Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

In the original work, Shiro only managed to achieve complete Bankai during the Thousand-Year Blood War.

Without the limitations of the Gikai, Yoru was able to fully realize Hyōrinmaru's Bankai, thus mastering Hyōrinmaru's ultimate power.

[Frozen Four Realms]

Within a four-step radius, all water, fire, and wind are frozen.

Everything, including time, space, elements, and even functions, can be frozen completely!

This is the power of Hyōrinmaru, the strongest ice-type Zanpakutō.

The so-called immortality, the so-called death by blood, and all the power of the evil god Jia Jin were frozen in that instant.

[Ding! Successfully killed the special life form 'Evil God Gakin', reward 1000000 points.]

"Actually, I don't really want to kill you."

Hearing the system notification, Ye shook his head, put Hyōrinmaru back into its sheath, took out a scroll, retrieved a Gikai from it, and reintegrated it into the scroll.

After a while.

Night stretched her body, glanced at Tsunade who was standing there dumbfounded in the distance, and didn't pay her any more attention. Instead, she grabbed the black rod stuck in the chest of the evil god Jakin.

This black rod is extremely special, containing extremely high energy intensity. Even the evil god Jiajin, after thousands of years, could not easily pull it out.

"A product of Yin-Yang Release Technique..."

Sensing the chakra fluctuations emanating from it, Ye murmured softly.

He already had some understanding of Yin-Yang Escape Technique, and had even begun to study it.

The subject of his research was Uchiha Shisui, who had already awakened the Rinnegan.

Two mutually exclusive forces, when combined into one, give rise to the myriad phenomena of the universe.

The Rinnegan contains the power of Yin-Yang Release, but the Yin-Yang Release power that Shisui can release is far inferior to the Yin-Yang Release power on this black rod.

This black rod has been inside the body of the evil god Jiajin for at least a thousand years, and Jiajin has been resisting it day and night, trying to expel it from his body.

Even under these circumstances, the black rod still contained an extremely strong chakra reaction, and one could even sense mental fluctuations from it the moment Ye touched it.

"The spiritual power belonging to the Otsutsuki clan from a thousand years ago..."

Night's eyes were full of curiosity, but he did not act rashly. Instead, he made sure that this spiritual power would not pose a great threat to him before he began to contact it.

In an instant, the night seemed to travel through time, arriving in a desolate world from a unique perspective.

It was an extremely desolate and dilapidated world. It was neither like the yellow sand of the Land of Wind nor the rocky mountains of the Land of Earth. Instead, it was a kind of desolation, a different kind of barrenness.

It was as if he were very old and the whole world would perish and be destroyed in the next moment.

In this world that is on the verge of desolation and destruction, a colossal tree stands tall!

The giant tree blocked out the sky and reached into the clouds. Its branches and leaves were as big as houses, and its roots were like mountains. Streams of energy and nutrients were constantly drawn by its roots, making the world beneath its feet increasingly barren.

The place where Ye stood was beneath this magnificent divine tree.

What is all this about...

"The divine tree has almost exhausted its energy reserves, and the fruit will soon condense."

"But the resistance from the natives of this world is fierce, and we need to wipe them out."

Suddenly, a clear, cold voice rang out from beside me.

As Ye turned around, a beautiful figure came into view.

She had pale skin and long blue-white hair. Her delicate and beautiful face had a pair of white eyes. Most importantly, she had two horns on the top of her head.

This face is familiar to anyone who has watched the final episode of Naruto. She is the progenitor of chakra in the ninja world, the mother of Black Zetsu and the Sage of Six Paths, and the biggest villain in the 720 episodes of Naruto.

Goddess of the Rabbit.

Kaguya Otsutsuki!

Ye originally thought that this Yin-Yang Release black rod was left behind by the Sage of Six Paths, but now even Kaguya Otsutsuki has appeared.

So, someone who can stand alongside Kaguya Otsutsuki, communicate with her as an equal, and even take the dominant position in such interactions...

"I will take care of all those inferior creatures."

A detached voice came from 'oneself's' mouth, and the scene before them suddenly changed.

A horde of demons and monsters gathered before 'himself,' howling as they charged forward.

Faced with this situation, 'Night' simply extended one hand gracefully and shot out more than ten black chakra rods formed from Yin-Yang Release.

The black rod shot out, and the strange people in front of him were no match for 'Night'. In the blink of an eye, they scattered like birds and beasts.

The scene before me slowly faded away...

I snapped back to reality in a daze.

"I never imagined that this evil god Jiajin was actually an indigenous person from Earth a thousand years ago."

"And the source of this black rod is actually Otsutsuki Isshiki!"

The ninja world has never been anything particularly special in this world; it is merely one of the tiny planets in the Naruto universe.

For the Otsutsuki clan, who roam the universe, this tiny Earth is merely the source of energy for their clan to ascend to godhood.

Based on the plot of the original work, and everything shown in the previous scenes, Ye also roughly understood what happened a thousand years ago.

After Isshiki Otsutsuki and Kaguya Otsutsuki descended upon the ninja world, they planted the Divine Tree and used it to absorb the planet's energy to condense its fruit.

However, because the divine tree's absorption of energy from this world was so excessive, the entire world was on the verge of destruction.

In this situation, the original inhabitants of the ninja world, including the evil god Jajin, raised the banner of resistance in order to protect their homeland.

The final result speaks for itself.

The Otsutsuki, who roamed the universe, was unstoppable. Under the power of Otsutsuki Isshiki and Otsutsuki Kaguya, all who resisted became fertilizer for the Divine Tree.

