Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Chapter 136: The Immortal Witch, the Possibility of a Quincy

Just like the Wood Release of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, the Dust Release of the Second and Third Tsuchikage, and the Ice Release of the current Fourth Mizukage, Mizunotsuki.

There are always some jutsu in the ninja world that, as soon as you see them, you will think of their users.

The Steaming Dangerous Explosion is the infinite blasting ninjutsu of the second generation Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu!
"who are you!"

Hoshigaki Kisame's eyes were fixed on Gengetsu Hozuki who was wearing a white haori in front of him.

In fact, he had heard about the existence of the god of death with white feathers and the news of Soul Society, but Kisame, who was either carrying out missions or training in the Kirigakure Duel Tower all day, always believed that the so-called god of death and Soul Society were bait bombs released by hostile forces as a means for the major ninja villages in the ninja world to put pressure on Kirigakure.

But after seeing it today... I'm afraid things are not that simple.

The secret technique was stolen?

Human experiments?

still is……

"Sure enough, he will be discovered."

Hozumi Gengetsu helplessly threw the unconscious Kakuzu and Sasori in his hands to Kisame: "Forget it, since the Fourth Hokage said that it doesn't matter if we are exposed, then let's expose it. Besides, an old guy like me is relieved that Kirigakure can have a younger generation like you."

"No, it can't be..."

Kisame was staggered by Kakuzu and Sasori, but his attention was not on these two people, but completely on Hozuki Gengetsu.

A bold idea came into his mind.

But how could such a thing be possible?

Under the incredulous gaze of Hoshigaki Kisame, Hozuki Gengetsu took off his white mask, and the image of a man with no eyebrows and a mustache, which was so familiar to all the people of the Hidden Mist, appeared in Hoshigaki Kisame's eyes.

"Second, second-generation adults..."

how can that be!

Forbidden magic?

No, that's not right.

Looking at the figure that was so familiar to all the Kirigakure ninjas, Hoshigaki Kisame even staggered a few steps, looking at the man with some disbelief who had no cracks and looked like a living person.

The lord of the Hidden Mist Village's revival, the strongest person in the Kizuna clan, the Second-generation Mizukage Kizuna Gengetsu, just stood in front of Hoshigaki Kisame with his arms folded across his chest and a calm face.

"The Fourth Hokage is right. If you want Kirigakure to become more prosperous, the next thing to do is very necessary."

"Although this kind of thing should be considered a huge shock to young people like you, I believe that you who came out of the blood mist have such a strong heart to endure everything."

"Little brat from the Hoshigaki family, nice to meet you." Hozuki Gengetsu leaned on the Zanpakutō on his waist and showed a cynical smile: "My name is Hozuki Gengetsu, the second generation Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, and the current captain of the 6th Division of the Soul Reign Gotei 13."

The second generation... the captain of the 6th division of Seireitei...

Looking at the eyebrow-less, mustache-wearing Hozuki Gengetsu in front of him, Hoshigaki Kisame felt his brain begin to tremble.

The deceased ancestor actually appeared before him, and became a captain-level existence of an unknown force!
Is this a betrayal of Kirigakure? !
This is impossible.

The contribution of the Second Mizukage to Kirigakure is well known to everyone. It can even be said that he is the one who made the greatest contribution to Kirigakure among all the Mizukage in history. Even the First Mizukage Byakuren, who founded the Kirigakure Village, did not put in as much effort as the Second Mizukage.

For the development of Kirigakure, the Second Mizukage built a ninja school, established the Anbu, and defended against foreign enemies, allowing Kirigakure to enter a period of rapid development during the Second Mizukage era.

It was also because of the toughness and dedication of the Second Mizukage in the First Ninja World War that the overall strength of Kirigakure was always at the forefront of the Ninja World in the early stages.

It can be said that the family fortune of Kirigakure was basically accumulated during the Second Generation's period. Even though the Third Generation Mizukage had squandered and wasted it for decades, it still left a good foundation for the Fourth Generation.

"A month ago, the Yondaime gathered us, the elite jonin, to study the forbidden book, which includes the Impure World Reincarnation Technique that originated from the Second Hokage, Second Mizukage-sama."

Hoshigaki Kisame stared at Hozuki Huanyue with his eyes and growled, "And the Impure World Reincarnation can control the target's brain and thoughts, Nidaime-sama!"

"Of course I know. I have read all the ninjutsu in the forbidden book. I even know Impure World Reincarnation."

"So, are you still yourself at this moment?"

"So that's what you're worried about..."

