Bee has him matched and surpassed on movements and stops his ration blade
I didn't wanna post each page because it's literally the entire chapter

I'll leave these two pics though and notice the wording Death bares it's fangs, that's Kishi telling us Bee was gonna win.
Annnnnd Suigetsu saves him. Discussion over, Sasuke lost 1v1 against Bee in Kinjutsu in that instance.
Guess Bee doing this was all sasuke's genjutsu then

Classic
A tiny cut (to a heavily injured man)
and failed stabs. Yup.
He was injured it was never stated how bad he was injured but i like how you have to add "heavily injured".
Fail stabs?, They might not of been fatal like bee was hoping for but they put sasuke down on his ass for bee to end him with a follow up strike which his team stopped.
I would hardly called them failed when sasuke was as good as dead if his team didn't step in when they did.
Read above. Scans have been posted.
Sasuke could have easily used a Chidori spear to take him out in the air, when he was using a Raiton charge in that state as well.
Landing him on the ass doesn't mean his stabs were successful. He failed, even from such a short distance away. Sasuke was simply faster, despite being injured.
Were talking Kenjutsu, not Ninjutsu.
We can all play the what if game.
Failed to out right kill him yes but the moment he got stabbed, he lost. that's why taka intervened.
Can't really see the images, but Sasuke kept up Bee just fine despite being badly injured bar that one tiny cut:

This is what happened with the stabs:
Sasuke easily countered Bee's strike. Notice that the sword with the Chidori hand is in his left hand:

When Bee makes the stabs, the sword is in Sasuke's right hand and the Chidori is gone:

Bee confirms that Sasuke ran Raiton through his body to make the stabs non-fatal:

It means, that during that short window, Sasuke threw the sword in his other hand and hit his body with Chidori before Bee made a single stab. That makes Sasuke faster than Bee. It's not really a susprise, as once healed, Sasuke's reflex action was more than four times faster than cloaked Bee. The one with the sword wasn't even cloaked:

He jumps on Bee's back and rolls several times in air, which leads Bee to comment that Sasuke is a as fast as V1 Ae.
By the way, the chapter title doesn't mean anything. Furthermore, they were there to capture not kill Bee. Otherwise, Sasuke could have easily used Chidori spear to take Bee out in air. He let three instances go where he could have easily killed Bee. So, moot point.
Nevermind, I can see the images now.
A tiny cut (to a heavily injured man) and failed stabs. Yup.
Eh? Bee used Ninjutsu as well to match Sasuke's ninjutsu? So, let's throw the whole thing out then?
Which was a result of a ninjutsu as well? Since we are talking about pure Kenjutsu, then Sasuke never failed there bar that one tiny cut.
I'd assumed Mifune if this is a battle of sheer Kenjutsu, but who knows....
It is sheer kenjutsu, minus the chakra blades and sauces sharingan, I was actually putting mifune up there as standing a chance as well lol
Keep clinging buddy.
How can you not see the images do you have eyes? Or are you just trying not to look at them? I'll humor the excuse though Right there Sasuke lost. End of discussion.
That "one tiny cut" was part of the injury that put him down so bad he needed Karin to heal him in order to just continue.
Failing to kill and failing are two different things completely don't try and flip your words and say that's what you always meant. What you said was Bee's stabs failed, that would mean he failed to stab him and cause damage which isn't true and the damage it did do was enough to require healing.
Not to mention he was stabbed 6 times not one tiny time as you're trying to play it off as. Go on let's count the swords stuck in Sasuke's body in that panel together; 1 in each shoulder(2), 1 in each lung(2), 1 in the chest and 1 in the leg. 1,2,3,4,5 and 6. Kishi didn't need to show all 6 wounds heal as most would be able to comprehend Sasuke has 6 wounds and one is healing thanks to Karin they all would be healing.
" they were there to capture not kill Bee."
So suigetsu's words mean nothing now? Like when he said "forget fighting not to kill we gotta fight to kill just so we can bring him down without killing him" Ok
Chidori spear isn't kinjutsu and would defeat your stance but good job including it, I guess?
The OP left adding elements to your blade. Bee didn't use ninjutsu until after Sasuke. when it was solely swords with raiton enhancements Bee won, I don't see how you can even argue that when Sasuke had to be saved from a fatal blow and revived to continue fighting? In what world does that make Sasuke the winner of their sword match?
Eh? Bee used Ninjutsu as well to match Sasuke's ninjutsu? So, let's throw the whole thing out then?

The point was skill here. Sasuke proved to be the more skilled one. No body claimed that Sasuke wasn't injured. He was. But the wounds were minor compared to the fatal wounds that could have straight up killed him. He also healed, because he was already badly injured. Add this injury on top and he absoluely needed to heal. Already posted a scan for this. So, no body is clinging. As everything is backed with manga evidence. Heck, Bee disagrees. What's there to debate?

Chidori spear has nothing to do with Kenjutsu, Unlike what Bee/Sasuke used.
What sasuke/bee did was add Raiton element to enhance their blades cutting power, So the ninjutsu they used was still based on their Kenjutsu.
Raiton because he knew he couldn't win with his normal kenjutsu against bee's unorthodox style.
@ Bold: So sasuke shows superior skill by taking a minor wounds to the face, getting stabbed multiple times and having his team mades to come and save him from the on coming fatal blow?.
@ underlined even if he was in perfect health and got hit by that same attack, he still would of needed healing regardless, bringing up his previous injures changes nothing on why karin had to heal him.
I won't lie I think Madara and Hashirama would give him a run for his money.
I forgot hashi used swords to, nice one dude, but mads?