As for the evil god Jiajin, who possesses certain special abilities, such as 'immortality', he was lucky enough to escape the calamity, but was seriously injured as a result and can only hide in this lava underground, barely surviving.

The original ninja world became the domain of the Otsutsuki clan.

Later, when Otsutsuki Isshiki was harvesting the fruit, he was betrayed by Kaguya, and Kaguya was betrayed by her own son, which ultimately led to the current state of Shinobi Castle.

So you're the one on the side of justice?

Night looked at the lifeless evil god Jiajin beneath his feet with a strange expression, and crushed it to pieces with one stomp.

This can be considered as bringing it back to the embrace of Mother Earth.

"Then here's the problem."

"Kaguya Otsutsuki betrayed him because she didn't want to be killed by the Ten-Tails, which was why she defied her superior. So why did Hagoromo Otsutsuki, who was known for his maternal love and filial piety, kill his own mother with his brother?"

To protect the ninja world?

Want to become a traitor to the Otsutsuki clan?

If that's the case, then he shouldn't have created the Ninja Cult, spreading chakra and causing the original training system of the ninja world to be completely destroyed, making chakra the mainstream of ninja training.

The existence of the evil god Ging has already demonstrated that Earth's original cultivation system was feasible. Putting aside everything else, this guy's power alone has completely surpassed the 'Kage level,' making him a true Kage-level being, and he also possesses special abilities.

A thousand years ago, the evil god Jagami was just one of the many native inhabitants of the ninja world, and not even the strongest. He only survived because of his special abilities.

This shows how vibrant and full of life the original ninja world was!

But now, all of that has been replaced by chakra.

True.

Chakra is more convenient, more versatile, more universal, and more acceptable to a wider range of people.

However, once they abandon their original power and turn to chakra, their growth potential will be completely locked.

For those without the Otsutsuki bloodline, their future can only reach the 'Kage level' at most, and this level of power can never pose the slightest threat to the Otsutsuki clan, or rather, to the Sage of Six Paths.

"The savior who saves the world from suffering... I fear his true face might be that of a dictator who seeks to maintain his eternal rule!"

Night's gaze was deep and unfathomable. Suddenly, he turned his gaze to Tsunade, who had remained silent all along.

"After watching for so long, have you figured anything out?"

"..."

Tsunade's expression was complicated: "You are... Minazuki Yoru, aren't you?"

"Isn't this obvious? In the entire ninja world, is there anyone else who possesses such ice-style power?" Night shrugged, making no attempt to conceal his identity.

"No, not this."

Tsunade took a deep breath: "You just now... you changed your body, right? After you killed that evil god, you put your soul back into this body."

"Back during the Third Shinobi World War, the old man wrote to me saying that you were a strange being who possessed soul power, and wanted me to return to the village to deal with you. I never believed him, thinking it was just an excuse for the old man to get me back to the village, but I never expected that you actually possessed such power..."

"If I'm not mistaken, the rise of the Shinigami and the Seireitei in the ninja world during this period should also be your doing... Minazuki Yoru, as the Fourth Mizukage, what exactly are you planning to do!"

What do you think I want to do?

Ye looked at the Thousand-Handed Princess in front of him with a half-smile.

Tsunade subconsciously wanted to say something like 'rule the world,' but the somewhat ridiculous phrase ultimately remained unspoken.

Only by witnessing it firsthand can one truly understand just how terrifying this guy's power is. Leaving aside his ability to switch bodies, the terrifying ice release he previously displayed already completely surpasses the current combat power level of the ninja world.

After witnessing Yoru's fighting prowess, Tsunade immediately thought of one person.

That was her grandfather, Hashirama Senju, known as the God of Shinobi!

His grandfather, during the Warring States period, ended the chaos of the Warring States period with his unparalleled fighting power and founded Konoha with Madara Uchiha.

Hashirama Senju during the Sengoku period was an absolute supermodel.

The terrifying power of Mizuki Yoru, which even the evil god could not resist and which froze the entire Akatsuki Mountain in an instant, is something that Konoha cannot currently contend with!

At that moment, at this moment.

If Mizuki Yoru were willing, he could easily lead the Land of Water to sweep through the entire ninja world!

But he didn't do that...

"Some things cannot be explained in just a few words."

"There are many secrets in this world, and many things that ordinary people don't know about, such as this so-called evil god, and the existence of this black rod that was once left on this evil god."

As Ye spoke calmly, he put the black chakra rod in his hand into the scroll.

"The less you know, the less pressure you feel. Given your current state, exploring these things is... well, don't add unnecessary pressure to yourself. Isn't it fine to drown your sorrows in alcohol and gambling every day?"

"You!" Tsunade gritted her teeth. "Don't joke around. If it really involves something of that level, how can I stay out of it!"

"Oh?"

Night chuckled lightly: "Am I joking or are you joking, Tsunade? Be rational. Don't try to win an argument by saying such ridiculous things. You can't even overcome hemophobia. What can you do if something really happens?"

"You! Me!"

Looking at Tsunade's angry face, Yoru smiled calmly.

"Alright, enough said. The Evil God dungeon is over. Don't forget you still owe me two lives, plus one more request."

"A Moonless Night on Water!"

"ciao~"

Night's figure vanished from the spot.

Tsunade, frustrated, slammed her fist into the icy rock wall, scattering countless ice crystals and fragments all over the ground.

Looking at her reflection on the ice, the Thousand-Handed Princess of the Land of Fire had an uncertain expression.

A moment later, Tsunade suddenly stood up and rushed towards the outside.

"No, I have to find out."

"What is your ultimate goal? And what are you facing?"

"You can't escape, Mizunazukiyo!"

Curiosity is the beginning of being ensnared.
