Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Chapter 154: Defeat Nagato! The Nine-Tailed Fox!
The size of an object does not necessarily represent its strength, but in the ninja world, large objects can well reflect the issue of combat effectiveness.

You can't drive a Gundam, no wonder you can't defeat the enemy in the ninja battle. If you can't drive a Gundam, you are not qualified to participate in the peak battle of the ninja world.

Whether it is the Susanoo of the Gundam era, the super multiplication technique, the giant summoning beast, and the complete tailed beast transformation.

Whether it is the Tailed Beast Difficulty of Susanoo with the Tailed Beast Suit from the Otsutsuki era, Inukai Kenmei, etc., they are almost all typical representatives of Gundam.

And the Outer Path Demon Statue summoned by Nagato at this moment is also the best among them!
"Roar!!"

The roaring Outer Path demon rushed towards Mizunotsuki Ye. Compared with its huge size, Mizunotsuki Ye at this moment was as small as an ant crawling, as if it could be completely killed with just one palm.

but.

"For the god of death, size has never been of any use."

"Besides... don't you think your size target is a little too big?"

Ye smiled indifferently, holding the Binglun Pill high in his hand, and the whole world suddenly became dark.

The Iron Country is located in the northern part of the continent. It has snow all year round. In addition, it is close to the sea, so there is plenty of water vapor in the country. Even with the limitations of the artificial body, in such a place with abundant water vapor, Ye's combat effectiveness will still be infinitely improved.

The dark sky made a rumbling sound and silver snakes danced. The already extremely cold world cooled down again at this moment.

Countless flying snow and ice flowers began to fall from the sky and landed on the body of the heretic demon statue.

The Outer Path Demon Statue has no life. Although it looks like a wild beast at this moment, compared to the tailed beasts, it is more like a special shell of a Six Paths-level life form with only killing instinct and stimulated by massive energy.

Ice flowers fell, and the outer demon statue didn't hesitate at all, raised its fist and hit Ye.

But layers of ice crystals rose from the ground and blocked his attack.

The continuous condensation of glaciers appeared, like layers of armor, blocking Mizunoe Yueye and the Outer Path Golem. Even though the Outer Path Golem was extremely powerful and each blow could shatter a layer of ice, more ice would condense.

This is the power of map cannon and large-scale AOE.

Why was the first Hokage of the Warring States Period, Hashirama Senju, able to dominate the world? It was because of his Wood Release's extremely domineering map cannon attack. Not only did he have the chakra of Hashirama Senju that was like the vast ocean as a backing, but he could also maintain his own strength by absorbing the chakra of the target.

It is endless and continuous.

The same is true for Ye's ice escape at this moment.

Hyorinmaru possesses the power of celestial phenomena, which means that everything in the sky is under its control.

All the water vapor and ice in the entire Iron Kingdom turned into Mizunotsuki Ye's source of power at this moment. In other words, the opponent that Nagato was controlling the Outer Path Demon Statue at this moment was not Mizunotsuki Ye, but the climate and celestial phenomena of the entire Iron Kingdom!
There were so many glaciers that Ye didn't even have to move. The continuous glaciers blocked the attack of the Outer Golem, and even countless frost covered the body of the Outer Golem.

During this period, countless ice flowers fell from the sky and landed on the body of the heretic demon statue.

Ice flowers fall and flowers bloom.

Endless ice flowers completely wrapped the body of the Outer Statue. The Ice Flower Burial, which was powerful enough to take away all life, also completely froze the Outer Statue.

"Ka, ka ka..."

But the next moment, the endless ice flowers were shattered by the huge force, and the violent figure of the Outer Statue broke through the ice and roared to the sky.

In the golem's mouth, Nagato was also roaring, spitting out bloody saliva, looking like a madman, with his skinny face twitching constantly, twisted and hideous.

"I am the only god in this world! Go to hell, Mizuno Tsukiyomi!!!"

"Interesting, even the Ice Sky Hundred Flowers Burial has no effect."

Looking at the terrifying heretic golem, a hint of surprise appeared in Ye's eyes.

The Outer Path Demon Statue is indeed the body of the Ten-Tails. It is no exaggeration to describe it as indestructible and indestructible.

However, an indestructible demon god does not mean eternal life. The energy consumed in activating a being of this level is not something that ordinary people can afford.

