"What are you doing, Killer B-sama?!"
Motoi, a Kumogakure ninja on Paradise Island, was shocked to see Killer B siccing the island's animals on Kazama.
"Killer B-sama, we're allies with Konoha now, and Sanada Kazama even saved your life! How could you send the island's beasts to attack them?"
"Chill out, Motoi, you fool, you tool!"
Killer B launched into his signature rap.
"I heard from Raikage-sama that Kazama saved me both times I went berserk. Problem is, I was out cold and never saw his skills. Now that he's here, I gotta test his strength. Go get him, beasts! Let's see how tough this Kazama really is!"
At Killer B's command, a swarm of giant beasts—lions, tigers, bears, you name it—charged at Kazama and his group.
"Killer B, Kazama's suppressed a rampaging Hachibi (Eight-Tails) twice. These animals don't stand a chance against him. This is pointless!"
"Nah, I don't buy that some kid could be that strong."
"But what if something happens to Kazama?"
"Relax, I'll call the beasts back if it gets dicey. No danger to his life. Plus, this'll teach Kazama not to underestimate me, the Hachibi Jinchuriki!"
But before Killer B could finish, the giant beasts charging Kazama were sent flying back, one after another.
"What?! No way!"
Seeing hundreds of massive beasts defeated so spectacularly stunned not just Motoi but Killer B himself. His rap even started to stutter.
"Killer B, this is how you welcome us?"
Kazama was the first to stride up to Killer B, with Naruto, Kai, and Yamato close behind.
"You jerk! Why'd you have those beasts attack us the second we show up?!"
Unaware that Killer B was the Hachibi Jinchuriki meant to help him control his tailed beast, Naruto joined Kazama in yelling at him.
Roar!
At that moment, a giant rhino, previously flung by Kazama, charged at him again like it had lost its mind.
"Oh no!"
Killer B prepared to transform into his tailed beast form to stop the rhino's attack.
But Kazama, with a single hand, grabbed the rhino's massive horn and hoisted it into the air.
"This… this… you!"
Seeing Kazama's raw power firsthand, Killer B went from rap master to stammering uncle.
Even Killer B needed the Hachibi's power to tame the island's beasts. Yet Kazama had effortlessly crushed them with his own strength—something not even Killer B and Raikage combined could do.
For Kazama, with his monstrous strength, this was a piece of cake.
And he was still holding back, not even using his more devastating Susanoo. If he had, the entire Paradise Island would've been flattened.
"I'm so sorry, Kazama-sama!"
Motoi hurried over, all smiles and apologies.
"Killer B-sama was just joking around. He didn't mean to actually harm you, so please don't take it the wrong way!"
Hearing Motoi's words, Kazama let it slide.
He knew Killer B wasn't malicious—just a guy who acted on whims. Besides, Kazama needed Killer B's help to guide Naruto in fully mastering the Kyubi's power, so he wasn't about to make a fuss.
But what Kazama didn't expect was that while he was willing to let it go, Killer B wasn't ready to drop the matter.
