Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Chapter 157 Qualified Shadow
Nanga Shrine.

The lavender Rinnegan flickered with inexplicable light under the candlelight. Uchiha Shisui stared at the stone tablet in front of him without saying a word, his heart shaken.

This stone tablet requires special pupil power to see its contents. Without pupil power, it cannot be read.

The contents are encrypted according to the order of the three levels of Sharingan, Mangekyō Sharingan and Samsaragan. Only with eyes of a higher level can you see more secrets.

When his father Uchiha Mitsukaze gave him his eyes, thus opening the Mangekyō and Eternal Eyes, Shisui came here and saw the stone tablet once.

This is what he saw at that time.

"A god seeks peace, separates yin and yang, repelling the two forces, and uniting them into one, and then he obtains the myriad things..."

The information recorded in it not only implies the truth of the world, but also contains the method of opening the Samsara Eye.

And now, after opening the Rinnegan, Uchiha Shisui saw the Uchiha Stele again, and completely deciphered the secrets of this treasure that has been passed down since the Warring States Period.

But this time.

Uchiha Shisui was not at all shocked by the above content.

There is no other reason.

He actually already knew the content!
After joining Soul Society, Mizunotsuki had told Shisui what was written on the stone tablet, but Shisui always had doubts in his heart, so he came to take a look at it in person at this moment.

"Devouring the tailed beast, reviving the Ten Tails, recreating the Six Paths, opening the dream of eternity, and creating eternal peace..."

A smile appeared at the corner of Uchiha Shisui's mouth. In that smile, there was three parts of sarcasm and three parts of coldness, just like the smile that a domineering president would reveal from time to time.

Although it was something that only the Rinnegan could see, it had already been predicted by Mizunoe Yue.

The road to the Six Paths, the ridiculous Moon Eye Project.

"I didn't lie to you, did I, Shisui-kun?"

"This world has always been shrouded in a huge scam. Those who claim to be gods fool everyone just for their own eternal rule."

"And when powerful enemies from outside the domain use irresistible power to attack the ninja world, those who claim to be gods only need to reap the harvest and flee, and the only ones who will suffer pain and disaster are these innocent lives."

The sound of the night rang in Shisui's ears. Shisui sighed softly and silently closed his Samsara eyes.

"what should I do."

"From the moment you became the God of Death, you have already been doing it, right? It's just that everything at this moment has made you more determined."

Ye, who was far away in the Iron Kingdom, spoke calmly, but his voice reached the ears of Uchiha Shisui who was thousands of miles away.

"Become stronger. Your current strength is not enough to face a being of that level."

"…Do you need me to take care of the Kyuubi?"

"It's up to you, but the damn toad from Myoboku Mountain came over to take Minato Namikaze back. It will probably take him a few minutes to return to Konoha." Ye paused and said, "I'll be there too."

The Land of Iron is very far away from Konoha, and Minato Namikaze cannot go back with his power.

But with the reverse summoning technique of Sage Fukasaku, all of this is not a problem. He only needs to transfer twice at Myoboku Mountain and Minato Namikaze can easily return to Konoha.

"Are you coming too..."

Uchiha Shisui was a little surprised. It was just a small Nine-Tails. When there were already captains of the Second Division and the Sixth Division, Mizunoe Tsukiyomi actually wanted to come.

Could it be that something big is going to happen tonight?

"I just want to get in touch with a very interesting existence."

Ye Dan smiled and said, "Just take a look around Konoha during this time. After all, you haven't been back for a long time, right?"

"I understand."

The call is terminated.

Uchiha Shisui put on the pure white mask again and left Nanga Shrine.

Looking at the night sky that was dyed red by the Nine-Tails' terrifying chakra, Shisui was silent for a moment, and finally chose to walk in the opposite direction.

Mizunoe Tsukiyomi is right, dealing with the Nine-Tails is the responsibility of the Konoha Hokage and the Konoha Ninja.

