Naruto: The Teaching System - 222

Chapter 222: Who is the Jinchuriki?

Thud—thud—thud—

Over a dozen chains directly pierced through Killer Bee's partial Tailed Beast form, with the final one wrapping directly around Killer Bee's neck.

"Ughhh—"

The partially transformed Killer Bee let out a muffled groan as his entire body was hoisted up by the chain Sawada had wrapped around his neck.

The blazing white light clashed violently with the dark red Tailed Beast chakra.

The Eight-Tails within Killer Bee struggled with all its might, but couldn't hold on for even a moment.

Whoosh—

When Sawada's chains gained the upper hand, the four dark red tentacles on the partially transformed Killer Bee hung limply, and the Eight-Tails within seemed to collapse powerlessly inside Killer Bee.

He stammered, "Bee! I can't do it! These chains are absorbing my chakra..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Eight-Tails' voice disappeared.

Killer Bee's partial Tailed Beast state slowly receded, revealing his original appearance.

"Ya fool! Damn it... this ain't over...!"

Seeing the Eight-Tails fall silent and unable to enter the mental space, Killer Bee's forehead veins bulged as he frantically circulated his chakra, trying to break free from these accursed chains!

Lightning Release chakra gathered all over his body, exploding directly on his surface, impacting the chains.

The chains shook violently, the blazing white light flickering slightly.

Sawada frowned slightly. Killer Bee was indeed troublesome. Although his Divine Binding Chains were designed to absorb chakra, this didn't mean they had no weaknesses. If Killer Bee continued to stimulate them with Lightning Release chakra like this, things might really go wrong.

'Can't give him a chance!'

Sawada ignored the struggling Killer Bee and directly raised his hand, beginning to gather chakra.

Huh?

Killer Bee, who had been struggling, now looked up in disbelief. He never expected that Sawada still had enough energy to release such a massive amount of chakra!

Who—exactly who was the jinchuriki here!

Buzz buzz—

Sawada paid no attention to Killer Bee's thoughts. A highly compressed, violently rotating massive chakra sphere radiating a terrifying aura directly formed in his palm.

"Sage Art: Super Big Ball Rasengan!"

Its scale directly surpassed the Big Ball Rasengan, with natural energy from Sage Mode surging within the chakra sphere.

Damn it!

Killer Bee struggled to lift his head, looking up at Sawada above, and suddenly let out a furious roar.

"Don't... underestimate me! I... am Killer Bee, ya fool!"

Red Tailed Beast chakra appeared on Killer Bee's body, but it seemed somewhat unstable, as if it could dissipate at any moment.

Ahh—!

Killer Bee directly opened his mouth wide, as pitch-black Yin Release chakra and dark red Yang Release chakra began to gather.

"This guy..."

Sawada's expression changed. Just now, Killer Bee had actually used Lightning Release to stimulate himself, reopening the channel to use Tailed Beast chakra again!

However, using chakra in this way to release a Tailed Beast Ball—was this guy insane?!

Even an unformed Tailed Beast Ball radiated heart-stopping destructive power.

The fusion of Yin Release and Yang Release wasn't thorough enough. A massive energy sphere radiating sinister energy, interwoven with black and dark red, formed in front of Killer Bee.

"Tailed Beast Ball—!"

Boom—

Killer Bee didn't care about anything else and directly shot the incomplete Tailed Beast Ball toward Sawada.

Sawada coldly waved his hand downward, and the Sage Art: Super Big Ball Rasengan in his palm shot toward Killer Bee's Tailed Beast Ball.

Then his figure directly disappeared.

In the valley, all sounds seemed to vanish.

The audience in the venue no longer needed to watch through screens, because a blazing white light bloomed directly before their eyes.

The next moment—

Rumble rumble rumble—!!!

An explosion beyond description erupted.

Two chakra spheres containing extreme energy collided directly, and blinding white light instantly enveloped the entire valley.

At the mountain base, violent energy shockwaves spread in a hemispherical pattern. The already devastated ground was peeled away and pulverized layer by layer like building blocks.

The Kumogakure ninja maintaining the sealing barrier felt like they'd been hit by a high-speed steam train.

They were all blown back, their entire bodies violently thrown by the force.

The sealing barrier also collapsed simultaneously. Fortunately, it blocked the first wave of impact, leaving only a massive heat wave surging toward the spectator stands.

Kumogakure's valley welcomed its second mushroom cloud in a short time.

Only this time, it carried scorching heat.

"Samui! Quickly go to the arena to confirm casualties!"

Fourth Raikage A immediately stood up and shouted to Samui beside him.

Samui, who had been in a daze, immediately snapped back to reality and disappeared from her position.

Hiruzen and others remained seated, as this was Kumogakure territory and they weren't greatly affected.

However, the arena below was in much worse condition for the Kumogakure villagers.

After all, even just a heat wave could burn many people.

Fourth Raikage A came to the high wall, looking toward the explosion center at the mountain base. The smoke and dust from the explosion hadn't yet cleared.

Bee!

No matter how anxious the Fourth Raikage was, he didn't dare leave at this moment.

The other Kage here still needed him to keep them in check. He didn't believe Bee would die so easily.

"Puh—!"

Killer Bee, at the explosion's center, suddenly spat out blood.

At the last moment, the Eight-Tails' Tailed Beast chakra had helped him withstand the first wave of impact.

But his internal organs still suffered severe shock.

Fortunately though, looking at the chains on his body cracking inch by inch, turning into points of light and dissipating, Killer Bee smiled bitterly.

"Ya fool~ I'm still pretty amazing!"

Looking up, he saw the smoke and dust slowly clearing, with no trace of Sawada around.

"It really hurts!"

"Fool! That kid was really ruthless! But he should be too exhausted to stand now."

Yes, even though Killer Bee didn't sense Sawada's presence, he didn't believe Sawada had died in this explosion. After all, this guy had caused such serious damage to Killer Bee.

Someone with that kind of strength! How could he die so easily!

"Cough cough—"

Killer Bee swayed as he tried to stand straight. No matter what, he had to confirm.

This was a fair and honorable duel, regardless of victory or defeat.

He, Killer Bee, had given his all!

"Bee..."

The Eight-Tails' voice sounded within Killer Bee, but seemed particularly weak.

"Partner, still alive?"

Killer Bee grinned somewhat relievedly and asked.

"Don't ask... such stupid questions. If I died, you wouldn't survive either..."

The Eight-Tails said very weakly. Even at a time like this, Killer Bee was still so careless.

"Ha... ha... I should have won..." Killer Bee staggered and collapsed on the ground, panting heavily.

"Oh? Is that so?"

A calm voice sounded behind Killer Bee.
