Chapter 256.1: ‘A’ And ‘B’ Uniting, Best Military Tactics

Notes:

Killer B’s eight-tailed beast, Hachibi, is called Gyuki. It has four long horns on its head, similar to that of a sheep. Similarly, the nine-tailed beast is called Kurama

In the distance, the Cloud ninjas pushed the battle line to the narrow entrance of the battlefield and stopped. Sandaime Raikage stood in front of the crowd with his hands folded in front of his chest. He looked at Konoha’s formation and asked in a confident voice, “Is that the yellow-haired brat who blocked you two?”

Quasi Yondaime Raikage ‘A’ clenched his fists tightly. With reluctance written all over his face, he replied, “Yes, that fellow knows time and space ninjutsu, and he is very slippery.”

Killer B waved his hands. He strengthened his chest and rapped, “Yo yo, very slippery… Can’t hit him, can’t hit him, ya ya, maintain the rhythm.”

Sandaime Raikage narrowed his eyes slightly and moved his gaze to Uzumaki Kushina. He then asked, “Is that red-haired female ninja Konoha’s jinchuriki from the information we received?”

Killer B clenched his fists and stretched out his arms. In his rhythmic style, he answered, “Oh… jinchuriki, just like me, a jinchuriki… Gyuki, this fella, he is ready, ready to start wiggling.”

Sandaime Raikage touched his chin with his hand and said in a deep voice, “You two proceed first. If you cannot defeat them, I’ll make a move.” Quasi Yondaime Raikage ‘A’ was already impatient for some time now. On receiving the instruction, he immediately rushed forward and shouted, “Let’s go, B!”

A crimson-colored chakra erupted all over Killer B’s body. He dashed after ‘A’ while strangely calling out, “Yo, maintain the rhythm.”

Over at Konoha’s side, seeing the same two old opponents rushing over, Namikaze Minato, who was standing on the head of Gamabunta, glanced at Kushina. He firmly instructed, “I’ll lead this, you bring up the rear.”

Immediately afterward, he threw dozens of specially made kunai with both hands and shouted, “Everyone, retreat, don’t get injured accidentally.”

The moment the kunai fell to the ground, Minato disappeared from where he was and in a flash reappeared right in the center of the battlefield. ‘A’ and Killer B looked at each other and together used their moves in a well-practiced way.

“Lightning Style – Double Lariat!”

“Lightning Style – Double Lariat!”

Boom… The two attacked Minato from the front at the same time. But in an instant, Minato disappeared again and appeared on the other side of the battlefield.

“Damn it! This fellow is too troublesome.” ‘A’ was so angry that his eyes were wide open. It was exactly like this every time they faced each other. They couldn’t hit this person at all. At this time, ‘A’ used his muscle brain to formulate the best strategy he could think of for this battle.

“B, let me fight with him. You go and deal with that nine-tailed jinchuriki.” As soon as he said this, ‘A’ rushed towards Minato. “Lightning style – One Finger Assault.”

“Yo yo, Gyuki already can’t hold it back anymore.” After yelling this out, Killer B’s body was covered with a red-tailed beast cloak. He turned into a fiery red light and rushed towards Kushina, who was standing on top of Gamabunta’s head.

Gamabunta held the samurai sword at his waist a little nervously and asked in a deep voice, “Kushina, do you need my help?” Kushina was circulating chakra within her body at this moment. She speedily made hand seals and said, “No need, I’m better at dealing with tailed beasts. After all, I’m an Uzumaki descendent.”

She clapped her hands and shouted, “Adamantine Sealing Chains.” In the next instance, countless thick golden chains emerged from her back and attacked the oncoming Killer B.

Seeing the attack, Killer B’s eyes condensed. He dodged from left to right to avoid the golden chains chasing after him while closing the distance between him and Kushina. However, mid-way, the chains blocked him successfully. And before he could struggle, they bound him tightly like flexible snakes.

“What the hell is this awful thing? Yo yo… is this bondage, yo yo.” Killer B struggled hard to free himself. Six tails appeared from his tailed beast cloak, and the beast cloak turned into Gyuki’s outline but it was still of no avail. At the same time, Killer B in the tailed beast cloak muttered, “Is the Nine-tails suppressed by this thing? It’s so difficult to deal with it.”

There was a spiritual link between tailed beasts. The nine-tailed beast Kurama in Kushina’s body said in a deep voice, “Hachibi, it seems you have submitted to the ninja. You have thrown away the dignity of the tailed beasts. It’s truly infuriating.”

Eight-tails retorted, “Killer B and I are partners, but you and your jinchuriki are not the same. I never thought that I would meet you again. And now that I have, you are in such a miserable state.”

This sentence stimulated Kurama’s self-esteem. He tugged the golden chains that bound his body and furiously shouted, “Kushina, beat him.” Kushina’s red hair was fluttering as she was controlling the chains. With a smug expression on her face, she replied, “I wanted to do that for a long time.”

In the next moment, the free golden chains twisted together, turning into an even bigger chain, and ferociously slammed toward Killer B. Bang… The crimson bullhead was immediately beaten to one side.

Seeing Gyuki being taught a lesson, the rage in Kurama’s heart dissipated a little. He then said in a cold voice with some good intentions, “I just happened to be restrained here. I advise you that it would be better for you to go fight with that yellow-haired kid. This thing especially restrains tailed beasts. Your jinchuriki is as stupid as you.”

Gyuki within Killer B’s body suddenly became angry and roared, “Damn it! Today, I’ll let this fox see my true strength.”
