"Yo yo — so we've got some powerful uninvited guests dropping by?"
Wearing his strange goggles, Killer Bee waved his hands and launched into his signature ninja‑style rap: "Though today's weather seems pretty fine…"
Aoi and Sasuke exchanged glances, both looking confused. What kind of rap is this? It's more than a little odd…
Still…
"You are Killer Bee, the Eight‑Tails jinchūriki?"
"Yo yo — that's right, it's me, the great Killer Bee!"
Rap had become such a natural part of his daily speech that it made anyone listening want to grab him and give him a good beating.
But Sasuke, ever the proud and stoic warrior, remained completely unfazed by Bee's verbal barrage.
Without a word, he drew his Kusanagi Sword and charged forward, his expression cold and determined.
His red‑cloud cloak sliced through the air like a streak of shadow, and the blade glinted with sharp, icy light. On his handsome face, only killing intent remained…
Coolness defined — in every sense of the word!
Unfortunately, the very next moment…
"Seven‑Sword Style: Wild Heron Slash!"
Killer Bee gripped all seven of his blades in a seemingly awkward and contorted stance.
Though it looked clumsy, Aoi knew better: once the fight truly began, those blades would spin at blinding speed, stinging like a swarm of enraged hornets.
This was exactly why Killer Bee was known far and wide as the Hornet of Death.
Clang‑clang‑clang!
Eight blades clashed in rapid succession, the continuous ringing of metal making it hard to follow their movements. For a moment, the battle hung in a deadlock.
"Better pick up the pace, Sasuke," Aoi called out with a grin. "Those bothersome Cloud ninja will be here before long…"
"Quiet!"
Sasuke remained as arrogant as ever. His three‑tomoe Sharingan spun slowly, granting him superior reaction speed.
He spotted an opening and drove his blade forward like a striking viper, aiming straight for Bee's throat.
Clang!
But no matter how sharp his vision was, it meant nothing before pure speed.
Killer Bee moved faster, intercepting the strike with one of his hornet blades. In the same instant, Sasuke left himself wide open — and paid the price.
Thud!
Just as in the original story, the blade moved beyond what the Sharingan could track, sending Sasuke flying backward through the air.
"Need a hand, Sasuke‑kun?"
Aoi caught him gently and smiled, narrowing his eyes.
"Stay out of my way!!"
Sasuke pushed himself free, lightning crackling across his palm. He was preparing to unleash his signature technique — the Chidori.
Seeing this, Aoi's smile grew wider. Trying to show off lightning techniques right here in the Land of Lightning?
Sasuke really is something else — does he think the name of this country is just for show?
Crackle‑crackle‑crackle!
Blue lightning wrapped around the Kusanagi Sword, and Sasuke charged again, blade raised high.
Clang!
The two weapons collided in a contest of raw force.
It looked as though Sasuke's Chidori‑infused strike would soon overpower its opponent — but Killer Bee suddenly grinned, and his own blue lightning surged in intensity, easily matching and holding back Sasuke's attack.
From childhood onward, Bee had trained alongside the Fourth Raikage, A, perfecting their signature Double Lariat.
In terms of controlling and refining active chakra, he was far beyond anything Sasuke could achieve at this stage.
"Dance now — like a butterfly in flight."
Killer Bee's body twisted into an unnatural, fluid motion. The six blades still at his side flickered and struck out.
"Eight‑Tails Style — Strike like a hornet!"
SHING!
Three blades shot forward with a piercing whistle, aiming directly for Sasuke's chest.
If they connected, Sasuke — without Karin or Jugo nearby to save him — would be dead on the spot. But…
"Not quite yet."
Aoi moved like a phantom, slipping between the two fighters in an instant. He shook his head with a faint smile.
"That blond fool hasn't even shown up yet — Sasuke can't die before then."
"White Lightning Armor!"
Aoi threw both hands open, and a surge of blinding white lightning erupted outward like a nuclear blast, washing over the entire area and draining the world of all color.