Thousands of years ago, Simon of Egypt offered his own soul as a sacrifice to the food temple and summoned the invincible dark wizard Exodia, but was ultimately defeated by Zork.

The reason for this is that his soul simply cannot sustain Exodia in a battle of that level for long.

"So, how many candles do you have left to burn, Nagato?"

Ye's eyes were calm, he didn't even make a move, but at this moment Nagato was already like a candle in the wind.

Endless glaciers stretched out in a continuous stream. Even if the Ice and Hundred Flowers Burial had no effect, the endless ice layer still made Nagato feel upset.

Obviously, he himself has understood it.

The Outer Statue is indeed indestructible and has unparalleled combat power, but he is not.

Every second he controls the Outer Golem, one point of energy in his body will be depleted.

"No, I won't lose. I absolutely won't lose..."

Nagato's body was trembling a little. He kept talking to himself, then clasped his hands together again and squeezed the energy in his body to the limit.

As Nagato's original power continued to be consumed, the Rinnegan in his eyes once again glowed purple.

The Outer Path Demon Statue under his feet roared, and a ball of terrifying lavender chakra suddenly condensed in its mouth!

The next moment, the chakra roared out from the mouth of the Outer Path Demon Statue and transformed into a ferocious purple dragon. It let out an earth-shaking roar in mid-air, and its body swept up a huge gale like a dragon flying in the sky, and slammed towards Mizunoe Yue fiercely.

Chakra Dragon, can instantly absorb all the energy of the object it touches (the original setting was to only devour chakra, but if only chakra was gone, Hanzo's subordinates shouldn't have died on the spot, so it was set to all energy, including soul and life energy.)
The chakra dragon was extremely fast. It soared into the sky, crossed the glacier, and rushed in front of Mizunoe Yue in a flash.

Mizuno Yue's eyes remained calm and composed as she stared at the attacking chakra dragon and simply swung down the Hyorinmaru in her hand.

The four realms are frozen!

The power of the strongest ice-type Zanpakuto burst out again at this moment.

"The sealing technique of the Outer Path Demon Statue is indeed powerful. Even the tailed beasts cannot resist its power."

“But to me, it means nothing.”

Within three steps of the Chakra Dragon rushing to Ye, its swift speed froze in mid-air, and its dragon head began to slowly be frozen, just like the fire and lightning at the beginning.

"Crack, click..."

Frost filled the air and the Chakra Dragon was completely frozen and shattered.

Ye's figure instantly disappeared from the spot, penetrated countless glaciers, and appeared above the outer demon statue.

Looking at Nagato, who had almost exhausted his essence and had a dazed look on his face, Ye remained calm and the Hyorinmaru landed on Nagato's neck.

"You lose, Kami."

"I... lost..."

Nagato stared blankly at Hyourinmaru who was so close to him, feeling a little distraught.

He had already tried his best, even using the Chakra Dragon (Nine Seals of the Phantom Dragon), but he was still no match for Mizunotsuki Ye.

All his moves, all the power he displayed, were like childish tricks in front of this man, pathetic and clownish, without any threat.

He who claimed to be a god was defeated just like that, completely defeated.

but.

but……

"Why, why do you, who possess such power, want to be a perpetrator and a ruler!" The defeated Nagato, with a thin and sunken face, looked at Mizunoe with a crazy look and roared, "You obviously have the power to rule the ninja world, you obviously have the power like the first Hokage!"

"Didn't you say it yourself at the beginning? If you want peace in the ninja world, you have to use force to pacify the ninja world like the first Hokage did, so that the ninja world can have peace even for a few decades. Didn't you say all this yourself? Why don't you do it!"

Nagato looked agitated. He had lost a lot of weight due to the extreme extraction of his essence. His eyes were full of bloodshot and saliva was flying from his mouth due to the violent fluctuations of his emotions. There was even blood flowing out of his mouth.

"I'm actually already doing it." Mizunoe sighed softly, "Why do you think I convened the Three Kage meeting this time? It's for the peace of the ninja world."

"Your vision is too narrow. The environment of the Rain Country has limited your vision and cognition. Even if the death of your companions has given you the ability to break the shackles of the secular world, you are ultimately just a frog in the well of the Rain Country."

