In an instant, a panther, shimmering with dazzling lightning, instantly formed and pounced towards Sasuke.
The three tomoe in Sasuke's eyes spun wildly, and he channeled all his Lightning Chakra into his right hand.
Chidori!
The blue Chidori and the black panther collided fiercely on the icy snow.
A violent energy shockwave instantly exploded, and blinding light consumed everything, sending countless small gravel and ice shards flying in all directions.
Right at the center of this destructive light, Sasuke's figure was violently thrown back by the immense impact. The Kusanagi Sword nearly slipped from his grasp.
Darui's figure was also forced back several steps, but he was clearly in much better condition than Sasuke.
Darui waved at him. "Continue."
Omoi and Karui slowly approached Sasuke from behind.
"Tsk."
Sasuke sneered, "Is that all you've got?"
On the other side, the battle between Naruto and Yugito was even more intense.
Leaf Whirlwind!
Dynamic Entry!
Shadow Clone Jutsu!
Uzumaki Naruto Combo!
Naruto roared, the Golden Beast of Konoha howling. Chakra enveloped his fists as he furiously pummeled Yugito.
Yugito, who was being pushed back, dropped her playful expression. She couldn't afford to toy with him any longer.
Blue Chakra appeared on Yugito's body, her hair stood up, and her eyes turned white. Her abilities in all aspects were greatly enhanced.
Tailed Beast Chakra continuously healed Yugito's wounds, making her combat ability extremely great.
"Nine-Tails brat, you're still too green."
Yugito dodged a powerful uppercut from Naruto and retaliated with a claw strike to Naruto's chest.
Bang!
Naruto was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into a mountain of thick wooden crates behind him.
"Hiss, that hurts."
Naruto struggled to get up from the rubble, his chest burning. He wiped away the blood overflowing from the corner of his lips.
In this moment of distress, the corner of his eye caught sight of Sasuke being ganged up on by Kumogakure ninjas not far away.
Besides the three of them, there were even more elite ninjas. They launched a relentless relay attack on Sasuke.
Thump... Thump...
One slash after another.
Blood stained Sasuke's jacket, slowly dripping onto the ground.
"Cough, cough..."
Sasuke leaned against a wall.
Damn it, these guys are troublesome.
...
In an instant, a furious rage, originating from the depths of his soul, erupted within Naruto's heart.
"You bastards, how dare you hurt Sasuke!"
A roar exploded, and the sealed cage trembled violently.
Scarlet Chakra furiously burst forth from every pore of Naruto's body, his skin covered by an eerie dark red Chakra cloak.
The human features on his face rapidly faded, his azure pupils transforming into beast-like crimson vertical slits. His mouth stretched open, revealing sharp, stark white fangs.
The scarlet Chakra furiously condensed behind him, one tail, two tails, three tails, four tails...
"Wh-what!"
Yugito's expression instantly froze. She could clearly feel that the terrifying entity within the blond boy opposite her, had awakened.
Two-Tails within her let out an uneasy growl.
"Roar!"
The berserk Naruto, with a world-shattering aura, tore through the air, stirring up a violent hurricane, and slammed his hand down on Yugito, who was within arm's reach.
Yugito's pupils constricted, no longer daring to hold back in the slightest. She swung her claws, and the pale blue Chakra, imbued with Two Tails's power, met Naruto's attack.
Boom!
The two energies collided, and an energy storm swept through the entire Kumogakure stronghold. The warehouse walls were torn apart like paper, and mountains of supplies instantly turned to dust.
"Roar!"
At the center of the storm, the scarlet Chakra became even more violent.
Behind Naruto, the phantom of a fifth tail flickered into existence.
Yugito was clearly at a disadvantage in the clash of pure power.
The massive fox claw ripped through the pale blue flames, seemingly about to crush her completely.
Whoosh!
Several octopus tentacles quickly shot out from the smoke to the side. They precisely wrapped around Yugito's Tailed Beast form, pulling her out abruptly.
The massive fox claw grazed the edge of Yugito's afterimage and slammed down, creating a bottomless giant pit in the ground.
"Bee!"
"Yo! Can't let you die here, you fool."
Bee, in his half-Tailed Beast form, appeared in the center of the battlefield, his eight octopus tails instantly growing explosively, whipping through the air and striking Naruto.
Naruto let out an angry roar. He had already lost his reason. He crouched on the ground, beginning to condense terrifying Chakra.
"It's a Tailed Beast Ball!"
"We'll join in too! Tailed Beast Ball!"
Two Chakra spheres, compressed to their limit, collided, and the enormous impact sent Sasuke and the others flying an unknown distance.
After a brief stalemate, Naruto was caught in the aftermath of the Tailed Beast Ball.
Sasuke let out a hysterical roar, "Naruto!"
As the smoke cleared, Naruto's figure appeared in the deep crater. The Chakra on his body slowly receded.
Bee slowly approached Naruto, and then, a thick tentacle wrapped around Naruto's waist like lightning.
A huge force erupted, and using Naruto's momentum, he swung him like a sandbag, violently flinging him down the steep cliff outside the stronghold.
"What a fool, you idiot!"
Bee slowly dispelled his half-Tailed Beast form and looked down at the bottom of the cliff.
It's so deep. If nothing unexpected happens, that kid who can't control Tailed Beast power should fall to his death.
"Naruto!"
Sasuke watched with wide eyes as the figure wrapped in crimson Chakra plunged into the abyss, and an unprecedented fury instantly consumed him.
"I'll kill you!"
The three tomoe Sharingan in Sasuke's eyes spun wildly at an unprecedented speed, and the six-pointed star pattern in his eyes suddenly fixated.
Blood tears streamed from Sasuke's left eye.
Amaterasu!
The black, inextinguishable flames violently ignited on Darui, and he let out agonizing screams.
Sasuke didn't even look at Darui, who was writhing in pain on the ground, and instead raised his Kusanagi Sword, its tip pointing at Bee.
"I'll kill you!"
Sasuke rushed towards Bee, the Kusanagi Sword slashing out with a piercing shriek. However, his burning rage seemed insignificant in the face of absolute power.
Bee's eyes flashed with a sharp glint, and the seven long swords on his back instantly unsheathed, precisely embedding themselves into various joints of his body.
His mouth, armpits, elbows, and knee pits.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Kusanagi Sword clashed wildly with Bee's blade net. But every one of Sasuke's slashes was skillfully parried, while Bee's attacking blades repeatedly left wounds on Sasuke's body.
Sasuke was forced back, stumbling repeatedly, his body already on the verge of its limit.
Bee's eyes flashed with a cold light, and all seven blades struck at once, seemingly about to completely shred the tottering Sasuke.
Clang!
A blade too fast to perceive flashed, deflecting the sharp blades aimed at Sasuke.
Bee's deadly blade net was parried by this divine slash.
"Eh?" Bee's movements paused.
A white figure instantly arrived, shielding Sasuke behind him.
Satoshi drew out his short sword and gestured to Bee. "Come."
Upon hearing this, Bee's expression darkened.
Disrespectful brat!
"I'll slice you up right now!"
As his voice fell, Bee suddenly drew his swords.
He once again assumed his bizarre seven-sword style stance, and the seven swords on his back flew up again, precisely embedding themselves into his body's joints.
Acrobat, reappeared.
The red glow in Satoshi's eyes slowly rotated.
