Chapter 106: Frozen Eight-Tails
"Little Eight, you're right. This enemy is tricky. We have to go all out."
Killer B nodded and exited the mental space.
His seven swords clashed with Konan's, but instead of continuing the offensive, he used the recoil force to retreat immediately.
Konan wasn't about to let him get away.
She forcefully threw the two ice swords in her hands and simultaneously controlled a large amount of white paper, radiating cold air, to shoot toward him.
Killer B landed back on the ground.
The skin on his body dissolved rapidly, revealing black-red muscle.
Eight tails materialized and crawled along the ground. He had entered Version 2, transforming into a small, black-red Eight-Tails, losing his human form.
Smack! Smack! Smack!
The eight tails behind Killer B instantly elongated, whipping at the incoming attacks in mid-air like iron lashes.
The two ice swords were instantly shattered into powder.
A large amount of white paper was scattered and knocked down.
The eight tails didn't escape unscathed; under the extreme cold, they were covered in a layer of white ice.
But it was quickly melted by the scalding high temperature of the Tailed Beast chakra.
Immediately after, like a red cannonball, he charged toward Konan.
The white paper attacking along the way was knocked down one by one, unable to cause damage.
A layer of white bone grew out of his right elbow; clearly, he was going for a high-speed ramming attack.
His speed was even a notch faster than before.
He crossed over a hundred meters in an instant, arriving right in front of Konan.
His right elbow smashed straight toward her chest.
Hah, bring it on!
In the nick of time.
Under Alex's control, ice spikes suddenly sprouted from Konan's body surface.
A meter long, sharp at the tips, and radiating chilling cold.
Densely packed like a hedgehog, they enveloped her.
"B!" The Eight-Tails only had time to shout a single word.
In the middle of a high-speed charge, Killer B couldn't brake at all.
With a boom, he slammed violently into Konan, who had turned into an ice hedgehog.
Pushing her backward rapidly.
The white bone defense on his right elbow was strong, directly shattering the ice spikes directly in front of him.
He then crashed into a thicker layer of hard ice. After smashing through more than half of it, he couldn't advance another inch.
Konan's entire body was covered by a sphere of ice, blocking Killer B's powerful attack.
However, he wasn't so lucky.
Running himself into the ice spikes meant that aside from the ones on his chest which were shattered by his attack, every other part of his body was pierced.
Blood splattered instantly.
Such injuries would be enough to kill an ordinary person on the spot.
But Killer B was a Jinchuriki with formidable vitality.
These injuries couldn't take his life.
"B!" In the mental space, the Eight-Tails roared: "Leave the rest to me!"
Killer B nodded: "Alright, Little Eight, it's up to you."
Boom!
Outside, the Version 2 Killer B, under the Eight-Tails' control, went directly into full Tailed Beast Mode.
His body expanded rapidly, instantly transforming into the true Tailed Beast form.
Gyuki, the Eight-Tails, officially entered the stage!
Towering nearly a hundred meters high, emitting a terrifying sense of oppression.
As the Tailed Beast second only to the Nine-Tails, its strength was naturally immense.
Just looking at its size was enough to make many ninja lose the courage to fight.
How could human strength oppose such a monster?
"She actually forced out the Eight-Tails..." Dodai looked solemn. "The Akatsuki Organization is truly terrifying; a single person possesses such strength..."
C looked at the massive Eight-Tails with trembling eyes. "Lord Dodai, do you think the Eight-Tails can take down the enemy?"
Dodai opened his mouth, but the words died on his lips.
Tailed Beasts and Jinchuriki were a village's strategic weapons. Who could withstand them?
But recently, the Akatsuki Organization had made frequent moves, successfully capturing seven Tailed Beasts.
The Tailed Beasts, viewed as natural disasters in the eyes of ordinary ninja, seemed like toys in their hands, manipulated at will.
He really couldn't bring himself to say "definitely take her down."
Since when did the combat power of the ninja world inflate so drastically?
How could Tailed Beasts, strategic weapons, seem like anyone could handle them...
On the other side, Darui also saw the towering figure of the Eight-Tails.
