"BZZZT!!"
Aoi grinned broadly as the terrifying white lightning erupted outward like a nuclear blast — yet it expanded at a controlled pace, as if its only purpose was to force the two combatants apart.
"This lightning…?!"
Killer Bee swallowed hard, instinctively sensing mortal danger. If he let his blades continue forward, they would collide head‑on with this overwhelming power.
Even so…
"Except for my brother, no one's lightning is stronger than mine!" Bee roared, coating his three blades in surges of blue lightning.
He tried to repeat the same tactic that had worked so well against Sasuke — countering lightning with lightning.
But…
"I am not someone you can compare to that fool Sasuke," Aoi said with a faint smile and a shake of his head.
I didn't want to hurt you, but if you insist on throwing yourself into harm's way, I won't go easy on you.
CRACKLE‑CRACKLE‑CRACKLE!
The white and blue currents finally clashed violently. To Bee's shock, his blue lightning didn't even last a single second.
The gap between them was like a tiny shrimp swimming straight into the mouth of a whale — it could not cause even the slightest ripple.
Having lost the contest of energies, his blades were instantly knocked away, and the white lightning surged up his body in the blink of an eye.
ZAP!
In just that brief moment, the current seared his hands, turning his skin black and charred.
But then, just as suddenly, the lightning pulled back and slammed hard into the ground beneath them.
BOOM!!
A deafening explosion shook the earth, sending clouds of dust and debris billowing into the air.
When the smoke finally cleared, Bee's arms were already completely healed — a clear testament to the incredible regenerative power of a jinchūriki.
Yet Bee knew full well: he had recovered only because that terrifying child had not used his full strength, and had even withdrawn his attack at the last second.
"What kind of lightning is this?"
Bee frowned deeply. "And is he really only three years old? What kind of monster possesses this level of power?"
As the dust settled, Aoi narrowed his eyes and spoke calmly. "Senior Sasuke — would you like a hand? We don't have much time left…"
The commotion just now would not go unnoticed. Within ten minutes at most, reinforcements from the Hidden Cloud would arrive in Thunderstorm Gorge.
But Sasuke was nothing if not proud…
Even after such a beating, he refused to back down. He lifted his Kusanagi Sword with effortless grace, the red‑cloud cloak fluttering lightly behind him.
"Quiet — I can handle him alone!"
True to his reputation, he remained cool and composed no matter the situation — though he would have looked far more impressive if his hair hadn't been standing on end in a wild, frizzy mess from the earlier shock.
Seeing this, Bee grew more cautious. This Sasuke may be weak and stubborn, but that child standing beside him is far too dangerous…
"I'll have to end this quickly!"
Bee roared as his muscles bulged. Crimson tailed‑beast chakra bubbled and surged out of his body like frothing liquid.
Raw power flooded through him!
As one of the greatest jinchūriki in history, Bee had mastered his beast's power to absolute perfection — and had even formed an unlikely friendship with Gyūki, the Eight‑Tails itself.
Did rapping really bring such harmony between them?
Sasuke's eyes widened as he watched. This was exactly the kind of "cheat" he feared would one day let Naruto surpass him.
Everyone else has a family — why don't I? But you still had your brother…
Everyone else has these overpowered abilities — why don't I? But you still had your brother…
"Damn these unfair advantages!"
In Aoi's mind, he could already picture Sasuke screaming this as he charged once more toward Killer Bee…
