Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Chapter 337 Everything is for the future of the ninja world!
"Spiritual power, I didn't expect the ninja world to become like this."

"It's really scary that people can continue to survive after they die."

"Hahahaha, that's great. I knew my life isn't over yet. I must become the God of Death!"

On an island outside the Hidden Mist Village, soul figures continued to gather here, discussing noisily.

Their bodies are ethereal and they are just souls, but one can still tell from their clothes that they are from different eras.

Some were dressed in battle uniforms of the Warring States period, some in samurai armor, and some in traditional clothing of wealthy families.

Without exception, these guys are all famous figures in the history of the ninja world, and today, countless years later, after the Yellow Spring Pure Land was shattered, their consciousness was re-stimulated.

After regaining consciousness, they wandered around the Ninja World in a daze. Finally, under the guidance of a mysterious being, they came here and learned about the existence of the 'God of Death'.

It also opened up their second life!

"I don't care what you were like in life, but if you want to become a god of death, you need to go through three steps."

Looking at the extremely noisy crowd in front of him, Ringo Yuyuri said solemnly: "Stimulate spiritual power, determine the spiritual pressure level, and assign admissions! After graduation, you can freely decide whether to join the 13th Gotei Squad or act freely."

Testing qualifications and allocating admissions.

Such words sounded like a joke to everyone present.

When they were alive, they were all powerful and influential people, but now they have to go to school and take exams again, which is simply a reversal of fate for them.

However, all the souls present had no objection at all. On the contrary, they were all extremely excited at the moment, waiting for the results of their spiritual power tests with great anticipation.

"I never thought that I would return to the ninja world in this way."

In the corners of countless souls, several figures gathered together.

The leader wore an iron Konoha forehead guard and red layered armor, with a complicated expression: "A dead person like me really shouldn't interfere in the affairs of the world anymore, let alone the resurrection of the dead..."

"You are still the same, the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama."

A sudden voice interrupted Senju Hashirama's words, and a white-haired figure walked over.

He has long hair and beard, his left eye is blind and has a long scar, but his old face is enough to make any Kirigakure ninja pay him the highest respect!

The person who came was the first Mizukage, Byakuren!

"It's not that we are interfering in the world now, but the world needs our strength, Senju Hashirama."

Bai Lian said in a deep voice: "The Fourth Hokage has already told you about the current situation. If we have to deal with enemies of that level in the future, the current ninja world will not have much chance of winning."

"I don't know what you're thinking, but I absolutely cannot sit idly by and watch the village I built be destroyed by those guys!"

"Bai Lian..."

Senju Hashirama frowned deeply, not knowing how to respond to Bai Lian for a moment.

Based on his style of doing things, since he is dead, the next things will be left to his future descendants. If these dead people arbitrarily interfere with reality, it will undoubtedly be a wrong behavior.

But the problem is that the existence of the Otsutsuki is like a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the ninja world.

If an Otsutsuki comes, it will definitely be a devastating disaster for the ninja world and Konoha. By then, how can there be any so-called descendants and future?

"Brother, Bai Lian is right. We must return to this world again!"

The white-haired Senju Tobirama had a cold expression and said in an unquestionable tone: "I have checked the situation of Konoha in the past few decades. If I don't give correct guidance, even if there is no threat from the Otsutsuki, the future of Konoha will not be optimistic!"

"What!?"

Senju Hashirama looked at Senju Tobirama in astonishment: "The situation in Konoha... has it reached this point? Last time, Konoha didn't..."

"Huruzen and Danzo did some things in succession." Senju Tobirama sighed and whispered: "Under their control, Konoha has gone astray. If it weren't for Mizunoe Tsukiyomi, I'm afraid Konoha would not exist in the ninja world at this moment."

"What? Tobirama, is this true!?" Senju Hashirama turned around abruptly and looked at Senju Tobirama: "Konoha... is actually in danger of overturning?!"

"I didn't know people well, big brother." Senju Tobirama sighed heavily. He had given the position of Hokage to Sarutobi Hiruzen at the beginning, but now Sarutobi Hiruzen almost became the executioner who destroyed Konoha.

And Danzo...

"Moreover, according to the latest situation, the people in the village intend to let Tsunade return to serve as the seventh generation." Senju Tobirama suddenly whispered: "You should understand Tsunade's personality."

Senju Hashirama's expression suddenly froze, and after a long time, he sighed deeply.

"I understand. If this is for the sake of the village and the future, I am willing to accept the transformation into a Death God!"

Hearing this, Senju Tobirama finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, Konoha, which has him and Hashirama Senju again, will return to the T0 level. If it can find one or two outstanding young talents, Konoha will surely develop better in the future. Even if it cannot be compared with Kirigakure, it will definitely be above the other three major ninja villages.

"It's a wise choice, but I think that with your strength, perhaps taking the initiative to find the Yondaime is the best option."

Hashirama Senju, the man who was once hailed as the God of Ninja, it is hard to say what kind of power his soul contains and how much power he will gain once he transforms into the God of Death.

After all, Ringo Ayuri was only assisting in activating the spiritual pressure and assessing its level. All of this was really nothing compared to the soul master Mizuno Tsukiyomi doing it himself.

"Well then, Shodaime Mizukage, I'm afraid I'll have to leave this matter to you."

"Being able to witness the God of Ninja becoming the God of Death, isn't this a special achievement?" The first Mizukage Byakuren left quietly, and not long after, a figure wearing the Mizukage's divine robe appeared with White Zetsu.

One pair of eyes after another was cast on Mizunoe Yue. The seniors present all wanted to see what the strongest person in the ninja world looked like.

Many people even took the initiative to speak to Mizunoe Yue and asked about all kinds of spiritual power.

