Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Chapter 263 The Fourth Ninja World War, I declare war again!
The spiritual power of Shamon under Bankai was greatly enhanced. The terrifying attack even made Luo Sha feel like he was in the vast ocean, and he would be overturned by just a few waves.

However, even though he possessed such terrifying and vast power, after Shamon launched a full-strength attack, he was hit by Obito's fatal blow and was killed directly.

"How, how is it possible..."

Looking at the black spear on his chest, unspeakable feelings welled up in his heart. He wanted to struggle a bit, but the blow containing the power of the Six Paths had caused fatal injuries that could not be repaired at all.

He couldn't even say anything before his whole body shattered into pieces in the wind, like broken sand, scattering and disappearing.

Obito had a blank expression on his face, but the brilliance of the Sage's Eyes beneath the white mask had dimmed a bit.

"Samon-sama in his Bankai state... was defeated..."

Rasa recounted everything that happened in disbelief. He simply could not imagine that such a powerful Samon could be killed by Obito like this.

Spiritual energy surged, and a blue crystal floated in front of him, reporting everything that had happened. Suddenly, Luo Sha woke up with a start.

The opponent's target was not Shamon, but him who was holding Shukaku. Now that Shamon was defeated, wouldn't it be...

Luo Sha subconsciously wanted to retreat, but before he could act, a shadow enveloped him.

"Where are you going, my puppet?"

Irresistible pupil power burst out at this moment. Luo Sha didn't even have a chance to resist before he lost consciousness under the bloodshot eyes.

Obito did not directly put Rasa, which was already in his pocket, into the Kamui Space, but instead set his eyes on the spiritual crystal that was sparkling with blue light.

"Using this technique, we can achieve real-time ultra-long-distance information transmission. It's really convenient, Mizunotsukiyo."

The Sharingan turned, and Obito's palm grabbed the spiritual power crystal. Under the stimulation of chakra, the spiritual power burst out with extremely bright light.

At the same time, Luo Sha, who was controlled by the illusion, spoke slowly in a completely different tone...

Inside Kirigakure Village.

Because of the stimulation of spiritual power, the target chosen by Ten Ting Kuro changed directly from Mizunoe Tsukiyomi alone to all the death gods in the entire ninja world!

At the moment it opened, all the Soul Reincarnation Shinigami in the Hidden Mist raised their heads and frowned.

Even Mizunotsuki Ye, who was in the Mizukage's office, couldn't help but lower her eyes slightly.

The crystal he left for Shamen contained extremely huge spiritual power. Under normal circumstances, when Tian Ting Kong Luo was in actual combat, his target was also him.

Obviously, Obito seemed to have over-stimulated the spiritual power in the crystal, causing all the Shinigami to receive this signal.

“Night…” The female secretary Terumi Mei frowned and put down the scroll in her hand.

Mizuno Yueye shook her head: "Don't worry, he can't cause any trouble."

"Is this voice... the Fourth Kazekage Rasa?"

In a Yakitori house, Kushina, who was drinking wine with Tsunade and telling her son about the interesting things that happened in the village during this period, said in surprise: "Did that guy become a god of death too?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Wasn't he a pure-blooded human when he was in the Rain Country some time ago? He hadn't even come into contact with spiritual power." Tsunade shrugged and drank the wine in the glass. "Besides, given the current attitude of Sunagakure towards Kirigakure, that guy wouldn't dare to speak to Mizuno Tsukiyomi in that tone."

"There are not many people in the entire ninja world who dare to speak to the Yondaime like this at this stage."

At the table next to him, Orochimaru's sinister and hoarse voice slowly sounded. As a former member of the Akatsuki organization, and a member invited by Obito himself, he was very familiar with this tone.

Thinking of that guy's identity, Orochimaru looked at Kushina with a rather strange look, and chuckled twice: "And this person, I think you should know, Kushina."

"You mean..."

Kushina's expression paused, as if she understood something, she closed her mouth silently, and raised the sake in front of her.

Obito's identity information is actually not a mystery. It has long been made public in the Soul Society's Death God files. When Kushina learned the truth about the masked man's identity, she was stunned for a long time.

