Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Chapter 255: The Era of Comprehensive Spiritualization

The Sharingan that Uchiha Madara brought in the past was collected by countless Uchiha members in the Warring States Period after they died in battle for the development of the clan and so that the Uchiha could have a better future in the chaotic war era.

The Sharingan that Obito was replenishing at this moment was dug out by him from the eye sockets of countless Uchiha clan members.

Looking at the wall of Sharingan in front of him, Uchiha Obito's eyes were without any extra emotion. Black Zetsu slowly moved forward: "The probability of Kiyomaru's failure is not small. Using Izanagi to avoid it is indeed the best idea."

"And the Hashirama cells in your body are strong enough. You don't have to worry about transplanting too many Sharingans and causing uneven energy. Obito, you are indeed a genius."

"Stop giving me meaningless compliments and get ready for White Zetsu to transplant my body!"

Zetsu looked at the wall of Sharingan, then at Obito's body, and looked him up and down: "Well, both of your eyes are Mangekyō, so they can only be transplanted to other places... How about transplanting them to your arms like Danzo did? Half of your body happens to be made up of my cells."

"Just watch it."

The risk of transplanting the Sharingan is very small for Obito, because he is a member of the Uchiha clan, so there will not be much backlash of eye power, and there will be no pressure to carry the Sharingan.

What he really needs to consider is whether the strength of the Sharingan will exceed the Yang escape power of the Senju Wood Release in his body, thereby causing an accident in Kiyomaru's ritual.

"That's fine, but if it's not implanted in the eye socket and connected to the optic nerve, there might be some rejection reaction, and the success rate of the transplant might be reduced."

"It doesn't matter. There are enough Sharingan here. It doesn't matter if we fail a few times."

There are hundreds of pairs of Sharingan here. Even if he only chooses three magatama, there are more than ten pairs. He can definitely afford the loss.

As long as he could successfully transplant the Sharingan, he could use Izanagi to avoid the consequences of Kigera's failure. In other words, as long as he successfully transplanted one, he would have one more chance.

I, Uchiha Obito, never fight a battle without preparation!
……

After receiving the news, Fugaku and the Konoha ninjas rushed back to Konoha without stopping.

After returning to Konoha, Fugaku immediately went back to the Uchiha clan to determine the extent of the damage.

The situation was even more tragic than the previous intelligence. The original intelligence only counted the naturalized ninja members of the Uchiha clan, and then estimated the casualties of ordinary civilians. But when Fugaku got the detailed information, he almost blacked out and fainted on the ground.

After his hard work in the past few years, the original Uchiha clan has developed steadily and has surpassed the Sarutobi clan to become the largest clan in Konoha.

It's better now.

Although the senior elite Uchiha members he placed in various positions are still there, the clan's strength has never been based on a few top ninjas.

A huge base and a constant supply of newborns are the foundation of a strong clan, but this time Uchiha Obito completely massacred the Uchiha clan's base. Let alone being the number one ninja clan, the Uchiha clan is likely to become a third-rate force that is even inferior to the Ino-Shika-Cho!

Not only that.

In addition to the Uchiha's overall strength falling to the bottom, Fugaku's control and prestige over Konoha also plummeted.

The deaths of a large number of Uchiha clan members in battle caused the Uchiha clan to lose strength. Fortunately, people in important positions are still there, otherwise Fugaku would even become a commander without troops, with no one available!

After roughly ascertaining the situation of the clan, Fugaku rushed to the hospital without stopping. Seeing Itachi lying on the bed, his right eye bandaged and bleeding, his whole body looking weak, tired, even numb, Fugaku's heart ached.

"Itachi..."

"Father." Hearing the call, the confusion and numbness in Uchiha Itachi's eyes faded a little, and he subconsciously wanted to get up.

Fugaku hurried forward, supported his back and shoulders, and pressed him onto the bed: "Rest well, no need to be polite."

"Father, I..." Itachi's lips trembled and he was very emotional. His exposed left eye even opened the Three-magatama Sharingan. His pupil power was surging, and a strange cold chakra instantly filled the entire room.

This eye-power chakra!
Fugaku's pupils shrank slightly. He was already on his way here and learned the details through Tiehuo.

