After a brief moment of contemplation, the Sand Ninja Captain looked up and ordered the other Sand Ninja,
"Since that's the case, we'll leave this area to the Kirigakure people. We'll go assist the other units!"
Hearing their captain's words, the other Sand Ninja exchanged glances and nodded slightly.
Indeed, there was no point in them staying here.
Perhaps the aftershocks from the two-person attack would be enough to injure them, and if that were the case, the Sand Ninja would lose face completely.
Led by the Sand Ninja Captain, the other Sand Ninja turned and hurried towards the other units battling Konoha.
Jiraiya merely glanced indifferently at the departure of the Sand Ninja Village's Ninja before retracting his gaze.
Compared to this group of Sand Ninja, the Six-Tailed Jinchuriki before him was the truly troublesome one.
As for Bubble, whether the Sand Ninja left or not didn't have much of an impact on him; they were even somewhat in the way here.
"Why start a war between Villages? Isn't peace what everyone hopes for?!"
Jiraiya looked at Bubble opposite him and asked loudly.
Although he knew his question was foolish, he still wanted a clear answer.
Bubble didn't reply, his body covered in a Chakra cloak, preventing Jiraiya from seeing Bubble's expression at that moment.
But Jiraiya knew that even though the other party had already undergone Tailed Beast transformation, he could definitely hear what he was saying.
After a while, a slightly low voice came from Bubble's mouth:
"Compared to fighting you here, I'd rather be lying on a tree sleeping right now."
Jiraiya's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Then why are you still doing this?!"
Why?
The Tailed Beast-transformed Bubble slowly stood up, and the dark red Chakra began to gradually recede from his head, revealing Bubble's original appearance.
When the dark red Chakra reached his neck, it stopped.
Bubble's slightly closed eyes gently opened, and he looked at Jiraiya in front of him, his voice unusually cold:
"Peace? You and I should both know that this so-called peace before us is ultimately just an illusion. How long can such peace last?"
Hearing Bubble's voice, Jiraiya was about to say something when Bubble's voice sounded again.
"The peace you speak of, in our eyes as Jinchuriki, is the greatest mockery to us. If there truly was such a thing as peace, then how could I, as a Jinchuriki, appear before you?!"
Lord Yūto was right. Instead of waiting for the Ninja World War to break out, it's better to once and for all nip all wars in the bud!
"If... if the Ninja World was truly peaceful, then why would so many people hate us? Why would so many... so many people die because of us?"
Bubble's voice carried a hint of sadness and a tremor, and he couldn't help but recall his master's face.
Jiraiya's expression stiffened slightly, and the words he had intended to say suddenly seemed to get stuck in his throat.
Bubble was right; the very existence of Jinchuriki was the greatest mockery of so-called peace.
If every Village truly desired peace, then why would they capture Tailed Beasts and create Jinchuriki?
"You're wrong..."
After a while, Jiraiya uttered three words, and as he was about to say more, Bubble slowly closed his eyes.
The dark red Chakra began to cover Bubble's face once more, and at the same time, a faint voice came from Bubble's mouth.
"Perhaps I am wrong, but right and wrong are never judged by the current situation. Without experiencing true peace, how would you know that the peace maintained by the current state of the Five Great Shinobi Countries is correct?"
"What's more, Ninja wars have never been about right or wrong, only about winning or losing!"
As Bubble's words fell silent, Jiraiya knew that there was no longer any need for them to continue talking.
As a Jinchuriki capable of fully controlling a Tailed Beast's power, the Six-Tailed Jinchuriki before him definitely belonged to the high-end forces, or even the leadership, of the Kirigakure.
Only by capturing the other party might he be able to negotiate with the entire Kirigakure.
End it quickly!
This was the thought that simultaneously appeared in the minds of both Bubble and Jiraiya at that moment.
Both sides were high-level combatants; a defeat would indirectly affect the entire battle situation.
Bubble, who was already in his half-Tailed Beast form, felt the Tailed Beast Chakra around him grow even denser.
Boom!
A muffled sound came from Bubble's body, and the next moment, Bubble's body rapidly expanded at a visible rate.
Full Tailed Beast Transformation!
"Roar!!"
A Tailed Beast, slightly larger than Gamabunta and resembling Katsuyu, appeared before Jiraiya.
"Is this the true form of the Six-Tails?"
Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, his expression quickly turning serious as he loudly said to Gamabunta, "From now on, we'll have to use our full power!"
"You don't need to tell me!"
Gamabunta also let out a loud roar, his body beginning to leap forward, his speed increasing rapidly.
Accompanying Gamabunta's movements, the ground beneath them seemed to be experiencing an earthquake, constantly vibrating.
At this moment, Bubble had completely transformed into the Six-Tails Tailed Beast state.
Instead of calling him Bubble, it would be more accurate to simply call him Six-Tails.
Watching Gamabunta charge towards him, Six-Tails Saiken's body contracted slightly, and the several pores on his head aimed at Gamabunta, suddenly spewing out a large amount of white mist.
Corrosive Gas!
The moment these gases were sprayed out, the entire air was filled with a thick, acrid smell, and the large area of trees in front rapidly withered and disappeared at a visible rate.
Gamabunta, who was rapidly approaching, his huge eyeballs slightly constricted, but his speed did not slow down.
Thick streams of water continuously sprayed from Gamabunta's mouth, attempting to neutralize the acidity of the mist around Six-Tails Saiken using the properties of water.
Jiraiya, standing on Gamabunta, also formed hand seals and let out a low shout:
"Earth Release - Swamp of the Underworld!"
Rumble!
In an instant, a massive swamp appeared beneath Six-Tails Saiken's feet, and Six-Tails Saiken's enormous body began to sink continuously into the swamp!
Seeing this, Jiraiya's face showed joy, but the next moment, the smile on his face froze.
Six-Tails Saiken let out a hiss, its massive body first lying on the ground, and then, its incredibly flexible body effortlessly pulled itself out of the swamp.
Jiraiya pouted, crouching down and patting Gamabunta, "Let's go!"
Bang!
Gamabunta's four limbs suddenly pushed off with force, leaping directly into the air.
Fire Release - Toad Oil Bullet!
Scorching flames spewed forth, engulfing Six-Tails Saiken below.
At the same time, Gamabunta used the flames as cover, turning his entire body in the air, and when he reappeared, he was already behind Six-Tails Saiken.
Gamabunta directly drew the short sword hanging at his waist, aimed it at Six-Tails Saiken's head, and fiercely chopped down.
Shuriken Jutsu - Toad Short Sword Slash!!
