After Hozuki Suigetsu made sure Kimimaro was safe, he returned to the battlefield.

As soon as he arrived, he saw Killer Bee fall heavily to the ground.

Time rewinds a little.

"Karin, help me sense his position and predict his next move."

"Although his speed and strength are excellent, if he only attacks in a straight line without changing his approach, he can be defeated. Simple attacks cannot escape these eyes of mine."

"That’s if you can predict it first. Yo~."

Killer Bee burst out of the smoke and approached Sasuke at an extremely fast speed.

Sasuke’s eyes changed shape.

The Mangekyou Sharingan appeared, and he used genjutsu on the charging Killer Bee.

"Genjutsu, my body can’t move."

Killer Bee was pulled into the genjutsu space, his body bound by crow feathers.

Killer Bee, now defenseless, lost his balance and fell to the ground.

This scene was witnessed by Suigetsu, who had just arrived.

"You’re quite capable, Sasuke."

Hozuki Suigetsu now thought about wanting to fight Sasuke when they first met. Fortunately, Satoru-sensei stopped him then.

Sasuke’s current condition was not good. Although his previous injuries were healed, it had consumed a lot of his stamina.

However, Sasuke let his guard down too early. He didn’t see that Killer Bee’s Tailed Beast Cloak had not disappeared while he was caught in the genjutsu.

"Be careful, Sasuke!"

Hearing Karin’s warning, Sasuke turned his head. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

It was too late to dodge. Killer Bee was already in front of Sasuke’s face.

"Raikiri!"

Killer Bee’s full-power attack hit Sasuke’s chest. Sasuke was sent flying backward.

"Bee!"

"My partner’s chakra broke the genjutsu. The Tailed Beast within me is my best partner. Yo~."

Killer Bee broke free from Sasuke’s genjutsu with Gyuki’s chakra.

Killer Bee clearly enjoyed the exhilarating attack.

Jugo caught the heavily injured Sasuke. Karin also came to check Sasuke’s wounds.

"All his internal organs were blown away. What kind of monstrous impact is this?"

"Let me, Jugo."

Karin felt heartbroken seeing the severely injured Sasuke and was about to lift his shirt to heal him.

"Hello, Sasuke is in a really bad state."

Things had developed to this point, and Hatake Satoru could no longer just watch.

If the situation continued like this, although there wouldn’t be any deaths, Sasuke and his group would all be severely injured.

"Karin can’t heal him now. Leave it to me."

Hatake Satoru took Sasuke away under Karin’s reluctant gaze.

Seeing Sasuke being rescued, Killer Bee decided to get serious and keep the rest of them.

"Let me show you my true form. Tailed Beast Transformation. Yo~."

Killer Bee’s skin, covered by his Tailed Beast Cloak, began to burn.

The Tailed Beast Cloak behind him also began to materialize, turning into octopus tentacles. Gyuki officially appeared.

Hozuki Suigetsu broke out in a cold sweat.

"Is this Gyuki? A monster that’s a combination of an ox and an octopus."

"It seems the two of us will have to stop this monster."

Hozuki Mangetsu appeared beside Suigetsu.

"Hey, you two in the back, if you don’t run now, you might get caught in the fight."

Hozuki Mangetsu looked at Karin and Jugo, signaling them to leave first.

He and Suigetsu then leaped onto the sea where Gyuki was.

The next second, the two brothers unleashed their Water Style: Water Body Jutsu together.

A water monster, not smaller than Gyuki, blocked Gyuki’s path.

"As expected, a Water Style ninja. You really have the geographical advantage. Yo~."

Hozuki Mangetsu and his brother rushed forward to grapple with Gyuki. Their sizes seemed roughly similar, but their strength was completely outmatched.

They couldn’t hold on for long and were at a disadvantage.

"I can’t hold on anymore, Suigetsu cover him."

Seeing that he couldn’t hold back any longer, Hozuki Mangetsu commanded Suigetsu to wrap himself around Gyuki.

Killer Bee saw through their intentions.

"How could I let you succeed? Yo~."

Gyuki roared, and black chakra began to gather in his mouth, aiming at the two Hozuki brothers rushing towards him.

Killer Bee intended to use a Tailed Beast Bomb to deal with these two troublesome Water Style ninja.

Karin turned her head towards the direction of the battle.

"This chakra, this is bad. They’re in danger."

Even though Karin was a sensory ninja of her level and had already run a distance away, she still felt a sense of danger.

"Boom."

A Tailed Beast Bomb. In the entire ninja world, there were only a few attacks that could exceed its destructive power.

The area in front of Killer Bee was leveled.

Even with Water Style: Water Body Jutsu, which could negate most attacks.

The two brothers were not doing well after taking the Tailed Beast Bomb.

Hozuki Mangetsu painfully climbed out from underwater.

"This monster is really reckless."

Suigetsu beside him did not have his brother’s skill and couldn’t even recover himself. He was now in a semi-human, semi-water state and had fainted.

If Mangetsu hadn’t come to help, this Tailed Beast Bomb would have probably blasted Suigetsu into ashes.

The scene shifted to Hatake Satoru.

He had moved Sasuke to a distance and, looking at the severely injured and dying Sasuke, joked.

"Didn’t I tell you? Gyuki, known as a perfect Jinchuriki, is unbelievably strong."

"Urgh."

Sasuke could no longer speak. He could only groan when he wanted to retort.

"Alright, alright, I’ll heal you. You can scold me after that."

Hatake Satoru began to heal Sasuke with the Reverse Cursed Technique, leaving the battlefield to Mangetsu for now.

But he knew that even Mangetsu couldn’t hold on for long.

Hozuki Mangetsu was probably the weakest among the current Kage.

Returning to the battlefield.

With Sasuke and the two Hozuki brothers gone, only Karin and Jugo remained.

The loud sound and vibration from the Tailed Beast Bomb also drew the attention of Konoha ninja.

"What’s that commotion over there?"

A young ninja asked a senior beside him.

"Oh no, it’s Lord Bee. Could there have been an unexpected rampage? Come with me to check."

The two immediately went to check the situation.

Killer Bee didn’t believe the Mangetsu brothers could have survived the Tailed Beast Bomb attack. So, he didn’t launch any follow-up attacks and walked directly towards Jugo and Karin.

Jugo and Karin’s speed was insignificant before a Tailed Beast. They were caught up in an instant.

Karin’s chakra was greatly depleted after healing Sasuke, but in this situation, even a full-powered Karin couldn’t help much.

"You go first, I’ll stop him. Before Sasuke returns, we can’t be wiped out."

Jugo had no choice but to let Karin go first and turned to face Gyuki alone.

Jugo’s entire body began to be covered in curse marks. He had no choice but to abandon his consciousness to increase his strength if he wanted to survive.

"Hahahahahaha, I’ll kill you!"

Jugo fell into madness, completely different from before. His strength increased significantly. Using the boost, he attacked Gyuki, who was preparing to kill them, with a speed not inferior to Killer Bee in his Tailed Beast Cloak form.
