After Nawaki finished speaking, he formed hand seals with both hands under everyone's puzzled gazes, controlling the vines to spread apart and reveal what was inside. When they looked, there was no sign of Killer B—only a massive octopus tentacle remained~~~

Everyone showed astonished expressions. Jiraiya said, "Isn't that the Eight-Tails' tentacle? Where's Killer B? I clearly saw the Eight-Tails being bound by Wood Release!"

Dan Katō said thoughtfully, "Did it abandon a tentacle and escape by severing its tail?"

Nawaki nodded. "That's right! The Eight-Tails has a special ability. Like an octopus, it can sever a tentacle to escape, and it can regrow it afterward. Killer B's real body must have hidden inside one of the tentacles and fled amid the chaos!"

Having read the original work, Nawaki had long known about the Eight-Tails' special ability and had prepared for it in advance. Yet even after using Chidori to sever all of the Eight-Tails' tentacles at once, he still hadn't sensed where Killer B's true body was!

Nawaki guessed that besides its ability to sever its tail, the Eight-Tails also possessed some kind of camouflage ability that blocked perception. Otherwise, it could not have escaped twice in succession right under Karin and Madara's noses.

"Search the surrounding area. See if there are any more octopus tentacles or other clues. Maybe he hasn't left yet!"

Nawaki gave the order, and the Konoha shinobi nearby spread out to search. They quickly found a clue: beneath the ground covered by Wood Release near the battlefield was a deep hole several meters wide, and black ink still lingered within the tunnel.

"So that's how it was!" Nawaki quickly deduced Killer B's escape route. He had deliberately tunneled underground, then secreted a large amount of ink to conceal his presence before severing a tentacle