And he...

Let’s take this opportunity to take a good look at this former hometown.

Picking a white chrysanthemum from the roadside, Shisui walked towards the memorial site...

……

"Nine-Tails, huh? Very good, passionate youth need such an opponent. Let me, Might Guy, be your opponent!"

at the same time.

On a street in Konoha, a young man with thick eyebrows who was always burning with youth clenched his fists and was about to rush forward to fight with the Nine-Tails with full energy.

But an older ninja in front of him stretched out his hand to stop him.

"No, Kai, Asuma, you must gather at the designated location immediately."

"what?"

This was undoubtedly a bucket of cold water poured on Kai's head. He asked loudly: "Why don't you let us deal with the Nine-Tailed Fox? Youth should be burning at this time."

"This is the order from the Sandaime-sama. Go to the gathering place immediately. Do you want to disobey the order?"

"asshole."

"Let's go, Kai!" Asuma said softly, and walked forward to pull him away.

As the son of the Hokage, he certainly understood what his teacher meant.

He and Asuma are now only above the level of Chunin. This level of power is no different from ants to the Nine-Tails.

Instead of causing trouble, it is better to go and protect those people as they go to the shelter.

The low- and middle-level ninjas retreated quickly, while in the distance, a fierce battle had already begun.

After the Third Hokage issued the order, the elite ninjas of the entire Konoha were quickly mobilized.

Countless figures jumped up and fell, and small flames, small wind escape techniques, and small water escape techniques emerged.

But these ninjas are like ants to the Nine-Tails. Even if various ninjutsu are superimposed, they can't cause any effect at all.

On the other hand, the Nine-Tailed Fox only needs to strike with one claw to kill at least several ninjas, and with one roar, it can easily blow down countless buildings.

Among those present, the only one who could truly threaten the Nine-Tails was Sarutobi Hiruzen, so the Nine-Tails' attention was mostly focused on him. However, even if it was injured by Sarutobi Hiruzen, under the almost infinite chakra, such minor skin injuries would heal in the blink of an eye.

"This guy……"

After seeing that the injuries caused by his Great Chain Bullet Technique were healed in the blink of an eye, Sarutobi Hiruzen's hands even began to tremble.

There were already a large number of casualties around him.

You should know that after the Third Ninja World War, the families with the largest number of ninjas in the village were the Sarutobi clan, the Shimura clan, and the Mitomon clan, and among them, the Sarutobi clan was the largest.

That is to say, among the ninjas who died at the hands of the Nine-Tails, at least two or three out of ten were ninjas from the Sarutobi clan.

This huge loss made Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes turn red.

These are the foundation and accumulation of his many years in power. These are the basic foundation for turning Konoha into Sarutobi in the future!
"This can't go on like this..."

"The Nine-Tails' power is too strong. This ordinary ninja is basically nothing to this guy..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen had actually never seen the power of the Nine-Tails.

When the powerful men of previous generations were still around, Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara dominated the Warring States Period, and the tailed beasts were not worth mentioning.

By the time of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, Konoha had a strong foundation and naturally did not need the power of the tailed beast. The tailed beast was also in Uzumaki Mito's body and the seal was stable, and there had never been any accidents. Even though the seal was weakened during Uzumaki Mito's childbirth, the First and Second Hokage were still alive at the time, and there was no possibility for the Nine-Tails to escape the seal.

until today.

This was the first time Sarutobi Hiruzen faced the strongest tailed beast. The terrifying pressure made him feel helpless!

"Further inside is the core area of ​​Konoha. Once the Nine-Tails enters the core area of ​​Konoha, the losses it will bring..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen tightly grasped the Ruyi Stick in his hand and had already made up his mind.

No matter what, we can't let this tailed beast continue to wreak havoc, even if we use that move...

"Roar!!"

