"Hehehe, Power Bank Number Two, here I come!"
Uchiha Kai rubbed his little hands together, his baby-fat face filled with anticipation for what was about to happen.
Pinching the golden pill he had just refined from his own chakra, he crouched in front of Killer B.
His eyes were full of excitement and expectation.
At this moment, Killer B was sprawled weakly on the ground like an octopus.
A dehydrated octopus.
Because of the prolonged "drought," his entire aura was extremely weak. He didn't even have the strength to rap anymore.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but only a hoarse "heh… heh…" sound came from his throat.
Seeing Kai approach, he used the last bit of strength in his whole body to roll his eyes.
He was already in this state.
What else could Kai possibly do?
Even if Kai tried draining him again, there was nothing left to drain.
But what Killer B hadn't expected was that Kai did not continue draining him.
Instead, he waved the golden pill in his hand in front of him.
This was?!
Killer B's pupils instantly focused.
He stared at the pill before him, a trace of desire appearing in his eyes.
He would not forget that after Kai swallowed two pills earlier, the aura around his entire body had undergone earth-shaking changes.
If—
If he could eat this pill, then he would surely become stronger too!
Perhaps even surpassing the boy in front of him would not be impossible!
Thinking this, he hurriedly used all his strength to turn his head slightly toward Kai.
Only after squeezing out every bit of energy in his body did he manage to speak with difficulty.
"Let me eat it… let me eat it… please, let me eat it."
Then—
A hint of joy slowly appeared on his face.
He clearly saw Kai slowly lower the pill in his hand.
"Come, come, open wide. Ah—"
Kai didn't care what Killer B's reaction was. He flicked his finger directly.
Whoosh!
The golden pill shot accurately into Killer B's fully opened mouth.
Gulp.
The pill melted as soon as it entered, sliding straight down his throat.
BOOM!
The instant it entered his body, a surging torrent of golden chakra exploded outward!
Killer B didn't even get a chance to react. He only felt countless waves of immense energy flooding through him.
His dried-up body rapidly swelled like an inflating balloon.
Most importantly—
His skin!
His once gray and withered skin!
It regained its luster, and his weakened aura began rising step by step!
RUMBLE!
Another powerful aura erupted with a crash.
"This! This! This is—power!"
"Hahahahaha! My power is back! Hahahahaha!"
Feeling the strength inside him, even greater than before, Killer B sprang up with a carp flip.
Zzzzt!
Crackle!
Lightning exploded all over his body.
Nine octopus tails appeared excitedly behind him, whipping around wildly!
Snap!
Snap, snap!
At this moment, even the air let out miserable cries beneath their strikes.
He rolled his neck, his entire body cracking loudly.
Then he turned toward Kai, his grin stretching almost to the backs of his ears as he said excitedly,
"Fool! Idiot! You little Uchiha brat, you're still too young!"
"On the battlefield, you actually dared to aid your enemy!"
"Not only did you release me, you even helped me recover to my peak for free—no!"
At this point, Killer B lowered his head and looked at his hands, his eyes filled with shock.
"Not my peak. Far beyond my previous peak!"
"This amount of chakra… even if I had ten years, a hundred years, I might not have been able to accumulate this much!"
At the same time, inside his body—
After receiving the feedback from that chakra—
The weakened Gyūki also stood up completely.
Its eight enormous tails swayed wildly inside the mental space!
Not only was Killer B excited.
Gyūki was just as excited.
Immediately afterward, Killer B's hands flashed through seals.
The Tailed Beast cloak around him erupted with a boom.
That overwhelming aura directly sent the surrounding grassland surging violently!
"S-So strong!"
Dozens of meters away, the Uchiha jōnin who had chased him earlier turned pale with shock upon seeing Killer B's aura.
"I was actually chasing someone this powerful just now?!"
That chakra pressure made his entire body tremble!
It felt as though if he merely brushed against it, he would be blown into ashes.
And this was only the eruption of aura.
They had not truly exchanged blows yet.
If they truly fought, and the opponent used ninjutsu—or even weapons—
The result would be even more unimaginable.
"The Eight-Tails Jinchūriki is already this powerful. Then… then… then…"
The Uchiha jōnin looked toward Kai.
The shock in his eyes was no longer mere astonishment.
There was also heartfelt respect.
Young Master Kai!
This was the young clan head of the Uchiha clan.
This was the strongest member of their Uchiha clan.
Such a terrifying Jinchūriki was completely helpless before Young Master Kai.
Longing.
Respect.
Worship.
Recognition.
Excitement.
All sorts of complex emotions intertwined and surged upward.
At this moment, the jōnin's heart became incomparably excited.
In his eyes, the three tomoe began spinning rapidly.
Vaguely, they showed signs of connecting into one.
…
"Since you treated me like this, I'll thank you with your life!"
Killer B shouted excitedly.
The overwhelming power had already gone to his head, causing him to forget the gap between him and Uchiha Kai.
A gap as vast as heaven and earth.
"Tailed Beast Cannon!"
The next second, the eight tails behind him gathered together, forming a trumpet-like shape with the opening aimed directly ahead.
There, a crimson spherical mass of chakra over three meters wide condensed wildly.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Buzz—crackle, crackle!
Not only chakra—
Dense streaks of blue-white lightning spread around it.
That violent aura instantly scorched the surrounding air!
Seeing this, many people's expressions changed slightly.
Future Sasuke: "…"
Jiraiya: "…"
The two silently looked at each other.
There was no fear in their eyes.
No dread.
No worry.
Only amusement.
Or rather—
Pity.
Especially future Sasuke.
His eyes were filled with the pity of someone looking at a hopeless fool.
Because of Naruto, his impression of Killer B was not bad.
But seeing him like this now, Sasuke had only one thought.
Brainless.
Absolutely brainless.
"Heh… hehe…"
Even Urashiki, who was still lying on the ground like a corpse, had the remaining half-open golden Rinnegan twitch faintly.
This scene…
Why did it feel a little familiar?
SLAP!
Faster than Killer B's Tailed Beast Ball gathering speed—
Was a crisp slap.
And Killer B's figure, wrapped in tremendous force, spun in place several times like a top after being slapped.
Even the chakra he had just recovered was nearly slapped apart again.
Pfft.
The Tailed Beast Ball he had just condensed, over three meters wide, vanished directly after a swirl.
Zero-frame reaction speed plus Kamui's transfer dōjutsu.
After recovering, Killer B was dumbfounded.
He stared blankly at himself.
Then at Kai.
As though he still didn't quite understand what had just happened.
Right then, a laugh suddenly sounded beside him.
"Pfft—hahahahaha!"
The half-dead Urashiki was laughing with great effort.
