A Moment of Cheating Feels Good, Constant Cheating Feels Even Better!

Beep!

Blood dripped continuously from the small wounds on White Dove's body as he panted heavily.

On the surface, his pupils appeared to be three-tomoe, but in reality, they were already Mangekyo; they remained unexposed only because they were disguised by "contact lenses."

He would never expose his Mangekyo.

He had only put on the contact lenses when he came here alone. He hadn't worn them when he attacked Kakashi because he knew he would erase the man's memory, so there was no risk of the Mangekyo being exposed.

"Bakayaro, konoyaro, you are strong, and I am strong too; this battle is destined to shine!"

Standing at the cave entrance, Killer B began to rap and dance, his body covered in more wounds that were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was practically cheating!

The recovery ability of a jinchuriki was truly astonishing.

With bottomless chakra and visible regeneration, it was no wonder that sealing jutsu, Sharingan, and Wood Release were the best tools for dealing with tailed beasts—they were the perfect counters to those two traits.

In the close-quarters clash just moments ago, White Dove had entered his Mangekyo state, and only with the aid of its terrifying insight was he able to trade blows and end up in a mutual stalemate.

In that regard, Killer B was truly worthy of his status as a "perfect jinchuriki" at the peak Kage level.

Before the era of the "hidden schemers" in the Shippuden timeline, he was absolutely T0-tier.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three figures leaped out from the cave, forming a semicircle to cut off White Dove's retreat.

"Uchiha White Dove, you have nowhere left to run. If you are willing to surrender, our Kumogakure can offer you a chance to join us!"

Samui, with her blonde hair, green eyes, and tall stature, spoke up to recruit him.

These words were both a probe and a psychological tactic.

Once a "retreat" was offered, one might naturally hold back during the fight, and she wanted to test if his resolve was wavering.

As for whether he would actually surrender, neither Samui nor Killer B considered it a possibility.

Just as a ninja of the Yotsuki Clan would never expect an enemy to surrender if they were surrounded on the battlefield.

"The Uchiha never surrender!!"

Though the pain still lingered in Uchiha White Dove's body, a surge of exhilarating battle intent welled up in his heart.

Before he transmigrated, what ordinary person didn't dream of possessing boundless power and defeating mighty foes?

This was the motivation that kept him grinding even without a heaven-defying cheat.

Men are born with a love for power.

His usual caution and prudence were simply because he refused to be reckless or brain-dead; it didn't mean he didn't crave strength.

Now was his chance to familiarize himself with that power.

There was no better way to master one's strength than by crossing blades with a powerhouse.

The Uchiha bloodline was inherently warlike, and White Dove finally felt he was truly experiencing it.

As for his previous spar with Uchiha Fugaku, both sides knew it was just practice, so there was naturally no reason for his blood to boil.

Quickly stopping his bleeding so his wounds wouldn't hinder his combat effectiveness, White Dove wasn't worried about the enemy taking advantage of the moment to launch a sneak attack, as this was exactly what he had baited them into.

However, his opponents were experienced and did not fall for the trap.

"Yeah, Killer Bee has entered the stage, infinite rage!"

Killer B's injuries had already healed, and a layer of red light erupted from his body.

Tailed Beast chakra!

In this state, not only did his recovery and defense skyrocket, but all his attributes were enhanced as well—it also meant he was getting serious.

The brief exchange just now had made him feel the pressure from White Dove's exquisite swordsmanship.

White Dove began to weave hand seals.

Zzzzt!

A blue glow emerged.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Cloak!"

His signature ninjutsu had officially entered the fray.

In this state, all his aspects were enhanced, especially his reaction speed, which was absolutely no slower than that of Minato.

High reaction speed, paired with the terrifying insight of the Mangekyo Sharingan, transformed his combat prowess.

After all, no matter how fast your reaction is, you can't deal with what you can't see clearly, and the reverse is also true.

If you can see clearly but your reaction can't keep up, it's equally useless.

Therefore, the Lightning Cloak, a technique that uses electrical currents to stimulate the nervous system, was truly tailor-made for an Uchiha with a Sharingan.

He had spent a massive amount of funds and consumed a batch of ninja materials just to develop this technique.

However, the moment he unleashed his Lightning Cloak, it immediately shattered the composure of the Kumogakure group.

"This is..."

"Impossible!"

"Is that the Lightning Cloak? No, that's not it!"

The three members of the Samui squad, responsible for cutting off White Dove's retreat, could not believe what they were seeing.

Each of the Five Great Shinobi Villages possessed its own signature ninjutsu.

