Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Chapter 217: Obito: "Itachi's childhood sweetheart? Great, great!"

During the First Ninja World War, he was entrusted with the task of succeeding the position of Hokage from his teacher, the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.

For decades, he worked diligently to develop Konoha. Although he had his faults, he also made contributions. Although he had come to this situation, Sarutobi Hiruzen never forgot his expectations for Konoha and his teacher.

Although Konoha is now steadily rising under the leadership of Fugaku, it is quite ridiculous in the eyes of Sarutobi Hiruzen. After all, when it has fallen to the bottom, any step forward is an improvement.

Think about what Konoha was like when he was in power.

At that time, Konoha had strong military forces and abundant resources. Whether in terms of comprehensive strength or status in the ninja world, the Fighting Saint was undoubtedly the number one in the ninja world.

Even after experiencing two world wars, each time being besieged by several major powers, it still managed to stand at the top of the ninja world.

This is Konoha under his rule! (Well, the ancestors left a lot of foundation, just like Qianlong defeated Yongzheng, it is impossible to defeat them all, it is impossible to defeat them all)

And now?

Even if Uchiha Fugaku has the Mangekyō, what can he do? He still can only rely on Mizunoe Tsukiyomi, submit to Kirigakure, and be controlled by others over his life and death.

Of course, if it were just that, Sarutobi Hiruzen would not have too many emotions. After all, Konoha is indeed in decline now, and there is nothing wrong with submitting to the power of others.

But the problem lies in Mizuno Yueye's ability!

Kill people, take their souls, devour their growth.

This ability is too overbearing and too powerful. Relying on this power, Mizunoe Tsukiyomi has risen from a small jonin to the pinnacle of his life in just a few years. This shows how strong and powerful it is.

Although for now, Mizunoe Tsukiyomi's attitude towards Konoha is quite friendly. Not only did he form a three-country infrastructure alliance with Konoha, he also accepted Hyuga Hiashi's daughter as his apprentice, and even took the initiative to help Konoha end the war with Kumogakure.

But this happened to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who saw it and became extremely anxious.

Isn't this simply taking control of Konoha bit by bit?

From supporting Uchiha Fugaku to seize the political power of Konoha, to winning over the ninja clan by recruiting disciples, and finally ending the war with Kumogakure and winning over the hearts of the people.

If this continues, it won’t be long before the entire Konoha will become Mizunoe Yue’s back garden!
At that time, if what Uchiha Obito said came true, then Konoha would really become a leek in the vegetable garden for Mizunoe Yue...

"This kind of thing must never happen. I will never allow it..."

"I am the leaf that protects Konoha from wind and rain. Even if I am no longer the Hokage, I will still protect Konoha..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen murmured, as if he had made up his mind. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Obito: "I can cooperate with you to deal with Mizunoe Tsukiyomi!"

"Hahahaha, this is what I know, the Third Hokage who is known as the Ninja Hero!"

Obito laughed, and seemed not surprised at all that Sarutobi Hiruzen would agree to his cooperation.

This old fellow, who was called Ninja Hero, took over the position of Hokage again after the death of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze. This showed that he was definitely not someone who would easily accept his failure, and he was definitely not someone who could easily give up power, interests and fame.

Someone who had held power and had it all, only to fall to rock bottom in just a few years.

How can such a person willingly accept failure?
Facing such a guy, Obito doesn't need to be too tempted, nor does he need to use threats or inducements. He just needs to tell him the current situation clearly, and with a little bit of chance, he will take the bait.

And that's what it is.

"What are you going to do?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the laughing Uchiha Obito and said in a deep voice, "I'll make it clear in advance that I will not join any messy organization, nor will I do anything that will harm the interests of Konoha."

"Of course."

Obito chuckled.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has always valued his reputation, and being able to sign a defeat contract with Mizunoe Tsukiyomi in the Third Ninja World War was the best he could do. The reason why he survived in this cage-like house was not because he lost to Uchiha Fugaku in the battle for the position of Hokage, but because the entire Konoha and the Sarutobi clan currently hated and despised him.

