The question is, how can you effectively defend against Lightning Release?
According to the chakra nature counter theory, Wind Release counters Lightning Release. But that's countering, which is different from defending. It has a different concept and meaning.
Earth Release, which has universal defense? That won't work. Because lightning beats earth. Earth Release often gets pierced by Lightning Release.
Water Release? Sorry, Water Release ninjas are generally not good at dealing with Lightning Release ninjas. The former often gets unlucky when they encounter the latter.
As for Fire Release, generally speaking, Fire Release doesn't have any defensive techniques. You can only attack to defend.
The best way to defend against Lightning Release… is still Lightning Release. The best way to defend against Lightning Release is with Lightning Release. But the premise is that they have similar strengths. Otherwise, it's just one side weakening the other.
Besides, Haori's way of using "Lightning Release" is actually completely deceptive on the outside. It's just pure electricity. It's not the same as Lightning Release.
Although he has an advantage in terms of intelligence, that doesn't mean that Haori will have an easy time against Killer B.
The Eight-Tails Jinchūriki is actually very tricky.
One sentence to describe Killer B's awesomeness: This guy also became a Jōnin at twelve years old.
He's currently standing on one leg, like a golden rooster. Then, he's holding swords in both hands, his mouth, his elbows, his armpits, his waist, and his knees. He's mimicking a hedgehog. He looks very prickly.
And it definitely can't just be a juggling act. This is Killer B's unique swordsmanship. According to intelligence reports, it's incredibly fast and deadly. Even the Sharingan has a hard time keeping up with his movements. Even if the Sharingan could keep up with those movements, a ninja's body has its limits. They wouldn't be able to react.
At this time, Haori wished his luck was a little better. If it wasn't the Electric Shock user, but the Thunderclap fruit, although Mikoto could easily charge him up to one billion volts, Enel only had one-fifth of her power, but he could turn into an element. That would be invincible.
If you were to compare them, little A is basically light, while Haori is just a flashlight. So, he's delicate and fragile. Be careful.
To defend against Haori's Lightning Release, the seven chakra swords on Killer B's body lit up at the same time. It looked quite spectacular, like a lightbulb repairman.
It was mentioned before that Haori's speed and Killer B's speed were not the same kind of speed. So, considering the possible disadvantages he might face, Haori didn't attack first.
The Eight-Tails Jinchūriki was the first to move.
His body relaxed, then instantly all his muscles tensed. The seven blades spun like a hurricane.
Although it's not appropriate to say this, this big guy was actually dancing.
The Dance of Death.
Too fast.
Killer B's swordsmanship could surpass the speed of sound. And strictly speaking, his Lightning Release chakra swords were also high-frequency vibration swords. But just as Haori didn't intend to engage in a real close-quarters battle with him, the other side shouldn't play vibration with Haori.
Honestly, you can't out-vibrate him…
But unfortunately, no one had given him that friendly tip beforehand.
When the other side launched its attack, Haori also moved. But he didn't move forward to attack Killer B. Instead, he quickly retreated, trying to create some distance.
He was holding the Iron Sand Sword, but that didn't really mean he only had one sword.
Eight iron sand whips shot out from behind him instantly, at the speed of electromagnetic launching, and they attacked Killer B directly.
This attack method was really hard to tell who was the actual octopus.
It had nothing to do with chakra or anything like that. The high-frequency vibration of the iron sand created a more jarring hum. The jet black color, the super-frequency vibrating chainsaw, brought a purely physical threat.
This was the ultimate physical attack method and a truly unavoidable technique. You could only dodge.
Even if you weren't a ninja, anyone could tell at a glance that this thing was absolutely not something you could touch.
Even a Jinchūriki.
Even a tailed beast.
Killer B was naturally not stupid. He wouldn't charge forward. His rapidly rotating body moved through Haori's iron sand whips with incredible agility and speed, continuing to close the distance.
