The surging power and the unbridled feeling made Shuimu almost forget that the power without reason would always make him pay the price at the right time.

"Is this how a Jinchūriki fights? This kind of power is much stronger than the tailed beasts' instinctive drive to fight..."

The extreme violent force was completely different from Mizuki's previous methods. Even in the life-or-death battles where he risked his life to earn a glimmer of hope, he had never completely lost control of his body and strength like now. The three powers stimulated by natural energy in the body interacted with each other, producing this strange effect. It was precisely because these powers were vaguely connected that Mizuki was not torn into pieces under the impact of the huge force. However, it was somewhat similar to the way the Jinchūriki's chakra leaked, and the natural energy that infiltrated Shukaku's chakra gave Mizuki incredible power, but it still brought great pressure to Mizuki. Fortunately, there were also senjutsu chakra and the power of the curse seal that greatly strengthened Mizuki's body, allowing Mizuki to burst out with huge power and not die in this situation where he was hovering on the edge of life and death, and even temporarily suppressed Shukaku with his power.

…

The originally fierce battle became confusing with Shukaku's unexpected actions. Just when most people thought that Mizuki and Hidan, who had been attacked by Shukaku at close range, would suffer a great loss, unexpectedly, Mizuki encountered an unexpected change. With his incomparable strength, he directly suppressed Shukaku, and even used his extremely exaggerated physical strength to play with the war weapon of the tailed beast, which was beyond people's expectations.

The one who could see all this most clearly on the battlefield was undoubtedly Hyuga Neji, who had the Byakugan. Through the fog of the battlefield, Neji, who understood everything clearly, couldn't help but ask, "Is that really Captain Mizuki? That red chakra that penetrated his body... No, is that really chakra?"

"You're right, Neji, that was indeed Mizuki." Yamashiro Aoba replied, "I didn't expect to be pushed to this extent. This time it's really bad."

"Can a ninja do this? Can he fight this kind of monster head-on?" Aburame Shino on the side couldn't help but ask.

"Of course there is. Isn't there one over there?" Yamashiro Aoba pointed in the direction of Mizuki, and then continued, "The Fifth Hokage - Tsunade-sama can do this, and maybe Jiraiya-sama can do it too..."

"Does that mean that Captain Mizuki already has the strength of a Hokage?" The topic of Naruto is a hot topic that every Konoha ninja must be interested in.

"How is that possible!" Yamashiro Aoba shook his head, "Hokage is not as simple as you see. Besides, I know Mizuki quite well. Although I know that this guy who likes to plan ahead must have prepared a lot of backup plans, this is definitely not in his plan..."

"Unexpected power?" After hearing Yamashiro Aoba's answer, Hyuga Neji and Aburame Shino also felt that things were a bit troublesome.

Most of the desperate moves kept as trump cards have extremely serious side effects. A very typical example is the three-color pill of the Akimichi Chouji family. After taking it and delivering a fatal blow, it will cause death. And this is still within expectations. If you gain an extremely strong power beyond imagination, then the side effects will definitely be so great that it will make people despair.

"In the end, we are still useless?" For the first S-rank mission, Aburame Shino and Hyuga Neji, who have always lived in the praise of geniuses, were actually quite looking forward to it. In the end, not only were they completely unable to intervene in the battle between the jonin, but they also failed to complete the original auxiliary mission. Problems occurred one after another. In the end, they watched their seniors charge into battle and fight desperately, but they were helpless. This huge gap made the two genin feel very frustrated.

"What are you thinking about?" Yamashiro Aoba patted the shoulders of the two Genin and said comfortingly, "Don't you see that I can't help at all in a battle of this magnitude? After all, I am still a special Jonin! Besides, who said you were not useful? You have already helped a lot."

Yes, these two people did help a lot. Not to mention the previous reconnaissance and several key reminders, they also cooperated with Yamashiro Aoba to entangle Kakuzu. Kakuzu's water-attributed heart, which was about to be broken by Mizuki's heavy punch, finally collapsed under the pressure. Among them, Aburame Shino's insect manipulation technique played an indispensable role, and Neji's soft fist and white eyes also helped Yamashiro Aoba resist Kakuzu's tentacle iron fist and the invasion of the earth's grudge many times.

