Chapter 165: Killer Bee and the Long-Awaited Battle

In Cloud-Thunder Gorge, Killer Bee was sitting on a large rock, faint electric light flickering over his body.

The dark clouds in the sky intertwined, and from time to time, the sound of muffled thunder rumbled; bright electric light would also suddenly appear from the clouds, descending from the sky to strike Killer Bee!

Every time this moment arrived, the electric light on Killer Bee's body would explode in an instant, and occasionally his muscles would twitch twice, revealing some charred marks from the electricity.

Lightning Release Chakra Mode is not a particularly difficult ninjutsu; at the very least, in terms of ninjutsu difficulty classification, Lightning Release Chakra Mode is only B-Rank.

It is just that the most basic Lightning Release Chakra Mode is indeed not very difficult, and nearly a dozen ninja in the Cloud Ninja Village can master the basic Lightning Release Chakra Mode, but higher-level advanced training is both difficult and dangerous.

In Cloud-Thunder Gorge, using the power of lightning to hone the Lightning Release Chakra Mode can be said to be the final advanced training for this type of Lightning Release Chakra Mode. Normally, only monsters with physiques like the Third Raikage and his son could complete this dangerous training; other ninja would only end up being electrocuted into a charred corpse.

Even though Killer Bee's talent is good, there is still a gap compared to the Third Raikage and his elder brother A, so it was originally very difficult to conduct this training.

However, the power from the Tailed Beast within his body made up for this final sliver of a flaw. Although the Eight-Tails' chakra is not as special as the Nine-Tails'—which allowed Uzumaki Naruto to regrow his heart and veins even after they were severed—it can still significantly enhance a jinchuriki's recovery ability.

Relying on the jinchuriki's special recovery ability, plus the fact that Killer Bee's own talent is not bad, he was able to push the Lightning Release Chakra Mode to the highest realm. Even so, compared to his elder brother and the Third Raikage, Killer Bee is still inferior in pure Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

The Third Raikage possessed the Strongest Spear and the Strongest Shield, Killer Bee's foster brother A possesses the fastest body speed, while Killer Bee himself is relatively mediocre in all aspects.

The current Killer Bee's aura is much stronger than it was a few years ago, and it is even very close to that of the original Third Raikage.

Uchiha Feiyu, hiding in the rift of space, did not reveal any aura, but as a top-tier powerhouse, Killer Bee still felt the threat of being watched by a gaze, however faint, and frowned as he opened his eyes.

But Uchiha Feiyu is currently using Kamui, the most bugged Space-Time Ninjutsu in Hokage; unless the lightning summoned by Killer Bee could split space, it would be impossible to pose any threat to him.

The so-called Lightning Release: Earth Flow is just a very ordinary Lightning Release ninjutsu. However, under Killer Bee's cost-no-object consumption of chakra and the bonus of the strange magnetic field and electric charge of Cloud-Thunder Gorge, the current that should have been as thin as a swimming snake turned into a violent giant python, crawling over the entire gorge in an instant!

The violent current even triggered the thunderclouds above Cloud-Thunder Gorge. Under the attraction of positive and negative charges, a dozen bolts of violent lightning descended from the sky, rumbling as they bombarded the gorge, further strengthening this ordinary Lightning Release ninjutsu to an incredible degree!

"Is this Lightning Release: Earth Flow?! The Kirin developed by Sasuke isn't this terrifying, right!"

"Something wrong!? Are you referring to the fact that you just went crazy and blew yourself up?"

"Besides... this guy has been training very hard these past few years!"

Taking a deep breath, Killer Bee performed a Seal with both hands and then pressed them to the ground; electric light instantly permeated from between his five fingers:

Relying on Space-Time Ninjutsu, Uchiha Feiyu walked into Cloud-Thunder Gorge as if strolling in a courtyard, and seeing Killer Bee training, he couldn't help but nod.

Fortunately, Killer Bee's true Power Level is not just the Lightning Release Chakra Mode; he also has the power of the Tailed Beast, so if they really fought, Killer Bee might not necessarily be worse than the Third Raikage, and might even be stronger.

Further considering the Tailed Beast power within him, the two combined are definitely more troublesome than the Third Raikage.

"A strange feeling, as if I'm being stared at... Let's test it!"

Gyuki spoke with some impatience; the senses of a Tailed Beast and a jinchuriki are linked to a certain extent, especially for a Perfect Jinchuriki, where the senses of both parties are nearly shared. When Killer Bee gets struck by lightning, Gyuki can also feel the pain!

Moreover, Gyuki is not a special Tailed Beast like Kurama after all. Although he also has a certain sensory ability, it is certainly not as good as the Nine-Tails with Sage Mode, and he lacks that emotional perception ability.

