"They sensed me? Looks like it won't be so easy for them to escape," Killer B muttered to himself.
"Wait, that man's Chakra suddenly increased significantly. It looks like he's going to get serious. I feel uneasy. Let's run."
"Even if Killer B Bee dies in battle, he won't run away, you idiot! You bastard!"
"Sigh, I knew it would be like this."
Aoki Tsuki flashed into the water, and the octopus's corpse had transformed into Killer B's appearance—it was Tail-Severing Transformation Technique.
" The Eight-Tails 'Chakra cannot be wasted..."
He took out a scroll from his person, sealed it away, and prepared for the worst. He had already sensed a powerful Chakra approaching at an extremely fast speed.
Soon, a man crackling with blue lightning appeared in sight, hurtling towards Aoki Tsuki like a cannonball.
"Ah... Xiao's people, it's you again!!"
roar...
A water jet shot into the sky, colliding head-on with the raging bull and forcing it back from its ferocious advance.
"Big brother."
Killer B stopped hiding his true colors. Despite his carefree attitude, he was actually a very obedient and respectful subordinate in front of the Raikage.
Seeing that his sworn brother was unharmed, Ai's anger subsided slightly. "Bi, it's good that you're alright."
"Those two are incredibly powerful. That woman can turn her body into paper. My brother and I will only have a chance of winning if we team up."
"It's been a long time since we brothers fought side by side."
Ai stretched his right arm and said, "Let's use that move, let's get started."
"OK, Brother."
The strongest Shinobi World duo: A-B Duo VS Azure Dragon and White Tiger.
Swoosh~
The two figures rushed towards their respective opponents at the same time. Ai appeared behind Konan almost instantly and punched her through her body.
"No physical form?"
The fist felt light and airy, most likely a clone technique or something similar, Ai judged.
boom...
Konan's Paper Clone took the opportunity to detonate the Explosive Tag hidden inside her body, but this explosion was like a tickle to Ai.
He didn't even bother to dodge, letting the flames engulf him. His Lightning Release Chakra Armor gave him the confidence to ignore most conspiracies and tricks.
"A trivial skill."
On the other side, Killer B also took a clean and decisive hit from the ' Vacuum Cleaving Palm ' and was sent flying by the shockwave. Just as he was about to fall into the water, an octopus tentacle extended from behind him, acting like a spring to cushion the impact as he landed.
The next second, Abby and her partner launched their strongest combination attack at Aoki Tsuki, rushing towards him from both sides and locking down his escape route.
" Double Lariat "
Standing in the middle, Aoki Tsuki felt as if two bulls were charging at him, their curved horns about to snap his neck when they crossed.
Puff puff puff...
He opened all 361 acupoints on his body, spewing out Chakra, and his body spun in place at supersonic speed, forming an egg-shaped Chakra shield.
This is the Hyuga Clan's absolute defense.
" Rotation "
boom!!
After two violent impacts, the expected egg being crushed and burst did not occur. Instead, Ai and Killer B were swept away by the force of the high-speed rotation.
Aoki Tsuki stopped rotating, and a thousand-armed Senju statue, tens of meters tall, appeared around him.
"Now, combine!"
Splash...
Countless pieces of paper quickly adhered to the Buddha statue's body, seamlessly forming a complete set of clothes, and then coalesced into a pile of paper wings behind it.
Lotus petals are pieced together to form protective armor, and he wields Futsunomitama.
"You two brothers should also try our combined Ninjutsu."
With such a size, a single, casual slash would be enough to destroy a small mountain. Ai is very fast and difficult to hit; his target is the Eight-Tails.
"You're after me, you bastard! You idiot!!"
Killer B hurriedly entered his full Tailed Beast form, opened his mouth to condense a large Tailed Beast Bomb, and blasted it forward.
whoosh...
The Thousand-Armed Kannon Guanyin leaped into the sky, her movements incredibly agile, showing no clumsiness whatsoever. Her Tailed Beast Bomb missed its target, sending her flying towards the distant mountains.
"Flying... it's flying?!"
"This is a huge problem, let's get out of here quickly," Gyuki urged.
Ai frowned, looking at the enemy in the sky. "What kind of technique is this...?"
No matter how strong his attacks were, they couldn't hit the enemy in the sky; the opponent had essentially bypassed the rules of the game of head-on confrontation.
At this moment, Konan maneuvered her wings and swooped down towards the Eight-Tails' main body, while Aoki Tsuki focused on slashing with his sword. One of them was responsible for piloting, and the other was responsible for attacking.
"It's coming, let's go!"
Before the blade even reached him, the Gyuki howled in agony, as if he could already see himself being cleaved in two and dying.
