Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Chapter 83: Shadow of Sorrow
Kirigakure Village.

Water Shadow Building.

As the most important and core building in the Hidden Mist Village, the Mizukage Building is the most imposing building in the entire Hidden Mist Village.

However, unlike the prosperous Hokage Building in Konoha, the surrounding areas of the Mizukage Building are all ninja training bases and Anbu training grounds.

The thick and solemn atmosphere was completely different from that of Konoha, and could even be said to be the complete opposite!
Push the door open and enter.

As soon as he entered the door, Ye saw the old figure of the Third Hokage standing by the window, with one hand behind his back, looking at the village shrouded in thick fog. The seemingly thin and old figure looked unusually profound at this moment.

"Yakura reported the situation on the front line to me. If it weren't for you, Kirigakure might have been defeated miserably in this war."

Hearing the noise behind him, the Third Mizukage turned around and looked at Ye, who had an expressionless face and a half-eye mask, and sighed deeply: "Ye, your growth is really beyond my expectations. I am glad that Kirigakure has you."

Ye looked at the Third Mizukage calmly: "Thank you for the compliment, but I think the Third Hokage did not summon me here just to praise me."

"You are still so smart."

The Sandaime walked to the desk, took out an intelligence scroll, and pushed it in front of Ye: "This is the latest situation of the Iwagakure battlefield. A full-scale war has broken out between Iwagakure and Konoha. Both sides have played various cards in order to win on the battlefield."

"I think...if you join the battle now, with your unique and extraordinary ice escape, can you help Kirigakure win the war when both Iwagakure and Konoha are losing?"

"Since Yagura has reported all the battle situations on the front to you, you should know exactly what happened on the front line." Ye sighed and shook his head, "With Kirigakure having suffered such losses, is the war still the only thing on your mind?"

"It is precisely because Kirigakure suffered heavy losses that we need a huge victory to dispel the current gloom of failure!"

The Third Mizukage's words became a little hurried, with a strong excitement in his tone: "Think about it, the most powerful Konoha in the ninja world and the Iwagakure, which is second only to Konoha, were all defeated by Kirigakure. A large amount of territory and resources of the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire were taken by Kirigakure... Expand the territory and dominate the ninja world... That will be the supreme glory and honor of you, Mizunoe Tsukiyomi, and the entire Kirigakure!"

"And as soon as I did this, the whole village was blasted to pieces by the Tailed Beast Ball or the Dust Release?"

Ye sneered: "Well, let's just pretend they don't exist."

"Under my leadership, Kirigakure perfectly defeated Konoha and Iwagakure, and successfully swallowed up the two huge territories of the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire. So I would like to ask the Sandaime, what happened after this?"

"The number of ninjas in our village... no, even if we add up all the civilians, there are only 10,000 people in Kirigakure at the moment. Let alone managing the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth, we can't even manage the large and small islands in the Land of Water."

"Under such circumstances, we will inevitably have to absorb a large number of external personnel to fill our ranks, thereby turning Kirigakure, a village that belongs to everyone, into a combination of parasites and undercover traitors. In another two years, will it evolve into a shabby building that collapses with a thousand holes?"

Ye's eyes revealed his disappointment in the Mizukage without any concealment. It was obvious that this 'Kage' who had survived from the Warring States Period and lived in the same era as Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, had not learned any lessons from history. Apart from war, the only thought left in his rotten mind was how to destroy the Kirigakure faster.

"Sandaime, if you continue to think about destroying the village... then I will have no choice but to take the village away from you and the guy behind you!"

"Wha, what?!"

The Third Mizukage's eyes showed obvious panic and confusion: "What person behind the scenes? What are you talking about? Do you want to rebel? Mizuno Yueye?!"

"Even the 'shadow' that has survived from the Warring States period to this day can only sink under the endless illusions... I really can't think of anyone else in the ninja world who can do this, except for the guy who was expelled from the village by Konoha."

Ye's calm words echoed in the Mizukage's office. The three magatama in his right eye could clearly feel the strange chakra emanating from the Third Mizukage, which was the same power as the Sharingan. Obviously, Ye's previous guess was completely correct.

Before the Fourth Hokage was controlled by Obito, the Third Hokage of Kirigakure was also a captured puppet of the Sharingan, otherwise Kirigakure would not have been able to make such stupid strategic moves in succession during the three wars.

And he is the only one who can do this and will do it.

"Uchiha...Madara."

"..."

The special name made the Third Mizukage's expression stiffen. He wanted to say something, but Ye took off the mask on his right eye.

The scarlet three-magatama Sharingan kept turning.

As vast pupil power poured out, the Third Mizukage's body suddenly stiffened, and then he covered his head in extreme pain.

“Ahhhhh!! How could this happen, ahhhhhh!!”

……

At the same time, in the dim underground cave.

Uchiha Madara, who was guiding Obito in the illusion, suddenly trembled, and then he fell out of the illusion.

Scarlet tears slid down from the corners of his eyes, and Madara's figure was on the verge of falling. Fortunately, Bai Zetsu, who was standing by, was quick-witted and quickly supported Madara's figure.

"What's going on Madara?"

Obito withdrew from the illusion space with some reluctance, frowned as he looked at Madara who looked extremely weak: "Sure enough, your body can no longer support you."

"Don't be ridiculous, it's not because of my body!"

Uchiha Madara took two deep breaths, covering his left eye socket which was stinging and even about to break: "It was my illusion that was forcibly broken by that Mizunoe Tsukiyomi..."

"W-what?" Obito was a little unresponsive.

"It's Shisui's eye!" Madara tried hard to hold back the backlash of the illusion: "Unbelievable pupil power, no, that is definitely not an ordinary three-magatama, White Zetsu, what's going on!"

"Ahhh, I don't know what's going on, Lord Madara. I'll go check on Uchiha Shisui." White Zetsu shouted loudly and quickly retracted his head back into the ground.

"Madara, are you saying that Mizunoe Tsukiyomi used Shisui's eye to break the illusion you set up?"

Uchiha Obito frowned: "But that eye only has three magatama!"

"Have you ever seen three magatama whose pupil power is just as strong as the kaleidoscope in your eyes?"
