Chapter 33 - Go Through It

After their deal was made clear, Hiruzen and Tsunade both tried talking Sukuna out of it. But they could tell quickly that he didn't listen. 

Hiruzen sighed and said, ''Since we can't stop either of you, we might as well start it off with that. Since it isn't safe for you two to fight on the stage, Konoha's Intelligence Team has technology to create a screen for the attendees to watch to have them act as witnesses as well'' 

A's eyebrows perked up as he was reminded how far Konoha's technology was in front of their own, ''I agree'' 

''Sound good to me'' Sukuna smiled as he disappeared out of the arena followed by Killer Bee. 

… 

[Everyone, due to some complications. We have stalled the Chuunin Finals and instead will show a friendly spar between both village's Jinchuuriki] 

''Jinchuuriki? Naruto, are you fighting someone?'' Sakura turned towards Naruto who pointed at himself in confusion, ''Not what I know'' 

''Then who.....'' 

Many people were confused as the Mizukage hadn't taken her Jinchuuriki's with her. Besides, they didn't have a relationship with their Tailed Beast like Killer Bee did. 

So that left only Konoha's Jinchuuriki.... 

But since Naruto was still just standing among the group of participants, who was it? 

It didn't take long for a large screen to be created above the stage. Showing the moving Sukuna and Killer Bee away from the village with the telescope of Konoha. 

''Sukuna?'' Hinata said with an uncertain tone as her expression paled before she hastily ran towards the VIP area where her father sat. 

'This is all my fault!' Hinata had tears in her eyes as she ran away under the confused looks of her friends. 

''What is wrong with her?'' Sakura asked as Ino sneered, ''This is why nobody likes you, you're so obsessed with Sasuke that you don't know anything that happens around you'' 

''What the hell did you say bimbo?!'' Sakura said angrily as she looked at Ino in anger who sneered once more, 

''She is engaged to that stud you moron, everyone knows that about now. Besides, Kumo has proposed to Hinata's younger sister. But we all know what they are really after'' 

Sakura gave her a death glare as she huffed, ''So what! At least I'm consistent of who I love'' 

''Loving and liking someone is different you brainless donkey. Besides, I only think his looks are perfect. I don't even know him!'' Ino said as she looked at the screen where Killer Bee and Sukuna came to a stop at a mountain valley. 

''Heh, it's not like you will ever get close to him anyway. You look like a mangled fish'' Sakura said sarcastically which caused Ino to turn towards her, 

''Atleast my mom didn't take nine months to make a joke'' 

''Take nine months to make a joke? what do you mean?'' Sakura asked with a confused expression to which Ino didn't say anything and merely grabbed a mirror out of her pocket and showed it to Sakura, 

''Huh? What do you me-…... INO YOU BITCH!'' Sakura yelled and attacked Ino who had already disappeared. 

… 

''Tsunade, what is the meaning of this?'' Kurenai asked with a cold glare, clearly not caring that her strength was behind the woman. 

''It's his choice'' Tsunade simply replied as she looked at the screen. 

''So what! He is a child! He is fighting a grown man that has been connected to the Tailed Beast for decades!'' Kurenai said with clear anger in her voice. 

''You clearly don't know much about him'' Tsunade said nonchalantly as Kurenai gritted her teeth and wanted to say something, but the Mizukage interrupted her from behind, 

''Now, now, no ordinary child can lead a clan. The Senju Clan has grown tremendously over the last few months, how about you trust him a little'' 

''My apologies Mizuk....'' Kurenai wanted to apologize for her outburst, but Mei stopped her, 

''Don't worry about it, but place some trust in the child. It seems like your relationship isn't ordinary'' Mei teased which made Kurenai blush lightly as she sat down next to Tsunade. 

''Aaah... If only he was a few years older, he would've been perfect....'' Mei's soft voice made both Kurenai and Tsunade shudder as they looked at her in shock. 

… 

''It's nothing personal child'' Killer Bee said as he stood opposite of Sukuna and apologized, he didn't want to fight a child. But with the Tailed Beast, their village would grow by leaps and bounds. 