Affected by this, Kakuzu had to release several heart-attribute monsters to offset the disadvantage in numbers.

However, just when the physical duel here was about to turn into a ninjutsu showdown, the unexpected events of Shukaku and Mizuki completely alarmed everyone on the battlefield.

Mizuki overwhelmed Shukaku and Hidan with his own strength, forcing Kakuzu to carefully consider whether to continue to entangle. No matter whether it was the tailed beast or Hidan, if one of them was killed, it would be a big trouble for Kakuzu. As a last resort, Kakuzu quickly got rid of the harassment of Yamashiro Aoba and the two Genin, and hurriedly ran towards the direction of Hidan and Shukaku.

…

Mizuki, who knocked Shukaku down unexpectedly with his enormous power, also consumed a lot of his strength. This huge consumption made Mizuki feel mixed emotions. The power that kept growing gradually became a burden that Mizuki could not bear. With the increase of natural energy, Mizuki also continued to increase the supply of chakra. At this rate, the chakra collected by the Breathing Technique would not last long. When Mizuki's own chakra was completely used up, what would be waiting for Mizuki, only God knew. Whether he was swallowed to death by natural energy, or completely eroded by the curse seal into a crazy monster, or turned into a tailed beast chakra and completely exploded, these were all unacceptable consequences for Mizuki.

Mizuki, who was in a hurry, didn't want to waste too many opportunities. Shukaku, who was crawling on the ground, hadn't reacted yet. Mizuki clenched his right hand, and the giant red energy hand quickly turned into the shape of a claw. The claws, as sharp as a knife, immediately scratched Shukaku's head, taking away a large piece of sand.

"How could Gaara be hidden so deeply without being discovered? Is it because Shukaku's will is too active and too violent?"

Unlike the last time when Uzumaki Naruto broke Gaara's sleeping technique with just one punch, this time he was passively taken over by Shukaku, and then he actually hid his real body so secretly.

Mizuki had no choice but to speed up his search for Gaara.

Unfortunately, at this moment, Kakuzu arrived.

"Lightning Release - Pseudo Darkness."

Before the people got close, the fastest lightning escape arrived first. From the mouth of a lightning escape monster whose face looked like an evil spirit, a sharp lightning spear with amazing destructive power and extremely fast speed came in front of Shuimu in the blink of an eye.

Mizuki was hit directly because he couldn't dodge in time. Fortunately, the energy shield surrounding Mizuki effectively blocked the direct damage of the lightning escape technique, but the power of the ninjutsu did not disappear. A huge explosion, with a huge air wave, directly knocked Mizuki over. The power of the explosion blasted a small circular pit on the nearby ground.

Then, Mizuki, who was not yet stable on his feet, had not yet reacted when another powerful escape technique attacked him in the blink of an eye.

"Fire Style - Head Hard Work."

The flames spewed out from the mouth of the round-faced fire-attribute masked monster quickly spread, enveloping Shuimu.

"This layer of what looks like a tailed beast coat greatly enhances my strength, but is it also a heavy burden? My physical fitness in Sage Mode, speed and flexibility have decreased a lot. And this feeling of despair, is it going to turn me into a mindless turret?"

The natural energy that was not completely under his control gave Mizuki the power to control the entire scene, but it also limited Mizuki's convenience in using the arm as before. In addition, the natural energy wrapped in the chakra of the tailed beasts made Mizuki's perception and judgment of the outside world obviously deviated. Almost everything he saw seemed to be stained with a layer of blood mist.

However, even if the vision is poor, Mizuki will not make mistakes with Kakuzu's attribute heart monster of that size.

Mizuki, who had just been roasted by Kakuzu's fire escape, did not suffer too serious injuries. His natural energy effectively blocked the invasion of flames.

Since the injury was not serious, Mizuki didn't waste any more time. The giant red energy hand grabbed Shukaku's tail again, swung Shukaku and smashed it towards Kakuzu's several heart attribute monsters.

Such power forced Kakuzu to control the monsters to dodge, and the next attack could not be carried out.

