Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Chapter 183 The determination of light and dark, Uchiha Shisui's hollowification!
In order to compete for the position of Hokage, a huge vortex has formed in Konoha.

Shimura Danzo, Utane Koharu, Mito Kado En, Akimichi Tofu, Hyuga Hiashi, Uchiha Fugaku...

Almost all of Konoha's high-ranking officials are working hard for the position of the Fifth Hokage.

But just as Fugaku said, when everyone wants to be in power, even if the Hokage has the most resources and support in Konoha, they will still lose to the Uchiha in the final election.

When the elders and advisors of Konoha revealed their ambitions, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who originally wanted to control the overall situation, was horrified to find that in addition to Ino-Shika-Chou, several neutral ninjas who were slightly inclined towards Hokage, such as Aburame, Kurama, Shiranui, etc., had already begun to speculate among the candidates.

For example, the Aburame clan chose Danzo, and the Shiranui clan chose Mito Kado En.

Sarutobi Hiruzen could only try his best to push Ino-Shika-cho to support Akimichi Toukaze with all her strength, but unfortunately the effect was minimal.

The power of the Ino, Shika, and Chou clans in Konoha is actually quite huge. After the Second Ninja World War, apart from the Sarutobi clan and the Shimura clan, the most powerful clan in the entire Konoha is the Ino, Shika, and Chou clan.

However, during the Third Ninja World War, the Ino-Shika-Chou suffered heavy losses, especially on the Kirigakure battlefield, where not only did all the chiefs of the three clans of the Ino-Shika-Chou die, but the elite members of the clan were also basically killed by Mizunoe Tsukiyomi, causing the influence and combat power of the Ino-Shika-Chou to plummet, and they became a medium-sized ninja clan at the same level as the Inuzuka and Shiranui clans, only slightly stronger than those of Kurama.

The emergence of this situation made Sarutobi Hiruzen a little anxious.

He began to actively look for old friends such as Danzo, Utane Koharu, and Mitokado En, hoping that they could pool their strength and work towards the same goal.

But how can the friendship of the past be compared to the current position of Hokage? !
Even though Sarutobi Hiruzen tried to persuade him and analyzed the pros and cons, in the end only Utane Koharu joined Sarutobi Hiruzen, while Danzo and Mito Kado En continued to promote themselves in the village.

A Konoha ninja who doesn't want to be Hokage is not a good ninja.

In this village that has been promoting Hokage since childhood, almost everyone has a dream of becoming a Hokage in their hearts.

It’s just that the dream was buried deep in my heart due to various reasons and reality.

For example, Danzo!

"I know the chances are slim, but this may be my only chance in this lifetime, so I must do it!"

The paranoid Danzo stood on his side without hesitation, which made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel even more depressed.

Originally, those old guys could still fight against Uchiha together, but now, the situation among the candidates is that no one can compare with Uchiha Fugaku!

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted Danzo and Mito Kado En to support Akimichi Tofu together, but after several rounds of persuasion, Mito Kado En finally gave up.

Only Danzo was left.

But the stubborn Danzo was still unwilling to give up the election.

Don’t think that Danzo is the one who takes the blame and is the funny guy in the original work. Not only did he use kunai to cut off Susanoo, he also sealed the Feng Bridge.

But in Konoha at this stage, Danzo's reputation is very terrifying, especially among ninjas. Apart from Sarutobi Hiruzen, only Fugaku, who is now famous for opening the Mangekyo, can rival him.

Apart from that, Danzo’s reputation is unparalleled in the entire Konoha!
The actual head of the Shimura clan, the leader of the Root, and the Darkness of Shinobi!

It can be said that if Fugaku had not opened the Mangekyo and had an unparalleled reputation, given the situation in Konoha, the Fifth Hokage might really have been Danzo!
"Danzo and Fugaku..."

His old friend's insistence made Sarutobi Hiruzen realize that he could only choose one of the two.

There is no doubt that this choice does not allow for any hesitation.

Although my old friend is a little stubborn, his methods are a little dark, and his style is a little cruel.

But he is indeed devoted to Konoha and is a pure Hokage.

Giving the position of Hokage to him is definitely better than giving it to Uchiha!
"Danzo, I understand your thoughts. It is indeed the best choice to let you become Hokage now."

