Killer Bee slowly crawled over towards Mitsuen, and as Gyūki moved, the ground trembled slightly. He approached Mitsuen's thin body like a chicken before a tiger, walking casually. Mitsuen could be easily trampled to death with just one foot.
"You die for me!" Killer Bee yelled, and the huge body of Gyūki quickly turned around. The eight massive tails swept toward Chao Yanqian like a broom.
Whoosh!
He threw a marked kunai towards Gyūki, and at the moment it flew close, he teleported to it and pressed his hands on Gyūki's body.
[Flying Thunder God Technique]
In an instant, most of the chakra in Chao Yanqian's body vanished, even the chakra stored in the [Yin Seal] was nearly exhausted. Using Gyūki's tail as a medium, Killer Bee was teleported to Kumogakure with Chao Yanqian.
Long-distance teleportation with a massive creature like a Tailed Beast consumed an enormous amount of chakra. At this moment, Chao Yanqian could barely maintain Sage Mode even the diamond-shaped mark of the [Yin Seal] was slightly dim.
"Here it is?!"
Seeing some familiar surroundings, Killer Bee muttered in confusion.
"This is Kumogakure but it has been destroyed by me," Chao Yanqian said lightly, standing atop Gyūki's massive body.
"What!? This is Kumogakure?" Killer Bee exclaimed, quickly turning to look around.
Sure enough, it was Kumogakure. The only difference was that it had become a wasteland. The ground was shattered and pitted, and the once-towering peaks were reduced to piles of rubble.
When he destroyed Kumogakure, Chao Yanqian didn't know how many [Chakra Enhanced Strength] punches he had thrown. In short, as long as any structure remained standing, he would strike it down.
Under the devastating force of his [Chakra Enhanced Strength Fist], Kumogakure looked like it had endured a massive earthquake, all the buildings collapsing into ruins.
"You bastard! I must kill you!" Killer Bee roared wildly, staring at him with murderous eyes as he began forming a Tailed Beast Ball.
"If you want to unleash a Tailed Beast Ball here, I'd be delighted to see it," Chao Yanqian said with a smirk.
"Asshole! Damn it!" Killer Bee growled, quickly dissipating the Tailed Beast Ball. He glared at Chao Yanqian, eyes burning with hatred.
"If you want to kill me and avenge the Fourth Raikage, then let's fight right here," Chao Yanqian said with a smile.
"Damn it! AHH!! I'll kill you!" Killer Bee screamed to the sky, swiping a massive hand at him, which was easily dodged.
The fate of the Fourth Raikage was uncertain, and the village lay in ruins. Killer Bee had lost any desire to joke. Were it not for the risk of further destruction, he would have unleashed the Tailed Beast Ball to obliterate Chao Yanqian on the spot.
Chao Yanqian jumped atop a pile of rubble, waved mockingly at Killer Bee, and said in a relaxed tone, "Come on! Didn't you want to kill me? Use your best technique!"
"That's… Gyūki! Lord Killer Bee is back!" Not far away, a group of shinobi and villagers clearing debris from Kumogakure suddenly saw the monstrous figure. At first stunned, they quickly cheered once they recognized the Eight-Tails.
As the younger brother of the Fourth Raikage and the Jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails, Killer Bee inspired both fear and respect in the villagers of Kumogakure.
Especially now, with their beloved village in ruins, they longed for news of their loved ones and comrades still fighting at the border with the Land of Fire. The sight of Killer Bee returning ignited hope.
They rushed to him. One Kumogakure ninja asked excitedly, "Lord Killer Bee! Has Lord Raikage returned too?"
"Big Brother… Big Brother… He…" Killer Bee choked up at the mention of the Fourth Raikage. After collecting himself, he glared at Chao Yanqian and shouted, "Bastard! This is all your fault! Why did you do this!?"
"If you hadn't started the war, this wouldn't have happened," Chao Yanqian said with disdain. "Call it self-inflicted."
Following Killer Bee's gaze, the Kumogakure shinobi finally saw the one responsible for their village's destruction was Chao Yanqian.
"You demon! How dare you show your face in Kumogakure!" a Kumogakure ninja shouted.
"Haha! Why wouldn't I dare? Because of people like you?" Chao Yanqian sneered at the crowd, then looked at Killer Bee and said indifferently, "Your Lord Killer Bee wants to kill me to avenge your Raikage. So I brought him to the perfect battlefield his home turf. He should be able to fight at full power here. Eight-Tails Jinchūriki!"
Chao Yanqian's constant provocation made Killer Bee tremble with rage. The fury inside him was barely contained but he had to hold back.
Because this was Kumogakure. If a battle broke out here, the villagers and shinobi would be caught in the crossfire.
Seeing Killer Bee calming down, Chao Yanqian dusted off a rock and sat down.
"If the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki won't fight, then I'm leaving. There are still plenty of Kumogakure shinobi waiting for me on the battlefield," Chao Yanqian said with a smile.
There was no guarantee the Fourth Raikage had survived, but Chao Yanqian was determined to teach Killer Bee a harsh lesson.
Even without Gyūki's power, Killer Bee was already at Kage-level. Once fully transformed, he became extremely difficult to handle.
Therefore, Chao Yanqian had to ensure that Killer Bee and all of Kumogakure understood this message: If you provoke Konoha, your village will be reduced to rubble.
Only then would Kumogakure yield to Konoha.
Though his chakra was nearly depleted, and Sage Mode would last only ten more minutes, he could still unleash a few large-scale techniques before the chakra stored in the [Yin Seal] was exhausted.
That didn't stop him from threatening Killer Bee. Although Killer Bee was clever yet simple-minded, his reasoning was overtaken by rage.
"You bastard! All of you get out of the way!" Killer Bee roared, directing his words at the surrounding Kumogakure shinobi.
"So you're finally going to fight?"
Chao Yanqian stood up excitedly, dusting himself off. With a mysterious smile, he added, "Oh, I almost forgot once I start fighting, I won't care if other shinobi or villagers get caught in it. We're at war, after all. You understand, don't you? Eight-Tails Jinchūriki!"
