Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

A violent ninjutsu attacked Kisame. Kisame hadn't expected his opponent to attack so directly. His expression turned serious, he formed hand seals, and spat out a torrent of water.

The flowing water coalesced, forming a unique water prison around Kisame. The powerful water pressure completely enveloped Kisame, allowing him to perfectly protect himself from the impact of ninjutsu.

"The water prison technique, huh? That's quite a clever response."

Although the Water Prison Technique is only a C-rank Water Release ninjutsu, its unique functionality can be used in many creative ways by Water Release masters.

Sasori, standing to one side, looked surprised and inwardly admired Kisame's method of dealing with the situation, while Kakuzu revealed a mocking smile.

Wrapping oneself in a cocoon!

Watch as I break through this water prison of yours and take your head!

Kakuzu charged toward Kisame, unleashing a massive amount of Earth Grudge Black Lines from his hands. However, he did not attack immediately. Instead, as he approached Kisame, the Earth Grudge Monsters symbolizing the lightning attribute roared out from his body and released a sharp lightning spear from their mouths!

"Thunder Escape! Pseudo Darkness!"

The Water Prison Technique is extremely defensive, but its greatest weakness is that its defensive ability against lightning-attribute ninjutsu is reduced rather than increased.

Clearly, Kakuzu had already prepared a countermeasure, using the pseudo-darkness to break through the water prison, and then quickly finishing off the enemy with the close-range Earth Grudge Fear.

Scorpion's eyes narrowed slightly, but he agreed inwardly.

No wonder he's the man who attacked and killed the First Hokage, he's got some skills!

But then, something truly astonishing happened.

Kisame inside the water prison didn't make many moves, simply holding Samehada in front of him silently.

The next moment, the incoming pseudo-darkness landed precisely on the water prison technique, but before the terrifying lightning strike, powerful enough to pierce through boulders, could explode, it was swallowed whole by Samehada.

"Wha, what?!"

"So this is the Samehada, the Ninja Sword! It's truly amazing!"

Kakuzu's eyes gleamed with an increasingly intense green light. He was starting to have second thoughts about exchanging Samehada for cash; instead, he wanted to keep it as a collectible.

Kisame, however, remained remarkably calm when facing Kakuzu.

His gaze swept between Kisame and Sasori, analyzing the situation before him, as well as the key ninja information that the Fourth Mizukage had released to all Jonin.

"Kakuzu, the immortal ninja who possesses the Takigakure treasure and fought against the First Hokage, has mastered ninjutsu of five chakra natures by relying on the power of Earth Grudge Fear. To kill him completely, we must destroy his five organs, namely his five masks."

"This guy is relatively easy to deal with. The real troublemaker is probably that red-haired guy."

"Sasori of the Red Sand, the Sand Village's genius puppeteer who killed the Third Kazekage who defected. According to the Fourth Hokage's intelligence, this guy possesses top-tier puppetry skills, poisons, and even a puppet of the Third Kazekage..."

"It seems that I cannot fight them head-on; I can only stall them."

Kisame remained calm. With his Water Prison Technique and Samehada, Kakuzu alone posed little threat to him. The real threat came from Sasori, who held the position of the Third Kazekage.

The strongest Kazekage, who wields the power of Magnet Release, is almost a natural counter to Water Release ninjas; that's the truly troublesome opponent.

Good thing...

"Are you one of those turtle-like people from Iwagakure? Show me your Hidden Mist Village's proud silent assassination techniques and water-style ninjutsu!"

"Is this the kind of cowardly bunch you are under Mizukiyo's rule? You've completely disgraced the Blood Mist, who once dominated the ninja world!"

Kakuzu used several more escape techniques, but none of them had any effect.

For a moment, Kakuzu, who had already regarded Kisame as easy prey, was somewhat vulnerable, while Kisame seemed to ignore these voices.

A ninja is someone with an extremely high level of endurance. If you can't even tolerate this little noise, what kind of ninja are you?

Kisame calmly maintained the Water Prison Technique, occasionally using Samehada to absorb Kakuzu's chakra. Kakuzu gradually calmed down, knowing that he couldn't break Kisame's combo in a short time, and wasn't in a hurry.

"Do you need help?"

