Chapter 455: B Vs Kisame
In a forest at the border of the Land of lightning.
"Tch those damn Konoha bastards!" A punches the trunk of a giant tree.
"Damn that old crafty fox, changing sides like that? Didn't we agree to cooperate to pressure Konoha?" He grits his teeth.
Ehehe
Darui scratches his head.
"Umm Raikage-sama, still it's good news that B-sama is still alive. That Akatsuki leader told so himself."
"Still, I am very pissed at the fact that Bee hid himself and avoided me when I was furiously searching for him. He deserves a nice beating." A cracks his knuckles.
"Let's return to the village. We have to prepare for the war." A and his escort walk towards the Kumogakure.
BOOM
Suddenly, a gigantic explosion occurs in the distance. The entire forest trembles from the shockwaves.
"What what was that?"
A and the rest of the escort group stabilize their footsteps and glance in the direction of the explosion.
Whoosh
A and Darui quickly climb on top of a giant tree to survey the situation while C closes his eyes to sense the flow of chakra.
"What's that giant bubble of water?" A and Darui notice a massive bubble of water covering almost a quarter of the forest.
"Hmm I can see someone floating inside that bubble." Darui narrows his eyes.
"Something orange is floating inside that giant bubble of water! Is that a bear?" Darui spots a giant creature with orange fur inside the water bubble.
"I can also see a few humans inside that bubble. But they are too far for me to notice their appearance." Darui remarks.
"C, how's the situation? Is it an enemy or an ally?" A turn to C.
"It's Lord B. His chakra and eight-tail chakra are mixed within that giant water bubble. Also, I am sensing another sinister mass of chakra on par with a tailed beast inside that water bubble. There are rapid fluctuations in the chakra. Seems like Lord Bee is fighting against someone." C assesses the situation.
"B!"
A scream and dashes in the direction of the giant bubble.
"Let's follow Lord Raikage!" C and Darui also chase him.
"All of you, please return to the village and inform them of the situation." Darui issues a command to the rest of the escort group members.
Whoosh
They quickly flicker in the direction of the giant bubble.
Suddenly,
BOOM
With another loud explosion, the giant bubbles disappear.
"This is bad! A major portion of Lord B and eight-tails chakra disappeared suddenly. I can sense only faint traces of their chakra. Looks like Lord B's life is in danger." An ugly expression appears on C's face.
"BEEE!!"
The Raikage shrouds his body in the lightning cloak and raises his speed by a few notches.
Whoosh
Soon, he disappears from C and Darui's sight.
"Let's hurry! We can't let Raikage-sama and Lord B fight against the enemy on their own. Also, Lord Bee might require medical attention." C and Darui also increase their pace.
At the other end of the forest,
"Looks like this is the end, Hachibi!"
A humanoid shark-like creature with a long tail and a giant protruding dorsal fin on its back walks towards B. The creature has sharp spiky teeth and another two fin protrudes from its arms.
The fins on its body shrink and morph into a human.
"The eight-tails turned out to be rather disappointing, too!"
Kisame slowly morphs back to his original form as he undoes his fusion with the Samehada.
Ugh
B groans in pain as his version 2-tailed beast cloak dissipates.
"B, make a run for it! You are no match for this guy." Gyuki's desperate voice rings in B's head.
'He has absorbed most of my chakra. Any more, and I will be forced into hibernation to recover my chakra.' Gyuki warns him.
'I will pass my remaining bits of chakra to you. Use it to escape from this place. Your Raikage brother is the only person who is capable of handling this guy.'
"I can't kill you yet or else the tailed beast sealed within you will escape. I will knock you out and bring you to the headquarters." Kisame raises his sword to slash B.
Shoom Fwish
B opens his mouth and shoots out a hidden weapon from his mouth.
Slash
A burst of blood splashes in the surroundings as the hidden weapon slashes across Kisame's neck.
"What?!"
BOOM
While the surprise attack distracts Kisame, B uses this opportunity to detonate a few smoke bombs and escape.
'Was that a pencil?' Gyuki mutters in slight shock.
Gah
Kisame wipes the blood from his neck. Samehada wraps around his neck and releases the stolen-tailed beast chakra to heal his wound.
He glances in the direction of B's hidden weapon.
'A pencil whose penetrating power has been increased by high-frequency oscillation generated by the Lightning Style, huh? That's even greater than the wind style's penetrating power. High-speed oscillations indeed!
Although its penetrating power is lesser than the lightning-enhanced ninja tools, he used earlier during our fight; its lethality is increased due to its lightweight. If I had taken a direct hit, it would have left a hole in my neck.'
Kisame cracks his neck.
"But do you seriously think that you can escape from my clutches? Samehada has memorized the scent of your chakra. Like a hungry shark, it will chase after its prey and will gorge on your delicious chakra." Kisame clutches the hilt of Samehada and fuses a portion of its blade into his body.
"It's that direction!" He opens his eyes and dashes towards B's escape route.
A giant raccoon and a person peep out of a nearby bush.
"Will master B be alright? That monster is out for his blood and I am not strong enough to provide any assistance to Lord B. If not for me, Lord B would have won the previous confrontation." The master of the giant raccoon clutches his giant blade.
Whoosh whoosh
B swiftly flickers through the forest using the remaining chakra provided by eight-tails.
"I was almost a goner, Yo! Gyuki, my partner, that wasn't a fight of honor. My instincts are telling me to escape in this direction, so that's the reason why this is my selection!"
Swish
B ducks down and avoids a sharp blade of water. The water blade chops through multiple trees but cleaves a boulder in half.
"I didn't expect you to have enough chakra to make it this far." Kisame licks his lips as he glares at B.
"I can't change you squirming around and entering into your tailed-beast form to escape again. So, I am going to cut off your limbs as a precaution."
Kisame raises the Samehada to slice through B's body.
"KISAMA!"
A furious A leaps out of a nearby bush and tackles Kisame.
"Lightning lariat!"
He coats his body with lightning chakra and slams his shoulder into Kisame's body.
"Nani?!"
A is shocked as Kisame withstands his lightning lariat. The lightning cloak around his body disperses as Samehada absorbs his chakra.
"Nii-san, it's his sword. It can absorb chakra." B warns him.
"Damn you!" A grits his teeth. His muscles expand slightly, and he knocks into Kisame and sends him flying.
BANG
Kisame slams through multiple trees before he stabilizes himself by stabbing Samehada into the ground.
Ptui
He spits out a mouthful of blood.
"That was the pure physical force with no chakra involved. As expected, the Raikage is a monster in terms of physical strength. However"
Kisame cracks his body and charges toward A.
" he is nothing but fodder for my samehada."
Bang
Shockwaves spread across the ground as A and Kisame clash. A clash against Kisame with bare hands. He blocks Samehada's attack with the golden vambraces around his wrist.
"You bastard! How dare you lay your hands on my little brother B?" A infuses lightning chakra into his arms. He clutches Kisame's shoulder and lifts him in the air.
"DIE! LIGER BOMB!"
He releases an extreme burst of lightning chakra and smashes Kisame's head into the ground.
Rumble rumble
A giant crater forms at the point of impact and the ground beneath their feet trembles from the powerful shockwaves. Kisame's body limply falls to the ground as he let go of Samehada.
C and Darui also reach the spot at the exact moment.