Even though he later understood why Obito had become like this, no one could accept in a short period of time that a little boy who used to play with him all day had turned into someone who wanted to kill him and destroy the village he once loved and swore to protect in the blink of an eye.

But Kushina had no choice.

Because she knew very well that the cause of all this was her husband.

The Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato!
If Minato Namikaze had not killed Rin, the child Obito might not have become like this.

The teacher she respected most killed her most beloved girl, and then witnessed the death of her good brother... Just thinking about the scene, Kushina herself was about to collapse.

"To be specific, I have come into contact with Mizuno Yueye and you so-called death gods many times, but I have never had the opportunity to talk to you properly about my purpose and my plan."

The people present looked at the silent Kushina, and none of them smartly spoke. Instead, Obito's voice slowly sounded, breaking the eerie silence in the tavern.

"My name is Uchiha Obito, the successor to Uchiha Madara, and my plan... well, the 'Eye of the Moon' plan. A divine plan to make all things merge with me, to become one with heaven and earth!"

"In the Uchiha clan, there is a stone tablet that has been passed down from generation to generation. It is located under the Nanga Shrine. On it are recorded the secrets written by the Six Paths Sage in the past. If you don't have pupil power, you can't read it. According to the order of Sharingan, Mangekyō Sharingan, and Samsara Eye, you can interpret the secrets on it one by one."

Outside the Kirigakure Village, on Jingwu Island.

Sitting upright on the rocks of the island, Uchiha Shisui looked up at the sky. His gaze seemed to have penetrated the distance of space and saw the person who was telling everything with the help of Tiantingkongluo.

"Obi-tou..."

"In the era of the Six Paths Sage, he once saved the world from a certain monster. That monster was terrifying and powerful, far beyond your imagination, and was called the Ten-Tails by the people at that time. Later, the Six Paths Sage sealed the Ten-Tails in his body and made the moon to seal its shell. In his last years, he divided the Ten-Tails' chakra into nine parts, which are the nine tailed beasts you are familiar with now." "What Mizuno Tsukiyomi said was not wrong. The purpose of the Akatsuki organization is to collect the tailed beasts, because we want to reproduce the power of the Ten-Tails in the past. We must use his power to complete the organization's plan and achieve my goal."

"That is... peace!"

"Are you kidding, Peace?"

In the Soul Society, many Shinigami laughed out of anger after hearing this.

First he controlled the Third Mizukage, then he controlled the Fourth Kazekage, and even gathered an evil Akatsuki organization composed entirely of traitorous ninjas.

You told me that everything you did was for peace?
What a joke!
What Uchiha Obito did was simply the most horrific war criminal in the decades since the ninja world entered the ninja village era!

"Perhaps many people sneer at me, thinking that everything I do is just for my own selfish reasons... No, you are wrong!"

"This world has long been riddled with holes. Ninjas have brought nothing good to the world except hatred and destruction. The so-called peace is just an illusion. Only by using the power of the Ten-Tails to reshape the world can we give this world a new life, that is, to create a truly peaceful world, the world of the 'Eye of the Moon'."

"The so-called 'Eye of the Moon' uses the immense power of the Ten-Tails and the Sharingan of our Uchiha clan to cast an illusion on the moon in the sky. Then the whole world will fall into a dream world... a world of eternal beauty and peace, a... perfect world!"

"What a joke! Can the world of illusion be considered peaceful?!"

In the tavern, Tsunade's fist slammed heavily on the table, smashing up many bowls and utensils on the table.

"Obito..." Kushina opened her mouth: "He wasn't like this before..."

"I know you are blaming yourself, Kushina, but illusory peace is meaningless. Only peace that can be achieved in reality is what we pursue!" Tsunade said loudly, "And that guy is no longer the Uchiha Obito you know. He is now Uchiha Madara, the Uchiha Madara who is determined to conquer the world!"

"Whether it's you or the Fourth Hokage, you are not wrong, and you don't owe Obito anything. Even if you think Minato killed Rin and it was because of Minato that Obito became like this, don't forget the pain that guy brought to Konoha and your family!"

