Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Chapter 278: Betrayal of the Moonless Alliance!
Obito knew very well how much preparation was needed to complete the Kisara Technique.

Even though Sarutobi Hiruzen, with his many years as the Third Hokage, had accumulated enough resources and a deep foundation, and had accumulated enough chakra, he could perform the ceremony.

But what is needed to survive this ceremony is his own body, mind and character!

How could a corrupt and aged Hokage, after losing the struggle for power, still have the capacity and ambition to complete the ceremony?
In addition, he has now collected so many corpses and created powerful clones... Has Sarutobi Hiruzen emerged from his depression and rebirth? !

But even so, Konoha probably doesn't have a cloning master who can master this level of technology.

Obito, who treats Konoha as his own backyard and has carried out in-depth cooperation with Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, is very clear about the current technological situation of Konoha and the progress of research on the human body.

During the Third World War, Konoha's research on the human body was indeed the best in the ninja world, but with the defection of Orochimaru, human experiments in the entire Konoha were completely banned by the Fourth Hokage. Although a small part of it was restored after Fugaku came to power, this level of recovery would not allow Konoha to have such mature cloning methods today.

who is it?

Obito stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen with sharp eyes, but Sarutobi Hiruzen obviously had no intention of telling Obito these things.

"If you want to explore these meaningless things, I think you can leave." Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly, with a calm expression, as if he was not afraid of Obito in front of him at all: "Now you are the culprit who started this war. Once the captains of the ninja coalition or Mizunoe Tsukiyomi discover your whereabouts... I think you will be in trouble."

"Do you think your actions won't be targeted by Mizunoe Tsukiyomi and the ninja coalition?"

Obito sneered: "To us humans, insulting a corpse is far more serious than devouring a soul. After all, souls are invisible and intangible to ordinary people, but corpses are different."

"We are on the same rope, Sarutobi Hiruzen."

The White Zetsu army is nothing but cannon fodder, and the ninjas from the two villages of Sunagakure and Iwagakure are a bunch of trash.

This war will be over soon, and Obito's available strength will be completely depleted. At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen actually appeared on the battlefield with his clones. How could Obito not be excited?

You must know that the technique of Impure World Reincarnation can be suppressed by the God of Death and those who use spiritual power.

But cloning is different.

In a sense, a clone is a living human being!
But in the face of Obito's initiative to show goodwill, Sarutobi Hiruzen remained indifferent. He was about to refuse, but seemed to notice something and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"You want to cooperate with me?"

"Your enemy and mine are the same, not to mention that we are allies." Obito smiled under his white mask. This war has continued until now, and Sarutobi Hiruzen must have accumulated a large number of corpses of bloodline limiters in his hands.

If he could utilize this power, the pressure he faced when facing Mizunotsuki Ye would be greatly reduced!
At least, we will have enough power to resist those Death Gods and Quincies.

Originally, Obito didn't take those Shinigami and Quincy seriously at all. Even though Kimimaro had done something almost beyond belief, after completing the ritual and achieving the Six Paths, Obito had already forgotten about Kimimaro.

What kind of Death God Quincy? The only one who can fight with me is Mizunotsuki Ye!
However, the battle with Shisui directly shattered Obito's pride and confidence, and made him realize the threat of these guys.

He needs help, a strong enough helper.

But in today's ninja world, who can be his helper and fight against the powerful Mizunotsuki Yo who is almost like the overlord of the ninja world?
The ninja world is indeed gone, but outside the ninja world, there is such a force hidden.

They are the people from outer space, the younger brother of the former Six Paths Sage, and the descendants of Otsutsuki Hamura left on the moon!
Yes, in Obito's original target, his helper was none other than the man from the moon who had been an enemy of Mizunoe Tsukiyomi according to the intelligence.

After absorbing the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails, Obito set his sights on the man on the moon, but unexpectedly he got information about White Zetsu, who turned out to be Sarutobi Hiruzen who had also completed the Kidome ritual!
It seemed that he had a few more allies to choose from.