Mizuno Tsukiyo did not put on airs, but explained in detail the characteristics of spiritual power, as well as the situation before and after becoming a god of death. In just a short while, the strongest existence in the ninja world gained a large number of loyal fans.

Until he set his eyes on Hashirama Senju.

"This is our first real meeting, First Hokage, Senju Hashirama."

"Mizuno Yueye?" Senju Hashirama whispered, "I heard some things, including from Madara and Konoha's... Fourth Mizukage, I have a question for you."

"But it doesn't matter."

"What do you think true peace is?"

"Oh?"

Ye was slightly stunned and turned to look at Senju Hashirama, seeming a little surprised that such words would come out of his mouth.

"I have always believed that true peace exists, and I have been doing my best to seek true peace. I even founded Konoha with Madara."

"To be honest, I am really happy. Seeing the people in the village laughing, seeing the tribesmen settled, seeing the peace in my dreams coming, and seeing everyone happy, I feel extremely satisfied. So I also secretly made up my mind that no matter if it is my friends, brothers, or even my children, as long as they dare to be enemies of the village, I will never let them go!"

"I want everyone and Konoha to continue living in happiness and harmony like this."

"But now... the village has been established, but the struggle is still going on. There's the Hokage election in the village, the Ninja World War outside the village, until now..." Senju Hashirama slowly raised his hand, as if he wanted to grab something, and it turned out that a leaf fluttered in the wind and fell into his hand.

Looking at the gap in the leaves, Hashirama Senju looked at Mizunoe in front of him and said, "Fourth Mizukage, you have had many encounters with Uchiha Madara, right? Although we don't know where he is now, I want to ask... am I wrong?"

"...Self-reflection of the Ninja God?"

On the contrary, facing the heavy words of Hashirama Senju, Mizunoe Yue seemed quite relaxed and even made a joke out of the blue.

He looked at Hashirama Senju in front of him, then looked at the other souls, and finally shook his head: "Your idea is good, but the limitations of the times and the limitations of cognition make everything you do become extremely ridiculous."

"You are indeed wrong, Senju Hashirama."

Hashirama's body suddenly trembled and he almost fell down. Senju Tobirama, who was standing beside him, widened his eyes and looked at Ye with displeasure.

But Ye didn't care.

"Your idea is very good. You can use the power of checks and balances to limit wars and maintain peace while ensuring that there is no bloodshed to the greatest extent possible... But I want to ask you, is this really possible?"

"The material resources of this world are limited, but people's desires are unlimited. Uneven distribution of materials will eventually become the fuse of war. This is an unavoidable flaw of human beings."

"It is true that you can use your invincible power to intimidate the world, so that before your death, the world will do its utmost to restrain itself and maintain the ninja world, thus allowing the ninja world to enter peace. But once your restraining power is gone, what will become of the ninja world?"

"It is better to ease than to block. If you want peace to come, the worst way is to suppress the war. Senju Hashirama, you are really wrong."

Mizunoe talked eloquently, making everyone present look a little dazed, and the first-generation shadow like Byakuren was even more excited.

This is Hashirama Senju, the god of ninja who dominated an entire era! Now he was criticized for his mistakes in front of Mizunoe Tsukiyomi. This kind of thing is like a miracle to them!
But on second thought, they felt it was quite reasonable.

It is true that Hashirama Senju is the God of Ninja, but now Mizunotsuki Yoru is a being that can rival the Six Paths Sage!
"Is that so..."

Senju Hashirama's figure was swaying slightly. His innocent and beautiful fantasies were ruthlessly stripped away by Mizunoe's words at this moment, revealing an empty and poor core. If you think about it carefully, his ideas are not even as good as Uchiha Madara's.

If the ninja world had not followed his ideas at the beginning, but followed Madara's, would it have taken a completely different path?

Senju Hashirama didn't know.

"No need to show such an attitude, Senju Hashirama."

Mizuno Yue said calmly: "In my opinion, although you were wrong, you actually did not do anything wrong in your time. Your policies brought decades of stability to Konoha and the entire ninja world. The peace of mutual checks and balances and mutual restraint was indeed a desirable approach at the time."

"Because every era has its own unique characteristics, just like me now, I don't know how future generations will evaluate me thousands of years later, because I don't know where I will be by then. Instead of thinking about these illusory things, it is better to do everything in front of me well."

"Do everything well..." Senju Hashirama took a deep breath and nodded heavily to Mizunoe: "I understand. You are worthy of being the Mizukage who is comparable to the Six Paths Sage."

"I hope to become the god of death and contribute my own strength to the maximum extent before those so-called Otsutsuki come. In the meantime, I am willing to follow your command, Mr. Mizukage!"

"Don't be so serious. Instead of following my orders, what you should do now is to have a good chat with your granddaughter after completing the Death Myth." Mizunoe said softly, "How do you think about a Hokage conversation between a grandfather and a granddaughter?"

"Thank you."

"You are Welcome."

One after another, souls began to undergo spiritual power tests, including the shadows of their ancestors.

Undoubtedly, as the geniuses of the ninja world, they all detected high spiritual power strength, and each of the Kage-level strongmen possessed the powerful spiritual pressure to become a captain.

The spiritual pressure unleashed by Hashirama Senju was unrivaled among all the heroes, and it was extremely powerful. Although it was just a first test, it was comparable to the captain's Bankai.

This is the charm of the God of Ninja!
One by one, the powerful souls of the old times completed the stimulation of their spiritual power. Without exception, everyone present chose the spiritual power knowledge class and began to formally go to school.

As for whether they will join the Gotei 13 in the future...does it matter?
The real key is that Mizunoe Yue's power will begin to increase dramatically from this moment!
The feedback of spiritual power will make Mizunoe Yue, who has already reached the top of the dome, become even more powerful until he breaks through to the true peak!
