Killer Bee turned his head, his gaze beneath the sunglasses finally shifting toward Aokawa not far away.
Standing in front of Aokawa, the expressions of Kakashi and the other two instantly froze, their palms sweating.
The next moment!
Killer Bee's figure abruptly vanished from the spot, charging forward like a cannonball fired from its chamber.
"He's coming!" Uchiha Inabi barked in a low voice.
The three instantly dispersed in a triangular formation, meeting the attack with Kunai and short swords.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Three dense sounds of clashing metal rang out almost simultaneously.
The moment they clashed!
Kakashi felt an unparalleled pressure surge from the short sword in his hand; the webbing of his thumb instantly tore, and he was nearly sent flying by the force.
His heart shook with shock.
Is this the person who was just fighting Aokawa?
An Aura of this magnitude was something he had only seen in his childhood when his father faced enemies.
Unlike his father's incredibly sharp Aura, the person before him possessed a profound, heavy depth.
He had originally thought that since his injuries had recovered significantly, he could at least stall for a while.
But the moment they engaged, he knew he wouldn't last long.
Uchiha Inabi and Asuma Sarutobi were in equally bad shape; their attacks were repelled by a massive force the instant they touched Killer Bee.
With just one encounter, the three knew they were not even in the same Rank as their opponent.
They looked at the figure wearing sunglasses, waves of shock rolling through their hearts.
Only now did they truly experience firsthand what kind of monster Aokawa had been facing.
"Yo! Too weak! Are Konoha Ninjas only at this level? It's really disappointing, ya fool! Ya idiot!"
Killer Bee struck a comical pose, his rapping tone filled with contempt.
Just then, two sharp sounds of breaking air echoed from the forest.
Two figures leaped out from the trees, landing steadily in front of Kurenai Yuhi and the others. They wore the attire of the Hyuga Clan, and their eyes were a pure white.
It was Hinata Iruha and Hyuga Ryosuke. They had seen the distress signal from afar with their Byakugan, but the distance was too great, so it took some time to arrive.
"Ryosuke!" Kurenai Yuhi's face lit up with surprise upon seeing the newcomers.
Their gazes swept across the wounded scattered on the ground, finally landing on the figure in the center emitting an ominous Aura.
When they clearly saw the vast amount of Chakra within Killer Bee's body and the ominous Aura radiating from it, their pupils constricted violently:
"That's a Tailed Beast... Jinchuriki?!"
"It seems we're in big trouble," Hinata Iruha said with a solemn expression.
Hyuga Ryosuke saw Kakashi and the other two struggling to hold their ground against Killer Bee's onslaught not far away.
He then caught sight of Aokawa behind them, clutching his arm; his anxiety and shock were beyond words.
He exchanged a look with Hinata Iruha, no longer hesitating.
"Let's go!"
The two charged out simultaneously, joining the fray.
Five Konoha Ninjas launched a coordinated siege on Killer Bee from five different directions.
For a moment, blade light, fist shadows, and Fire Release intertwined, creating a grand spectacle.
Facing the five-man siege, the corners of the mouth beneath Killer Bee's sunglasses curled into an arc.
"Yo! Two more added! Does having more people make a difference? Yo! The game ends here, ya idiot! Ya fool!"
He dropped his hip-hop expression, and a Crimson Chakra Cloak suddenly erupted from his body.
His figure turned into an afterimage, instantly appearing before Asuma Sarutobi and Hyuga Ryosuke.
It was just a simple punch and a kick.
Bang! Bang!
The two were hit as if by a battering ram; the dull sound of bones cracking came from their chests as they spat blood and were sent flying, completely losing their ability to fight.
"Eighty Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms!"
Hinata Iruha closed in, striking at the Chakra points on Killer Bee's body. However, as soon as his fingers touched that layer of Crimson Chakra Cloak, he was repelled by a massive counter-shock force, causing intense pain in his finger bones.
"Is that just a tickle? Oh Yeah!"
Killer Bee threw a back-elbow, striking Iroha square in the abdomen. The latter let out a muffled groan and slumped to the ground.
Kakashi's Chidori and Uchiha Inabi's Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique arrived almost simultaneously, yet they couldn't even break through Killer Bee's Chakra cloak before being dispersed by the violent energy.
Killer Bee seized this opening, his figure vanishing once more.
Kakashi and Uchiha Inabi only felt a blur before their eyes before being struck by a massive force, falling to the ground one after another.
In just a few breaths, the five-man joint siege was completely dismantled.
The Battlefield fell into a dead silence once again.
Everyone's hope was crushed to pieces at this moment.
On the other side of the Battlefield, Aokawa was oblivious to the tragic scene outside.
All of his focus was immersed within his own body.
A dense green Chakra light flared brilliantly, covering his collapsed left chest.
Under the internal vision of his Byakugan, countless Chakra Threads as thin as hair acted like the most skillful weavers.
They wove and wound between his broken bones, forcibly pulling the displaced bones back into position.
Following this, the Palm Immortal Technique Chakra began to promote bone fusion and fixation at the fractures.
That twisted and deformed left arm was also covered in green light, with cells accelerating their regeneration.
At this moment, his body was like a precise large-scale factory: Chakra Threads aligned the bones, the Palm Immortal Technique healed the fractures, and Rantō Tenkū intertwined into tough threads wrapped around the two bone segments for secondary reinforcement.
The pain brought by this level of treatment far exceeded ordinary imagination; every piercing of a Chakra thread felt like a red-hot needle being driven into his bone marrow.
But there was no other way.
Even with Rantō Tenkū, he had to perform preliminary treatment on the fractures, otherwise he wouldn't be able to withstand Killer Bee's immense power at all.
Veins bulged on Aokawa's forehead, and cold sweat soaked his hair, but he never let out a single groan.
He had to be fast! Even faster!
After easily dealing with the five people, Killer Bee cracked his neck and locked his gaze on the Byakugan youth who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground from start to finish.
"Yo, you're the only one left. Your comrades have all fallen; it's time to send you on your way, ya fool! Ya idiot!"
His figure instantly vanished from the spot.
The next moment, he appeared before Aokawa, the Ninja Blade in his hand raised high, slashing down fiercely toward Aokawa's head!
"Aokawa!" the Konoha group shouted in desperation.
Just when everyone thought it was all over.
That right hand, which had been emitting green light, suddenly swung upward.
A Spirit Blade radiating blue-white light appeared out of thin air in Aokawa's palm, precisely parrying Killer Bee's full-force slash at an incredible angle.
Clang—!
The piercing sound of metal clashing rang throughout the Battlefield.
Sparks flew wildly at the point where the two blades met.
Killer Bee's eyes widened slightly beneath his sunglasses.
This kid... weren't his arm bones broken?
How is this possible?!
