The Last Tailed Beast

Bang bang bang!

A thick cloud of white mist exploded in the air, followed by a row of figures dressed in Red Cloud Black Cloak falling down in unison.

With icy eyes and emotionless faces, five figures exuding murderous aura landed steadily on the ground in a straight line.

"Six people?" Killer B's heart sank; he could sense the power of the Deva Path.

If six equally powerful individuals appeared together, he wouldn't be very confident in defeating them.

Valley of Clouds and Lightning is where Jinchūriki) train and live. Under normal circumstances, no one approaches this place, as the dangers caused by Jinchūriki going berserk are terrifying.

To prevent the Jinchūriki from going berserk during the process of learning to control the Tailed Beast and causing unpredictable damage to the Kumogakure.

Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer B, was then assigned to the Valley of Clouds and Lightning.

However, not everyone noticed all of this...

In recent years, the Ninja World has been in turmoil, with Tailed Beast from various countries being captured one after another. The Raikage has secretly left Kumogakure for the Land of Iron in order to deal with this matter.

Without leaving enough power to protect Killer B, the Raikage wouldn't be able to leave so easily.

However, all of this is hidden in the shadows.

On a mountain peak not far from Valley of Clouds and Lightning, an elite squad from Kumogakure observed all of this.

"The Red Clouds on a Black Background Coat are indeed the Akatsuki Organization that Lord Raikage mentioned!" The squad leader held up his binoculars and clearly saw the group fighting Killer B.

"Do you need reinforcements?" a Cloud Ninja asked.

"No, when Killer B gets serious, we can't interfere." The squad leader didn't even recognize the terror of the Eight-Tails; he didn't believe those guys could defeat Killer B.

"But, Lord Raikage's orders..." Another Cloud Ninja hesitated. Even so, they couldn't just do nothing.

The Cloud Ninja squad leader pondered for a moment; he knew, of course, that they had to do something.

"You go and contact Lord Asamu. You two come with me."

"Yes!"

Swish, swish, swish!

The four of them split into two groups, and the one designated by the Cloud Ninja squad leader quickly broke away and headed straight towards the Kumogakure.

Valley of Clouds and Lightning, on a platform halfway up the mountain.

The Animal Path, riding the three-legged bird Yatagarasu, controlled the air, while below, the five people led by the Deva Path formed a fan shape to block Killer B's path.

The five are essentially one entity, their visual communication being controlled remotely by Nagato.

The moment the Yatagarasu drops its bombs from the sky will be the moment Pain's Six Paths launch their attack!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Yatagarasu's unique ability is to drop giant, egg-shaped bombs from the air, the explosive force of which is enough to destroy a solid wall.

"Aren't those things afraid of hurting their own people?" Killer B frowned slightly, a strange thought flashing through his mind.

There was no extra time to think. The moment Yatagarasu dropped the bomb, the arm of the five people, led by Deva Path, trembled.

A sharp, slender iron rod protruded from the wide sleeves of the robe.

It may look like just an ordinary fire poker, but in reality, a deadly aura constantly emanates from the iron rod.

"I'll show you something powerful!" Killer B's muscular body was surprisingly agile; he spun in the air and made several leaps backward to create distance.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Killer B Bee's muscles twitched, and a burst of chakra erupted, sending all Seven Swords scattered throughout his body flying into the air.

Glug...

Glug glug...

The evil chakra transformed into a crimson hue, like glaring blood bubbles bubbling endlessly in boiling blood.

In an instant, seven tails appeared!

"Tailed Beast Transformation, Chakra Cloak." Upon seeing this, Deva Path rapidly charging Pain did not stop or even slow down.

He had seen too many similar scenes in the process of capturing the Tailed Beast.

Rumor has it that the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is the most perfect Jinchūriki, capable of fully Tailed Beast Transformation and fighting in the form of the Eight-Tails Ox Demon.

Most importantly, the Eight-Tails, after Complete Tailed Beast Transformation, did not lose its mind and go berserk, becoming a monster that only knew how to kill.

The Eight-Tails Ox Demon will not only not hold Killer B back, but will also help him with the immense chakra of the Tailed Beast.

"Disperse!" Deva Path bent down and raised his hand, and the other four people quickly dispersed.

The Deva Path's ability is the control of force, just like the control of force seen in Tōka's Tenseigan, which is divided into Repulsive Force and Attractive Force.

Repulsive Force, named after Shinra Tensei, is a powerful force that explodes in all directions, blasting enemies away.

Attractive Force is named after the Banshō Ten'in; it can attract everything within an Attractive Force field from all directions, or it can be directed at a single person or object.

