Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 488 Eyeball Takes a Sweeping Hand

Even more unbelievable is that the Earth Release clone, Rock, which withstood the explosion of the Tailed Beast Ball, showed no sign of weakening in the Eight-Tails' chakra perception.

In other words, the opponent is still at full strength.

Even if they unleashed the Tailed Beast Ball with the maximum chakra output from before, they still couldn't do anything to Earth Release clone - Rock.

"By the way, what should we do?"

Faced with an enemy who remained unscathed even after withstanding the maximum chakra output of a Tailed Beast Ball explosion, the Eight-Tails Gyūki, as a Tailed Beast and a symbol of destruction, was completely stunned and didn't know how to deal with it.

"What should we do?"

"..."

Killer Bee smiled bitterly to himself, staring blankly at the Fourth Tsuchikage in the sky above through the Eight-Tails' eyes. He also wanted to ask the Eight-Tails what he should do at this moment.

What can he do if he survives unscathed from the center of a Tailed Beast Ball explosion?

At this moment, the Fourth Tsuchikage was even more despairing than the Yellow Flash of Konoha that Killer Bee had once encountered.

The yellow flash of the leaf was so fast that a moment's inattention could lead to certain death.

But if he concentrates, he can also take Minato Namikaze down with him, or at least severely injure him.

However, when faced with the Fourth Tsuchikage emerging from the Tailed Beast Ball explosion, Killer Bee felt that even if his sword broke, it wouldn't be able to harm the Fourth Tsuchikage at all.

Faced with an enemy whose defense is invincible, which also means its attack is invincible, Killer Bee is also wondering what he should do.

The village was right behind him; he dared not retreat, nor could he retreat.

"How is it?"

On the other side, the Fourth Raikage, who was rushing towards the center of the explosion, asked a guard with chakra perception.

At that moment, the man sensed the heavy chakra emanating from the Earth Release clone, Shi Yan, and his expression immediately changed.

"He's not dead!"

"That guy isn't dead; he's currently confronting Lord Killer Bee!"

"What?!" The Fourth Raikage was shocked. He never expected that someone could actually emerge from that Tailed Beast Ball explosion, that someone could withstand such a powerful explosion.

When this actually happened, everyone was shocked, including the other two guards.

They understood what it meant to withstand the Tailed Beast Ball.

"Oh no, Bee!" The Fourth Raikage's expression changed; Bee, who was facing the Fourth Tsuchikage alone, was in danger.

shhhhh!

The four immediately changed direction and sped towards the location where the Earth Release clones - Ishii and Killer Bee were facing off.

Earth Release clone - Rock Flying in front of Killer Bee in mid-air, looking down at Killer Bee who had already exited his complete tailed beast form, did not make a move.

A short while later, the Fourth Raikage arrived and quickly stood in front of Killer Bee.

"Big brother..." Killer Bee drew his twin swords and stood to his brother's left.

The three Raikage guards were also ready for battle, staring solemnly at the Earth Release clone above - Ishii.

"This guy..."

Surviving a Tailed Beast Ball is one thing, but surviving one without a scratch is quite another.

The fact that the Earth Release clone, Ishii, was clearly uninjured and in good spirits made even the hot-tempered Fourth Raikage hesitate to attack it first upon arriving at the scene.

"Everyone's here!"

Earth Release Clone - Ishii Ichisho, flew down from the sky and landed on the flat ground crushed by the Tailed Beast Ball explosion.

"Want to give it a try and see if you can beat me?"

Earth Release clone - Ishii looked at the Fourth Raikage and the others, his words light as if he were telling a child, "Maybe you can defeat me if you try again."

The fact that he never considered them as opponents from beginning to end caused the Fourth Raikage to have a mental breakdown.

Tear!

The Fourth Raikage instantly unleashed terrifying Lightning Release chakra, activating his maximum output Lightning Release chakra mode.

"Big brother!"

Kirabi was startled and wanted to remind his older brother not to act impulsively.

"I refuse to believe your eyes and ears can withstand a Tailed Beast Ball!"

The Fourth Raikage raised a finger, unleashing a powerful thrust that shot forward like lightning.

Kirabi was too late to stop it.

"Hehe, let's go then!"

Earth Release Clone - Shi Yan laughed heartily, not dodging at all, and stared wide-eyed as the Fourth Raikage's right index finger, condensing into a single-handed lightning release chakra, thrust towards his wide-eyed eyes.

"Arrogant!!!"

The reaction of the Earth Release clone - Stone Rock enraged the Fourth Raikage even more, and the Lightning Release chakra on his index finger instantly condensed even more, making his thrusting ability even stronger.

He will make the arrogant Earth Release clone, Shi Yan, pay the price.

However... Ding!

A crisp sound, like porcelain colliding with steel, rang out. The expected sensation of an eye being pierced did not come; instead, it felt like a sharp needle hitting an incredibly hard alloy panel.

Before the Fourth Raikage could even show a look of astonishment.

A tearing, intense pain instantly swept through the Fourth Raikage's brain.

Speed ​​is reciprocal, and so is force.

The Fourth Raikage charged forward at lightning speed, his One-Hitsugi technique possessing a powerful thrusting ability capable of piercing through anything.

However, when it is impossible to penetrate everything or even move forward a millimeter, the reaction force brought by speed and power will be multiplied and applied to him.

At that moment, the Fourth Raikage's outstretched index finger was like an ice cream cone slammed into a steel wall, instantly turning into a pool of bloody flesh.

Squeak!

Stab it!

The index finger turned into a pulp as the Fourth Raikage's fist slammed into the left eye of his Earth Release clone, Ishii. It was as if he had hit a solid steel wall. The recoil instantly caused the Fourth Raikage's forearm bone to break, revealing the muscle and skin underneath.

"what……"

"bump!"

Earth Release clone - Shi Yan lightly waved his hand, and the Fourth Raikage was sent flying as if hit by a heavy hammer, coughing up blood as he flew back.

"Big brother!"

"Boss!"

Killer Bee and his three guards only then realized what was happening. Killer Bee instantly rushed forward and hugged his eldest brother.

"Um!!"

The moment Killer Bee hugged his older brother, a terrifying force surged from him, sending him flying backward.

bump bump!

The two bounced on the ground three times like a ball before finally landing.

"Boss!"

"Bi-sama!"

The three guards, who were about to step forward, paused, looked back, and then ran towards the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee.

Earth Release Clone - Strolling along the rocky cliff.

The three guards who arrived first at the Fourth Raikage's side were horrified when they saw their leader's missing index finger and the protruding broken bone in his forearm.

It's obvious what happened from this injury.

The opponent's defense was unbelievably strong; even the Fourth Raikage's strongest thrusting attack, the One-Piercing Hand, was countered and injured like this!

Is this the kind of defense that can withstand a Tailed Beast Ball?

The three guards felt heavy-hearted, and one of them quickly began to treat the Fourth Raikage.

"Get out of the way!"

The Fourth Raikage got up from the ground, pushed away the guard who wanted to use medical ninjutsu, and stared in fear at his Earth Release clone, Ishii, who was walking towards him from a distance.

Others might not understand, but he did.

His single-handed strike did indeed pierce the Fourth Tsuchikage's eyeball.