Hearing Obito's agreement, Sarutobi Hiruzen was relieved. He was really afraid that the other party would ask him to do something like "betray the village" or "join the rebel ninja organization".

"There is no doubt that Mizunotsukiyo is powerful and threatening. If you don't have a foolproof plan, once you attack him, you will inevitably suffer greater retaliation and blows."

"Of course I know this, that's why I came to you."

Obito said calmly: "However, with your current decaying body, I'm afraid you can't even challenge Mizunoe Yoru. Even Danzo is probably stronger than you."

"There's no need to show that expression. Danzo and Uchiha Fugaku both accepted the cells of the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, and successfully suppressed and fused them."

"Teacher's...cells..." As soon as these words came out, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes suddenly became extremely gloomy.

He had known about the research on the primary cells a long time ago, and even intervened in the organization, and asked for the only living person of the primary cells, 'A', from Danzo.

Now that the situation has reversed, it is unexpected that Danzo and Fugaku have both fused the cells of the first generation!
"What do you want to do?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked in a deep voice: "I don't have the resources, the power, or access to those things now... and if I remember correctly, you are also the owner of the cells of the first generation teacher."

"Yes, I do possess the power of Hashirama Senju, but relying solely on this power is far from enough to defeat Mizunoe Tsukiyomi."

"If you want to defeat Mizunoe Tsukiyomi, you must master a higher level of power."

"A higher level of power?" Sarutobi Hiruzen's pupils shrank slightly.

"Do you still remember a ninja named Bei Liuhu?"

Obito took out the scroll of 'Kimetsu no Jutsu' from his arms and threw it to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took it, opened it and examined it carefully. His already pale brows furrowed even more.

After a long while, Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the scroll and said, "I have known this technique for a long time. I ordered Hiruko to be hunted down because he studied this forbidden ninjutsu. You took out this technique, are you trying to make me use this forbidden technique?"

"You are worthy of being called the Ninja Doctor. Yes, I do think so." Obito nodded and said, "After defecting from Konoha, Hiruko conducted an in-depth study of this technique. With my modification, I finally perfected this technique to its current level."

"By fusing the cells of Hashirama Senju and the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, the bloodline power of the Six Paths Sage can be reproduced. Danzo and Fugaku have already mastered these two powers. This is why they are able to have such combat power."

"But even if they are, they only represent a tiny fraction of their power, because these two forces are extremely violent, just like the cells of Hashirama Senju. Ordinary people simply cannot fuse them. They must undergo special transformation or adaptation before they can do so."

"But Hiruko's Kigera no Jutsu can deeply fuse these two powers." Obito looked deeply at Sarutobi Hiruzen: "I think you already have the cells of Hashirama Senju, so you just need to find another suitable Uchiha..."

"You want me to go to war with Fugaku?!" Sarutobi Hiruzen glared at Obito: "Don't even think about it. I can't possibly get involved in the power of the Uchiha clan. This is the bottom line!"

Whether it was his former friend Uchiha Kagami or his teacher's teachings, Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart was filled with strange and special emotions towards the power of the Uchiha clan.

In fact, he had already known that Danzo had his hands on the power of Uchiha and Senju. He should not doubt the Hokage's control over the villagers, not to mention that the man was his good friend.

He could feel the changes in Danzo and the power that the two bloodlines could bring, but even so, he still always resisted these things because the Senju and Uchiha had a different position in his heart.

"Why, you don't want to offend the bloodline of your ancestors?" Uchiha Obito saw the complex emotions in Sarutobi Hiruzen's dim eyes, sneered, but did not say much, and said: "In that case, why not try another formula."

"Another recipe?"

"Ah, a formula that can also allow one to enter the realm of the Six Paths."

"Uzumaki, Hyuga, Corpse Vein..."

Obito's figure was slowly swallowed by the space vortex, leaving only a scroll lying quietly on the table.

