"Then Raikage, how long can your arm hold on?", Rengoku's voice came from the flock of crows flying around.
The teasing contained within made the Raikage burn with rage.
For Kumogakure to engage with a Uchiha possessing the Mangekyo Sharingan, that was something that hadn't happened for at least fifty years.
Moreover, the outside world didn't know that Rengoku could use Amaterasu.
Raikage, being caught off guard for a moment, had his right arm burned by Amaterasu.
Even though in this short time he had already launched two attacks, as time passed, even the Raikage's tough arm began to emit a burnt stench.
And Amaterasu was still burning.
Rengoku was clearly stalling for time, which infuriated Raikage even more.
But now he had to deal with his right hand, otherwise, he'd die here.
Raikage made a snap decision. With lightning chakra gathered in his left hand, he directly chopped off his burning right arm at the upper arm.
And the moment his right arm was severed, his left hand clamped tightly over the wound.
Arms contain many blood vessels, so even though Raikage clutched the wound, blood still flowed out.
Just as Rengoku reverted to his own form midair, a Tailed Beast Ball shot at him.
BOOM!
A loud explosion rang out.
Although Rengoku activated Susanoo, he was still blasted away.
"Big Bro!", At this moment, Killer Bee, who had just fired that Tailed Beast Ball, rushed to Raikage's side.
Seeing that Raikage had lost an arm in such a short time, he was both shocked and furious.
"Bee! Stop the bleeding!"
Killer Bee didn't have time to rap. He opened his mouth and sprayed a blob of black ink onto Raikage's arm.
Then he tore a ribbon tied to his thigh to use as a bandage and wrapped it around quickly.
Raikage's bleeding was quickly stopped.
"Bee! Watch out!"
Killer Bee didn't have time to respond before being shoved away by Raikage.
BOOM!
The spot they had just been standing in was now blasted into a deep crater by Rengoku's Yasaka Magatama.
Rengoku, cloaked in black Susanoo, appeared in their field of vision.
Not only did he not run away, he was going to face both of them at once.
"Don't let Rengoku escape!"
"His gaze can produce fire, it could be the legendary Amaterasu, be extremely careful!"
As Raikage quickly explained Rengoku's Amaterasu to Killer Bee—
"Heh, Raikage, it's fine to be unwilling to admit defeat, but too bad you didn't realize who is the hunter, and who is the prey!"
The Yasaka Magatama blasted the severed right arm of Raikage into pieces.
It landed not far from Rengoku. As Rengoku swept a glance at the severed hand, the Amaterasu flame on it instantly extinguished.
Rengoku picked up the severed arm, "Tsk tsk, what a thick arm. Too bad it's now my trophy."
Although the arm had been half-burned by Amaterasu, there were three metal rings on it. Now the rings had been burned off.
The forearm was mostly intact, while only the shoulder portion was reduced to bone.
Rengoku directly sealed it into a storage scroll.
At this time, Raikage had already briefed Killer Bee, and Killer Bee had begun a partial Tailed Beast transformation.
Tailed Beast chakra now covered a large part of his body.
The two leapt forward, rapidly zigzagging left and right, charging toward Rengoku from both sides.
Rengoku, with Susanoo, jumped high into the air and formed seals. His chest swelled powerfully.
"Fire Style, Great Fire Annihilation!"
BOOM!
Massive flames struck the ground, turning the entire battlefield into a sea of fire.
Rengoku's Susanoo swung its arm, manifesting a black-glowing sword.
Rengoku himself locked onto a path through the flames.
"Amaterasu!"
Rengoku cast Amaterasu toward the figure running through the firepath.
But he didn't hit either of them.
The black flames struck the ground, blending with the yellow fire below.
At this point, Raikage was rapidly approaching Rengoku through his fast movement.
Killer Bee, standing to the side, launched a Tailed Beast Ball at Rengoku's Susanoo.
Rengoku fiercely threw Yasaka Magatama from one hand. The other hand swung out to clash directly with Raikage's whip-like kick.
BOOM!
Yasaka Magatama and the Tailed Beast Ball exploded midair.
Nearby trees and terrain were all blown apart.
Killer Bee then took the opportunity to extend his Eight-Tails chakra cloak into the Amaterasu flames.
That chakra cloak quickly caught fire.
He instantly severed the link to that portion of the chakra cloak, causing the Amaterasu to fall to the ground.
"As expected… this guy, idiot fool!"
When Rengoku had sealed Raikage's severed arm earlier, Killer Bee had noticed the order in which the flames had burned it.
Now that he tested it, the Tailed Beast cloak could indeed block Amaterasu, but the timing had to be quick; otherwise, Amaterasu would still burn through it quickly.
On Rengoku's side, Susanoo clashed head-on with Raikage, causing cracks to appear on Susanoo.
However, Raikage was sent flying.
After rushing a long distance and losing an arm earlier, Raikage's combat power had significantly dropped.
At least, he could no longer break Susanoo with a single strike.
"Big Bro!", Killer Bee called out and exchanged a glance with Raikage.
With years of teamwork, Raikage instantly understood, Killer Bee would act as the main attacker to create an opening.
Raikage's body flashed and began moving rapidly again.
One had to admit, ninja with Susanoo fight completely differently.
As long as Raikage couldn't break Susanoo, Rengoku remained invincible.
Rengoku tracked Raikage's movements with his eyes, but his ranged attacks couldn't land.
He instantly understood, Raikage was trying to find an opening.
Killer Bee, now in partial transformation, had several octopus tentacles sprouting from his body.
He blinked forward and charged at Rengoku at high speed.
Lightning burst from Killer Bee's hand as he threw his swords.
Charged with Lightning Style, the swords gained terrifying sharpness and penetration power.
But they only struck Rengoku's Susanoo, leaving a mark.
That mark was repaired almost instantly.
Then Killer Bee threw all six swords at Susanoo's front. The first five pierced through and created a hole.
The sixth passed through the hole and shot toward Rengoku's chest.
Clang!
Rengoku drew his long blade and deflected the sixth sword, sending it flying.
Susanoo quickly repaired the hole as well.
Susanoo's hand, holding its light sword, then slashed directly at Killer Bee.
Raikage's figure suddenly kicked at Susanoo's arm, causing it to veer off and slash into the ground beside it.
Rengoku glared at Raikage. At that moment, Killer Bee's Tailed Beast cloak rushed in to block Rengoku's vision.
Amaterasu slammed into the Tailed Beast cloak.
Killer Bee rolled up the burning cloak and hurled it away.
Rengoku frowned, 'So fast, they already found a countermeasure to Amaterasu?'
While Amaterasu was being blocked, Killer Bee had transformed into a bull-headed form.
From his mouth, he blasted a beam of yellow light directly at Rengoku.
