"Can we handle this?" Watching the charging Eight-Tails, Kakuzu dragged his exhausted body and asked Lexon beside him.
"Didn't you fight the God of Shinobi once...? What does a mere Eight-Tails count for?" Lexon said with a calm expression, even teasing him.
Kakuzu's face darkened.
'Can we not bring that up right now?'
"If we can't solve this, let's retreat temporarily... catching one Jinchuriki is already enough," Kakuzu suggested, ignoring Lexon's remark and following his own train of thought.
The Eight-Tails and his Jinchuriki were obviously much more troublesome. Kakuzu felt there was no need to force a confrontation if they weren't confident.
"We've already caught one; might as well catch the other while we're at it."
Lexon rejected Kakuzu's suggestion.
He had signed in the Two-Tails' chakra; how could he miss out on the Eight-Tails?
He tossed Yugito, whom he was carrying on his shoulder, to Kakuzu and said, "I'll leave the hostage to you."
Kakuzu caught Yugito without a word and then ran backward, intending to distance himself from Lexon and the Tailed Beast-transformed Killer B.
If Lexon fell, he could grease the soles of his feet and slip away directly.
Killer B, charging toward Lexon, was suspicious when he saw Kakuzu taking the unconscious Yugito away.
'Is their target the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki...?'
However, at the same time, he felt slightly relieved.
Earlier, when Yugito was with these two guys, he thought it would be troublesome if they used her as a hostage to restrict his movements.
'I didn't expect this person to face me alone...'
Killer B's massive bull eyes fixed their gaze tightly on the tiny figure below.
'A guy who can take down Yugito... cannot be underestimated.'
"B, crush him!" The Eight-Tails Gyuki's impassioned voice rang in Killer B's mind.
"Oh!!!" Killer B also let out an excited sound.
Facing the massive monster charging at him, Lexon's face was incomparably calm.
'How should I fight this enemy...'
He pondered in his heart.
'Adamantine Sealing Chains are only highly effective in small spaces...'
'In an open area, the speed of the chains can't keep up with the opponent; I won't be able to seal him.'
'It would be useless except for wasting chakra.'
'Treat Killer B the way I treated Yugito?'
'Obviously not possible.'
'The opponent is a true perfect Jinchuriki; there are no gaps to break into his mental space.'
'Then let's drive the Gundam again...'
'Ah right, can I activate Susanoo using the Rinnegan?'
'It seems possible... Uchiha Madara seemed to have done so during the Fourth Great Ninja War...'
'I currently hold the Mangekyou Sharingan. Although there are no signs yet, it is true that using pupil techniques excessively will cause blindness.'
'But using the Rinnegan to activate Susanoo seems to come with no strings attached.'
'However, in the original story, Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Madara evolved their eyes step by step to be able to activate Susanoo without using the Sharingan.'
'I don't know if I can do it...'
'Let's try.'
In the instant he made the decision, and while Lexon was thinking, Gyuki had already closed in on him. Just as the massive fist was swung down with violent force...
Lexon's eyes abruptly turned into the blood-red Mangekyou Sharingan.
'Susanoo.'
He chanted silently in his heart.
The moment the pupil technique was unleashed, the Mangekyou Sharingan with its spinning, wicked four-pointed blade pattern gradually turned purple. The pattern faded, and ripples emerged.
Immediately, Lexon's eyes transformed into the Rinnegan.
However, even though his eyes changed from the Mangekyou Sharingan to the Rinnegan, the pupil technique Lexon unleashed did not stop.
He could feel the ocular power belonging to the Rinnegan flowing continuously, and the chakra within his body surging along with it.
Solid-like dark green chakra emerged around Lexon, suddenly condensing into an incredibly tall figure.
This time, the Susanoo did not stop at a half-body form but condensed into a complete humanoid shape.
Its stature was so tall that it appeared even more massive than the Tailed Beast-transformed Killer B...
It was clad in samurai-like armor, looking incomparably strong, and its arms still held a spiral lance.
It was approaching a Complete Body Susanoo!
However, compared to the Complete Body Susanoo that would have derived from the final stage of Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan, it lacked a pair of wings, and the Tengu mask that would essentially be on its face was also absent. Instead, there was a mass of twisted dark green chakra on its face.
Because Lexon suddenly manifested Susanoo, Killer B missed his target. The punch intended for Lexon slammed violently onto the instep of Susanoo's foot.
But this punch didn't even cause the towering Susanoo to sway in the slightest.
'What is this thing?'
Killer B looked up in astonishment, his gaze instantly meeting Lexon's, who was looking down at him from a crystal on Susanoo's forehead.
"B! Watch out!" Gyuki suddenly shouted in his mind.
'What?!'
Just as Killer B reacted, a dark green leg, twice the size of his own arm, whipped toward him.
Bang!!
Even the Tailed Beast-transformed Killer B couldn't negate the power conveyed by the leg. He was instantly whipped away, crashing into the ground like a meteor and sliding out a deep trench.
After manipulating Susanoo to whip Killer B away with a kick, Lexon didn't take the opportunity to chase and attack. Instead, he examined the body of his Susanoo.
'Has it evolved...?'
'It's stronger than the state with the Mangekyou Sharingan. It's not the Complete Body Susanoo, but it's not far off; it just lacks wings.'
'And... using the Rinnegan to activate and pilot Susanoo indeed doesn't deplete the lifespan of the eyes.'
Lexon sensed the changes in his eyes and realized this point.
'Doesn't that mean I can drive the Gundam whenever I want in the future?'
Learning this information, Lexon felt a little delighted.
After all, driving a Gundam was quite fun.
Suddenly, a terrifying chakra fluctuation appeared.
It was Killer B.
At this moment, dense Tailed Beast chakra was gathering and condensing in front of Killer B's open mouth.
He wanted to fire a Tailed Beast Ball to blast Lexon.
But just as the Tailed Beast Ball took shape, a dazzling green light flashed, and the towering figure of Susanoo appeared impressively in front of Killer B.
The dark green arm waved quickly, delivering an effortless slap.
That Tailed Beast Ball was actually slapped forcefully into Killer B's wide-open mouth by Susanoo's palm.
'What??!'
The opponent's speed was too fast. It wasn't until the Tailed Beast Ball entered his mouth that Killer B reacted, shocked to his core.
Bang!
The Tailed Beast Ball, having become unstable from the strike, instantly exploded inside Killer B's mouth.
Although the power of the Tailed Beast Ball exploding in the mouth was not as great as a fully released launch, its lethality could not be ignored!
With his own Tailed Beast Ball exploding in his mouth, even with Killer B's Tailed Beast body, his spirit couldn't help but go into a trance. His body swayed, seemingly on the verge of collapse, like a drunkard, with black smoke billowing from his mouth continuously.
"Going to faint, are you..." murmuring as he looked at the Tailed Beast-transformed Killer B, who was a size smaller than himself.
Immediately, the spiral lance in Susanoo's other hand was raised and thrust down.