"Lightning Release—Earth Flow!!"

But when Killer Bee came to his senses, panting, he found that the entire Cloud-Thunder Gorge was quiet, without a single shadow of a person.

After a bout of wild thunder and fierce electricity, the entire Cloud-Thunder Gorge was almost turned upside down, and even Killer Bee, who was the one guiding the ninjutsu, was blasted until he was charred all over.

Uchiha Feiyu, situated in the rift of space, muttered to himself, but he knew very well that while this Lightning Release ninjutsu being strengthened to this extent certainly had a factor of Killer Bee's own technique and chakra, the biggest reason was still the special climate and terrain of Cloud-Thunder Gorge.

Looking at the situation before him, even though Killer Bee had considerable confidence in his intuition, he couldn't help but waver, and even directly asked the Tailed Beast within his body:

"Gyuki, did you notice anything wrong?"

Otherwise, if any random Lightning Release could be strengthened into such a super S-Rank ninjutsu, Killer Bee could go head-to-head with Madara Uchiha!

Scanning the surroundings, Killer Bee did not find anything, but that faint sense of threat still felt like a thin needle pointing at the center of his brow, making him unable to set his mind at ease.

"Strange, weird? Could it be my hallucination?!"

Unfortunately... Killer Bee's tossing and turning were all in vain. If Uchiha Feiyu were still limited to his previous Genjutsu and Camouflage Concealment Technique, he might have really been left in a sorry state or even suffered a minor injury from Killer Bee's move.

Not to mention that Uchiha Feiyu was in the dimensional rift; in this situation, even a Perfect Jinchuriki like Kurama might not necessarily be able to sense Uchiha Feiyu's existence.

And the fact that the jinchuriki is sealed makes Gyuki's intuition far less sharp than Killer Bee's, so naturally, he didn't feel anything.

Hearing Gyuki's reply, Killer Bee did not set his mind at ease; instead, he frowned even more tightly. He did not think he was just being oversensitive; a ninja who could roll on the battlefield for so many years without losing his life definitely has confidence in his own sense of crisis.

Gyuki didn't find anything, and the Lightning Release ninjutsu didn't force the person out; it could only mean that the opponent's concealment method was powerful to a degree that was almost beyond imagination!

Watching Killer Bee's vigilant expression, Uchiha Feiyu couldn't help but feel some admiration. Under such a large gap in strength, even if the opponent hadn't discovered anything, he could still maintain his vigilance; although it was of no use, it still showed his excellence.

"After all, he is the first Perfect Jinchuriki who was able to reconcile with Gyuki and can be said to have opened up the history of the Ninja World. In terms of pure talent, it can be said that he has reached the limit of an ordinary person."

There are only four Perfect Jinchuriki in the Ninja World, namely Yagura, Yugito, Killer Bee, and Uzumaki Naruto.

Yagura, this Perfect Jinchuriki, was likely controlled by Madara Uchiha or Uchiha Obito, both person and beast, which is why he was created. Uzumaki Naruto is simply the reincarnation of Ashura, and Yugito becoming a Perfect Jinchuriki must have drawn on a lot of Killer Bee's experience. It can be said that the value of the three of them combined does not compare to Killer Bee alone.

If Uchiha Feiyu didn't use cheats, even if he reached his potential limit and opened the Mangekyo Sharingan, he probably wouldn't be this guy's opponent... for example, a certain Sunny Sasuke, who was beaten miserably by Killer Bee!

"Unfortunately... who told me I have cheats?"

Space rotated, revealing Uchiha Feiyu's figure. Almost at this very instant, Killer Bee turned into a bolt of lightning, holding two swords and slashing directly over!

Moves like the Seven Swords Style are just entertainment for Killer Bee; if he really wants to go to the battlefield to hack people, it is most convenient and fast to hold one or two swords.

With a clanging sound, following an impact, the two figures separated. Killer Bee's eyes were filled with shock and hatred as he looked at Uchiha Feiyu.

"Uchiha Feiyu—you actually dare to appear in the Cloud Ninja Village!"

Flicking the Kusanagi Sword in his hand casually, Uchiha Feiyu had a smile on his lips as he looked at Killer Bee's two swords—the blades had already been chipped to the size of a grain of rice by the Kusanagi Sword.

The current Killer Bee is the Fourth Raikage, and the two swords he can hold in his hands must be the toughest and sharpest top-tier famous swords, no less than the original Kusanagi Sword.

It is just that the Kusanagi Sword, after possessing the Evil-Breaking Qi, had its quality raised to a higher level, which is why it overpowered those two swords.

