Lariat Version 2

The user charges at his opponent, striking them with a Lariat move. This strike is powerful enough to blow away the target's entire chest. The attack is straightforward, though, and can be easily seen through with the Sharingan.

When Killer Bee uses this attack, he creates either a chakra cloak or chakra bones, both in the form of bull's horns. He refers to this as his "Eighth" (八本目, Happonme) sword, next to his seven conventional katana.

When Ē uses it, he surrounds himself with his Lightning Release Armor, rather than tailed-beast chakra. His high-level chakra, which is comparable to that of a tailed beast's, would produce the same effect as Killer Bee's version. In the anime, Killer Bee performs Lariat with Lightning Release while in his three-tailed form. The two brothers can combine their efforts to perform a Double Lariat, which is strong enough to decapitate the victim.

Trivia

  • As with many of the techniques of Kumogakure ninja, this technique has an English name given kanji that somewhat match the pronunciation. Usually, the kanji would be pronounced as Rairi Nettō.