At the critical moment, Ai leaped onto the top of the Gyuki's head and blocked the powerful slash with a strong hand chop.
Squeak, squeak...
"This is bad, my horn!"
The Gyuki felt an immense pressure from the blade, its hands braced against the ground, unable to move, while its eight tails wrapped around the blade in an attempt to free itself.
Its gaze fell upon the man standing above it. At that moment, Ai crossed his arms to brace against the blade, refusing to retreat an inch.
'It was his father who cut off my horns back then.'
' Eight, now is not the time to hold grudges. Let's protect the other horn first.'
As Perfect Jinchuriki, the Tailed Beast and its host are of one mind, so Eight naturally noticed Killer B's little scheme.
"Oh? You're quite strong."
Aoki Tsuki immediately manipulated all his arms to press down on the sword, and as the output of Chakra increased, all one thousand hands pressed down at the same time.
Click!
The right horn of the bull was severed by the blade, the sharp light cutting straight for its head, and Ai was immediately knocked to the ground.
"Ouch... it hurts so much! Tail Severing Jutsu!"
whoosh...
The enormous Eight-Tails creature vanished, leaving only a section of its tentacle behind.
To hide, it plunged into the canyon waters, even spewing out ink that turned the canyon water black, and no one knew where it was hiding.
"You think I can't do anything to you like this? Sage Mode - Second Stage, activate!"
At this moment, Aoki Tsuki was radiating a faint white light, and the Senjutsu Chakra within his body had increased tenfold compared to his basic form.
The person who felt it most deeply was Konan, who was connected to him.
"This feeling... is comparable to Nagato, no, it's an energy at a higher level than Chakra."
Konan had already been taught the concept of Senjutsu Chakra by Aoki Tsuki, and she could feel its immense power every time they practiced the Combination Technique.
Even Konan herself tried to cultivate according to the method, but felt nothing. Nagato also tried, but felt nothing at all.
Cultivation aptitude and ninja talent have absolutely nothing to do with each other.
"Immortal Technique: Hundred Lightning Hunt "
In one go, a hundred ball lightning bolts were created and thrown into the water, like Hoshisame hitting the earth.
Boom boom boom...
The terrifying explosion completely destroyed Valley of Clouds and Lightning, turning it into ruins. Collapsed mountains filled the gorge, and lightning raged and flashed, making it resemble a hell of thunder.
Thud...
Aiti punched the boulder that was pressing down on his head, and jumped out carrying Killer B.
At this moment, Killer B was convulsing all over, and Gyuki was shocked into retreating into its seal. Under such a massive bombardment of lightning, without absolute defensive power, it was impossible to protect itself.
"Cheer up!"
"Big brother... I... I... I feel so good..."
At this moment Gyuki appeared and replaced Bi, saying, "Fourth brother, I'll throw you next to that guy later and see if you can break his golden Buddha statue."
"What are you waiting for? Let's do it!" Ai had been holding back his anger for a long time, wishing he could fly.
"What an impatient guy, completely different from Bi."
The Gyuki muttered something under its breath, then stretched out its octopus tentacles, wrapped them around Ai's body, and hurled them at the Thousand-Armed Kannon floating in the sky.
call out!
" Liger Bomb "
The powerful whip kick, unleashed by concentrating Chakra in the legs and combining it with the Lightning Release Armor, combines speed and strength, striking like a sharp axe and severely injuring the opponent with lightning speed.
boom!!
The Thousand-Armed Kannon, clad in lotus armor, was cleaved in two at the waist by an axe, her lower body nearly falling off. Fortunately, Konan managed to reattach the paper fragments in time.
"Bull, let me show you my newly acquired super Taijutsu, the Hundred-Hand Divine Vacuum Palm."
Thump thump thump...
It's not about unleashing a hundred palm strikes in one go, but rather striking a hundred palm strikes simultaneously. At this point, there's no need to consider Chakra control.
The core of the move is a powerful flying brick, with a hundred air cannons concentrated and exploding on the target.
Whoosh!
Ai only had time to see the sky filled with palm shadows before she realized she could finally fly. Looking back, Valley of Clouds and Lightning had become a tiny dot in her sight.
"What a turtle shell."
Aoki Tsuki cursed angrily, looking down at the giant octopus on the ground. "No one should bother us anymore, you big dummy."
With the giant angel wings behind them gently flapping, the two rode the Thousand-Armed Kannon straight into the sky.
"It's going to be worse than this!"
"I've recovered, you idiot~ you jerk~, huh? Where did big brother go!"
"Never mind your older brother for now, look up at the sky."
Rumble...