Tiehu was the first Uchiha member to arrive at the scene that day, and also the first one to notice Itachi's unusual condition.

"Godaime, Itachi may have opened the same eyes as yours!"

Tiehuo reported this to him when he came over.

There is no doubt that the only chakra that can have such powerful eyes is the Mangekyō Sharingan. Could it be that Itachi opened the Mangekyō Sharingan because he witnessed the tragic deaths of countless clansmen and was emotionally excited?
No, it shouldn't be that simple.

Fugaku, who knew the difficulties and conditions of opening the Mangekyo, resisted asking for the details of the Mangekyo. Instead, he calmed Itachi's emotions and then slowly asked, "What happened that night?"

"I……"

Itachi's lips trembled and he couldn't speak at all.

"Don't resist my eye power too much." Fugaku sighed softly, activated illusion, and penetrated into Itachi's mind.

Under the power of his pupils, the scene in the ward in front of him suddenly changed.

Under the blood moon, the blood-colored kaleidoscope of the Uzumaki masked man looked like dripping blood, but in an instant, Itachi lost control of this body.

Under the power of illusion, the short blade in Itachi's hand took away the lives of his clansmen one by one, and those dead clansmen were dug out one by one by Uchiha Obito.

The more he watched, the more excited Fugaku became, until finally, when Itachi, who was controlled, killed Izumi with his own hands, and the illusion was finally broken.

The near emotional collapse drove Itachi completely insane and made Fugaku close his eyes in agony. He could fully imagine how devastated Itachi was at the moment the illusion was lifted.

He killed everyone with his own hands, even his beloved girl died in his hands.

In this mood, Itachi opened his Mangekyō Sharingan, but the moment he opened his eyes, that guy took one away...

"asshole……"

The uncontrollable anger surged into his heart like a tide at this moment, and Fugaku finally understood why there was no trace of this guy in this encirclement and suppression operation in the Rain Country.

It was not because Mizunoe Tsukiyomi had set up a special barrier to limit time and space ninjutsu, which made the opponent afraid and did not show up, but because the opponent was not in the Rain Country from the beginning!

Fugaku slowly withdrew from the illusion, opened his eyes, and sighed as he looked at Itachi, who was full of remorse. "Itachi, don't blame yourself. This time it's not your fault. Everything is because of that guy."

"But!" Itachi raised his hands tremblingly, his remaining eyes widened: "But I killed countless people of my clan, including Quan, I..."

"This is not your fault, you are being controlled! That masked man is the culprit behind all this!" Fugaku interrupted Itachi's words with a harsh voice, and a pair of big hands fell on Itachi's shoulders: "I know that you have complicated emotions in your heart, anger, sadness, self-blame, and you are at a loss..."

"But no matter what your emotions are, you have to understand one thing."

"You are my proudest son!"

Itachi raised his head, tears in his eyes. "Father..."

Fugaku patted Itachi's shoulder, and his tone became slightly softer: "Just calm down."

After saying this, Fugaku slowly walked out of the ward and closed the door. The gentle expression on his face suddenly became stern.

"Take care of Itachi, Tetsuka."

"Yes, Mr. Patriarch!"

After leaving the hospital, Fugaku went to the Hokage Building. The elders and senior officials who received the news also gathered in the building early.

Faced with the aggressive and furious Fugaku, no one present said a word. Fugaku was not polite either, and directly fired at the elders!
"Yan, I remember that I had asked you to replace all the barriers in the village with special barriers that prevent time and space ninjutsu. How come that masked man was able to sneak into Konoha this time!"

"Danzo, what is your root for? When something like this happened to Uchiha, your root didn't even react at all. You just sat there and watched Uchiha suffer such a disaster. If it was other ninja clans in Konoha, or the Shimura clan, who suffered this disaster, would you do the same?"

"And you..."

Faced with Fugaku's anger, the elders wisely did not respond and silently endured Fugaku's rage.

No one would be able to bear such a thing happening to the Uchiha clan, let alone Fugaku, who is the Hokage.

Fortunately, Fugaku did not continue to fire for long. Although the Uchiha's core base was gone, the elite were still there, and their positions in the village naturally could not be changed. The only problem was that Setsuna, the head of the Anbu, was gone.

