Chapter 955

Angry as it was, the Seven-Tails, having suffered a major loss, did not continue to be stubborn and entangle with the Iwagakure ninja on the ground.

After breaking free, the Seven-Tails did not give the Iwagakure ninja any more opportunities; it flapped its wings and flew into the air, wantonly scattering yellowish dust in the air to paralyze the Iwagakure ninja.

"Damn it!"

Bunya roared, his teeth almost all crushed.

The advantage of the Iwagakure ninja was on the ground; now that his attack had failed and the Seven-Tails had escaped, it made it difficult for the Iwagakure ninja to use the previous method to capture the Seven-Tails again.

Looking at the Seven-Tails, after its huge body took to the air again, it clearly had no intention of landing again.

It hovered in the air, constantly using long-range attacks to attack the Iwagakure ninja on the ground; for a time, a large number of Iwagakure ninja suffered heavy casualties.

The chaos and the commotion on the other side attracted Mizunuki Ryosuke's attention. Looking at the Seven-Tails' massive body in the sky, which was full of deterrent power, Mizunuki Ryosuke's gaze flickered slightly.

A mere Takigakure, all together, did not have anything worth his attention.

The reason he laid out a plan for Takigakure—his purpose had long since been revealed—one of them was precisely for the Seven-Tails!

For Mizunuki Ryosuke, everything that should have been said had been said, and the timing was already completely mature. The seeds he had planted in Takigakure had long since blossomed and borne fruit.

And the Seven-Tails was precisely one of the "sweet fruits" borne on this tree. For the Seven-Tails, Mizunuki Ryosuke was determined to get his hands on it.

Now, he could just use this weak Seven-Tails to "kill the chicken to warn the monkey."

He could both take the Seven-Tails into his pocket and use the Seven-Tails to force Huang Tu to retreat without a fight.

This was not because Mizunuki Ryosuke was afraid of Huang Tu, but because he still had long-term plans for the Iwagakure ninja, and Huang Tu was still of great use to him at this moment.

Yes, as a Jinchuriki who had a Tailed Beast sealed within his body, Mizunuki Ryosuke naturally saw very easily that the Seven-Tails was currently in an unprecedented state of weakness.

In fact, this was also easy to understand, and it was not difficult for Mizunuki Ryosuke to guess the reason.

From the means by which the Takigakure elders unsealed the Seven-Tails, it could be seen that Takigakure Village currently had no Jinchuriki, and the Seven-Tails had been sealed in a vessel before this.

Tailed Beasts are not wild beasts; they are creations of the Sage of Six Paths, and they are also animals with emotions and wisdom. Anyone who had been sealed in a jar for decades would likely accumulate a lot of negative emotions.

Such a dark and sunless seal was precisely the reason why the Seven-Tails was so furious.

The occurrence of such a result was actually perfectly normal. It had only been a few decades since Senju Hashirama convened the Five Kage Summit to divide the Tailed Beasts, and the research of various nations and villages on Tailed Beasts, Jinchuriki, and sealing techniques was still at an extremely shallow level.

Even for the Five Great Nations, their use of Jinchuriki was still at a half-baked stage, let alone Takigakure.

With Takigakure's foundation, it was even difficult for them to develop a mode of coexistence between humans and Tailed Beasts like the Jinchuriki.

Therefore, it was not difficult to explain why the Seven-Tails that broke the seal was so weak.

After all, except for a monster like the Nine-Tails, any Tailed Beast sealed in a jar for decades without the injection of external energy would fall into a state of weakness, right?

Thinking of this, Mizunuki Ryosuke shook his head.

"Ryosuke, this guy Chomei and I are also old acquaintances."

"Show mercy when you take action."

Just as Mizunuki Ryosuke was about to take action, a muffled voice rang in his ears.

The one speaking was Isobu, who resided in Mizunuki Ryosuke's body. Isobu also guessed that Mizunuki Ryosuke was going to take action, so he spoke up to plead for his "old friend."

Hearing this, Mizunuki Ryosuke nodded and agreed to Isobu's request. A strange thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Wherever there are people, there is a world; although the nine Tailed Beasts originated from the same body, they each had their own personalities, so naturally, there were degrees of closeness among them.

The Three-Tails pleading for the Seven-Tails was likely because this turtle and insect had a good relationship before.

After all, when Mizunuki Ryosuke beat up the Four-Tails, Isobu had never pleaded for him.

And as for the reason why this insect and turtle had a good relationship...

Mizunuki Ryosuke guessed it might be because both beasts were crustaceans. He just didn't know that his words had actually become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The conversation with the Three-Tails Isobu did not delay Mizunuki Ryosuke's action against the Seven-Tails.

Just like that, right in front of Huang Tu, Mizunuki Ryosuke used the Iwagakure's secret technique: Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique, his feet leaving the ground as his body slowly floated toward mid-air.

Seeing this, the surrounding Iwagakure ninja were in an uproar. They were naturally very clear about their own signature ninjutsu. When this move appeared on Mizunuki Ryosuke, they found it somewhat difficult to accept for a moment, and they all focused their gazes on Huang Tu, trying to get Huang Tu to give a reasonable explanation.

For a time, Huang Tu was miserable.

Regarding the many costs Iwagakure paid to be able to retreat from the Land of Lightning, some terms were destined not to be made public.

·· ····Begging for flowers··· ····

For example, things that damaged the prestige of the Tsuchikage, such as the Third Tsuchikage going to the Land of Water to become a hostage, and things that undermined the foundation of the village, such as the leakage of secret techniques like Particle Style, Weighted Rock, and Light-Weight Rock.

Once these things were leaked, it would be a huge blow to the prestige of the Fourth Tsuchikage, who had ascended to the position in a hurry.

Most of the information the Iwagakure ninja knew was limited to the level that Iwagakure had been defeated and the Third Tsuchikage Onoki had gone missing and been captured.

And Mizunuki Ryosuke using the Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique in front of all the Iwagakure ninja undoubtedly caused Huang Tu's credibility within Iwagakure to drop another notch.

Huang Tu and the Iwagakure ninja's troubles were far from over. Mizunuki Ryosuke suddenly flew into the air, clearly not to admire the scenery.

"Swish, swish, swish!!!"

Mizunuki Ryosuke indifferently raised a hand, without performing any hand seals, and light blue chakra immediately began to pour into his hand, and a blue chakra sphere suddenly appeared in his hand.

Ninja Art: Rasengan!

To deal with the Seven-Tails, a Rasengan alone was clearly not enough.

Afterward, the ice-colored chakra nature transformation was slowly injected into the Rasengan.

For a time, the light blue Rasengan began to expand constantly, and the color also began to gradually move toward ice blue. Before long, a violently rotating ice shuriken appeared in Mizunuki Ryosuke's hand.

Mizunuki Ryosuke held it over his head, and for a time, a sharp and bone-chilling coldness radiated and permeated toward the surroundings.

Huang Tu looked at the ice shuriken in Mizunuki Ryosuke's hand in horror, and for a time, an icy coldness from the depths of his bone marrow left him stunned on the spot.

What kind of move is this?

He didn't know!
