Chapter 457 The Six-Tails is a freebie? The Fourth Mizukage's world has collapsed.
"You bastards from Konoha, what are you trying to do?!"
"Pulse pressing..."
Gazing at the menacing Three-Tails hovering in mid-air, the Fourth Mizukage's eyes widened in fury as he watched the rapidly forming tailed beast.
As the Mizukage, he was well aware of the terror of the Tailed Beast Ball, a weapon of war. If this attack were to strike, half of Kirigakure would probably be wiped out!
"Stop! I can agree to lend the Three-Tails to Konoha temporarily, and return it to Kirigakure after the Jinchuriki dies." Seeing the critical and imminent situation, the Fourth Mizukage made a ruthless decision.
This is the bottom line that Kirigakure can bear. The Three-Tails can be lost temporarily, but not forever!
"Is that all? Not enough. It seems your resolve isn't strong enough!" Ishikawa shook his head dismissively, refusing to accept it. While this would allow Rin to legitimately use the power of the Three-Tails, it was hard to say whether Kirigakure would resort to underhanded tactics later.
After all, what the other party promised was that the Three-Tails would return to Kirigakure after the Jinchuriki's death.
"The strong prey on the weak, only the fittest survive! How can one know the preciousness of peace without experiencing pain? Fourth Mizukage, this was the tragic scene you planned to orchestrate in Konoha, only now the one bearing the brunt is Kirigakure..."
A voice brimming with chakra echoed through the air, and Ishikawa, who had preemptively shifted the responsibility to the Fourth Mizukage, had a resolute glint in his eyes: "Rin, let's begin!"
"boom……"
Almost the instant Ishikawa finished speaking, the three-tailed beast beneath his feet had a flicker of hesitation in its pupils before instantly regaining its resolve, and it opened its mouth and unleashed a fierce burst of power.
As Ishikawa said, this pain itself is the blood and tears that the Mizukage and Madara planned to inflict on Konoha, only now the roles have reversed.
The more miserable Kirigakure is now, the more desperate she was back then. If it weren't for Ishikawa's influence, she wouldn't have had the chance to sympathize with Kirigakure's indecisiveness!
War is never child's play!
"Damn it, we have no choice but to try detonating it in mid-air! Otherwise, if it crashes down and explodes in the village, there will definitely be heavy casualties..."
Below, the Fourth Mizukage, glaring at the Tailed Beast Ball hurtling down, gritted his teeth and growled furiously, his hands flashing as he formed hand seals at the limit, unleashing "Ninja Art: Wind and Water Dragon Bullet!!"
Unleashing its full power, the Fourth Mizukage unleashed a combined ninjutsu just before the Tailed Beast Ball slammed into the ground.
The Water Dragon Bullet, infused with wind-style chakra, was like a swift dragon, managing to withstand the Tailed Beast Ball at the last second, resulting in a brief stalemate.
Furthermore, the attack of the Wind and Water Dragon Bullet has already caused the Tailed Beast Ball to change direction...
"That's impressive. At this rate, even if that Tailed Beast Ball shatters in the end, its position will change." Ishikawa, with his red-eyed insight, praised scathingly, then a smile played on his lips. "So, what are you going to do with the next one, Mizukage?!"
As if receiving a signal from Ishikawa, the Three-Tails opened its mouth again almost simultaneously, rapidly condensing a Tailed Beast Ball. In less than three seconds, a Tailed Beast Ball with a diameter of twenty meters was thrown directly at the Mizukage Building.
"How can this be repaired?!"
On the ground, the Hidden Mist Clan members, including the Mizukage, who witnessed this immediately felt their scalps tingle and broke out in a cold sweat.
That's the heart of Kirigakure!
"It's over, now Kirigakure is going to be set back twenty years..." In the Mizukage Building, looking at the ferocious Tailed Beast Yu Yuanshi, his face turned pale with regret.
If I had known this would happen, I should have advised the Mizukage to accept Konoha's peace terms!
The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, was also ashen-faced, his eyes filled with fear of the tragic events that were about to unfold...
Damn it, who the hell could have imagined that the Three-Tailed Fox could fly? This completely wiped out all their preparations and rendered them useless.