Sukuna didn't say anything and unsheathed his sword as his body began being covered in blue Chakra. 

''It seems that you're not the talkative one'' Killer Bee said with a bitter smile as his body began to morph, eight squid-like tails appeared behind him as he unsheathed his sword that flickered with lightning. 

'Isobu, compared to the Eight Tails, how powerful are you?' Sukuna asked as Isobu replied, 

[About 60%, but with how you can control my power, we're pretty even] Isobu confidently replied confidently as excitement filled his voice. 

Despite his maturity, it seemed that he was pretty competitive as well. 

''Good'' Sukuna's voice fell as Killer Bee appeared in front of him, swinging two of his swords at Sukuna who raised his own sword to parry the attack. 

As their swords clashed, Sukuna's feet sank into the ground as a cold look entered his face. Bee didn't hesitate as two of his tails shot towards Sukuna's stomach and legs. 

One of Sukuna's own tails moved in front of him as spikes shot out from them, drawing blood from Bee's tails. 

Bee's expression didn't change as two more tails shot towards Sukuna while he himself cut towards Sukuna's waist. 

Sukuna's sword stabbed into the ground as he launched himself up from the hilt of his sword before flipping forward and punching towards Bee who hastily used three tails to block Sukuna's fist. 

Once the three tails acted as a shield, Bee felt the massive impact shake his organs as he sank in the ground. He gritted his teeth as he let go of one of his sword and punching out towards Sukuna's stomach. 

Seeing the incoming attack, Sukuna's grinned and slashed out with his sword, not towards Bee, but his three retreating tails! 

As Bee's fist hit Sukuna's stomach, all three tails of Sukuna wrapped around his arm as he Sukuna stopped him from withdrawing his arm. 

Bee hastily used all his force to take his arm back and wanted to retreat, but it was already too late as Sukuna's sword shimmered with lightning as it cleanly sliced through the three tails. 

''Kgghh'' Bee gritted his teeth as he forcefully used one of his other tails to hit Sukuna on his chest as he was flung away. 

Sukuna crashed into one of the mountains and created a small crater. 

Bee looked at the three cut in half tails as he sighed, this child was more exceptional then he thought.... 

[Bee, keep paying attention. It isn't over] 

Bee was confused for a second and wanted to retort, until the dust settled... 

… 

''Kurenai-san, can you stop crying already?'' Tsunade asked with a bitter smile. 

''I..i'm just worried'' Kurenai said as she dried her tears while being fixated on the screen. 

''Well, considering his p-….'' Tsunade wanted to explain, but a nonchalant voice came from next to her as a figure appeared. 

''Just keep watching'' 

Hiruzen and Mei were momentarily taken aback by how fast the figure arrived, but calmed down soon as Tsunade nodded, ''Welcome Akai'' 

Akai nodded back before she stood next to Kurenai with her arms crossed under her ample bosom and said, 

''Do you know why that brat is so loved yet so feared?'' 

Kurenai looked at her and asked while drying her tears, ''Because his physical strength, right?'' 

''Let me give you an example'' Akai said as a light smile crossed her face as she looked at the screen where Sukuna crawled out of the crater with an eerie smile covering his face that no sane human would have after taking a Tailed Beast's tail to their chest, 

''Lets say, if I ask you to run at your fastest speed, it's easy right?'' 

''Ofcourse, why?'' Kurenai asked with a confused expression as Tsunade and Mei gave her a look as well. 

''What if I ask you to run into a wall?'' Akai grinned as Kurenai's brows furrowed, ''Why would I run into a wall?'' 

''Just imagine that you had to obey, do you think you that you could run at full speed into the wall, or that your brain would stop you from going full speed?'' 

Kurenai opened her mouth and after a short pause said, ''I wouldn't be able to go my fastest'' 

''Indeed'' Akai grinned as she looked back at the screen, ''He doesn't have that problem'' 

''You want to say he would run with his face first into the wall without hesitation?'' Mei interrupted with a warm smile on her face as Akai turned towards her and said with a light smile, 

''No, because he would go through it''
