*Bang!!*
Just as the spiral lance was about to strike down, an unknown attack landed on Susanoo, causing a violent explosion.
The Susanoo controlled by Lexon shook, and the attack of the spiral lance stagnated.
*Tailed Beast Ball?*
Lexon was about to turn his body in puzzlement to look in the direction the attack came from, but before he could fully turn around, another pitch-black Tailed Beast Ball struck.
He didn't sit still and wait for death. Instead, he mobilized chakra to spin the spiral lance in his hand, pointing the spinning tip of the lance precisely at the incoming Tailed Beast Ball.
Another explosion rang out.
The dust kicked up obscured the towering figure of Lexon's Susanoo.
Another Tailed Beast Ball flew in.
As if they cost nothing, a Tailed Beast was constantly firing Tailed Beast Balls.
The dust was blown away by the strong wind brought by the incoming Tailed Beast Ball.
But after the dust cleared, Lexon's figure was gone.
"It's you..." The dark green figure of Susanoo appeared in another location. Lexon, inside the crystal on its forehead, spoke as if realizing something upon seeing the creature firing the Tailed Beast Balls.
That creature firing the Tailed Beast Balls was none other than Matatabi, transformed from Yugito Nii's complete Tailed Beast transformation!
She was glaring at Lexon, teeth bared, the azure flames on her body burning constantly.
*How did she get out?*
Lexon was a little puzzled.
After being imprisoned by his Adamantine Sealing Chains, it wasn't something one could break free from easily.
Even the Nine-Tails, Kurama, couldn't break free... Although Kurama was only half a Kurama, half a Kurama was comparable to or even stronger than the Two-Tails.
So Lexon could be certain that relying on Matatabi and Yugito themselves, they could not break free from his Adamantine Sealing Chains.
*Kurama couldn't break free, yet Matatabi and the Jinchuriki did...*
*Did someone help them...?*
Lexon thought to himself.
*By the way, where is Kakuzu?*
Lexon then remembered Kakuzu, whom he had instructed, "I'll leave the hostage to you."
*Both the Two-Tails Matatabi and Yugito broke free... then Kakuzu must be in a bad spot.*
*Is he really dead this time?*
Thinking this, Lexon caught a glimpse of a person being stepped on by the foot of the Tailed Beast-transformed Yugito out of the corner of his eye.
He looked closer.
*Okay... it's Kakuzu.*
*Looks like he's not dead yet.*
Although the distance was far, Lexon's Rinnegan had excellent vision, and he easily saw Kakuzu's chest still rising and falling with breath.
*But his condition doesn't look too good.*
*Because he's been turned into a human stick.*
*All four limbs have been torn off.*
*The fact that he can still linger on like this makes Lexon admire this old man a little.*
*So who helped the Two-Tails and Yugito?*
Lexon quickly observed the opponent's surroundings and then discovered... an octopus tentacle.
Under Lexon's gaze, that octopus tentacle gradually expanded and swelled, finally freezing in the form of the Eight-Tails Gyuki.
"Fool guy~ bastard guy~~ fell for it, right! Yeah~"
That was obviously the Tailed Beast-transformed Killer B. Facing Lexon, he posed with his hands in a strange rap gesture and spoke in a peculiar tone.
Lexon turned his head to look at where the tottering body of Killer B had been just a moment ago and found that only an octopus tentacle remained in that place.
*Tentacle Clone Technique, huh...*
Lexon knew of this jutsu of Killer B's. It was a high-level clone technique used with a severed octopus tentacle.
In the original story, Uchiha Sasuke, who joined Akatsuki and was responsible for capturing Killer B, was deceived in this way, catching a tentacle and bringing it back to complete the mission.
*When was that? When was the octopus tentacle dropped? If it was during the earlier confrontation, I should have noticed.*
Lexon pondered.
*Could it be an octopus tentacle placed on Kakuzu long ago?*
*That is indeed possible.*
"Your companion has been caught by us, yo! If you don't want him to die, be obedient and surrender! Surrender! Surrender! Yeah~" Killer B twisted his massive body and shouted.
"You are very strong; we are not confident we can defeat you. But your partner has been caught by us. If you want him to be okay, I advise you not to resist too much," the Tailed Beast-transformed Yugito added.
"Uh..." Lexon was at a loss for words, then asked with a confused look: "Why do you think I care about that?"
"..."
"..."
Yugito and Killer B fell silent simultaneously and looked at each other.
"Release your current ninjutsu, or I'll kill him!" Yugito raised her cat claw burning with blue flames, aimed at Kakuzu's mutilated body, and threatened Lexon to release Susanoo.
However, a second passed... two seconds... ten seconds... thirty seconds...
A minute passed, and there was still no change in Lexon.
He didn't release the ninjutsu; instead, he looked at Yugito and Kakuzu as if looking at mentally retarded people.
The air seemed to fall silent.
Lexon didn't speak, Yugito didn't speak, Killer B didn't speak, and Kakuzu couldn't speak because he had fainted long ago.
Then Yugito silently lowered her raised cat claw.
"What's wrong? Not killing him?" Lexon asked.
"..." Yugito pretended not to hear and didn't answer.
*You must be joking. How can we easily kill a guy from the enemy camp we managed to capture alive? Shouldn't we take him back for a grand interrogation package first?*
"Then I'll continue," seeing the opponent make no move, Lexon took the initiative to say he was going to continue fighting.
"Lord Killer B... what should we do?" Yugito lowered her voice and said to Killer B beside her.
"Ah~ stall! The village must have noticed the commotion here, yeah~! Just stall until the village's support arrives! Yeah~" Killer B also replied in a low voice.
"I don't care what you're discussing, and I'm not interested." Lexon maneuvered Susanoo to slowly raise the spiral lance in its hand.
The dark green light on the long lance seemed to become even more dazzling, and invisible strong winds twisted in mid-air.
He drove his chakra to surge into the spiral lance, and the light emitted by the lance intensified.
The spiral lance began to spin. Every rotation produced a fierce piercing sound, and the speed gradually increased... until it was invisible... The spinning lance seemed to turn into a natural disaster-like tornado, fixed on Susanoo's right arm, emitting a trembling aura.
"That's a bit bad... B..."
"Careful... Yugito..."
The two Tailed Beasts conveyed messages to their Jinchuriki internally at the same time.
*Use Tailed Beast Balls.*
Killer B gave Yugito a look.
Yugito understood immediately and nodded slightly.
Extremely dense Tailed Beast chakra gathered simultaneously in front of the open mouths of the two Tailed Beast-transformed Jinchuriki.
The amount of chakra condensed this time was obviously much more than the amount infused into the previously fired Tailed Beast Balls.
It could be considered mobilizing Tailed Beast chakra to a large extent.
The sky, which had been clear, seemed to sense the commotion below. Dark clouds gradually emerged and gathered.
The clear sky became slightly dim, as if heavy rain were about to fall.
"Spiral Lance Kill." (Yasaka Magatama variant/Spiral Lance technique)
Flat words fell.
The dark green tornado was thrown by Lexon, destroying all matter it touched on its path, blasting toward Killer B and Yugito.
And Killer B and Yugito's super-large Tailed Beast Balls also shot out, rushing toward the dark green tornado.
The two collided.
All the dark clouds were dispersed in an instant by the colliding power, and the sky returned to being sunny.
