Tailed Beast Transformation?
Hachibi, aren't you overestimating him?
Killer Bee felt there was no need to do so. Although Bai Mu had displayed formidable strength, he and his big brother were attacking together now.
He asked, how could they not win?
He certainly didn't believe they couldn't win. Even if Bai Mu was strong, could he survive facing the combined assault of himself and his big brother, the Fourth Raikage?
Killer Bee didn't believe it.
Eight-Tails: "..."
Why don't you listen to me?
Do you really think the opponent is trash?
Honestly, listening to me is very necessary. You must take this seriously and not give this guy a chance. We can win with Tailed Beast Transformation. That guy is too ominous.
But to persuade him?
It's no use. He'll only go into Tailed Beast Transformation once the battle starts and he realizes he can't win. So, Eight-Tails isn't in a hurry right now.
Although there would be risks, it wouldn't be to the point of being directly killed, right?
Eight-Tails didn't think so. He still had life-saving skills; he wouldn't be instantly defeated. Moreover, he was a Tailed Beast, second only to the Nine-Tailed.
Even if the Mangekyo Sharingan restrained Tailed Beasts, I, Eight-Tails, wouldn't be so easily defeated... Confidence, he certainly didn't lack.
But what about reality?
It was a bit harsh.
While Eight-Tails was pondering, Killer Bee and the Fourth Raikage outside had already begun their attack.
The two were indeed incredibly synchronized. Without a word, they swiftly charged forward, clearly intending to unleash their combined technique with absolute speed.
That is, Lariat!
The Fourth Raikage, boosted by his Lightning Release Chakra, transformed into a blue lightning bolt, with lightning flashing and thunder erupting. Killer Bee, under his Tailed Beast Cloak, charged at full speed.
In this situation, both charged towards the enemy at extreme speed, simultaneously using Lariat.
With this combined attack, any enemy would be decapitated.
But the question was, who were they facing now?
Bai Mu smiled faintly at the sight. A layer of flames surged onto Susanoo's arm, then burned even brighter, with the high-temperature flames rushing towards its palm.
In an instant, a massive fireball formed and was then hurled out by the arm, targeting the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee.
At ultra-high temperatures, the power of this fireball was extraordinary.
Both the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee felt the threat within it. The two had no choice but to change their distance, opting to avoid this ultra-high-temperature fireball.
However, the moment they dodged, the fireball instantly exploded. The shockwave immediately engulfed the two, completely igniting the area. The high-temperature flames were enough to melt everything.
But the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee still charged out of the sea of fire. Their speed was indeed remarkable, especially the Fourth Raikage's ultra-high-speed advance. In his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, he truly maximized his speed.
Although Killer Bee was somewhat inferior, under the Tailed Beast Cloak, he avoided most of the damage, so they currently avoided this attack.
But was it a good thing?
Of course, it wasn't a good thing.
Because the attack had been temporarily halted.
Whether they admitted it or not, this attack could be said to have returned without success; their combined technique could not be fully utilized.
Even if they could hit the target now, with the sturdy defense of Susanoo's shell, it would definitely be ineffective. So, both the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee chose to stop.
"Bee, no more hesitation. Go Tailed Beast Transformation, but don't go Full Tailed Beast Transformation. Use Tailed Beast Ball to support me and create an opportunity for a decisive blow."
The Fourth Raikage changed his strategy, knowing that getting close to the target wouldn't be easy. So, he needed Killer Bee to enter Tailed Beast Transformation for long-range support.
Of course, Full Tailed Beast Transformation was not allowed, but Partial Tailed Beast Transformation was. That way, he could use Tailed Beast Ball for support, and as long as there was an opportunity, his speed would be a killing blow.
Killer Bee didn't hesitate for a moment, instantly entering Partial Tailed Beast Transformation. The dark red Chakra Cloak brought even greater defensive power, but most importantly, it enabled the firing of Tailed Beast Balls.
"Big brother, I'll fire the Tailed Beast Ball immediately, watch out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, just as Killer Bee was about to fire the Tailed Beast Ball, he had a premonition of danger approaching.
Bai Mu, controlling Susanoo, lightly swung its two arms. Magatama emerged between its palms, and giant Magatama were then thrown over.
In a brief instant, more than ten Magatama appeared above Killer Bee's head. The latter, seeing this, immediately swung the six tails behind him, attempting to block these Magatama.
"Bee, don't force it!"
Within the consciousness space, Eight-Tails warned.