"The fact that you were able to complete the Kigera no Jutsu has proven that my vision was correct. But relying solely on your strength, it is impossible to shake Mizunotsukiyo." Obito looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and took the initiative to pull the two of them to the same front: "Of course, relying solely on my own strength, I am not that guy's opponent."

"Only by uniting and gathering all our strength can we create the dawn of resistance in this world shrouded by the shadow of that guy's soul."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's brows trembled slightly, and he followed the instructions of the voice in his heart and said calmly: "...What do you want to do?"

"Gather all the forces that can fight." Obito said in a deep voice: "As you can see, the war I started can't cause much trouble at all. The only value may be that it allows me to get a glimpse of how powerful the power in Mizunoe Tsukiyomi's hands is to a certain extent."

"Therefore, I need to find allies who are strong enough to also resist Mizunoe Tsukiyomi's hegemony."

"Don't worry, I can help you cover up your attempt to steal the corpses, and even help you find the corpses you need. All you need to do is to accumulate enough troops and contribute some of your strength in the final showdown between me and Mizuno Yueye."

"……Can."

This kind of promise costs nothing, so Sarutobi Hiruzen has no reason not to agree.

After getting the approval of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Obito also showed a satisfied look.

In his opinion, Sarutobi Hiruzen and he were completely on the same page. Under the high pressure of Mizunoe Tsukiyomi, it was obvious that Sarutobi Hiruzen had no choice but to cooperate with him.

After reaching a verbal cooperation agreement, the two did not cooperate further, and Obito did not pursue the source of Sarutobi Hiruzen's cloning technology.

Although the two parties reached a cooperation on the surface, it was only preliminary cooperation and they both obviously had reservations.

Obito only left behind a White Zetsu clone to help the other party find the Bloodline Limiter, and then left. Sarutobi Hiruzen did not care about Uchiha Obito's whereabouts, and continued to search for the Bloodline Limiter's artificial body.

It's true, with the help of White Zetsu, Sarutobi Hiruzen's searching efficiency was greatly improved, and he completed several days' worth of work in just one day!
After all the corpses in the entire area were collected, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not give White Zetsu a chance to gather intelligence and simply disappeared on the spot. This made White Zetsu, who had worked hard all day, feel helpless.

Subconsciously, he wanted to say hello to the clone of his former colleague, but the other party's puppet-like machine reaction made Bai Zetsu even more bored...

"He needs an army of clones to help him share the pressure of the Shinigami and the Quincy."

In Konoha Village, in the Root's dimensional base, Jigen leaned lightly on his own throne, taking a sip from a glass of red wine: "And the reason why I asked you to agree to him is naturally because he has what I want." "Huh?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little confused.

"Body."

Jigen didn't try to hide anything, and said calmly, "His ritual was more successful than yours and Danzo's. He truly broke through the boundaries and entered the Six Paths level. And such a body is already qualified to become my vessel."

"Entered the level of the Six Paths..." Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but open his eyes wide, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes: "Could that guy have reached the level of the Six Paths Sage in the past?!"

"It has barely touched that realm."

Jigen's tone was calm, but he was quite surprised that Obito could break through to the Six Paths Realm, because in his estimation, even if the sacrifice for Obito's Kiyomizu ritual was chosen well enough, it would at most be slightly stronger than Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo at present.

But he didn't expect that Obito would give him such a surprise.

The Six Paths Realm meant that Obito was no longer an "inferior creature" restricted by flesh and blood and lifespan. If a wedge could be carved into Obito's body, then even if he could not recover to his full strength, his strength would certainly be restored to 80% or 90%.

"grown ups."

Sarutobi Hiruzen hesitated to speak, but couldn't help but say: "If it were me and Danzo, how could we break through to the Six Paths?"

The huge boost brought by the Kiyomasa ritual has elevated Sarutobi Hiruzen to his current 'super shadow' level, but as for how to go further, Sarutobi Hiruzen has no idea.

