Day Tiger!
Boom! A massive airwave in the shape of a ferocious tiger smashed forward, directly confronting A's Lightning Release: Lariat.
An even match?
No, Guy still lost.
He had forcibly opened the Seventh Gate of the Eight Gates, essentially a desperate move, and his strength was far inferior to A's.
Don't forget, A is about the same age as Minato, while Guy is over a decade younger. Relying solely on the power of the Gate of Wonder of the Eight Gates could not bridge the gap brought by age.
"My youth, blooms!"
Guy was sent flying, his body's blue aura gradually fading. The smile on his lips, mixed with the blood splattered in the air, looked tragically beautiful.
His youth always bloomed at moments like this.
"Guy!!!"
Kakashi turned around sharply, so did Obito, "I'll kill you!"
"Idiots, fools, your opponent is me, the great Killer Bee!"
Bee's peculiar rapping was annoying at this moment, feeling almost like schadenfreude.
Obito turned sharply, his Sharingan spinning wildly, the third tomoe already formed, but just as the three tomoe were about to merge, they encountered an invisible resistance.
"Uchiha, little Obito, truly cursed!" Killer Bee was astonished, but his rapping style didn't fit the current atmosphere at all.
"Go!" Obito charged at Killer Bee, his kunai drawing a trail.
Kakashi didn't argue, reversing his grip on Yukihime, its blade pointing diagonally towards the ground.
Whoosh.
The blade of Yukihime elongated, propelling Kakashi towards where Might Guy was sent flying.
"It seems the excitement isn't enough." Zetsu, hidden nearby gathering intelligence, muttered to himself, "And Obito's progress has already deviated from the timeline Madara set for him, which is troublesome."
After a pause, Zetsu split off a spore clone, "Continue monitoring, I'll go and report the situation to Madara."
Disappearing beneath the earth's surface, Zetsu's main body used the a jutsu to swiftly travel underground towards the mountains where Madara was hiding.
Almost at the same moment.
Kyomu, his body covered in blue electric arcs and hair standing on end, dashed past the Eight-Tails and a mound of earth, coming to a halt beside A with a bang.
Swish, swish, swish.
Dense sword lights filled the sky, like thousands of swords converging, and Kyomu in mid-air seemed to have split open the heavens with a single slash.
Downward slash!
A dense barrage of wind blades enveloped A completely, leaving no blind spots, and above in the sky, a gigantic sword light over a hundred meters long fell in unison.
They swiftly followed, standing together with A in an instant.
Lightning Release: Lariat!
As the one who taught A and Killer Bee this technique, he naturally could coordinate seamlessly with either of them.
Side by side, both clad in Lightning Release Armor, the falling wind blades clinked harmlessly off, causing damage, but not enough to be fatal. The two only suffered numerous minor cuts.
Boom!
Together, they shattered the giant sword light slashed down by Kyomu, and their momentum unabated, they smashed into Kyomu's chest.
They deliberately avoided the most lethal area, the neck, because it was protected by Yoei.
Kyomu was able to react and defend! However, he and A changed their attack strategy.
Boom! Kyomu was thrown back, blood spurting out.
Landing on his feet, before A could rejoice, a blue-purple sword light swept across.
Arms crossed in front, the two simultaneously blocked.
Boom!
The heat wave and the force of the impact made it uncomfortable for them, but with the protection of the Lightning Release Armor, the two were only thrown a few dozen meters back, without serious injury.
But they couldn't let Kyomu catch his breath, the attack from the Eight-Tails, was already on its way.
Boom, boom, boom!
The eight tails, along with the fists, continuously struck around Kyomu, instantly cracking the ground and raising billowing dust.
Wind Release: Great Breakthrough! T
he remaining team members, in a relatively relaxed position, uniformly unleashed Wind Release, aimed precisely at where Kyomu had just been.
They believed that their leader, Kyomu, wouldn't fall so easily!
The next second, a sword blade hundreds of meters in length formed, guided by Yoei and sweeping forward.
The exquisite coordination between Kyomu and his team reemerged!
Meanwhile, having placed Guy in a safe location, Kakashi formed seals with his hands, his face's black mask once again burned away, revealing his handsome features.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!
A giant orange fireball furiously rushed towards the hundred-meter-long blade, instantly merging with it. The semi-transparent blade, composed of wind, ignited flames in an instant.
"I'm not alone!!!"
