Sasuke engages Killer Bee in combat and sustains injuries from the latter's swords. Karin provides healing, after which Sasuke, Suigetsu, and Jugo launch a coordinated attack against Bee. Bee eventually decides to utilize the power of the Eight-Tails. Sasuke is injured once more and revived by Jugo, who regresses in age as a consequence. Fully healed, Sasuke employs Amaterasu on Bee in a final desperate attempt to subdue him. Meanwhile, two Cloud ninja observe the battle from a cliff and notice the Uchiha crest on Sasuke's back. They immediately rush this information to Bee's older brother, the Raikage.