"No need, it's just a cornered beast fighting back."

"Kakuzu".

"I said I don't need help..."

“Look around,” Sasori interrupted Kakuzu, his voice tinged with seriousness. “We…we’re probably in big trouble!”

Before anyone knew it, the surrounding bushes were filled with stone terracotta warriors. The densely packed terracotta warriors, wielding weapons, completely surrounded the three people in the area. They stretched as far as the eye could see, and their number could be described as tens of thousands!

"So they were all attracted here after all."

Kisame clearly noticed the situation around him, and a smile appeared on his face.

This place is not far from the source of chakra that Samehada sensed, only a dozen miles away. Moreover, Kisame also discovered along the way that these stone terracotta warriors seemed to be targeting him. The closer he got to the source of the chakra signal, the more interested these terracotta warriors became in him, and the more of them chased after him.

Clearly, his plan to attract attention and help Ayako and the others escape had succeeded, and he had also inadvertently dragged two members of the Akatsuki organization into the situation!

Kakuzu and Sasori both looked grim, but they understood that they had no choice but to fight now.

Arms, joints, mouth.

Countless dark, earth-grim lines surged from Kakuzu's body, and his aura became extremely powerful.

Sasori took out a scroll and summoned the Third Kazekage's human puppet, which was wrapped in fine iron sand.

"Let's face this undead army together!"

The Kisame inside the water prison revealed his shark teeth with a broad smile.

He deliberately broke the water prison spell, and with his hands forming a series of hand seals, he spewed water like a giant wave towards the ground, creating a field advantage.

The next moment, tens of thousands of terracotta warriors collided violently with the three of them!

"It's really lively..."

The belated Hozuki Gengetsu looked at the battlefield below and clicked his tongue: "They all seem to be very strong. Well, I'll hold out for a while and let me find out some information about the demons first."

"The source of this aura...is it inside that volcano?"

The man wearing a white haori vanished from the spot in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared at the entrance of the volcano.

Countless terracotta warriors stood guard on the outside, and in addition, there were several human figures, which surprised Hozuki Gengetsu.

Surrendering to monsters? What's so special about that?

Traitor?

However, Hozuki Gengetsu didn't pay much attention to these people for the time being, and his figure went unnoticed as he silently entered the belly of the volcano.

The environment inside the volcano is extremely treacherous, filled with boiling lava. In addition, there is a huge and terrifying figure floating in the lava, like a demon returned from hell.

"This power... is comparable to that of a tailed beast!"

Hozuki Gengetsu looked solemn. According to the Fourth Hozuki, this place was only a part of his power, or even half of it.

Only by reclaiming his own soul and devouring the priestess can he become a true demon.

No wonder the Fourth Hokage takes this so seriously. Given this guy's strength and his immortality, he's really going to be a tough opponent!

"What should we do, Lord Wraith? The power of those ninjas outside is far beyond our imagination. Even if the terracotta warriors are immortal under your power, they are still no match for them!"

Huang Quan cried out to the demons, his mind no longer harboring the idea of ​​being invincible after being granted power.

Forget being invincible, he even doubted that he was currently only as strong as an ordinary Jonin from one of the five great ninja villages!

"Damn and lowly ninjas..." the demon roared, its ferocious snake head thrashing about, seemingly quite agitated.

"I was thinking of using a temporary body first, but now it seems that I can only take back my soul first."

"Yellow Springs, I will merge with your body first, then we will go to the Land of Demons, to the Shrine of the Priestess!"

"Yes, Lord Wangliang!"

Huang Quan nodded, pondered for a moment, then took out two scalpels and cut open his own abdomen.

Strangely, after he cut open his body, no blood flowed out. The scene of his disembowelment looked like a sack that had been ripped open.

"Lord Wraith, I know dark medical ninjutsu, so please feel free to enter my body!"

"Well done, Huang Quan! You truly are someone I value!"

The demon let out a grotesque laugh and its entire body suddenly plunged into Huang Quan's body, which had been slashed open.

Huang Quan's body trembled and shuddered, as if the thing that had entered him was too big and he could not bear it, and he was in great pain.

Seeing this, Hozuki Gengetsu was unsure whether to make a move, but at that moment, Night's voice rang out.

