"Defeat Killer Bee for a One-Punch Man HD video." Tengen murmured, his eyes glinting with intrigue. Both the task and the reward stirred a mix of awe and apprehension.

Defeating Killer Bee was daunting. At sixteen, Bee was an elite jounin, bolstered by his status as the Eight-Tails' perfect Jinchuriki. His power almost rivaled the Raikage's.

With Gyuki's full might at his command, Tengen's current strength, barely enough to challenge an ordinary jounin, made victory seem like a pipe dream. Even without the tailed beast, Bee's raw skill outclassed him.

The reward, a One-Punch Man video, was equally tantalizing. Tengen knew the series, its creatures wielded devastating power, and the main character, Saitama, could obliterate foes with a single punch. No one withstood his serious strikes.

A bizarre awe-inspiring world. But Tengen dismissed hopes of gaining Saitama's power from an HD video, which would be too much luck.

Saitama, after all, could leap from the moon to Earth.

"Great reward, but unattainable." Tengen sighed. Beating Bee felt impossible.

Even if he reached jounin-level, without extraordinary abilities, countering a tailed beast-transformed Bee was a long shot.

As Tengen considered abandoning the mission, a thought struck him. "Wait."

"I've got another HD video." He said, his gaze sharpening. "Could it help?"

He checked the system's video.

"Naruto." Tengen noted. Another Naruto video, common in this world, is likely due to its connection. Other videos, like Pikachu, T-Rex, or Red Bull, appeared too, but Naruto ones were frequent.

"Let's see if it's useful." Tengen's initiating extraction.

A valuable item might push him to tackle Bee for the One-Punch Man video. If it was lackluster, he'd rejoin Orochimaru; lingering here would be pointless.

[Ding! Obtained Eight Gates!]

Tengen froze, then erupted in joy. Among power-ups, Mangekyo Sharingan or Rinnegan were elite, but the Eight Gates were terrifying. At its peak, the Eighth Gate could cripple Six Paths Madara.

Might Guy, at the Seventh Gate, had nearly incapacitated Kisame.

But the catch was that opening the Eighth Gate was fatal, the body unable to withstand its power.

But Tengen grinned. He had two Senzu Beans, capable of healing any injury, including the Eighth Gate's toll. In Dragon Ball, a Senzu Bean restored anyone with a breath left, a miracle cure.

"Absorb it." 

Knowledge of the Eight Gates flooded his mind, mastery, taijutsu, everything, as if he'd trained for years.

Moments later, he fully grasped the technique.

"Now I can take on this mission." Tengen exhales deeply. "Killer Bee, I'm coming."

He opened the system, spotting a moving blip, Bee's marker, visible since the mission activated.

If he delayed too long, the marker and mission would vanish.

"Here we go." Tengen floated upward with the Flight, rocketing toward Bee's direction.

...

Elsewhere, Anko's face paled as Orochimaru returned alone. "Sensei, where's Tengen?"

"No worries. He's handling personal matters and will catch up later." Orochimaru explains his solitary return.

"What's he doing?" Anko asked, puzzled.

"Enough, Anko. Jurin, let's move. Tengen will find us." Orochimaru said.

"Yes." Anko and Jurin replied, following him toward Konoha.

...

Meanwhile, after encountering Orochimaru, Killer Bee led his team toward the Land of Wind.

Soon, they'd cross the Land of Fire into the Land of Rivers, then enter Wind territory.

"Orochimaru." Bee mused, wondering who'd win in a fight.

"Hm?" His eyes narrowed, locking onto a figure soaring through the sky.

"A flying ninjutsu." Bee tensing. Aerial foes were tricky. But as the figure drew closer, he froze.

He'd seen this kid before.

The brat with Orochimaru.
