Chapter 277: Run, Eight-Tails, Run!

Funan, with his arms crossed over his chest inside the Susanoo, said mockingly: "Come on, Bee! Is that all you have? With that strength, do you really think you can save the Raikage?!"

Killer Bee gritted his teeth and said, "Funan, let go of my brother. We can negotiate."

Funan sneered. "Zehaha! Bee, if we were in opposite positions and you were me, tell me… Would you let him go?"

Killer Bee remained silent.

He didn't need to put himself in Funan's shoes to know the answer. If anyone were to cause trouble in Kumogakure, he would kill them without hesitation.

But when the one in danger is his own brother... he can only pretend to be stupid.

"Old Eight, are you ready?"

"Bee... Do you really want to do this?"

"Besides this, do you think I have any other way?"

"I'm sorry, Bee, but I think this will only make him angrier."

"No matter what, go ahead!"

A thunderous roar echoed through the air as Killer Bee's body began to transform.

Funan's eyes narrowed. "A full Tailed Beast transformation?"

From his tailed beast form, Killer Bee spoke in a firm voice, "Funan, on behalf of Kumogakure, I promise you that if you free my brother, we will be your most loyal allies in the future."

Funan couldn't help but smile at those words. "Bee, even if you offer me the sky and the stars, I won't let go of the Raikage."

"Alas!" Killer Bee sighed and said, "Funan, you forced me to do this!"

His pupils turned cold, filled with suppressed ferocity. But strangely, his gaze was not focused on Funan...

But in Konoha, in the distance.

Seeing this, Funan's expression also became cold.

"Bee, I agreed to leave the village out of respect for you. You said that if I lost, I would release the Raikage and I agreed. Now tell me, what are you trying to do?!"

Killer Bee closed his eyes for a moment and then replied, "Funan... Kumogakure cannot lose its Raikage."

"Summoning Technique!"

A thick cloud of smoke appeared and with it...

Another Eight Tails!

Funan was stunned.

"Tailed Beast Ball!"

The two clones began to release the Tailed Beast Ball at the same time.

[Boom!!!]

A blood-colored magatama hit one of the Eight-Tails heavily, and then Funan controlled Susanoo and pounced on the other Eight-Tails, fighting with him.

[Bang! Bang!]

Two bursts of smoke and the two beasts disappeared.

They were actually Shadow Clones.

No, they should be Tentacle Clones!

There were two octopus tentacles on the ground.

Funan's eyes immediately turned to the side.

There, another Eight Tails was condensing a Tailed Beast Ball.

And not just one...

From another place, another Eight-Tails also appeared!

"Zehahaha!"

Funan laughed. He stared at the Eight-Tails and said, "Yes, use your tentacles to create clones and release the Tailed Beast Balls to Konoha, so that I will admit defeat and release the Raikage, right?"

Killer Bee's cold voice sounded: "If you don't accept, I will attack Konoha! Tell me, Funan, what will happen to your village if it receives this attack?!"

Funan's gaze turned indifferent. He stared at the Eight-Tails and said, "Do you really want to do this?"

"Funan... Sometimes, we shinobi have no other choice."

Funan nodded slightly and a strange smile appeared on her face. "Well said. As a ninja, as an Uchiha, as a Hokage..."

"Sometimes I don't have a choice either!"

He began making seals with his hands. His voice became soft. "Bee... Please don't die."

"What?"

[Boom!!!]

A huge monster with a height of 100 meters appeared in front of Killer Bee, staring at him coldly.

Killer Bee raised his head and looked at the giant in front of him, muttering: "How is it possible? How could it be so..."

"Zehaha..." Funan's low laughter came. He looked at the eight-tailed beast and muttered, "Come on, Killer Bee, remember what I just said, don't die."

The huge Susanoo pulled out the sword on his waist...

...

The mountain was split in two.

The giant trees were cut in half.

Rocks crashed against fallen logs.

The ground was riddled with deep craters, so deep that you couldn't see the bottom.

A large number of Konoha shinobi frantically rushed towards the scene.

When they arrived, they only saw Funan walking calmly towards them.

"Hokage-sama! This..."

"The Eight-Tails." Funan said coldly. "He came here to cause trouble. I put him in his place, but unfortunately he managed to escape."

The Konoha shinobi were stunned.

The Hokage had fought the Eight-Tails?

They looked around. The landscape looked like it was the end of the world.

Was it possible for a shinobi and a tailed beast to cause so much destruction?