"Why wouldn't I dare to appear in the Cloud Ninja Village? What threat could your Cloud Ninja Village possibly pose to me?"

Twirling his sword nonchalantly, Uchiha Feiyu spoke with a faint smile on his face, leaving Killer Bee speechless for a moment.

He is already the strongest ninja in the Cloud Ninja Village, and can even be said to be overwhelmingly powerful—only Yugito, who is also a Perfect Jinchuriki, can barely see his back; the other Cloud Ninja are all a big cut below him in strength.

However, this does not mean that Killer Bee's strength is invincible; it is just because the Third Raikage and his foster brother, who were once on the same level as Killer Bee, have all been finished off by Konoha, or rather, by Uchiha Feiyu!

In this situation, when Uchiha Feiyu said that the Cloud Ninja Village posed no threat to him, Killer Bee had to admit that the other party's words made sense. Even calculating based on the strength Uchiha Feiyu displayed during the Third Shinobi World War, the other party had enough certainty to retreat unscathed under the encirclement of the Cloud Ninja.

Not to mention now, the other party seems to have mastered Space-Time Ninjutsu as well. He didn't think Uchiha Feiyu would waste his time these past few years; on the contrary, in terms of age, this period should be the golden stage for the growth of the other party's ninja strength!

Of course, no matter how wild Killer Bee's imagination was, he couldn't have guessed that in just these few years, Uchiha Feiyu's strength had already skyrocketed to the point where he could suppress the God of Shinobi and the Ninja World Asura; that was simply too un-ninja, it was practically a myth.

"Heh! Anyone can talk big; you should defeat me first before saying anything else!!"

Although he acknowledged Uchiha Feiyu's words in his heart, Killer Bee would not be convinced in his speech; the other party was the murderer who killed the Third Raikage and his own brother, so regardless of what intentions he had in coming here, Killer Bee only wanted to hack him into eight pieces.

Fierce electric light spread out from Killer Bee's body, the dark clouds in the sky trembled once more, and bolts of lightning descended from the heavens, striking Killer Bee's body and pushing his Lightning Release Chakra Mode to an unprecedented peak.

Even though Killer Bee's own physical body would suffer damage under such a powerful Lightning Release Chakra Mode, relying on the continuous support and recovery of chakra from the Eight-Tails Gyuki within his body, Killer Bee could still persist for a dozen minutes or so.

This was a mode that Killer Bee could only unleash at Cloud-Thunder Gorge, one that exceeded his own limits and was even more powerful than a complete Tailed Beast transformation!

Almost in an instant, Killer Bee had already appeared before Uchiha Feiyu, his twin blades flickering with electric light and carrying intense high-frequency vibrations as they slashed straight down!

A trace of a smile appeared at the corner of Uchiha Feiyu's mouth; with his current strength, whether he used Susanoo, the Secret Technique of the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art, or simply his powerful Genjutsu abilities and the various ninjutsu inherent to the Rinnegan, he could easily defeat Killer Bee.

However, facing Killer Bee's Lightning Release Chakra Mode, Uchiha Feiyu's choice was to likewise activate his own Lightning Release Chakra Mode, and mad electric light once again coiled around his body.

Although Uchiha Feiyu had many abilities, what he had truly worked hard to cultivate, and what he was most accustomed to and skilled at, was also the White Fang Sword Technique, which was close to the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

The Kusanagi Sword, shining with white light, collided with the twin blades flickering with lightning; in just a single breath, the two sides' blades had already clashed over a hundred times.

The wild lightning in the sky whistled as it struck down toward the two, but it transformed into the lightning cloaks on their bodies; with the combined help of the favorable timing and terrain, the power of their Lightning Release Chakra Modes increased almost infinitely, with speed, strength, and defense all rising endlessly.

In the end, the two figures could no longer be seen in the gorge at all; one could only see two dazzling electric lights constantly colliding and separating, and the entire gorge was ravaged by the aftermath of the battle until it became flat ground amidst the rumbling sounds, the rocks on the ground flowing like glaze under the lightning, and the rocky cliffs on both sides were also shaken into powder in the endless impacts.

Boom—as the two collided once again, all three blades simultaneously emitted faint creaking sounds of "crack, crack," and Uchiha Feiyu narrowed his eyes, immediately seeing that the Kusanagi Sword in his hand and Killer Bee's twin blades had all developed cracks.

The strength of the Kusanagi Sword was superior to Killer Bee's twin blades, yet Killer Bee's twin blades possessed a layer of intense high-frequency vibration, and because of this, both sides' weapons were unable to withstand the current battle, showing signs of shattering.
