Purple flames erupted from the earth, swiftly forming an enormous, sealed barrier!
The Uchiha Flame Formation was a secret Uchiha Barrier Ninjutsu that Madara had personally taught him years ago. Its strength far surpassed the Four Violet Flames Formation, second only to the Four Red Yang Formation. Even containing the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path in a critical state was no trouble at all!
"I'm the great Eight-Tails Killer B, yearning to be free!! I won't be takoyaki trapped in a jar~~~~~ you fool~~!! You bastard~~~!!"
The Eight-Tails bobbed his head and snorted through his nostrils. He wrapped all eight octopus tentacles around his torso, then sent his enormous body rolling fiercely forward to the rhythm of his rap!
-Tailed Beast Eight-Volume Roll: Ox-Head Chariot!
Boom!
With an earth-shattering crash, the chariot stopped rolling. Eight octopus tentacles scraped rapidly against the barrier wall, sending flames flying, but the barrier showed no sign of giving way!
Even after a deep pit had been gouged into the earth and the Ox-Head Chariot had ground to a complete halt, the barrier remained intact. His scorched octopus tentacles steamed as they slumped limply to the ground!
"Ow, that hurts! I'm sorry now, for all that tasty, springy takoyaki I ate before~~~..."
Obito watched coldly. "Have you settled down a little now...?"
Within their mental world, the Eight-Tails said, "B, let's retreat for now! This enemy's ability is too troublesome!! Not even a Tailed Beast Bomb can hurt him!!"
"Ah... losing this fight~ doesn't feel right~. His tricks are a dream~, or so they seem~. Revenge can wait~, it's never too late~. You fool~! You bastard~!"
Whoosh!
An immensely powerful Tailed Beast Bomb formed inside the Eight-Tails' gaping mouth!
Whoosh!
The Tailed Beast Bomb passed through Obito's body and struck the barrier wall behind him.
Obito said coldly, "Looks like you still haven't learned your lesson!"
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
The flames of the massive explosion were confined within the barrier.
Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle...!
The intense heat and pressure warped the barrier. An opening appeared at the top, and a pillar of fire shot into the sky...
Once the energy had vented, the opening closed, and the barrier returned to its smooth, square shape without the slightest damage...
But the Eight-Tails had been caught in the explosion of his own Tailed Beast Bomb, leaving him covered in wounds!
Obito said coldly, "So this is what they mean by shooting yourself in the foot!"
The Eight-Tails cursed, "You bastard!"
Obito focused his right eye.
-Kamui!
Whoosh! A Fūma Shuriken spun down from the Kamui vortex and lodged in the Eight-Tails' tentacle!
Whoosh!
After the Fūma Shuriken, Wooden Stakes spiraled out like a shower of rain, blanketing the Eight-Tails' flesh!
Shhk, shhk, shhk, shhk!
As Obito formed hand seals, they sprouted a tangled profusion of barbs!
Blood streamed down the Eight-Tails' enormous body, staining the ground red!
The Eight-Tails said, "B...!! Do something, quick! At this rate, we'll die here!!!"
Killer B said, "His ability to let attacks pass through him is connected to his Sharingan. It should have a limit. He can't keep it up forever...!"
The Eight-Tails said, "That makes sense, but we know nothing about that limit!!"
Killer B said, "Eight-Tails Killer B fears no challenge!!!"
The Eight-Tails said, "It's remarkable that you can stay this optimistic in such danger. All right, I'll give you everything I've got. Worst case, we take him down with us!!"
Whoosh! The Eight-Tails gathered an unprecedented amount of chakra!
"Hmm?" Obito's gaze lifted slightly, and he stopped the vortex continuously streaming from his right eye.
After gathering his strength, Killer B unleashed an all-out attack.
-Consecutive Tailed Beast Bombs!!
Rumble, rumble, rumble...!!!!!!!!!
The Tailed Beast Bombs fired like a rapid-fire cannon, setting off resonating explosions within the barrier!!
