Konoha: I have a clone in One Piece.

Chapter 168 Killer Bee in Despair

The three boats looked back.

Suzuki had arrived there at some point and was standing to his right rear, smiling at him.

"I didn't expect you to come."

"I'm so sorry to have shown you such a disheveled state!"

Mifune smiled bitterly.

"Hehe, there's nothing to apologize for."

"Actually, it was just on the way."

Suzuki chuckled softly.

He was indeed going that way.

This time, after coming down from the moon, he didn't fly down directly, but instead tried the teleportation array connecting the Earth and the moon.

The teleportation array established by the Otsutsuki clan is located in the Land of Lightning.

Perhaps, in the past, the Otsutsuki clan had significant connections with the Otsutsuki bloodline descendants within the Land of Lightning.

At that moment, Sasori of the Red Sand flew over immediately.

"grown ups!"

After exchanging a brief greeting with Suzuki, Sasori looked at Mifune and said with a complicated expression:

"Swordsman, thank you! But please don't do that again next time."

"Even if art has to be interrupted, I absolutely refuse to back down!"

"Uh... okay." Mifune nodded somewhat awkwardly.

Suzuki watched the two talking with a smile, then used his Observation Haki to sense A and Killer Bee, who had been smashed into the ground by the lightning pillar.

"what?"

Suzuki raised an eyebrow.

"What's wrong, sir?" Mifune asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing, as expected of a tailed beast jinchūriki."

……

At this time, the depth underground is about two hundred meters.

The future Fourth Raikage, A, lay unconscious at the bottom of the pit, his eyes white, and despite being a master of Lightning Release, his body was covered in electric shocks.

"Big brother!"

Kirabi struggled to climb over.

The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was constantly emitting red Tailed Beast Chakra, which was healing his wounds.

"Damn it, who is it?"

Seeing Ai's charred body, Killer Bee even lost his usual joking mannerisms, his eyes filled with rage.

He was still somewhat shaken by the terrifying lightning bolt he had just witnessed.

Seriously, it almost couldn't even withstand the tailed beast cloak, that's terrifying!

"Hey buddy, are you alright?"

Killer Bee called upon the Eight-Tails within him.

"Ah, yes, I am."

The voice of the Eight-Tails Gyūki rang out, followed by a wary reminder from the tailed beast to its jinchūriki:

"By the way, that pillar of lightning isn't a natural phenomenon; there's a very, very terrifying ninja on it."

"That might be a monster comparable to Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha!"

Having heard about Hashirama Senju's powerful Killer Bee from Ushioni since childhood, he looked at A, whose aura was weak and seemed to be about to die at any moment, and couldn't help but grit his teeth.

"Friend, our brother is dying! We need to find a medical ninja as soon as possible!"

"..." The Eight-Tailed Gyūki was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Alright, I understand, Bi."

Killer Bee felt the continuous flow of chakra and made a firm decision, concentrating almost all of his chakra in one direction.

one meter……

five meters...

Twenty meters...

"Maximum Power: Tailed Beast Ball!"

A massive black chakra sphere, nearly a hundred meters in size, appeared, containing energy so terrifying it was indescribable, far surpassing the combined power of hundreds or thousands of Jonin.

On the ground, Mifune and Sasori felt the ground tremor.

Then they saw an unprecedentedly large Tailed Beast Ball suddenly shoot out from the deep pit ahead.

"Sir, be careful!"

Mifune and Sasori looked horrified and instinctively channeled their chakra into the soles of their feet.

This terrifying Tailed Beast Ball was more than ten times larger than the one that had hit them before. The airflow it generated as it moved forward alone caused a gale of force eight to rise around them.

If this were to explode, the area within a radius of several miles would likely be reduced to dust!

However, compared to the two who were shocked, Suzuki remained calm.

The immense pressure caused the ground to crack, and the gale-force winds whipped his hair and the corners of his clothes.

"Don't panic, it's just a little bigger."

Suzuki remained unmoved, raised his right hand, and then slapped it hard.

bang——

Just as incredible as ants lifting an elephant or ants moving a mountain, the colossal Tailed Beast Ball, nearly a hundred meters in size, was sent flying by Suzuki's direct slap!

"this……"

Mifune and Sasori stared wide-eyed in utter shock, as if they had witnessed a miracle.

Can a Tailed Beast Ball really be swatted away?

It's still this big!

Just as the two were in shock, a figure sped out of the pit and fled at an incredible speed, turning its back to Suzuki and the others.

"Hiss~"

Just then, Killer Bee caught a glimpse of Suzuki slapping away the Tailed Beast Ball and shuddered. He even paused in his escape for a moment before running even faster!

"grown ups?"

Seeing that Killer Bee had already escaped over a thousand meters in a short time, Mifune and Sasori turned their heads to look at Suzuki.

"What an interesting guy."

Suzuki smiled, and then his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

A space for the exchange of consciousness.

Kirabi's voice trembled slightly:

"Hey...partner, is this how Hashirama Senju captured you back then?"

"..." The Eight-Tailed Gyūki clearly didn't want to answer the question.

But after a moment, a voice slowly echoed in Killer Bee's mind: "Pretty much, anyway, it's really twisted!"

"I've given you all my chakra, Bi, good luck!"

"Okay, partner!"

A kilometer away, Suzuki suddenly appeared in front of Killer Bee, who was carrying A and running away, and slapped the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki on the forehead.

Surprisingly, however.

"Bang!"

A wisp of white mist appeared, obscuring Suzuki's figure.

"Now's the time, let's compete!"

"learn!"

Suddenly, another Killer Bee leaped out of the deep pit, frantically running towards the direction of the Cloud Village battlefield with all its might.

But just as he had run less than ten meters...

"Where do you want to go, Mr. Killer Bee?"

Suzuki held a pulsating octopus tentacle in his right hand, looking at the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki in front of him with a smile.

"..."

Kirabi looked dazed, his mind blank.

How is that possible?!

Wasn't that guy just over there?!

Killer Bee stiffly turned his head and looked at the location that was now nearly two kilometers away from him.

Suzuki was nowhere to be seen, but the white mist created when the Eight-Tails clone dissipated was still lingering in the air.

Sometimes, you only feel despair after you've tried your best.

Killer Bee is in despair right now!

That's too strong, too terrifying...

How could there possibly be such a powerful ninja?

He sensed his elder brother Ai's increasingly weak breath on his back, and a pleading look appeared on his face:

"Could you...?"

"cannot!"

Suzuki remained calm and decisively slapped Killer Bee on the forehead, interrupting his plea.

"You two handle these guys. I'm going to check out the battlefield."

Suzuki retracted the tentacles in his hand, glanced at the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki lying on the ground and the future Fourth Raikage, and handed them over to Mifune and Sasori.

"Yes, sir!"