This position needs to be filled, but there is currently no Uchiha who is suitable for this position.

Fugaku's gloomy gaze moved among the elders and finally landed on Hiashi.

Compared with these guys, Hiashi, who is also closely related to Mizunoe Tsukiyomi, and whose daughter is also Mizunoe Tsukiyomi's disciple, is obviously the best choice, even if this approach will make the power of the Hyuga clan continue to expand.

But for the Uchiha at this stage, no matter how much the power of the Hyuga clan expands, they are powerless.

After venting his anger for a while, Fugaku leaned back on the chair weakly, looking a little tired, and said: "In this battle in Rain Country, we successfully defeated the Akatsuki organization, but the enemy retreated in time and failed to keep them."

"Didn't they destroy the other party?" Danzo suddenly spoke, frowning and said, "With Mizunoe Tsukiyo's strength, Akatsuki was able to escape?"

Fugaku glared at Danzo, feeling very unhappy with him for standing by and watching outside the Uchiha clan territory, but it was he who issued the order prohibiting the Root from entering the Uchiha clan territory at will, and he had nowhere to complain.

With anger and a little depression, Fugaku roughly recounted everything that happened in the Land of Rain, focusing on describing the power of the god of death. He only mentioned in passing the fact that Obito was able to fight against the three Kages alone.

Everyone was impressed by the powerful force of the Shinigami, but Mito Kado En and others were quite dissatisfied with Tsunade and Orochimaru joining the Soul Society.

"Really? It's okay that Orochimaru is a traitor, but Tsunade is so powerful and she still doesn't return to the village. It's really..."

"Well, this is Princess Tsunade's own choice after all. Besides, we are allies with Kirigakure now, so let's not say these words anymore." Fugaku glanced at Utane Koharu and said in a deep voice: "The most important thing today is the promotion of spiritual power. Next, I will select a group of ninjas from the Anbu and the Root to cooperate with the group of ninjas selected by the sage of Ryuchi Cave to transform spiritual power."

"Secondly, I plan to completely replace the chakra training courses in the ninja school with spiritual power!"

"Isn't this too hasty?" Mitomon Yan pushed the frame of his glasses on his nose and said in a deep voice: "Chakra is deeply rooted in people's hearts. If we completely abandon chakra and focus on spiritual power, I'm afraid many people will find it difficult to accept it."

"You have to accept it even if you don't want to!"

Fugaku said in a deep voice: "In this war, our Konoha suffered the most serious losses. The fundamental reason is that the Kumogakure and Sand Village have already started the era of universal spiritual power, and the ninjas are very powerful. If our Konoha does not keep up with the pace, we are bound to fall further and further behind."

"There is no need to discuss this matter any further. I will issue the Hokage order later and execute it directly!"

"Yes, the Godaime!"

"You are the backbone of the village. This is a difficult task. I can't decide it with just one sentence. You have to work harder and push it forward."

"understandable!"

Fugaku said something else, but in the end, he still did not directly hand over the position of Anbu Minister. After the meeting was over and everyone dispersed, he sat alone in the Hokage's office for a long time without saying a word, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After the meeting, Danzo left the Hokage's office and went to his Root base. He told Sarutobi Hiruzen everything that happened in the office.

"Fugaku is quite calm. With such a huge change, he is still thinking about handling Konoha's political affairs." Sarutobi Hiruzen snorted: "But promoting spiritual power is also for the sake of Konoha, it is indeed something that should be done."

The power of spiritual energy is obvious to all, and the entire ninja world is doing this. If they don't do it, they will fall behind.

"Although my spiritual power is strong, I can't give up my chakra." Danzo shook his head, took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"This is a rough report of the battle in the Rain Country. Take a look."

"Oh?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took it curiously and examined it carefully. The more he looked, the more frightened he became.

"How could that fellow Beiliuhu have such fighting power and defeat the three Kages alone?!"

"That's right. If it weren't for the fact that Okuru didn't know Tsunade's power of the god of death, I don't think even Tsunade would be able to defeat Okuru!" Danzo sneered, "And the reason why Okuru is so powerful is because he successfully completed the Demon Gera Technique!"
