"Who gave you permission... to touch her!"
Aokawa gripped the Eight-Tails' neck with one hand. That massive body hung limp and weak, as if it had lost all resistance.
He was just about to completely finish off this Tailed Beast.
"Who gave permission?"
An indignant voice rang out from beneath that shattered bone mask.
The Eight-Tails suddenly snapped its head up.
Within those crimson beast eyes, an unyielding fire of rage burned.
"Don't get cocky, human!"
"This great one... hasn't reached the point where I can be trampled under your feet!"
As the words fell.
Boom!
A burst of Chakra, even more violent than before, erupted from within its body!
Aokawa's hand was violently repelled by this force.
He watched the monster before him; the originally dark-red Chakra flesh was rapidly becoming solid.
The blurred features gradually became clear, and ferocious bull horns grew out.
The tails hanging behind it split and grew, transforming into eight massive octopus tentacles covered in suckers!
Its body expanded frantically.
Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters... until it became a terrifying monster fifty to sixty meters tall!
Its massive form blotted out the light from the sky, casting the entire Battlefield into its shadow.
The Eight-Tails' Complete Form had arrived!
The eight giant octopus tentacles behind it were like dancing pythons, each swing creating a whistle that tore through the air.
Gyuki opened its massive maw and let out a heaven-shaking roar.
"Let me show you this great one's peak form!"
In the distant dense forest.
Whether it was the Konoha Ninjas or the Cloud Hidden pursuers who had just arrived, they all looked up.
They stared at that mountain-like terrifying monster, their faces filled with nothing but shock and fear.
"A monster..."
"That's... a monster..."
One Konoha Ninja's pupils trembled, his legs went weak, and his body fell backward uncontrollably.
How are you supposed to fight something like that?
On the other side, the pursuing Cloud Hidden Ninjas were also dripping with sweat, the sound of gulping echoing in their throats.
They had heard that a monster was sealed inside Lord Bee's body.
But they never imagined it would be such a terrifying monster!
Nii Yugito gave a cold laugh as she looked at the terror-stricken faces around her.
"The power of a Jinchuriki is far more terrifying than you imagine!"
Kakashi and the others looked at each other, their expressions filled with solemnity.
"Ah—!"
Suddenly.
In the Konoha team, a Ninja who could no longer bear the pressure clutched his head and screamed, turning to run.
He would rather fight the Cloud Hidden pursuers behind them than be driven insane by incomprehensible fear in a battle of this level.
The breakdown of one person triggered a chain reaction.
Others also snapped out of it and turned to flee.
At this moment, the Cloud Hidden Ninjas tacitly chose not to attack.
They also retreated, fleeing into the distant forest without looking back.
Kakashi, Hinata Iruha, and the others saw that even the Cloud Ninjas had abandoned the fight, and they exchanged glances.
They all saw resolve in each other's eyes.
They nodded sharply, and Uchiha Inabi grabbed Nii Yugito, who was still in shock on the ground.
Without the slightest hesitation, the group fled frantically toward the rear.
"Thinking of escaping?"
The massive Gyuki looked down at the humans fleeing in all directions like ants.
It let out a cold snort.
Then, it opened its massive bull mouth.
In the air, countless blue and red Chakra spheres appeared out of nowhere.
Under its control, these spheres rapidly converged and compressed into its mouth.
A black-red energy ball slowly formed.
As more Chakra poured in, the volume of that Tailed Beast Ball continued to expand at a visible rate.
"Starting off with an ultimate move?" Aokawa's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched this.
He controlled his body, slowly rising into the sky.
"Perfect, the reishi my body was forced to absorb has reached its limit."
"I need an outlet to vent it."
As he spoke, he slowly raised his right hand.
In his palm, a blue-white incandescent point of light emerged.
In the next moment, the point of light expanded abruptly!
The reishi flowing endlessly through his body poured frantically into it.
The pillar of light behind him, which had been expanding due to the constant absorption of external reishi, suddenly stalled under this frantic consumption.
It even began to show signs of shrinking.
That blue-white reishi sphere was not only absorbing the reishi within Aokawa's body.
The ownerless reishi particles in the surrounding air were also being sucked in frantically.
Even from the Tailed Beast Ball forming in Gyuki's mouth, wisps of blue-white light were being forcibly stripped away and merged into the reishi sphere.
In just a few seconds.
The reishi sphere in Aokawa's hand expanded to the same size as the Tailed Beast Ball in Gyuki's mouth.
One black, one white.
Two massive energy spheres radiating an aura of destruction hung in the sky like an ominous sun and moon.
"Impossible!"
Gyuki's face was full of disbelief: "A human! How could a human possibly wield such massive energy!"
In the distance, the people fleeing for their lives felt the terrifying fluctuations coming from behind them.
They instinctively looked back.
And then, they saw a scene that would be etched in their memories for a lifetime.
In the sky, two massive energy suns hung; even though they had run quite a distance, the energy contained within those black and white spheres still made their hearts tremble.
Their breathing grew rapid, and a wave of lingering fear welled up in their hearts.
In a battle of this monster level, how could they have been so naive earlier to think they could be saved just by running over?
The collision of this level of energy would likely swallow them all along with the earth itself, just from the aftershocks!
The next moment.
The two massive energy spheres were fired simultaneously!
Boom—!
One black and one white, two massive torrents of energy collided violently in the air!
The sounds of the surrounding environment vanished in that instant.
There was only a pure white light that swallowed everything.
Following closely.
Boom!
A massive spherical energy shockwave radiated outward from the point of impact, and the earth trembled violently.
Wherever the white light reached, hills, trees, rocks... everything was instantly reduced to nothingness.
That destructive shockwave was about to swallow the fleeing Kakashi and the others.
Right then.
A figure flashed before them once again.
Aokawa slammed his hands together.
"Reijutsu: Earth Release: Earth Style Wall of Continuous Citadels!"
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Three incredibly thick and massive city walls rose from the ground, blocking the path behind the group.
In the next instant, the white shockwave slammed hard against the walls!
Boom—!
The massive roar that erupted again was deafening.
The walls and the white shockwave both annihilated each other in a violent energy reaction.
The smoke and dust slowly cleared.
On the field, Aokawa and the massive Eight-Tails Gyuki were still in a standoff.
Just then.
In the distant horizon, a flash of blue lightning passed by.
Following it.
A figure with slicked-back hair, an incredibly sturdy build, and muscles bulging all over appeared beside Gyuki.
"Bee, what happened?"