Kyomu roared, his body's Scorch Release chakra surging wildly. The chakra stored within his body was instantly depleted but was then replenished to its peak due to the scales of the reverse scale armor.
Crack. The arms holding Yoei's hilt were bare, muscles outlined and flickering with sparks of lightning, finally converging into a pale blue electrolytic solution coursing through his veins.
Strength, explosive power, speed, elevated to the limits that Kyomu's body could withstand.
A purple light burst forth suddenly.
Purple Blade Flowing Fireflies!
Surpassing the temperature of the sun's surface, the hundred-meter sword light swept across.
Before the blade reached, the ground cracked, surrounding trees ignited instantly, and as the blade passed, the ground was covered in irregular crystals, organic material carbonized into powder, and inorganic matter bubbled and melted.
Horizontal slash!
Gyūki's eyes showed fear but still shielded A, Killer Bee, and the other elite Cloud ninjas behind it.
Boom! The purple sword light shattered before Gyūki, a massive artificial sun exploding violently, sweeping around in an unstoppable manner.
Steam rose, and the air, scorched, began to distort, giving the surroundings an unreal appearance.
Crackle. Gyūki's body ignited with flames, the extreme heat nearly turning its massive body to char.
Roar!
Pain and severe injuries caused Gyūki's ferocity to surge, but it remained rational before bursting out, its tails sweeping the Cloud ninjas away to a safe distance.
Tailed Beast Bomb!
Opening its mouth wide, Gyūki launched a continuous barrage of Tailed Beast Bombs at Kyomu and his team, intending to obliterate them.
Gyūki's condition was poor, risking reverting to its complete form and retreating back into Killer Bee at any moment.
It was a race against time, hoping to make the Leaf ninjas pay for their actions.
Summoning Jutsu: Triple Rashomon!
The Quadruple Rashomon could no longer be used due to previous damage; repairing it required time. In the short term, only three gates were available.
Clang, clang, clang. Three demonic gates appeared in front of Kyomu and his team, Jiraiya, locked in battle with the Third Raikage, his eyes wide with desperation.
This might not be enough to hold back...
Boom! A massive energy mushroom cloud rose not far away, the approaching shockwave blowing some ninjas on the edge of the battlefield away.
"Lord Kyomu..."
"Believe in Lord Kyomu. Since the war broke out, he has been creating miracles!"
"Trust in Lord Kyomu, he will surely survive!"
"Yes, Lord Kyomu will definitely make it!"
Though the Leaf front-line ninjas spoke with certainty, doubt crept into their hearts.
That was a Tailed Beast Bomb! And with only three demonic gates, even if one could block a Tailed Beast Bomb, what about the rest?
"Lord Kyomu..." Aoda, battered and partially destroyed, its organs and bones visible, spoke weakly.
Aoda's frail voice brought everyone's memories back to the forefront. As the three demonic gates rose, Aoda suddenly appeared, wrapping its body around everyone, including Kyomu, protecting them all.
"Don't speak, don't speak!"
"I won't die, Lord Kyomu..." Aoda shook its massive head, "But for a long time to come, I won't be able to fight alongside you."
"Get lost, hurry back to Ryūchi Cave!" Kyomu shouted with red eyes, and only then did Aoda take one last look before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
"Still alive?!" In their mindscape, Killer Bee and Gyūki communicated, "Can you hold on?"
"I can, but your body..." Gyūki was worried, "I'm afraid later..."
"We must kill Kyomu and all his teammates!" Killer Bee's face twisted with malice, "This time they managed to fight us together; what about the future?
Moreover, they're already at their limit, without any means to defend against the Tailed Beast Bomb."
Gyūki nodded, reality already shaping the Tailed Beast Bomb.
Rumble.
Watching the turbulent storm clouds above, filled with hidden thunder, Aragami Kyomu looked up.
"Can you do it, Kakashi?"
"I might not be enough alone."
"I can help." Kyomu grabbed Kakashi's hand.
"Me too." Obito also reached out, joining their hands.
Smiling at each other, the three raised their hands together, lifting Yukihime high.
Whoosh.
Yukihime's blade suddenly extended, its limit length of fifteen meters piercing the clouds.
Crackle.
Lightning enveloped Kakashi, accompanied by the cacophony of chirping birds.
Earth Release: Earth Flow Rampart! Kyomu formed seals with one hand, a rocky rampart rising, pulling the three even higher.
