Chapter 60: 60. Mizukage Surrenders
"Damn it!"
Inside his mental space, Yagura Karatachi couldn't help but curse.
Who could have imagined that his strongest attack would end up giving the enemy an opportunity instead?
Now, he was stuck in a one-against-three situation. Worse still, the enemy had two hostages—how was he supposed to keep fighting under these conditions?!
"Kid, this is bad."
Even the Three-Tails, Isobu, spoke in a serious tone.
"That guy has both the Mangekyō Sharingan and Wood Release—it puts us at a major disadvantage."
As a Tailed Beast, Isobu knew better than anyone how terrifying the Mangekyō Sharingan and Wood Release could be.
After all—
The legendary Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama both wielded these bloodline abilities.
And in Isobu's long, long lifetime, there were very few times it had been completely dominated—but those two humans had done exactly that.
This memory was etched deep into its mind.
Hearing Isobu's words, Yagura's face grew even darker.
He hesitated, unsure what his next move should be—
But before he could decide, Danzo acted!
There was no way Danzo was going to give Yagura time to think.
When it comes to negotiations, you have to apply constant pressure to get the best possible deal.
In a flash, he teleported directly in front of the massive Three-Tails using Water Body Flicker!
Then—
Facing away from Fugaku and Minato, Danzo unleashed his Mangekyō Sharingan.
A terrifying, overwhelming ocular power exploded forth—
Like a sharp blade, it stabbed straight into Yagura's mental space.
"You don't have much time left… young Mizukage."
The moment Danzo entered his mind, Yagura's mental world started shaking violently.
The lake beneath them turned into a raging maelstrom, waves crashing wildly.
Yagura's expression twisted in anger.
"Shimura Danzo!"
He gritted his teeth as he spoke the name.
But then—
When his eyes locked onto Danzo's right eye, a flicker of disbelief flashed across his face.
"Why do you have the Uchiha Clan's Mangekyō Sharingan?!"
Danzo merely smirked and spoke calmly:
"That's not something you need to know, young Mizukage."
Danzo's repeated use of "young Mizukage" finally pushed Yagura over the edge.
His face twisted with fury.
"Since you've delivered yourself to me… don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Behind him—
A massive black shadow suddenly rose up.
The Three-Tails!
It curled up its three tails, hunched its body, and tucked in its limbs—transforming into a spiked, armored ball.
Then—
With its impenetrable shell, it launched forward with unstoppable force, aiming to crush Danzo beneath it!
Like a giant rolling boulder, it tore through the stormy waters, carving a path straight toward its enemy.
Danzo stood amid the raging waves, his body rising and falling—
But his expression remained calm as ever.
"Now then… let me show you the true power of the Uchiha."
Suddenly—
A sinister red glow flared in Danzo's eyes.
An icy, oppressive force filled the entire mental space.
It was as if an invisible power was binding the Three-Tails, slowing it down more and more under the Mangekyō Sharingan's power!
Then—
Danzo raised his hand and clenched his fingers into a fist.
At that moment—
Countless tree branches erupted from the lake, wrapping around the Three-Tails, binding it tightly!
Back in the real world, Danzo had already leaped above the Three-Tails.
Then—
He slammed his palm onto its massive shell.
Chakra Devouring Seal—Activated!
In an instant, a massive surge of Tailed Beast Chakra began pouring into Danzo's body, flowing into him without end.
The Four-Symbol Seal on his abdomen, which had been nearly depleted due to the Flying Thunder God battle and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, was now being rapidly replenished!
Inside Yagura's mental space—
The Three-Tails, which had been struggling fiercely against the Wood Release bindings, suddenly felt weak.
It could feel its Chakra draining away rapidly!
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, Yagura Karatachi had no other choice but to cooperate with Isobu to condense a Tailed Beast Ball and blast it within his own mental space.
The purpose of this was to use the intense fluctuations of the Tailed Beast Ball to break the control of the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Of course, doing this within his own mental space would inevitably cause some mental damage.
But Yagura couldn't afford to care about that right now.
Just as the Tailed Beast Ball was about to explode, Danzo tactfully withdrew from Yagura's mental space.
Immediately after, the full-body Tailed Beast transformation was undone.
Its massive form shrank rapidly, eventually reverting to that of a child.
However, Yagura now looked much more battered than before.
Fresh blood trickled from his nostrils, and his face was deathly pale.
"Lord Mizukage!"
Seeing this, Ao's emotions were stirred.
But Fugaku quickly clenched Susanoo's hand, causing Ao to let out a scream of pain.
Mei Terumi's expression darkened, and cold sweat dripped down her back.
Although Minato seemed warm and gentle, she was almost certain that if she made even the slightest move, he would not hesitate to send her to the afterlife!
"I believe we can have a proper discussion now, Lord Mizukage."
After storing away the Three-Tails' chakra, Danzo once again displayed his polite demeanor.
Looking at his two captured comrades and the Three-Tails wailing in his mind, Yagura forced a smile despite the blood at the corner of his lips.
"I think there may have been some misunderstandings between us, Lord Danzo."
After experiencing Danzo's iron fist, Yagura finally became obedient.
He completely abandoned the idea of capturing Danzo to use him as a bargaining chip with Konoha.
Given the current situation, it seemed like it would already be a blessing if he and the Three-Tails weren't taken captive themselves!
Thus, what had started as a 3v3 battle had now turned into a 5v1.
Why 5v1?
Because Mei Terumi and Ao had been sealed and tossed behind Minato and Fugaku.
With his childlike appearance, Yagura felt incredibly bitter inside.
He never expected the negotiation would turn out like this.
If he had known, he would have just negotiated properly from the start…
Meanwhile, Danzo was in quite a good mood.
He sat on a rock, behind him the ruins of a shattered mountain.
"Now, we can finally talk about peace talks," Danzo said leisurely, before adding a reminder, "And now, I have two more bargaining chips."
Hearing this, the strong-willed Mei Terumi felt insulted and shouted angrily:
"Danzo, you bastard! If you have the guts, just kill me! I refuse to be humiliated like this!"
Danzo glanced at her with interest and sneered.
"Apologies, but I have no interest in conversing with defeated opponents."
Just as Mei Terumi was about to retort, Danzo casually split a few sheets of paper from his fingertips and stuffed them into her mouth, reducing her to muffled grunts.
"This…"
Ao wanted to say something, but Fugaku silenced him with a punch to the stomach.
Seeing that both captives had quieted down, Danzo nodded at Yagura with satisfaction.
"Now that it's peaceful, perhaps we can finally begin our official discussion, Lord Mizukage."
