Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Chapter 93: Danzo: Hiruzen! I understand everything you carry!

Looking at the rapidly dissipating soul power, Ye was not too disappointed.

Creating something from nothing requires countless experiments to try and verify, and it is obviously impossible to achieve it overnight.

And this time, it wasn’t all in vain!
"Using spiritual power can indeed stimulate the self-power contained in the soul, but this approach will greatly harm the soul and destroy the soul itself."

"What if we use other forces to stimulate it?"

Chakra and natural forces can restrict the soul. This can be seen from the spirit transformation technique and the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and even the "Spirit Summoning Technique" mastered and created by Yumi.

However, chakra and natural energy cannot stimulate the self-power. So what other energy can do this?

"Perhaps, we can try using our mental strength..."

Mental power and self-power are actually the same thing. Using the same type of energy may produce better results.

"Yumi, summon another soul!"

"Yes, Lord Ye."

Yumei did not hesitate. She took out a piece of flesh and blood from a container beside her and quickly formed seals with her hands.

This spell required a large number of seals, and they were extremely complicated. As the seals were completed, dense spell patterns suddenly appeared on the surface of the mass of flesh and blood.

The next moment, a ray of soul light burst out from the mass of flesh and blood, and soon, a soul sphere emerged out of thin air and floated in front of Ye.

This is the 'Spirit Summoning Technique' that Yumi has mastered. It is a ninjutsu that Yumi created based on the records of the former Uzumaki clan and the souls and chakras in the Hidden Mist Village.

The principle is to use a 'medium' to call upon the souls of the living, which is similar to the Impure World Reincarnation.

However, the souls summoned by this technique can only stay for a short time. Once the caster's chakra is exhausted, or the medium is consumed, their souls will be sent back to the underworld.

and.

The soul summoned by the necromancy technique is already "dead" and is just a ball of "soul energy", so this technique is quite useless, but it is very suitable for experiments.

Yumi used chakra to maintain the restriction on this group of souls, while Ye took off the mask on his right eye, revealing three scarlet magatama.

Pupil power is released, consciousness is concentrated, and mental power bursts out!
Everyone has spiritual power, and the strength of each person is different. Ye's spiritual power is pretty good, but this power is invisible and intangible, and under normal circumstances it cannot be actively activated and released.

With the help of the Sharingan, Ye can better control this power and release it.

Three magatama rotated in Ye's eye sockets, and an invisible force fell on that soul.

Soon, the surface of that soul began to fluctuate violently!
"It really works!"

Seeing this scene, Yumei's little face immediately showed joy.

The soul power continued to vibrate, and soon it transformed into a ninja wearing the uniform of the Kirigakure Anbu.

The confused eyes slowly opened, but soon, the confusion in the eyes of this Anbu turned into anger.

"You bastard, you actually sold information, you bastard!"

"Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost, as the captain of the Anbu and the leader of the intelligence team, you actually took the initiative to leak information, you deserve to die!"

"I will report all this to the Sandaime...I..."

The soul of the Kirigakure Anbu continued to curse inexplicably, but his human form became more and more solid.

After a while, Ye withdrew his mental power, but the soul still maintained its human form until Yumei took the initiative to disperse his chakra, and then his soul disappeared again and returned to the pure land of Huangquan.

"Master Ye, just now..."

"I used my mental power to stimulate his soul, successfully channeled the power of my self out of it, and used illusion, so he was talking nonsense there."

Ye spoke in a deep voice, and Yumei said excitedly: "I see, that means it is possible to use mental power to stimulate self-power?"

"Yes, not only that, if you can use strong obsession and emotion to constantly stimulate the soul body, it can also make its self-solidification even higher."

"Strong obsession and emotion? I understand!"

"You can summon the soul, stimulate it with illusion, and then conduct soul experiments on it to completely condense and fix its self-power... Well, Namikaze Minato is here, forget it, just find a water clone to deal with him, let's continue."

"However, this process will probably be extremely painful for the soul body, and we can't keep torturing the souls of the village's elite ninjas like this..."

