Chapter 193: End of B

Blue B showed his level of skill as his instincts took over, with him grabbing the blade off his back and attempting to cut off Orochimaru's arm, though his attack was too slow, with Orochimaru able to retreat as he stood before him.

"No one in the Shinobi World was aware of the fact that you had become one of the rare few to join the ranks of the Perfect Jinchuriki. If not for me having the element of surprise, I may have had a little trouble when dealing with you." Orochimaru said lightly, with him looking playfully at Blue B.

"You have made a grave mistake in coming here, Orochimaru. I will not allow you to leave after attacking me." Blue B said as his blade began to glow with Lightning Chakra, though his focus was on the seal hampering his connection to his Tailed Beast.

'I can't even hear his thoughts anymore. Whatever seal he used on me, I won't be able to undo it without outside help.' Blue B thought to himself.

Blue B seemed to have unparalleled speed as he appeared directly before Orochimaru, with him ready to cut off his neck.

However, time seemed to stand still as with a single finger, Orochimaru stopped the blade from advancing any further.

"It seems you look down on me far too much. I can guarantee you that we are in two entirely different leagues. The level of the Sannin is not something that a half decent Shinobi and a Beast can hope to reach." Orochimaru said, looking down on Blue B completely.

"Damnit!!" Blue B said in anger as his blade emitted far greater power with him attempting to slash Orochimaru from multiple directions.

A bracelet on Orochimaru's wrist glowed a blue color, with a blade being released from it, with him the giving a small sigh.

"Well, I guess I can entertain you for a little longer. The Jutsu hiding this area off can last long enough for me to play around for a bit. Try not to die to fast, B." Orochimaru said before his sword, The Sword of Kusunagi, glowed a white color, with Orochimaru coating it in Wind Chakra.

The two then began a delicate dance of swordsmanship, with both moving at extreme speeds, yet the difference in skill and power was evident, as Orochimaru fought without breaking a sweat, while Blue B had nearly died multiple times.

'I can only use that. I hope Lord Raikage will be alerted by the level of Chakra that I release. If this madman lives, who knows how much harm he could do to the Village.' Blue B thought before weaving signs in quick succesion.

"Oh? How interesting." Orochimaru said as he waited for Blue B to finish his new Jutsu.

'I have a feeling Tsunade would say I was stupid for letting my opponent "Power Up" or whatever she calls it, but I am quite interested in his last resort technique.' Orochimaru thought.

"Lightning Style: Overdrive!" 

Blue B's body suddenly glowed a blue color, yet instead of coating his body in a similar way as to how the Lightning Style Chakra Mode, he instead utilized the lightning to stimulate nearly every cell in his body, giving him untold power.

B moved again, though his speed was far greater, with him again attempting to cut off the head of Orochimaru, feeling that he had to eliminate him.

'I have to finish him here. An untold amount of Kumo shinobi would die by his hand if he were to live to fight in the upcoming war. Even if they haven't treated me well, this is the Village that raised me, and A is the man who I swore to serve till my death. I refuse to let him down.' B thought to himself.

Images of his past in the Village flashed in his mind, with them ranging from the people in Kumo secluding him, to the woman named Asuka helping him, to him meeting A and swearing to become the strongest shield to protect him with Asuka as his blade.

'Yes! I shall die a hero, knowing I took down the greatest threat to our Village.' B thought, with his focus shining greatly in his eyes, his determination and will blazing brightly.

"This is your end, Snake Sannin!!" B yelled as he appeared to him.

However, in a moment which shocked him, Orochimaru's hand stopped his blade and shattered it, with it then extending and grabbing his throat, with him looking at him in disdain.

"Did you think that just because a python doesn't strike, it's on the same level as a mouse? No, it just wanted to see it's food struggle first. If you must blame your death on someone, blame it on your Raikage for wishing harm to befall my Nation. I pray you find peace in your next life, B." Orochimaru said, before his blade stabbed Blue B in the chest.

As he laid B on the ground, an idea came to mind.

"Fuin: Release!!" Orochimaru said as he unsealed the Eight Tails, with him then retreating afterwards as the Tailed Beast destroyed everything that was their, destroying any trace of Orochimaru being there.

"I wonder how you deal with this, Lord Raikage?" Orochimaru said as he left the area. 

[AN: Yeah, the Sannin are on a whole different level now.]
