"Nine-Tails Jinchuriki? You fool, you idiot!"
Bee was shocked by the news, and deep crimson Tailed Beast Chakra surged around him, emanating an ominous and malevolent aura.
Actually, Bee really wanted to ask Eight-Tails why Kushina's use of Tailed Beast Chakra was different from his own. They were both Tailed Beasts. His was the Eight-Tails, and Kushina's was Nine-Tails. Logically, the difference shouldn't be too great, they were only one tail apart.
Yet, judging by the Chakra, they were completely different. Her Chakra lacked the malice, hatred, and destructive intent of the Eight-Tails. Instead, it was filled with vitality and a unique sense of sacredness.
While Bee's thoughts were racing, Kushina had already reached him and threw a punch. Bee quickly raised his arms and clasped them together to block.
However, his action made Kushina sneer. Did he think he could stop her?
It wasn't something he could easily do.
Moreover, there were differences between Jinchuriki. Terrifying Chakra gathered in Kushina's right fist, and the moment it touched Bee's arm, a terrifying burst of Chakra exploded, slamming into his arm.
With the sudden burst of powerful Chakra, Bee's body was sent flying backward by the immense force. Bee flew dozens of meters, crashing heavily into the tall mountain behind him, causing the solid cliff to indent around him, forming layers of cracks.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Bee looked at his arm.
For a moment, he felt like his arm was going to break.
This woman's strength was even greater than his older brother's. As for who was stronger between her and the Third Raikage, Bee couldn't make an assessment yet.
"Thanks for that just now." Killer Bee knew that if Eight-Tails hadn't surged with more Chakra to help him, he might have been crippled by now.
"Bee, be careful. Her strength is far greater than ours." Eight-Tails looked nervously at Kushina nearby.
It really wanted to have a good chat with Kurama. If Kurama was being forcibly controlled, then Kurama should resist now, and it would cooperate. With an inside-outside attack, it might be possible to help Kurama break free from the Jinchuriki's seal.
However, what Eight-Tails never expected was that in response to its private "harassment," Kurama directly refused, giving off a 'don't touch me' vibe.
In Kurama's heart, both Kazuki and Kushina were the Sage of Six Paths's successors. Kazuki might even be the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths's Chakra. Although Kazuki had never admitted this, Kurama could understand.
The Sage of Six Paths had not completely died, his soul had always been in the Pure Land. Kurama had learned this from Kazuki and the others.
But so what?
That didn't mean the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths's Chakra couldn't appear.
He believed that the souls of Indra and Asura had long since gone to report to the Pure Land, but wasn't their Chakra still continually reincarnating?
Clearly, Kazuki was the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths's Chakra. Kazuki just didn't know it himself.
Moreover, Kazuki and the others had already killed an Ōtsutsuki and later even wanted to hunt other Ōtsutsuki.
Who else but the Sage of Six Paths could accomplish such a feat?
Undoubtedly, Kazuki was going to protect the Ninja World, and weren't they, the Tailed Beasts, also a part of the combat power protecting the Ninja World?
Kazuki merely wanted Kushina to fuse with a portion of Eight-Tails's Chakra.
As long as it wasn't too excessive, it seemed there was no problem, right?
Not killing Eight-Tails outright, Kurama felt that Kushina had already shown mercy.
Kushina now was no less powerful than Asura and Indra in their time, and this was only a short while after her bloodline had awakened. If Kushina was given enough time, reaching the Sage of Six Paths's level wasn't impossible.
Dealing with Eight-Tails was a piece of cake, wasn't it?
"I know, now I need to stall until my older brother and the others arrive." Bee struggled to his feet.
"But I need more of your power."
"But your body..."
Eight-Tails hesitated, wanting to cooperate with Bee, but its Chakra was more than Bee could fully withstand at the moment.
"There's no other way. If I don't do this, I'm dead for sure. It wouldn't be hard for them to kill me."
Although Bee often seemed unreliable, his wisdom in battle was quite excellent. He was even more outstanding than his older brother.
"Alright then, if you can't bear it, I'll rein in my power." Eight-Tails finally agreed to Bee's request.
As Eight-Tails's Chakra was continuously released, the originally fiery red Tailed Beast Chakra surged forth.
One tail... two tails...
Soon, eight tails appeared behind Bee.
At this moment, Bee seemed to have transformed into a miniature Eight-Tails, like a primordial beast. He let out a long roar, opened his gaping maw, and incredibly terrifying Chakra gathered in his mouth, forming a black energy sphere, a Tailed Beast Ball, which he fired towards Kushina.
If One Tail were to see this scene, it would probably cry with envy.
It wasn't easy for Shukaku to use a Tailed Beast Ball, unlike Kurama, who used it without restraint.
However, in the face of Bee's attack, Kushina neither dodged nor avoided. The golden Chakra in her hand grew even more vibrant. She grabbed the Tailed Beast Ball fired by Eight-Tails and then threw it back towards Eight-Tails.
This scene left Bee dumbfounded. A Tailed Beast Ball could be grabbed and thrown back?
Boom!
Fortunately, Bee had some combat experience. He quickly and deftly dodged the Tailed Beast Ball that was thrown back. The Tailed Beast Ball landed on the nearby mountainous terrain, unleashing a terrifying wave of Chakra. The huge mountain collapsed into ruins from that single blow.
"Then, let you taste mine too." Kushina flashed, rapidly approaching Bee.
A Rasengan-sized Tailed Beast Ball gathered in her hand, and she pressed it against Bee.
Bee quickly controlled his tails to block the Rasengan.
