Chapter 93: Third Form Susanoo, Beating the Eight-Tails!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Dull impacts rang out intermittently.

Killer B, his entire body wrapped in a red Tailed Beast chakra cloak, was being knocked around in midair like a punching bag!

Reiji’s figure flashed at incredible speed in every direction, and every time, he landed a punch before Killer B could react!

"Damn it!"

Killer B cursed inwardly.

The strength behind his opponent’s punches was considerably weaker than before.

However, after hearing what Reiji had said earlier, Killer B knew that this wasn’t because his opponent had run out of strength.

Rather, he was afraid that using too much force would kill him outright!

Just like that punch earlier, which had nearly punched straight through his abdomen!

That damn bastard!

What did he think Killer B was?!

"Damn it! Am I dreaming?!"

"In this state, even Lord Raikage has to take Lord B seriously!"

"Lord B actually isn’t a match for that damn Konoha shinobi?!"

The remaining Hidden Cloud shinobi were practically staring their eyes out.

Even their Raikage, in terms of pure strength, was at most stronger than Killer B in his normal state.

Now that Killer B was in Tailed Beast Cloak Mode, his strength was already enough to rival the Raikage!

And yet!

Killer B was now completely unable to fight back and could only passively take a beating?!

Who exactly was this young Konoha shinobi?

A monster?

How could he possess such terrifying strength?!

"Worry about yourselves first!"

After being shocked for a moment, the Konoha shinobi were suddenly filled with confidence!

Their jinchūriki was being held back by Lord Reiji, while only a few dozen Hidden Cloud shinobi remained.

If they still couldn’t easily deal with these people, they might as well go die!

Several enormous octopus tentacles suddenly emerged from behind Killer B and directly blocked Reiji’s incoming punch.

"Damn it!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Killer B quickly retreated.

At this moment, Killer B looked utterly miserable.

Even with the protection of the Tailed Beast chakra cloak, his face was swollen and bruised from the beating.

He had practically been beaten beyond recognition!

"Yo, brat! This time, I’m getting serious!"

As he spoke, Killer B’s form underwent a drastic transformation!

Boom!

A tremendous explosion erupted throughout the forest!

A red monster with the head of a bull and the body of an octopus suddenly appeared!

The fully transformed Eight-Tails, Gyūki!

Fwoosh!

Two streams of white smoke blasted from the Eight-Tails’ enormous nostrils.

Killer B had clearly been beaten into a rage and directly activated his complete Tailed Beast transformation!

As a perfect jinchūriki, he could easily transform completely into the Tailed Beast, and he could also use the Eight-Tails’ full power!

"Brat, now it’s my turn!"

The Eight-Tails spoke in human language, glaring menacingly down at Reiji, who looked as tiny as an ant beneath it.

"Whew, Lord B has transformed into the Tailed Beast. He should be able to kill that guy quickly now, right?"

"He actually killed so many of us. Simply killing him would be letting him off too easily!"

"Get ready, Konoha shinobi!"

The Hidden Cloud shinobi all relaxed when they saw the enormous Eight-Tails, Gyūki.

Even if their opponent possessed a mysterious teleportation technique and tremendous strength, there was no way he could possibly be a match for a Tailed Beast.

However.

The Konoha shinobi here weren’t particularly worried.

Instead, they looked at the Hidden Cloud shinobi with mocking expressions.

If this had been before, they might have been worried.

But!

On the night Sarutobi Hiruzen had attempted to exterminate the Uchiha clan, practically everyone in Konoha had witnessed it!

That indestructible golden giant!

Sure enough!

Before long, everyone saw a gigantic, translucent golden giant rise from the ground opposite the Eight-Tails!

The golden humanoid giant was clad in armor, standing majestically as it confronted the Eight-Tails, Gyūki!

"What is that?!"

"It’s actually about as tall as the Eight-Tails! Is this... a ninjutsu?"

"It seems to be a giant formed through the materialization of chakra!"

"You’ve got to be kidding! How could a human possibly do something like this?!"

The Hidden Cloud shinobi stared at the scene before them in utter disbelief.

This kind of thing...

Could it really be accomplished by a shinobi’s ninjutsu?

Boom!

The two colossal beings immediately clashed!

The golden Susanoo giant pulled the long blade from its waist, raised it high into the air, and suddenly brought it down toward the Eight-Tails!

The Eight-Tails immediately used both its hands and the tentacle-like tails behind it to barely block the strike.

"B, be careful! This is the Uchiha clan’s Susanoo!"

"It’s the power once wielded by Uchiha Madara, who was said to stand alongside the First Hokage of Konoha!"

The Eight-Tails, Gyūki, warned Killer B.

"Susanoo... Truly, what terrifying power!"

Killer B’s heart became extremely heavy as he desperately controlled the Eight-Tails’ body.

After barely blocking the opponent’s long blade with both hands, the tentacles behind him exerted force simultaneously and pushed the golden Susanoo giant backward!