"In your opinion, or rather, in Yahiko's opinion, the best way for you to achieve peace and prove yourself is to be like the man you killed, who was once a hero of the Rain Country and was known as the demigod Hanzo."

"Using one's own strength, I can use force to support the backbone of a small country among the big countries, thereby achieving regional peace, and then use force to gain decades of peace..."

"But I'm different."

Mizuno Yueye said calmly: "I have seen something higher and farther. I once thought of unifying the world by force, but later I understood a little better."

"This world has never been truly unified. Even if we use force to unify all people and forces, those with ulterior motives will inevitably cause this unified world to collapse."

Ye looked at Nagato, and the words he said refreshed the heart of this middle school boy who claimed to be a god.

"To achieve true domination, conquest alone is not enough."

"The ideas in one's heart, cultural habits, will and dreams." "Only when all those things are unified can true rule be truly realized."

If it weren't for the First Emperor's standardization of writing, wheel gauge, currency, and weights and measures, how could the conflicts in the Warring States period have ended so easily?
Only when you and I are indistinguishable from each other, then, we are truly united!

"..."

Nagato looked at Mizunoe Yue in a daze. His head was dull and confused at the moment, his body was weak and empty, and his whole condition was extremely abnormal.

Even though Mizuno Yueye's voice was like thunder exploding in his mind, he didn't have much energy to think carefully about Mizuno Yueye's words.

"I……"

"Um?!"

Mizuno Yueye's eyes suddenly narrowed.

The next moment, a dark figure came into his sight.

The gazes of the two met briefly in mid-air, and Hei Jue's pupils, whose expression was unclear, suddenly trembled slightly, and an invisible wave enveloped Ye.

Ye only felt that the world in front of him suddenly changed, and an extremely magnificent figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

It was a magnificent Susanoo that was hundreds of meters high.

It is wearing Karasu Tengu armor and has wings on its back that can cover the sky.

To him, no matter how high the mountain was, it was just a small mound. When he took a step forward, the ground suddenly cracked into countless cracks and the whole earth began to shake!

This is the complete form of Susanoo!

And in the crystal on the forehead of the complete form of Susanoo, there is a domineering figure wearing scarlet armor. With just one glance, the domineering aura that looks down on the world comes to the face, extremely domineering.

There is no doubt that the man is Uchiha Madara!
……

"leader!"

Mizunotsuki Ye in front of him suddenly paused, and suddenly, a voice sounded in Nagato's ears.

The next moment, two figures, one black and one white, emerged at the same time. Black Zetsu looked at Ye, while White Zetsu's body seemed to soften. The whole person was like a slime monster, and he directly attached himself to Nagato from behind.

"Jue, what are you doing!!"

Nagato reacted belatedly and growled.

"Don't worry Chief, I'm here to help you."

White Zetsu's voice came out from the pure white fluid: "Chief, your physical condition must have reached its limit. I know you can't hold on any longer, and my clone has extremely strong vitality. Let me attach myself to your body, and you will be rejuvenated. I can even let you master the power of Wood Release!"

"Chief, I'm here, don't be afraid!"

"you!"

Nagato's face turned cold.

In fact, this is not the first time that White Zetsu has shown his healing abilities to Nagato. After Obito and Zetsu cooperated with Nagato, Zetsu tried many times to use his own power to help Nagato recover his legs and make up for the loss caused by summoning the Outer Path Statue.

But Nagato rejected all of them.

The reason is simple: lack of trust.

Because of Mizunoe Tsukiyomi's intervention in the Land of Rain, the relationship between Obito and Nagato was not as smooth as in the original work.

You have to know that in the original work, Nagato was resistant to both Obito and Zetsu, let alone in this world.

But right now...

"Chief, you can't fall here. Akatsuki still needs you to lead it. What's more, the angel is still down there. If you fall here, Mizunotsuki Ye and the other two Kages will not be able to bypass the angel!"

"..."

Nagato's face froze, but he finally did not refuse. This made White Zetsu start his fusion even faster.

White Zetsu moved very quickly and merged into Nagato's body quickly. As the fusion progressed, Nagato suddenly felt the deficiency in his body. His body, which had been almost exhausted, was greatly replenished at this moment.

