Chapter 363: Eight-tails
Chapter 363: Eight-tails
“My name is Darui!” The white-haired boy who was defeated stated his name.
Allan narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Darui. He already guessed his identity (T/N: As did I…), but he wasn’t sure if Darui was so young back then. He was like Kakashi and isn’t the Ninja Allan remembered him from the Anime.
“Why are you staring at me? Do you know me?”
Allan shook his head.
“Since you already defeated me, you can kill me.” After saying this, Darui closed his eyes as if he was accepting death.
Being defeated on the battlefield was equivalent to death.
Allan appreciated Darui’s mentality. The boy was ready to accept the consequences of war without complaints.
At this time, Allan got a choice.
[Ding! Make a Choice!]
[1: Kill Darui. Reward: One B Rank Lightning Technique.]
[2: Spare Darui. Reward: Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku (Fire Release: Majestic Flame Destroyer.)]
Allan decided to spare Darui, and it wasn’t because of the reward, not at all…
Darui was indeed a genius Ninja, just like Kakashi. It would be a pity to kill him.
After thinking for a bit, Allan said: “Darui, right? I will remember you. So, you can go this time. After all, you’re a kid with the potential to be the Raikage one day. It would be a pity to kill you here. And you are a good kid, it’s just we’re currently enemies because of our positions in the war.”
Hearing those words, Darui couldn’t believe his ears. Allan actually believed that he could become The Raikage one day.
“You… What’s your name?” Darui asked curiously.
“My name is Allan, from Konoha,” Allan said.
“Since you’re with Konoha, why are you sparing an enemy? Just because of my potential?” Darui said in confusion.
Allan smiled and said: “Isn’t that reason enough? I admire talents and I find it a pity that someone as talented as you has to die here.”
Darui said: “You’re really a strange person. The higher the potential of the enemy, the greater the threat to you, right? If you let me go, I will grow stronger in the future, wouldn’t that be troublesome for Konoha? Wouldn’t you regret it then?” (T/N: The Kid really wants to die badly.)
“I won’t regret it, I will look forward to you getting stronger.” Allan laughed.
“You’re a very, very strange person, I don’t know if you’re an enemy or a friend.” Darui was speechless.
“Okay, go ahead, if someone saw us, I won’t be able to let you go,” Allan said.
Darui hesitated for a bit before saying: “I will also remember you; I will definitively become stronger next time.” At this moment, a young man appeared beside Darui.
“Darui, are you alright?” The young man asked.
“Bee-sempai, you’re here, I’m fine, only slightly injured,” Darui said. (T/N: The Author is really confusing me. He says that this is Blue Bee, the previous Jinchuriki of Gyuki, the Eight-Tails, but in the third war, the Jinchuriki was Killer Bee.)
Allan looked at Killer Bee, the Eight-tails Jinchuriki, and said: “Hehe, it seems that finally, someone strong appeared.”
Killer Bee glanced around and saw several cloud ninjas dead before glancing at Allan.
“You killed several of my comrades and also injured Darui. You seem quite strong as well, I’m Killer Bee, say your name.”
“My name is Allan; you better remember it,” Allan said.
“Allan? You will soon die at my hands then, and I will avenge my comrades.”
“Come on, let’s see how strong a Jinchuriki is.”
Hearing this, Bee’s face changed as he said seriously: “You actually know that I’m the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki? It seems that you investigated me.”
“Stop this nonsense and let’s fight. I’m really looking forward to how strong you are.”
“You want to see the power of the eight tails? Then you need to defeat me first.”
“Come on.” Allan took out his Kusanagi and Bee Drew his swords.
(T/N: This is getting annoying, Killer Bee uses seven or eight swords, and Blue Bee uses one katana or a Nodachi and can’t control the Eight-Tails, while Killer Bee can. I don’t want to change much, but the timeline is messed up.)
Suddenly, both disappeared, rushed toward each other, and started a close battle.
Bee was as strong as an elite Jonin.
Allan fought without relying on his space-related abilities.
As they exchanged blows, Bee was surprised by Allan’s power. He could tell that he would need the eight Tails to fight Allan.
“It’s no wonder he is confident.” Bee understood why he wanted to try fighting the Bijuu.
In terms of swordsmanship, Allan and Bee were almost equal, but Allan’s sword was better which gave him the upper hand.
After a while, Bee started using lightning ninjutsu, which was one of his strongest powers. He was easily ranked fifth in terms of Ninjutsu in the cloud village.
Allan responded by using lightning Ninjutsu as well, which shocked Bee greatly as Allan’s lightning Ninjutsu was comparable to his own.
Bee thought that Allan already reached the level of a Kage, but he wasn’t sure yet.
“What about now? Am I strong enough to see the power of the eight-tailed beast?” Allan asked Bee.
Bee replied: “You’re indeed strong, and deserve to see the power of the Eight-tailed beast.”
Just as Bee was about to use that power, Darui suddenly stood in front of Bee.
Darui shouted: “Bee-sempai, stop fighting, don’t use the Eight tail’s power.”
“Darui, don’t stop me, he wants to see the power of the Eight tail,” Bee said.
“Please, stop fighting, let’s retreat first,” Darui said.
“No.” Bee replied.
Darui insisted: “If Bee-sempai wants to use the power of the eight tail, then kill me first.” Saying this, Darui spread his arms to block Bee’s path.
“Darui, why are you defending this guy?” Bee looked puzzled.
Darui replied: “Sorry, Bee-sempai, although Allan is our enemy, he could’ve killed me before you arrived, but he didn’t. I owe him one. Therefore, Bee-sempai, if you want to use the eight tail’s power, then I have to return that favor.”
Bee looked at Allan and said: “Why did you spare Darui?”
Allan replied: “Because I appreciate his talent.”
“Appreciate his talent?” Bee was puzzled.
“Darui is a genius, in the future, he may become the Raikage,” Allan said.
“You think that he may become the Raikage in the future?” Bee was shocked.
He knew that Ai was optimistic about Darui. The latter may even become the fifth Raikage.
“Do you still want to fight?” Allan asked.
“No, I won’t do that for now. Since you let Darui go, I will retreat this time.” Bee said.
“That’s a pity, I wanted to test the eight Tail’s power,” Allan said.
“The next time we fight, I will be sure to use it,” Bee promised.
“Then, I will be waiting” Allan laughed.
Bee took Darui and left.
“This is getting boring, let’s see what Obito and Kakashi are doing.” Allan shook his head and left.