But his inner desire for a higher level made Sarutobi Hiruzen place all his hopes on Jigen.

"It's very simple," Jigen drank the wine in the cup. "The so-called breakthrough of the Six Paths Realm is ultimately the process of you humans breaking through your limits and becoming the 'Otsutsuki' like us. Therefore, you only need to receive the blessing of a pure-blooded Otsutsuki, and you will naturally be able to break through."

"Unfortunately, I am now living in this fragile body and cannot do this for the time being. If I could get a new device and be reborn, or have a chakra fruit, then all of this would not be a problem."

Ultimately, we still have to wait for Cixian's rebirth.

Sarutobi Hiruzen silently handed the corpse scrolls of the bloodline limit that he had collected during this period to Jigen.

Cixian took it, casually opened the dark space cavity, and threw all the dozens of corpses in the scroll into the cavity.

"But this matter cannot be rushed in a short time. Too many people are watching that guy. I can only take action when the water is muddy enough."

An inexplicable roar vibrated from the cavity, and Sarutobi Hiruzen could vaguely see the branches and roots dancing, bringing with them waves of bloody aura: "Also, Danzo has regained control of Konoha, if you are interested you can go back and take a look."

"Danzo... you're really anxious."

……

"My clone has no way of understanding the news from his side."

While Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jigen were talking about Obito, Kenji was also asking about the situation on White Zetsu's side, but naturally, he got nothing.

Obito was not upset. The appearance of Sarutobi Hiruzen was an unexpected surprise, and placing a clone of White Zetsu was a cost-free thing.

"Don't worry about that. Has the space node where the Moon Otsutsuki descended into the Ninja World been locked?"

"It has been locked, but are you really going to the moon?" Black Zetsu, who had been silent all this time, slowly said, "Everything on the moon is almost unknown to us. As the descendants of Otsutsuki Hamura, they claim to be the people on the moon who overlook the ninja world, so they must have extremely terrifying power and means."

"Don't you have confidence in me?"

The descendant of Otsutsuki Hamura, the man of heaven, the descendant of the gods, the Samsara Eye...

To Obito in the past, these things were like myths and legends. Even though he claimed to be the descendant of Uchiha Madara, he could only look up to them.

But now, he has completed his transformation and has entered the Six Paths Realm, and he already has a new perspective.

"We are all descendants of immortals, and I have already reached the realm that my ancestors once reached, but what about them?" Obito sneered, his face full of confidence: "They only came into contact with Mizunotsuki once, and continued to lie dormant after the failure. How could I be timid in the face of a guy of this level!"

"Besides, there isn't much power we can use in the current ninja world. The moon is high in the sky. Before Mizuno Tsukiyomi completely controls the ninja world and reaches out to the sky, we must get ahead of her anyway."

"Whether it's to seize the treasures left by Hamura's ancestors first, or to join forces with them and let them fight against Hou Mizunozukiyo, these are the prerequisites for me to set foot on the moon."

“…That’s correct.”

Black Zetsu was a little hesitant.

The idea of ​​going to the moon was not proposed by him, but was a flash of inspiration for Obito.

To be honest, if the current situation was not extremely urgent, Black Zetsu would not be willing to let Obito go to the moon. After all, that was the place where his mother was sealed. The more people's attention it attracted, the greater the impact and accidents it would bring.

What impact would it have if Mizunotsuki noticed his mother?

Hei Zetsu didn't know, but he had no better choice now, so he might as well think about the bright side.

What if Obito's actions on the moon caused the seal on his mother to loosen or break prematurely?

If the mother's seal was lifted, with the power possessed by the Goddess of the Rabbit, even without the Ten Tails, she could still defeat everything with her unparalleled strength!
Of course, Black Zetsu himself knew in his heart that this was just wishful thinking. If the seal of that rebellious son Yui was so easy to break, his mother would not have been sealed for so long...