"It's fine, I can handle it." Killer Bee didn't think he couldn't block it, so he insisted on using his six Tailed Beast Chakra tails to block the Magatama attack.
However, the reality was that the moment the tails touched the Magatama, they were instantly shattered. If Eight-Tails hadn't reacted quickly and immediately generated new tails with Chakra and brought them together above, Killer Bee might have been blown away.
"Bee!"
What the Fourth Raikage saw was Killer Bee enveloped in smoke from the Magatama explosion, unable to see the situation over there. He immediately became anxious with concern.
In his rage, he didn't wait for Killer Bee to fire the Tailed Beast Ball. Instead, he once again charged forward at full speed. This time, it was no longer a simple Lightning Release Chakra Mode; instead, he entered his strongest Lightning Release Armor form.
Going all out!
This was his full power state.
The power of Lightning Release was maximized, and his movement speed was enhanced to an unprecedented degree; even the Mangekyo Sharingan couldn't see him.
However, Bai Mu's situation was special; he wasn't affected at all. His Sharingan still saw everything clearly.
Indeed, the speed was very fast.
But he was still seen.
Of course, even if he couldn't be seen, there would be no threat, because the Raikage couldn't break through his defense. Bai Mu had three layers of defense: Susanoo, the Golden Light Divine Incantation, and his own physical body.
Bai Mu's weakest defense was Susanoo, followed by the Golden Light Divine Incantation, and finally his physical body.
The strongest defense, however, was Bai Mu's physical body, a powerful body tempered by the power of origin. This power, originating from the Naruto World, specifically the power of Chakra, was unable to break through it. Even the alien Ōtsutsuki would find it difficult, let alone a mere mortal like the Fourth Raikage, who was simply dreaming and utterly laughable.
Bai Mu using Susanoo was actually giving him a chance.
Lightning Release: Lariat!
Entering his strongest Lightning Release Armor form, the Fourth Raikage chose to go all out. Lightning Release Chakra instantly concentrated in his hand, and the high-intensity current unleashed 100% of its power with this hand chop.
One strike was enough to cut off a Tailed Beast's horn.
Even Eight-Tails' horn was cut off by this, showing its power.
And now, with the enhancement of the strongest Lightning Release Armor, the Fourth Raikage's speed and strength were comprehensively boosted. So, in just an instant, he appeared before Bai Mu.
Then, his right hand, gathering powerful Lightning Release power, was raised high and slashed down towards Bai Mu's Susanoo, directly targeting Bai Mu's head.
He intended to cut off Bai Mu's head inside the Susanoo the moment he shattered it.
Boom!
Susanoo's armor shattered.
Cracks appeared. Seeing this, the Fourth Raikage's heart instantly rejoiced. It worked, indeed. Although the ultimate power of the Uchiha Clan was strong, it wasn't without a price. I don't believe you have that much Chakra to maintain such a colossal entity.
And because he saw hope, the Fourth Raikage naturally wasn't willing to give up, so his Lightning Release Chakra continued to explode, the lightning on his body continued to surge forth, and his hands were infused with even more Lightning Release, as high-intensity currents constantly impacted them.
"Break it for me!"
The Fourth Raikage roared furiously.
He had already concentrated all his strength, maximizing his Lightning Release and pushing his Nintaijutsu (Ninja Body Technique) to its limit, unleashing everything he could.
For the Fourth Raikage, he still couldn't compare to his father, the Third Raikage. If he had his father's powerful physique and could use the Lightning Release Nintaijutsu his father developed—Jigokuzuki Four Fingers Thrust!
Then, for the Fourth Raikage, he wouldn't be caught in such a bitter struggle. It was a pity he couldn't master it, but the Fourth Raikage knew he now had a goal.
If he failed this time, he would definitely have to train diligently upon returning to master stronger Lightning Release Nintaijutsu, otherwise, he, as Raikage, would be a failed Raikage.
However, what the Fourth Raikage wouldn't know was that there wouldn't be another chance.
Bai Mu stood inside the Susanoo, which was already on the verge of collapse, and looked up at the Fourth Raikage, who was fully focused on breaking through Susanoo's defense. He let out a soft sigh and said quietly, "Your performance is truly not bad. Although I didn't exert much effort, the fact that you can make Susanoo show signs of collapse is already quite good."
This was praise!
Praise for an enemy's excellent performance, signifying recognition.
But for the Fourth Raikage, this was undoubtedly an insult. Just a mere brat, daring to speak in such a tone, it was simply arrogant to the extreme.