Hozuki Huanyue laughed dumbly: "This world is never as simple as you see it, and the Hidden Mist Village is not an ordinary ninja village."

"During this period, you should have heard those rumors, the God of Death, the Soul Society, which is the force I just mentioned."

"The founder of that force is actually the Yondaime."

"Wha, what?!"

Hoshigaki Kisame was a little dumbfounded, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed so reasonable.

Didn't the rumors about the God of Death and Soul Society only gradually begin to appear in the ninja world after the Yondaime came to power? And who else but the Yondaime could have created such a force in the Hidden Mist?

However, Kisame knew that Mizunoe Tsukiyomi was conducting human experiments, because Kirigakure had already been doing this during the era of the Third Mizukage.

But Kisame didn't expect that by the time of the Fourth Mizukage, the village's research had shifted from 'bloodline' to 'soul'!
This is too...

"This is not for power, but for redemption, little brat of the Hoshigaki family."

Hozuki Gengetsu looked at the dazed expression of Hoshigaki Kisame and knew what kind of brainstorm was going on in this kid's mind at the moment.

A sarcastic smile appeared on his face.

"Feel the power in me. Use your perception and Samehada to feel it."

"Found it."

Looking at Hoshigaki Kisame's incredible expression, Hozumi Gengetsu raised his mustache proudly: "There is not a trace of chakra on my body. The thing that we used to use as a weapon and source of power, now there is not a trace of it on me."

"Do you know why."

"Each of us is a slave to Chakra, living in a world controlled by humans."

"Chakra controls everything in this world, gradually infecting everything, including life, will, and even the soul, until it controls it. The dead can be awakened at will because of chakra, and the living can be twisted into another appearance because of chakra."

"Man is no longer man, and the world is no longer the world."

“This is the truth of it all.”

"The reason why the Fourth Hokage created the God of Death was to fight against the existence that secretly wanted to control everything and play with everything. What the Fourth Hokage wanted to do, what the God of Death and Seireite wanted to do, was to break the sad and meaningless endless cycle that was going on in this sad world, and return everyone to their own hands!"

"However, this kind of thing is too realistic, so realistic that it is suffocating, so it cannot be allowed to appear in the sun casually. It can only be revealed after being tempered by blood and fire and after all preparations have been made."

"…Second-generation sama."

Hoshigaki Kisame opened his mouth, and he didn't even know what expression to show on his shark face.

Feeling overwhelmed?
Unbelievable?

He was once in the blood mist and as a Kirigakure ninja, he had to constantly kill his fellow Kirigakure ninjas. At that time, he would always ask himself.

What is his existence, what is his position, and what is his purpose.

Where does he need to go to truly have a peaceful harbor? What does he need to do to find his true self?

he does not know.

He originally thought that the appearance of the Fourth Hokage and the changes in the Blood Mist Village would allow him to find the answers to all this, but the words spoken by the Second Hokage at this moment completely revealed everything that Kisame knew!

Hoshigaki Kisame was trembling a little. Hozuki Gengetsu's words filled his mind with a continuous roar, like some big explosions, exploding one after another in his mind, bombing out his original cognition.

In his original understanding, although the world was full of countless lies and darkness, the emergence of an outstanding leader still gave him a glimmer of hope and a safe haven.

He is a person who is constantly looking for his own path and that bright light in his life.

Unexpectedly...

"It turns out that it's not just my life that's fake... but also this world..."

"No one's life is fake. All we want is for future generations to have a more real and better future." Gui Deng Huan Yue shook her head and said, "I didn't want to tell you all this. After all, you are still young and have a lot of roads to go. There is still a wonderful life and happy love to experience."

"The best option would be to wait until a hundred years later, when the Yondaime calls your soul back and tells you these things."

"But unfortunately, you are a little too curious. If I don't tell you all this today... you might do something incredible, little brat from the Hoshigaki family."

"…It seems that curiosity really can kill people."

Kisame showed a bitter smile. If things really developed as Hozuki Gengetsu said, it would indeed be the best process.

And now.

"So, now that I know the existence of the God of Death, do I need to become one of you?"

"of course not."

Hozuki Huanyue shook her head and said, "We will never force or demand anything. Everything I said today is just to clear your doubts. Because you are a citizen of Kirigakure, you have the right to know all this, to know what happened in this village, and what will happen in the future."

"As for whether or not to become a Shinigami... the Yondaime once told me that you should follow your heart."

"My heart."

