Chapter 937: Nine-Tails Chakra Mode!!
Chapter 937: Nine-Tails Chakra Mode!!
"Have a feast!"
Kisame brandished his bizarrely shaped sword, Samehada, which resembled a fish, and slashed down.
Wait!
Samehada itself was a fish, but it could be used as a weapon.
Gulp!
Killer B could even hear the occasional swallowing sound coming from Samehada.
Even a mere brush against his Tailed Beast cloak made him feel as if his chakra was being drained.
"Bee, I can't let him keep draining my chakra!"
The Eight-Tails within Killer B naturally sensed its chakra being sucked away and immediately spoke up.
"Yeah, I'm Killer B, and I'll make it clear!"
Upon hearing the warning, Killer B instantly changed his combat style, preparing to create some distance.
Zzzra!
Amidst the surging electricity, the Thousand Birds Sharp Spear pierced through, forcing Killer B, who was initially planning to retreat, to engage Kisame head-on.
Sasuke's battle IQ was no joke; he quickly understood Kisame's advantage and immediately devised a strategy.
Restricting Killer B's movements, forcing him to fight Kisame in close combat.
The key was genjutsu! The Mangekyo's genjutsu had a significant boost against Tailed Beasts.
Even though Sasuke wasn't a genjutsu specialist, he could still affect the Eight-Tails.
It was only because Killer B hadn't transformed into a Tailed Beast; otherwise, he would have been defeated in no time.
Jinchuuriki could better resist the Mangekyo than Tailed Beasts.
However, Sasuke's genjutsu was indeed lacking.
If it were Hiashi or Izumi, they could easily handle the situation. Even if they weren't as skilled, Uchiha Mei could control the Eight-Tails with a single glance, unlike Sasuke who could only influence it.
The difference in genjutsu prowess between individuals was truly staggering. Even among Mangekyo users, the effects they could produce varied greatly.
Sasuke's genjutsu was indeed subpar.
Even if he succeeded, it was due to the Mangekyo, not his genjutsu prowess.
The true genjutsu geniuses were Itachi, Hiashi, and Izumi. Uchiha Mei was considered proficient but not the strongest in this aspect.
However, with Sasuke's restraint and Kisame's frontal assault, Killer B quickly found himself at a disadvantage.
Yes, his swordsmanship was exceptional.
The Eight Swords Style was both dazzling and deadly.
The problem was Kisame, a power-type opponent who countered with sheer force.
Each sword strike aimed to clash directly with Kisame's strength, and the delicate blades, as wide as a door panel, were no match for Kisame's thick and sturdy legs.
In terms of strength, Kisame was a force to be reckoned with, perhaps due to his racial talent, even without undergoing the Ascension Long Stage Surgery, he rivaled the likes of Yamashiro Koji.
When it came to raw strength, he was on par with tons.
It was safe to say that in the Shinobi World, all sorts of monsters existed.
"Bee!"
The Eight-Tails grew anxious as it witnessed Killer B's shoulder being grazed by the Thousand Birds Sharp Spear, causing blood to splatter.
"I'm Killer B, the Infinite Flash, never to admit defeat!"
Unfazed, Killer B clashed with Kisame once more, but this time, he fought more aggressively.
Close-quarters combat! And he deliberately abandoned the Tailed Beast cloak, relying solely on chakra to enhance his physical abilities without using ninjutsu or other techniques.
This tactic prevented Samehada from devouring the Eight-Tails' chakra.
More importantly, it also hindered Sasuke from making a move, as he might accidentally injure Killer B.
It was no wonder that with his extensive combat experience, Killer B quickly devised a countermeasure.
However, in a close-quarters battle against a power-type like Kisame, Killer B, who relied on space manipulation techniques, was at a significant disadvantage.
Moreover, with Sasuke lurking nearby, Killer B couldn't fully utilize his strength.
Bang!!
After a dozen exchanges, Killer B, along with his sword, was slammed and flew, crashing into the side of the waterfall's cliff, creating a pit in the rock.
A ninja's body was highly resistant to blunt attacks.
Just as Kisame was about to pursue, he noticed a massive golden chakra claw reaching out from behind the waterfall.
"What's this...?"
Surprised, Kisame blocked the attack with Samehada.
Indeed, this bladeless sword could not only slash like a weapon but also serve as a shield for protection.
"Uncle Bee!"
A concerned voice accompanied the emerging figure.
It was Naruto, but he looked completely different from before.
His entire body was enveloped in flame-like golden chakra, with rows of magatama on his chest and unique seals on various parts of his body.
Nine-Tails Chakra Mode!
It appears similar to the Tailed Beast Cloak, as both utilize the Tailed Beast's chakra. However, they are fundamentally different.
It's like comparing Kangshifu and Kangshuafu; they may look alike, but they are essentially distinct.
The Tailed Beast Cloak is a Jinchuriki's utilization of the Tailed Beast's power, akin to taking it without permission.
On the other hand, the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode is when the Tailed Beast willingly 'lends' its power to the Jinchuriki, allowing them complete control without any interference or hidden agendas.
This difference can be felt intuitively.
If it were the blood-red Tailed Beast Cloak, it would evoke a sense of ferocity and evil, as that is the nature of the Nine-Tails' chakra.
In contrast, the golden flame-like Nine-Tails Chakra Mode gives off a warm and sunny vibe, devoid of any malicious intent.
Moreover, their combat abilities are vastly different.
The Tailed Beast Cloak's power is naturally far inferior to the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.
