Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

Six Paths?

Or.

Sacred tree...

"boom!!"

The immense energy of the dragon vein condensed in mid-air and actually transformed into a purple dragon a hundred meters long.

The dragon roared and danced, but fortunately, it didn't possess intelligence like a tailed beast; it was merely a collection of energy, so it posed little threat to Ye.

"Regardless of how you were born, you will now be at my disposal!"

With a flick of his wrist, Ye produced a miniature sealing gourd.

With a clasp of his hands, the miniature sealing gourd suddenly grew larger, until it reached the height of a person, before stabilizing.

"Draw!"

He removed the lid from the sealed gourd and let out a low shout.

As he uttered a low shout, a flash of light appeared at the seal of the gourd.

Immediately afterwards, countless sealing spells covered the seal of the gourd, which slowly opened, like a gaping maw, unleashing an unimaginable and terrifying suction force on the surging dragon vein!

"bring it on!"

Just as he used the sealing gourd to devour the chakra of the Land of Snow, Yoru is doing the same thing now.

However, compared to the chakra of the Land of Snow, the Dragon Vein far surpasses the former in both quantity and quality of chakra.

In just a short while, the sealed gourd in Ye's hand seemed to be about to be filled.

"Truly worthy of the power of the dragon vein... Condense!"

Ye An sighed and formed hand seals again. The sealed gourd trembled, and its volume increased several times over. Moreover, as it continued to absorb the power of the dragon vein, the gourd's volume continued to grow.

A few minutes later, the gourd had grown to a height of tens of meters, resembling a tall building.

The outer skin of the sealed gourd became as thin as paper, and one could even see the enormous energy surging inside through its surface.

This sealing gourd is not the same as the six-path level ninja tools that the Sage of Six Paths used to have, such as the red gourd and the amber bottle. It is just a sealing vessel that Yoru made himself.

To achieve this level of quality is already exceptional, especially considering the formidable sealing techniques employed by Ye.

Fortunately, although the sealed gourd was about to reach its limit, the power of the dragon vein had also become quite weak, and the surrounding hurricanes had stopped. It seemed that the inexhaustible energy was also nearing its end.

"Om..."

As the last bit of dragon vein power was devoured by the sealing gourd, the environment within the entire dimensional space returned to deathly silence.

At this moment, Ye's hands formed a seal again, and the huge sealing gourd, which was tens of meters high and as tall as a building, trembled slightly, and the sealing incantations on its surface moved rapidly.

Driven by the sealing spell, the enormous sealed gourd began to gradually shrink, becoming smaller little by little.

However, compared to the original small bell-shaped gourd that resembled a charm, the sealed gourd is now the size of a basketball.

"With this thing, the strength of those guys in Hueco Mundo can double."

As Ye gently stroked the sealed gourd, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

He set his sights on the dragon vein out of sheer necessity.

With the Shinigami, Hueco Mundo, and Quincy currently operating side-by-side in Kirigakure, coupled with the Kirigakure Duel Tower being a major consumer of chakra, Yoru's energy requirements are increasing.

Even with the Hidden Mist Village having the Impure World Reincarnation of laborers, plus the chakra of the Land of Snow, it still wasn't enough.

Especially in the Hueco Mundo area.

The virtual experiments showed a clear research stagnation, or evolutionary stagnation.

Fallen souls devour each other, thus creating Hollows. Hollows devour each other, leading to the creation of Great Hollows 'Gri' or even higher-level Hollows.

However, the Hollows inside Hueco Mundo did not continue to grow and evolve as planned.

Even if the Kyrians kill and devour each other, the species that are born will still be Kyrians, not the Adjuchas as envisioned.

After careful examination, Yoru and Yumi and the others finally discovered the key point.

Energy deficiency!

Like a death god transformed.

During the process of becoming a Grim Reaper, the soul's energy combines with natural energy and is then infused with the power of the Grim Reaper, thus completing the transformation of the soul into a Grim Reaper.

Natural energy plays a significant supporting role in this process; it is both the energy source for the Grim Reaper's transformation and the key to the Grim Reaper's body.

The same reason.

Although the Void grows by devouring souls, it also requires a vast amount of natural energy as its energy source.

For lower-level Void beings, evolution can be completed using only soul energy, but to break through to higher-level existences, soul energy alone is far from sufficient.

At this point, additional energy is needed.

In addition, since various experiments require energy sources, Ye had no choice but to continue searching for massive energy sources in the ninja world.

In addition to personally coming to the Land of Wind to search for the dragon vein, he also sent the 13th Division Captain, Yagura Karatachi, to the Star Ninja Village in the Land of Bear to search for extraterrestrial meteorites, stars.

The overall combat strength of Xingren Village is not high. Although the Peacock Technique has excellent functionality, its actual effect in actual combat is not very strong. Its only feature is that it can fly.

With Yagura's abilities, taking over Hoshigakure would be a piece of cake.

"It seems quite lively outside."

Ye put away the sealing gourd that contained the dragon vein, and his figure slowly emerged from the dimensional space.

The moment his figure appeared, several figures were already in front of Ye.

It is Sand Village.

