Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Chapter 233: Otsutsuki Isshiki and the Deformed Nagato

After the death of the Fourth Hokage until the time of Pain, the ninja world had actually been in a state of lack of "high-end combat power" and a lack of successors.

The Gundam era has not yet arrived, and the tattoo era is nowhere in sight. A large group of so-called ninja clan members who play with some so-called secret techniques are already the strong ones of this era.

Add to that a little scientific research and study of the tailed beasts' chakra, and this is the capacity of a strong man of this era.

However, there are some monsters hiding in the dark that have the power to destroy everything.

In addition to the immortals in the three holy places, the six immortals in the Yellow Spring Pure Land are one of them.

Kaguya Otsutsuki, who was sealed on the moon, is also one of them.

And the last person was the seemingly ordinary-looking Shamatte monk who had looked like him before with Ye Suo.

Kindness!

In other words, Otsutsuki Isshiki!
This young monk, who looks a bit like a Shamatte and is extremely respected by countless monks in the Fire Temple, has actually been traveling in this world for a thousand years. He is the behind-the-scenes leader of the "Kara" organization and a member of the Otsutsuki clan who came to Earth with Otsutsuki Kaguya!

That was the Otsutsuki who, through the memory of the evil god Jia Jin, destroyed countless indigenous peoples of the Earth with a wave of his hand, under the lava ground of the Land of Hot Springs!
Thousands of years ago in ancient times, Otsutsuki Isshiki and his guardian Otsutsuki Kaguya went to Earth to plant the Divine Tree in order to cultivate the Ten-Tails into a Divine Tree and produce the Divine Fruit.

After clearing out the natives, according to the plan, Otsutsuki Isshiki prepared to sacrifice the lower-ranking Kaguya to the Ten-Tails.

But at the critical moment of sacrifice, Kaguya Otsutsuki suddenly became hostile to Isshiki and launched an attack on him!
Isshiki was caught off guard and ambushed by Kaguya. He was seriously injured and on the verge of death. He was forced to use his eye technique to parasitize a young monk who was passing by.

And this monk was none other than the white-robed monk, Cixian!

Under normal circumstances, the Otsutsuki clan, even if they don't eat the chakra fruit, their strength is firmly at the Six Paths level. This is the difference in life level.

And Isshiki, the 'nobles', 'guardians' and 'senior personnel' of the Ōtsutsuki clan, must have eaten the fruit, but the fruit they ate was not the 'high-quality chakra fruit' of the Earth.

Whether it was Ye's battle with Naruto and Sasuke in the memory of the evil god Jia Jin, or in the original work when his combat power was only one tenth of what it was, the combat power of this Otsutsuki was fully demonstrated.

There is no doubt that even if Jigen is still in a parasitic state at this moment, and the injuries caused by Kaguya will take a thousand years to heal, his strength is still beyond the scope that the ninja world can bear at this stage.

If he is pushed into a corner, even Ye won't be able to take him down easily.

While the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman benefits. If he and Yishi fight to the death, the old Bidden in the Pure Land of the Underworld will definitely not sit idly by.

"You guys stay here for now, I'll go take care of it."

After Ye gave some instructions, his figure disappeared from the spot.

Mei Terumi and Ye Cang looked at each other, and without any hesitation, they directly pulled up Guang who was still in a daze and returned to their temporary resting place.

At the same time, Mei Terumi took out a scroll, took out several azure crystals from it, and placed them around the room.

"Do we need to be so cautious?" Ye Cang whispered, "With that guy's power, no one in this world should be able to threaten him."

"some."

Mei Terumi shook her head, the look in her beautiful eyes had never been so solemn.

Seeing that Ye had such a solemn look on his face, she already had some guesses about the monk's identity.

If nothing unexpected happens, that guy... should be Ye's imaginary enemy, the biggest hidden danger in the ninja world, the chakra masters who roam the universe and devour planets.

Otsutsuki!
……

There were ripples in the space, and Ye's figure appeared silently outside the Fire Temple.

The breeze blew the branches of the forest. As if she had already anticipated that Mizunotsuki Ye would follow, Jigen stood quietly where she was and did not leave immediately.

Sensing the distorted space, his eyes narrowed slightly, he glanced back, and then retracted his gaze.

"You really noticed something."

