Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Chapter 174 Shadow Island and the Invisible Empire!

The Fourth Mizukage Mizunoe Tsukiyomi is so great and selfless.

In order to curb the evil conspiracy plans of ambitious people, he even gave up the nuclear deterrent of the tailed beasts.

This kind of vision and this kind of magnanimity, perhaps this is the reason why Mizunotsukiyo was rated by the villagers as the greatest shadow in the history of the Hidden Mist Village!

The people present had the same thought in their minds, and there was a bit more respect and admiration in their eyes when they looked at Ye.

This is the person they are following!
"By the way, Kisame, you are here to carry out a B-level bandit suppression mission, right?" Ye glanced around and nodded with satisfaction: "The mission was completed quite well. I will file the mission later and let the Anbu distribute the mission bonus to you."

"Excuse me, Mizukage-sama."

"This is my job, isn't it?"

Ye smiled and waved his hand, then his figure suddenly turned into a puff of white smoke and disappeared on the spot.

The people present were not surprised at all. They knew very well how busy the Mizukage, Mizunotsuki Ye, was on a daily basis. Even with the help of two secretaries, Mei Terumi and Mizunotsuki Akira, there were still a lot of things that needed Ye to handle.

People can often see Mizunotsuki busy at work at both the head and the end of the village.

According to incomplete statistics, there are currently at least a dozen clones of Night working in the entire Hidden Mist Village, striving to transform this bloody mist village that was devastated by the Third Mizukage and experienced three brutal wars, into the most powerful ninja village in the ninja world!
"Kisame."

Man Yue suddenly said, "You should have talked to Lord Ye, do you think I can join the Soul Society?"

"Seireitei?"

Kisame looked at the full moon with some surprise, and Yuri also looked stunned.

They were all Ye's confidants, so they naturally knew about things like Seireitei for a long time.

They all wanted to join in once, but were rejected by Ye because in Ye's opinion, they were not ready at all at that time.

Of course, they don’t have it now either.

"Don't say such words just because of the sudden emotion, Man Yue."

"You are the most outstanding genius in the history of the Gui Lantern Clan. In the eyes of the old guys in the Gui Lantern Clan, you will definitely take over the banner of the Gui Lantern Clan in the future."

Hoshigaki Kisame grinned and looked at the ninja sword prodigy in front of him: "What's more, Suigetsu was born not long ago."

"Brothers, relatives, friends, clan and everything, are you really ready?"

"I……"

Man Yue’s expression froze.

He really couldn't let go of those things, but wasn't it precisely because he couldn't let go of those things that he had to use his life and his entire life to protect them? !
"I want to join the Soul Society. I want to be someone who can truly protect the village and everything!"

"Aren't you protecting your village and your friends and relatives right now?"

Kisame asked back: "If you don't join the Soul Society and become the so-called god of death, you can't do all this."

"You are the genius of Kirigakure, Manyue. Whether it is talent, talent, or character, you are one of the most outstanding people in Kirigakure. There is no doubt about that. Even Nagadai-sister is full of praise for you."

"In my opinion, you just need to be yourself and complete every task assigned to you by Yongdaimei. That's enough."

Kisame said the words that Ye had said to him.

In fact, Kisame was also very curious about the Soul Society and wanted to join it very much. Even every high-ranking member of the Kirigakure was the same.

But Mizuno Yueye rejected everyone's application.

He always says wait, wait, the time is not right yet.

So when will the time really come?
Kisame didn't know, but he knew very well that it was definitely not a casual refusal by Ye. It wouldn't be long before they would be exposed to that unknown area!

Before that, all they have to do is to constantly improve themselves.

Get stronger! Get stronger!

"But... with my qualifications, can I really become strong enough to be summoned by Lord Ye?"

Listening to the conversation between Kisame and Mantsuki, Yuuri, who was already hurt by Ye's words, felt even more complicated and depressed, and even began to doubt himself.

She, Mangetsu Hozuki, Yukiko Touna, and Yumi Uzumaki were all subordinates selected by Ye himself at that time. They were Ye's most capable helpers during his time in the Anbu!

