Killer Bee's self-created sword technique.
To receive such praise from Gensou indicated just how formidable the technique was.
No wonder Sasuke, with his Mangekyō Sharingan and self-assured attitude, almost questioned his life after facing this technique.
No wonder Samui chose this unserious guy as her swordsmanship teacher.
The last swordsmanship that earned such praise from Gensou was from a man named Hatake during the Warring States Period.
Unfortunately, the only descendant of that Hatake family abandoned the family's swordsmanship to honor his comrades.
Hatake swordsmanship may never shine again in the ninja world.
Seeing Killer Bee step forward again, swinging his seven swords like a whirlwind, Gensou glanced at his black cloak.
"This is my only cloak; it can't be torn again."
He spoke and made a single-hand sign:
"Magnet Release: Metal Manipulation!"
In an instant!
Killer Bee felt his seven swords vibrate uncontrollably.
Before he could react,
With a whoosh, the seven swords completely disregarded their master and flew away.
At that moment, Killer Bee felt like he had been abandoned by a goddess, left as a mere mortal. He howled:
"No, no! Come back!"
It was useless.
Under Gensou's control, the seven swords flew at high speed towards the approaching Fourth Raikage A, while he himself stepped forward, darting towards the unarmed Killer Bee.
This is the embarrassing part of taijutsu in the world of Naruto.
You could say it's powerful, and it truly is.
But even the mighty Night Guy, at the cost of one's life, could only land a hit on Madara with the assistance of Flying Thunder God and Kamui.
As for the final blow, it was more that Madara wanted to experience it firsthand.
Although it's called the most powerful taijutsu, Madara immediately recovered, standing as strong as ever.
Pure taijutsu has significant limitations.
Like now, Gensou effortlessly broke Killer Bee's proud sword technique with Magnet Release, forcing him to retreat.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
"Lightning Release: Thunderbolt!"
Two cloud ninja cast their jutsu, combining them into a Thunder Water Dragon Bullet, aiming to stop Gensou.
Gensou extended his left hand, fingers spread.
In an instant, the incoming Thunder Water Dragon Bullet was absorbed into his palm.
Without hesitation, Gensou redirected the attack towards Killer Bee, sending the Thunder Water Dragon Bullet hurtling towards him.
"Bee!"
"I know."
Killer Bee responded to Gyuki, and his right hand swelled, transforming into a massive octopus tentacle, blocking the Thunder Water Dragon Bullet.
BOOM!
A violent wave of energy spread, carrying rain and lightning in all directions.
Shattering the seven swords in his grip, the Fourth Raikage A charged towards Hagoromo Gensou, shouting to his subordinates:
"Don't use long-range jutsu! Use C-Battle Formation!"
"Yes!"
The five cloud ninja who accompanied the A-B Combination were all elites.
Upon receiving the Fourth Raikage A's order, they swiftly took their positions, rushing towards Gensou alongside their leader.
The first to reach him was the massive, ever-expanding octopus tentacle of the semi-transformed Killer Bee.
BOOM!
The ground split under the impact.
Gensou dodged, then countered the combined attacks of the cloud ninja, but the Fourth Raikage was already upon him like a lightning bolt.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sounds of metal clashing filled the air as Gensou and the Fourth Raikage A exchanged blows at a speed barely perceptible to the human eye.
Seizing an opportunity, Gensou grabbed A's arm, using Dark Release to absorb his chakra.
Surprisingly, A didn't resist but instead gripped Gensou's arm with his other hand, using his immense strength to crash forward.
BOOM!
Gensou's feet dug trenches in the ground, fresh blood seeping from his wounds, soaking into his black cloak.
In his injured state, he couldn't withstand much impact.
In his prime, this fight would be much easier.
But!
This is the feeling he wanted!
Pain! Thrill! Excitement! Euphoria!
Chakra pulsed, muscles swelled, wounds tore open.
Only this way!
He could clearly feel that he was truly alive in this world.
"Come on! Dance to your heart's content! Entertain me!"
Gensou advanced towards A with great strides.
"You think I'm afraid of you!"
With his extensive battle experience and realizing Gensou's odd state, A cracked his neck, charging forward like an unstoppable force.
Not only that, the five cloud ninja, having been repelled, charged at Hagoromo Gensou again, leaving no room for evasion.
"This is the moment!"
"Eight Tails Technique: Ink Clone!"
From his stomach, Killer Bee spat out a large amount of ink, mixed with sealing jutsu, covering the entire area around Hagoromo Gensou.
The stronger the enemy, the more effective sealing jutsu.
Gensou didn't dodge.
He simply looked up at the descending ink rain.
The chakra he had absorbed from A quickly evaporated from his body.
In the next instant.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
It was a clear, sunny day.
In an instant, it turned freezing cold.
Before the astonished eyes of the cloud ninja, the descending ink rain froze instantly, forming a massive ice sheet in midair.
This was just the beginning.
With Gensou at the center, a thick layer of ice spread from the ground, rapidly expanding in all directions.
The cloud ninja couldn't avoid it, helplessly watching as the ground turned to ice, freezing everything in its path.
Their bodies quickly followed suit.
From their feet to their legs, from their legs to their waists, until their entire bodies were encased in ice.
"This is Ice Release!"
One cloud ninja, who had fought a member of the Yuki clan, exclaimed in shock.
He had never seen such terrifying Ice Release.
Struggling to escape, he saw a figure appear before him and felt a slight tap.
CRACK!
The cloud ninja's body shattered into countless ice shards, scattering in the wind.
"One down," Hagoromo Gensou said calmly.