"Under normal circumstances, I really wouldn't have noticed your presence, but after all, I have seen you with my own eyes."

Ye spoke calmly, following Cixian's gaze and looking at the magnificent Fire Temple in front of him: "The evil god Jiajin hidden under the ground of the Kingdom of Hot Springs allowed me to glimpse your purpose and power. I didn't expect that a thousand years later, I would be able to meet you in this form."

"The Land of Hot Springs..." Jixian frowned slightly, as if he was searching for something in his long memory. After a moment, a hint of indifference and disdain appeared on his face: "That inferior creature knows how to linger on."

"Compared to that guy, your current attitude is not much better."

"Provocation has no effect on me."

Cixian's eyes were calm, like a thousand-year-old well, without any disturbance.

He has spent a thousand years in this world. The betrayal a thousand years ago caused him to lose most of the information he had accumulated in the process of swallowing the chakra fruit.

As a result, for a long time, he was unable to accumulate the chakra needed to activate a complete 'wedge' to achieve reincarnation and resurrection.

But it was also during this thousand years of rest and recuperation that allowed him, who was already very talented, to learn a lot of things.

For example, planning.

For example, forbearance.

He has lived in Jigen's body for thousands of years and witnessed the entire history of the ninja world from its birth to the present. He has enough patience and confidence to wait for the arrival of his own era.

How could a few words shake his heart that had been tempered for thousands of years?

"I can feel the special power in you, and I can see the path you are taking. It is completely different from the Otsutsuki clan, but it is also very similar."

Jigen looked at Mizunotsukiye in front of him and said, "The descendant of that traitor will not allow you to continue on this path."

"Then do you think that you, the guy who wants to kill his mother, will be let go?" Ye sneered: "I hope to talk to a smart person, Otsutsuki, I think you should be a smart person."

"…What do you want to do?"

There is indeed a huge gap in strength between the two sides, but if the 'wedge' is completely unfrozen, the offense and defense between the two will change in an instant.

But once the 'wedge' on Jigen's body is thawed, it means that his life has entered a countdown stage, which is unacceptable to Isshiki.

He is open to negotiation.

After a thousand years of dormancy, he realized that if the Otsutsuki clan blindly held on to the arrogance of the so-called people in heaven, they would only fail miserably in the end.

Besides, the other party is not a low-level inferior creature. Mizunoe Yue, who possesses the power of the soul, is, to some extent, on the same level as him.

"I need information about the Otsutsuki clan as a reward." Mizunoe's gaze lingered on Isshiki's hand: "The reason you came to the Fire Temple should be for the chakra in that kid. No, to be precise, you came to check whether the kid with a lot of Nine-Tails chakra in his body can become your new carrier."

“You guy…” Otsutsuki Isshiki raised his eyebrows with Jigen’s leather case and asked in a deep voice, “You are just a guy who has not inherited any of the power of the Otsutsuki bloodline, but you actually know this much about the Otsutsuki.”

"In a thousand years, is this weak body the only thing you have improved?"

"What a sharp-tongued boy!"

The two of them exchanged a few words, but neither side tacitly took action.

Both of them were well aware that while the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman benefits. In addition, both sides were very unhappy with the guy who was in the underworld, so they hit it off tacitly.

"If you can really help me cultivate a body that can carry my 'wedge', then I can provide you with all the information you want." Cixian raised his head and said proudly: "This includes the secret of how I can live for a thousand years!"

"Boring stuff." Mizuno Yueye sneered, "The continuation of life is just the lowest of things. To me, immortality is worthless."

"Arrogant guy..."

Cixian hummed softly but did not refute.

At their level, life has long been meaningless. Whether it's the digitized form of the Otsutsuki clan, the reincarnation of Infinite using the "wedge", or the spiritual origin of Mizunoe Tsukiyomi, both sides have already broken away from the concepts of "body" and "life".

In this case, Cixian didn't think of using such low-value items to complete the transaction.

"what do you want."

"How to cultivate the Ten-Tails!"

“You… are you also coveting the power of this world?!” Jigen Kyon narrowed his eyes, glanced up and down at Mizunotsuki, and sneered: “The seed of the Ten-Tails can only be activated by the blood of the Otsutsuki clan. Even if you get the Ten-Tails, it will be useless… Wait, you want…”

"Interesting. As the master of souls, you actually have such a horrible idea. Aren't you worried that those guys under your command will rebel?"

