Chapter 72 : Fusion of Eight Tails
Kurama sneered, his golden eyes gleaming with authority. "My tail is above yours!"
The moment the words left his mouth, Gyūki instinctively distanced himself. A primal fear settled within him. Among the Tailed Beasts, the Nine-Tails was always the strongest. But the Kurama standing before him now was not just the Nine-Tails—he carried the power of the One-Tail as well.
How could Gyūki not be afraid?
In the past, Naruto had wielded only half of Kurama's power and managed to take on four Tailed Beasts at once. But Kurama—he was complete. Fully realized.
Understanding the gap between their power, Gyūki immediately relinquished control, retreating into Killer Bee's subconscious.
Bee, who had heard everything, stopped rapping. For the first time in a long while, he grew serious.
"Bee, get away! Even if we fight together, we can't win against him!" Gyūki's voice trembled with an urgency Killer Bee had never heard before.
Killer Bee frowned. He had never seen Gyūki this panicked. "Yo, no way this uncle's gonna run and hide! Seventy-Ninety—wait, that don't rhyme!"
Bee let out a battle cry and entered his Version 2 transformation. His body became cloaked in a dense layer of dark red chakra, and the eight chakra tails behind him surged forward toward Kurama, aiming to bind him.
"Eighth Brother, Ninth Brother is just playing with you!"
Kurama grinned before entering his own Version 2 state. Nine massive, crimson chakra tails lashed forward, colliding with Gyūki's. The battlefield shook as the tails wrapped around each other, wrestling for dominance.