Closer to the clouds.
Obito looked up, his three tomoe spinning rapidly, his mental energy spreading out with the Sharingan as a medium.
At that moment, Kakashi felt controlling the nature and shape of his Lightning Release chakra become more efficient and easier, thanks to Obito.
The chirping stopped, and a dense, focused Lightning Release chakra emerged, the advanced form of Chidori, Raikiri.
Whoosh.
Chakra surged within Kyomu, passing through his palms to Kakashi and Obito, replenishing their chakra.
Obito exerted more force, and Kakashi followed suit.
The next instant, Yukihime's blade became a pillar of thunder, shining with a dazzling blue light.
Straight into the heavens!
Rumble.
"What's that!" A stared up in shock, "The thunder in the storm clouds... has been drawn out!"
"Stop them!" Realization dawned on Killer Bee, abandoning his rap style in urgency.
Nearby, Jiraiya looked up, his astonishment fleeting.
Similarly, the Third Raikage murmured,
"Summoning thunder from the heavens with human strength, are they mad!
But if successful, Killer Bee might..."
His strikes grew heavier by threefold, but so did Jiraiya's.
Dragging him back then, now he wouldn't let him move forward.
Life or death, it all depended on their own abilities now!
Crack.
A lightning bolt exploded right above Gyūki, blinding and deafening him.
But the Tailed Beast Bomb in his mouth was ready, just a second away from flying towards Kyomu and his team, intending to turn them to dust.
Hurry!
Not just Killer Bee was screaming in their mindscape, but Aragami Kyomu, Kakashi, and Obito as well.
Crack.
Another flash of lightning.
"We did it!" Kakashi and Obito exclaimed in unison.
Kakashi was responsible for drawing the thunder, while Obito used his mental energy to give the heavenly thunder shape, making it more controllable.
And Kyomu, serving as both a massive charger and a shield, kept the uncontrollable natural thunder outside their defenses.
"With thunder, shatter the darkness!" The three shouted, "Descend, Kirin!"
Roar!
The storm clouds suddenly brightened, a Kirin, a mythical creature, stepping through the clouds, kicking open a huge hole, with the surrounding storm clouds rapidly dispersing.
Looking down, its eyes seemingly mocking, it gazed at the Tailed Beast Bomb forming at Gyūki's mouth.
The three simultaneously motioned downwards.
As if hearing their call, the Kirin roared, plunging down with a torrent of thunder.
Targeting Gyūki and the Tailed Beast Bomb in its mouth!
Boom! With the force of a thousand thunders, the Kirin struck Gyūki's head, enveloping its mountainous body and the Tailed Beast Bomb in a sea of blue lightning.
Light, bright light!
A chaotic sea of light spread out instantly, and the thunder sea exploded with all its might at this moment.
A spherical shockwave enveloped Gyūki completely, the area expanding, expanding!
Whoosh! The shockwave lifted a thick slab of the earth, trees and stones soaring into the sky, then swallowed by the ever-growing shockwave.
Three seconds?
Unknown, perhaps longer.
The blinding light finally faded, and the landscape returned to its original state, Gyūki's mountainous body disappearing into the ether.
Where it once stood, a crater several dozen meters deep remained, the surrounding earth scorched, with stray arcs of electricity.
The earth mound and the others rushed up.
Kakashi and Obito, now exhausted, fell to the ground.
Kyomu didn't catch them but stood with his back to them, fingers clawed, tips flashing with the symbols of the Five Elements.
Thinking that reverting from full Tailed Beast Mode would leave you unscathed?
Swoosh.
Kyomu appeared directly above the unconscious Killer Bee, pressing a hand on his abdomen as he landed.
Five Elements Seal!
Sizzle.
The sound of branding echoed as Killer Bee's perfectly intact Tailed Beast Seal was marked with a 'disruptor', the chakra of Gyūki disturbed, along with the negative emotions in Killer Bee's heart.
Boom! Suddenly exploding Tailed Beast chakra threw Kyomu back, the malevolent aura released into the air sending shivers down the spine.
With a smirk, Kyomu waved at Doroi and the others.
"I'm out, this mess is yours to handle."
Silently mouthing words, Kyomu landed, grabbing Kakashi and Obito on either side, and with Might Guy on his shoulder, led the team in a swift retreat.
This round, too, was his victory!
