Wammyman: I am so very sorry for taking this long to update. This summer I have had to take courses so that I can get my degree in four years which takes up a lot of my time. I have also had a LOT of family events going on which gave me even less time to work with. Thankfully, I still managed to update. Without further delay, here is the next chapter.

Chapter 9: The Eight Tails
As Sasuke kept shuffling, Bee asked: "Who are you and why do you want to capture me?"
"You don't need to know," answered Sasuke. Suddenly, a sharp blade of steel slipped out from Sasuke's sleeve.
"Hurry and shut him up so we don't have to listen to his stupid jokes anymore," ordered Suigetsu.
"They're not jokes," Bee sang, "they're stylish rhymes you idiot."
"He really pisses me off," roared Karin, "he's the worst rapper I've ever seen!" After hearing Karin's words, Sasuke dashed toward his prey with his sword at the ready. Before Sasuke landed a blow, the rapper caught the young shinobi's blade in the hole of the sword owned by Suigetsu. Soon after, Sasuke's sword was planted into the earth. As a counter attack, Sasuke spun around and kicked the rapper in the chest. This caused the rapper to release the large blade he was wielding. Not long after, Suigetsu seized the weapon into his possession once more. Sasuke followed up by infusing lightning within his sword before swinging it. In response, Bee had one of his small blades clash with Sasuke's. Bee's sword sucked up the lightning like a root. To retain the upper hand, the rapper plunged his remaining swords into Sasuke's body. It didn't take long for Sasuke to be out cold and on the ground.
Little did Bee know that Jugo with gray, giant fists was up high and behind him. Luckily, Bee was able to sense the creature and flee before disappearing. Upon missing his target, Jugo's fists shattered the ground into a small crater. However, Sasuke had blood pouring out of him and the shinigami in the background had his notebook open and his pen on hand.
With fear in her heart, Karin rushed over to Sasuke's side. She carefully plucked the blades from Sasuke's body. Then Karin placed her hands on Sasuke's chest. A green aura glowed and stopped some of the bleeding. Sasuke awakened with sharp, sore sensations all over his body.
"Bite me," instructed Karin. The woman rolled up her sleeve, revealing many dotted circles along her arm. Sasuke dug his teeth into her soft skin. Karin let out a scream of great pain. In seconds, Sasuke's wounds closed and he felt normal again.
"Hm," thought Ryuk closing his notebook, "she saved him just in time. How interesting."
"How do we beat this guy without killing him," asked Suigetsu in a panic, "why don't we just fight 'like' we're gonna kill him?" Sasuke and Karin got up on their feet.
"Well," said Sasuke, "we need to track him down first. Do it now Karin." So Karin closed her eyes and held a hand sign for a moment. After opening her eyes, Karin pointed to a nearby mountain and shouted: "Over there!"
Everyone on the team leaped to their destination with Ryuk flying above them. They found Killer Bee running atop a river on the side of the mountain. When Bee heard his enemies land on the water, he stopped running and turned around. A red aura with many bumps surrounded the rapper. Sasuke's eyes widened as he froze in shock.
"It's just like that time," thought the young shinobi. Without hesitation, Sasuke charged straight for his target. However, this target was much too fast to be caught so easily. Bee dashed under Sasuke and over to Karin, then gave her a blow right in the gut. In the blink of an eye, Karin crashed into a nearby mountain with stone crumbling and blood splattered all over the place. Jugo responded by giving into his inner demons. Jugo's flesh became gray and had yellow eyes surrounded by darkness. The man's limbs also grew to a tremendous size. After spotting Jugo, Bee leaped at him ready to strangle the deformed human. With his giant hands, Jugo grabbed the rapper by his hands, spun around, and then released Bee. The rapper flew straight into another nearby mountain. His impact forged a crater and caused the red aura to fade. Satisfied with his victory, Jugo returned to normal.
As the team got near their target, Bee stood back up shacking. Brown tissue took over his exterior. In a short time, he grew to be bigger than a house. Tentacles sprouted from his back as he gained a fox like face. After the transformation was complete, Bee let out an ear popping roar.
"So this is the eight tails," thought Sasuke.
"Well now," thought Ryuk, "things have gotten really interesting. How are you going to get out of this one, Sasuke?"
The transformed Bee sent his tentacles after the team. Suigetsu sliced away at them with his mighty sword, but the tentacles just grew right back. It didn't take long for one of the tentacles to catch Suigetsu off guard and knock him out cold. Jugo transformed again and desperately struggled to prevent himself from being crushed by the tentacles. Sasuke somehow managed to escape from the confusion.
"It looks like I'll have to use the amaterasu," he thought. So the young ninja's eyes turned red with black swirls. Soon after, black flames conquered Bee's body. The transformed rapper shrieked with pain. Jugo reverted back to his original form after escaping and said: "If we don't do something, he'll die." Sasuke analyzed his target and thought about what to do.
"Let me try something," he finally advised. So the shinobi stared at Bee with his red eyes. He began clutching his right eye as blood dripped out of its socket. As Sasuke endured the pain, the dark flames vanished and Bee returned to normal. However, Bee lost consciousness in the process.
Taking advantage of their opportunity, Sasuke grabbed Bee while Jugo got Suigetsu and Karin. Then the two warriors began leaping back to the hideout with Ryuk flying with them. As the shinigami flew, a figure was caught in the corner of his eye. Ryuk leaned toward Sasuke's ear.
"Hey, Sasuke," asked Ryuk a little confused, "if you have Bee, then whose that?" Sasuke looked to where Ryuk was pointing and saw another Bee leaping away.
"Jugo, follow me," ordered Sasuke. After Sasuke changed course, Jugo did the same.
Bee was desperately skipping about the mountains with a pounding heart. He thought he was in the clear and began to feel freedom's relief. Suddenly, the rapper was surrounded by dark flames. The heat was unlike anything he had felt before. It became harder for the rapper to breathe by the second. In less than a minute Bee was out cold. Soon after, the flames died and Sasuke caught up with the rapper. Assuming his victims wouldn't wake up anytime soon, Sasuke tied the two Bees together with his robe, and continued back to the hideout.
Wammyman: I know that wasn't quite how the battle played out in the manga. I figured since people already know how it happened and to keep this chapter from getting too long, I decided to nutshell/cheat the fight. I apologize if this offends anyone. See you next time - Wammyman
