Watching the Eight-Tails struggle, Sora let out a disdainful laugh. "Heh. Ninjas will be Ninjas. If only the Ninja Academy extended its education a bit longer, you wouldn't be so illiterate."
"Don't you know, Killer B, the water you usually drink isn't pure water. It contains all sorts of trace elements and microorganisms."
"Only when all these things are removed does water become true water, pure water, or what you might call distilled water."
"And distilled water does not freeze!"
The water Sora created using his Reiatsu was, of course, as pure as pure could be!
"Distilled water doesn't freeze?" Hearing Sora's words, a look of confusion appeared on the Eight-Tails' face.
Clearly, neither B nor Eight-Tails knew what distilled water was.
Seeing this, Sora shook his head again and offered his assessment: "Hopelessly illiterate!"
"Whatever. Freeze." Sora swung Hyorinmaru.
With the infusion of Reiatsu, the originally cold, pure water began to transform!
The next moment, under Gyuki's horrified gaze, the water enveloping him began to freeze, inch by inch, forming an enormous prison that trapped B within!
In an instant, Gyuki's massive body was completely encased in ice, like a small insect trapped in amber!
Except the insect in amber was dead, while the one in the ice was alive.
Inside the ice, B anxiously asked the Eight-Tails: "Gyuki, what do we do?"
Feeling the bone-chilling cold surrounding them, a ruthless expression flashed across Gyuki's face. "Don't be afraid! I have a way!"
Then, under Sora's somewhat surprised gaze, the Eight-Tails began its maneuver.
It first contracted its tentacles to their limit, reducing the deadlock of the Thousand Year Ice Prison's grip, then began channeling Chakra into each individual tentacle.
With a ratio of two parts Yin Chakra to eight parts Yang Chakra, several small, black spherical Chakra Polymers condensed on the Eight-Tails' tentacles.
"Are you planning to fire Tailed Beast Bombs at point-blank range?" Watching the Eight-Tails' actions, Yuki Sora looked on with interest.
He reminded them: "But my Thousand Year Ice Prison isn't something a Tailed Beast Bombs can break, you know?"
"I know that!" The Eight-Tails snorted heavily. "But you never know until you try!"
"Fire!"
Eight small Tailed Beast Bombs shot forth from the Eight-Tails' tentacles.
Small Tailed Beast Bombs sounded a bit like the Arrancars' Bala, a sort of degraded version of the Cero.
But Sora knew these weren't that. Any Tailed Beast Bomb, no matter how small, as long as it was a mixture of Yin and Yang Chakra in a 2:8 ratio, was still a Tailed Beast Bomb.
It was like a nuclear bomb… only the yield differed.
Thus, the eight Tailed Beast Bombs detonated right beneath the Eight-Tails!
Boooooom-
Muffled explosions sounded continuously through the Thousand Year Ice Prison!
However, just as Sora expected, no matter how the Eight-Tails bombarded with its Tailed Beast Bombs, Sora's Thousand Year Ice Prison remained completely unmoved.
Instead, under the explosions of the Tailed Beast Bombs, the Eight-Tails' own limbs were bearing the attack, the intense pain twisting its bovine features!
"Are you okay, Gyuki?!" B shouted concernedly in his mind.
"I'm fine!" The Eight-Tails said. "And it's not over yet!"
Externally, the Eight-Tails suddenly let out a great roar.
Then Sora saw the Eight-Tails' eight thick tentacles simply... break off!
However, it wasn't just breaking off… it was an explosion!
Boooooom-
Detonating its own tentacles, this explosion was no longer muffled like the small Tailed Beast Bombs, but brilliantly loud and clear!
Seeing this, Sora was slightly surprised.
Because this situation undoubtedly meant his Thousand Year Ice Prison had cracked!
Sure enough, the next second.
Crack
A tremendous sound erupted as the massive ice prison capable of freezing the Eight-Tails crumbled piece by piece from the air and fell!
Simultaneously, the Eight-Tails shouted in its mind:
"Now, B!"
"Yosh! Behold the combined technique of me and Gyuki, Yuki Sora! You idiot, you fool!"
With his strange rap, B formed hand seals in unison with the Eight-Tails in his mind!
Vast amounts of Chakra were channeled into the Eight-Tails' body, into a special organ.
A certain liquid rapidly generated and multiplied within that organ.
Then, B and the Eight-Tails shouted together: "Ninja Art: Ink Creation!"
Sora could clearly see the Eight-Tails' cheeks rapidly inflating, as if using some Toad Technique.
Then, when the cheeks swelled to their limit, the Eight-Tails forcefully spat, ejecting a vast, overwhelming cloud of pitch-black octopus ink!
Just as Sora prepared to use Hyorinmaru's power to simply freeze this ink...
To Sora's astonishment, the moment the ink was ejected, it began to naturally sublimate!
The ink transformed from liquid to gas!
Then, just like when the Second Hokage performed the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique, the world plunged into darkness, so thick he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face!
Sora could even distinctly perceive that even his senses were being compressed!