Sand Ninja had "Puppet Technique," Rock Ninja had "Dust Release," Mist Ninja had "Hidden Mist Technique," Konoha had "Wood Release," and Cloud Ninja had the "Lightning Cloak."

Once these techniques were unleashed, the identity of the user could almost always be confirmed.

Yet now, a technique similar to their own village's representative art was being used by an enemy; how could they not be shocked and demoralized?

It was just like a Konoha ninja seeing someone from Kumogakure using Wood Release—it would make them question reality itself.

However, White Dove would not waste time; he took the initiative to attack after activating his Lightning Cloak.

"Flash Step!"

His entire figure vanished from where he stood.

This technique, which combined the advantages of "Shave" and "Body Flicker Technique," allowed him high mobility within a small range.

Clang! Clang!

Their weapons clashed, every strike aimed at a lethal point.

This was a battle between ninjas; it lacked the flair of the anime he watched before transmigrating, replaced entirely by danger and bloodshed.

"Ninja Army Six Styles: Kami-e!"

White Dove unleashed this taijutsu.

Although the ninja world lacked "Observation Haki," there was no shortage of sensory abilities, so as long as one had the imagination, developing these techniques was not impossible... provided one didn't die during the development process.

With the use of Kami-e, White Dove's entire body fluttered like willow catkins in the wind, dancing around attacks without ever being struck.

Taking advantage of the moment Killer B's attack missed due to Kami-e, White Dove swung his hands.

"Swallow Reversal!"

He unleashed this A-rank secret sword technique.

Swish! Swish!

Two brilliant, snowy flashes of light appeared simultaneously, forming an intersecting "X" shape that sealed off all of Killer B's escape routes.

Uchiha Fugaku had been able to prepare a Substitution Technique in advance because of the "precognition" of his Mangekyo, but Killer B possessed no such ocular technique, so he naturally had no choice but to take the hit head-on.

Because the space for evasion had been completely sealed.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two incredibly thick octopus tentacles suddenly erupted from behind him, crashing into the two sword strikes.

Rip!

With a sound like tearing fabric, these tentacles, as thick as a round table, were severed.

"Tch!"

White Dove cursed inwardly, then used Flash Step to create distance, avoiding the counterattack of the Tailed Beast chakra.

Only after personally experiencing the power of a jinchuriki does one understand why they are considered the strategic weapons of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.

Endless chakra, terrifying recovery speed!

Combined with a formidable jinchuriki, one instantly gains a powerhouse starting at the Kage level. On the battlefield, due to their advantages in stamina and chakra, they can output the firepower of at least a dozen Kage-level fighters.

Because how could human chakra ever compare to the infinite, inexhaustible chakra of a Tailed Beast? In terms of output, one naturally falls short.

Now that White Dove was facing him personally, he finally understood the true strength of Killer B.

"Acrobat!"

Killer B held seven ninja swords in his mouth, hands, elbows, and knees, sweeping toward him like a hedgehog.

It had to be said that in terms of swordsmanship, he was truly at the pinnacle of the ninja world.

All seven blades moved as if they were his own limbs; every strike was sharp and agile, leaving almost no room for evasion.

It was only the terrifying reaction speed and observational power brought by the Lightning Cloak and the Mangekyo that allowed White Dove to handle it with ease.

The Sharingan is simply too much of a counter to taijutsu!

One has to admit, the one using cheats has such an advantage over the one who isn't.

White Dove's own swordsmanship was not weak, and combined with his current heightened observation and reaction speed, he could handle Killer B's seven-sword style with ease, unlike Second Pillar, who was soundly beaten in the anime.

Cheating is fun for a moment, but cheating forever is always fun!

At this moment, White Dove finally understood the joy of the Uchiha.

The Sharingan is truly useful.

Furthermore, when it came to dealing with Killer B, his advantages were nothing short of exaggerated.

For a Jinchuriki, facing others meant contending with a "High Kage-level" threat, but against someone like him who possessed the Mangekyo, it was more like facing a "Quasi-Kage" level rhythm.

The Mangekyo Sharingan was the natural nemesis of the Tailed Beasts!

It might be impossible to use the Mangekyo to manipulate Killer B directly, but using it to control a Tailed Beast was incredibly easy; the two were simply not in the same league when it came to resistance against the Mangekyo.

Therefore, White Dove was waiting—waiting for his opponent to undergo Tailed Beast Transformation.

Of course, the prerequisite was being able to force his opponent to that level.

Thus, after familiarizing himself with his current strength, he once again brought out his trump card.

"Summoning Technique!"

Dove after dove flew out.

However, what White Dove did not expect was that the moment these doves appeared, the Samui squad, who had been responsible for the blockade, suddenly sprang into action.
