People in Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began with Demon Slayer

Killer Bee and the six members of Akatsuki were locked in a fierce battle.

Yosuke's companion, Yekura, asked in confusion, "Yosuke, didn't you intend to stop the war? If both of Kumogakure's tailed beasts are lost, won't the enraged Kumogakure launch a retaliatory war?"

Yosuke explained, "My current identity is that I am already dead, so it's best to hide in the shadows. It will make things easier for me. Besides, this Eight-Tails Jinchuriki isn't so easy to lose, so I don't have to risk exposing my identity to help him."

"It's really interesting, though. A perfect Jinchūriki, fusing his own power with the power of the Tailed Beast within him, the resulting power is astonishing even to me."

In Yosuke's world, even the Twelve Demon Moons and the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps cannot compare to such high-level combat power.

Even Yosuke, without the immortality granted by this demonic body, would find it hard to say he could easily overpower them. The endless stream of strange secret techniques made Yosuke feel extremely troubled.

However, what Yosuke didn't know was that Gyutaro had already told Asuma and the others that he was still alive.

What really caught Yosuke's attention was a member of the Akatsuki organization named Tobi.

He was wearing a mask too, but his attire was very different from the masked man in the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage. He also seemed a bit frivolous. However, there was still a vague sense of familiarity in my heart.

Suddenly, the battlefield changed.

Killer Bee, now fully transformed into a tailed beast, spat out a large amount of ink from his mouth. This was a sealing technique he used after fully transforming into a tailed beast.

"A hundred million wrathful slaves!"

A large amount of ink transformed into Killer Bee's clones, successfully using a D-shaped taijutsu to control the four Earth Grudge Flies closest to Kakuzu.

Unfortunately, Kakuzu's main body, along with the other Akatsuki members, successfully escaped the range of the ink clone.

Three seconds later, the sealing technique took effect, sealing all four of Kakuzu's Earth Grudge individuals.

Enraged, Kakuzu ripped the black threads from his arm, separating his wrist from his arm, releasing a dense stream of black threads from his arm, which he then shot at Killer Bee.

The black lines bound Killer Bee, who had fully transformed into a tailed beast, to the spot.

Sasori also manipulated Hiruko, using the stinger on his back to stab Killer Bee.

However, Killer Bee struggled, the black thread snapped, and the octopus tentacles were flung at Scorpion.

Sasori's Hiruko was struck by Killer Bee's tentacles and instantly destroyed.

Scorpion's true form was also revealed, and to Yosuke's disbelief, Scorpion's true form was also a modified human puppet. This caused Yosuke's worldview to collapse. It was too outrageous that he could survive without any vital organs.

Yosuke muttered to himself, "If Kanae and the others find out, they'll definitely do everything they can to get their hands on Scorpion for research."

Sasori directly summoned the strongest human puppet, the Third Kazekage.

"Magnetic Release: Iron Sand Rain!"

After Sasori manipulated the Third Kazekage to form the hand seals [Un], he instantly summoned iron sand like ocean waves. The iron sand then formed countless fine needles and shot them rapidly toward Killer Bee.

At this moment, Killer Bee, fully transformed into a tailed beast, was so enormous that he had no way to avoid these tiny needles.

Killer Bee simply withdrew from his full Tailed Beast form and entered a half-Tailed Beast form. His dark red Tailed Beast Chakra cloak formed a hard skeleton, blocking all of Sasori's fine needles.

"Thunderous Plow, Hot Blade!"

Killer Bee gathered Lightning Release chakra throughout his body and charged towards Sasori at top speed.

"Magnetic escape? Sand and iron wall!"

Sasori used the Third Kazekage's iron sand to create a sturdy wall, blocking Killer Bee's path.

Killer Bee's fist punched a large hole in the hard iron sand wall, but it also successfully blocked Killer Bee's charge.

Seeing that his attack had missed, Killer Bee did not stop. He drew a sword, infused it with lightning chakra to increase its sharpness, and then used lightning to generate high-frequency vibration waves, giving it a penetrating power that surpassed that of wind release.

