Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

Faced with the attack, Night showed no fear. Instead of retreating, she advanced, gripping her Zanpakuto and charging towards the fire dragon.

He made no other move, charging straight at the fire dragon. The moment they made contact, layers of ice crystals appeared on the blazing flames...

This bizarre scene stunned everyone present, including the Black and White Zetsu who had just arrived and Nagato, who thought he was victorious again.

The passive buff of freezing the four realms constantly enveloped Ye, causing all functions of everything within three steps to stagnate, including earth, fire, water, and wind. Even flames could not escape the power of Hyōrinmaru!

The fire dragon transformed into an ice dragon, and Ye swung his sword down, shattering the ice dragon.

Nagato's expression changed slightly. Although he didn't expect the fire dragon to cause any major damage to Yoru, no one could bear such a scene.

The idea of ​​flames being frozen is like water being ignited or gaseous winds gathering to form the earth—it's beyond common sense and completely impossible!

"Thunder and lightning!"

"blast!"

Nagato gave a series of orders, and the Gedo Mazo once again roared to the sky. The ten broken pillars behind it were accompanied by howling winds, lightning, and thunder. Countless gales and thunderbolts merged together at this moment, forming a lightning dragon that rushed towards Minazuki Yoru with a terrifying force that swept everything away.

But the result was still the same.

The lightning and wind dragon, just like the fire dragon, was frozen into an ice dragon the moment it came into contact with Ye, and then Ye shattered it with a single slash.

"This is impossible, this is impossible..."

"Since you can freeze chakra, then try this!"

Seeing this, Nagato's face was full of disbelief. The next moment, he roared angrily and slammed his hands on the top of the Gedo Mazo.

The golem, which resembled a withered tree, suddenly spread its arms and legs, its shackles shattered, and the entire golem transformed into an unsealed giant, charging towards Minazuki Yoru!

The Gedo Mazo came galloping across the land with a deafening roar. Compared to its enormous size, Minazuki Yoru was like a tiny ant.

The shackles and chains of the past have become my weapons; the golem that breaks free of its cage will be a war god that destroys everything!

"Die, Minazukiyo!"

Chapter 154 Defeating Nagato! The Nine-Tails' Tribulations!

Size does not necessarily represent strength, but in the ninja world, a large size is a good indicator of combat power.

You can't pilot a Gundam, no wonder your ninja war can't beat the opponent. You're not qualified to participate in the ultimate battle of the ninja world if you can't pilot a Gundam.

Whether it's Susanoo from the Gundam era, the Super Multiplication Technique, the Giant Summoning Beast, or the Complete Tailed Beast Transformation.

Whether it's the Tailed Beast Armor Susanoo from the Otsutsuki era, or Kenjiro Inukai, these are almost all typical examples of Gundam.

The Gedo Statue summoned by Nagato at this moment is also one of the best among them!

"Roar!!"

The roaring Gedo Mazo charged toward Minazuki Yoru. Compared to its enormous size, Minazuki Yoru was now as small as an ant, as if a single palm strike could kill it completely.

but.

"For Death, size has never been of any use."

"And... don't you think your target size is a bit too big?"

Ye smiled calmly, raised the Hyōrinmaru in his hand, and the entire world suddenly turned dark.

Located in the northern part of the continent, the Land of Iron is covered in snow all year round. In addition, its coastal location makes the country very humid. Even with the limitations of the artificial body, Night's combat power will still be greatly enhanced in such a humid place.

The pitch-black sky rumbled, silver snakes danced, and the already frigid world cooled down even further.

Countless snowflakes and ice flowers began to fall from the sky, landing on the demonic statue of the heretic.

The Outer Path Demon Statue has no life. At this moment, although it resembles a wild beast, compared to the Tailed Beasts, it is more like a special shell of a Six Paths-level life form that is driven by a massive amount of energy and has only a killing instinct.

As the ice flowers fell, the Outer Path Demon Statue did not hesitate for a moment, raising its fist and landing it on Night.

But heavy ice crystals rose from the ground, blocking his attack.

The continuous glaciers coalesced and appeared, like layers of armor, blocking the path between Minazuki Yoru and the Gedo Mazo. Even though the Gedo Mazo was incredibly powerful and could shatter a layer of ice with each strike, even more ice would condense.

