Whenever Mizuki thought about facing the Rinnegan, he trembled with fear.

How difficult is it to fight against Pain's Six Paths?

Shuimu did not dare to slack off at all, even when surrounded by friendly forces.

The human wave tactic is useful against the Rinnegan, especially for Nagato who is in poor health. As long as there are enough lives to fill the gap, he will always be exhausted to death. But how many ninja lives are needed to do this?

One thing is certain, ordinary ninjas have no ability to resist the Rinnegan that is ready to fight to the death.

Shizune, whose control of the Four-Directional Sealing Array was suddenly taken away by Mizuki, did not delay too much. She ordered the medical ninja who was still safe and sound to pack up, rescue her companions, and then prepare to leave.

"Master, I want to stay and help."

Mizuki shook his head. It was too unreliable for him to fight against Pain directly with just the novice Sage Mode.

"There are too many wounded. Go somewhere else first. This is not your battlefield."

As he spoke, the aura generated by the chakra fluctuations emanating from Mizuki's body made it impossible for anyone to get close to him.

Mizuki looked at the huge water ball in the sky. The powerful gravitational attraction had come to an end. It should be that Nagato's chakra could not hold on. However, such a large amount of water suspended in the sky was always a threat.

"Let the team stay as far away as possible, this place is too dangerous!"

With the help of Chibaku Tensei to clear the field, Pain's Six Paths are approaching the Three-Tails Isobu and the Six-Tails Jinchuriki Hanedaka with a menacing look. The resistance along the way can't cause them any trouble at all.

"Hurry up, it's almost too late."

It’s not that Shuimu is anxious, but there is really no other way.

Although Chibaku Tensei did not cause devastating consequences due to the terrain, Pain's Six Paths still had a huge advantage.

After the friendly forces had almost retreated, Shuimu slowly released the four-sided sealing formation that bound the three-tailed Isosuke.

Now there is no way to think about how to capture the Three-Tails. When Tendo Pain uses the extremely powerful Chibaku Tensei at all costs, the mission is almost a failure.

The situation was critical, so Shuimu naturally mobilized all the strength he could.

The physical clone and Yan Yu walked forward.

"Have you decided?"

Shuimu asked in a deep voice.

"Of course, nothing can make one's existence more felt than the choices we make now."

I have always been treated as an appendage of Mizuki's body. If I had the choice, I would do something that could leave a deep mark in the ninja world. Nothing would be more satisfying than now.

"Our physique was not originally suitable for being a Jinchūriki, but after many transformations and replacing our entire body with super cells, we have made great improvements. Moreover, after using shadow clones to replace and being a fake Jinchūriki for so long, we should be familiar with this feeling..."

"How can this be the same?"

Mizuki waved his hand.

"Anyway, there's no choice. Let's get started!"

The three-tailed Isosuke under him could no longer tolerate anyone restricting its movements after Mizuki undid the seal and gradually regained consciousness.

Kazuhiko began to form hand seals, while his original body, along with the remaining clones and Yugao, covered the rear and blocked the advance of Pain's Six Paths.

"What are you going to do with the three tails behind?"

Yu Gao was a little worried. After all, it was the treasure of the Hidden Mist Village and he couldn't just leave it there.

"Don't worry, just hold off the enemy for a while."

"Really?"

Yugao was a little suspicious. He really couldn't think of any way to control the three-tailed beast in such a short time.

Mizuki smiled.

"It's up to you to do what you can. By the way, it's almost time for you to do your best!"

The six-tailed Rhino has difficulty in moving, so even if it is used as a standing turret, it is enough to deal with the enemy, but it cannot face Pain's Six Paths, and must have companions to help.

Yugao nodded, knowing that Mizuki was talking about the complete tailed beast transformation.

Indeed, now is the time to fight with all one's might. The Mist Ninja, who were closest to them, suffered heavy losses, while the Konoha Ninjas were far away and in a slightly better situation. Although one suspected that Mizuki, as the temporary commander, was biased, now was not the time to worry about this. This was originally a matter of the Hidden Mist Village, and it was only because of their lack of strength that Konoha took the lead in the action.

Kazuhiko at the back took a look at the original body and the four clones that transformed into five lava humanoid monsters blocking the front, and he began to perform the sealing technique he had prepared.

The three-tailed Isobu under his feet seemed to be aware of the danger as pieces of ice began to appear around his body, preparing to attack Kazuhiko, but it was too late.

"Is there any way to subdue a tailed beast in a short time? There is naturally no other way except sealing technique, and what is more suitable as a container for sealing than Jinchūriki?"

That’s right, Mizuki’s contingency plan is that if it fails, he will make the best and worst-case scenario plans and directly send the combat power of the three-tailed Isobu into the battlefield.

Although Xianglin was a good candidate, fighting? Forget it. Maybe she would just lose her life for nothing.

So, Shuimu had to come alone.

Moreover, it would be great if there was a physical clone willing to take on this role.

"I've used the Bagua Seal a few times before, but it's really indescribable to use it on myself!"

Kazuhiko sighed softly and waved his hands. A large ball of chakra light spread out, wrapping around the Three-tailed Isobu and slowly devouring it. It then kept tearing apart the Three-tailed's huge body, slowly compressing it, and finally turned into a stream of chakra and disappeared into Mizuki's abdomen. The power fluctuations dissipated, and the Three-tailed Isobu disappeared, leaving Kazuhiko slowly adapting to the feeling of becoming a complete jinchūriki for the first time.

"Is this kind of prying gaze filled with strong hatred the pressure that the Jinchūriki must face all the time?"

Kazuhiko smiled bitterly.

The little Shukaku that had long been tamed in Takuma's body would basically not cause any trouble to Mizuki, either in terms of will or strength, but a complete tailed beast was not that simple.

Carefully feeling the seal and the tailed beast within his body.

The power is relatively stable, but the transition is not smooth enough. It seems that this is caused by the difference in qualifications of the Jinchūriki.

Kazuhiko had a strong feeling that if he just stayed like this, never trying to borrow the power of the Three-Tails throughout his life, and didn't overdraw his physical strength and chakra, giving the Three-Tails Isobuki in his body a chance to backfire, he would be safe and sound until he was old and weak and could no longer maintain the seal.

The first One-Tail Jinchuriki, the highly accomplished monk of the Wind Country, Bunpuku, used this method to suppress the One-Tail Shukaku for decades.

But if he were to use the power of the tailed beast, Kazuhiko had no confidence that he could control it.

"As expected, this is a road where one is likely to die?"

Although it was expected, no miracle happened. Fate will not favor lives beyond the standard.
