"What… You're saying you sensed a terrifying chakra from this kid in front of us?"
Killer B was momentarily stunned by the Eight-Tails' words, looking a bit confused. He blinked. "Are you sure you're not mistaken? You are a tailed beast, after all."
"Idiot! The one who's mistaken is definitely you!"
"I didn't sense any chakra from this kid. You must be imagining things!"
"Yo, you're not still hallucinating, are you? Focus, my partner, wake up. We still have to fight together!"
Although Killer B didn't underestimate Genya, he was honestly speechless at what the Eight-Tails had just said.
Could this Uchiha kid in front of them really possess chakra comparable to the Eight-Tails?
Ridiculous.
The Eight-Tails was a tailed beast. In the ninja world, beings with more chakra than it could probably be counted on one hand—and most of them were long gone.
Killer B didn't believe the Eight-Tails' words, but… he looked at Genya with a more serious and cautious gaze.
"You don't understand. I can sense overwhelming chakra from this kid. My body is trembling!"
The Eight-Tails seemed to notice that Killer B might not believe him, and added again, "My body is mostly composed of chakra, so my perception of it is extremely clear. Just… be careful!"
Killer B nodded. "I get it. But I'm not going to let him be stronger than us and just roll over!"
At this moment, Killer B's eyes fixed on Genya, and his fighting spirit began to ignite.
If the Eight-Tails hadn't spoken, he might not have been this excited. But after hearing those words, he was even more eager to battle Genya.
"Genya… Did you do this?" Kurenai looked at the bodies lying on the ground. Even though she was a bit bewildered, she could already guess that Genya was likely responsible.
Yet, she had no idea how Genya had done it—silently, without a trace, these shinobi had met their deaths.
It was simply unbelievable.
"Sensei, I did say I'd make sure you all returned safely to Konoha!" Genya said with a calm smile. Then he gestured for Kurenai to step back as he sensed a sharp, intense chakra.
Following the feeling with his gaze, he saw Killer B watching him. Beneath his sunglasses, his eyes seemed to sparkle with keen interest.
"Little Uchiha kid, Gyūki said your chakra is even more than mine. I don't believe it!" Killer B met Genya's gaze, though his tone carried more disdain than challenge.
"As a jinchūriki, no one has more chakra than me. Today, I'll show that foolish Gyūki—its prediction is wrong!"
With that, Killer B swung his fist toward Genya at incredible speed, the force sharp and overwhelming.
Chakra swirled around his fist, making it even denser and more powerful.
"You don't believe me? Heh. Seems like you're still no match for your own tailed beast!" Genya watched Killer B charge, a smile curling at the corner of his lips.
"I'll give you this chance—I hope it will make you want to see me unleash all my chakra in battle!"
This time, Genya didn't use the Shinra Tensei. Instead, he met Killer B's movement head-on, throwing his own punch as Killer B's fist fell.
Chakra surged through his body as well!
But Genya's chakra felt sudden, almost abrupt, and it was mixed with raw taijutsu.
Boom—
Fist clashed against fist, the ground trembling beneath them.
The earth they stood on began to crack and collapse under the sheer force.
"This—"
Kurenai, stepping back to a safe distance, widened her eyes. Feeling the surrounding chakra fluctuations, her face was filled with astonishment.
Genya possessed such overwhelming chakra.
And the amount of chakra he had now exceeded that of an ordinary jōnin.
She had only known that Genya could perform some basic ninjutsu before, but now she realized she had seriously underestimated him.
Genya was hidden too deeply.
Bang~~
At that moment, Killer B's body was sent flying backward, sliding dozens of meters across the ground.
He carved a deep trench into the earth.
Within the trench, traces of chakra lingered, but they flickered only twice before vanishing into the air.
"Your strength is too weak!" Genya's cold voice rang out. "If this is all you've got, then stay right here!"
A perfect Jinchūriki, yet with such limited power, was a bit disappointing to him.
"You idiot! Just now I was careless!" Killer B scrambled to his feet, even though the chakra cloak still wrapped around him.
"You little Uchiha brat… my power isn't something you can compare with… huh, I think I just thought of some fitting lyrics!"
Muttering to himself, Killer B suddenly pulled out a pen and started jotting down his thoughts!
"My power is unmatched, I look down on you like an ant, oh yeah…"
"No, no… you're just an ant, indeed."
Killer B seemed focused on making his lines sound smooth, completely oblivious to Genya.
"Hehe. You're daydreaming while fighting me? Looks like the pressure I've put on you is still too little!"
Genya's voice suddenly whispered in his ear, and immediately a palm came crashing down.
"Ouch! Hey, that's unfair!" Killer B looked down just in time to see Genya's hand coming at him while he was busy writing lyrics, forcing him to use chakra to block it.
At the same time,
A massive octopus-like tentacle shot out, shielding his body!
Bang~
With a muffled crash, Killer B was once again sent flying backward.
"Uchiha brat, you have no sense of honor! You've really angered me!"
Killer B glared at Genya, his face burning with barely contained rage.
"You interrupted my flow, now you must be punished!"
"Come out, Gyūki!"
Killer B stood up, slowly raising one hand.
Around him, red chakra swirled.
Then, one by one, enormous octopus-like tails burst from his body—one, two, three… eight!
"Uchiha brat, your arrogance ends here. Now, face soul annihilation!"
"This is my true form!"
"A perfect Jinchūriki!"
"Just a monster. Take a good look—Jinchūriki transformation, YEAH~!"
As his chant continued, Killer B fully entered his tailed beast state.
A monster with an ox's head and octopus tails, and massive hands as large as giants connected to his body.
His enormous form resembled a demonic god, making Genya appear incredibly small beneath him.
Huff…
Steam of white mist hissed from the ox-like nostrils.
"Foolish brat, are you scared of my magnificent form?"
Killer B said, then swung his gigantic hand toward Genya.
A massive shadow spread, engulfing the entire area.