Many shinobi trembled in fear.

"Okay, let's go back!" Funan said calmly: "Do what you need to do. It's just a small matter. It's not worth making a fuss!"

Konoha shinobi: "..."

Is this a small matter?

"Hokage-sama, should we pursue the Eight-Tails?" The ANBU members appeared before Funan.

"It's not necessary." Funan looked at the direction the Eight-Tails had escaped in and let out a cold laugh. "There's already someone following it. If they still can't catch it, then it would only prove how incompetent they are."

The next time he saw Brother Obito, he would definitely rub it in his face.

The shinobi exchanged glances. Was someone chasing him?

…

"Huff, huh!"

Killer Bee panted heavily as he moved with difficulty.

Suddenly, his legs gave out and he almost fell face downwards but managed to brace himself against a tree.

"Old Eight, are you okay?"

"You and I are connected, whatever you feel, I feel too. Worry about yourself!"

"Sorry!"

Bee sighed, noticing the frustration in the Eight-Tails' voice.

Suddenly, Killer Bee's body tensed.

The Eight-Tails called out in his consciousness space.

"Bee, be careful!"

"I know!" Killer Bee yelled and jumped up suddenly.

[Boom!!!]

Several sharp logs pierced the ground where he was a moment ago.

"Is this...?" Bee's eyes widened.

The Eight-Tails screamed in fury inside his mind. "Wood Release! It's that masked man! Bee, be careful!"

A masked man slowly emerged from the ground, coldly watching Killer Bee.

"Eight Tails... As expected of a perfect Jinchuriki. You managed to escape by cutting off your tail and you even tricked me. But tell me, what will you do this time?"

Killer Bee shouted: "Yo, yo, does this master need to cheat? I'm going to give you the blow, I'm going to finish you, yeah!"

The tailed beast's chakra began to pour out of Bee's body, forming a layer of chakra around him.

Bee roared, opening his mouth to form a Tailed Beast Ball and throwing it at Obito.

Obito was unmoved and stood quietly. His Kamui connected him to another dimension. He didn't care about these kinds of attacks.

[Boom!!!]

The Tailed Beast Ball created a large crater after the explosion.

"Obito!" Zetsu suddenly shouted. "The Eight-Tails fled."

Obito frowned and quickly looked in the direction of the Eight-Tails.

The Eight-Tails that had launched the Tailed Beast Ball transformed into a tentacle, while the Eight-Tails was gone.

Obito: "..."

Zetsu said cautiously: "He ran away again. The Eight-Tails is really cunning. He ran away without saying a word after encountering it just now."

"He won't get far," Obito said coldly. "I have another surprise prepared for him."

A loud bang echoed in the distance.

Zetsu sensed the chakra. "Kisame? It's him!"

Obito said calmly: "Nagato is starting to lose control. We need more powerful chess pieces."

Zetsu thought about the relationship between Obito and Kisame, nodded, and said: "Kisame is indeed a very good candidate."

"Let's go and see!"

The two went to the place where the battle took place.

As soon as they arrived at the place, they saw Kisame knocking Killer Bee to the ground with one punch.

"Hey, hey, hey... Tell me, Madara, is this guy really the one who ran away from you twice?" Kisame let out a mocking laugh. "The Perfect Jinchūriki? What a disappointment."

"Don't underestimate him." Obito spoke indifferently. "Among all the Jinchuriki, he is without a doubt the strongest. Not even the Nine-Tails can compare to him. He is the only shinobi who has managed to completely master the power of his tailed beast."

"Alright, whatever you say." Kisame spun his giant sword, Samehada, and began poking Killer Bee's motionless body with the tip. "What do we do with him now?"

"Let's go back—"

[Pfft!]

Suddenly, Killer Bee's body exploded in a cloud of thick black smoke.

Obito, Kisame and Zetsu were stunned.

Zetsu muttered under his breath, "Did...did he poke it until it exploded?"

Obito turned his head, glared at him fiercely, and gritted his teeth and said, "I was fooled again. The damn Eight-Tails actually ran away again."

Kisame's face was not good either.

"What should we do?" Zetsu said embarrassedly, "The Eight-Tails must have run back to Kumogakure. We..."

"We'll go straight to Kumogakure to find him," Obito replied coldly. "Konoha and Kumogakure are about to go to war. The Eight-Tails will definitely participate in the battle, so we'll have a chance to capture him."

"Okay!" Kisame gritted his teeth.