"I can support you, but there is one thing I hope you understand. When you step out of the dark shadows into the light, please don't bring your past ways with you."

"I know what you're worried about, Hiruzen. After all these years, do you think I don't know these things?"

Danzo stared at the old friend in front of him with his one eye, and the excitement in his heart could not be concealed at this moment: "Where there is light, there will be shadows. When I, who am in the darkness, walk towards the light, I will know the importance of light better than anyone else!"

"And you, old friend, I will let you take my place, so that you, a tree that once bathed in the sun, can also appreciate the meaning of darkness."

"…Only by experiencing light and darkness can one truly live life, right?"

"Everything is for Konoha. Hiruzen, my former teacher, is he not the one who combines light and darkness in one person?"

Danzo spoke softly, his slightly dim eyes reflecting on the past and flashing with anticipation for the future.

"I have never forgotten the teacher's teachings, and I also understand why the teacher chose you in the first place."

"Decades have passed, and I am 100% sure that I am ready. So, Hiruzen, just leave everything to me. I will do everything well and stop the evil Uchiha!"

"...Okay, everything is up to you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his old friend, took a deep breath, placed all his hopes on him, turned around and left the Root base.

Looking at the best friend he had been chasing after all his life, Danzo was even trembling.

His eyes were fixed on the light at the end of the dark corridor. That was the world under the sun that he could never reach in the past!

And now...

"I will win!"

Shimura Danzo's eyes have never been so determined: "I will definitely win!"

……

The Hokage election is in full swing.

And in a dark corner underground on an island in the Hueco Mundo of the Land of Water, a certain consciousness slowly began to turn once again.

"I am... Uchiha Shisui..."

"I am Uchiha Shisui, the rebel ninja of Konoha. I am Uchiha Shisui, the patriarch of the Kirigakure Uchiha clan. I am Uchiha Shisui, the captain of the 2nd Division of the Seireitei Gotei 13th Division..."

That consciousness gradually gathered its fragmented memories and began to project its own impressions and will into it.

A series of past events and life began to reappear in his mind, spiritual power, pupil power, everything began to emerge continuously.

As his name sounded, that consciousness finally realized what its own identity was.

He is Uchiha Shisui!
"Mizuno Tsukiyomi... the evil being that controls the soul. For Konoha's survival, for the last clan and village in my heart, I made a deal with him..."

'I am now like this because I devoured the power of the Hollow and became a fusion experiment of the Hollow and the God of Death.'

"During the experiment, I seemed to have failed and went berserk, but now..."

Just like rising slowly from the deep water, a feeling of breaking free made the existence sealed by the Ninety-Six Jing Fire Rack begin to tremble. Cracks appeared in the pure white bone armor, and a figure suddenly broke out from it.

The long-lost light made Uchiha Shisui subconsciously squint his eyes, and the moment he opened his eyes, a figure he didn't want to face at all was already standing in front of him.

Their eyes met in mid-air, and seeing the Rinnegan that involuntarily appeared in Shisui's eyes, a gentle smile appeared on Mizunoe Yue's face.

"I knew you wouldn't let me down, Shisui."

"The combination of the Hollow and the Shinigami breaks the boundaries of power and achieves a perfect fusion that transcends the power level. Just feeling the spiritual pressure on you is like seeing a rare treasure."

"Did your experiment... succeed..."

"That's natural, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to break the seal, right?"

Mizuno Yueye took out a scroll with a smile on her face and threw it over.

Shisui, who hadn't fully adapted yet, took it subconsciously.

"As a reward for your hard work, I have completed all the tasks you entrusted to me. Not only that, I have also provided you with some additional services."

"Additional services..."

"It can't be said that I gave it to you. It's just that after I completed all your commissions, things gradually evolved into this state." Mizunoe shrugged and motioned to Shisui to open the scroll himself and see what happened.

Shisui shook his head vigorously, forcing his groggy mind to wake up, then he opened the scroll in his hand and examined it carefully.

There is not much content on the scroll, but it is very detailed. It includes how Seireitei helped Konoha deal with Kumogakure, and the subsequent changes in Uchiha Fugaku, who showed his great power by driving Susanoo, which led to everything in Konoha at this stage.