Everyone except the Deva Path Dao dispersed to avoid being affected by the Deva Path's power.

Meanwhile, Killer B was also ready to fight. Killer B was not just a hermit who hid in the deep mountains to cultivate.

He was also an Elite Ninja survived the brutal Battlefield of Third Shinobi World War.

He knew that all the attacks were centered around the short-haired, expressionless man in front of him; in other words, the other attacks were basically feints.

The truly deadly weapon is the Deva Path!

"The Acrobat!"

The same move, yet with vastly different power.

When Killer B is in his Tailed Beast Cloak form, the immense Eight-Tails chakra enhances his speed and strength exponentially.

Lightning Release permeated his body, stimulating the cells within to unleash their strongest power!

Seven blood-red tails, like octopus tentacles, coiled up to form Seven Swords...

Killer B's body sank, he clenched his fists and pulled back his waist, his feet crushing the ground due to excessive force, his entire foot sinking into the hard Rock.

Bang!

The chakra gathered on Killer B's feet exploded with a roar, instantly creating a terrifying surge of energy between the earth and his body.

The earth doesn't move, but Killer B's body does.

With power rising from the ground, Killer B pushed off with both legs, his agile body springing out, the force shaking up the gravel and dust on the ground, creating a dust storm behind him.

For a moment, only flashes of red could be seen in the arena, and none of the six people and six pairs of eyes could fully capture Killer B's figure.

His movements were so fast that even the eyes couldn't keep up!

Boom!

Suddenly, a dull thud sounded first, and then the slender figure stiffened slightly before being sent flying backward.

Killer B Bee crashed headfirst into Human Path's arms, the powerful impact Human Path flying like a cannonball.

Seven tails, Seven Swords.

In a fleeting moment, they danced wildly countless times.

Even though he was just a corpse, a puppet that felt no pain, under such a dense barrage of blows, all the muscles and bones in his body were destroyed.

Let alone fighting, just being able to stand up is a feat!

"Take care of one first!" Killer B's voice rang out, and Deva Path stretched out a hand, his five fingers spread open and loosely clenched, a black Vortex condensing in his palm.

Banshō Ten'in!

As the palm of the Deva Path Dao withdrew, Killer B's body immediately stiffened!

A terrifying Attractive Force field spread out, and the entire vast platform was within the range of the Banshō Ten'in.

Killer B suddenly felt his body lighten, and then, as if he had lost the pull of Gravity, he floated into the air.

After a brief pause, with a whoosh, Killer B's body seemed to be out of his control, flying straight towards the Deva Path.

"That's the power we just saw!" Killer B, usually optimistic and playful, was unusually calm and collected during battle.

Both sides concealed deadly moves in their first probing attacks. Killer B used the Attractive Force field of the Deva Path to accelerate his sprint, forcing the Animal Path to intervene and provide assistance.

The scene at this moment is remarkably similar, and Killer B is also planning to use the same tactics!

With his toes touching the ground, Lightning Release to stimulate the power in his legs, and with the help of the Attractive Force field set up by the Deva Path, his speed towards the Killer B Deva Path increased rather than decreased.

"Trying to use the same trick a second time?" Through Deva Path's eyes, Nagato clearly saw Killer B's movements.

Don't treat him like a fool!

A chubby man with a round face Body Flicker Technique in front of Deva Path's Deva Path; he was none other than the Preta Path, one of the Pain's Six Paths of Pain responsible for defense.

He hunched over, lowered his center of gravity, and loosely clenched his hands in a defensive stance.

Killer B's Taijutsu is not simply about physical strength and Steel Fist, but rather about using Lightning Release to stimulate cells and activate body speed, combined with the power of muscles to unleash powerful blows.

Whether it's the external release of Lightning Release chakra or the Lightning Release chakra applied to oneself.

Chakra from the Preta Path is something that can be absorbed!

Sealing Technique: Absorption Seal!

The Preta Path reverses the chakra circulation within the body, allowing it to rapidly absorb the enemy's chakra while simultaneously converting the absorbed chakra into its own!

Puff!

Killer B's heavy punch landed in the palm of the Preta Path, and the Preta Path desperately stomped its toes on the ground. The powerful impact caused its entire body to keep moving backward.

The ground beneath his feet was shattered, but as time passed, the force of Killer B's impact gradually dissipated, and the Preta Path's retreating movements also decreased.

Until their bodies came to a complete stop!

A crimson Chakra Cloak, thick blood bubbles churning, and red light flowing into the body of the Preta Path at a visible speed.

