Chapter 194: Chapter 193: Shisui vs. Killer Bee
On the other side, after dealing with the weaker Cloud ninjas on the ground, Byakuya gently descended with Shisui.
The Cloud ninjas, who had suffered heavy losses, gripped their weapons tightly as they surrounded the two with bloodshot eyes and gritted teeth, their resolve burning fiercely.
Seeing this, Byakuya patted Shisui's shoulder and casually said, "I'm not really good at fighting. I'll leave the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki to you. I'll handle these Cloud ninja fodder."
Hearing this, Shisui's face turned pale.
Suppressing the Two-Tails Jinchūriki and bombing the Cloud ninja's main forces—did he really consider that "not good at fighting"?
However, with the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki, Killer Bee, closing in, Shisui had no choice but to steel himself. Locking eyes with Bee, Shisui activated his Sharingan and cast a genjutsu.
For a moment, the three-tomoe reflection appeared in Bee's eyes, and he fell under the genjutsu's control.
Having learned from his previous encounter with Bee, Shisui didn't let his guard down. He threw a few kunai wrapped with explosive tags and charged toward Killer Bee with his sword. However, Killer Bee, completely unfazed by the genjutsu, easily knocked the kunai aside with his sword, causing the explosive tags to detonate behind him.
Seeing Shisui use the Body Flicker Technique, Bee calmly pulled out more swords and, using his Seven Sword Style, skillfully engaged Shisui in a fight, managing to fend off both his real body and his illusions.
Shisui's face changed slightly, but he quickly shifted into the Mangekyō Sharingan form and launched another assault on Killer Bee.
Byakuya stood still, observing the battle between Shisui and Killer Bee, quietly assessing Bee's strength.
Unlike Yūgito, who specialized in ambush tactics, Killer Bee excelled in direct combat.
Both his taijutsu and ninjutsu were at the Kage level, making him one of the top Kage-level combatants in the entire ninja world.
Against someone like Bee, Shisui, who had barely reached the Kage level thanks to his Mangekyō Sharingan, was naturally at a significant disadvantage. Even if Shisui used his last resort, Kotoamatsukami, it would still be difficult for him to beat Killer Bee.
The reason was simple: Kotoamatsukami might seem like a high-tier ability, allowing Shisui to subtly alter an enemy's will without them realizing it. This ability was indeed nearly unbeatable in one-on-one combat.
However, Kotoamatsukami had several serious flaws—it could be detected and even dispelled.
Additionally, it could only control a single target at a time and couldn't fully manipulate a Jinchūriki.
Looking at the current situation, Shisui was bound to lose to Killer Bee sooner or later unless he used Susanoo to fight Bee head-on. But Bee could also enter full Tailed Beast Mode.
While Byakuya was carefully analyzing the situation, the nearby Cloud ninjas swarmed around him.
They surrounded Byakuya, but none of them dared to attack first. The memory of his devastating bombing assault still lingered, making them hesitant and fearful.
Ignoring their indecision, Byakuya calmly pulled out a summoning scroll from his robe.
Seeing this, the Cloud ninjas grew even more anxious, fearing that Byakuya was about to summon another powerful weapon to attack them.
However, as the white smoke cleared, all that appeared was a small stool.
Sitting on the small stool, Byakuya leisurely looked around at the surrounding Cloud ninjas and shouted, "I know none of you have balls to attack me but I also don't want to kill too many people either. So how about this—if you all just stay where you are and don't interfere in this battle, I won't intervene either. Let's just sit back and watch this farce together, alright?"
Byakuya's relaxed tone and friendly smile made him appear like a peaceful mediator. However, the Cloud ninjas knew all too well that this seemingly harmless boy had just slaughtered hundreds of their comrades in the earlier fight.
Faced with such terrifying power, even the battle-hardened Cloud ninjas, known for their warrior spirit, couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.
At the same time, Shisui's strength also shocked them. When had the Uchiha Clan produced a ninja capable of fighting on equal footing with Lord Killer Bee? And what was with that strange Sharingan?
Could it be the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan?
With these thoughts running through their minds, the Cloud ninjas, despite wanting to assist Killer Bee, didn't dare to move after hearing Byakuya's words. A growing desire to flee took root in their hearts.
They weren't afraid of dying but feared dying for no reason.
If their deaths could help Cloud Village expand its territory, they would willingly give their lives. But with no real gains to be had, they didn't want to throw their lives away meaninglessly.
As these thoughts swirled, a strange scene unfolded on the battlefield.
On one side, Shisui and Killer Bee were locked in intense combat. On the other, Byakuya sat watching the battle with amusement, surrounded by Cloud ninjas too frightened to move.
Killer Bee also noticed the bizarre situation, his expression growing more serious.
Although he had the upper hand against Shisui thanks to his advantage as a Jinchūriki, he still had to remain vigilant against Byakuya, who watched them like a hawk from the sidelines.
By this point, he had a vague sense of how Yugito had disappeared.
Yugito was likely defeated by Shisui and Byakuya. After all, Shisui alone was strong enough to challenge her, and with Byakuya's help, defeating her would have been easy.
With this in mind, Killer Bee mentally called out, "Gyūki, Gyūki, are you there? What do you make of that kid over there?"
The Eight-Tails, Gyūki, who was used to Killer Bee's constant rapping, stirred at his call. As it spread its chakra outward, it spotted Byakuya sitting in the distance and frowned, replying, "I don't know who that kid is, but his chakra level is on par with a Tailed Beast."
"Are you sure?" Killer Bee asked, unusually serious.
Gyūki nodded and said, "I don't want to believe it either, but there are quite a few monsters in the ninja world with chakra rivaling a Tailed Beast. Your brother is one of them, and that kid is another. Plus, I'm sensing a few familiar auras from him. You'd best not provoke him."
Killer Bee's expression shifted. He knew what Gyūki's warning implied, but he also trusted his brother's judgment. Could it be that the Cloud Village was truly heading toward a crushing defeat today?
With that thought, Killer Bee leapt high into the air, gazing toward the distant Konoha camp.
Within the Konoha camp, several massive chakra signatures could be felt. One of them was intensely violent, brimming with lightning chakra, which was undoubtedly his brother, the Raikage. The other chaotic signature was unknown.
But whatever the case, it seemed his brother was facing trouble and needed his help as soon as possible.
Glancing at Shisui, who was still engaged in their battle, Killer Bee quickly formed hand seals. Several blobs of ink split from his body, instantly taking his shape.
The ink clones then self-destructed on the spot, and in the ensuing chaos, Killer Bee took the opportunity to slip away.
