Naruto Chapter 565: Jinchuuriki vs. Jinchuuriki
Naruto and Killer Bee face the former Jinchuuriki under the influence of Edo Tensei. The eight tailed beast Ko tells them that Kabuto also resurrected the tailed beasts in the former Jinchuuriki, but are somehow different. Bee immediately attacks, using Samaheda to distract one of the Jinchuuriki. She easily dodges Bee's attacks even if her back was to him, revealing that the Rinnegan of all of the former Jinchuuriki are somehow connected and they are all sharing one field of vision. As Naruto and Bee try to avoid attacks, Bee and Ko notice that one of the Jinchuuriki, Yugito, is moving faster than she did in real life, revealing this time that the Sharingan is helping her see through the tiniest details and improving her movements. Ko consults Naruto who tells them that they have to stop the former Jinchuuriki one at a time, and that they must find the chakra receivers that Pain used to have when he attacked Konoha. Bee points out that he saw some on Yugito's chest, which emboldens Naruto to make a move. Naruto allows himself to get hit so he can use the Rasengan to expose the chakra receivers on another former Jinchuuriki, but before Naruto can get it out, another former Jinchuuriki kicks him out of the way. Ko tells Bee that he's at a disadvantage because the trees are blocking his line of vision, prompting Bee to release Ko so he can wipe out the trees.