As the incoming fourth generation, Ye, who was conducting soul experiments, cared for the deceased in the village: "Let's use the prisoners and prisoners of war in the prison first. We can even observe and compare the souls of people who died with strong obsessions and emotions, and the souls that were pulled from the netherworld and re-energized. The difference between the two."

"Yes, Lord Ye!"

……

"Sir, Mizunoe Tsukiye has accepted the armistice agreement. As for the specific amount of war compensation, he said he does not want to waste too much time and asked us to let Shadow negotiate directly!"

Inside the Hokage Building.

Minato Namikaze, who had returned, spoke in a deep voice, describing the latest developments.

"Mizuno Tsukiyo requires both parties to hold a 'Shadow Conference' in the Iron Country. At the same time, in order to ensure the normal progress of the meeting and avoid unnecessary trouble, in addition to the shadow who must be present, both parties can only bring one guard at most. The time is set for three days later..."

"The location is set in the Iron Country."

Sarutobi Hiruzen murmured, his expression somewhat complicated.

The Land of Iron is one of the few neutral countries in the ninja world, so there is nothing wrong with choosing this location.

However, this location, coupled with the fact that there was only one guard, and the special name of "Shadow Conference", inevitably reminded Sarutobi Hiruzen of some memories.

Decades ago, after the initial establishment of the Five Great Nations, in order to discuss the distribution of the tailed beasts, the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, once invited the first four Kage of each country to participate in the unprecedented 'First Five Kage Conference' in the history of the Ninja World!
At that time, the meeting was held in the Iron Kingdom, and all shadows could only bring one guard, and the name of the meeting was also called the "Shadow Conference"!
"This kid... is he calling himself the Shodaime?!"

Danzo also saw the subtext in Mizunoe Tsukiyomi's request, and his expression was quite gloomy.

"Maybe, but I have to say that this is indeed a good suggestion. In the Iron Country, it can indeed avoid a lot of trouble."

"As for the selection of my guards..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head without dwelling on it too much. His eyes moved around and finally landed on Namikaze Minato.

"Minato, I may have to trouble you for this escort trip."

"I will protect the Third Hokage at my death." Namikaze Minato was stunned at first, then nodded vigorously and said in a loud voice.

Although this was a humiliating meeting about surrender and payment of reparations, it was also a conversation between shadows.

Escorting the Third Hokage to the Kage Conference, for the ninjas of Konoha, this was something they had to do at the cost of their lives!
"Minato is indeed a good choice."

Konoha is really short of people now, and Namikaze Minato, who has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, can also protect Sarutobi Hiruzen's life well. If Mizuno Tsukiyo really has bad intentions, Minato can also take Hiruzen to retreat in time. Danzo nodded, without thinking too much, but seemed to notice something, and said in a deep voice: "Huruzen, the two days you were away from the village..."

"I'll have to leave the village to you for the next two days, Danzo."

"Wha, what?!"

Danzo's tiger body shook, and his one eye burst out with an incomparably bright light.

As expected, his old partner did not give up on him. All the talk about taking away control of his roots was fake. The relationship between the two of them was indeed the best in the world!
"Don't worry, I will never let any accidents happen to the village!"

Danzo couldn't hide his excitement and made a solemn promise.

Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and patted his old friend on the shoulder: "I feel relieved to have you around."

There is some distance between Konoha and the Land of Iron, and Minato has never left the Flying Thunder God Mark there, and Mizunoe Tsukiyo has only set a time limit of three days.

Therefore, on that day, the Sandaime set out with Minato Namikaze and left the village.

After watching his old friend and Namikaze Minato leave, Danzo Shimura instantly returned to the Hokage building, and after dismissing everyone, he walked step by step towards the seemingly ordinary Hokage's desk.

then……

Take a seat!

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

Feeling the feedback from the seat under him and looking at the thick documents on both sides of the table, a hearty laugh came out of his mouth. At this moment, there were even some tears in the corners of Shimura Danzo's eyes!
"Is this the position of the Hokage..."

Danzo Shimura couldn't describe what he felt at the moment; he felt like his whole body was trembling.

Fortunately, he had driven away the Anbu around him, otherwise if they had seen him like this, the image of Shinobi An that he had accumulated for a long time would probably have collapsed directly.

