Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Chapter 48 Critical illness
Being able to go to the battlefield with Ye is the greatest affirmation for Uzumaki Yumi.

Yumi left the tent full of energy and continued to treat the injured in Kirigakure. Terumi Mei pouted and said sarcastically: "You can't become a container even if I'm here~ Huh~"

"Snapped!"

Another slap landed on the plump butt of Terumi Mei. Terumi Mei covered her butt and quickly made way, looking at Ye with a flushed face.

Ye walked past her and returned to his seat, then said with a serious face: "Excuse me, Captain Mei Terumi, is there anything else I can do for you? If not, I have to attend to official business."

"Ahhhh, you are so annoying!"

"Although the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is extremely powerful, Konoha cannot allow the Jinchuriki to appear on the front battlefield alone. There must be other backup plans. Captain Terumi Mei, please grasp more information on the battlefield."

"knew!"

Mei Terumi didn't know whether she was angry or ashamed, she covered her butt and instantly left Ye's tent.

A slight smile appeared on Ye's face, but it quickly disappeared and turned into a serious look again.

The exchange interface is open!
"With my current combat power, I am totally no match for a monster like Jinchūriki who has a huge amount of chakra and extremely strong self-healing ability."

"The limitation of Hyorinmaru is negligible to the Nine-Tails. Although the power of the fully chanted Black Coffin is good, it will definitely not kill Kushina in one second. On the contrary, it may cause her to burst out more tails."

"If I want to win this war, I must have a stronger force."

Ye's gaze fell directly on the system exchange panel, on an object that was relatively close to the front and was flickering with a faint light.

[Zanpakutō Hyōrinmaru (Swastika)]

That’s right, it’s Bankai!
In the power system of the God of Death, Bankai is the second stage of liberation of Zanpakutō after the first stage of liberation of Zanpakutō - Shikai, and is also the final form of Zanpakutō.

Bankai can release and use the power of Zanpakutō more thoroughly and comprehensively. After Bankai, all Shinigami will have a qualitative leap in their spiritual pressure and combat power. Depending on each individual's situation, the combat power in the Bankai state is generally about 5 to 10 times that of the Shikai, and it will also greatly enhance the ability of the Shikai!
If we say that Ye in the initial release state has the combat power of a Kage, and can use the environmental blessing of the 'water element' to defeat some veteran Kage-level powerhouses.

Then, after possessing Bankai, Ye will have combat power comparable to those super-kage-level warriors!

Putting aside other things, if Ye was able to possess Bankai when fighting Jiraiya, he would dare to confront Jiraiya head-on without any regard for magic or not. He would just open the Daiguren Hyoringan and chop directly. He would not be like he is now, making a detour here and pulling there.

Ye really wanted to exchange for Hyorinmaru's Bankai, but unfortunately, he didn't exchange it.

The reason is simple: not enough points!
[Zanpakutō Hyōrinmaru (Swastika)]

Item Level: SS
Item Description: Obtain all the true names of 'Zanpakutō Hyorinmaru' and complete soul synchronization with 'Zanpakutō Hyorinmaru'.

Price: 1 million points. (half price)

The price of Hyorinmaru Bankai is half price, so it only costs 500,000 to exchange, but Ye’s points currently are only 410,000, which is a huge difference.

In this war, both Kirigakure and Konoha suffered heavy losses. Kushina's Tailed Beast Ball directly crushed countless Kirigakure ninjas. Of course, the same was true of her ice escape technique the night before.

The death of a large number of Konoha ninjas brought Ye nearly 200,000 points. In addition, the killing of Jiraiya gave Ye a full 260,000 points.

"What a pity! If I hadn't exchanged for Shunhong, it would have been almost done."

If he didn't exchange for Shunhong, then Ye's points would be 460,000 at this moment, and he would only be 40,000 away from exchanging for Bankai.

But there was nothing Ye could do.

In that case, if he didn't exchange for Shunhong, with the power of Ye, he would never be a match for Jiraiya in Sage Mode.

"That is to say, I just need to continue to accumulate 60,000 points on this battlefield."

Ye thought to himself, this is difficult, but also easy, it depends on Ye's luck. If he can kill a few people who have appeared in the original novel and trigger a few tasks, then Ye can easily collect enough points, but if Ye kills those who have not appeared, then it may be a bit troublesome.

One jonin has 2,000 points, so 60,000 points would require 30 jonin!

"Damn it, why not just open the gift box!"

One gift box is worth one thousand points, and four hundred and ten thousand points means four hundred and ten gift boxes!

I have more than 400 boxes, how can I not ship them?
Ye really wanted to be ruthless and open them all, but then he changed his mind and gave up.

It's not that Ye didn't believe that his luck was bad. After all, he had opened the 90th Ghost Path Black Coffin and the 81st Binding Path Broken Sky, and was nicknamed the Golden Finger. Ye was just worried that the system was playing dirty and secretly changing the drop rate or something.

Gamblers can't get the house, so they still have to be steady...

Resisting the urge to give it a try, Ye took a deep breath, closed the system interface, and started processing files.

……

With the destruction of Jinnan Town, a hole was opened in the Fire Country's Mist Defense Line.

In order to prevent the Hidden Mist from advancing directly, Konoha had no choice but to withdraw its defense line and focus its troops on the Misawa (ze second tone) Bridge.

"Who would have thought that Mizunotsukiyo could control such power? I have never seen such a level of ice escape!"

"The entire Jinnan Town was frozen in an instant. It was just like a natural disaster. It was really terrible..."

"I have only heard of that level of technique in stories and legends. It is said that the first Hokage mastered this level of power. I didn't expect that Mizunoe Tsukiyomi also..."

"What first Hokage? Mizunoe Tsukiyomi is just a young boy from Kirigakure. Is he worthy enough to compete with the first Hokage?!"

"But he killed Jiraiya-sama!"

A chattering sound came from the tent. Shisui, with only one eye left, sat in the corner, saying nothing, silently adjusting his state.

The battle in Jinnan Town sounded a severe wake-up call for him. The difficulty of the Mist Hidden Group was far greater than any enemy he had encountered before, and he had to remain vigilant at all times.

Otherwise, next time he might lose not his right eye, but his entire life.

"Shisui, come out for a moment."

Suddenly, a soft call interrupted Shisui's meditation. Seeing that it was Fugaku calling him, Shisui did not hesitate and followed him.

"What's wrong, Patriarch?"

Looking at Shisui's one eye, Fugaku sighed and said, "You... don't need to participate in the next war, go back to the village."

Shisui frowned, "Why, clan leader? I just lost a Sharingan, and I didn't suffer any serious injuries. Master Jiraiya died in the battle to protect the village. I just lost an eye, why can you retreat? I..."

"It's not about the Sharingan."

Fugaku interrupted Shisui's words and patted his shoulder while Shisui looked at him in confusion.

"Just now, the clan sent me news that your father's current condition is... a bit bad."

"what?!"
