Chapter 84 - 78-defeat Iwa

After the Kazekage killed the Jinchuriki, all Iwa forces became frightened and their morale greatly lowered, making it easier for Konoha and Suna's forces to kill them.

The Kazekage carried the body of the Jinchuriki using iron sand, Ryuu tried to recover the Jinchuriki from the Kazekage, which started the fight again, after fighting for 15 minutes, the Third Kazekage and Suna's forces withdrew with the body of the Four-Tailed Jinchuriki.

After that, the Iwa forces tried to retreat as well, but Konoha's forces started chasing them, killing more Iwa forces.

Hours later, the fighting ended, and Konoha's forces assembled and began to return to the camp.

Unfortunately, Konoha lost one of its elites (Dan) in the battle, it seems that he was killed by someone from the Iwa forces.

... ... ... ... ... ...

A few kilometers away from the battlefield, Ryuu sat on a rock and with the Kazekage standing in front of him, Ryuu spoke, "Where is the Jinchuriki?"

"I tied it up and put it in a hidden place a few kilometers from here, I used some pretty good seals I think even Black Zetsu won't find it easily." the Kazekage said while throwing a map toward Ryuu. On the map is the location where the Jinchuriki are being held.

Yes, the Jinchuriki didn't die. Ryuu faked it and kidnapped him, he didn't kill him because when the Jinchuuriki dies, the tail monster's chakra will scatter and take a long time to gather, and Ryuu doesn't want to waste time looking for the tail monster after reassembling the chakra.

"Looks like you liked this shape, you haven't done the transformation technique yet." Ryuu said while looking at his clone who was in the form of the Third Kazekage.

"It is fun and beneficial to use this form in combat." The clone smiled as he looked at his body.

"You're right, it's very useful, we were able to transfer the hatred of Iwa village that occurred due to the killing of the Jinchuriki to Suna Village." The transformation technology has been upgraded from Grandmaster to 'Advanced Grandmaster'. At this level, the technique can allow Ryuu to transform into anyone he's seen before, and the transformation is so perfect that the people closest to that person might not even notice the difference.

"Anyway, what do you want to do now with the jinchuriki?" The clone asked Ryuu.

"We won't do anything to him. We will keep him trapped while one of my clones guards him. After all, I don't have someone to seal the Tailed Beast inside and it is of no use to me right now." Ryuu sighed.

Fortunately, the Shadow Clone skill had leveled up from 'Grandmaster' to 'Advanced Grandmaster'. When the skill reached this level, the shadow clone could still exist even if Ryuu fell asleep or fainted, so Ryuu wouldn't have to worry that the shadow clone guarding the jinchuriki would disappear because of his sleep.

Ryuu looked at his clone and the corner of his mouth raised a smile, "I have another task for you."

... ... ... ... ... ...

After a few days passed, news spread that Suna's forces and the Kazekage were entering into the fight between Konoha's forces and Iwa's forces, and that the Kazekage had killed the Four-Tailed Jinchuriki.

This news shocked all the ninja villages, no one expected that the Kazekage would help Konoha in their fight against Iwa, and the most shocking thing was that the Kazekage killed a Jinchuriki and the death of a person at the Kage level was big news, especially the death of the Jinchuriki.

With the death of the Jinchuriki, it means that Iwa has only one person on the Kage level now, which is the current Third Tsuchikage Onoki.

But even if Onoki was the only Kage level in Iwa village, no one recklessly attacked, because Onoki is considered one of the most powerful current Kage in the ninja world, especially his Kekkei Tōta, which has a lethal destructive power.

In the village of Iwa

"Damn that Kazekage, how dare he attack us. Prepare the troops. I'll personally go to rip that damned one off!" The third Tsuchikage shouted angrily.

"Please calm down Tsuchikage-sama, you shouldn't rush and leave the village unprotected, if you leave the village there is a possibility that we will be attacked by some nearby villages." My subordinates and advisors to Tsuchikage started trying to calm him down.

"Do you think I'll calm down, I won't calm down until I rip that bastard Third Kazekage."

... ... ... ... ...

In the village of Suna

There was a big celebration being held to mark the defeat of Iwa Village by their Kazekage.

No one knew that the person who defeated and fought the Jinchuriki was never the Kazekage, but all the villagers and ninjas believed it with all their heart as they happily celebrated their first victory in the war.

In the Kazekage office, Chiyo was looking at the Kazekage seriously while saying, "Why didn't you tell us before you went to the battlefield?"

"I did it because I don't want information about my exit to leak out." The Kazekage said to Chiyo, then closed his eyes as he continued, "You can get out of my office now."

Chiyo was annoyed by the Kazekage's short response but couldn't say anything and walked out of his office.