This is the power of map-wide attacks, large-scale area-of-effect (AOE).

The First Hokage of the Warring States period, Hashirama Senju, was able to dominate the world because of his extremely domineering Wood Release's area-of-effect attacks. Not only did he have the support of Hashirama Senju's vast chakra reserves, but he could also absorb the chakra of his targets to maintain his own power.

Life is endless and continuous.

And at this moment, Ye's ice escape technique is also in effect.

Hyōrinmaru possesses the power of celestial phenomena, meaning that everything in the sky is under his control.

At this moment, all the moisture and frost of the entire Land of Iron have transformed into the source of power for Minazuki Yoru. In other words, the opponent that Nagato is controlling the Gedo Mazo at this moment is not Minazuki Yoru, but the climate and weather of the entire Land of Iron!

The glaciers stretched endlessly, and the night made no move; the continuous glaciers blocked the attack of the Outer Path Demon Statue, and countless frosts even covered the Outer Path Demon Statue's body.

During this time, countless ice flowers fell from the sky and landed on the demonic statue of the Outer Path.

Ice flowers fall, and a hundred flowers bloom.

Endless ice flowers completely enveloped the figure of the heretical demon statue. The Ice Heaven Hundred Flowers Burial, which was powerful enough to take away all life, also completely froze the heretical demon statue.

“Click, click, click…”

But the next moment, the endless ice flowers were shattered by the immense force, and the violent figure of the Outer Path Demon Statue broke through the ice layer and roared to the sky.

Nagato roared from inside the golem's mouth, spewing out bloody saliva. He looked like a madman, his gaunt face twitching and twisting in a terrifyingly grotesque manner.

"I am the only god in this world! Die, Minazuki Yoru!!!"

"Interesting. Even the Ice and Flower Burial had no effect?"

Looking at the terrifying demonic statue, a hint of surprise appeared in Night's eyes.

The Gedo Mazo truly lives up to its reputation as the body of the Ten-Tails; describing it as indestructible and unbreakable is no exaggeration.

However, an indestructible demon god does not mean an eternal lifespan. The energy required to activate such a being is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

In ancient Egypt, Simon offered his own soul as a sacrifice to the shrine, summoning the invincible dark wizard Exodia, but ultimately he was defeated by Zorc.

The reason is that his soul simply couldn't sustain Exodia in that level of combat for long.

"So, how many candles do you still have left to burn, Nagato?"

Night's gaze was calm; he didn't even make a move, yet Nagato was already on the verge of a dying candle.

The endless glaciers continued uninterrupted. Even if the Ice and Snow Flower Burial had no effect, the continuous ice layers still disturbed Nagato's mind.

Clearly, he himself already understands this.

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path is indeed indestructible and possesses unparalleled combat power, but he is not.

For every second he manipulates the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, one unit of energy is depleted from his body.

"No, I won't lose, I absolutely won't lose..."

Nagato's body trembled slightly. While muttering to himself, he once again clasped his hands together, squeezing out as much energy as possible from his body.

As Nagato's original power continued to be consumed, the Rinnegan in his eyes shone brightly purple once more.

The demonic statue beneath his feet roared, and a terrifying ball of pale purple chakra suddenly condensed in its mouth!

The next moment, the chakra roared out from the mouth of the Gedo Mazo, transforming into a ferocious purple dragon. It let out a deafening roar in mid-air, its form creating a mighty gale as it soared into the sky, and slammed into Mizuki Yoru.

Chakra Dragon can instantly absorb all the energy of the object it comes into contact with (the original setting was that it would only absorb chakra, but if only chakra was gone, Hanzo's subordinates should not have died on the spot, so it is set to absorb all energy, including soul and life energy).

The Chakra Dragon was incredibly fast, soaring through the sky, crossing glaciers, and arriving in front of Minazuki Yoru in an instant.

Mizuki Yoru's gaze remained calm and composed as he watched the approaching chakra dragon, simply swiping down the Hyōrinmaru in his hand.

The four realms are frozen!

The power of the strongest ice-type Zanpakuto erupted once again at this moment.

"The sealing technique of the Gedo Mazo is indeed powerful; even the tailed beasts cannot withstand its power."

"But it means nothing to me."

