Ch-217 Third Raikage and Second Mizukage.

Gaara, after receiving instructions from Jiryoku on how to perform the sealing technique, immediately sealed Rasa. Rasa was relieved as he wouldn't have to fight anymore against his will, ending the internal conflict he had been struggling with.

While Gaara was busy sealing Rasa, the intense battle between Jiryoku and the combined forces of the Third Raikage and the Second Mizukage continued unabated.

The Third Raikage, known for his incredible speed and power, launched an attack on Jiryoku with his "Hell Stab: Two Finger" technique from one side, aiming to pierce through Jiryoku's defenses. Simultaneously, from the opposite side, the Second Mizukage attacked with his deadly 'Water Release: Water Severing Wave', a technique capable of slicing through almost anything.

Jiryoku, utilizing his Observation Haki, easily perceived the incoming attacks from both sides. With a swift and precise movement, he defended against the Third Raikage's attack using his sword, which was imbued with Armament Haki and crackling with lightning. The collision of their attacks created a massive crater at the center of the battlefield, highlighting the sheer force of their powers.

Anticipating the Mizukage's attack, Jiryoku knew he couldn't take the water jet cutter head-on. To counter it, he created a gravity barrier. The intense water jet released by the Mizukage was deflected by the gravitational force, dissipating harmlessly around Jiryoku.

"The ability to control gravity, much like that of the Second Tsuchikage, is incredibly irritating," complained the Mizukage, thoroughly vexed by Jiryoku's gravitational prowess. "However, Jiryoku's mastery over gravity far surpasses that of the Second Tsuchikage," he added with frustration evident in his voice.

He wasn't disappointed that his attack missed Jiryoku; in fact, he was quite relieved. His annoyance stemmed from the realization that Jiryoku possessed the same gravity-controlling abilities as his arch-nemesis, the Second Tsuchikage.

After the Second Mizukage's attack was deflected, he persisted with his assault due to his automatic attack program. However, he found himself unable to breach the gravity barrier that Jiryoku had erected with apparent ease.

Jiryoku, sensing the resolve of the Third Raikage, made up his mind not to release the gravity barrier until he had dealt with the Raikage himself. With unwavering determination, he stood firm, ready to face whatever onslaught the Raikage could muster.

Following his collision with the Third Raikage, Jiryoku exerted his formidable strength, pushing the Raikage back several steps. Despite the setback, the Raikage refused to yield, pressing on with his relentless assault.

Suddenly, the surrounding pressure shifted, and the Raikage felt as if he were wading through thick swamp rather than standing on solid ground. This was the result of Jiryoku's use of the 'Gravity Field,' which not only suppressed the Raikage's speed but also hampered his movements, making each step feel like a herculean effort.

Jiryoku, seizing the opportune moment, expertly infused his sword with 'Armament Haki' and 'Conqueror's Haki'. As his blade transformed into a vivid purple hue, crimson lightning crackled around it, the manifestation of 'Conqueror's Haki' adding to its formidable aura.

After meticulously preparing himself, Jiryoku unleashed a swift and devastating swing of his sword, resulting in the release of a powerful sword arc. The arc's destructive force obliterated everything in its path until it collided with the Third Raikage, engulfing the area in a dense cloud of dust.

With a nonchalant gesture, Jiryoku effortlessly dispersed the dust with a mighty gust of wind, revealing the severed 'Edo Tensei' body of the Raikage lying on the ground.

Turning his attention to Gaara, Jiryoku communicated silently, prompting Gaara to understand his intention to inspect the incapacitated Third Raikage.

Upon completing his task with the Third Raikage, Jiryoku swiftly redirected his focus towards the Second Mizukage. Despite initially standing at a distance, Jiryoku suddenly appeared right in front of the Mizukage, catching him off guard.

Launching a lightning-infused assault, Jiryoku's blade surged towards the Mizukage, who instinctively activated his 'Hydrification Technique' in an attempt to evade. However, the Mizukage's defense proved futile against the overwhelming power of Jiryoku's lightning-infused strike, resulting in a direct hit that left the Second Mizukage injured and vulnerable.

With Mizukage's injury not being fatal, he was fine, and his body was also easily recovering as it was 'Edo Tensei'. Jiryoku, wanting to finish this as soon as possible, flew up into the sky, clenched his fist, and covered it with 'Armament Haki' and 'Conquerors Haki', along with an immense amount of gravity.

The pressure from the gravity was clearly felt by Mizukage, who had difficulty just standing. Jiryoku punched downward, shouting 'Gravity Universe Punch'.

As soon as Jiryoku punched, a huge dark black fist covered in red lightning started moving downward toward Mizukage, who was currently standing powerless in front of this fist because the closer it came, the more he felt the gravity suppressing him.

Soon, the huge black fist struck the Second Mizukage. The entire area trembled from Jiryoku's attack, and a cloud of dust formed.

After the dust settled, Mizukage was seen, but his body was broken, and although it was slowly recovering, it was very slow.

Gaara, who had already sealed the Third Raikage, didn't wait for Jiryoku to instruct him to seal the Second Mizukage; instead, he immediately began to do so.

Jiryoku, floating in the air, suddenly became alert, and dark black wings appeared from his back. With incredible speed, Jiryoku disappeared from his location. The reason for Jiryoku's sudden departure was revealed when, as soon as he left, a large translucent cube formed in the location where he was standing, emanating an ominous aura.