Hoshigaki Kisame murmured, and at this moment, they noticed that many of the stone terracotta warriors around them began to break at this moment, dust returning to dust, earth returning to earth, and dissipated with the wind.

Seeing this scene, Hozuki Huanyue whistled softly: "It seems that the Fourth Generation has dealt with the monsters."

"Is the Fourth-sama here too?"

"Of course. Otherwise, who else do you think can deal with monsters and goblins in the current ninja world?"

Gui Deng Huan Yue said calmly: "Okay, let's stop here with the enlightenment talk with the younger generation. You should just treat everything that happened today as a story. There is no need to think too much about it."

"Take these two rebel ninjas back to the village. This is a great achievement. Besides, you still owe that girl a meal, right?"

"…Second-generation sama."

Hoshigaki Kisame wanted to say something, but where was Hozuki Huanyue in front of him? He left silently, just as he came quietly, waving the captain's haori, without taking away a cloud.

But it brought a shock to the soul of a lost teenager...

……

The news of the monster rebellion that broke out in the Demon Country spread throughout the ninja world like the wind, and all the major ninja villages were shaken.

This disaster occurred not long after the Third Ninja World War ended.

But when they were preparing to send troops to support, even more shocking news came.

The witch of the Demon Country sealed the monster at the cost of her own life!

"In other words, if you fail to seal it, you will put Shion here with me?"

Ye looked at Ashio and Resource who were escorted away by the Kirigakure ninja, and looked at Miroku in front of him with a strange expression on his face, whose face was slightly flushed.

No wonder Ye did not sense the existence of Shion, the future priestess, in the territory of the Demon Country. It turned out that Miroku had made arrangements early on and asked the guard named Ashio to take Shion directly to hide in Kirigakure.

It makes sense. Once Miroku fails, the monster that took back his soul and devoured Miroku will inevitably start a war and spread the flames of war throughout the ninja world for their own ambitions. The Hidden Mist Village far away overseas will obviously become the safest place.

As a result, as soon as the two of them set foot in the Water Kingdom, they learned that Miroku had paid the price of his life and successfully sealed the monster.

A country cannot be without a king for a day, and there is no threat from monsters anymore, so Asoho immediately asks for help from Kirigakure, hoping that they can protect them and return to the Land of Demons.

In this regard, Ye originally wanted to keep Ziyuan.

Don't get me wrong, Ye is not doing this for some evil rice bowl play, he just wants to study the differences between the two generations of priestesses.

But the conditions offered by Miroku were too tempting, so Ye agreed to let Shion go back.

"Okay, as the price of the deal, you'll be mine from now on."

"I, I know."

Maitreya's ears were a little red, and there was still some hesitation in his expression.

She never imagined that the guy in the white mask and haori was actually the famous Mizunotsuki Yo. Her voice and tone were completely different from the person in front of her.

But that's the truth.

Because Maitreya smelled the same scent on him.

soul!

She looked at Mizunoe Yue in front of her, then through the glass window of the Mizukage Building, at the backs of Shion and Ashho, and her hesitant eyes became determined.

With a light wave of her jade hand, the gauze skirt fell to the ground.

The witch closed her eyes, and Yu Ye's hand still fell on her lower abdomen.

"Relax, it won't take long."

"Four Symbols Interpretation Seal!"

The reversal spell fell on Maitreya's lower abdomen. Maitreya subconsciously arched his body, and his whole body trembled suddenly.

The next moment, her body underwent obvious changes.

Her curvy body emitted a faint glow at this moment, and a silver-gray mist like mist diffused from her body, completely enveloping her entire body.

It looks like a Jinchūriki transformed into a tailed beast, but this power is more delicate and more stable.

Ye controlled the degree of unlocking of the seal little by little.

And the changes in the witch are constantly changing with the emergence of that power.

Silver-gray energy continued to emerge and became increasingly dense, until it completely enveloped Maitreya's entire body. The energy was so dense that people could no longer see Maitreya's figure clearly.

But as the seals continued to be released, the energies seemed to begin to converge and begin to merge into Maitreya's body. When all the seals were completely released, a different figure appeared in front of Ye.

At this moment, Maitreya's white hair was floating, and his whole body was covered in a layer of silver-gray light.

The thick energy mist transformed into an elegant silver-grey witch costume with snake and python patterns embroidered on the garment. From time to time, there were tangible energy flames that transformed into snake and python shapes, hissing and appearing and disappearing.

"interesting."

Ye looked up and down at Maitreya at this moment, marveling at him.