Within three steps of the Chakra Dragon reaching Night, its swift speed froze in mid-air, and its dragon head began to be slowly frozen, just like the flames and lightning at the beginning.

"Click, click..."

Frost spread, and the chakra dragon was completely frozen and shattered.

Night's figure vanished instantly, passing through countless glaciers and appearing atop the Gedo Statue.

Looking at Nagato, who was nearly exhausted and had a blank expression, Yoru remained calm as Hyōrinmaru landed on Nagato's neck.

"You have lost, Camille."

"I... lost..."

Nagato stared blankly at Hyōrinmaru, who was so close to him, looking completely lost.

He had already used all his strength, even bringing out the Chakra Dragon (Phantom Dragon Nine Seals), but he was still no match for Mizuki Yoru.

All his moves, all the power he displayed, were like child's tricks in front of this man—pathetic, clownish, and utterly threatening.

He, who considered himself a god, was defeated just like that, utterly and completely defeated.

but.

but……

"Why, why do you, with such power, still become an abuser and a ruler!" The defeated Nagato, his face gaunt and sunken, stared at Minazuki Yoru with a crazed expression and roared, "You clearly possess the power to rule the ninja world, you clearly possess the power of the First Hokage!"

"Didn't you say it yourself back then? If you want peace in the ninja world, you have to do what the First Hokage did and use force to pacify the ninja world, so that the ninja world can have peace, even if it's only for a few decades. Didn't you say all of this yourself? Why didn't you do it!"

Nagato was agitated. He was emaciated from the extreme extraction of his essence, and his eyes were bloodshot from the intense emotional fluctuations. Saliva flew from his mouth, and faintly, blood could be seen seeping out.

“I’ve already been working on it.” Mizuki Yoru sighed softly. “What do you think I convened this Three Kage meeting for? It’s for the peace of the ninja world.”

“Your vision is too narrow. The environment of the Rain Country has limited your vision and understanding. Even if the death of your companion has given you the capacity to break free from worldly shackles, you are still just a frog in a well living in the ‘Rain Country’.”

"In your understanding, or rather, in Yahiko's understanding, the best way for you to achieve peace and prove yourselves is to do what you did to him, who was once a hero of the Land of Rain and was hailed as the demigod Hanzo."

"Using its own strength, it uses force to support the backbone of small countries from among the great powers, thereby achieving regional peace, and then uses that power to secure decades of peace..."

"But I'm different."

Mizuki Yoru spoke calmly: "I saw something higher and farther away. I once thought of using force to unify the world, but later I understood something."

"This world has never been truly unified. Even if all people and all forces were unified by force, those with ulterior motives would inevitably cause this unified world to collapse."

As Ye gazed at Nagato, the words he uttered profoundly impacted the mind of this self-proclaimed god-like, delusional teenager.

"To achieve true domination, conquest alone is not enough."

"Inner beliefs, cultural habits, will and dreams."

"Only by unifying all those things can true rule be truly achieved."

Without the First Emperor's standardization of writing, cart axles, currency, and weights and measures, would the Warring States period have ended so simply?

Only when you and I are indistinguishable from one another will we be truly united!

"..."

Nagato stared blankly at Minazuki Yoru. His mind was foggy and his body felt empty and weak. His overall condition was extremely abnormal.

Even though Minazuki Yoru's voice resounded in his mind like thunder, he didn't have much time to think about her words carefully.

"I……"

"Um?!"

Mizukiyo's eyes suddenly narrowed.

The next moment, a dark figure came into view.

Their gazes met briefly in mid-air. Black Zetsu's pupils, which were impossible to read, suddenly trembled slightly, and an invisible wave enveloped Night.

Ye felt the world before him suddenly change, and an incomparably magnificent figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

It was a magnificent Susanoo, hundreds of meters tall.

It was dressed in the armor of a black tengu, and had wings on its back that blotted out the sky.

To him, even the highest mountain was nothing more than a small hill. With one step, the ground suddenly cracked open with countless fissures, and the whole earth trembled!

This is the complete Susanoo!

Within the crystal on the forehead of the fully-formed Susanoo, there was a domineering figure clad in crimson armor. With just one glance, an aura of supreme dominance swept over one's face, utterly domineering.
