Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

The name "Fierce Eyes" is indeed impressive, but it's simply impossible for him to defeat the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki in a one-on-one situation.

That's an eight-tailed creature!

It seemed that Fugaku Uchiha also realized that his words were not convincing enough. His dark eyes suddenly changed, and in front of Danzo and all the ninjas in the tent, he revealed his Mangekyou Sharingan.

His blood-red eyes were extremely conspicuous in the not-so-spacious tent, and since Fugaku was in the main seat, almost everyone's eyes were on him.

The moment those blood-red eyes were revealed, the vast tent fell into complete silence; you could hear a pin drop.

The Jonin felt a cold and eerie aura emanating from Fugaku's eyes, but the Uchiha Jonin were all stunned at the moment, and then their stunned expressions turned into excitement and agitation, their expressions becoming unbearable.

Danzo suddenly stood up, staring at Fugaku with disbelief, his single eye fixed on him, his whole body even trembling slightly!

"Mangekyou Sharingan... Fugaku, when exactly did you get this?!"

"It was during the time of the Iron Country."

Fugaku spoke in a deep voice: "I opened these eyes after hearing the news of the Fourth Hokage and Kushina's deaths in battle. As you know, Kushina, Mikoto, and I were close friends. I was deeply saddened by their deaths, which is why I opened these eyes."

you fart!

Danzo cursed inwardly.

Kushina and Mikoto are best friends, that's common knowledge in Konoha, but she has a business relationship with you, Uchiha Fugaku.

You think your eyes were opened by the deaths of four generations of a couple?

In my opinion, you've been using a kaleidoscope for a long time, but you've been hiding it and accumulating strength.

Now that the Fourth Hokage and his wife are gone, we are the only few candidates for the Fifth Hokage in the entire Hidden Leaf Village. And now you've revealed your Mangekyou Sharingan!

When he moves, it is as powerful as thunder. What a fierce look he has! What a Fugaku Uchiha!

Danzo was so angry he was almost trembling. He was internally screaming that Fugaku was too cunning, but he couldn't show it on the surface.

This is the Mangekyou Sharingan, the same eye as the First Hokage's Wood Release, which brought peace to the Warring States period!

"Good, good, good. I never expected that Clan Chief Fugaku would have such a trump card. No wonder he was able to take down the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki..."

Danzo forced a smile, no longer doubting Fugaku's words.

First, Madara Uchiha used his Mangekyou Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails and fight Hashirama Senju. Then, the experimental subject from Higashimatsuyama controlled the Nine-Tails to attack Konoha. Fugaku Uchiha used his Mangekyou Sharingan to defeat the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. It all makes perfect sense.

What? You're saying Danzo didn't suspect that Fugaku was controlling the Nine-Tails?

They happened to be in the Land of Iron at that time, so they had a perfect alibi!

but……

"If you include that guy from Higashimatsuyama, then there are two pairs of kaleidoscopes in the world..."

"A pair of Mangekyou Sharingan that hasn't appeared for decades has suddenly appeared in pairs. Is it just a coincidence... or is it because you, Fugaku Uchiha, made a secret deal with that man from Higashimatsuyama that awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

Danzo's single eye was cold and sinister, and his heart was filled with the chirping of crickets.

"Now that I have taken on this responsibility from the Third Hokage, Konoha will not lose this war!"

Having made up his mind, Fugaku revealed his sharp edge. His blood-red kaleidoscope swept across the tent as he coldly declared, "If Kumogakure dares to invade, then let us teach them a lesson they won't forget!"

"Rice Fire!"

"Clan leader!"

Dao Huo, already brimming with excitement, shouted loudly, startling the taciturn You Nu beside him.

"Pass down the order: have the newly arrived support troops take over all the brothers' tasks, consolidate our forces and rest for a day. Tomorrow afternoon, we will launch a preemptive strike and attack Cloud Village!"

"Yes!"

Currently, Konoha's strength is reduced to less than one-tenth after the three wars and the Nine-Tails attack, while Kumogakure's strength loss is almost zero. The two sides are not evenly matched, and Konoha will definitely lose if war breaks out.

But the ninja world is ultimately a place where the strongest at the top decide everything.

