He closed his eyes, sensing everything on the island. Almost immediately, he felt a familiar Tailed Beast chakra.
'Such a massive Tailed Beast chakra... isn't this the Eight-Tails? Then the Eight-Tails' Jinchuriki must be here.'
He stepped forward, hurrying in the direction he sensed the chakra from.
Not long after, Ryosuke arrived at the center of the island.
Standing before him was a man wearing sunglasses, skillfully wielding seven blades in swift, fluid motion. Moreover, the man was cloaked in red Tailed Beast chakra. If this wasn't Killer Bee, then who else could it be?
This was the very person Ryosuke had come to find.
To Ryosuke, Killer Bee's swordsmanship looked unremarkable. Of course, to an ordinary person, it would still be incredibly fierce.
While training, the Eight-Tails' Jinchuriki suddenly felt a jolt in his heart.
He stopped training. Turning his head, he saw a man dressed in black clothes and wearing a white mask.
Although they hadn't fought yet, this stranger gave Killer Bee a strong sense of danger, one that made him stay alert.
As the man approached, Killer Bee asked coldly, "Who are you?"
This place was Turtle Island, a secret location known only to the Hidden Cloud Village. Very few people should even be aware of its existence. So how had this man found his way here? And judging from the way he walked, he clearly wasn't just passing by.
Uchiha Ryosuke calmly replied, "Uchiha Madara."
Killer Bee froze upon hearing the name. Behind his sunglasses, his eyes narrowed.
In the ninja world, there was only one Uchiha Madara, the so-called Asura of the Ninja World. The one who had defected from Konoha, attacked it, and was ultimately defeated by Senju Hashirama.
Their battle had shaken the entire ninja world. It was so intense, so destructive, that it surpassed the devastation of any war between nations. The land where they fought had been reshaped beyond recognition.
That legendary battle, of course Killer Bee knew of it.
Which was exactly why he didn't believe the man before him. Even if Uchiha Madara were still alive, he'd be ancient by now. How could someone so old still radiate such a powerful presence?
No matter how strong a shinobi had been in their prime, time took its toll. Aging weakened the body, and even chakra deteriorated with age.
Thinking this, Killer Bee growled, "You bastard, who the hell are you?"
Ryosuke looked at the disbelief in Killer Bee's expression. It was only natural. No one would believe Uchiha Madara could still be alive.
He said calmly, "Whether you believe me or not, I've come to extract the Eight-Tails from your body. If you know what's good for you, hand it over quietly. Otherwise, you'll suffer needlessly."
Killer Bee immediately flew into a rage. This guy actually wanted to take the Tailed Beast from his body? That was no different than trying to kill him.
His predecessor, Blue B, the former Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, had been his mentor, and the Fourth Raikage's cousin.
Blue B had died in one of Orochimaru's schemes. His Tailed Beast had been extracted, and he had perished. Everyone knew that pulling a Tailed Beast out of a Jinchuriki meant certain death.
Even if this masked man really was Uchiha Madara, Killer Bee wasn't about to hand over the Eight-Tails. Especially not to someone like him. And judging from his words, this guy was an enemy. An intruder. That was all Killer Bee needed to know.
Without hesitation, he charged.
He knew the man was strong, but he was stronger. Now in Tailed Beast Cloak mode, his physical strength and speed had greatly increased. This was Killer Bee's strongest form in human shape. He was confident he could cut the guy down.
Ryosuke looked at the charging Killer Bee and sighed softly. 'As expected, he wouldn't give up the Tailed Beast willingly.'
He slowly pulled a kunai from his pocket. At the same time, chakra surged through his pupils. He activated the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, preparing to meet Killer Bee's assault head-on.
Killer Bee caught sight of the blood-red eyes and was startled.
'Mangekyo Sharingan?'
Now he was truly suspicious. Only members of the Uchiha clan possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan. That man who had once defeated him, Uchiha Ryosuke, had it. And the infamous Uchiha Madara had it, too.
Could this really be Uchiha Madara?
But by now, the distance between them was too close. Retreating would only leave him open to attack. Then he'd just have to test the strength of this masked man himself.
At the moment of contact, Killer Bee launched a simultaneous assault with both hands and feet, controlling seven blades at once as he attacked.
His offense was fast and fierce, seven blades slashing in different directions with deadly precision. There was no room to dodge. Surely, the man couldn't counter all of them.
Killer Bee was confident. He believed this attack would be enough to take the man down.
