Chapter 104 Peace? Mockery!
After contemplating slightly, the captain of this Sand Ninja unit raised his head and commanded the other Sand Ninja:
"In that case, we will leave this place to the people of the Mist Village. Let us go assist other units!"
Hearing the captain's words, the other Sand Ninja exchanged glances and nodded slightly.
Indeed, there was no meaning in them staying here.
Perhaps the shockwaves produced by their attacks would be enough to injure them; if that really happened, the Sand Ninja would lose all face.
Under the leadership of the Sand Ninja captain, the other Sand Ninja turned around and rushed towards the other units engaged in battle with Konoha.
Regarding the departure of the Sand Village ninjas, Jiraiya cast a faint glance before withdrawing his gaze.
Compared to this group of Sand Ninja, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki before him was the truly difficult one.
As for Utakata, whether the Sand Ninja left or not did not have much influence on him; their presence here was even somewhat in the way.
"Why start a war between ninja villages? Isn't peace what everyone hopes for!"
Jiraiya looked towards Utakata on the opposite side and asked loudly.
Although he knew that this question of his was very stupid, he still wanted to get a clear answer.
Utakata did not answer; the chakra cloak covering his body meant Jiraiya could not see Utakata's expression at all.
But Jiraiya knew that although the other party had undergone the Tailed Beast Transformation, he was absolutely capable of hearing his words.
After a long while, a slightly deep voice came from Utakata's mouth:
"Compared to fighting you here, I would rather my current self could be lying on a tree sleeping."
Jiraiya's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly opened his mouth: "Then why do this!"
Why?
The Tailed Beast-transformation Utakata slowly stood up, and the dark red chakra began to slowly recede from his head, revealing Utakata's original appearance.
When the dark red chakra dropped to the neck position, it stopped.
Utakata's closed eyes gently opened; looking at Jiraiya ahead, his voice was abnormally cold: "Peace? You and I should both be clear that the so-called peace before our eyes is ultimately just an illusion. How long can such peace last?"
Hearing Utakata's voice, Jiraiya wanted to say something, but Utakata's voice rang out again.
"The peace in your mouth is, to us Jinchuriki, the greatest mockery of us. If there really were so-called peace, then how could I, a Jinchuriki, possibly appear before you!"
Master You Dou was right; rather than waiting for the outbreak of the Ninja World War, it is better to resolve it once and for all and completely strangle all wars in the cradle!
"If... if the ninja world were truly peaceful, why do so many people hate us? Why are there so many... so many people dying because of us."
There was a hint of lowness and trembling in Utakata's voice, and his mind involuntarily recalled the appearance of his master.
Jiraiya's expression became slightly stiff, and the words he originally wanted to say could not be uttered for a moment.
Utakata was right; the existence of Jinchuriki in itself is the greatest mockery of so-called peace.
If every village really wanted peace, then why capture Tailed Beasts and create Jinchuriki?
"You are wrong..."
After a long while, Jiraiya uttered three words; just as he wanted to say something more, Utakata had already slowly closed his eyes.
The dark red chakra began to cover Utakata's face again, and a faint voice came from Utakata's mouth.
"Perhaps I am wrong, but right and wrong are never determined by the current situation. Without having experienced true peace, how would you know that the peace maintained by the current state of the Five Great Ninja Villages is correct?"
"Furthermore, in Ninja Wars there is never right or wrong, only victory and defeat!"
As soon as the sound of Utakata's sentence fell, Jiraiya knew that there was no necessity for the two sides to continue talking.
As a Jinchuriki capable of fully manipulating the power of a Tailed Beast, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki before him absolutely belongs to the high-end strength of the Mist Village, or even the high echelons.
Only by capturing the other party might they be able to negotiate with the entire Mist Village.
A quick battle to force a quick decision!
This was the thought that appeared in both Utakata's and Jiraiya's minds at this moment.
Both sides belong to high-end combat power; as long as one side is defeated, it can indirectly affect the entire war situation.
Utakata, who had already half-transformed into a Tailed Beast, had the Tailed Beast Chakra all over his body become even more intense.
Boom!
A dull sound came from Utakata's body, and the next moment, Utakata's body expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Complete Tailed Beast Transformation!
"Roar!!"
A Tailed Beast slightly larger than Gamabunta, resembling a slug, appeared in front of Jiraiya.
"Is this the true form of the Six-Tails?"
Jiraiya paused for a moment, his expression becoming solemn in an instant, and shouted loudly to Gamabunta: "Next, we must use our full strength!"
"No need for you to tell me!"
Gamabunta also let out a loud roar, his body starting to jump forward, while his speed became faster and faster.
Accompanying Gamabunta's movements, the ground beneath his feet seemed to undergo an earthquake, constantly vibrating.
At this time, Utakata had completely transformed into the state of the Six-Tails.
It was more appropriate to call him Six-Tails rather than Utakata.
Watching Gamabunta charging towards him, the Six-Tailed Rhinoceros Dog's body shrank slightly; the several pores on its head aimed in Gamabunta's direction and violently sprayed a large amount of white mist.
Strong Acid Gas!
The moment these gases were sprayed, the entire air was filled with a strong smell of acid decay, and a large number of trees ahead withered and disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Gamabunta, who was running quickly, had his huge eyeballs shrink slightly, but his speed still did not stop.
Thick columns of water sprayed continuously from Gamabunta's mouth, wanting to use the properties of water to neutralize the acidity of the fog surrounding the Six-Tailed Rhinoceros Dog.
Jiraiya, standing on Gamabunta, also formed hand seals with both hands and let out a low shout:
"Earth Release — Swamp of the Underworld!"
Boom!
In an instant, a huge swamp appeared under the feet of the Six-Tailed Rhinoceros Dog, and its massive body began to sink continuously towards the bottom in the swamp!
Seeing this scene, Jiraiya revealed a look of joy on his face, but in the next moment, the smile froze on his face.
The Six-Tailed Rhinoceros Dog let out a hissing sound; its massive body first lay on the ground, and then, its incomparably soft body actually easily pulled itself out of the swamp.
Jiraiya pouted his lips, squatted his body, and patted Gamabunta: "Let's go!"
Bam!
Gamabunta's four limbs exerted force violently, jumping directly into mid-air.
Fire Release — Toad Oil Flame Bullet!
Scorching flames sprayed out, enveloping the Six-Tailed Rhinoceros Dog below.
At the same time, taking advantage of the cover of the flames, Gamabunta's entire body spun a circle in the air; when it appeared again, it had already flown behind the Six-Tailed Rhinoceros Dog.
Gamabunta directly pulled out the short knife hanging at his waist, aimed at the Six-Tailed Rhinoceros Dog's head position, and fiercely chopped down.
