"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Octopus monster, since you delivered yourself to my door, don't blame me."
"Freeze."
Uchiha Kai smiled. His baby-fat little face still carried that harmless, bashful look.
Only now, in Killer B's sunglasses, that bashfulness was magnified endlessly.
It was like a demon smiling at him.
Combined with that light, drifting voice beside his ear—
In an instant, both he and Gyūki inside him felt every hair stand on end!
"B! Move, move! Hurry up and move, damn it!"
Inside the mental space, the Eight-Tails Gyūki roared madly, urging Killer B on. Its eight tails lashed against the spiritual barrier like pile drivers.
Bang, bang, bang!
But forget moving.
Killer B could barely even blink.
His entire body had been firmly imprisoned by some strange power.
Three feet before Kai—
Freeze!
He could only watch helplessly as Kai's round little hand grabbed his Tailed Beast cloak like he was picking up a chick.
Then lifted him up in one motion!
"Off you go!"
With a flick of his wrist, Kai gave neither Killer B nor the Eight-Tails any chance to react.
He directly took both of them away!
Pop~
A faint remnant of space–time aura appeared again in the air.
Flying Thunder God Technique—
Activated once more!
Pop~
At this moment, ripples spread through space again.
Killer B only felt the world spin around him, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.
One second ago, he had still been on the muddy ground near the outer edge of the Forest of Death.
But the next second, when he opened his eyes again, he had already appeared somewhere else.
"Mm? Where is this?"
He turned his eyes and immediately saw the tall trees around him.
They were lush, green, and extremely fresh. Some of the trees even still had dust from breaking through the soil clinging to their trunks.
"If I remember correctly, this place should have been barren land, right? It should have been blasted into a giant crater by consecutive battles."
"Forget big trees—even the ground should've been scorched black and full of pits."
"But now… why is it all trees? Towering trees?"
Killer B became even more confused.
Although quite a lot of the surrounding trees—or rather, the green turf—had been overturned by the shockwave, it was still completely different from before.
Of course, before he had time to think about anything else, he suddenly felt an icy sensation against his face.
Thud!
His entire body was casually thrown beside Ōtsutsuki Urashiki like garbage.
"Hey, hey, hey. Dead or not?"
Kai stretched out the tip of his foot and kicked the half-dead Urashiki.
"If you're not dead, drain this guy's chakra. You'll be able to recover."
Crack!
The moment Jiraiya heard that, his expression changed drastically. Even the Sage Mode markings that had just appeared on his face were nearly frightened back.
He hurriedly spoke,
"Have you lost your mind? No, wait—this is an Ōtsutsuki! Did you forget how difficult this guy was just now?"
"If you add the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki on top of that, the two of them together might become extremely troublesome!"
No wonder he was so worried.
He had once personally witnessed the tragic scene of the Three-Tails rampaging through Konoha.
Naturally, he knew just how terrifying a truly rampaging Tailed Beast could be.
As for the Ōtsutsuki clan, although he had only seen them mentioned in ancient records before, after the battle just now, it was obvious that their combat power was extremely high!
Even the Rinnegan, the supreme dōjutsu, had not been a match!
"Second Brother… the Ōtsutsuki clan possesses extraordinary strength. They must not be underestimated."
"Even after fighting them many times, they still have hidden cards we can't predict…"
Beside him, future Sasuke's Rinnegan spun rapidly.
His gaze fell on Killer B and then on Urashiki beside him. His only arm also subconsciously pressed down on the Kusanagi Sword.
Of course, he was only reminding Kai.
At the same time, he was preparing to act at any moment.
He understood his second brother's personality. Once his second brother decided on something, very few people could persuade him to turn back.
"It's fine, it's fine."
Listening to their reminders, Kai merely waved his hand with a smiling expression. His small face showed neither dissatisfaction nor impatience.
They were all only worried about him.
He could still tell that much.
But—
Understanding that did not mean he had to listen!
Others might not know, but could he not know?
Whether it was Urashiki or the complete Eight-Tails, he could easily handle them.
"Don't worry. Nothing will happen. He can't escape from here."
He nodded toward future Sasuke, then turned his gaze toward the pile of "mud" on the ground.
The curve of his mouth grew wider and wider.
With a thought, the Infinite Chains wrapped around Urashiki went—
Clatter!
And opened.
"Alright, the ground is pretty cold, isn't it?"
After releasing the chains, Kai casually tossed two pebbles over, striking Urashiki's withered cheeks. His tone was relaxed.
"I remember you Ōtsutsuki can all absorb chakra, right? Come on, drain this tentacle monster."
"Otherwise… a noble Ōtsutsuki like you will really turn into a 'wind-dried chicken specimen.'"
Perhaps it was "Ōtsutsuki clan."
Perhaps it was "wind-dried chicken specimen."
In any case, certain words clearly touched Urashiki on the ground. His third golden Rinnegan, which could barely still rotate, silently moved twice.
Gulp…
Gulp…
First, he looked at Kai.
Then he quickly shifted his eye and stared at Killer B, who was right beside him, so close he was practically within reach, exuding an enticing aura.
A ripple appeared in his eye.
Surprise?
Disbelief?
Then came wild joy and contempt!
This Uchiha brat…
Was he an idiot?!
Not only had he voluntarily released his restraints, but he had even deliberately delivered such a massive chakra source right to his mouth?!
Did he not understand what a fully restored Ōtsutsuki without any worries behind him represented?!
In the end, he was still only a child.
Too self-centered.
Too arrogant.
Urashiki laughed.
From his heart to his body, he was laughing.
"Heh… hehe…"
A thin sound squeezed out of Urashiki's throat, and an excited light appeared in his Rinnegan.
Greed!
Ecstasy!
Hatred!
He did not care what kind of scheme this little brat had.
Who cared about schemes?
Eat first, think later!
As long as he recovered his strength, whether he resisted or escaped, he would have absolute confidence.
Of course, the most important thing was—
He would never let that pitch-black chain bind him again!
As long as he avoided that black chain, Uchiha Kai would no longer be such a major problem for him.
"Hehehe! Foolish insect! Just you wait! Once I recover my strength… I'll make you understand what a truly noble Ōtsutsuki is!"
Urashiki laughed wildly in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to look troubled.
Slowly, he raised his right palm, withered like a chicken claw, and reached toward Killer B beside him.
Chakra absorption!
Buzz.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
In an instant, within one ten-thousandth of a second after he raised his palm, a slightly distorted spatial vortex formed directly in his palm.
At terrifying speed, it erupted with a powerful suction force!
Its target—
Killer B!
