Hatake Satoru knew Itachi was alive, so his tone was naturally not that serious.

But Sasuke didn’t know. Seeing Hatake Satoru’s attitude, he was naturally a bit annoyed.

"Don’t always mention Itachi, you’re not worthy."

"I’ll bring my helpers this time, but this is the last time I’ll let you use Itachi as an excuse to stop me."

"How can you say it’s stopping you? This is helping you. With them, you’ll have a complete Hawk team."

Hatake Satoru spread his hands in a helpless gesture.

"If you want to follow, then feel free. Karin, Jugo, let’s go."

Hatake Satoru’s face lit up when he heard this. He let Suigetsu, who was not convinced, follow. As for Kimimaro, he was already walking behind Sasuke.

He had also changed into the Akatsuki’s fire cloud robe. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Mangetsu put it on reluctantly.

"This outfit isn’t ugly, but wearing the same thing as that arrogant guy is really annoying."

Hozuki Suigetsu was really like his brother, clear about what he liked or disliked.

Among the three of Sasuke, Jugo didn’t express any attitude, and Sasuke agreed that he wouldn’t ask about the specifics.

Karin was different. He was very hostile towards this guy with sharp teeth and a bad attitude towards Sasuke.

"Hey, brat, if you get hurt in the fight later, I won’t save you."

"Huh? Who needs you to worry about me? I’m much stronger than you, you know."

They were really two noisy guys, but that was good. With these two to ease the atmosphere, the members of this hastily formed team didn’t seem so awkward.

Hozuki Mangetsu naturally didn’t go, but went with Hatake Satoru to the most suitable place to observe the battle.

Hatake Satoru had been looking forward to it for a long time, so how could he just find a place to watch casually?

As soon as they reached the observation spot, Mangetsu was a little unhappy.

"Teacher Satoru, this is too far. I can’t see anything."

"Oh, I forgot about you."

Hatake Satoru slapped his forehead and chuckled awkwardly.

"Sigh, I’ll find a closer spot for myself."

Hozuki Mangetsu sighed and reluctantly left the observation spot Hatake Satoru had found. He then followed Sasuke and the others, waiting for the battle to begin.

Cloud-Thunder Gorge, located in the Land of Thunder.

At a sentry post near Cloud-Thunder Gorge, Sasuke and his group captured a guard ninja.

Sasuke used his Sharingan ability to interrogate him and find out Gyuki’s exact location.

Killer Bee, who had just finished his Tailed Beast transformation training, walked out of a building at the top of Cloud-Thunder Gorge.

"Is it noon already? The sun is so blinding. Damn it~"

"I’m in a good mood today, I can write great rap rhymes~ Thank you. You idiot, you damn fool."

"I’ve been training since morning, and I’m so hungry. My favorite thing, I love rapping. I’ve decided to eat sukiyaki for lunch, yeah~"

Killer Bee walked out, humming his improvised rap.

His plan might be disrupted. Before lunch, there was a battle waiting for him.

After walking down the stairs, Killer Bee looked up and saw Sasuke and his group.

"Who are you people? Was the guard taken down? Yo~"

"Hmm? This outfit, is it the bastards my brother talked about who capture Tailed Beasts? Yo~ You idiot, you damn fool."

As soon as Killer Bee met Sasuke, he realized their intentions.

"What a noisy guy."

"Are you Gyuki’s Jinchuriki?"

"You should call me Lord Gyuki, you scoundrel~"

Killer Bee was probably the most incompatible person with Sasuke.

"We’re going to capture you."

"I told you to use polite language, it’s ’capture you’! You idiot, you damn fool."

Sasuke didn’t intend to negotiate further. The Gyuki Jinchuriki in front of him didn’t take them seriously.

"Suigetsu, Jugo, go to the right. Kimimaro, go to the left. Karin, follow behind me."

Sasuke no longer gave Gyuki a chance to talk and planned to make a move.

"I won’t listen to your orders."

Hozuki Suigetsu said, charging out with Kubikiribōchō.

Hozuki Suigetsu used the Water Release jutsu to strengthen his arm. The pressure of this attack directly shattered the ground beneath Killer Bee’s feet, raising a cloud of smoke.

"Hey, Suigetsu."

"The Akatsuki’s mission is to capture Tailed Beasts, not kill them."

Jugo rushed to say, fearing Suigetsu would go too far.

His concern was obviously unnecessary. If the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts were this weak, the Akatsuki would have probably collected all nine Tailed Beasts by now.

As the smoke cleared, Killer Bee, without using any weapons or ninjutsu, simply blocked Suigetsu’s attack with his bare hands.

"Ugh."

Hozuki Suigetsu’s sword was completely stuck. This Jinchuriki’s strength was completely beyond his expectations.

Killer Bee threw Suigetsu away and snatched Kubikiribōchō.

"I’m here to observe your energy, you seem quite naive~"

Killer Bee looked at Sasuke and his group through the holes in Kubikiribōchō.

Jugo, clearly unable to take the provocation, rushed forward to attack.

Kimimaro followed behind Jugo, his bone spikes already pulled out and held in his hand.

"My killing intent is my courage, this is very positive.~"

"The knife is spinning, the store is closing yo."

Killer Bee put the sword on his head and spun it until the hilt, deflecting Jugo’s attack.

Then, he used Kubikiribōchō to block the attack from Kimimaro, who had suddenly appeared from behind Jugo.

Jugo was getting carried away, half of his body entering his Curse Mark transformation. He charged at Killer Bee again.

Even Jugo in his half-Curse Mark transformation was not a strong opponent in front of Killer Bee. He was knocked to the ground with a single blow.

Seeing this, Kimimaro quickly blocked the follow-up attacks and dragged Jugo back.

Of course, this was only because Killer Bee wasn’t serious that he let Jugo go.

Karin and Suigetsu were clearly shocked by Killer Bee’s strength.

"He easily dodged even my Kubikiribōchō."

"Jugo was so easily defeated by this unknown guy."

Seeing this, Sasuke stepped forward.

Although he hadn’t expected the Jinchuriki to be this strong before coming, it was within his expectations.

"Everyone, step back. Let me handle this."

Our "show-off king" Sasuke is finally going to make a move.

Killer Bee saw Sasuke preparing to act and didn’t take him seriously either.

Killer Bee’s confidence was not blind. Sasuke was far inferior to other Akatsuki members in strength, and Killer Bee was the opposite.

At this time, he was the strongest among the Jinchuriki.

This crucial piece of information was not mentioned when his location was provided to Sasuke.

Sasuke first heard this information from Hatake Satoru, but he didn’t take it seriously.

It was this blind arrogance in his own strength that led to his several defeats after obtaining the Mangekyo Sharingan.