The air produced a piercing sonic boom due to friction, and a white halo appeared around the Thousand-Armed Kannon, yet it continued to accelerate downwards.
The wings on her back had been removed by Konan, and the lotus armor disintegrated and reattached around the lotus platform to serve as protection.
Senju united Buddha's Divine Palm!
" Tailed Beast Bomb "
The Gyuki hurriedly created a small Tailed Beast Bomb in an attempt to turn the tide, but the Tailed Beast Bomb was forcibly pressed back by a large golden hand.
boom!!
Comparable to a nuclear explosion, the powerful Tailed Beast Bomb shattered under the immense pressure of the Buddha's Divine Palm.
The earthquake trembled violently, and the shockwave completely cleared away the surrounding rubble and soil, turning the towering peaks of Valley of Clouds and Lightning into Yunlei Valley and a sinkhole.
Killer B was knocked unconscious by the aftershocks of the explosion and collapsed in a pile of rubble hundreds of meters away. If it weren't for the Eight-Tails' ability to sever its tail and escape at the crucial moment, it would probably be dead by now.
In other words, it has a strong regenerative ability; it lost three tails in a short time, and if the fighting continues, it will go bald.
A lotus flower flew out during the explosion, and Aoki Tsuki and Konan survived safely inside.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, taking advantage of the chaos of the explosion, Aoki Tsuki grabbed Konan's slender waist with his right arm and pulled her down onto the lotus platform.
By the time Konan realized what was happening, the guy naturally withdrew his hand, casually brushing it across her buttocks.
It seems like I encountered it, but it also seems like I didn't. You can't do this without more than ten years of practical experience. You have to touch the tiger's backside with a light touch.
"Are you alright, Konan?"
Looking at Aoki Tsuki's lecherous face, Konan wanted nothing more than to slap him. He was a typical example of someone who took advantage of others and then acted innocent.
"You've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, haven't you? Ever since you proposed the Combination Technique."
"No, absolutely not, you have to believe me."
Aoki Tsuki shook his head frantically, explaining, "I was afraid you were in danger, and I just instinctively wanted to protect you. I didn't think much about it."
"I don't believe your nonsense. Stop rambling and go bring the Jinchūriki. Let's get out of here."
Now is not the time to dwell on things. A little while goes by and things might change. There's no time for romance here.
Konan urged him on, Aoki Tsuki quickly came to Killer B's side, wrapped his hair around the latter's body, and retreated with Konan.
No sooner had the two left than Zetsu and Obito emerged from the ground.
Black Zetsu said, "It seems he managed to capture the Eight-Tails after all."
"That's for sure. You saw the power of that move just now. A palm strike coming from the sky, who could withstand that?"
White Zetsu now has absolutely no desire to get close to Aoki Tsuki; each time he sees her, his fear deepens.
"What's there to be afraid of? He can only fly by borrowing Konan's Paper Dance Technique, it's not his own ability, and Perfect Susanoo."
"That seems to make sense. Konan can't be with him all the time. It's a pity that the Fourth Raikage didn't play a role."
"In this round, the A-B Combo suffered a complete defeat. Obito, why aren't you saying anything?" Black Zetsu asked.
Obito looked around before replying, "I'm thinking about how to plan the next round. We've thoroughly investigated this guy's information, so he shouldn't have any new abilities."
"You mean the final Nine-Tails? The Legendary Sannin Jiraiya, versus the God of War, Pain; the Sharingan Itachi versus the Azure Dragon —it's truly something to look forward to!"
"We missed a pair, Obito and Nagato are also missing," Zetsuko said.
Obito shook his head upon hearing this. "It's not over yet. This time, I'm going to command the Five Kage to do my bidding."
"You mean...?"
"The moment to decide the outcome has arrived." After saying Obito's body slowly disappeared from sight.
After he left, White Zetsu said, "It seems this guy can't wait to regain control of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path."
"Hehe... we've already collected eight Tailed Beast. If we wait any longer, he'll have absolutely no chance."
Should we help him?
"Why should we help him? He no longer intends to follow Madara's plan; he has betrayed Madara, and our cooperation is over."
"It's over? How come I didn't know!" White Zetsu exclaimed in surprise.
He had thought Obito was leaving normally, but it turned out he was saying goodbye.
"That's so heartless. They just broke up like that, without even saying goodbye. We've worked together for so long."
"He was never on our side."
Black Zetsu knew exactly what was going on. Obito saw that he was reluctant to hand over the key to control Nagato, and that Zetsu's intelligence abilities were indeed of little use at the moment.
So they chose to turn against each other.
"Sigh, let's go too, the Fourth Raikage is back."
"Hehe... poor guy, he probably won't be able to find his little brother."
