Chapter 110 No, no, you've misunderstood
"I am Mochizuki Souji, a Jonin of Konoha."
Souji stood on Ryunosuke and used Wind Release ninjutsu to amplify the sound and spread it far and wide.
Upon hearing Souji's voice, all the Hidden Mist ninjas couldn't help but tremble violently.
"Announce to all Hidden Mist ninja that your Hidden Mist Village's Kage, the Mizukage, has fallen in battle, killed by my hand."
"I do not intend to commit unnecessary killing. Lay down your weapons and surrender immediately, and I can guarantee your safety."
"Anyone who resists will be killed without exception."
"Now make your choice."
The Souji's voice slowly announced the news.
The Hidden Mist ninja listened with tension and fear. When they heard that the Mizukage had died in battle, confirming the fact and shattering any remaining illusions they held, they all shuddered.
When they were told to surrender, they were both shocked and confused.
This applies not only to the Hidden Mist Village, but also to the Leaf Village ninjas.
Surrender... More than 10,000 people from Kirigakure surrendered?
Although all of the top combatants were killed in battle, Kirigakure launched a nearly full-scale attack this time.
Even with the loss of the Mizukage and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, there are still a large number of Jonin remaining.
Will the Hidden Mist Society be willing to surrender?
Even if they surrender, such a large number of people are too difficult to control. If they find an opportunity to launch another attack...
Almost everyone on both Konoha and Kirigakure was pondering these questions.
The Souji looked around and took in everyone's expressions and attitudes.
Now that even the Mizukage is dead, many people in Kirigakure are clearly very shaken and have little morale.
However, with no leader, everyone looked at each other, waiting for someone else to take the lead and make a decision.
"It seems we need a high-ranking person to take the lead..."
Souji glanced at Utakata, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, who was standing dumbfounded on the back of the Giant Crow, not knowing what to do.
Jinchuriki... have great strength, but that has nothing to do with being respected and respected.
In fact, it's the opposite. Most Jinchuriki are ostracized, which is why Utakata is not one of them.
So...
"All Jonin-level ninjas from Kirigakure, as well as those from prestigious families, should gather here."
"You should take the lead in making the decision!"
The group of Jonin from Kirigakure and the people from prestigious families that Souji had pointed out looked at each other, but they knew that the matter had to be resolved.
So they whispered a few words to each other and then walked down to where Souji was.
Souji first grabbed Utakata, who was still in a daze, gathered chakra on his fingers, pressed it against Utakata's abdomen, and added the Four Symbols Seal to Utakata's original seal.
This completely seals the six tails within Yagura Karatachi's body to prevent any unforeseen changes or complications.
As for the True Dragon Nine Seals, it's similar to how it took several Akatsuki members several days to extract the Tailed Beast from the Jinchuriki in the original story.
The True Dragon Nine Seals will also take a long time, so it can't be done now.
After applying the seal, Souji allowed Ryunosuke to slowly descend to the ground, but he did not follow him down.
Instead, he remained standing on Ryunosuke's head, forcing the Kirigakure members to look up to speak to him, making them clearly aware of the difference in their abilities.
"Huh? That's... Mei Terumi?"
Although a large number of people had gathered, a 10-year-old girl stood out among them, and Souji immediately recognized her as the person who should have become the Fifth Mizukage in later generations.
According to Konoha's archives, Mei Terumi comes from a top-tier family in Kirigakure and is related to the Grand Elder, Genji. She possesses two bloodline limits and is known as a prodigy in Kirigakure, receiving great respect.
However, Mei Terumi is still too young, having only recently been promoted to Special Jonin.
In this context, he certainly wouldn't stand out in terms of strength, but his background is quite prestigious, even higher than some of the most ordinary Jonin.
Looking at these people, since they were all important Jonin or members of prestigious families, Konoha had intelligence files on them, and Souji recognized them all.
Among them, there are five elite Jonin who are of the highest rank and qualified to participate in political discussions. These people consciously stepped to the front.
One of them spoke in a deep voice:
"Mochizuki Souji, are you really going to make us surrender?"
"That's right, it seems our current strength is insufficient to continue fighting you, but we have over ten thousand ninjas.
Aren't you worried that our surrender is just a pretense…"
The Souji immediately replied:
"I killed all your Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, so you must be itching to kill me on the spot. Your surrender is definitely a lie; you don't even need to guess."
"As for your possible sudden attack... sorry, even the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and the Mizukage are gone, what do you think you can do?"
"What do you mean?!" These elite Jonin were immediately angered.
"No, no, you've misunderstood. I'm not saying you can't do anything. What I mean is, even if you all come at me together, you'll just be throwing your lives away."
Souji smiled and took out a kunai, a gesture that sent a chill down the spines of all the Kirigakure members.
These seemingly ordinary kunai, in the hands of Mochizuki Souji, have killed the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and even... the Mizukage!
Souji brandished his kunai and laughed:
"If you are really not satisfied, you can make a move now. If you insist on dying with the Mizukage, I will not stop you."
"Anyway, if you don't surrender, there will always be others who are willing to surrender.
It's not a bad idea to get rid of the troublemakers who would rather die than submit first."
"How's it going? Anyone want to go?"
Souji first pointed his kunai at the five elite Jonin who came out.
Their expressions changed, cold sweat poured down their backs, and they became extremely solemn and tense. The anger that had just risen because of Souji's provocation had long been forgotten.
Even the Mizukage died from this kunai, and they didn't think they had any way to resist it.
As ninjas, especially elite Jonin who have been through countless battles and have faced life and death countless times, they are not afraid of dying, but they are afraid of dying in a meaningless way.
If they were confident they could fight Mochizuki Souji, they wouldn't hesitate to risk their lives.
But if they made a move now, they would clearly only die a worthless death...
The Souji took the kunai, removed it from the five elite Jonin, and then pointed it at the others one by one.
Everyone trembles with fear when facing a kunai.
Naturally, the vast majority of them are unwilling and resentful, thinking about how to fight back.
But once a kunai is pointed at them, their mentality immediately becomes the same as that of the elite Jonin. They are not afraid to risk their lives, but they die without any value...
In the end, everyone remained silent with their heads down.
"I have already allowed you to challenge me."
"Since no one else wants to go up, I suppose you are all willing to surrender.
So you can set an example and announce to the other Kirigakure ninjas that all of you Jonin have unanimously agreed to surrender."