Just like a shriveled sponge being soaked in water again, Nagato's skinny and shriveled body was becoming fuller again at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the injuries on his legs began to heal rapidly.

……

"Interesting, a pupil technique illusion?"

Ye looked at Uchiha Madara who was in front of him with the complete form of Susanoo. His mind moved and the entire pupil technique image shattered like a water mirror.

But where are the Black and White Zetsu and Nagato in front of him?

"He ran pretty fast."

Ye chuckled, but countless images emerged in his mind.

Those were shadows of trees that kept moving backwards, and among them was not only Nagato, whose most body looked like he had "albino", but also Konan with a worried look on his face, and the black and white Zetsu with a pitcher plant on his head.

This is exactly what surveillance bacteria is!
In the battle just now, Ye had already placed surveillance bacteria on Nagato and Konan.

The surveillance bacteria are activated by spiritual power, although they may not be able to escape the insight of the Rinnegan. Therefore, Ye made double preparations and placed them on Konan and Nagato at the same time. However, it seemed that Nagato and the others were so focused on escaping that they did not notice the existence of the surveillance bacteria at all.

With surveillance bacteria around, where can you escape to?

The corners of Ye's mouth slightly raised, and he was ready to take action to give chase, but the pace of Nagato Konan and others suddenly stopped.

"We can't just leave like this."

Black Zetsu's hoarse voice sounded, and his dark face could not clearly see his expression: "Madara has already sneaked into Konoha. We must buy time for him here and attract the attention of the Fourth Hokage."

"That guy finally started to act..."

Xiaonan snorted, his tone very unhappy.

Just to help Madara attract attention, Nagato came all the way from the Rain Country to fight the Three Kages.

But no one expected that Mizunotsuki Ye's strength would be so powerful that it was simply not something that ordinary people could deal with.

"Mizunoe Tsukiyomi is too powerful. Nagato is in a fierce battle with him. His injuries have not healed yet. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to hold him off."

"Our target is not Mizuno Tsukiyomi, but the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze." Black Zetsu said in a deep voice, and then looked at the silent Nagato: "Besides, Nagato has already merged with White Zetsu, and his condition will recover soon. Even the injury from summoning the Outer Path Statue will be healed. Strength is definitely not a problem."

"As long as Madara's actions are successful, we will not only have one less formidable enemy like Konoha, but we will also be able to directly recover the most powerful of the tailed beasts, the Nine-Tails. This will definitely be a good start for our future plans."

"..." Konan didn't say anything else. She knew she couldn't argue with Black Zetsu, but the initiative was still in Nagato's hands.

Feeling the two pairs of gazes, Nagato finally came to his senses and turned his gaze to Black Zetsu.

"The Fourth Hokage has the Flying Thunder God Jutsu. If he wants to leave, I can't stop him."

"You don't need to stop him, the Iron Country will stop him." Black Zetsu said in a deep voice: "The battle between you and Mizunoe Tsukiyomi was quite noisy, plus the destruction of the Iron City by Pain's Six Paths before... You just need to add fuel to the fire. Out of self-blame and guilt, the Fourth Hokage will stay in the Iron City."

The disaster and suffering of the people of the Iron City, coupled with Minato Namikaze's self-blame and guilt.

Such a plan made Nagato and Konan frown.

"We just need to buy time for Madara." Black Zetsu said in a more serious tone: "Nagato, everything is for the overall situation, for the plan, and for true peace!"

"……I see."

……

Chaos continues to evolve in the Iron Kingdom, and in Konoha, a conspiracy that has been brewing for a long time is quietly approaching.

Time unknowingly came to the golden autumn of October, and Konoha ushered in an extremely huge and important event.

The Fourth Hokage's wife, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Kushina, is due to give birth soon.

This matter is not only about Minato Namikaze's family, but also concerns the entire Konoha!
For this reason, almost all of Konoha's high-ranking officials, including the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Aburame Torifuge, were busy.

Uzumaki Kushina is Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but when giving birth, that is when the Jinchuriki is at his weakest. If things go wrong the Nine-Tails could break free from the seal!

In order to prevent such accidents from happening, the entire Konoha became extremely strict.

And in such a solemn environment, a figure covered in a black robe appeared in the cemetery of Konoha at some point.

He just stood in front of a tombstone and watched silently...