"There is no such thing as betrayal, because there has never been any loyalty."

Ye spoke indifferently.

Ever since he spread the power of death in this world, he never thought about how loyal those who wield the power of death would be to him.

As for the people under his command, apart from the core members of Kirigakure, the Shinigami of Soul Society only submitted to him for various reasons.

Just like the Six Paths Sage back then.

Is he spreading chakra in order to make those who possess it loyal to him?

It's just to cultivate strength and facilitate better harvest!
"That's really ambitious."

Looking at Mizunotsuki who displayed his ambition without any concealment, even Jigen, who had been lurking in this world for a thousand years, could not help but sigh at the magnanimity of this guy Mizunotsuki.

Such a guy, once fully grown up, would be a leader even within the Otsutsuki clan.

Jixian stared at Ye for a long time, and slowly said: "I can give you the method of cultivating the Ten-Tails, but the prerequisite is that you can really give me a carrier that can withstand my 'wedge'!"

The Ten Tails is the key tool for the Otsutsuki clan to search the universe. By using the power of the Ten Tails, they devour the lives of various planets to produce Chakra Fruits. After the Otsutsuki eat the Chakra Fruits, they can use them to make pills, which can extend their lifespan and enhance their strength.

However, in order for the Ten-Tails to truly transform from a 'tailed beast' into a 'sacred tree' capable of producing chakra fruits, an Ōtsutsuki is needed as a sacrifice.

Of course, if it was according to what he guessed about Mizunoe Tsukiye's idea, Mizunoe Tsukiye would not directly activate the Ten Tails, but would "transform" it from the God of the Third Eye who devoured the fruit of life-condensing chakra, into a soul-devouring monster that belonged to him alone.

But this is not important to Cixian. What he cares more about is his path to resurrection!

His chakra was too powerful, so Jigen's body and natural energy cultivation could not withstand his chakra at all, and was not suitable as a "vessel" for his reincarnation.

If Mizunoe Tsukiye can really find a 'vessel' that can carry his 'wedge' to revive him and return him to his peak form, then what does it matter if he is given this little Ten-Tails?

In his prime, Otsutsuki Isshiki had the confidence to sweep away everything!

Just like when he first came to Earth and swept away these natives, as long as he could return to his peak, Otsutsuki Isshiki would be able to control the overall situation.

What descendant of Kaguya, what master of souls, what immortal of holy land, to him in his prime, they were nothing but that!

"rest assured."

Mizuno Yueye took out a deep blue crystal from her arms and threw it to Jigen.

"When I find a suitable guy, I will contact you. Please prepare everything."

"It's a word."

He casually handed over the crystal stone, looked deeply at Mizunoe Ye, and condensed a special black stick and threw it to Ye.

Then, a pitch-black space cavity suddenly appeared behind him and swallowed his body.

Ye took the black stick, feeling the special chakra contained in it, his eyes flickered, and after slowly staying in the space where it dissipated for a moment, his figure also disappeared from the spot...

The country of rain, the village hidden in the rain.

Beiliuhu slowly walked out of the operating room and looked at Xiaonan who was pacing anxiously in front of the door, with a very confident smile on his face.

"Don't worry, the leader's physical condition has recovered very well. Because of this injury, it has even become a blessing in disguise that his cells have been better integrated with the First Hokage's."

"The current leader will only be more powerful than before!"

"Are you recovered?" Xiaonan breathed a sigh of relief, loosened the paper flowers in his hand, and walked into the operating room without looking back, leaving Beiliuhu scratching the bandage at the corner of his mouth awkwardly.

But before Beiluhu could leave, Xiaonan's raised voice suddenly came from the operating room behind him.

"Hirohu! Hirohu! What happened to Nagato?!"

"Beiliuhu!"

Bei Liuhu was startled when he heard the call, and quickly walked into the room.

But the scene that came into his eyes made him freeze in place.

Nagato, who had originally recovered, was now sitting cross-legged on the hospital bed. His face was ruddy, his hair was blood red, and his breath was strong.

But his body...

Instead, countless branches and fleshy buds emerged, looking like arms, densely covering his entire body!