"Don't rush, let them go to the Land of Demons. I also want to see what this so-called complete form of the demon is."

"Uh, are you sure, Fourth Hokage? What if some kind of monster jumps out of this thing..."

"Isn't that exactly what we need?"

The calm and composed voice made Hozuki Gengetsu's heart skip a beat, and he understood Yoru's plan.

"Keep an eye on Kakuzu and Sasori, make sure Kisame is safe. I'm going to the Land of Demons first."

"Yes!"

Under the watchful gaze of Hozuki Gengetsu, the demon completely entered Yomi's body, and Yomi became the 'demigod jinchūriki', leaving the volcano and heading straight for the Land of Demons.

……

Inside Kirigakure Village.

Yoru, dressed in the robes of the Fourth Mizukage, appeared in Yukiko's bloodline limit laboratory.

Upon entering, one sees Yukiko with red eyes, dressed in a pure white research suit, fiddling with something on a table full of glassware.

Even with a white lab coat, her curvaceous figure couldn't be completely concealed. Paired with her fair skin and cool, stunningly beautiful face, she was truly a top-tier research student!

"What's wrong, Lord Ye?"

Feeling Ye's gaze, Yukiko looked puzzled.

"No, it's nothing. Come over and get a prosthetic body."

Ye casually asked, "How's the research going lately?"

"I'm studying the cursed seal that Orochimaru planted on Anko, and I've discovered quite a few things."

"This so-called curse mark is a method of forcibly implanting natural power into the human body through special means. This method is extremely dangerous and ordinary people simply cannot withstand it."

"But perhaps it was because Anko was incredibly lucky that the natural energy in the cursed seal Orochimaru planted was so compatible with her, which allowed her to survive and to some extent use the power of the cursed seal, or rather, the natural energy, to strengthen herself."

"You could say this cursed seal is a simplified version of Sage Mode!"

Yukiko said excitedly, "However, it is obvious that the curse seal is still in its infancy. The appearance of Anko can be considered a coincidence. It is extremely difficult to replicate it. We need to gradually improve the curse seal."

"Fortunately, based on Yumi's previous research on natural energy, I have a lot of information in this area. In addition, with the existence of the White Zetsu cell body, I should be able to improve some of the bad things in the curse seal soon."

"very good!"

Night nodded in satisfaction: "If you can produce the modified cursed seal, Orochimaru will probably be shocked to death."

"hey-hey."

Yukiko smiled mischievously: "By the way, Lord Yoru, which modified cyborg would you like?"

"let me see."

Under Yukiko's guidance, Yoru began to examine his modified android.

The so-called "modified prosthetic body" is based on the prosthetic body obtained from the Nightfall system, and then human experiments are conducted on it.

This artificial body can perfectly house Night's soul, and is no different from Night's current physical body.

However, Yoru provided so many prosthetic bodies that Yukiko, Yumi, and the others conducted numerous experiments that even Yoru himself was no longer clear about the modifications to his prosthetic bodies.

"This is number one, an Uchiha modified artificial body equipped with both 'Kamui' and 'Kotoamatsukami' Mangekyou Sharingan."

Yukiko pointed to a nutrient tank containing a body with its eyes closed, bearing a striking resemblance to Yoru, and said, "This is number two. It perfectly integrates the First Hokage's cells and Yumi's Uzumaki cells, and can release Wood Release to a certain extent. Its physique is extremely strong."

"The third artificial body is based on the Kaguya clan, fused with cells from the Hyuga clan. However, it does not possess the Byakugan's power, but the power of the Shikotsumyaku is greatly enhanced..."

Chapter 135 Capturing a Witch to Take Home and Play With

Under Yoru's deliberate indulgence, Moryo, who had already been intimidated by the top ninja in the world (Kisame Kakuzu Sasori), stopped proclaiming his invincible power and instead controlled Yomi, making her carry him straight to the Shrine of the Priestess in the Land of Demons.

Reclaim your soul!

As the evening glow spread across the sky, turning it orange-red, Huang Quan finally brought Wang Liang to the Land of Demons.

Because he was traveling alone, the demon did not have an immortal army; he only used his evil chakra to control a few ninjas along the way, and therefore did not attract much attention.
