Boom!
The clash of Chakra sounded, and Shinji and Guy, who had been testing, retreated first.
Bee, still in his spot, felt the force from his arms and legs during their earlier exchange. His face gradually grew serious. These two Konoha ninjas in front of him were both masters.
"Bee! Retreat!"
The Eight-Tails within Bee told Killer Bee to retreat. As a Tailed Beast, it knew even more clearly that the two people Bee was facing were not simple. Moreover, Bee was currently on their territory.
If they were in the Land of Lightning, Eight-Tails would have told Bee to fight with all his might.
"You idiot~ I probably can't leave even if I wanted to now."
Although Bee seemed unreliable, he clearly understood that from the moment he appeared, these two Konoha ninjas would not let him leave. However, he wasn't so easy to keep.
Thinking this, Bee slowly pulled out his short swords.
"Shinji, how many swords does this guy have?"
Guy had initially looked cautious when he saw Bee pull out a weapon, but as more and more blades appeared, even he was a bit stunned.
"Seven, let's go, Guy-senpai!"
After Shinji finished speaking, he burst forth, charging towards Bee at extreme speed. He didn't have the habit of letting enemies prepare properly.
Yang Release Chakra Armor: Normal Punch!
Whoosh—
Bee, who was just getting his blades ready, felt a blur before his eyes. Shinji instantly disappeared from in front of him.
'Behind, Bee!'
Receiving a warning from Gyuki, Bee bit the last short sword in his mouth and attacked backwards with his blades.
Lariat—
Just as Shinji got close and was about to attack Bee, several short blades struck at him from different angles. Shinji first quickly parried some of them, then kicked Bee's wide-open abdomen.
Since he had to divide his attention to block Bee's short blades, the force of this kick did not cause any damage to Bee.
But... Shinji wasn't alone.
"Primary Lotus!"
Bee, who had been kicked flying, hadn't even had time to react when a voice sounded behind him.
Guy appeared almost instantly behind Bee, who was still in mid-air. The bandages on his arms unraveled, quickly binding Bee, and then, in a spinning motion, he violently slammed Bee into the ground.
Boom!
The ground shattered, unable to withstand the force.
Guy pulled back a few meters to Shinji's side. He looked at the crater with a cautious expression. The feeling of hitting the ground just now was very wrong.
Whoosh—
A highly penetrating object struck. Shinji tilted his head, catching it with his right hand.
A pencil...
A pencil imbued with Lightning Chakra. Just this level of Lightning Release mastery meant this Eight-Tails Jinchuriki in front of him was not simple.
"You idiot—"
"He is not slow compared to me and my big brother, idiot, bastard..."
The smoke and dust had not yet dissipated, but Bee could vaguely be seen still maintaining his throwing posture.
The next moment, Shinji and Guy's expressions became serious.
The smoke and dust, which had been kicked up by the Primary Lotus impact, suddenly dispersed, and Bee's body in the crater glowed with red Chakra.
Hey, hey... You don't need to use Tailed Beast Chakra to fight the two of us, do you?
Shinji reached for his wrists and made a hand sign, releasing the weights on his arms.
Bang!
Guy, seeing Shinji remove his weights, had a solemn expression.
Although he didn't know what was going on with this person's red Chakra, Shinji was being serious. That meant it was definitely not simple.
Taking a deep breath, Guy brought his fist to his abdomen and solemnly shouted, "Eight Inner Gates, Sixth Gate, Gate of View, Open!"
Boom!
Guy's body glowed slightly red, and a massive amount of green Chakra burst forth around him.
After Shinji removed his weights, he smiled when he saw Guy use the Eight Inner Gates.
As he punched his palm, his hands were covered with a layer of dark gray Yang Release Chakra Armor.
"Guy-senpai, be careful. The opponent should be a Jinchuriki from Kumogakure."
"Based on the intelligence and his physique, it's probably the Eight-Tails."
It wasn't that Shinji needed to say this, but rather that Guy didn't know, and if he directly stated that the opponent was the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, it would probably make Bee on the other side suspicious.
"Eight-Tails..."
Hearing this, Guy finally understood why Shinji was so cautious.
He recalled the ominous Chakra that permeated all of Konoha on the day of the Nine-Tails incident.
"Shinji, I'll be the main attacker!" Without hesitation, Guy said.
Shinji glanced at the serious Guy and did not refuse. After all, facing a Jinchuriki, it didn't matter who was the main attacker.
"You idiot!"
As Shinji and Guy prepared, Bee in the crater was finally covered by a layer of red Tailed Beast Chakra cloak. The injuries caused by Guy's Primary Lotus were also healed due to the Tailed Beast Chakra.
However, perhaps due to interference from the Tailed Beast Chakra, Bee seemed much more violent than before. He moved with full aggression towards Shinji and Guy.
Boom!
The ground cracked along his path due to this Chakra.
Lariat!
Bee, already enveloped in the Tailed Beast Chakra cloak, erupted with Lightning Chakra, and rapidly attacked Guy and Shinji.
"Guy-senpai, I'll take this!"
Shinji moved, blocking in front of Guy.
Yang Release Chakra Armor - Hardening!
The dark gray substance, which had originally only covered his arms, spread to cover Shinji's entire body.
He barely managed to block Bee's elbow strike, but this left him feeling very uncomfortable.
If it had simply been Bee's own Lariat, it would have been fine, but now it was augmented with Tailed Beast Chakra. The power increased significantly. Shinji grunted, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his lips.
This guy is simply a monster!
It felt as if he had just been hit head-on by a rapidly approaching heavy tank.
Bee, seeing Shinji directly take such a move from him, was stunned. This physical body was even more terrifying than his and his big brother's.
No, was it because of this strange dark gray substance covering his body?
Before he could think further, a whooshing sounded from his side.
Guy delivered a spinning kick, aiming for Bee's head.
Dynamic Entry!
Bang!
Bee only had time to raise his hand to block, and his entire body flew out like a cannonball.
Seeing Guy's attack succeed, Shinji naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.
Charging forward, he instantly appeared in front of Bee, who had fallen to the ground, and raised his fist, covered in Yang Release Chakra Armor, striking down at Bee.
This blow generated a huge shockwave. The ground split into pieces under this punch, spreading out from the central point between Shinji and Bee.
