Chapter 104 (Patreon)

- Let's leave the Sannin with the Jinchuriki from Kiri, while we ourselves help the rest of the squads! - He looked thoughtfully at his personnel and finally loudly commanded the leader of Suna’s squad.

Hearing the commander's order, the Suna shinobi looked at each other and nodded in agreement, there really was no point in them staying here.

The best solution would be to simply get out of here, since they could suffer even the simple consequences of the battle of these terrifying monsters.

That's how the commander led the remnants of his squad to help other Suna squads, who continued to resist the forces of Konoha.

Jiraiya, of course, noticed Suna's hasty retreat, but quickly spat on them, because the Jinchuuriki was more dangerous... much more dangerous than a half-dead squad of shinobi!

This also did not affect Utakata in any way; on the contrary, the Suna shinobi flickering under his feet sometimes prevented him from fighting calmly.

– Why start a war between great villages, isn’t it better to live peacefully in peace? – Jiraiya asked loudly.

Sannin, of course, realized the senselessness of this question, but still wanted to finally clarify the situation for himself personally.

To which Utakata responded with silence.

His facial expression was not visible due to the dark red coating of the Bijuu's condensed chakra.

But Jiraiya knew that the enemy heard his question perfectly, despite being in the second form of a jinchuriki.

“You know, personally, I would prefer to doze off on a tree branch alone with myself than to fight here with you,” after a short silence, a calm voice still came from the Jinchuriki’s animal mouth.

-Then why are you here? – Jiraiya’s eyes lit up.

Why am I here?

Then the dark red chakra of the Bijuu retreated a little, showing as always a calm, even lazy expression on Utakata’s face, and stopped clearly in the neck area, as if it was under his complete control.

– Are you talking about living in peace? You understand no worse than I that this peace and tranquility around is just a pitiful illusion that is destined to collapse, with or without me! – At first he closed his eyes, then sharply opened them and said Utakata, looking coldly at Sannin.

Jiraiya wanted to answer, but was abruptly interrupted by the Jinchuriki's continued speech.

“Your so-called “PEACE” is nothing more than a mockery of Jinchuriki like me. You know, Sannin... if this world existed not only in your words, but also in reality, then the Jinchuriki would not be standing in front of you now! - Utakata continued coldly and added to himself: “Yudao is absolutely right, why wait for the next world war to start, if you can work hard once to always enjoy a calm and peaceful life in the future?”

– And... if this world of yours really exists, then why is there so much hatred in it, why is there so much blood and death in it, why is it our fault... so many people die, tell me? – the jinchuuriki’s voice grew heavier with every word spoken, and before his eyes was the image of the deceased mentor Harusame.

Jiraiya's face tensed at what he heard, his eyebrows knitted together on the bridge of his nose, and the previous words never left his lips. He had nothing to object to here. After all, if you think like that, Jinchuriki, by their mere existence, spit in the face of the so-called world as it is imagined.

Why even capture the Bijuu and create Jinchuriki if the Great Shinobi Villages really want peace?

“You are deeply mistaken...” the Sannin said slowly after a short silence, but just at that moment Utakata hid his face again.

– Maybe so, who knows, because everyone looks at life from their own bell tower. But then how do you know that the so-called world of the Five Great Shinobi Villages is true if you have never seen another? – The Jinchuriki said calmly, gradually covering his face with a layer of dark red chakra, and then added indifferently. - And in general, why all this talk about right and wrong, if among shinobi only the winner has always been right?

After these words from Utakata, even Jiraiya finally realized that further conversations were pointless.

Not just any Jinchuriki, but as far as he can judge, the ideal Jinchuriki of the Six-Tails is most likely among the elite, and perhaps even the very top of Kirigakure. So if he is quickly captured, Konoha will have a chance to negotiate with Kiri...

We need to do this as quickly as possible!

Now Jiraiya and Utakata were thinking about the same thing.

The result of this battle will indirectly affect the entire battlefield!

From such thoughts, the dark red cover around the Jinchuriki’s body pulsed ominously, rapidly filling with even more power.

Booom!

A short moment later, a rumble came from Utakata's body, and it began to grow wildly, like by leaps and bounds.

Tailed Beast Mode!

“Waaaaah!!!” – in a matter of seconds, a huge white slug with two legs and six tails appeared in front of Jiraiya, surpassing in size even the giant Toad Boss under his feet.

– So this is what the true appearance of the Six-Tails is? – Jiraiya suddenly became serious and turned to Gamabunta. “Now we have to fight with all our might!”

- I know without you! – Toad Boss snapped and energetically jumped forward, rapidly increasing the speed of his huge carcass.

Such a sharp sprint of a giant toad, if you can even call it that, caused a real earthquake in the adjacent territory of Konoha.

Utakata by this moment had finally transformed into Bijuu, or, to be more precise, it was already Saiken, not Utakata.

Without thinking twice, the Six-Tails directed a series of holes that served as its mouth towards the madly rushing carcass of the Toad Boss, and sharply exhaled from them a huge amount of thick fog.

Release of Caustic Alkali!

All greenery instantly withered and decomposed at the slightest contact with this gas, and the air became unsuitable for breathing.

Seeing this, Gamabunta narrowed his eyes sharply, but despite what was happening, his huge carcass continued to rush forward, but a massive stream of water gushed out of his opened mouth. Toad Boss was once again trying to weaken the alkalinity of the Six-Tails' gas with a large-scale water element technique!

Meanwhile, on his head, Jiraiya made a series of hand seals and loudly exclaimed, "Doton: Swamp of the Underworld!"

Pooh!

The very next moment, a huge swamp formed under the Six-Tails’ feet, which began to suck in its massive carcass!

But very soon the victorious smile disappeared from Jiraiya’s face.

Before his eyes, the fiercely roaring Saiken first lay down on the edge of the swamp, and then easily pulled his elastic and slippery carcass out of it.

- Let's do it again! - Jiraiya exclaimed, squatting down and patting the Toad Boss on the head.

Bang!

And then Gamabunta soared into the sky again.

Cato: Toad Oil Flame Shot!

Then a terrifying stream of flame, burning everything in its path, descended on the Six-Tails below.

Taking advantage of the fact that Saiken was distracted by the stream of flame, Gamabunta's huge carcass turned around in the air and landed behind him.

Upon landing, Gamabunta again unsheathed his tanto and slashed downwards straight at the Bijuu's head, putting all the energy of this flight and his gigantic carcass into this blow.

Decapitation with the Toad Sword!
