Chapter 360 Sasuke VS Killer Bee

the next day.

The sun is rising.

Outside Yunyin Village, in a zigzag canyon, at a bend in a high mountain, there is a large circular platform halfway up the mountain.

After traveling all night, Sasuke's team, now without Jugo, bypassed the outer perimeter of Kumogakure and infiltrated this place.

"Xianglin, is this the place?"

Sasuke looked up and saw a staircase connecting the mountaintop and the large platform halfway up the mountain, with a large gate at the end of the staircase.

The gate was tightly closed, and Xianglin closed her eyes.

Within the tightly closed door, terrifying chakra fluctuations emanated from within. Xiang Lin's body trembled slightly, and cold sweat involuntarily seeped from her forehead.

Such a terrifying fluctuation of chakra was something Xiang Lin had never heard of before.

Only a Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast could possess such terrifying chakra.

Karin opened her eyes and nodded to Sasuke, saying, "There are terrifying chakra fluctuations inside; it must be the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki."

"very good."

Sasuke nodded, and the three of them set off to go up the mountain to capture the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

Clang!

Before the three could take a step, the gate on the mountaintop suddenly opened, and a burly man wearing sunglasses and carrying seven long swords walked out.

As they walked, they uttered words that didn't rhyme very well.

"Yo yo... A night of cultivation is over, the air is wonderful, my spirit is refreshed, yo yo check it out... Eh..."

"Yo yo, who are you? Baka yarou, kule yarou!"

Killer Bee made rapping gestures, looking at Sasuke and his two companions on the downwind platform with a puzzled expression. Then he noticed their black uniform with red clouds, which seemed familiar.

"Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, we're here to capture you."

Sasuke spoke frankly, then slowly walked towards the stairs, instructing Suigetsu and Karin not to interfere, as he could handle it alone.

The sky cleared, the rain stopped, and our Erzhuzi felt like he was back to normal.

He actually wanted to take on Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, all by himself.

"As expected of you, Erzhuzi!"

Li Yao's Obito clone had already appeared on a distant mountaintop, quietly watching Sasuke and the others in the distance, and shook his head.

Sasuke is truly a stubborn person who keeps getting beaten up.

"So that's how it is. It was you guys who kidnapped the Teakman and made the mute cry, you idiot."

At the mountaintop, Killer Bee realized who the three were: members of the Akatsuki organization who had captured Yugito. He couldn't let them escape now.

call out!

Killer Bee leaped into the air, tumbling and spinning countless times before traversing the long staircase and landing steadily on the large platform.

Falling from at least fifty meters in the air, Killer Bee left no obvious mark on the ground of the large platform. This level of chakra control was enough to demonstrate his strength.

Thump! Thump! Thump-thump-thump!

Sasuke strode forward, and as he drew closer, his pace quickened.

Killer Bee was slightly surprised by Sasuke's speed; it seemed this kid was quite strong.

But it's only so-so!

Teng!

Sasuke drew his Kusanagi sword, leaped high into the air, and with a half-turn, slashed fiercely at Killer Bee.

However, Killer Bee didn't even bother to dodge this level of attack, and directly raised his foot and accurately kicked Sasuke's wrist where he was holding the sword.

Sasuke reacted quickly. With his attack blocked, he used the downward force to sink his body and head downwards, and kicked out with the momentum, aiming straight for Killer Bee's throat.

Killer Bee lowered his head slightly, using his chin and chest to block Sasuke's kick, when a flash of inspiration struck him.

He immediately reached into his bag and pulled out his rhythm book and pen.

Sasuke thought it was Killer Bee launching an attack, so he quickly jumped back to avoid it. But when he looked up, he saw Killer Bee muttering something to himself while writing something in a small notebook.

Sasuke frowned slightly, not because he felt slighted, but because he sensed that this Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was not so easy to deal with.

This person actually withstood my kick with just his physical body.

The opponent's body is very strong, so punches and kicks are not very effective; only the Kusanagi sword can help.

Sasuke gripped the Kusanagi sword tightly in his hand and thought to himself.

At this point, after writing down the rhythm inspired by his inspiration, Kirabi finally began to take things seriously.

"What position is that?"

Shuiyue was shocked. Could one really fight in that position?

Killer Bee pulled out seven sharp longswords from his body. He held one in his mouth, two in his hands, two between his bent knuckles, and two between his bent knees, for a total of seven swords.

He stood in a strange posture, trying to hold seven knives.

How can we fight under these circumstances?

Shuiyue was puzzled, and so was Sasuke.

But then, Killer Bee showed them how to wield the Seven Knives.

Seven swords flew around Killer Bee.

With his abnormally strong body control and incredible speed, Killer Bee seemed to have seven arms, wielding seven swords to attack Sasuke from all angles.

呲呲呲!

bump!

In just a moment, Sasuke, who had been too arrogant and hadn't activated his Sharingan immediately, was stabbed three times and then kicked in the stomach by Killer Bee.

bump!

Sasuke's body crashed down not far in front of Suigetsu and Karin.

"Sasuke!!!"

Shuiyue and Xianglin were shocked, not expecting Sasuke to be defeated so quickly.

call out!

Killer Bee didn't hesitate and rushed over instantly, ready to finish Sasuke off with a fatal blow.

Clang!

At the critical moment, Mizuki rushed over, raised her Executioner's Blade, and swung it at Killer Bee who was charging at her.

Clang!

The Executioner's Blade that Mizuki was wielding suddenly came to a stop. Killer Bee suddenly flipped over and jumped, wedging a knife into the hole in the Executioner's Blade and fixing it to the ground.

bump!

Without giving Suigetsu any time to react, Killer Bee turned and kicked Suigetsu away, while at the same time a long sword flew from his hand toward Sasuke's head.

In the brief moment of the battle, Karin, who was about to get up while holding Sasuke, had no time to react.

Clang!

Just as the long sword was about to pierce Sasuke's head, at the crucial moment, Sasuke finally stopped being careless and activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, condensing a part of the Susanoo's skeleton to block Killer Bee's long sword.

"Susanoo... the Mangekyou Sharingan!"

"Then try this, you idiot, you cry-yaloo!"

Seeing Sasuke's dark blue skeleton and the Mangekyou Sharingan in his eyes, Killer Bee, who knew something about the Uchiha clan, knew that attacking with taijutsu and simple ninjutsu alone would no longer be effective.

Watching Sasuke lead Karin away, Killer Bee didn't chase after them, but instead activated his Tailed Beast Ultimate Mode.

In an instant.

A colossal creature with the head of a bull and the body of an octopus, the Eight-Tailed Gyūki, appeared below the large platform and slapped down at Sasuke and Karin.

Boom!

The large platform halfway up the mountain collapsed, sending countless rocks flying. Amidst the dust and smoke, Sasuke, holding Karin, was ejected from the skeleton of Susanoo.

But then the Eight-Tails appeared beside them and punched the skeleton formed by Susanoo.

bump!

Boom!

Susanoo crashed down onto the flat ground at the foot of the mountain at an extremely fast speed.

puff!

Sasuke spat out a mouthful of blood, and blood overflowed from his eyes. His Susanoo could no longer hold up. Clearly, the Eight-Tails' punch had been incredibly powerful. Even though the Susanoo had blocked it, the pressure on Sasuke's eyes was still immense.