During the Third Shinobi World War, Mizuki Yoru single-handedly determined the course of the battle between Kirigakure and Konoha. Now, with the awakening of the Mangekyou Sharingan, Uchiha Fugaku can naturally also single-handedly decide the outcome of this war between Kumogakure and Konoha!

This war can be fought!

Fugaku immediately gave the order, and Danzo and all the high-ranking Jonin present obeyed and slowly left the tent to prepare for battle.

The members of the Uchiha clan remained inside the tent, their eyes burning with fervor as they gazed at Fugaku with barely suppressed rage.

Only after all the Jonin had left could an Uchiha of Fugaku's generation finally contain his excitement and growl, "Clan leader, have you really awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan?!"

"Ah."

"Excellent! This is the power of our ancestors to quell the chaos of the world!"

"Tomorrow I will make sure that the Hidden Cloud Village knows how powerful the Uchiha are!"

"Hahaha, let's drive Kumogakure out of the Land of Fire tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow we'll go back to Konoha and run for Hokage!"

The power of the Mangekyou Sharingan is undeniable for the members of the Uchiha clan. Therefore, after learning that Fugaku had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, almost all the Uchiha present were unable to contain their emotions. Some of them were even talking about what it would be like for the Uchiha to be in charge of Konoha in the future.

What? You're saying there's still a war going on?

Hey, this is a market stall! This is the Mangekyou Sharingan! Do you even know what the Mangekyou Sharingan is?

The mere sand and gravel of the Cloud Hidden Realm are not even a fraction as good as the Fugaku clan chief!

The moment the Mangekyou Sharingan appeared, the members of the Uchiha clan present not only witnessed the defeat of Kumogakure and the complete control of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki by the Mangekyou Sharingan, but also saw Fugaku Uchiha wearing the Hokage hat and the Hokage robe, standing on the top of the Hokage Building!

The Uchiha members were excited, and their fervent emotions made Fugaku somewhat excited as well.

The Uchiha's belligerence flows in their blood and is engraved in their bones. Even though Fugaku was calm and composed, the 'evil Uchiha' in his heart did not diminish in the slightest!

"Tomorrow's battle isn't just for me, it's for you too!"

"Don't worry, clan leader. Tomorrow we'll show those Cloud Village bastards what the Uchiha are all about!"

"Of course, Chieftain! Just watch my performance; I'm going to take on ten tomorrow!"

"You want ten? Then I'll have twenty!"

"Hey, Yare, what are you pretending for? I have fifty!"

"I'll have a hundred!!!"

……

"Initial Release: All Forbidden Seals!"

Mizukage Residence, within the Hidden Mist Village.

With a cold, angry shout, an extremely powerful and terrifying spiritual pressure suddenly erupted from the open ground. Fortunately, there was a special barrier on the surrounding walls, which prevented the terrifying spiritual pressure from dissipating.

Golden light burst forth from the figure with red hair, and even Ye, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but marvel at that special power.

"Another incredibly outrageous Zanpakuto..."

Seeing Kushina Uzumaki finish her training, Yoru Mizuki clapped his hands and stepped into the open space: "It seems you've adapted quite well. Before long, you should be able to officially take over as the captain of the 7th Division."

“Spiritual power and chakra are not so different in some respects, and they are not too difficult to master.”

Kushina Uzumaki sheathed her Zanpakuto and patted the blade: "The only thing I'm not used to is this sword."

Kushina Uzumaki is not skilled in swordsmanship. Her previous fighting style was more about using sealing techniques combined with taijutsu. If she encountered an opponent whose strength was a bit too much, she would use the Nine-Tails' chakra.

Fortunately, her husband's disciple had a father who was a master swordsman, so Kushina was influenced by him and had some basic skills, and she mastered swordsmanship very quickly.

"The Zankenkizoku isn't important. Ultimately, the battles between Shinigami are battles of spiritual pressure, and the Zankenkizoku is just one way for you to release your spiritual pressure," Yoru chuckled.

"Skill is still very important, just like chakra. When practicing ninjutsu, those who have more precise control over chakra can amplify the power of ninjutsu. I suppose spiritual power is the same."

"That's true. We can hone our skills gradually. There's no rush. We still have time."

