Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Full Power Eight Tailed Mode!
Land of Frost, Frost Village.
What had originally served as the meeting hall for the negotiations between Konoha and Kumogakure was instantly reduced to rubble, turned into complete ruins!
Chiyu was locked in fierce combat with the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki, Killer Bee!
Meanwhile, Might Guy was battling the Fourth Raikage!
Hatake Kakashi and Dodai did not participate in the fight.
Dodai had never wanted to see it come to this in the first place; watching these terrifying clashes unfold only made him sigh in exasperation, his head throbbing with worry.
As for Kakashi, he was prepared to act at any moment if necessary.
Mifune, acting as a semi-host and mediator, knew full well that even if he wanted to intervene, there was nothing he could do; he could not possibly stop the likes of Chiyu, Killer Bee, Guy, and the Raikage in an all-out battle.
The four of them together—Chiyu, Bee, Guy, and the Fourth Raikage—were like four bombs going off, unleashing terrifying destructive power. Even Mifune, who had seen much in his time, could not hide his astonishment!
As for the Land of Frost's local lord and the ordinary Frost Village shinobi, all of them were petrified with fear, fleeing far away to hide themselves.
…
Meanwhile, outside Frost Village…
Sarutobi Asuma was also racing toward the site. He and the hardline Kazuma's faction had obtained intel that Konoha's Hokage, Uchiha Chiyu, would be meeting the Raikage in the Land of Frost, so rather than attacking Konoha, they decided to ambush the Hokage here in Frost Village!
Kazuma was a staunch supporter of the Daimyō faction within the Twelve Guardian Shinobi. He firmly believed that only the Land of Fire's Daimyō should rule, and that Konoha and the Hokage were blights to be eradicated.
In agreement with him were five others.
Asuma, Chiriku, and the "Limelight" were originally on the "Hokage side." But because Sarutobi Asuma's father, Sarutobi Hiruzen, had been killed, Asuma resolved to join forces with Kazuma to take revenge on Chiyu!
Kazuma had already killed the "Limelight," then resurrected them as puppets using his ultimate Earth-Style ninjutsu…
Earth Release Resurrection Technique: Corpse Soil!
This technique functioned somewhat like Edo Tensei, albeit with numerous limitations. It required meticulous setup beforehand, and resurrected individuals could only be brought back once.
More crucially, although they could exercise the abilities they held in life, their bodies were formed out of earth and thus relatively fragile, easily destroyed.
Regardless, with Kazuma and Asuma teaming up—minus Chiriku, who had left—they effectively mobilized the entire Twelve Guardian Shinobi.
Kazuma: "Heh, with Chiyu so extreme, plus that brute Raikage, this so-called negotiation is bound to fail. A blow-up is practically guaranteed.
When that happens, we can reap the benefits as the fisherman once the snipe and clam are locked in battle, ambushing the Hokage for good—then we'll completely end this rotten history and system!"
Sarutobi Asuma did not share Kazuma's ideology. He simply wanted to kill Chiyu for a direct purpose…
Avenge his father… his brother… his entire Sarutobi clan.
But as soon as their group arrived in Frost Village:
Boom—
Rumble—
Terrifying blasts echoed incessantly, the entire earth shaking from the impact, dust and gravel flying everywhere!
Kazuma's heart lurched, then soared with excitement.
Kazuma: "They're fighting already, as predicted!
Asuma, fortune is on our side—this is our perfect chance!"
Asuma wore a complicated expression yet recalled his lost loved ones, steeling himself.
They advanced carefully toward the epicenter of the fighting.
But from some distance away, the intense blasts and overwhelming power left them all gaping with shock.
Twelve Guardian Shinobi Member: "W-what kind of battle is this…?
The whole ground is shaking—!"
One by one, they stood rooted in alarm. Kazuma, too, felt cold sweat trickle down his back.
Kazuma (inwardly): "That's… beyond imagination. The ground is quaking?"
Asuma looked on, face ashen.
Asuma (inwardly): "So this is Uchiha Chiyu's power…?"
He thought of what Nara Shikaku had once told him: "You're heading toward self-destruction."
Now it no longer sounded like an exaggeration.
In front of such monstrous might, their so-called plan to kill the Hokage… was laughably naive.
The vast difference in power was like heaven and earth. Even banding together in the Twelve Guardian Shinobi, what real threat could they pose?
