"What kind of sword is this?" The Fourth Raikage, who rarely spoke during battle, asked.
There are very few attacks that can ignore Lightning Release Armor. Ōnoki's Dust Release is one of them, but the speed of the Ninjutsu is too slow, making it almost impossible to hit him.
Hyuga Hiashi's Gentle Fist is one of them, but the Hyuga Clan's ninjas are generally not strong enough, so they have no chance to use the Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms or Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms in front of him.
The katana in Naoki Senju's hand was the greatest threat to him.
" Kusanagi Sword, Futsunomitama."
Naoki Senju made no attempt to conceal this information; the fact that he dared to stop the A B Combo on his own meant he had absolute confidence.
" Kusanagi Sword..." The Fourth Raikage had heard of the Kusanagi Sword, but he didn't take it seriously, and he didn't even care about the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' ninja tools in the village.
In his view, ninjas should rely solely on their own strength, and real men should practice Taijutsu and engage in head-on battles; only sissies use Ninjutsu!
"A very nice Ninja Blade Ninja Blade, but it's better to break one like this."
The Fourth Raikage, his anger boiling over, had been fighting for so long with his Lightning Release Armor activated, yet his momentum remained undiminished. At this moment, he charged towards his opponent without the slightest fear.
So what if the Lightning Release Armor's defense was ineffective? When he first stepped onto the battlefield, let alone the Lightning Release Armor, he didn't even have many decent Ninjutsu. Yet, he still led a newly recruited force to completely annihilate a force from Iwagakure led by several Jonin.
In battle, all other thoughts are superfluous; only the complete defeat of the enemy is his style.
" The Body Flicker Technique."
The Fourth Raikage vanished from his spot, activating his Lightning Release Armor to stimulate his cells while simultaneously using the Body Flicker Technique. This was the Fourth Raikage's maximum speed, a speed at which even Killer B couldn't keep up.
Similarly, no opponent can keep up with such speed.
As an opponent, Naoki Senju also lost his position as the Fourth Raikage. To make matters worse, Killer B somehow found his Ninja Blade again.
" The Acrobat."
Killer B clamped eight Ninja Blade in all sorts of strange positions—bend his left knee, elbow, mouth, shoulder, armpit—and assumed a pose clearly unsuitable for combat.
But it was precisely this bizarre posture that earned Killer B another title, on par with the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki — Killer Bee!
" Konoha bastards, let me show you the melody of the Kumogakure Killer Bee, yeah!"
Killer B, who controls eight Ninja Blade simultaneously with his body, is not clumsy at all, but surprisingly agile.
The length of Futsunomitama became a hindrance at this moment, as Naoki Senju was overwhelmed by the attacks coming from tricky angles.
The calves, ribs, and even the top of the head—areas rarely attacked in normal combat—have become Killer B's best offensive positions.
Killer Bee Killer B not be the strongest enemy Naoki Senju has ever faced, but he is certainly the most troublesome.
Futsunomitama is only average in terms of hardness and sharpness. Therefore, when it clashed with Killer B's Ninja Blade, it could only produce a burst of sparks, instead of cutting Aunt Snake's ninja Ninja Blade in half like Killer B's Kusanagi Sword.
"Dance, dance like a butterfly!"
The sparks from the clashing swords grew more frequent, and Killer B's attack frequency increased once again. Since mastering the Eight -Eight-Sword Style he learned from the Eight-Tails Gyuki, Naoki Senju was the opponent he could endure the longest in a life-or-death battle, without exception.
Even now, he still hasn't been able to break through the Ninja Blade called Futsunomitama, whose defense is absolutely impenetrable!
But the more this happened, the more Killer B longed to plunge all eight of his bee-sting Ninja Blade into Naoki Senju's body, watching his opponent's life slowly wither away.
That will become the inspiration for his creations!
Killer Bee earned his name through Killer B missions and battles; he craves blood and revels in death!
"Dancing, stabbing, the Eight-Tails strike like bees!"
Suddenly, a tentacle extended from Killer B's back, tightly binding Naoki Senju's right hand and Futsunomitama. In an instant, the eight bee stings clamped around his body simultaneously slipped from his grasp.
This is the final and most powerful Isshiki of Killer B's Eight-Sword Style Isshiki!
But this sure-kill Isshiki, which never fails, missed for the first time...
Naoki Senju gently turned the hilt of his sword, and the sharp blade sliced through the tentacles of the Eight-Tails. The Eight-Tails, which was recovering its injuries and chakra within Killer B Chakra's body, immediately felt an excruciating pain, and the tentacles that were wrapped around Naoki Senju loosened as if it had been electrocuted.
This is not the pain of ordinary battles, but a pain from the depths of the soul. The body of Tailed Beast is made of Chakra, but its true essence is the soul born from the Ten-Tails.
The Ten-Tails ' soul grants the Tailed Beast immortality, and it also prevents the Ten-Tails -Ten-Tails ' soul from ever being fully gathered, leaving only an empty shell of a powerful creature capable of destroying the world.
This is the Sage of Sage of Six Paths ' instruction, and also the mission that the Tailed Beast have borne since their birth!
But now, this mission is no longer secure. The Eight-Tails Gyuki dares not imagine whether the damage to his soul will lead to the resurrection of the Ten-Tails, but the most important thing right now is to get away from this man!
" Killer B, run! Retreat back to Kumogakure right now! Don't hesitate!"
Killer B, who had just thrust all eight of his stingers at Naoki Senju, felt a surge of exhilaration. But then he heard Little Eight's anxious cry. The Eight-Tails wasn't Tailed Beast that feared battle; there was no reason for it to run away halfway through the fight.
But Killer B had no time to chat with the Eight-Tails, much less abandon his brother and run away alone.
" Lightning Release: Liger Bomb!"
A loud shout came from behind Naoki Senju, followed by leaping lightning overhead and a leg slashing down with Raikage.
With Killer B's eight bee stings in front of him and the Fourth Raikage's long-prepared finishing blow behind him, Killer B seemed to see victory right before his eyes, selectively ignoring even the constant urging voice within his body.
"As expected of the A B Combo, they almost suffered a huge loss."
Naoki Senju's words remained as casual and carefree as ever, but neither Killer B nor the Fourth Raikage could ignore Naoki Senju arrogance.
What makes him so confident? If he has any unknown trump cards, what are they?
Fear stems from the unknown; only the unknown can ignite true fear within us.
Naoki Senju stomped his foot heavily, and a tree root wrapped around his ankle. Then, marks that Killer B found somewhat familiar began to appear on Naoki Senju's eyes and cheeks.
Upon sensing that unique Chakra, Killer B suddenly realized that it was the Ninjutsu that Jiraiya had just used, which could greatly enhance his strength.
He immediately sensed something was wrong and hurriedly warned, "Nii-san, watch out for this Konoha Ninja!"