As if sensing what Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking, the Nine-Tailed Fox, with a fierce look in its eyes, suddenly raised its huge claws and slapped Sarutobi Hiruzen's head, while roaring towards the sky, and terrifying chakra began to condense.

However, in an instant, the ink-black Tailed Beast Ball had already condensed into shape, emitting a depressing and terrifying aura, which made people despair.

The many ninjas below felt as if their hearts were suffocating, and Sarutobi Hiruzen was even more terrified.

If this kind of Tailed Beast Ball were to hit Konoha...

Along with the roar of the Nine-Tailed Fox, the terrifying Tailed Beast Ball was suddenly blasted out, shaking the heaven and earth.

Everything was crushed wherever it passed, and the earth cracked, as if it was the foreshadowing of the end of the world.

"Damn bastard!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen roared in his heart, but he could not stop the suffocating Tailed Beast Ball. He could only watch the doomsday that destroyed them approach bit by bit together with the other ninjas who were also in despair...

"boom!!!"

The incomparable tailed beast exploded, and the surging chakra crushed everything. Even if countless Konoha ninjas tried their best to use various ninjutsu, it was all meaningless in front of the strongest tailed beast.

No, it can be stopped.

If it was the Konoha in the original work, it would be able to stop the Nine-Tails.

But unfortunately, Konoha has already lost all its elite troops. Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Fugaku are still in the Land of Iron. Konoha is left with only a group of ninjas from families such as Sarutobi and Shimura. How can it withstand this attack?
Destruction is coming!

"Go to hell, all of you go to hell!"

"Damn Konoha! Damn Minato Namikaze! Everything goes to hell!"

Above the Nine-Tails, Uchiha Obito, who was hiding in the dark, was like a madman: "What Nagato said makes sense. Only by feeling the pain can you better understand it. Only by personally feeling the feeling of being in the abyss can you appreciate the despair in my heart!"

"Namikaze Minato...feel the despair!"

The turbulent Tailed Beast Ball suddenly exploded, and with it as the core, an indescribable energy explosion raged out, covering most of the Konoha Village.

The surrounding buildings, lush forests, ninjas and civilians...

Everything affected by the Tailed Beast Ball was forcibly destroyed by this energy at this moment.

This is the destructive power of the Nine-Tails. This is the power of the strongest tailed beast! "Come again! Come again! Come again!"

Although his former home was collapsing before his eyes, Uchiha Obito did not feel the slightest bit uncomfortable. On the contrary, he felt only joy at the moment.

Another tailed beast ball condensed and fell, and a suffocating explosion swept through again.

again and again.

The ninjas of Konoha suddenly understood why the tailed beasts were hailed as the representatives of infinite chakra. Those ninjas who had not been affected yet just looked on with dull expressions. They had never thought that they would encounter such a situation, not even once.

The Nine-Tailed Fox wreaks havoc and the Tailed Beast Ball explodes.

The most prosperous, powerful, and central village in the entire ninja world in the past is now devastated, full of potholes and ruins...

In the ruins filled with smoke, the remaining walls were slightly loose.

Sarutobi Hiruzen crawled out of the ruins tremblingly. In front of him was a broken but extremely thick earth wall. Beside him were a dozen elite members of the Sarutobi clan. These were the people he could save as quickly as possible.

The surviving ninjas stood up one by one with difficulty, their expressions somewhat dazed.

Most people looked at the scene in disbelief. It was hard to imagine that this smoke-filled ruin was the once prosperous Konoha. Everything that just happened happened too quickly, leaving them no time to adapt.

"Kyuubi..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at everything in front of him and clenched his fists.

Watching the Nine-Tails start to move towards the shelter, Sarutobi Hiruzen's wavering heart finally made up his mind at this moment.

"Oh!"

But right now.

The necromancy smoke rose and a giant toad appeared.

On top of the toad is Minato Namikaze wearing the divine robe of the Fourth Hokage, and at his feet is Gama Fukasaku Sage.

"Where...is this?"

