Bee controlled the eight tails, flailing them wildly around his body, while he constantly spat out Tailed Beast Balls.
However, those Shadow Clones were simply too fast.
Onlookers in the distance only saw ten rays of light circling rapidly around the massive body of Eight-Tails.
Eight-Tails was like a giant beast surrounded by a pack of wolves, possessing the power to crush everything but being suppressed by speed.
"Bee, these Shadow Clones are too fast. If we keep dragging this out, our Chakra will be drained dry. Use that move." Gyūki's voice echoed in Bee's mind, its tone grave.
"You idiots, bastards!" Bee cursed, then suddenly ceased all attacks.
The Shadow Clones simultaneously sensed that something was wrong.
Eight-Tails's tails quickly curled inward, wrapping tightly around its body layer by layer to form a giant sphere.
Tailed Beast Eight Twists!
The next moment, the sphere began to spin, transforming into a violent whirlwind in the blink of an eye.
A terrifying suction force swept out in all directions with Eight-Tails as the center. The ground was torn up and rocks spun and collided in the whirlwind, then were ground into powder.
The Shadow Clones immediately tried to escape the coverage of this whirlwind, but the suction force of the whirlwind was simply too strong. The few closest Shadow Clones were a split second too slow and were sucked into the whirlwind. The moment they touched the edge of the whirlwind, they were shredded to pieces, turning into puffs of white smoke and dissipating in mid-air.
This is the fatal flaw of the Shadow Clone. No matter how strong the Clone is, as long as the damage it sustains exceeds a certain limit, it will dissipate instantly.
Soon, everything within a five-kilometer radius was destroyed by this whirlwind.
The whirlwind slowly ceased and the massive body of Eight-Tails reappeared on the field.
Bee panted heavily.
This move had cost him quite a bit, but the results were quite good—several Shadow Clones had been wiped out.
"We took out quite a few, fool, ya fool!" Bee raised his voice.
"Bee, don't let your guard down. The main body of that Konoha Ninja hasn't been dealt with yet, the battle is far from over." Gyūki reminded him.
Just then, a flying thunder god kunai appeared at Eight-Tails' feet.
"What is this?"
Bee and Eight-Tails were both stunned. Before they could react, a spatial fluctuation erupted and Naruto appeared. He bent down to pick up the flying thunder god kunai, then raised his head, flashing a smile at Eight-Tails, which was just inches away.
"You've got quite a bit of spirit. Here is a reward."
His figure vanished from the spot, leaving a black circular wheel hovering before Eight-Tails. The wheel was only two meters wide and pitch black, with a ring of black light circling its edge, rotating silently.
The moment Bee sensed something was wrong and tried to retreat, the black wheel suddenly expanded, swallowing the entire Eight-Tails along with the ground beneath it.
Bee felt his massive body being gripped tightly by countless invisible hands, dragging him toward the center of the black sphere.
"Bee, run!" Eight-Tails roared frantically.
"What kind of technique is this, fool, ya fool!"
Bee struggled to escape, his four legs clawing frantically at the ground, and his eight tentacles stretching back desperately in an attempt to grab the distant ground.
But he had underestimated this gravitational force. His body was dragged bit by bit toward the center of the black wheel.
After the black wheel sucked its target into the center, it suddenly expanded to its limit.
Boom!
The white light generated by the explosion engulfed the entire battlefield. Even the midday sun was overshadowed at this moment, and everyone watching was forced to close their eyes due to the intense glare.
When the light of the explosion faded, Naruto appeared high in the sky, looking down at the ground below.
In the center of the explosion, Eight-Tails' massive body was half-kneeling on the ground. Its entire body was covered with countless wounds. The deepest one ran diagonally from its left shoulder to its right abdomen.
The most miserable part was its tails, four of them had been severed, scattered across the surrounding scorched earth.
Naruto looked at Eight-Tails' wretched state, gaining a clear understanding of the destruction mechanism of Black Hole: Rasenshuriken.
After being enhanced by Amenotokotachi, Rasenshuriken draws enemies into its center, then performs omnidirectional cutting with wind blades, and finally causes secondary damage through an explosion.
