Picking up where we left off, the A-B duo had unleashed their combination technique, Double Lariat, expecting to deal Meihui a devastating blow. Instead, Meihui had frozen them together on the spot.
Gyuki, the Eight-Tails, was dumbfounded too. In just an instant, Meihui had frozen both Raikage A, who specialized in Lightning Release Armor, and Killer B, a perfect jinchuriki.
After briefly sensing the temperature around them, Gyuki understood why Meihui had been able to freeze them outright.
The chill pierced the bones, the cold struck straight at the soul. Gyuki had never encountered anyone like this before.
He hurriedly warned Killer B.
"B, we can't defeat this man. His Sealing Jutsu is too powerful, and it's especially effective against us. I'll force my way out of the ice in a moment. Grab A and run."
"Even you can't beat him?"
Killer B looked at A across from him, who was already on the verge of losing consciousness. This was the first time anyone had driven him into such a desperate corner. Even the Fourth Hokage back then hadn't managed that. Killer B could only agree to the Eight-Tails' plan.
"Let's go! Here we come!"
The Eight-Tails began gathering chakra, and a crimson Tailed Beast Cloak appeared around Killer B's body.
The Eight-Tails planned to increase the chakra density of Killer B's Tailed Beast Cloak, then detonate it to blast the ice apart. But the dream was beautiful, and reality was harsh.
When the Eight-Tails finally managed to gather enough chakra, even Killer B felt victory was within reach.
"Ah... fuck! What's going on?" This explosive release of energy usually worked perfectly, so why wasn't it doing anything now?
It was like a drop of water falling into an ocean-not even a ripple.
The ice before them showed no sign