"I know……"

Uzumaki Kushina sighed softly. How could she not understand? How could she not figure it out?

"Of course, I know very well that you will not let me do this. As a shadow, as the ruler of a great country, as you who stand at the top of this world and enjoy the dividends of this world, you will naturally not let me do all this."

"So...are you ready to face the war?"

Under the ruins of the Gold Sand Fortress, the white-masked Uchiha Obito grabbed Rasa, his tone firm and cold.

"Mizunozukiyo, I hereby declare war on you, on all the gods of death, on all the rulers of the great powers, and on this old world ruled by people who are sad, corrupt, and tainted by the lust for power!"

"The Fourth Ninja World War begins today!"

"The Fourth Shinobi World War..." In the Mizukage's office, Mei Terumi had a very strange look on her face. The name of Mizunoe Tsukiyomi the Soul Reaper had long spread throughout the entire Shinobi world. She was able to grow infinitely by devouring souls. Just relying on the Third Shinobi World War and the war against Konoha, Mizunoe Tsukiyomi grew from an ordinary nameless jonin Anbu to this level.

This terrifying ability makes the entire ninja world avoid Mizunoe Tsukiyomi's attitude.

Are you actually going to declare war on Mizunoe Tsukiyomi now?
"You can't underestimate the enemy like this, Ming."

"Contempt? I actually always thought that guy was suffering from night phobia."

"Noctopus?" Mizuno Yueye was stunned, then the smile on his face could not be suppressed. He coughed lightly and said seriously: "Okay, that guy is not just talking nonsense. He was able to defeat Shamon and take away Rasa and Shukaku. His current strength is at least at the captain level."

"Plus, Shenwei is elusive. If he really wants to fight a guerrilla war with us, it will really cause us huge trouble."

"What are you going to do?" Mei Terumi asked curiously.

"His target is the tailed beasts, and the five tailed beasts, including the three-tailed, four-tailed, five-tailed, six-tailed, and seven-tailed, are all in our hands." Mizunoe said calmly: "Set up the black cavity and wait for the fish to take the bait."

It has been two or three years since the last time he killed the tailed beasts to earn points. After detecting the chakra fluctuations of Indra and Ashura on Naruto and Sasuke, Ye did not continue to attack the tailed beasts, but instead held them in his hands.

The tailed beasts are the split forms of the Ten Tails. They are the absolute core of this world's chakra and the most valuable bargaining chip.

Holding this kind of bargaining chip is quite valuable whether it is against Obito, the Six Paths Sage, or other Otsutsuki.

"However, since the other party has declared war on us so loudly, we cannot back down. We need to talk to Konoha and Kumogakure and be prepared to respond. If we find something wrong, we can start fighting at any time."

"Also, is there any news from Nagato?"

"Not yet, but he sent us information three days ago that he seems unable to summon the Outer Path Statue anymore." Terumi Mei shook her head. She knew that Nagato had been assigned a special task by Ye. The leader of the Akatsuki organization successfully joined Mizunoe Ye's army after defeating the captain of the second division, Uchiha Shisui.

Although Nagato did not bring Akatsuki directly to the Hidden Mist, but claimed that his organization was meaningful and wanted to be an absolutely neutral organization that hunted evil, Ye still gave Nagato a task.

That is to find Cixian!
Yes.

Compared to Obito's petty quarrels, what Ye really cares about has always been Jigen and the Six Paths Sage in the Pure Land of the Underworld!

Especially Cixian.

This guy's strength is immeasurable. If he really found the right weapon decades in advance to restore his complete form, then that would be the guy Ye really wants to deal with!

Since the other party took the initiative to find Nagato, it means that Nagato has a certain value to Jigen.

After all, Nagato's physique coupled with a pair of Samsara eyes can be said to be the 'Small Six Paths'. Even if this physique cannot become a 'vessel', it can accommodate a lot of his chakra to a certain extent.

Therefore, Ye simply let Nagato go, trying to lure Jigen into the trap again, but Jigen seemed to have seen through Ye's thoughts and kept no contact with Nagato, as if he had completely given up on Nagato...