He could clearly feel the specialness of Maitreya at this moment. Maitreya at this moment could be said to have perfectly integrated the four energies of 'chakra, spiritual energy, natural energy, and soul energy'. Because this energy was so powerful, it even condensed into an energy coat similar to the Crown Prince's Nine-Tailed Fox mode!

"Your energy balance is truly outstanding. You are the first person I have ever met who can balance the four forces to this degree!"

Night exclaimed in admiration.

If the chakra among these four powers were replaced with the power of the god of death, then Miroku at this moment would be the real god of death!

And now...

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe her as 'immortal'.

It is not the kind of six paths existence like the Six Paths Sage, but the kind of sage in the three holy places.

It's not because she can perfectly master natural energy, perfectly use chakra and spiritual energy, and even has special abilities because of it (summoning immortal stone soldiers).

But because of her nature!

At this moment, Maitreya can be said to have broken away from the concept of "human". Under the influence of that energy, he has turned into a special "energy creature", but not as low-level as a monster.

"..."

Feeling Ye's gaze, Miroku slowly opened his eyes.

In her immortal state, she looked so holy and undefiled, even her eyes were covered with a layer of silver-grey light, making her look like a fairy who was untainted by worldly dust and transcended the mundane world.

But the emotion in those eyes was far from as pure as the original Maitreya.

If the original Maitreya is spotless white, the original Wuling is black without any light source.

Then Maitreya, who is in the immortal state at this moment, is a delicate gray!
Obviously, after integrating the power of the monsters, Maitreya's mind has also changed to a great extent. The extremely evil, wicked, corrupt, twisted, violent, and strong negative emotions like a box of bliss have returned to Maitreya's body, turning his original mother's heart into a colorful one.

"Water without moonlight..."

Maitreya raised his white neck, like a proud swan, and slowly floated up, looking down at the night. His pair of starry eyes were like a god in the sky looking at a mortal son.

"You shouldn't have allowed this power to reappear in the world!"

"No, I'm glad I brought this power back into the world."

There was a strong excitement in Ye's eyes.

He used his own power as a foundation, merged the souls of the deceased, and created the God of Death.

Let the soul integrate the "spiritual power" in the negative emotions of depravity and create the void.

But whether it is the god of death or the void, its foundation is the dead people, the soul.

And this moment.

Maitreya's state of perfectly balancing energy as a 'living being' allowed Ye to see a path that was completely different from that of the god of death and the void.

If this path can be taken, then the people in the entire Hidden Mist Village will be able to evolve, and even ordinary people will be able to transform.

"You are simply a treasure!"

Ye's unconcealed fiery eyes were extremely aggressive, as if he wanted to eat Maitreya alive at this moment.

This kind of look is completely offensive to Maitreya, who has already entered the "immortal" state!
"To spy on the power of an immortal is a crime that must be punished and cannot be forgiven!"

Maitreya shouted softly, and as she spoke, her right hand with its white jade fingers clenched into the air, and a silver-grey snake spear staff appeared out of thin air in her palm.

The staff fell heavily into the void, and countless silver-gray snake-like energies suddenly emerged from under Maitreya's spacious and luxurious witch costume, rushing towards Ye.

"Hey, hey, hey, we can't just fight in this place."

As Ye looked at the incoming attack of the silver snakes, his eyes suddenly caught sight of the thick stack of documents on the Mizukage's desk, and his expression suddenly changed.

This was the result of several days of battle by his shadow clone. If it was destroyed, not to mention the impact on the village, Ye himself would go crazy.

The life of the shadow clone is also a life, not to mention that that kind of feeling will eventually be concentrated on the original body!

"The Sixty-Three Ways of Binding: Binding with Chain Bars!"

Ye suddenly raised his hand, and a thick snake-like chain suddenly emerged from his palm.

The chain attacked, smashing the silver snake's attack and falling on Maitreya, binding him tightly.

Because the power of the immortal state cannot be underestimated, Ye showed no mercy when binding and restricting him. This resulted in the locks falling on Maitreya, making his already proud characteristics even more prominent.

"Well, we need to go to a quiet and safe place."

Ye's hand fell on Miroku's shoulder, and the two figures disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Maitreya only felt a flash before his eyes, and when he appeared again, the sound of wind and waves was clearly heard, and the salty and fresh smell of the ocean rushed into his nostrils.

Looking at the deserted island around him, a smile appeared on Ye's face, and the look he gave Maitreya became more and more passionate.

"Next, we can study it carefully."

"This concerns the future of all Kirigakure and even all of humanity. My dear Miko, please cooperate with me."

"Ya, Yamete!"
