Chapter 673: One Hundred Ways to Seal a Tailed Beast

In the Ninja World, anything that touches upon the name "Six Paths" is never an ordinary object.

These five Six Paths Ninja Tools are naturally no exception; each possesses unfathomable power.

These five Six Paths Ninja Tools were ultimately inherited by the Kumo ninja brothers, Kinkaku and Ginkaku, who were said to possess the bloodline of the Six Paths.

As for the fate of the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers, there is naturally no need to elaborate.

In the end, after the Third Raikage finished off the rebellious Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers, these five Six Paths Ninja Tools naturally fell into the hands of the Third Raikage.

And the Amber Purifying Pot is precisely one of them.

This earthenware pot, which looks like a water vat but is named a "pot," has a very simple function: it serves as a container for sealing.

In the original story, after the Third Raikage fought the Eight-Tails several times, whenever there was no suitable jinchuriki, he would choose to seal the Eight-Tails within the Amber Purifying Pot.

Therefore, the Amber Purifying Pot has the ability to act as a container for sealing Tailed Beasts.

Right now, Mizunuki Ryosuke is asking Kumo for the Amber Purifying Pot, and his purpose is naturally to use it as a temporary container to seal the Four-Tails.

At this moment, Mizunuki Ryosuke arrived beside the Four-Tails. He first opened the wooden stopper on the Amber Purifying Pot, then began to weave hand seals with both hands, starting to apply a sealing jutsu to the Four-Tails.

As Mizunuki Ryosuke finished his hand seals, he slowly placed his hands onto the body of the Four-Tails, which had already been frozen into an ice sculpture. Immediately, a large amount of pitch-black, ink-colored mysterious patterns surged from his palms, forming nine ink-colored chains.

The Nine Palaces Seal—the strongest sealing jutsu taught by the Sage of Six Paths—was used once again.

Only this time, the target of the seal had been changed to the Four-Tails.

Soon, following the traction of the nine ink-colored chains, the massive body of the Four-Tails transformed into a vast amount of crimson chakra, which was drawn into the Amber Purifying Pot.

A long time passed.

As the very last wisp of the Four-Tails' chakra flowed into the Amber Purifying Pot, Mizunuki Ryosuke immediately covered it with the lid.

A clear "Seal" character appeared on the body of the Amber Purifying Pot.

Subsequently, Mizunuki Ryosuke did not stand on ceremony and directly placed the Amber Purifying Pot, which held the Four-Tails, into the sealing scroll he carried with him.

Regarding this, the Kumo ninja, including Dodai, naturally dared not voice the slightest objection.

Never mind a pot; given the current might of this Fourth Mizukage, even if he demanded their lives, they would have no choice but to hand them over without a word.

With the successive defeats of Tsuchikage Onoki, the Four-Tails jinchuriki Roshi, and the Four-Tails Son Goku, the morale of the Iwa ninja had hit rock bottom.

Almost all the Iwa ninja had lost their will to fight; under the encirclement of the Kumo ninja, they began to shrink back, suffering defeat after defeat.

After the brutal slaughter, of the 30,000 Iwa ninja troops that had initially arrived in the Land of Moon, less than half remained.

Despite this, the remaining ten thousand-plus Iwa ninja were still a force that could not be underestimated.

Do not underestimate the combat power of these ordinary ninja; even if Mizunuki Ryosuke were to take action personally, killing all these Iwa ninja would require a massive amount of time and chakra, and most importantly, success would not be guaranteed.

One must know that even someone as strong as Uchiha Madara (Reanimation), the Majestic Destroyer Flame he released could be blocked by the combined Water Style of twenty jonin.

If they truly fought to the very last moment, I fear not many Kumo ninja would remain on this battlefield.

The final outcome of the battlefield would be a crushing defeat for the Iwa ninja and a pyrrhic victory for the Kumo ninja.

Such an outcome clearly did not align with Mizunuki Ryosuke's expectations, and his many schemes were, on one hand, to achieve victory.

On the other hand, they were also to avoid such an outcome as much as possible.

In his vision, what he wanted was merely a "severely injured" Iwagakure and a Kumo ninja force that still had strength to spare, rather than a completely "crippled" Iwagakure and a "half-dead" Kumo ninja force.

Therefore, what Mizunuki Ryosuke needed to do next was to make these ten thousand-plus Iwa ninja accept the outcome of defeat and raise their hands in surrender.

"Snap!"

At this moment, Mizunuki Ryosuke slowly raised one finger and snapped it at the air.

Subsequently, a massive figure with a dreamlike body was reborn, bathed in the breeze of the sky.

"ROAR!!!!"

The massive, transparent body, resembling glazed glass, flapped its wings and soared, ultimately landing before Mizunuki Ryosuke with a roar.

The Ice Long Wang, which had been smashed to pieces during the battle with Roshi, had revived once again on this land.

Mizunuki Ryosuke leaped lightly and jumped onto the head of the Ice Long Wang.

At once, the Ice Long Wang flapped its wings again, and its massive, majestic body soared into the sky.

The Ice Long Wang flew toward the center of the Iwa ninja cluster; there lay the command post, the heart of the Iwa ninja.

At the same time, the last high-ranking official of Iwagakure active on this battlefield—the Tsuchikage's son, Kitsuchi—was also staying in this command post. ===== CHAPTER 675 =====
