After hearing Jiraiya's words, Mizuki finally understood that a strong person with a strong sense of self has such a strong desire to maintain his own will.

"It seems that mankind is going to go all the way down the path of rebellion."

Although it has long been understood that humans are not welcomed by this world, and the accident has led to the separation of the will of humans and the ninja world, after gaining the power to control chakra, humans are no longer willing to be compared to the stubborn stones on the roadside, and the desire to control their own will in the collective unconscious gradually prevails.

"Then, the matter of reclaiming chakra is actually in the interests of this world. What Kaguya Otsutsuki wants to do is actually consistent with the will of the world, but the person who does it, Kaguya Otsutsuki, is even less popular than the human group."

"Is what we are going to do from now on a fight for control of chakra?"

"Fundamentally speaking, it is true. Obtain more chakra and control them. That is what we have to do. This is where the Sage Mode comes from. Using your own chakra to leverage natural energy is the most effective method so far, except for the tailed beast chakra. Unfortunately..."

"The Sage Mode gives us great power, but it also brings corresponding dangers. The invasion of natural energy is non-stop, and the danger of integrating into nature also comes from this. We use natural energy, but isn't natural energy also subtly changing us?"

"Fighting an enemy whose true identity is unknown is really a troublesome job. Master Jiraiya, have we achieved any decent results so far?"

"Results? Haven't you seen it?"

"I have seen him before?" Mizuki was stunned at first, then he suddenly realized, "I see, Jinchūriki? A leaf can block your view of the mountain, and the guy right in front of you is always unconsciously ignored."

Such a huge source of chakra is controlled by humans. With nine immortal beings, as long as humans exist, the tailed beasts can be resurrected infinitely, and the Jinchūriki are the support of humans.

Mizuki couldn't help but think of the purpose of the Six Paths Sage to split the Ten Tails. He was originally born as the guardian god of mankind, but due to mankind's greed and bad nature, he directly adopted more brutal means to achieve this goal, and unscrupulously used it in the human civil war.

"You understand? It's easy to talk to a smart person like you. If it was little Naruto, I don't know how much effort it would take to make him figure it out."

"You are too kind."

Jiraiya's reminder about Jinchūriki also made Mizuki understand why the Uzumaki family's physique suitable for Jinchūriki was so valued, not only because of its terrifying vitality and superb sealing skills, but also because of a deeper meaning. Tsunade even forgot Mizuki's many faults, just because she saved a little girl of the Uzumaki family bloodline.

"I gained a lot from talking to Master Jiraiya today. I am grateful."

Jiraiya waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. You know, in the superficial fights among humans, at least the five major ninja villages have maintained a tacit balance. But in the battles hidden in the dark against unknown enemies, there are actually not enough people, and everyone is arrogant and doesn't get along with each other. So it's quite lucky to have a capable helper."

"In that case, please give me more guidance in the future."

"Well, do you have any questions?"

"One last question. What is their stance on sacred places for summoning beasts, such as Myoboku Mountain?"

"Them?" Jiraiya hesitated, then said, "They can be trusted, but not relied upon."

Jiraiya seemed reluctant to elaborate. "Since you asked this, you must have discovered something. But I can tell you responsibly that at least for now, they have no ill intentions. These non-human intelligent species can be of great help to humans, such as the Sage Mode. We can regard their methods in the Summoning Contract as a reward to them. We can also ignore some of their hidden tricks as long as they are not a big problem."

"I see." Although he didn't say anything specific, his attitude towards them was clear. "That is to say, we can still treat them as allies now."

"Yes, they need us too."

"I understand the logic. If the sky falls, the tall people will be the first to hold it up."

"Huh?" Jiraiya was confused at first, but then he understood. "This description is indeed very appropriate. When the sky is about to fall, the tallest one will naturally come to support it first. And we humans are the tallest one, taller than all other races combined. They will not let us fall first."

This complex relationship can be best described by a sentence from the previous life. "When Qin lost its deer, the whole world chased it." The invasion of the sacred tree caused the ninja world to lose its ability to fully control, and chakra is its embodiment. Intelligent creatures that were completely unable to resist in the past, after gaining the ability to control chakra, began to have additional needs after mastering the power. After the world itself lost control of part of the chakra, it is not so easy to take it back. Humans, who are the first to bear the brunt, are the representatives of unruly and unruly. They are also subject to the most severe restrictions, and the difficulty of practicing the Sage Mode is unexpectedly high. Other intelligent races, out of the need for common interests, temporarily stand on the side of humans. Although not very reliable, at least they are close comrades-in-arms before humans fall or win.

"Then, what Master Jiraiya is concerned about now must be the affairs of the Akatsuki organization."

"Yes." Jiraiya nodded seriously and said, "The organization that directly targets the tailed beasts and Jinchūriki has been standing on the opposite side of us from the beginning."

"I understand." In the confrontation with the Akatsuki organization, as long as Mizuki's position is not problematic, the Konoha Village Hokage represented by Tsunade and Jiraiya will be his strong backing. This is no longer just a war between humans. The Akatsuki organization, which is targeting the nine tailed beasts and the Jinchūriki, is the common enemy of all mankind.

Mizuki and Jiraiya talked for a long time. In the past, due to the difference in status and cognition, the two had no common topics at all. However, this time, they had a very good chat about natural energy, Sage Mode, Sage Arts, etc.

"Then, what should we do? Master Jiraiya, if we refuse to integrate into nature physically and mentally, is the only way to sense the energy of nature the Tailed Beasts' Chakra?"