"The strength is pretty good."

Reiji nodded slightly, his tone carrying a hint of praise.

"I had an easier way of dealing with you, but this works out perfectly."

"I’ll use you to test the power of the Third Form Susanoo."

Earlier, when Reiji had obtained the Asura bloodline, he had also acquired quite a few derivative abilities.

Among them was a sealing technique belonging specifically to the Uzumaki clan—

Adamantine Sealing Chains!

How powerful were the Adamantine Sealing Chains?

On the night of the Nine-Tails’ attack, even after the Tailed Beast had been extracted from her and she was on the verge of death, Kushina Uzumaki had still been able to use the Adamantine Sealing Chains to bind the Nine-Tails firmly!

And that had been the complete Nine-Tails, not the Nine-Tails that had been split in half by Minato Namikaze.

The difference between the Nine-Tails and the other Tailed Beasts went without saying.

If even the Nine-Tails had been restrained like that by the Adamantine Sealing Chains, then the other Tailed Beasts naturally stood even less of a chance.

However.

If Reiji directly used the Adamantine Sealing Chains to bind the Eight-Tails in one move, it would be too boring.

Reiji had been looking forward to finding a suitable opponent with enough strength to truly let him experience the power of Susanoo.

During the night of the Uchiha clan massacre, Sarutobi Hiruzen had never been able to force Susanoo to reveal its full potential.

Now that he finally had a suitable target, how could he possibly waste the opportunity?

"Bluffing!"

Killer B said disdainfully.

If Reiji truly possessed that kind of power, why hadn’t he used it?

Although he had been slightly disadvantaged in the earlier contest of strength, Killer B wasn’t too worried.

After all, his opponent was still a shinobi.

There was no way a shinobi could defeat a Tailed Beast.

Even if they simply dragged the fight out, he could exhaust his opponent to death.

Moreover, he still had an ultimate move like the Tailed Beast Bomb!

Reiji paid no attention to Killer B’s words and chuckled twice.

"How much could you possibly understand about this shinobi world?"

As he spoke, the golden giant raised its long blade.

Three golden magatama, linked end to end, appeared in each of the golden giant’s palms.

"Come and taste this technique—Yasaka Magatama!"

As he spoke, Susanoo suddenly hurled the golden magatama in both hands!

The golden magatama spun rapidly through the air, tracing beautiful golden arcs as they attacked the Eight-Tails from two different directions!

"Tch, what kind of ninjutsu is this? Who are you trying to look down on?"

Killer B didn’t sense much of a threat and relaxed.

However.

Inside his mental space, the Eight-Tails immediately panicked and roared:

"B, dodge! That thing is dangerous!"

It had been struck by this technique before when it was fighting Uchiha Madara!

However.

It was already too late.

The two Yasaka Magatama attacks trapped the Eight-Tails between them from opposite directions.

The Yasaka Magatama, which looked beautiful and fragile, slammed into the Eight-Tails’ body and suddenly exploded!

Boom!

An area spanning dozens of meters was completely engulfed by the violent explosion.

The fierce blast sent the nearby Konoha and Hidden Cloud shinobi stumbling and tumbling!

"That’s terrifying! Its power is already comparable to a Tailed Beast Bomb, isn’t it?"

"No wonder Lord Reiji told us to stay far away..."

"Could the Eight-Tails have been blown to death?"

The Konoha shinobi barely managed to steady themselves against the violent winds.

Looking at Reiji standing inside the golden giant, they felt as though they were looking at a god!

On the other side, the flattened clearing was covered by enormous clouds of smoke that completely concealed the Eight-Tails.

After a moment.

The battered Eight-Tails emerged.

Killer B barely managed to control the Eight-Tails’ body and opened its enormous mouth.

Massive amounts of chakra gathered into a huge purple-black sphere!

A Tailed Beast Bomb!

"Bastard! Let you have a taste of this as well!"

Killer B roared and directly aimed at the golden Susanoo before releasing the Tailed Beast Bomb!

The enormous purple-black sphere destroyed everything in its path as it shot straight toward Susanoo!

"Perfect. There’s another technique of the Flying Thunder God Technique that I haven’t tried yet."

The corners of Reiji’s mouth curled slightly upward.

He spread both hands in front of himself, and intricate black formulas suddenly appeared in the air!

Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder!

Using the Flying Thunder God Technique to transfer incoming attacks!

The enormous Tailed Beast Bomb slowly entered the Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder formula and disappeared into thin air.

Killer B was completely dumbfounded.

Where had his Tailed Beast Bomb gone?

Such a huge Tailed Beast Bomb—

How had it simply disappeared?

Reiji seemed to understand what he was thinking and smiled.

"Want to know where your Tailed Beast Bomb went?"

"I’ll return it to you!"

As he spoke, the enormous Tailed Beast Bomb suddenly reappeared at the exact location of the Eight-Tails!

Killer B’s mind instantly went blank.
