Killer B finally understood why the duel between Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara could alter the landscape and destroy the terrain.
A single swing from that massive cleaver would likely level a mountain.
And since Senju Hashirama was even stronger than Uchiha Madara, his ninjutsu were likely on a world-ending scale.
The gap between him and those two was truly night and day.
Even though he was the powerful Eight-Tails Jinchūriki.
Inside the massive Susanoo, Ryōsuke felt his current state.
He felt as if the Susanoo were an extension of his own limbs, easily controlled.
He swung the blade toward the Eight-Tails ahead.
The momentum was terrifying.
He intended to drag the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki, Killer B, out from within.
To do that, he first had to slice open the Tailed Beast's form.
Seeing the attack, Killer B was practically paralyzed with fear.
'Why does it feel like I'm a lamb for the slaughter?'
Dodging such a close-range strike was impossible; he could only control the Tailed Beast's arms to block the blow.
He had no other weapons.
The blade collided with the arms, but there was no stalemate.
The weapon sliced clean through the Eight-Tails' body.
In an instant, the Eight-Tails was split in two, revealing the Jinchūriki inside.
However, Ryōsuke controlled the massive cleaver, forcing it to a halt just as it touched the ground.
If he continued the strike, he feared the move would split the entire island and harm the turtle beneath it.
Even though he stopped, the air pressure from the swing still weighed heavy on the ground.
It kicked up a violent gale.
The storm even fanned the flames of the burning trees.
Seeing Killer B inside, he fully activated his ocular power, unleashing a Sharingan genjutsu.
He stared directly at Killer B.
To control Killer B, he had to control the Tailed Beast within him.
He had to prevent the beast from interfering and breaking the genjutsu on its host.
Since Obito could do it, his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan could do the same.
Not to mention, his ocular power had been enhanced several times.
In terms of raw ocular strength, he was at least stronger than Uchiha Madara.
Using his dōjutsu with full force, he didn't just target Killer B; even the Tailed Beast within was caught in his gaze.
The Eight-Tails inside Killer B couldn't believe it; he could clearly feel the Sharingan genjutsu being cast.
Even though he was deep within the body, he was still affected.
This brat's ocular power was simply too immense.
He had no power to resist as the pattern of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan appeared in his eyes.
His consciousness began to fade.
At the same time, Killer B fell under the genjutsu, unable to move as his chakra ceased to flow.
Without the support of chakra...
The full Tailed Beast Mode dispelled.
The massive body vanished like smoke.
He plummeted from mid-air and crashed heavily onto the ground.
Ryōsuke was satisfied with the result.
Now, there was no one left to help Killer B break the genjutsu.
He dispelled the Perfect Susanoo.
Descending from the sky, he landed firmly on the ground.
The Eight-Tails Jinchūriki was under control; it was time to leave.
He grabbed Killer B off the ground and headed toward the coast.
Just then, the Cloud Village ninja carved a path through the flames and rushed forward.
They were terrified of this man; the giant monster he summoned was far too horrific.
Much scarier than a Tailed Beast.
Their hearts were chilled with fear.
But they had no choice; they couldn't just stand by and watch him take Killer B away.
They shouted one after another.
"Let Killer B go!"
However, their voices lacked conviction.
Looking at the Cloud ninja, Ryōsuke gathered his ocular power once more and activated a Sharingan genjutsu.
He glared at them.
Instantly, the defenseless Cloud ninja lost control of their bodies, their eyes turning dull.
Thud.
One by one, they collapsed to the ground.
Ryōsuke didn't bother struggling with these ordinary ninja; a single genjutsu was enough to handle them.
These people had already notified the Fourth Raikage, who would likely arrive soon.
After all, the Cloud Village possessed space-time ninjutsu as well.
It just wasn't as convenient as his own.
This wasn't a good place to extract the Tailed Beast, so he picked up Killer B and headed for the distant sea.
He needed to return to the mainland and find a hidden spot to begin sealing the Tailed Beast.
Meanwhile, the Fourth Raikage received the news from Turtle Island and was beyond shocked.
Uchiha Madara, who was supposed to be long dead, had supposedly been resurrected and was attacking Killer B on Turtle Island to seize the Tailed Beast.
What was that guy planning?
Now wasn't the time to worry about that.
He immediately ordered his subordinates to perform the Heavenly Transfer Technique to send him to Turtle Island.
He had to go alone.
The requirements for using the Heavenly Transfer Technique were extremely strict.
One had to possess an incredibly tough body.
Otherwise, the technique would tear a person to pieces during the transfer.
Upon arriving at the island, he saw the trees engulfed in flames.
Some Cloud ninja were using Water Style to extinguish the fire.
He had a bad premonition.
Why was there no sign of Killer B?
Some of these Cloud ninja had been knocked out by Ryōsuke, while others had rushed out from the base to put out the fires.
As for the Cloud ninja who had pursued him on the shore, Ryōsuke had only used ordinary genjutsu on them, leaving them paralyzed for a few minutes.
Seeing the Fourth Raikage, one of the ninja immediately ran over.
"Lord Raikage, Killer B has been kidnapped!"
Panic flared in the Fourth Raikage's heart. He grabbed the man by his clothes and demanded,
"Was it really Uchiha Madara's doing?"
"Where did he take him?"
The Cloud ninja honestly recounted everything that had happened.
The Fourth Raikage was stunned as he listened.
A colossal fireball jutsu.
And that impossibly massive Susanoo.
Larger than even a Tailed Beast.
Was this truly Uchiha Madara's doing?
All the evidence pointed toward him.
Damn it. Even if it was Uchiha Madara, he couldn't be allowed to take his brother and extract the Tailed Beast.
His cousin Fukai had already died because of Orochimaru's plot to extract his Tailed Beast.
Not to mention, the Tailed Beasts were the village's most vital weapons of war.
"Immediately send a telegram to the village. Order every ninja not on a mission to start searching the entire country for a man named Uchiha Madara!"
Upon receiving the order, the Cloud ninja immediately headed to the base to send the telegram.
Left alone, the Fourth Raikage looked out at the vast ocean.
Trying to find Uchiha Madara in this endless sea would be incredibly difficult.
But if it really was Uchiha Madara, perhaps he could ask Konoha for help.
Though requesting Konoha's aid was a bit humiliating.
The Cloud Village had suffered a crushing defeat at Konoha's hands recently; there wasn't even a need for a peace treaty after the war.
They simply weren't worried about the Cloud Village starting another war.
Facing such a reality, the Fourth Raikage had no choice but to accept it.
That man was simply too powerful.
But they would likely be interested.
Because Uchiha Madara was a rogue from Konoha.
Konoha would surely be very concerned about him.
After all, Konoha had once been attacked by Uchiha Madara controlling the Nine-Tails.
If Senju Hashirama hadn't been strong enough, the village might have been destroyed back then.
Though asking Konoha was a disgrace, he couldn't leave his brother to die.
Staring at the vast ocean, he decided to search for a while; perhaps with enough luck, he would run into them.
Before leaving, he helped extinguish the flames.
He was shocked by how terrifying the fire was, having burned nearly the entire island.