Amid the indiscriminate chaos of fire, Obito murmured, "Hurting yourself almost as much as your enemy, trying to test Kamui's limits with a nearly suicidal attack. Indeed, this is the stupidest yet wisest strategy..."
"But every explosion will be confined within this barrier!
"Even while intangible, I can still move [Non-Time-Space Transfer]!"
Within the torrent of explosions, Obito shifted his position. Whoosh! Roughly two minutes later, his body passed through the edge of the barrier, emerging outside.
Looking at the barrier, now a hellish furnace, Obito's gaze darkened. "Now you've brought about your own destruction..."
Crack! Crack!
Suddenly, cracks appeared in the barrier wall before him, leaking terrifying surges of energy!
"The strain from the intense heat actually exceeded the Uchiha Flame Formation's limit!"
-Kamui!
Whoosh! The vortex released from his right eye sucked him into Spacetime...
Boom!!!!!
The Uchiha Flame Formation collapsed completely, and a devastating blast of flame engulfed the earth in an instant...
Whoosh!
When Obito returned from Spacetime, the forest for miles around had been utterly flattened!
Everything was gone!
Killer B lay motionless at the bottom of the deep crater, his entire body charred black.
"So this is the Eight-Tails' true power. You never used your full strength against either Sasuke or Kisame."
Obito stepped forward, watching coldly with his Sharingan.
"I'm quite certain you're neither a clone nor a substitute. In that case, I'll gladly take you..."
He bent down and reached toward Killer B.
Suddenly, Killer B's eyes opened behind his sunglasses, and his arm shot out like lightning!
Crackle!
A pencil wreathed in Lightning Release shot through Obito's mask, flew out through the back of his head, and vanished into the sky.
Swish!
His surprise attack had failed. Enduring the pain of his wounds, Killer B retreated three meters and used his remaining tailed beast chakra to form a translucent Tailed Beast Cloak!
"Hah, hah, hah..." He panted heavily, but his eyes behind his sunglasses remained defiant!
Obito slowly withdrew his hand and said in a low voice, "Give yourself up quietly, and perhaps you'll suffer a little less."
Killer B grinned. "There's no song with that title in my songbook!"
"What a shame." Obito slowly lowered his head. Shhk! Shhk! Shhk! Grotesque tree trunks burst through the clothing over his right shoulder, growing wildly toward the blood moon in the sky!
-Wood Release: Hellish Rampage!
The Raikage returned to Kumogakure.
Dodai said, "Lord Raikage!! The intruder has surrounded the Residence with a barrier!!"
"Hmph!"
The Raikage snorted coldly and rolled his thick neck. Lightning Armor wreathed his body. Looking at the barrier, he extended two fingers, which formed a sharp spear as lightning covered them!
Dodai's expression grew solemn. That's the Third Raikage's One-Finger Nukite! The Fourth Raikage prefers using his fists and feet, so he only mastered the Two-Finger Nukite, but that should still be enough to break this barrier!
Crackle!
The Raikage gathered his strength and lunged. The lightning spear at his fingertips pierced the barrier, and his powerful body crashed through after it!
Inside the office, books, desks, chairs, barbells, and other equipment were scattered everywhere.
Naruto rummaged through the cabinets and drawers, his brow gradually furrowing. "I can't find it anywhere. Could it be... not here?"
Boom!!!
The wall exploded!!
"Akatsuki scum, your life ends here!!!!!"
The Raikage's roar erupted alongside the blast. His furious eyes were wide as he glared fixedly at the figure in the Fire Cloud Robe!
"The Raikage? We meet again so soon. Perfect, there's something I wanted to ask you..." came a calm voice.
The Raikage's eyes nearly bulged from their sockets. "Hmm!? That voice... You're..."
Naruto slowly turned around and asked in all seriousness, "Where did you put the scroll containing the Lightning Release Chakra Mode? Why can't I find it anywhere???"
"What!?"
As though subjected to an unbearable insult, Raikage A was utterly consumed by fury!
"You've got to be kidding me! Die!!!!"