Six Sand Village Jonin completely surrounded Yoru, forming a three-by-three squad, but none of them made a move. Instead, they cautiously watched Yoru, who stood suspended in mid-air in front of them.

flight.

This ability is extremely rare in the ninja world. You can count the number of ninjas who can fly on one hand, and almost every one of them is an elite from a major ninja village with extremely strong strength!

"You stole the dragon vein?!"

The leading Sand Village Jonin stared intently at the night, his expression solemn, and shouted sternly, "Give up resistance and surrender, or don't blame us for taking action!"

Ye didn't speak, but instead looked at the other end.

Beneath the yellow sand, he could clearly sense the presence of several other figures.

They didn't show much chakra, but one of them had a very special aura that had a strange connection to the dragon vein in Ye's hand.

"Interesting. So, upon discovering that there was a problem with the dragon vein, they immediately summoned the people from Sunagakure."

"Do it!"

Seeing that Ye remained silent and showed no sign of smirking, the Sand Village Jonin did not hesitate and immediately gave the order to attack. Before he finished speaking, his hands had already formed hand seals.

Fire Release: Flame Whirlwind!

"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!"

"Wind Release: Great Tornado!"

"Puppet manipulation!"

Driven by the raging tornado, the raging fire instantly transformed into a fiery tornado, its power increasing several times over.

Meanwhile, the two puppeteers on the side summoned their puppets at the same time. The wooden puppet automatons spewed out poisonous mist, and the fiery tornado was immediately tinged with a poisonous purple color!

The night was serene, and a kaleidoscope spun beneath the pure white mask.

"Kavi!"

The space in front of them suddenly distorted, and all the attacks that came at them landed on this distorted space. The fiery tornado containing deadly poison was directly distorted and disappeared.

"Wha, what?!"

"How can this be!"

"Space-time ninjutsu?"

The bizarre scene left the Sand Village elites present utterly astonished.

The Sand Village Jonin who was leading the group and using Fire Release techniques was even more shocked.

Based on his intuition, he knew that the guy in front of him might be very strong. After all, even when surrounded by several of his own people, the guy was still able to stand calmly in mid-air. Just by standing there, he exuded an aura of power.

I never expected this guy to be this strong.

Not only can it fly, it also possesses space-time ninjutsu!

"Everyone be careful, this..."

"Pfft!"

Before the Sand Village Jonin could finish his shock and warn his companions, a pure white bolt of lightning pierced his heart.

Belatedly, he looked up and saw only the slightly raised finger of the guy in front of him, and his companions who had fallen with him.

"this!"

The Loulan Queen, hidden in the shadows, kept covering her mouth, her expression one of terror.

Instantly killing six Jonin—is this guy a monster?!

No, I can't make a sound, I'll die, I'll definitely die!

But in the blink of an eye, the person in front of him had vanished without a trace.

Before the Loulan Queen could even show a look of doubt, a detached voice rang out from behind her.

"You are the Queen of Loulan?"

"You, you!" Sarah froze on the spot, then suddenly a special short knife appeared in her hand, which she slashed backward.

But how could such a slow and sluggish offensive possibly be effective?

Night easily grabbed Sara's wrist, while catching the special kunai short sword that was infused with chakra with his other hand.

Looking at the Konoha symbol above, Ye's lips curled into a mocking smile: "Konoha's chakra blade, huh? You're quite something. The people of Konoha only came to carry out a mission to eliminate a potential threat, and they even took your wealth and glory with them. Yet you keep them in your heart."

"Where are your people? Did Minato Namikaze take them to Konoha to live with you?"

"you!"

Night's words caused obvious astonishment on Sarah's face. The queen of the ancient Loulan Kingdom bit her lip and said, "Who are you? How do you know everything that happened back then?"

"That's not important."

Night's gaze fell on Sarah, he looked her up and down, and clicked his tongue in disapproval.

"Your clothes are full of patches, your hands are covered in calluses, you have many hidden injuries, and you're even a bit malnourished... To be honest, your physical condition is not what one would expect from a queen."

"With your physical condition, I'm afraid you won't live past thirty."

"Without the energy of the dragon vein, without the resources of the Loulan Kingdom, you are powerless, yet you are leading your people to survive in this endless yellow sand."

Ye shook her head, a look of pity on her face: "To be honest, I don't want to say anything to a queen like you who doesn't have much of a brain, but I really feel sorry for the people of Loulan who are under your rule."

"enough!"

The Queen of Loulan roared, "Although Loulan was reduced to ruins in the war, everyone is still alive and well!"

Is it really that good?

Night let out a sneer.

"Alright, I'm too lazy to talk to a brainless guy like you anymore, lest I lower my own intelligence. I was originally planning to take the dragon vein and leave, and then go back to study it slowly. But since you're here, you might as well come with me."

"Wha, what?!"

Queen Sarah of Loulan looked up in surprise, thinking she had misheard.

But the moment I looked up, the whole world became mesmerizing.

As he removed the seal from the White Zealot spores parasitizing Sarah, Night asked.

How many people from Loulan are still alive today?

"Eighty-three people."

Sarah spoke softly, her tone calm, showing no trace of her earlier hostility.
