Faced with the incoming lightning and wind blades, Gekko Chizan quickly formed hand seals, and a mouthful of mud was instantly spat out.
"Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!"
A wall suddenly rose up, blocking all the attacks.
Seizing the opportunity, Gekko Chizan crossed his hands.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
"Poof!"
Ten clones appeared, simultaneously leaping over the earthen wall and charging toward the enemy.
"Jinlin, are you okay?"
"Tch, damn that light—I'm going to kill them!"
Jinlin shook her head, fury surging in her chest. Without needing Gekko Chizan's command, she had already rushed forward.
Even with her vision obstructed, relying on natural energy and keen sense of smell, she charged directly at the three glowing Kumogakure shinobi.
Seeing this, Gekko Chizan's heart settled slightly. He drew several kunai inscribed with formulas from behind and began hurling them in all directions.
"What's that?"
"Everyone watch out—he's ambushing us! It's the Flying Thunder God Technique!"
Having fought Gekko Chizan and Namikaze Minato several times, Killer B was already familiar with how troublesome the Flying Thunder God Technique was.
"Too late!"
Gekko Chizan had anticipated they'd be on guard against the Flying Thunder God, so from the start he had marked all ten clones with his formula.
The instant the kunai left his hands, he activated the Flying Thunder God Technique.
He appeared behind one of the shinobi.
The Tiger Seal formed in his hands.
"Oh no! Watch out!"
Seeing this hand sign, Killer Bee shivered—it meant trouble. He knew Gekko Chizan's tricks all too well.
But his warning came a moment too late.
This Jonin was locked in close combat with one of the clones, kunai clashing. Even though he reacted in time, Gekko Chizan's speed was just too fast.
"Thousand Years of Death! Spiraling Ascension!"
A terrifying combo—devastating both physically and mentally—struck again.
"Ahhhh!!!"
With a scream, the Jonin was instantly dazed, then sent flying in a spinning 1800-degree spiral before crashing heavily to the ground, completely knocked out.
"One down."
Gekko Chizan withdrew the Tiger Seal, his cold gaze sweeping across everyone present.
"Poof!"
But he wasn't the only one on the offensive—Killer Bee's twin blades struck, shattering a clone.
"You bastard! Dumbass! Big mudfish! I'm your opponent!"
"Take my octopus legs!"
Killer Bee formed a strange hand sign, raising his index fingers, thumbs, and pinkies. In the next second, several massive octopus legs sprouted from his back.
The tentacles wrapped tightly around Jinlin, and the suction cups forcibly held her in place.
"Damn it! Where the hell did these octopus legs come from?!"
Jinlin had just reached the glowing Kumogakure shinobi who'd blinded her moments ago. She was about to swallow him whole.
But the octopus tentacles caught her mid-attack, infuriating her.
No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free from these damned octopus legs.
"Eight-Tails' tails—Jinlin! Defend!"
Before Gekko Chizan even finished shouting, lightning and wind blades slammed into Jinlin.
The Jonin's jutsu were powerful—each strike exploded against Jinlin in a cloud of smoke.
"You bastard! Dumbass! Can't move now, can you?!"
"You're a perfect target!"
Veins bulged on Killer Bee's forehead. He had used everything he had to restrain Jinlin.
"Bee! Hold on!"
An older Jonin quickly unleashed Lightning Style—the bolts converging into long spears, firing one after another at Jinlin.
"Hmph! Chōmei, chakra!"
"I'm teleporting Jinlin out!"
Seeing the attacks intensify, Gekko Chizan's eyes flashed with frustration.
He prepared to activate Flying Thunder God to rescue Jinlin.
Chōmei didn't even speak—chakra surged directly into him.
Before the spears could land, Gekko Chizan placed a hand on Jinlin.
The giant golden python, dozens of meters long, vanished in an instant. A Kumogakure shinobi still casting jutsu suddenly found an enormous beast in front of him.
He didn't even have time to scream—he was instantly flattened into a pulp by Jinlin's sheer weight.
"Aha! Bet you didn't see that coming, you bastards! Trying to control Jinlin?! I'll turn you all into meat paste!"
Teleporting Jinlin was extremely chakra-draining—but with Chōmei's constant supply, Gekko Chizan didn't feel any strain at all.
"You bastard! Dumbass! You can even move something that big?!"
"This is too much!"
Killer Bee's chakra surged, coating his blades in lightning. He withdrew his octopus limbs and charged straight at Gekko Chizan.
"You wanna duel? Not happening!"
"I'm out!"
Flying Thunder God activated—Gekko Chizan vanished, and at the same time teleported Jinlin again.
The massive golden python and Gekko Chizan entered ghost mode.
Chizan dodged attacks, while Jinlin became the ultimate trump card.
This time, Jinlin was prepared. The moment she reappeared, she opened her bloodthirsty jaws wide and, with perfect Flying Thunder God timing, swallowed another Kumogakure shinobi whole.
She laughed with satisfaction.
"Chizan, you're amazing!"
"This is even more fun!"
"Again, again!"
Hearing her excitement, Gekko Chizan grinned too—but when he saw the flashing lightning blades, his smile faded.
"You bastard! Why are you chasing me nonstop?!"
"You think I don't have a blade?!"
"You bastard! Dumbass! Got the guts to duel me fair and square?!"
Killer Bee had no way to deal with Gekko Chizan. Even his brother struggled against the Flying Thunder God Technique—so what could he do?
All he could do was provoke him with words.
But unexpectedly, Gekko Chizan spun around and swung his arm forward.
Behind his sunglasses, Killer Bee saw a long blade—seemingly formed from some unknown energy.
"Clang!"
Their blades clashed—both men's expressions changed.
Gekko Chizan felt a numbness shoot up his arm, while Killer Bee sensed immense force.
"I must be insane! Why the hell did I clash blades with you?!"
"I'm gone!"
He shook out his numbed arm and vanished again.
"Damn it! This can't go on!"
"Everyone, retreat! Don't get tangled with him!"
Killer Bee knew how troublesome the enemy was—especially with the giant golden python.
Unless he used the Eight-Tails' power, he had no chance.
But if the Eight-Tails got involved, things could spiral out of control.
He had no choice but to order a retreat.
But Gekko Chizan had no intention of letting them escape—Jinlin vanished again, reappearing with yet another unfortunate victim swallowed whole.
"Chizan, heads up—the Eight-Tails jinchūriki is not looking good."
"If you push him any further, you might end up fighting the Eight-Tails!"