"Supersonic Thunderclap Blade!"

Killer Bee swung his blade and slashed at Chi, who was swimming on the other side.

Zhi was speechless for a moment. He had been slacking off and collecting combat intelligence on the Akatsuki members, but he never expected to be targeted.

"Plain Flow Technique? Destructive Kill? Demon Core Eightfold Core!"

Zhi launched a series of eight consecutive, scattered attacks from all directions at the same point.

Osamu's eight-hit combo successfully struck Killer Bee's vital points, while Killer Bee's blade also successfully sliced ​​open Osamu's arm.

Osamu deliberately distanced himself from Killer Bee, flicked his severed arm, and instantly restored it to its original state.

Killer Bee, whose vital organs were struck by the healing technique, also felt a sharp pain, but fortunately, the Eight-Tails' chakra was constantly repairing his body.

Two are immortal, one is a puppeteer, and the other controls five bizarre masked monsters. There are also two who haven't made a move yet.

Kirabi's expression was quite solemn, and he couldn't help but wonder to himself, "Are these people from a circus?"

While feeling the pressure, Killer Bee also breathed a sigh of relief. These people had no sense of teamwork at all, basically choosing to fight their own battles without any cooperation whatsoever.

Killer Bee drew all his swords, clamped the blades between different parts of his body, and charged into the crowd with unpredictable and rapid swordsmanship, combined with the speed and power amplified by his tailed beast transformation.

Killer Bee spun around like a top, relentlessly attacking.

For the time being, the six members of the Akatsuki organization could only temporarily avoid their sharp edge.

After Sasori escaped Killer Bee's attack range, he manipulated the Third Kazekage to form hand seals once more.

"Magnetic Release: Iron Sand Spinning Top!"

A triangular iron sand cone spun upright in the air, fell to the ground, and moved toward Chirabi at an extremely fast speed.

Killer Bee leaped into the air, a Tailed Beast Ball forming in his mouth, which shot towards the six members of the Akatsuki.

The Tailed Beast Ball exploded violently the moment it touched the ground.

When the smoke cleared, a huge triangular iron sand was seen protecting all the members of the Akatsuki organization.

The Eight-Tailed Gyūki said to Killer Bee, "Bee, this battle is very difficult! If there's really no other way, let's retreat."

Killer Bee shook his head and said, "There's no need to retreat. I believe Azabui has already informed Big Brother. Besides, Yugito is in their hands, and we can't let them destroy Kumogakure!"

The Eight-Tailed Gyūki stopped trying to persuade him: "Alright, Killer Bee, be careful of that masked man. When he fired the Tailed Beast Ball just now, I sensed a power from him that we abhorred."

Killer Bee looked at Tobi, who was constantly thanking Sasori for saving his life, and asked doubtfully, "Is this guy really that strong?"

"They are clearly from the same organization. The two-faced man and the masked man have not made a move, so we don't know how strong they are, but the other four are obviously all Kage-level. Anyone who can act with them must be quite strong."

Killer Bee thought the Eight-Tailed Gyūki was right. After all, birds of a feather flock together, and perhaps this current act was just a disguise by the masked man.

Killer Bee nodded cautiously and said, "I'll be careful."

Chapter 232 Akatsuki's Retreat

To prevent further destruction of Kumogakure, Killer Bee fought and retreated, shifting the battlefield outside the village.

During a lull in the battle, Zetsu whispered to Tobi, "The Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure, A, has already led a team of ninjas into the Land of Lightning. We must deal with the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki as soon as possible!"

Obito, abandoning his previous playful demeanor, said seriously, "I understand."

Obito awakens his Mangekyou Sharingan and stares at Killer Bee.

The powerful eye technique of the Mangekyou Sharingan caught Killer Bee off guard, causing his attack speed to gradually decrease.