Realizing this, the entire Twelve Guardian Shinobi squad felt their impetus for battle vanish instantly.
…
On the battlefield…
Chiyu had activated the Fourth Form of Susanoo, the colossal avatar towering overhead like a true war god descending upon the earth. Brandishing the Ten-Taba Zaimetsu Ken Sword and the Chiibiki Zai-Bakusō Chain, Susanoo displayed an unimaginable ferocity!
Opposing him was the fully transformed Eight-Tails Jinchūriki, Killer Bee, who had already partially drawn on full beast-form. His entire physique had become a massive humanoid combination of bull and octopus—eight monstrous tentacles thrashing about, making the earth heave and quake!
They clashed in a single brutal strike!
The result: a sky-rending impact, day turning to night. The explosive shockwave forced Mifune, Dodai, Kakashi, and everyone else to retreat tens of meters back in desperation—just to avoid getting caught up.
Nearby, Might Guy and the Fourth Raikage were also locked in fierce battle. Each felt the repercussions from Chiyu and Bee's showdown, forced to fight while dodging the storm of destruction!
Observing from even further away, Kazuma's group simply stared in horror. Even they had to concede that no place existed for them in such a confrontation.
"Bee, watch out for that man's Mangekyō Sharingan! Don't make eye contact!"
Half-transformed, Killer Bee heard the caution in his mind from the Eight-Tails, Gyūki.
Bee: "I know, fool—ya fool! I'm a perfect jinchūriki, so the Mangekyō illusions can't trap me, yeah!"
Gyūki shouted:
Gyūki: "Don't underestimate him. Those are the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan—akin to Uchiha Madara's. Remember how even the Nine-Tails—the mightiest among Tailed Beasts—once got controlled by Madara's eyes?
Even if you are a perfect jinchūriki and not so easily subdued by illusions, if it's the Eternal Mangekyō, we can't be too careful."
Brash by nature, Bee realized the severity:
Bee (inwardly): "This dude's indeed on another level, yeah— My Supervibrato Lightning Release Swords, or even my heavier forms, aren't enough to beat him!"
Gyūki: "His sheer power, speed, and illusions—someone with full mastery of Mangekyō plus that rumored 'strongest lightning armor'… He's no less than your brother's father or even the Third Raikage."
Bee: "Dammit, he's strong, fool—ya fool!
All right, gotta ramp it up, yo!"
Saying this, Bee retreated swiftly, forcibly severing several tentacles to escape the sin-fettering chain.
"Hachibi Transformation—Full Mode!"
A thunderous roar, and Bee's half-formed shape erupted. He soared into the giant monstrous bull-octopus form that overshadowed everything, unleashing unbelievably dense chakra.
Kakashi, witnessing it from a distance, couldn't help trembling:
Kakashi: "So that's the Eight-Tails in its true form… This monstrous aura… is horrifying!"
Even the Fourth Raikage, deep in combat with Guy, looked unsettled:
Raikage (muttering): "So you had to use the complete Tailed Beast form, Bee?"
Nearby watchers—Mifune and Dodai—backed even farther away to avoid being engulfed by the violence to come.
As for the Twelve Guardian Shinobi, seeing that spectacle was enough to freeze them in place. Even Kazuma felt his overconfidence vanish.
Sarutobi Asuma, burning for revenge, now only sensed despair:
Asuma (inwardly): "Father… Brother… Everyone in the Sarutobi clan… I wanted so badly to avenge all of you, but… How can I fight this?!"
…
Chiyu, however, only displayed a faint, amused look at the fully unleashed Killer Bee. Among the shinobi world's elites, possibly only a perfect jinchūriki like Bee could engage him in near-equal, head-on combat. Yet…
Chiyu (to himself): "Even so, he's no match for me."
Bee's majestic beast form dwarfed them all, like a living mountain crowned by monstrous horns and tentacles. The energy emanating from him was colossal, shaking every soul.
Killer Bee: "Time to sweep the field, you fool—ya fool!"
Gyūki: "Understood!"
They coiled up their massive form, every tentacle compressing in, forcibly compressing themselves to a limit—then suddenly unleashed:
"Tailed Beast Eight Twist!!!"
Boom!
A cataclysmic surge wracked the surroundings, splitting earth and sky, while the entire terrain shook ceaselessly!