I can't hit them, and I can't seal them; I can only passively take hits. How can I break this?
"Don't even think about succeeding, Konoha ninja!!"
In the blink of an eye, just as Master Mizukage and the Mist Hidden Clan were in despair, a deep and furious roar suddenly rang out.
The next instant, a resolute glint flashed in the newcomer's eyes as he hurled the boy in his hand, simultaneously forming hand seals and unleashing his power. "I'm sorry, Yu Gao. For the sake of the village, you may have to be sacrificed!"
"Seal Released..."
In the blink of an eye, the moment Chunyu Jonin activated the jutsu, the body of the boy who had been thrown away suddenly appeared with a sealing jutsu. Then, with a scream, a scarlet tailed beast cloak emerged from his body, and six chakra tails appeared behind him in the blink of an eye, waving and swaying.
"Six-Tails!!"
Witnessing everything, Ishikawa subconsciously said, and in the instant of his surprise, the half-tailed beast Six-Tails opened its mouth and fired a small Tailed Beast Ball at the Tailed Beast Ball.
The Tailed Beast Ball was detonated the instant it approached the Mizukage Building, creating an airburst that reverberated in all directions. The terrifying aftershocks of the explosion swept through the center of the Hidden Mist Village like a Category 13 hurricane, toppling countless buildings and billowing smoke...
As the explosion here triggered a shockwave of wind pressure, the precariously positioned Wind and Water Dragon Ball was also affected and instantly dissipated. The Tailed Beast Ball, which had been pushed to the outer edge of the Hidden Mist Village, finally exploded with a deafening roar!
Fortunately, thanks to the Mizukage's intervention, the Hidden Mist Village members were able to react in time and activate their defensive ninjutsu. Although it was not enough to withstand the full impact of the explosion, it did offset most of the power and reduce the damage.
At least, there were far more surviving ninjas than the Mizukage had imagined...
"Roar! Roar roar!!"
Just as the Mizukage and many Kirigakure were immersed in the joy of surviving the ordeal, the half-tailed beast Six-Tails suddenly roared to the sky and slammed into the air like a cannonball.
"An opportunity! The Three-Tails is no match for the Six-Tails! Everyone, prepare to seal and retrieve the Three-Tails, and kill those two bastards from Konoha!" The Fourth Mizukage's eyes lit up as he shouted angrily, instantly forgetting his earlier compromise.
The others were naturally clenching their fists and gritting their teeth; they wouldn't ignore the pain the opponent had just inflicted on Kirigakure!
"Oh? Is this your confidence?" Above the Three-Tails, Ishikawa, his red eyes sweeping across the entire scene, sneered disdainfully.
Her gaze shifted to the leaping Six-Tails, a fleeting hint of amusement in her eyes. "Rin, the Six-Tails is yours now. Take this opportunity to recover your chakra; we might need to make a move later."
"Understood!" Nohara Rin immediately responded, her massive three-tailed body suddenly shrinking back into her original form.
At the same time, Ishikawa also retracted his chakra wings, holding Nohara Rin around the waist with his right hand and flying in mid-air, while his other hand grabbed the giant sword Samehada that had fallen into the air.
'Genjutsu: Rinnegan!!'
Before she could feel shy, Nohara Rin immediately lifted her headband to reveal her left Rinnegan eye. Her cold, indifferent, rippling pupils met the Six-Tails that lunged at her and she unleashed a fierce burst of power.
[The old man's Rinnegan? How could that be?!]
The moment Liuwei's surprise flashed through his mind, his consciousness was suppressed by his eye power and he was forced back into the sealed space.
In that instant, Nohara Rin reached out and grabbed the Six-Tails' left eye; its pupil trembled. 'Preta Path: Chakra Absorption…'
The next instant, to the horrified gazes of the Hidden Mist Village, the Six-Tails' half-tailed beast form rapidly faded, and its chakra flowed back into Rin's body like water.
"H-How is this possible??"
The Fourth Mizukage, who was too far away to see the Rinnegan, was struck dumb, feeling as if the sky had collapsed!
Losing a Three-Tails was already painful enough for him, but was Kirigakure going to lose a Six-Tails today as well?