"Is this what absolute power suppression looks like? No matter how you change, I can swing Shukaku and beat you to death, and you still have to admit defeat."

Although this mindless fighting method is not in line with Shuimu's habits, it is actually quite satisfying to use it at the appropriate time.

After returning the damage that Kakuzu had just done to him, Mizuki stretched out his left hand again, and another giant energy hand stretched out, which was controlled by Mizuki and completely messed up everything around Kakuzu, leaving him no longer able to use his hands, and relying on the advantage of the large number of monsters to hit Mizuki, a living target.

Such a crazy attack is also very stressful. However, for Mizuki, this is also a last resort. Mizuki can already sense that the power of Shukaku's chakra is on the verge of the next explosion. The power is getting stronger and stronger, but it also brings great risks. Just look at Mizuki's current attack method to know that he avoids close direct contact with Shukaku as much as possible, for fear of another accident. If the tailed beast chakra really gets out of control again, causing the Sage Mode to collapse, then, maybe Mizuki will really passively become a Jinchūriki, and there is even a possibility that Shukaku will directly revive him and completely break the seal.

Therefore, the rapid consumption of natural energy and Shukaku Chakra can prevent it from accumulating to a certain extent and directly forming Shukaku Chakra clones. Mizuki, who is used to controlling everything in his hands, has no habit of keeping a tailed beast clone in his body.

However, whether this thirst-quenching behavior of drinking poison can completely flatten the entire battlefield before the Sage Mode collapses becomes the key to life and death.

The tense state of the battle actually tests people's patience the most, especially Shuimu, because what they lack is time.

The biggest threat on the battlefield, the One-Tailed Beast Shukaku, has been humiliated by being thrown around like a sandbag for several times. After he finally recovered, he was jealous and hated Mizuki's methods. Shukaku is a playful beast by nature, but he is not as crazy as the Nine-Tailed Beast. With slightly weaker strength, he is already a relatively gentle one among the nine tailed beasts. If it weren't for the excitement of being released after being locked up for a long time, he would usually hide in a sandy place to entertain himself. This time, the rage was more because of what Mizuki did to him.

If it was any other problem, Shukaku might have just run away, but Mizuki's behavior was too bad and he absolutely could not tolerate it. Even if it was a rare human master, he had to fight.

Shukaku, who was repeatedly pinned to the ground by Mizuki and unable to move, could no longer hold back. His violent struggle also put great pressure and threat on Mizuki.

Taking this opportunity, Kakuzu managed to take a breath and recovered a little.

However, it is unlikely that Mizuki will face multiple enemies at once. Without the troublesome Scorpion of the Red Sand, it seems that Hidan, who possesses a strange spell, will not be able to regain his fighting power in a short time. Only Kakuzu is left. Although he is very powerful and has strong vitality and immortality, Kakuzu, who has a visible and tangible heart, is easier to deal with than Hidan, who is almost unkillable.

As expected, Mizuki suppressed Shukaku and prevented him from causing trouble. When only Kakuzu was left, the others would not be fools and would not seize the chance to win.

"Finally, are you going to win by numbers?"

Looking at Maki, Akato, Kurotsuchi, Yamashiro Aoba and Mizuki surrounding him, Kakuzu knew that the situation was hopeless. With Kakuzu's fighting wisdom, he would not let himself fall into such a desperate situation when facing five powerful masters alone. Besides, one of his five lives had already been lost. If he really fought hard here, it would not be worth it if he died completely. Kakuzu, who had lived for so many years, was unwilling to take risks at this time.

Before he was surrounded, Kakuzu quickly retracted the heart monster, nimbly dodged the attack, and then came to the place where Hidan was crushed.

"Master Kakuzu, you're finally here." Hidan, whose body had been smashed beyond recognition, spoke clearly from his relatively intact head, "Come and sew me up quickly. I'm going to curse to death that bastard who hit me with a tailed beast."

"Shut up." Kakuzu released the Earth's Wrath and rolled up Hidan's body randomly, "Let's retreat now."

With that, he ignored Hidan who was yelling and cursing, turned around and left, disappearing into the forest behind him.