Sarutobi Hiruzen squinted his eyes, feeling the gentle evening breeze, and tapped the table with his fingers.

There has never been a shortage of forbidden techniques in Konoha. He has been in power for more than 30 years and is known as the Doctor of Ninjutsu. He has studied most of the ninjutsu in Konoha, which naturally includes countless forbidden techniques.

He also did some research on Hokuro's Kisara Technique. Now, when he looked through it again, which Obito called the 'upgraded version of Kisara Technique', he had a different feeling in his heart.

As a ninja doctor, with Sarutobi Hiruzen's fierce gaze, he could see the characteristics of this technique even without trying it, and he could also understand the risks and hidden dangers contained therein.

But even so, he could still see the huge potential of this technique.

Just as Obito said, this technique can indeed enable people to break through bottlenecks, break limitations, and achieve self-improvement.

The fusion of blood and the return of ancestral bloodline, the power contained therein is enough to make a person transform into an extraordinary person!

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes on the Demon Bud Scroll for a long time and fell into deep thought.

The Ghost Gera Technique can bring great power, but the side effects and costs of this technique cannot be ignored. Blood fusion is a way of destroying one's own origin. Once it fails or an accident occurs, it will cause irreversible and huge damage to the human body.

This is unacceptable for Sarutobi Hiruzen, who wants to return to the sun in the future and continue to protect Konoha.

But if it's someone who's already in the dark...

"Someone is coming."

Sarutobi Hiruzen formed seals with his hands, then shouted, and a figure appeared behind him.

"Sarutobi-sama."

"Send Danzo over here."

"Yes!"

……

In fact, Obito didn't take Sarutobi Hiruzen's move too seriously.

If this old guy could really burst out with something different and cause a certain amount of trouble to Mizunoe Yue, that would naturally be the best.

If it doesn't work, he doesn't care, since he has already got the Zero Tail Technique.

In a dense forest in Konoha Village.

"Sharingan fuck windmill!"

"Fire Release: The Art of Fire Dragon!"

The fire dragon roared out along the wire and danced in the clearing among the trees.

After releasing the ninjutsu, Uchiha Itachi knelt on the ground panting, but he soon stood up again and threw shuriken at the target in the distance again.

On the huge tree on one side.

Standing on the giant tree, Obito narrowed his eyes and stared at Uchiha Itachi who was practicing crazily: "He is indeed a genius."

On the tree trunk, Zetsu, who had half of his body sticking out, nodded: "One Uchiha against seven, the son of Uchiha Fugaku, opened the Sharingan early, and is praised as a genius who surpassed Shisui. He is currently the most outstanding demon in the Uchiha clan!"

"And his personality is very special. If guided well, there is a high probability that he can awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan."

As a scout of the Akatsuki organization, Zetsu's perception ability is outstanding in the entire ninja world. In addition, with the existence of Black Zetsu, all members of the Uchiha clan have been under his attention for a long time.

Uchiha Itachi, this talented little guy, has been the focus of his attention since birth!

"Genius?"

As if some memories were evoked, Obito's exposed Sharingan revealed a strange emotion, and his tone was still cold: "If you want to open the Mangekyo, relying on this talent alone is far from enough, you also need enough hatred!"

Only strong emotions can stimulate the Mangekyo, and Obito is very clear about this. Hatred is the easiest to obtain and one of the most extreme emotions among these emotions.

Everything he experienced and saw that day had long become the most unforgettable nightmare in his heart. It was precisely because of that emotion that he was able to open the Mangekyō Sharingan.

The deeper the love, the stronger the power that will be unleashed. This is the curse contained deep in the blood of the Uchiha clan!

"Is there anything he likes or loves?"

"... Sarutobi Hiruzen's Will of Fire?" White Zetsu made a cold joke out of the blue. After sensing Obito's dangerous gaze, he immediately said, "Apart from his parents Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto, it should be his younger brother."

"By the way, he also has a childhood sweetheart who he is very close to."

"oh?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Obito's eyes suddenly became interested.

Childhood sweethearts, this is great!