Looking at the smoke and dust in front of him, he could vaguely see a desolate land without any buildings. A hint of doubt appeared on Minato Namikaze's face, but this doubt only lasted for a moment before turning into raging rage.

He saw the ruins in the distance, and also saw the rampaging Nine-Tailed Fox.

This is Konoha, the Konoha he vowed to protect with his life.

But at this moment, Konoha has been invaded, damaged, and almost destroyed!
"It has actually reached this point..."

Gamafukasaku Sage's face was solemn: "I've been very fast, Minato-kun, but it seems I'm still a step too late."

"No, Boss, you've done enough." Namikaze Minato tightened the robe of the Fourth Hokage on his body and said, "Bunta, please stop the Nine-Tails for a while. I'll go check something."

"Ah I?"

Gamabunta, who was still posing, was stunned, but the Namikaze Minato on his body had disappeared from the spot.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mrs. Wen. I'll go back and prepare dinner with the kid's mother. Remember to come back for dinner."

"Know it."

Gamabunta held the sword in his hand, muttering something nonsense, and rushed towards the direction where the Nine-Tails was.

The disappeared Minato Namikaze instantly appeared on the top of a tree.

Looking at Uzumaki Kushina who was leaning against the tree trunk with a weak look on her face while hugging Naruto, a trace of self-blame appeared on Namikaze Minato's face, but more of it was relief and joy.

Konoha was destroyed like this, and he was even prepared for the death of Kushina and Naruto. Fortunately, everything was still in time...

"Thank you."

Minato Namikaze's gaze fell on Hozuki Gengetsu and he thanked her in a deep voice. Although he didn't know what exactly happened, he guessed that if it weren't for Hozuki Gengetsu, he probably wouldn't be able to see Kushina and Naruto at this moment.

"You're welcome. After all, I'm paid too." Gui Deng Huan Yue waved casually.

"Just tell me what reward you want."

"Watergate……"

"boom!!!"

Before Kushina finished her words, a deafening sound of the Tailed Beast Ball exploding was heard in the distance.

Minato Namikaze's face darkened, and without saying anything more, he strode up to Kushina. At this moment, a hint of yellow-orange color appeared in the corners of his eyes, chakra spread, and his palm fell on Kushina's lower abdomen.

Kushina's body trembled slightly, but her breathing became much calmer.

Feeling Kushina's breath gradually calming down, Minato Namikaze looked at Naruto gently again. After lightly touching Naruto's cheek, he stood up suddenly and faced the Nine-Tails in the distance.

"Watergate……"

"I'm sorry, but I'll be back soon."

Namikaze Minato murmured softly, and the words "Fourth Hokage" behind him shone exceptionally brightly under the blood-red moon.

He is the husband and father of Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Naruto, but he is also the Hokage of Konoha!

Now that Konoha has been destroyed by the Nine-Tails, how can he just sit back and watch when he has already arrived late?
After saying this, Minato Namikaze disappeared.

Gui Deng Huan Yue behind him sighed softly, with a complicated expression.

In the past, he died together with the Second Tsuchikage of Iwagakure for the sake of the Hidden Mist Village, and now, Minato Namikaze has abandoned his small family for the sake of Konoha.

"You are indeed a qualified Kage." Hozuki looked at Uzumaki Kushina who was looking down beside him, her eyes full of Naruto: "But you are not a qualified husband and father."

……

"It's coming again!"

"Damn Nine-Tailed Fox, we must stop him this time."

"We can't let him release the Tailed Beast Balls again. The shelter is behind us. Everyone, do your best to stop this beast!"

The terrifying chakra once again condensed in the Nine-Tails' mouth, and countless Konoha ninjas took action one after another, trying to interrupt the Nine-Tails.

Sarutobi Hiruzen made up his mind and suddenly stuck the Ruyi Stick in his hand into the ground, extending it infinitely, and actively approached the Nine-Tails. At the same time, he used the Shadow Clone Technique in mid-air to create four identities.