"The Uchiha clan... is going to become Hokage?!"

"Although it hasn't happened yet, it's very likely. Unless Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others can come together and let Danzo be the Hokage, if nothing unexpected happens in this election, Uchiha Fugaku should be a sure winner."

Ye shrugged and said, "But we cannot rule out the possibility that Sarutobi Hiruzen and others will join forces to support Danzo. At that time, it may be a fierce battle."

"Why, you just woke up and learned the news. Did any special thoughts come to your mind?"

"What do you mean by that?" Shisui frowned deeply, "Do you think I will help Uchiha?"

"Who knows? It's up to you to choose."

Ye Suiyi said, "By the way, during the time you broke through, many Uchiha in the village were able to speak and even walk."

"If you are not interested in the mess that happened in Konoha, I have a job for you."

“…What’s going on?”

"Don't look like you're facing a great enemy, Shisui. It's not a difficult task. I'm giving you a benefit." Ye Xiaoyin took out another scroll and threw it to Shisui: "This is the summoning scroll of Shadow Island. I hope you can make all the Uchiha of Kirigakure sign a contract on it, so as to facilitate the advancement of my next stage of plan."

Shisui took the scroll, his brows furrowed.

As for the contract signing, Mizunotsukiyo could have just given the order and asked the Anbu to complete all the contracts. Why did they specifically ask me to do it? Did they want to use the Kirigakure Uchiha to restrict me and make me give up the Konoha Uchiha?
Also, this Shadow Island and the next phase of the plan...

Shisui opened the scroll in his hand, and it was empty, not even a single name.

Is this a special summoning service specifically for the Kirigakure Uchiha?
"You can ask Kurisan Kushimaru for the specific details."

Kurisan Kushimaru is the vice-captain of the second division. Although he has a rather distant relationship with Shisui, it is reasonable for the captain to ask the vice-captain when he has questions.

Shisui silently took the scroll in his hand and then looked towards Ye.

Use all sorts of messy things to refresh yourself, and now, it’s time to do the real business!

"I can't control this power well enough yet." Shisui took the initiative to speak.

"It doesn't matter. Although this is part of Hueco Mundo, due to some special circumstances, there is not even a shadow of Hueco Mundo on this island." Ye said softly, "So, there is no need to think too much. Just let it go."

"...Is that so?"

Uchiha Shisui looked at Mizunoe Yue with a complicated expression, took a deep breath, and looked solemn.

"Then please feel this power."

"This...power that broke the boundaries..."

Shisui drew out the Zanpakutō from his waist, and a terrifying aura instantly swept out of his body.

Completely different from the terrifying oppression in the past, the black spiritual power instantly burned the color of the entire world like a wildfire, and the surging breath seemed to be overbearing and wanted to tear the entire world apart and devour it!

In the midst of the dark fluctuations of spiritual energy, even the noble lavender eyes were filled with a hint of dark red light.

Shisui stared at Mizunoe Yue with his eyes fixed, and his violent spiritual power exploded in the blink of an eye, covering the entire island with layers of black mist.

"So……"

boom!
Unparalleled pressure burst out from the figure that was covered in dark red energy but whose body was extremely pale.

At this moment, everything in the sky seemed to be crushed by a huge compression, and the ground beneath the feet also showed cracks and continued to break apart!
Under this surging black and red spiritual pressure, a bone mask began to grow on his face. As his spiritual power continued to soar, the coverage area of ​​the bone mask began to expand from his left eye until it covered his entire face.

In Ye's surprised eyes, the whole world seemed to stop at this moment.

"Hollowed Bankai."

His voice was like the roar of an evil god and the scream of the undead!

"A clear mirror is like still water, and a bright moon is like a bright wind!"

A dark red tsunami of spiritual pressure surged out from the tip of the Zanpakutō in Shisui's hand. At this moment, the whole world seemed to be completely enveloped, suppressed, and blocked by this power!

"What an amazing power!"

Feeling the spiritual power bursting out of Shisui's body, the excitement in Ye's eyes was beyond words and indescribable.

Hollow Bankai, double amplification.

Spiritual power increased by dozens of times!

"Come on, show me your strength, Shisui!"

"Roar!!!"
