"Kakashi, stop him!!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi ordered Kakashi, who stood beside him.
"Yes, Lord Hokage!!"
Kakashi Hatake formed hand seals without hesitation.
"Lightning Release: Thunder Wolf!!"
Two kunai flew out.
Lightning took the shape of an azure wolf in midair, the attack aimed straight at Killer B as he entered his Tailed Beast Transformation.
Unfortunately...
Killer B had already entered his transformed state. A red vortex erupted around his entire body, completely neutralizing Kakashi Hatake's Lightning Release Ninjutsu.

Besides, the Fourth Raikage realized that if he didn't leave now, he might never get the chance.

The Beaded Shuriken obliterated everything in its path, leaving a trace of helplessness in the Third Hokage's eyes.

At his age, such intense fighting had already left him exhausted.
"I still have some chakra left. Let me try, Lord Hokage. I'll see if I can draw the fight