His expression changed instantly. "I'll leave this place to you guys. I'm going to support Killer B!"
After speaking, his figure immediately turned into a streak of lightning and vanished, rushing toward the rear mountain.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
On the battlefield, the Eight-Tails' eight thick octopus tentacles whipped the ground with great agility.
Trying to swat the enemy below, who was as tiny as an ant, to death.
Unfortunately, Konan dodged calmly and flew rapidly into the sky.
In an instant.
Together with Alex, she created a majestic, extremely heavy ice mountain.
It was roughly the same size as the Eight-Tails and came crashing down on it.
A sharp hum whistled through the air.
The Eight-Tails opened its giant mouth, purple-black chakra condensing into a large Tailed Beast Ball.
With a whoosh, it fired at the base of the ice mountain.
Boom!
A massive explosion resounded throughout Kumogakure.
A large mushroom cloud rose into the mid-air.
Countless blocks of ice were ejected from it; the ice mountain was blown to pieces.
Konan dodged at high speed in mid-air. Using the smoke and clouds for cover, she flew above the Eight-Tails' head.
Before it could react, she coordinated with Alex to unleash—Ice Release: Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals!
Swish!
In an instant, densely packed ice mirrors floated in mid-air, enveloping the entire Eight-Tails inside.
A massive amount of Ice Release chakra surged in, and all the ice mirrors immediately radiated visible extreme cold inward.
Wherever it covered, it seemed as if the void froze.
Layers of ice began to appear on the Eight-Tails' body surface, thickening at an incredible speed.
White ice also appeared on the ground it stood on, growing upward layer by layer.
Finally forming a colossal block of ice.
Trees, buildings, the entire Eight-Tails, and this whole open ground were all frozen inside.
"B!!"
Dodai stared in horror at the firmly frozen Eight-Tails, anxious beyond belief.
"How can there be an Ice Release of such power!"
To actually freeze the entire Eight-Tails... how massive must the enemy's chakra be to use Ice Release on such a terrifying scale!!
Even from a great distance, the cold air still transmitted over.
Dodai and C shivered from the cold, white frost hanging on their eyebrows.
The surrounding temperature dropped rapidly.
It was as if they had instantly gone from a hot summer to a cold winter.
In mid-air, Konan exhaled a breath of cold air.
Using such a super-large-scale Ice Release was no small burden for her and Alex.
But fortunately, the Eight-Tails was firmly frozen by a thousand meters of ice layers and couldn't escape for the time being.
Darui, who was rushing over, looked up to see the motionless Eight-Tails, his face sinking.
The enemy was trickier and more powerful than he had imagined.
The news should have reached the Raikage, but Cloud Thunder Gorge was still quite a distance from the village. It would take time for him to arrive.
He had to buy time for the Raikage.
Darui sent a signal, ordering the remaining ninja troops to immediately head to the rear mountain.
They had to stall the enemy and wait for the Raikage's arrival!!
"Akatsuki Organization, daring to invade the village... we will make you pay the price!"
Darui's killing intent exploded as he rushed forward with all his might.
On the other side.
Anbu Base, the entrance to the secret research center on the lowest level.
At this moment, many corpses of Cloud Ninja lay around.
Konan's Paper Clone stood in front of the large gate, violently attacking the protective seal on the door.
Crack!
Cracks appeared on the purple light screen. Under the continuous bombardment, it finally dissipated into a rain of light.
The Paper Clone pushed open the gate. With a wave of her hand, she instantly wrapped all the researchers into mummies.
The research center was huge, filled with various instruments.
The Paper Clone also saw a large cannon-shaped object, half-assembled.
She withdrew her gaze and walked quickly past one device after another.
Finally, she found her target in a row of glass jars filled with green solution.
Four sharp, slender black horns were bobbing up and down in one of the glass jars.
There was text below introducing them: [Horns of the Gold and Silver Brothers]
"Found it!"
The Paper Clone was delighted and immediately stepped forward.
However, just then, lightning suddenly flashed in the void ahead.
A majestic figure actually appeared out of thin air!
Brown skin, whole body shrouded in lightning, with copper rings on both arms.
It was the Fourth Raikage!!