"What's going on? My chakra..." Killer B stared in astonishment at the fat man in front of him, who was devouring my chakra.

The crimson Chakra Cloak was disintegrating, and part of Killer B's body was exposed to the air.

The chakra flowing into the Preta Path is like a stream flowing into the ocean; it can never be completely filled or absorbed.

What appeared to be a long standoff actually lasted only a few breaths.

Killer B had already noticed something was wrong with his body; a feeling of powerlessness washed over him, as if the strength in his body was being depleted.

"Killer B, get moving!" Gyuki's voice suddenly rang out, startling Killer B!

"Hachi?" Killer B and the Eight-Tails Ox Demon could communicate telepathically without speaking. "I want to move too, but I can't."

Upon hearing this, Gyuki's voice turned cold.

"Use the Tailed Beast Bomb!"

"Tailed Beast Bomb? It seems the opponent can directly seal the Jutsu Formula and convert it into chakra absorption..." Killer B hadn't finished speaking when Gyuki punched him on the head.

"Idiot, the Tailed Beast Bomb isn't for hitting him!" Gyuki roared.

Killer B immediately realized, "That's right! The Tailed Beast Bomb doesn't need to hit the enemy! It only needs to break free from its restraints!"

As the thought flashed through his mind, Killer B's seven tails, whose color was gradually fading, began to bend.

Like wrapping dumplings, it completely enveloped him and the Preta Path, with a storm of chakra of both Yin and Yang attributes condensing and compressing it into a sphere at a ratio of two to eight.

"Tailed Beast Bomb?" The Preta Path's eyes narrowed, but he remained calm.

Let alone Tailed Beast Bomb in its Partial Tailed Beast Transformation form, even Tailed Beast Bomb in its complete form would be no problem!

The speed of the reversed chakra flow within the Preta Path suddenly increased dramatically, and the rate at which it absorbed chakra also increased several times in an instant!

Boom!

A blinding halo flashed by, followed by a deafening explosion. In an instant, the ground on the huge platform shattered, and rocks flew everywhere!

With lightning speed, Deva Path grabbed the Preta Path and pulled him over, instantly activating a powerful Repulsion Field.

Shinra Tensei!

The ground, subjected to a tactic of violence against violence, could no longer withstand the two men's relentless onslaught and collapsed and shattered in an instant.

Broken stones, a falling figure.

The sandstorm blurred their vision, and the group could no longer focus on attacking. Instead, they clung to the nearest fallen boulder to steady themselves.

A large amount of rubble fell, and although the Animal Path wanted to control the Yatagarasu to get closer, it was powerless to do so...

After a slight pause, the Animal Path half-squatted down, formed hand Hand Seals, and then directly used Summoning Technique to summon the other five people directly behind the Yatagarasu.

Rumble...

Endless smoke and dust rose from Valley of Clouds and Lightning, engulfing most of the Heavenly Ladder in sight, along with the figure of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

Not far from Valley of Clouds and Lightning, on a mountain peak, Konan used the Secret Technique of Paper Dance to transform into a giant Rock and hide Nagato and herself.

"Have they caught the Eight-Tails yet?" Konan noticed Nagato's lowered hands, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

The cessation of massive chakra flow indicated that Nagato had not activated the Pain's Six Paths Jutsu Formula, leading her to deduce that the battle was over.

Konan also hoped that the battle was over, as the continuous high-intensity fighting would lead to chakra depletion, and the depleted chakra would come at the cost of Nagato's life force.

The power of the Rinnegan is not so easy to control!

Nagato took a deep breath, regaining his composure. He shook his head gravely. "The Eight-Tails is more difficult to deal with than I imagined."

Although he hasn't used his full strength yet, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki hasn't Complete Tailed Beast Transformation.

He may eventually defeat the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, but the battle is far from over.

"As expected of the most perfect Jinchūriki..."

Hearing Nagato's words, Konan frowned slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she suggested, "I'll join the battle too."

Nagato stared silently, seemingly searching carefully for Killer B's location.

After a short while, his expression gradually relaxed, and he said expressionlessly, "No need, that guy has already escaped."

"It escaped?!" Konan dropped open in surprise; this was the first time she had ever seen prey escape from Nagato's grasp!

Compared to Konan's surprise, Nagato appeared much calmer.

Killer B attacked the ground in front of him with Tailed Beast Bomb, and the resulting energy storm swept over everyone. He then took advantage of the collapse of the platform in the middle of the ladder to escape.

It must be said that this was a brilliant tactic.

At such close range, that guy must have been seriously injured...