But why are they called iron sand whips? Because the eight chains are as flexible as snakes. If they were straight, they would just be eight forty-meter long swords.
Killer B was in the gaps between the iron sand whips, or you could say this was Haori's encirclement strategy.
Then, Haori began to control the iron sand whips, making them fluctuate in a wave-like, disordered pattern.
This scattered and dense whipping, there was no way Killer B could avoid getting hurt at all, especially since the space he could move in was shrinking as he advanced.
Blood began to spurt from his body.
This looked like a disadvantage from the start. A had reminded Killer B not to screw up, but it seemed like he had screwed up right away.
So, A made his move.
Almost instantly, a fist flashing with Lightning Release, carrying immense power, appeared in front of Minato.
The distance at that time was probably only 0.01 centimeters.
But "in an instant," although very short, is still a unit of time.
So, Minato disappeared in front of A.
This was the space-time ninjutsu, the Flying Thunder God, that the Yellow Flash was famous for, something that no one in the entire ninja world could match.
This is a movement that ignores time difference and spatial distance. It can't be accurately described as "in an instant" because he simply disappears from here and appears there, without missing a beat.
It's not a matter of speed. You could say it's a technique based on rules or laws.
Minato disappeared from A's eyes, then appeared at the Flying Thunder God coordinates stuck in the tree trunk. Then, he appeared at the location of the Flying Thunder God Kunai that was suspended behind A.
With A's speed, it looked like he was completely stationary.
Minato held the Kunai in his left hand, and his right hand glowed with a bright blue Rasengan.
The Kunai stabbed directly at the back of his neck, and the Rasengan was pressed against A's heart. He had just warned his teammates not to kill, but this was clearly a two-part fatal attack.
Killer B was also in a dangerous situation, but he still had to save the day!
A huge octopus tentacle shot out from behind him, trying to push A away from his original position.
However, now it was two against two.
The iron sand whip pierced directly through the Eight-Tails' fleshy tail. Then, the iron sand sword in Haori's right hand stabbed forward.
With this length, it wouldn't normally reach the Eight-Tails' tail. But the iron sand at the tip of the sword erupted, instantly extending into a forty-meter long sword.
This wasn't the Iron Sand Sword. It was the ultimate Getsuga Tenshō.
What does it feel like to cut meat with a high-frequency vibrating particle blade that's used to cut through A.T. FIELDS? Anyway, Haori raised his right hand, and the Eight-Tails' tentacle was severed cleanly.
With a "boom," A's figure, flashing with lightning, was directly pressed into the ground by Minato.
At this time, Killer B had already charged in front of Haori. And he clearly realized that he wouldn't have time to care about his brother's life if he didn't deal with this person in front of him.
He was covered in blood, but because of his extreme reaction time, he wasn't actually seriously injured.
Seven Lightning Release: Sonic Vibration Lightning Release swords had already reached Haori's face, like the dance of death.
But ninjas, sometimes, in the process of battle, it's all about intelligence. The more high-level the confrontation, the more this is true.
The Iron Sand Shield instantly blocked in front of Haori. The opponent's six swords chopped down on it, one after another, and then broke one after another.
Because Haori was using a lot of his energy to maintain the high-frequency vibration of this shield, the other side couldn't break through this defense.
However, he still broke through.
As the opponent's final sword struck, Haori's eyes, which no one could see the expression of, flickered.
The Iron Sand Shield in front of him instantly lost its defensive ability.
He actually gave up resisting. And it was completely a matter of his subjective inaction! Although Killer B hadn't fully transformed into the tailed beast, he was clearly at an advantage because of the intelligence advantage.
Incomprehensible.
Suicide? Self-destruction? Giving up? Chakra exhaustion?
The long sword pierced his chest. The enormous force sent him flying backward, along with the sword. The impact sent him crashing into a large tree.
Blood gushed from his chest.
Blood coughed from his mouth.
