After meticulously completing the Tailed Beast Bomb's brewing process, One-Tail unleashed its might on Jiryoku, who stood firm, ready to face the powerful attack head-on.

"Are you targeting me because of the hostility of your host towards me?" said Jiryoku while taking out his sword and covering it with 'Armament Haki'. Jiryoku continued speaking, "And here I thought that Tailed Beasts are quite rebellious and don't listen to their host and don't give a damn about the feelings of their host."

On the side of Jiraiya, he said, "whoever is proficient in Earth Release, use it to create Mud walls to prevent the damage from spreading from the Hyuga clan. And every ninja who is weak, leave this place immediately; this is not where you should be."

After getting orders from Jiraiya, every shinobi was just about to do that, but before they could do anything, they felt something and looked in the direction of Jiryoku. When they saw Jiryoku, they were shocked.

Jiryoku was holding his sword above his head, and his sword was covered with 'Armament Haki'. A huge amount of gravity was concentrated on his sword, and the extent of this gravity could be assumed from the deep hole just below the sword and a shallow pit around Jiryoku. Jiryoku performed a swift horizontal slash with his sword, unleashing a purple crescent-shaped wave of intensified gravity. As the wave traveled through the air, it gained momentum and power.

Finally, it passed through the Tailed Beast Bomb and cut One-Tail in half like a hot knife cutting through butter.

The Tailed Beast Bomb blasted with a BOOM, causing a huge shockwave, but before the shockwave could travel further from the place of impact, Jiryoku waved his hand and subjected a huge amount of gravity at the place of impact, containing the shockwave and blast, preventing any further damage.

"I can't let such a blast disturb the grave of my parents inside the Hyuga clan," said Jiryoku while sheathing his sword back into its sheath.

And the One-Tail, which was cut in half, was totally destroyed like a statue as Jiryoku used gravity. The moment it was cut, the two halves of One-Tail were repelled in the opposite direction, causing it to crumble like a statue, and slowly it gathered itself and roared, but suddenly it started becoming small because Gaara was awake from the impact.

Gaara was awake, and One-Tail lost his control over Gaara at this time. Gamabunta, with Naruto, came first, followed by Sasuke and Sakura from behind.

Jiryoku didn't care about them or anyone else. He then turned towards Jiraiya and said, "I want to make one thing clear to you. I don't intend to do anything harmful to Konoha, especially something that would cause my friends and those who take pride in being associated with Rajin no Jiryoku to be ashamed when they talk about me. So let me finish my revenge, and I will leave Konoha quietly without causing any damage. What do you think?"

"You mean you are going to attack Danzo next and complete your revenge, correct?" said Jiraiya.

"It seems that you have figured it out. Yes, my next target will be Danzo and those two ANBU ninja who returned my father's body to the Hyuga clan," said Jiryoku, then turning towards Koharu and Homura. "Am I correct, two elders of the Konoha council?"

As soon as Jiryoku's voice fell, both elders backed away in fear, their frightened expressions and sweaty faces clearly revealing their trepidation. They had just witnessed the immense power Jiryoku possessed, as he subdued One-Tail in an instant. They had seen Hiruzen at his peak, and even then, it was uncertain if he could achieve such a feat. Deep down, they knew the identities of those two ANBU ninjas, and their fear was justified.

And their behavior was observed by Jiraiya and other ninjas present here.

"Why are you trembling in fear? Tell me, do you know something or are you involved in this?" asked Jiraiya.

"Nothing... we know nothing about this," said Homura, wiping sweat from his head.

"Then why are you so flustered?" asked Shikaku.

At this time, Jiryoku spoke, "They are old and may have forgotten things. Let me remind them. They wanted the Wind Chakra Mode and offered my father a deal. They promised him a good position that would grant him and his family a better life, free from being treated as slaves within the Hyuga clan. However, my father outright refused their offer. So, they conspired with Danzo to capture him and used a member of the Yamanaka clan to read my father's mind."

"Is this correct?" asked Jiraiya, to which both remained quiet.

Seeing this, Jiraiya asked in frustration, "But you are members of the Konoha council, and not only that, you are very good friends of the teacher. This gives you access to almost all ninjutsu that are not forbidden."

"To make their clan known for the Wind Chakra Mode, just like the Sarutobi clan is known for their fire release—though, it's another matter that they are far worse than the Uchiha clan. Coincidentally, they got a chance just three days after my father rejected their offer—that is, on the night of the Nine Tails attack. After failing to get what they wanted, they went to the Hyuga clan disguised as ANBU members to deliver my father's body, and they revealed their identity to the elders. As a result, the matter was suppressed, why would the elders of Hyuga clan offend elders of Konoha just for a mere branch member and that too who is dead so my father's death was attributed to the Nine Tails attack. Even my mother was killed because of this. She was tortured to force her to reveal information about the Wind Chakra Mode to the Hyuga clan elders' son," said Jiryoku.

"This is all a lie! What evidence do you have?" said Koharu.

"Firstly, from the emotions I perceive from you, I am now 100% certain. Before, I wasn't sure. Secondly, when you are strong enough, your decisions cannot be easily swayed," said Jiryoku, releasing his 'Conqueror's Haki'.