But apart from her, the other three are now the backbone of the Hidden Mist Village!
Man Yue is now the deputy head of the Kirigakure Anbu, and is also the future patriarch of the 'Mizukage family', the Hozuki clan. His talent and strength are highly praised by Ye. It was even once believed that if the age difference between Ye and Man Yue was not that big, the position of the Fifth Mizukage might have been Man Yue!
As for Yukiko Touna and Yumi Uzumaki, there is no need to say more.

Although the two are not well-known in the Hidden Mist Village, all the top leaders of the Hidden Mist Village know how special they are.

The two of them are the general persons in charge of the Kirigakure human bloodline transformation and soul death god transformation projects respectively. Their status is even higher than Mangetsu Hozuki, and they are only below the Mizukage Yami.

It can be said that she is the only one left of Ye's Anbu team.

One of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and the owner of the Thunder Blade: Fang.

Although this name is also well-known in Kirigakure and even in the ninja world, it is far inferior to Mantsuki, Yukiko, and Yumi!

Ringo Yuuri's eyes were filled with confusion.

"what do I do……"

……

Ye was in the laboratory. As his shadow clone easily dealt with the resurrected Three-Tails and disappeared, he paused for a moment and his expression returned to normal.

In the extremely clean and tidy laboratory, there are many translucent glass jars placed along the wall, which are filled with strange-shaped objects, and most of them may not even be considered living things!

Stones, vegetation, utensils.

These inorganic substances actually grew flesh and blood in the glass jars, and it looked as if they were given life.

“I think it’s ready for human trials.”

Looking at the data analysis scroll in his hand, Ye raised his head and looked at Miroku in front of him, and said to Yumi beside him: "The balance of the four forces in Miroku's body is done very well. We just need to follow this ratio, and then living people can also master spiritual power."

"The only problem is how to pass on this power on such a large scale." Yumei said softly: "We can't transform each person one by one. The workload is too heavy, and it can't be universal."

"How about using the decision we made at the beginning and letting Maitreya create a holy place and establish a sect inheritance like the three holy places and the so-called evil god cult, so as to spread this power."

"This is a good choice, but the heritage of a holy place or sect with an ordinary name may not be very convincing to ordinary people." "Endorsed by the Mizukage, the title of Kirigakure, and the National Master of the Water Kingdom?"

"That's really possible! But the loyalty of future members..."

"Don't worry about that. This is originally for the purpose of promoting the power of the God of Death. As for the future core, I will select it again."

Quincy is different from Shinigami, it is more like Hollow, a general race.

As long as the base is large enough, Ye can select enough elites from it to form a powerful force.

Form a Star Cross Knights Order that belongs exclusively to Ye.

An invisible empire belonging to the night!

Yumi and Ye talked more and more excitedly. Miroku, who had no idea what was going on, was a little confused. The only thing he understood was that after successfully converting her chakra into the power of the god of death, she no longer had to experience the strange feeling of being torn and fused.

Yes, at this moment Maitreya has also completed his transformation into the God of Death.

In fact, it is not accurate to describe Maitreya as the god of death.

Maitreya is special. As a thousand-year-old immortal, the power in her body perfectly integrates the four energies of 'chakra, spiritual energy, natural energy, and soul energy'.

At this moment, Miroku only replaced the chakra of the four powers with the power of death. In addition, Miroku herself is a living being, so it is more accurate to describe her as a Quincy.

The world's first Quincy!

"Maitreya."

"Ah, here we come!"

Ye suddenly spoke, and Maitreya, who was counting ants with his head down, suddenly raised his head and responded seriously.

Looking at the serious Maitreya, Ye showed a gentle smile.

Miroku subconsciously shrank his neck. Every time Ye showed this expression, she would suffer unimaginable pain.

"There's no need to be so serious. Haven't you always wanted to get out of here? From today on, you will become a formal citizen of the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water."

"You can settle down anywhere in the Land of Water, including the Hidden Mist Village, and you can enter and leave these places freely, even if you want to leave the Land of Water and return to the Land of Demons."

"Really, really..."

