Uchiha Shisui brought Shibuki, whom he had rescued from the flames, to the Takigakure leader.

Anxious, Shibuki had no time to thank the Konoha Anbu who had saved his life, and hurriedly ran to his father's side.

"Father!"

Shibuki rushed out and looked at his father, whose hair was gray and whose face was covered with wrinkles.

His eyes were unfocused, and only a faint trace of consciousness was barely holding him together.

The leader of Takigakure is dying.

Hero's Water is not a rare treasure rich in chakra; it forcibly accelerates the cell division and regeneration of the drinker.

It accelerates cell division at 10 times the normal rate.

There is a limit to the number of cell divisions a person can make. Once the limit is reached, a person will age and eventually reach the end of their lifespan.

Hero's Water is more like a super stimulant or a catalyst.

The person who drinks it is fighting with their own lifespan.

"Wade...wood..."

The leader of Takigakure concealed his aura, lacking even the strength to raise his eyes, his breathing so light it seemed as if it might stop at any moment.

But she still struggled to call out to her child.

"Father--"

Shibuki cried, gripping the Takigakure leader's hand tightly.

The leader of Takigakure instructed Shibuki: "...No...no...don't cry...be strong...protect...the villagers..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the leader of Takigakure stopped breathing completely; he was dead!

"Father!!"

Shibuki held the corpse of the Takigakure leader and wept bitterly.

Jiraiya, witnessing this tragedy, clenched his fists and questioned Nagato and Konan.

"Nagato, Konan, what on earth have you done?"

Jiraiya's worst fears were realized: Nagato had already made it clear that he wanted to follow Madara Uchiha in establishing a genjutsu world.

He ultimately embarked on a path of hostility towards the entire ninja world.

Konan did not answer Jiraiya's question; she was confronting Kakuzu.

Nagato said to Jiraiya, "Jiraiya-sensei, this is a necessary sacrifice on the path to peace!"

"You see the scars of one tree, but you don't see that the whole forest is already riddled with holes. This world needs to be saved."

"And the way to save this world is—Project Eye of the Moon!"

Jiraiya roared, "Invading other people's villages, killing children's fathers—is this what you call peace?"

"..."

Nagato remained silent. He didn't want to kill anyone; they had only come to Takigakure to take the Seven-Tails.

If Takigaku refuses to give it to them and insists on taking strong drugs and fighting desperately, what can they do?

In fact, the one who caused the most damage to this village was Kakuzu, whom Jiraiya brought with him.

His indiscriminate release of powerful ninjutsu burned down the ancient trees of Takigakure, and the Takigakure ninjas were anxiously trying to put out the fire.

Moreover, the seven tails on its head also made a gesture to make the world feel pain.

Jiraiya advised, "Nagato, come back! Yahiko is dead. He will not be resurrected. Don't pursue an unrealistic world anymore."

The name Yahiko completely triggered Nagato's sensitive nerves.

He shouted, "Jiraiya-sensei, have you ever experienced my pain? My parents were mistakenly killed by Konoha ninja when I was young."

"Yahiko and Konan brought a ray of light into my dark world. Yahiko told me that he would become the god of the world and end all the curses in the ninja world."

"But he failed, and the idea of ​​reaching mutual understanding through dialogue also failed, but no one was willing to believe us."

"Yahiko failed, Akatsuki failed, and now Madara Uchiha has given us a way to end the curse, and you're telling me that's an unrealistic world."

"Jiraiya-sensei, I ask you, how do you plan to end the endless war in the ninja world?"

Nagato's words silenced Jiraiya.

He thought for a long time before saying, "Nagato, I can't give you an answer, but the Third Shinobi World War has ended under the threat of Madara Uchiha."

"The conflict between the five great ninja villages has also been resolved. Now we have a common enemy. Madara Uchiha brought both war and hope for reconciliation among the five great ninja nations."

Nagato responded, "So, Madara Uchiha is a peace ambassador?"

"this--"

Jiraiya scratched his head and thought about it; it really was true.

The five great ninja villages and the five great ninja nations all abandoned their past grudges and stopped holding grudges because of Madara Uchiha's threat.

From this perspective, Madara Uchiha's contribution was quite significant, and the five great ninja nations should award him a peace prize.

Seeing that Jiraiya was speechless after being talked to, Nagato became even more convinced of his own path.

The fact that even the enemy acknowledges us proves that we did the right thing.

The more the enemy opposes us, the more it proves that we are right.

If enemies, friends, strangers, everyone falls silent, it means we've done an impeccable job, leaving them speechless.

Just then, the Seven-Tails let out a loud insect chirp, and then its chakra surged out from its body like boiling waves of ink.

Its head was slightly lowered, its mouth was wide open, and a jet-black, high-density chakra ball gradually condensed and took shape at its mouth, transforming into a perfectly round, jet-black, high-density sphere.

"Oh no, it's a Tailed Beast Ball!"

Seeing this, Jiraiya and Nagato stopped their ideological debate and simultaneously unleashed ninjutsu to block the Seven-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball.

Jiraiya didn't really have any ninjutsu to defend against Tailed Beast Balls; his ninjutsu were all oil-fire ninjutsu with wide-range attacks.

Jiraiya could dodge Tailed Beast Balls whenever possible.

However, at this moment, the Seven-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball covers all the ninjas below.

Once the Tailed Beast Ball lands and explodes, its range is enough to blast all the ninjas of Takigakure into the air.

"Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"

Jiraiya combined Gamaken's chakra to unleash a massive earthen wall hundreds of meters high, shielding the Takigakure ninja below from behind.

Nagato's secret techniques are even more amazing.

He formed hand seals, and ten golden chains of chakra extended from his back, hurtling towards the Seven-Tails' flight path at incredible speed.

Jiraiya was shocked: "This is Kushina's technique!"

No, this is a unique ability of the Uzumaki clan—the Vortex Lockdown!

In the original work, Kushina was severely injured due to childbirth and the extraction of a sliver of blood from the Nine-Tails.

However, at that time, Kushina, who was in a state of near-death, used the Adamantine Sealing Chains to bind the fully-formed Nine-Tails, assisting Minato Namikaze in completing the Reaper Death Seal and the Eight Trigrams Seal on the Nine-Tails.

In the Fourth Shinobi World War, when facing Tobi's Thousand Hands Technique, Karin unleashed the Adamantine Sealing Barrier, directly suppressing the low-powered version of the Thousand Hands Buddha.

The Adamantine Sealing Barrier can suppress tailed beasts and Wood Release techniques; it is the signature secret technique of the Uzumaki clan.

This move can only be used by someone with the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan.

The Adamantine Lock was given to Nagato by Madara.

Nagato's Rinnegan was taken away by Madara, leaving him with few trump cards. Madara then instructed him to fully develop his bloodline.

The Uzumaki clan are descendants of the Senju clan, and their sealing techniques and bloodline are comparable to those of the Uchiha clan.

Nagato anticipated a battle with a tailed beast when he came to Takigakure to capture the Seven-Tails, so he learned the Adamantine Sealing Technique beforehand.

Moreover, his body contains spores of Liaowu, and the released Vajra Lock not only has the effects of sealing and suppressing, but also absorbs chakra.

Even in her severely weakened state, Kushina could control the fully-formed Nine-Tails with the Adamantine Sealing Chains, let alone the Seven-Tails.