The next moment, the four clones and his own body formed seals at the same time.

Lightning!

Water dragon!

Geotechnical!

Fireworks!

Gangfeng!

"Five Escapes: The Technique of Large Continuous Bullets!"

The simultaneous release of five different attribute ninjutsu, namely fire, thunder, water, earth and wind, was bound to stop the condensation of the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball.

The Five Elements Great Chain Bomb came crashing down on the Nine-Tails with irresistible force. The Nine-Tails was forced to stop condensing the Tailed Beast Ball after being hit hard, but in the eyes of Obito, who was controlling the Nine-Tails, the three magatama were turning.

The next moment, the Nine-Tailed Fox actually swallowed the Tailed Beast Ball that had failed to condense into its stomach.

The Nine-Tails' belly suddenly swelled, and its mouth full of fangs suddenly opened wide, and the Tailed Beast Cannon exploded with undiminished power!
"what?!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked, and countless ninjas looked desperate and their hands and feet were cold.

If this blow lands, the refuge that gathers countless Konoha ninjas will be completely destroyed, and Konoha... will also disappear completely and be completely defeated!

Countless Konoha ninjas felt despair.

But at this critical moment, a golden figure suddenly appeared on the rock of the shelter. He quickly formed seals with his hands and held a specially made kunai horizontally in front of him.

Densely packed Flying Thunder God techniques emerged.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

The Tailed Beast Cannon that is powerful enough to destroy everything is right before their eyes. Amidst the desperate gaze of everyone, a miracle occurs.

The space in front of him seemed to be opened up at this moment, and the terrifying Tailed Beast Cannon fell into an inexplicably deep space and was absorbed bit by bit without any aftereffects.

Boom!

In the distance, a dazzling light shone in the darkness, and the explosion was deafening!
"Is that... Minato's time and space barrier?" Akimichi Tofu's eyes lit up.

"Is Minato back?"

The Third Hokage Sarutobi felt relieved and a smile finally appeared on his face. The morale of the ninjas around him also boosted, as if victory had already arrived.

Minato Namikaze's influence on the Konoha ninja is huge, especially at this point in time.

It was not long after the Third World War ended, and even when Minato Namikaze came to power, it was only a short year.

The war hero still has his influence, the rising star Hokage is rising, and with the double BUFF superposition, Minato Namikaze has become the backbone of countless Konoha ninjas.

"blocked……"

Seeing the explosion in the distance, Minato Namikaze breathed a sigh of relief, clenched his Flying Thunder God Kunai, and prepared to join the battle.

But at this moment, a hand appeared silently behind him and grabbed his neck.

Minato Namikaze, whose reaction attribute was maxed out, noticed something was wrong at the first moment and swept out with the kunai in his hand, but the next scene made his pupils shrink slightly.

The kunai in his hand actually penetrated the opponent's body directly, as if the person in front of him was an illusion, but at the moment the kunai penetrated, the person turned into a solid body again and grabbed his right arm!

"It's you!"

"You're finally here, Namikaze Minato."

The low voice contained unspeakable hatred and rage, the kaleidoscope under the Uzumaki mask rotated, and an inverted space vortex appeared. Obito wanted to suck the other party into his unique Kamui space as soon as possible.

But Namikaze Minato's reaction was even more profound. At the moment when the divine power was condensed, his figure disappeared from the spot and appeared on the previous kunai.

"Flying Thunder God Technique?"

Obito turned around, and the blood-colored kaleidoscope matched the blood moon in the sky, becoming more gloomy and sinister: "I originally wanted you to see a completely destroyed Konoha, but now that I think about it, it seems more interesting to let you witness the process of Konoha being destroyed bit by bit."

"You bastard..." Namikaze Minato's face was cold and murderous.

"It's unforgivable. They destroyed Konoha like this. It's absolutely unforgivable!"
