Promoting the Konoha threat theory, and talking about the Hidden Mist Belt!

Seeing this, the many guards around him immediately knew what choice the elder was going to make.

Despite their sorrowful expressions, under the orders of the Grand Elder, they had no choice but to use various methods to restrict the Six-Tails' movements, attempting to create a suitable opportunity to seal it.

Unfortunately, the Vajra Chains, a sealing technique specific to the Uzumaki clan's attacks against tailed beasts, is not something that ordinary people can learn. None of the people present knew this technique.

Although the Grand Elder possessed the ability, his advanced age meant he no longer had the power to restrict the tailed beasts' movements. Furthermore, both the "Dead Demon Seal" and the "Eight Trigrams Seal" required restricting the opponent's actions to activate.

So for a time, this group of people had the will to fight to the death, but had no opportunity to use their skills.

"If we can't even handle one of the six tails, how can we be worthy of Takumi's sacrifice?"

Just as the Grand Elder was about to recklessly activate the forbidden technique, Yoshio Uzumaki finally arrived at the battlefield.

"Sealing Technique: Vajra Lockdown!"

Wow!

With a series of loud shouts, golden chains rose from all directions, wrapping around the six-tailed fox's body in layers.

hold head high!

Having finally escaped, the Six-Tails, now imprisoned, immediately recalled those dark and hopeless days of confinement.

Fueled by both old and new grudges, he roared angrily, and a black light suddenly appeared in his mouth. Accompanied by a violent surge of chakra, the black light rapidly grew larger.

"That's... a Tailed Beast Ball!"

"Quick! Stop it!"

Yoshio Uzumaki's expression changed, and he tried his best to stop him.

However, at this moment, the Six-Tails, under the fear of being sealed, suddenly unleashed boundless power and used the Vajra Chains to firmly restrain them!

The Vajra Chains, originally meant to restrain the Six-Tails, have now become the chains that restrain them instead!

hum!

hum!

The Six-Tails' mouth opened slightly, and under the watchful eyes of everyone present, the chakra ball was growing at a visible rate!

"Water Release: Spirit Circle Slash!"

At this critical moment, a thin disc streaked across the sky, drawing a perfect arc before disappearing into the Six-Tails' mouth, hitting the bullseye.

boom!

A violent roar exploded from the Six-Tails' mouth, and the frenzied chakra reaction instantly shut down the Six-Tails' brain, causing its massive body to sway uncontrollably from side to side.

"good chance!"

Yoshio Uzumaki's eyes lit up, and he quickly led a large group of Uzumaki ninja to use various methods to strengthen the suppression, taking advantage of the gap in the Six-Tails' mental shock to suppress it to the ground.

However, now that the suppression is in place, the question of how to deal with the Six-Tails has become a problem.

The container for sealing the tailed beasts cannot be just any ordinary thing; the simplest and most direct method is to use a human as the container.

In the current situation, the most suitable candidate would be someone from the Uzumaki clan.

"Zongren, come here!"

Yoshio Uzumaki sighed inwardly. If it weren't absolutely necessary, he would never want his family members to become the Six-Tails Jinchuriki.

Putting aside the perils of fighting against the Tailed Beasts day and night after becoming a Jinchuriki, the very fact that such a strategic deterrent force is in the hands of an outside ninja clan is hardly a good thing. Even if others don't say anything because of the marriage alliance, it doesn't align with the Uzumaki clan's strategy of recuperation and development.

The whirlpool clan leader clearly understood why the clan leader had summoned him, and despite the dangers involved, he walked over without hesitation.

But just then, a figure stepped forward and blocked his way.

"Since Lian is so heartless and insane as to release the Six-Tails for his own selfish reasons, what use is this Water Shadow?"

"The position of Water Reflection shall be occupied by the virtuous!"

With these powerful words, Hozuki Shingetsu stood in front of everyone present, looking directly at the Six-Tails that had been suppressed to the ground.

"If we wish to quell the fog and concealment, who else in this world could do it but me?"

"To protect the village, we begin with these six tails!"

This was the first time Hozuki Shingetsu had publicly criticized the Mizukage, no longer trying to smooth things over by claiming the Mizukage was being misled by his subordinates; instead, he directly targeted Ren.

This was also the first time he had expressed his desire to compete for the position of Mizukage in front of everyone.

Although everyone knew he intended to do this, he had never revealed this intention in public.

However, at this critical moment when the Hidden Mist Village is in turmoil and both the Three-Tails and Six-Tails are running rampant, Hozuki Shingetsu no longer hides his ambition.

"伱......"

Yoshio Uzumaki looked at Shingetsu Hozuki with a complicated expression.

Although he was well-informed and knew that Hozuki Shingetsu was trying to win people over and gain fame, hearing such remarks at this moment and in this setting still made him feel extremely excited and his blood boil.