After a long time, Shimura Danzo calmed down his excited emotions, opened the document in front of him, and began to look through it.

Just one glance and Danzo's brows were deeply furrowed.

One, two.

Half an hour later, Danzo Shimura slowly stood up from the seat of Hokage, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked out the window.

Well, this is what Konoha Village looks like from this perspective. This feeling is really cool...

However, this messy thought only existed for a moment before it was suppressed. Danzo's eyes became extremely solemn, with his brows furrowed.

He didn't expect the battle situation on the front line and the pressure from the daimyo to be so great. No wonder Hiruzen even accepted surrender and compensation to appease Kirigakure as soon as possible.

The Iwagakure, with full firepower, erupted with unimaginable combat power. They were skilled in earth-style ninjutsu, and their combat power on the battlefield was not inferior to that of the Konoha ninja.

Several times the number of ninjas as Konoha!
Explosion Style and Lava Style, two top-level combat bloodlines!
In addition, there are the Four-Tails Jinchuriki and the Five-Tails Jinchuriki.

The fact that Konoha was able to hold on for so long thanks to Orochimaru and that it only suffered setbacks and had its front lines shrink instead of being completely defeated was already a miracle among miracles!
"No, this won't work. Even if we appease Kirigakure, we may still lose this war..."

Danzo murmured to himself, and the first thing he thought of was to use the combat method of Minato Namikaze with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki again, but the Iwagakure also had a highly mobile humanoid disaster.

The third Tsuchikage, Ohnoki, the two heavenly scales!

Although that old guy didn't master the space-time ninjutsu, he could fly, and the Dust Release he mastered was a bloodline elimination above the bloodline limit!
There is no doubt that Ōnoki is a natural disaster no less serious than Mizunozuki.

Once Namikaze Minato and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki join forces, Ōnoki will definitely take action. By then, everything that happened on the Kirigakure battlefield will probably happen again!

"Is this the pressure you bear, Hiruzen..."

Danzo took a deep breath, and at this moment, he finally understood what his old friend had endured over the years.

"With great power comes great responsibility. This may be the reason why the teacher chose you instead of me."

"But now, I have felt your pressure, I can't do nothing!"

After thinking for a moment, Danzo took out a scroll from his arms and began to write something.

After a moment, Danzo sealed the entire scroll with a special spell.

"Someone is coming."

"Lord Danzo."

An Anbu then appeared.

Seeing that it was not a member of the Root, but an ANBU, made Danzo paused.

"Let Shisui come over here."

"Yes, Lord Danzo."

A moment later, Uchiha Shisui appeared in the Hokage's office. Looking at Shimura Danzo sitting in the Hokage's position, Shisui was slightly stunned, but still lowered his head and said respectfully: "Master Danzo!"

"Shisui, I'm afraid you're the only one who can handle this mission."

Danzo picked up a scroll and pushed it in front of Shisui: "Send this scroll to Hanzo in the Hidden Rain Village."

"The Hidden Rain Village... the legendary Hanzo who is known as a demigod?!"

"Yeah, that's the guy."

Danzo nodded and said in a deep voice: "We have had contact and cooperation agreement with him before. We helped him deal with a new power organization in his village, and he helped us relieve the pressure on the battlefield of Kirigakure."

"But no one expected that the Kirigakure battlefield would develop to this extent, causing the cooperation to be shelved... and now the situation in the Iwagakure battlefield is not optimistic. We need the help of the Raingakure. As long as we can get Hanzo to send troops to help us, we will be able to greatly relieve the pressure on the front line!"

Danzo roughly explained the situation. If it were a Root ninja, he would have just given the orders, but it was different now.

Now, he is the 'Acting Hokage', so of course he has to do things in a formal and reasonable manner.

"Because it involves taking action against the target force, you alone are definitely not enough, but there are not many extra manpower available in the village, so Shisui, I hope you can call on some people from the Uchiha clan to assist you in carrying out this mission..."

"That's it, I understand!"

Shisui nodded seriously and took the scroll: "I will complete the task, please rest assured, Danzo-sama!"

"Well, I leave it to you..."
