Chapter 151: Tailed Beast Bomb!
A looked at Uchiha Haneda, who stood ready with his blade, surrounded by both the Frost and Leaf Alliance forces. He couldn't figure out how Uchiha Haneda had won over the Frost ninja, and even Toshiyuki Higashiyama, the notorious fence-sitter, had completely sided with Konoha. And yet, they, from the Hidden Cloud, hadn't detected any of this.
"Could it be... Uchiha Haneda?" A wondered, noticing Haneda's Sharingan and Higashiyama's signs of genjutsu control. Perhaps Haneda had used genjutsu to gather intel from Cloud's spies, then fed the village false reports. A's suspicions were likely correct, but that didn't help the current situation. Haneda's plans had succeeded all too well. Now, A and Killer B had to think of an escape, or their village would be in trouble.
Suddenly, the voice of Gyūki, the Eight-Tails, spoke up. "That Uchiha Haneda has an immense amount of chakra. Be cautious, B!"
Killer B looked seriously at A. "Big Bro, what's the plan?"
"Take down their leader!" A decided quickly, realizing that capturing Uchiha Haneda and Asuma Sarutobi might be their best chance to escape. With Konoha's White Fang likely present, the odds of escaping otherwise were slim.
A and Killer B exchanged a glance, instantly understanding each other's intent.
"Let's go, B!"
"OK, Big Bro!"
In Lightning Release Chakra Mode, A rushed towards Haneda, with B activating his Tailed Beast Transformation to attack from both sides. Seeing this, Haneda quickly told Asuma, "Step back. This fight isn't for you."
"Understood, Haneda-san!" Asuma replied, pulling Kurenai back to safety, knowing he would only hinder Haneda's performance by staying.
Haneda swiftly formed hand seals, creating multiple shadow clones to obscure his true location. His clones then unleashed a barrage of Wind Release: Vacuum Bullets, firing rapidly at A and B like machine-gun rounds. Since Lightning Release was weak against Wind Release, A gritted his teeth.
"Where does Haneda get all this chakra?!"
Gyūki warned, "That guy's used up about half his chakra. He's not aiming to engage in close combat, B!"
As Haneda stood three hundred meters away, arms crossed, he called out, "I won't give you any openings. That's the greatest respect I can show."
Seeing this, A cursed Haneda for his tactics. "Where's the battle spirit Uchiha's known for? Letting the Frost and Leaf ninja fight while he hangs back—disgraceful!"
A turned to B. "Frost has betrayed us! B, Tailed Beast Bomb!"
"OK, Big Bro!"
Killer B started forming a Tailed Beast Bomb—a massive black sphere combining positive blue and negative purple-black chakra. Witnessing the bomb, the surrounding ninja felt intense fear, realizing the scale of its destructive power.
A, protecting B with his Lightning Armor, took on attacks from the ninja army. Wiping blood from his mouth, he laughed, "So what if there are thousands of you? You're nothing against the Tailed Beast Bomb!"
The Bomb hurtled towards the northern side of the encircling ninja army, who scrambled to form earthen walls with Earth Release, only to delay the Bomb for mere seconds. As the ninja army fell into despair, three enormous Rashomon gates appeared in front of them, redirecting the Bomb toward a distant mountain.
Uchiha Haneda stood on top of the Rashomon gates, arms crossed, looking down at the stunned A and B.
"Your bond can't match mine," he said. In the distance, the Tailed Beast Bomb exploded, shattering the mountain. The gate's grimacing faces seemed to mock A and B.
Furious, A shouted, "Damn it, B! Let's go for another one!"
"OK, Big Bro!"
As Killer B prepared another Tailed Beast Bomb, a chilling voice interrupted.
"Well done, Haneda."
In the distance, a pale-skinned man with golden snake-like eyes and long hair approached—Orochimaru. Spotting the Tailed Beast Bomb, he summoned Manda, the colossal snake, ordering it to stop the attack. Manda, with a cold glance at Orochimaru, charged at the Eight-Tails.
A moved to intercept, only to find himself face-to-face with Konoha's White Fang, Sakumo. Trapped, A felt despair, realizing he was no match against Sakumo and Orochimaru's combined might, especially with two thousand ninja looking on.
Within ten minutes, the mighty future Fourth Raikage and Perfect Jinchūriki, Killer B, lay defeated on the battlefield.