When a leader with a promising future and a distinguished status is willing to risk his life and sacrifice himself to protect others in a time of crisis, his personal charisma will be amplified infinitely.

If he was like this, one can only imagine how the young ninjas present were.

The dangers of becoming the Six-Tails' Jinchūriki are self-evident. And these dangers are not limited to the sealing process, but also lie in the fact that every day and night after becoming the Jinchūriki, one must constantly fight against the spirit and will of the Tailed Beast.

It can be said that after becoming a Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast, Hozuki Shingetsu will never have the word "rest" again.

His life will always be accompanied by "abnormality".

Especially when they thought that Hozuki Shingetsu, who was originally of noble status, did not need to take such risks, but only did so out of his passion for the village, the ninjas present all looked at Hozuki Shingetsu with admiration.

"If he became the Mizukage, working under him would definitely feel very safe, right?"

Involuntarily, some people imagine it this way.

For any subordinate, a superior who can protect them at all times and whom they can trust wholeheartedly is a rare and precious find.

However... what they didn't know was that the danger they perceived was insignificant to Hozuki Shingetsu.

With his cheat-like abilities, Hozuki Shingetsu could become the Six-Tails Jinchuriki without any risk.

As for what to do if Six-Tails doesn't want to... well, if it doesn't work the first time, just try again!

Time will tell, and Liuwei will eventually be "moved".

Of course, since Hozuki Shingetsu wants to gain fame and prestige, he can't just target ninjas.

As his chakra spread, his words "unintentionally" echoed across the land, lingering in the ears of the villagers who had just been attacked by the tailed beasts and displaced.

At this critical moment, when a village has just been attacked by a tailed beast, suffered severe property damage, had its family torn apart, and was in a state of extreme anxiety, the emotion that arises from the depths of an ordinary person's heart when they hear that a leader of noble blood is willing to sacrifice himself to protect the village is indescribable.

Not to mention that Hozuki Shingetsu clearly pointed out the root cause of this riot—Ren!

It was Ren's selfishness that led to the Six-Tails' rampage and their current tragic state.

Therefore, the more miserable they were at this moment, the more they hated Lian; and the more they hated Lian, the more they loved Hozuki Shingetsu.

In an instant, all the survivors of the ruins looked in the direction of Hozuki Shingetsu, their eyes filled with tears, expressing their gratitude for his kindness in different words.

"That's Hozuki Shingetsu, the young patriarch of the Hozuki clan! I knew he was different from the others!"

“That’s right. When we encountered difficulties before, only this person was willing to help us, and only he truly treated us like human beings!”

"A timely rain, this is truly a 'timely rain' for Kirigakure!"

At this critical moment of widespread anxiety, all the groundwork laid by Hozuki Shingetsu erupted. Thus, under Hozuki Shingetsu's impassioned vow, these words from all directions gradually merged, ultimately coalescing into a single sentence that echoed throughout the heavens and earth:

"Ghost Lantern Shadow, Mist-Hidden Rise!"

With the army's morale high, great things can be accomplished!

Hozuki Shingetsu smiled, but the fist that had been clenched in his sleeve finally relaxed.

When he heard those words, he knew that he had made the right decision to stand up at that moment and volunteer to become the Six-Tails Jinchuriki in front of everyone.

Indeed, the moment he heard about the Six-Tails' rampage in the banquet hall, he immediately thought of this moment.

No one knew that Hozuki Shingetsu had long wanted to become the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, and he could not possibly give up this crucial piece of the puzzle—Sage Mode at full power.

No one knew that Hozuki Shingetsu's cheat ability allowed him to ignore the dangers of the process and the risks afterward. Conversely, everyone knew that becoming a Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast was fraught with risk.

He had been racking his brains trying to find a suitable Jinchuriki to become, since Kirigakure wasn't wealthy enough to sacrifice a promising genius to become a Jinchuriki.

Just then, Ren's actions helped Hozuki Shingetsu, and this information gap led to a scene comparable to Liu Bei throwing his child – the young Hozuki clan leader, a high-ranking member of Kirigakure, was willing to sacrifice himself to save the village.

When faced with a greater cause, who can stand in our way?

How stark is this in contrast to the contemporary Mizukage who released the Six-Tails for his own selfish reasons?

the most important is……

"These lines are so cool!"

After all, who hasn't enjoyed the feeling of stepping forward and turning the tide when a crisis strikes, when the sky is falling and everyone else is helpless and about to give up?

The ability to save a collapsing building and turn the tide is a spiritual challenge that is virtually insurmountable for men, and how could Hozuki Shingetsu not be deeply captivated by it?

"Sir, let me handle this. In case something goes wrong..."

Deeply moved, Uzumaki Munen immediately went up to replace Hozuki Shingetsu.

"No need for further words! As long as I am alive, I will never let you take any risks!"

Hozuki Shingetsu quickly refused him.
