"An entertainment company!"
Killer Bee automatically ignored the word "fight," focusing all his attention on the entertainment company. As a rapper, his dream was to hold a grand concert and sell tons of records. Although his concert dream had always been interrupted by his older brother A's flying kicks, the opportunity to sign with a company and finally release a record had arrived.
Thinking of this, a tear slid down Killer Bee's sunglasses, wetting his stubble.
"Finally! I've finally been scouted!" he exclaimed, wiping the bitter tears of joy from his cheek with his arm. Killer Bee then began to demonstrate his singing, dancing, and rapping skills to the "talent scout."
"Yo yo yo, this is Killer Bee's rap, representing the hope of the future! My music is my weapon, you're lucky to have discovered it! I'll bring you soul-stirring encouragement! To me—YEAH↘!"
Killer Bee, halfway through his rap, let out a high-pitched shout.
Suddenly, a gigantic, jet-black skeletal arm appeared around Menma. It grabbed him and lifted him into the air.
"You idiot, put me down right now! Even if you're not satisfied with my rap, isn't it a bit too violent to just attack me?!"
"Hiss—!" Killer Bee hissed. He quickly pulled out a small notebook from his pocket and started writing. "That's a good line! I'll write it down; I can use it later! Killer Bee is a rap genius!"
Menma: "…"
"Fine. I'm a talent scout. Come with me; I'll take you to Akatsuki Entertainment to sign a contract."
Too lazy to fight, Menma's eyes flashed crimson, and an invisible, dark ocular power surged forth. Killer Bee's tense body relaxed, and with a lecherous grin, he leaned back on the skeletal arm, as if he could already see the scene of a successful record release after signing a contract.
"I really don't know if he's pretending to be stupid or if he really is…" Shaking his head, Menma grabbed Killer Bee and walked out.
Underground, Black Zetsu, now in a white Zetsu body, reappeared.
"The Eight-Tails jinchūriki fell for it so easily. Captured successfully. Is he an idiot?" With his strong mental fortitude, he had already forgotten the unpleasantness with Menma and instead frowned at Killer Bee. "Moreover, intelligence stated that the Eight-Tails jinchūriki is also a perfect jinchūriki. But he's completely immersed in genjutsu now. Could the intelligence be wrong?"
It's common knowledge that perfect jinchūriki can communicate and interact with the Tailed Beast within them, allowing the Tailed Beast to help dispel genjutsu. Therefore, ordinary genjutsu has no effect on perfect jinchūriki. Of course, Obito's control of Yagura and the Three-Tails in Hidden Mist was an accident. He took advantage of Yagura being severely injured by Itachi Uchiha's Amaterasu. After Yagura was seriously injured and unconscious, Obito first used his Sharingan to control the Tailed Beast within Yagura, then used his Sharingan to hypnotize the injured and unconscious Yagura outside. It was under these two layers of genjutsu that Yagura, the perfect jinchūriki, fell for it.
"There's no mistake. It's just that the dream is too beautiful, and the protagonist doesn't want to wake up."
The genjutsu Menma cast on Killer Bee made him a wildly popular star singer, rapping and throwing parties. Any man in that situation would definitely not want to wake up. And the reality was exactly as Menma said.
The Eight-Tails was frantically calling out to Killer Bee in his mind.
"Hey, Bee, wake up! I've already dispelled the genjutsu, don't go back in!"
"No, that's not a genjutsu. That's my brilliant life!"
"…"
The Eight-Tails felt exasperated. Seeing that Menma was about to take him out of the Cloud Thunder Canyon, the Eight-Tails could only disrupt Killer Bee's chakra again to wake him up from the genjutsu, pleading with him.
"Killer Bee, we're leaving the Cloud Thunder Canyon. If you keep playing around like this, we're really going to be finished…"
"Damn it, these despicable boys!"
Reluctantly, Killer Bee finally opened his eyes. He was back in this cold and boring reality, without the comfort of his large breasts.
"You bastards! Only I dare to tease you like this!"
Killer Bee, shouting with wide eyes, realized he couldn't break free from Susanoo's grasp, so he instantly activated his Tailed Beast Transformation. Thick octopus-like sucker tentacles visibly surged and grew larger from his lower body. In the blink of an eye, Killer Bee transformed into a bull-headed octopus as large as a nearby mountain! Completely blocking the narrow exit of the canyon.
"YEAH!!! You wet your pants because of the Eight-Tails, you little ants!"
A deafeningly triumphant voice boomed from the enormous mouth of the Eight-Tails.
"Menma, hurry up and finish this. I'll hold off any Hidden cloud ninja who might come."
Seeing the giant Eight-Tails appear, Black Zetsu uttered these words before quickly retreating underground to avoid being caught in the aftershocks of Menma's battle.
"Little ant, don't even think about running! Eight-Tails Horn Strike, Horn Thrust!"
Seeing Black Zetsu flee, Killer Bee, transformed into the Eight-Tails, immediately swung his fist, bringing it down towards Menma to prevent him from escaping as well.
"Run?" Menma stared at the descending fist, an invisible, dark aura instantly enveloping his entire body. "It seems your enormous size has given you immense confidence."
Bang!
The Eight-Tails' descending iron fist was caught in mid-air by a huge, dark hand. It was Menma's Susanoo!
"This terrifying power?! Damn it, who are you?!"
Startled by the Susanoo, Killer Bee quickly slammed down his left fist, which he hadn't managed to catch. Facing the descending left fist, the black Susanoo drew its black sword with its right hand, a flash of black light streaking across the sky.
Whoosh!!!
The black light sliced through the Eight-Tails' still-falling left arm. The next second, a massive arm flew off. Simultaneously, the surrounding canyons and mountains were all cleaved in two by the sword energy emanating from the black light. The massive mountains crashed into the ponds, forming isolated islands and wisps of steam.
"Ah!!! Die!!!"
Killer Bee, in agony, howled and threw his head back, mouth agape. Ink-black chakra rapidly gathered from all directions. In the blink of an eye, a jet-black chakra sphere formed before the Eight-Tails' gaping maw.
"A Tailed Beast Ball, huh? That's something familiar."
Looking at the enormous Tailed Beast Ball, Menma, residing between Susanoo's eyebrows, had six-pointed stars in his eyes.
"Unfortunately, if I can't unleash it, it's useless."
Seize control of the body!
Nagatsu Hiko-no-Mikoto!
