Chapter 5: Wrath of the Eight-Tails
He doesn't win with words.
He wins with pressure.
Boom!
Sasuke's shadow clone clashed with Killer Bee again, blades ringing.
Sasuke came in from the other side—fast, low, blade tight in hand.
Clang!
Bee blocked one. The clone slashed from behind.
Clang! Clang!
Bee spun between them like a storm. Three blades blocked at once.
"Y'all really tag-teamin' me now?
What's next—backup dancers on the prowl?"
The clone didn't respond.
It moved silently. Fast. Clean.
Sasuke skidded sideways and shouted:
"Fire Style: Flame Bullet!"
Three fireballs shot from his mouth.
Bee dodged one, blocked another, but the third hit his chest.
Boom!
Smoke burst out.
The clone followed up—kicking Bee's side midair.
Bee crashed into a rock and bounced back, landing on his feet.
He grinned, blood on his lip.
"Okay. Now it's a party.
Uchiha in the house, but I ain't feelin' sorry!"
Taka Joins the Fight
From the cliffs above, Suigetsu cracked his neck.
"Let's go. He's not gonna beat Bee alone."
He leapt down, Executioner's Blade in hand.
Jūgo followed, his body already shifting into combat form.
Karin stayed above, focused and watching.
"That chakra… it's not just Bee anymore. The Eight-Tails is starting to take over!"
Bee turned as they landed.
"Yo! What's this?
You brought a fish and a tank for assist?"
Suigetsu didn't answer. He charged in first.
Clang! Bee met his sword and held it tight.
But Suigetsu melted, slipping around the blade like water.
"Nice swing… but I'm slippery."
From the other side, Jūgo came crashing in.
His right arm turned into a heavy spike.
Boom!
He slammed Bee's ribs and sent him flying across the ground.
"Ugh… y'all really want smoke?"
Sasuke Holds Back
Sasuke stood steady in the center of the battlefield.
Still not using Amaterasu. If I rely on it now, what's the point? This fight is mine to earn—with my shadow, with my team.
The clone returned to his side—damaged, but ready.
Bee rose again, chakra exploding out of him.
Three red tails now.
"You hit hard, I'll give you that,
But I'm still breathin'—ain't fallin' flat!"
He vanished.
BOOM!
He appeared behind Jūgo—
SMASH! A tailed fist to the back.
Jūgo crashed into a tree.
Suigetsu swung again—Bee ducked low.
The clone appeared to block, but Bee kicked it away.
Sasuke ran in and unleashed:
"Lightning Style: Chidori Stream!"
Electricity surged from his body in all directions.
Bee grunted and slid back, jolted.
The clone rushed in behind him—slicing low.
Slice!
Blood hit the ground.
Bee spun away, holding his leg.
"Tch… y'all ain't playin'."
Final Clash Builds
Bee flipped over a boulder, landed on one knee, breathing harder.
Sasuke wiped sweat from his brow.
"Shadow, with me."
The clone stepped forward—silent, steady.
They moved.
Dash. Slash. Block. Parry.
Blades cut the air. Sparks danced.
Jūgo returned to the fight, body glowing.
Suigetsu came in again from the left.
Team Taka moved like a real unit now.
Bee roared.
His chakra exploded again.
Four tails burned behind him.
The air sizzled with pressure.
"You want all of me?
Then I'll give it free!"
He tore up a chunk of rock and flung it.
BOOM!
The impact split the ground.
Karin screamed from above:
"Sasuke! One more hit and he's done! You have to end it now!"
Sasuke clenched his fist. Lightning charged around his arm.
I said I wouldn't use Amaterasu. And I won't… not yet.
He turned to the clone.
Let's finish this the right way.
They sprinted forward—
One in front, one behind.
CLANG!
CRACK!
SLASH!
BLOCK!
Fast.
Ruthless.
Focused.
Bee grunted, blades swinging wildly.
The team pressed him back.
He shouted:
"Okay! You win! I give you props.
But I ain't finished—I just do drops!"
He spun one last time, blades shining.
Sasuke and his clone jumped forward.
One more strike.
To be continued.