"It really was him!" Yosuke, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, saw the shape of Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan and Killer Bee's strange state, and immediately recognized that this masked man was the culprit behind the Nine-Tails' rampage.

Itachi once told Yosuke that the shape of the pupils of every Uchiha clan member who awakens the Mangekyou Sharingan is different. That's why Yosuke can now be certain that the masked man in front of him is the same masked man from the Nine-Tails' rampage.

"Ye Cang, stay here and don't leave. That masked man is the culprit who caused the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha. I have to intervene."

Ye Cang solemnly advised, "Alright, be careful in everything."

Killer Bee, who was bewildered by the genjutsu of the Mangekyou Sharingan, had his chakra disrupted by the Eight-Tails Gyūki within him, breaking the genjutsu.

However, just as Killer Bee broke free from the genjutsu with the help of the Eight-Tails Gyuki, the Eight-Tails Gyuki was also caught in the genjutsu. Killer Bee was horrified to see that the Gyuki's eyes inside him had turned into the shape of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"The Uchiha clan?! Weren't they wiped out by Konoha, with only a dozen or so escaping? Could it be that the Uchiha survivors joined this mysterious organization?!"

The situation left Killer Bee no time to think; Hidan, Sasori, and Kakuzu had already joined forces to launch an attack on him.

Faced with the combined attack of the three, Killer Bee's Gyuki is now under a genjutsu and cannot provide any help. Moreover, the attack is already close at hand, so Killer Bee can only protect his vitals and wait for a gap in the attack to awaken Gyuki.

At the critical moment.

"Breath of the Sun? Type-01? Train!"

Yosuke appeared on the battlefield in an instant, did a somersault, and then unleashed a horizontal arc-shaped slash wreathed in flames at Hidan, Sasori, and Kakuzu.

Faced with the sudden attack, the three could only temporarily avoid its sharp edge and take cover.

Killer Bee took this opportunity to awaken Gyuki, who was being controlled by the Mangekyou Sharingan's genjutsu.

Hidan glared at the uninvited guest, Yosuke, with displeasure: "Tch, reinforcements from Kumogakure?"

Killer Bee looked at Yosuke with a puzzled expression: "Who are you?"

"Those who are just passing by, don't ask any more questions, they're here." After Yosuke gave Killer Bee a brief answer, the Akatsuki members, including Osamu, rushed forward at the same time.

Killer Bee transformed into his Tailed Beast form once again, unleashing a series of Tailed Beast Balls at the six people.

In an instant, explosions rang out and the entire terrain changed.

Amidst the smoke and dust, Yosuke raised an eyebrow at Osamu, who immediately understood Yosuke's meaning.

Zhi actively approached Yang Jie, unleashing the "Plain Flow Technique? Destruction Kill? Annihilation Style!"

Osamu unleashed a devastating punch at Yosuke.

Yosuke also swung his sword at Osamu.

The moment the two touched, Zhi was sent flying backward, coughing up a mouthful of blood to make it look more realistic.

At the same time, the Fourth Raikage, A, who had rushed back from the front lines, finally arrived.

Seeing the devastated scene, the heavily injured and unconscious Yugito, and Killer Bee's disheveled state, Raikage A roared angrily, "You scum, die! Raikage level!"

Raikage A concentrated his Lightning Release in his hand and slashed at the nearest Sasori with a hand chop.

Sasori, controlling the Third Kazekage, was fighting Killer Bee. His true form was exposed to Raikage A's sight. Facing the extremely fast Raikage A, Sasori's right chest was instantly shattered by Raikage A's hand blade.

Fortunately, Sasori's regeneration core was located in his right chest; otherwise, he might have been finished off by Raikage A's attack.

Sasori manipulated the Third Kazekage to return to defense, but the speed at which he manipulated the iron sand was no match for the extremely fast Raikage, A.

At that moment, Hidan wielded his Bloodstained Three-Moon Scythe and charged toward Raikage A.

Raikage A shouted at Killer Bee, "Bee!"

Killer Bee instantly understood Raikage A's meaning.