There was a slight gleam in Maitreya's eyes, and when he said that he could return to the Land of Ghosts, his brilliance reached its peak!
Although she has merged with the monsters, awakened countless memories, and become the immortal Maitreya from a thousand years ago, everything she experienced as the witch Maitreya is deeply imprinted in her mind.

Perhaps Maitreya could ignore and give up those so-called subjects and officials, but Shiyuan, whom she had carried for ten months, was her daughter whom she could never give up!

I originally thought that I was captured by Mizunoe Tsukiyomi, and what awaited me would be dark experiments and imprisonment (this is indeed the case. Since Miroku was brought back, he has been in the laboratory)

But unexpectedly, today Mizunotsukiye would find her conscience and give her such a huge promise!
"What's the price..."

Miroku suppressed his excitement, swallowed, looked at Ye and whispered: "What is the price I have to pay."

There is no such thing as a free lunch. Ye has given her such a great treatment, so of course she has to pay the price she deserves.

"Don't worry, there's no price to pay. I, Mizunotsukiye, am not the kind of person who would suck the marrow out of people and take everything away."

Ye Wenhe said: "Do you still remember the agreement between you and me?"

"Agreement?" Miroku was stunned: "Are you serious?!"

"Of course. I, Mizunotsuki, never speak carelessly. Since I have already promised you, I will certainly not break my promise."

"From today on, you, Miroku, are the national teacher of my Water Kingdom, and the immortal wizard recognized by my fourth-generation Mizukage Mizuno Tsukiyomi personally!"

Ye Da waved his hand and said, "I will set aside an island among the countless islands in the Kingdom of Water as your exclusive holy land, just like the Ryuchi Cave, Myoboku Mountain and other holy places... Well, as for the name...魍魉 is a mountain and river monster, the god of plague is Black Shadow, and you are a Wuying Immortal, so let's call it Shadow Island."

"It's all up to you!"

Seeing Ye's completely genuine appearance, Maitreya was also a little excited. As for the name and so on, it didn't matter at all.

She only knew one thing, that from today on, she would be free again.

Not only is she free, she can even become the same being as the Toad Immortal, the White Snake Immortal, and the Slug Immortal!

"So, when do I start?"

Miroku looked at Ye nervously, fearing that Ye had just said this on a whim.

"It's better to do it today than today."

Ye smiled slightly: "From today on, you are the Wuyingxian of Shadow Island in the Hidden Mist Village of the Water Country, but there is one thing I want to make clear to you first."

Sure enough it's not that simple!
Miroku's heart tightened: "You say."

"Whether it's Longdi Cave, Myoboku Mountain, or Wet Bone Forest, they all hold the power of inheritance tightly in their hands, claiming to be holy places of immortals, high and mighty. For thousands of years, their inheritors can break it with just a snap of their fingers."

"But our Shadow Isles are different."

"The ninja world has suffered from the Six Paths Sage and Chakra for a long time. The Shadow Island is fighting for a glimmer of hope for the world, so I want you to open more shops. Anyone who has a connection with your Shadow Island can become your disciple."

"Destined person?"

Miroku blinked, a little confused.

Is this boundary a bit too general? What does fate mean?

Ye coughed lightly: "The so-called fate is that anyone who wants to join Shadow Island will be considered."

"All, all count?!"

Maitreya was a little bit unbelieving. If he kept doing this, wasn't he afraid that Shadow Island would become a mixed bag with all kinds of people in the future?

"We can't help it. The Wet Bone Forest, Ryuchi Cave, and Myoboku Mountain are all old holy places that have existed in the ninja world for thousands of years. Your Shadow Island has just been established. Even with my endorsement, it is still quite difficult to catch up with the three holy places. We can only overtake them in a curve."

"Besides, you should also understand why I asked you, the Shadow Immortal, to establish this Shadow Island."

Maitreya's heart tightened. How could he not understand what Ye meant?
The so-called Shadow Island is just a name given by Mizunoe Yue to promote the power of death.

Anyone who is destined can join the Shadow. What he really wants is to push this power of the God of Death to the entire ninja world!
This will completely overthrow the chakra tradition passed down by the Six Paths Sage!