'In other words, if I swapped it for a Lightning Release one, it would draw the enemy into the center, use Lightning Release for high-density electrical bombardment, and then cause secondary damage through expansion and explosion.' Naruto thought to himself.
Just then, Eight-Tails raised its head. "Fool... ya fool..."
Naruto raised his right hand. Several Adamantine Sealing Chains extended from his palm, swiftly wrapping around Eight-Tails and locking Eight-Tails' remaining Chakra in place.
Gyūki said, "This is the Uzumaki clan's Fuinjutsu, Adamantine Sealing Chains. Bee, once we are completely suppressed by this thing, even our last bit of Chakra will be locked away. He is currently casting the Fuinjutsu, this is our last chance."
Bee gritted his teeth and used his last ounce of strength to control Eight-Tails to open its mouth.
"Konoha fool, ya fool, die!"
Bee used all his strength to launch this final Tailed Beast Ball toward Naruto in mid-air.
Naruto looked at the Tailed Beast Ball shooting toward him, his expression completely calm. "Futile resistance."
Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder!
The Tailed Beast Ball vanished.
A moment later, a blinding light erupted from a mountain peak over ten kilometers away, and immediately after, the entire mountain was razed to the ground amidst the roar of the explosion.
"Damn this space-time Ninjutsu!"
Naruto took the opportunity to tighten the Adamantine Sealing Chains. The golden chains constricted even tighter around Eight-Tails, and completely sealed off the last of Eight-Tails' room to struggle.
Afterward, he reached out and grasped into the void. Countless light particles condensed in his palm, and soon, a massive blade of light took form. He locked onto the root of one of Eight-Tails' still-intact tails and swung the blade of light down.
Pfft!
One of Eight-Tails' tails detached from its body and slammed onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Ugh!" Eight-Tails' body shuddered, letting out a suppressed groan.
Losing a tail was not a fatal injury for it, but the pain of having it severed was very real.
Naruto spread out a blank sealing scroll and performed hand seals.
The severed tail, which was still twitching slightly, was wrapped in layers of runes before finally disappearing into the scroll.
Naruto put the scroll away and then released the Adamantine Sealing Chains.
After losing the restraint of the Fuinjutsu, Eight-Tails' body collapsed onto the ground due to the depletion of its Chakra.
After doing all this, Naruto retrieved the flying thunder god kunai from various locations and vanished from the battlefield.
The next second, his figure appeared in the Konoha prison.
The Anbu on guard immediately saluted upon seeing Naruto arrive.
Naruto nodded, then walked into the cell.
Under the murderous glares of the three, he delivered a hand chop to each of them, knocking all three unconscious, and then carried them out of the cell, one in each hand.
On the border battlefield, with a flash of golden light, Naruto's figure reappeared in the open space.
The Kumo ninjas in the distance, still immersed in the shock of Bee losing the duel, spotted the few extra figures beside Naruto with sharp eyes.
It was none other than the Raikage, along with his two guards, Darui and C.
"It's Raikage-sama!"
"And Darui-sama and C-sama!"
"Damn Konoha, they actually knocked Raikage-sama unconscious!"
"Hey, you lot over there, what are you standing around for? Hurry up and bring the items to trade for your Raikage. I don't have time to waste here with you." Naruto said.
He just wanted to go back quickly now and test his dōjutsu.
"Big brother..." Bee saw A lying at Naruto's feet.
He stood up shakily and released his Tailed Beast Mode. Eight-Tails' body began to shrink rapidly, flowing back into his body.
Bee made a gesture to the Kumo ninjas behind him.
The Kumo ninja responsible for keeping the compensation scroll gritted his teeth and walked toward Naruto with the scroll held in both hands.
When he walked up to Naruto and met his eyes at close range, his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
Naruto reached out his hand expressionlessly.
This Kumo ninja's movements became increasingly stiff. He first glanced at Bee hesitantly, and then slowly handed the scroll forward.
Naruto frowned slightly and reached out to snatch the scroll from his hand.
"You..."
The Kumo ninja was startled and took half a step back.
"You what? Your movements are sluggish and wasting time."
While tearing open the scroll to check its contents, Naruto said to Bee, "Bee, the quality of you Kumo ninjas needs improvement."