"Brat, don't think you're so strong. I'll show you right now, I can punch through this tortoise shell!"
In a fit of rage, the Fourth Raikage finally punched through the Susanoo, which was already on the verge of collapse, completely shattering it.
Seeing this, the Fourth Raikage laughed uproariously, "Brat, did you see that?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he sped up again, rushing towards Bai Mu, who had lost the protection of Susanoo, because this was his chance to kill him.
Bai Mu was very strong, there was no denying that.
Whether it was Ninjutsu or Taijutsu, he was outstanding, and as for the Uchiha Clan's strongest Sharingan, its ocular Ninjutsu goes without saying. He already had the Mangekyo Sharingan, so was there any need to question it?
Yet despite this, the Fourth Raikage firmly believed that Bai Mu was now at the end of his rope.
Because a technique like Susanoo consumed a huge amount of Chakra, and Bai Mu was just a brat, no matter how strong he was, how long could his Chakra last?
Furthermore, after using such power as Susanoo, the Uchiha Clan's ultimate power, the so-called ultimate ocular Ninjutsu, his eyes must not be feeling well.
Based on these reasons, the Fourth Raikage believed this was the opportunity, the opportunity to kill Bai Mu.
Facing the fiercely charging Fourth Raikage, Bai Mu still maintained a calm expression, as if indifferent to the fatal blow that was about to come.
The Fourth Raikage didn't care about any of that; the opportunity was at hand, and he couldn't let it slip away.
"Brat, I'll take your head!"
He was determined to succeed!
The Fourth Raikage was absolutely determined to take Bai Mu's head. Lightning gathered in his hand, and he brought it down with full force towards Bai Mu's head.
If it connected, the Fourth Raikage firmly believed that head would be destroyed.
No one can survive under my Lightning Release.
Without the protection of Susanoo… Uchiha Bai Mu, you're dead.
And the Fourth Raikage's answer was a brilliant golden light, not Susanoo, but the Golden Light Divine Incantation, which could be both offensive and defensive, but this time Bai Mu chose to attack.
His speed far surpassed that of the Fourth Raikage.
The latter only felt a blur before his eyes, and then the arm he was swinging down with all his might suddenly lost all sensation, followed by a sharp pain.
What is this… The Fourth Raikage was bewildered and helpless.
What followed was an indescribable agony.
My arm, it's broken, my right arm is directly broken.
The part from my palm to my forearm was directly severed. Was it done by that bastard Uchiha Bai Mu? But how did he do it? I couldn't even see clearly... Incredible!
For the Fourth Raikage, it was unbelievable and unacceptable, but the incident had already occurred. He looked down and saw that it was indeed as he had thought.
His right hand was gone, just the part at the wrist. It wasn't the entire arm that was lost, but this was already an impact, which made the Fourth Raikage a bit annoyed.
But now was not the time for annoyance; the enemy's attacks were relentless. The Fourth Raikage found that he had lost track of Bai Mu and had no idea where he had gone.
Now, he still needed to stop the bleeding first, and then create some distance.
"Brother!"
Killer Bee ran over.
Although he had entered his semi-Tailed Beast transformation, his own consciousness was still present, so he saw the Fourth Raikage lose his right hand, which undoubtedly made Killer Bee furious.
My older brother's hand is gone.
The key is it's his right hand, which has a huge impact.
It could be said to be a devastating blow to the battle.
"Bee, as long as you're fine, this injury of mine is nothing. I still have my left hand." The Fourth Raikage was quite calm, not panicking at all.
Losing one hand didn't mean anything.
The Fourth Raikage believed in his own abilities, and besides, he still had his left hand.
However, at this moment, Killer Bee already had the thought of retreating, because the Fourth Raikage had suffered a severe injury, losing one hand was by no means a minor matter, and the current situation was extremely unfavorable.
On their side, only he and the Fourth Raikage remained. Everyone else had been killed by Princess Tsunade and the two other mysterious women.
They were all users of Ice Release, one with blonde hair, one with blue hair. Their abilities were the same, both Ice Release, but their methods differed.
The blue-haired woman's methods were more cruel, acting extremely viciously towards their Ninja, resulting in terrifying deaths. The blonde woman merely froze them, and the bodies remained intact.
But no matter what, these two women posed a great threat, and furthermore, Princess Tsunade was watching them like a tiger. Plus, they didn't have enough confidence in defeating Bai Mu right now, so for safety's sake, they should retreat.
Therefore, he couldn't help but whisper, "Brother, let's retreat!"
