Chapter 245 The Collection is Complete

No matter how sluggish Mizukage is, he now knew that something is wrong.

'It seems, as if, probably... Rokubi doesn't need my help.'

After all, he has been the Mizukage for many years. With his intelligence, he quickly clarified the general process of what actually happened before.

"That bastard sensed that I was coming, and deliberately pretended that he was about to successfully seal Rokubi, leading me to take action and cooperated with him to seriously injure Rokubi!"

Bijū is indeed very strong, but it also depends on who the enemy is. If it is already having a hard time against Sōseki, now that it was attacked by Mizukage's attack, even Kyūbi might not be able to withstand it.'

If Mizukage has some more time, he might be able to see through the other party's plot, but the problem is that the situation at that time looked very urgent, and he could only make judgments based on what he saw and the information he heard.

'I didn't expect that the other party also took into account the reactions of those ordinary Shinobi. And that huge seal image that looked rather bluffing should be used to mislead them.'

'To be able to make such a reaction in such a short period of time, what a terrifying brat!' Mizukage widened his squinting eyes, as if he wanted to see clearly the other party, 'Is this a real genius? Not only in strength, but his mental intelligence far beyond ordinary people!'

'Because of this, the original two-on-one situation became one-on-one with a burden added, no, maybe it has become a one-on-two situation...' After looking at the killing intent coming from Rokubi, Mizukage's heart is full of helplessness.

The battlefield where the fierce battles happened was temporarily suspended due to the arrival of Mizukage.

The Kirigakure's side originally wanted to cheer excitedly, but after seeing the strange situation in the field, they stopped cheering.

"It seems that something is not right."

"Is it just an illusion? Why do I feel that Mizukage-sama looks a little wronged?"

Sōseki calmly put away the scroll. As he has managed to collect the Rokubi's chakra, he doesn't bother to waste any more energy.

After all, Mizukage is much more difficult to deal with than Rokubi.

Perhaps in the eyes of an ordinary person, Bijū is the ultimate weapon that cannot be beaten.

But in his opinion, the Kage of the villages are the real troublesome characters to deal with.

After all, the strength of a Bijū just lies in its size, strength, vitality, and chakra.

For size and strength, he can use summoned beast to deal with it, as for vitality, he can just seal them, and as for chakra, his current chakra is no less than a Bijū.

Coupled with the mobility of Flying Thunder God Technique, the so-called Bijū is just a mobile fort in his eyes.

Of course, this does not include the perfect Jinchūriki and Kyūbi.

Relatively speaking, the real trouble is a Kage, who has reached the pinnacle of combat experience and Ninjutsu mastery.

Of course, it's just troublesome.

The difference here is that he can defeat Jinchūriki head-on, but against the Kage of the villages, if they don't make mistakes, he can only exhaust them to death, which requires them to not escape.

'However, this is only the case for these powerful Third Kage.' Sōseki shook his head secretly, 'If it is the shame of the three Kage that came to the position after the Fourth Shinobi World War in the original work, I can beat them easily with one hand.'

Seeing that Sōseki didn't seem to have the intention of making another move, Mizukage breathed a sigh of relief, and then he restrained Rokubi with the Water Prison Technique and sealed it again.

Rokubi was seriously injured, and the seal on Shingetsu's body is arranged by him. Without external interference, it is not too difficult for him to seal the Rokubi back.

After doing all this, Mizukage opened his mouth and said in a deep voice, "Let's stop here today, this war may be over!"

Hearing his words, all of the Shinobi from the three villages were taken aback.

'Is the war really going to end?'

Suddenly, everyone's fighting spirit gradually dissipated.

'This bastard is pretty quick in finding the way out for himself.' Although he silently cursed in his heart, A did not refute Mizukage's words, "Except for the few of us, everyone's chakra should be almost bottomed out. If you don't want to fight in a one-man show, just listen to Mizukage."

Jiraiya was silent for a moment and then released his summon, "Treat the wounded!"

Not only Kirigakure and Kumogakure, but also many Shinobi from Konoha were obviously relieved.

Then, the three parties began to exit in an orderly manner.

Asuma walked over, lowered his voice and asked, "If the war is about to end, what will happen to Kakashi?"

"The war is indeed about to end, but not now." Sōseki pondered and then said, "At least three months, it may be as long as half a year!"

Asuma then wondered, "Isn't that Mizukage not going to fight anymore?"

"You believe him when he says it?" Sōseki looked at him helplessly and sighed, "This is just a scene where he needs to step back for himself. If he really wanted to continue, he can just find any reason."

"Also, this is also a means of his use of power to suppress people. Now that the anti-war sentiment is serious, if we refuse his proposal, he can just slandered us on the spot by saying that we disregard people's life for our own benefit."

"These old fellows are really more sinister than each other!" Asuma shook his head and sighed, "Speaking of which, are Kumogakure and Kirigakure's Shinobi all idiots? At this time, they still don't choose to join forces."

"That's because, even if they join forces, it's pointless!" Jiraiya's voice came from the side.

Asuma subconsciously asked, "Pointless?"

"Otherwise, why do you think they didn't join forces? You should know that even if they join forces, nothing will change." Jiraiya shrugged, "However, thanks to the peaceful ending between you and Iwagakure, it gave them hope, otherwise, their attitude would not be different from this."

"If that's the case, then why are they fighting?"

"You have to understand that after they released the wild beast of war from the cage, the development of the situation has been out of control. Before locking this wild beast into the cage again, the conflicts that have accumulated for a long time must be released."

Asuma nodded in understanding, "You mean, their real goal is actually each other?"

"You can say that, but we can't let our guards down either." Jiraiya said with a serious expression, "If it was possible, they wouldn't miss the opportunity to bite off a piece of meat from Konoha!"

"These relationships are really complicated. It's really overwhelming!" Asuma sighed, covering his head.

"By saying that, I didn't undermine your strategy, am I?" Sōseki looked towards Jiraiya and asked.

"Haha, don't worry." Jiraiya said with a smile, "The way you broke the balance is just right. Now that Rokubi's Jinchūriki is seriously injured, Kumogakure may not be able to hold back anymore."

Sōseki nodded slightly, "Once Kumogakure make up their mind to attack Kirigakure, then Iwagakure will also take action. The involvement of the three parties should speed up the end of the war."

"It seems so. "Jiraiya rubbed his chin and said with a smile, "It seems that this Sage can finally be freed from this boring war!"

"Yes, I can finally be freed." Sōseki agreed, but he is thinking in his heart, 'If Black Zetsu is still plotting as he usually does, I might be able to bring this war to a grand end!'