"Well……"

After exchanging a few words, Kushina Uzumaki also stopped the somewhat awkward conversation and stared intently at Yoru Minazuki.

Mizuki Yoru shook her head helplessly: "Alright, alright, I've brought back all the news from Konoha and Naruto, don't worry."

"What mother wouldn't be anxious about her child, especially since Naruto has just been born!" Kushina shouted, seemingly transforming back into the fiery little pepper she once was in Konoha.

"Alright alright."

Mizuki shrugged.

"There's nothing wrong with Konoha. Tsunade has already led people to assist Konoha. With her there, you can't possibly lose in the war against Kumogakure."

"As for your child..."

"What's wrong with Naruto?!" Kushina asked anxiously.

"Two pieces of bad news." Mizuki Yoru took out a scroll and tossed it to Kushina Uzumaki: "The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, has changed your child's name to Naruto Uzumaki and concealed the identities of his parents."

"Of course, if it's just about protecting Naruto, there's a rumor circulating in Konoha that Naruto is the incarnation of the Nine-Tails... Hmm, you should know very well what it means for the people of Konoha to regard Naruto as the incarnation of the Nine-Tails at this sensitive time."

Sensing Kushina's stunned expression and impending outburst, Mizuki Yoru spoke again: "Please remain calm, because regarding the second piece of news, Hiruzen Sarutobi is merely providing an outlet for the extremely repressed people of Konoha, even if that outlet is the son of the Hokage, the descendant of a hero."

"What do you mean?" Kushina Uzumaki suppressed her anger. "What's the second piece of news?"

"Now that you are a Grim Reaper, you should understand the relationship between the 'physical body,' 'soul,' and 'chakra,' right? If you don't understand, I can let you study it in the secret scroll archives first, so that you won't misunderstand what follows."

Kushina Uzumaki's heart skipped a beat, and her voice became quite sharp: "What exactly are you trying to say! What happened to Naruto!"

"It's nothing, it's just that your child's body contains a reincarnated soul covered by special chakra." Mizuki Yoru looked at the somewhat dazed Uzumaki Kushina and said calmly, "To put it simply..."

"Someone might be trying to possess your child!"

Chapter 166 Uchiha Shisui's Hollowfication Experiment!

Chakra is a special power.

To some extent, chakra doesn't actually exist in the ninja world. It's because of the Otsutsuki clan that they used the Ten-Tails to gather all the power of the ninja world together and ultimately transform it into chakra.

Therefore, the strength of top-tier chakra is extremely high. The chakra wielded by the Sage of Six Paths is even stronger than the spiritual power that Ye currently possesses!

However, the chakra in the ninja world is a product that has been diluted countless times.

However diluted, the essence of chakra cannot be changed. It is a combination of spiritual and physical energy, and naturally contains a person's will, or 'Karma'.

The Sage of Six Paths' Karma!

The Wedge Between Indra and Asura!

In the original work, Indra and Ashura were reincarnated through this high-level chakra. Although it is slightly different from the direct reincarnation of the 'Karma' of the Otsutsuki clan, the principle is the same.

Because Indra and Ashura are also descendants of the Otsutsuki clan!

The reincarnations gradually become identical to Ashura in terms of chakra, body, and mind, eventually transforming into a complete replica of Ashura, thus achieving an alternative resurrection of Ashura and Indra.

"You should understand our future goals. In a way, the Sage of Six Paths is one of them."

"They possess an extremely special power: to replicate and digitize themselves, then inject themselves into the bodies of others, ultimately using the target's body to achieve their own resurrection."

Yoru explained that this was not difficult to understand. Among the learning materials for all the captains of the Seireitei, Yoru had already included some information about the Otsutsuki clan for them to study. Naturally, the Otsutsuki's method of immortality, 'Karma,' was among them.

"Although such words are rather cruel, they are the truth."

Looking at Kushina Uzumaki, whose fists were clenched and who was almost trembling, Yoru said, "As time goes by and Naruto grows up, the compressed file hidden inside Naruto's body will be 'unfrozen' little by little. When all the data is 'unfrozen,' the body of the 'vessel' will be 'replaced' by the data of the Otsutsuki himself, and the existence of the 'vessel' itself will completely disappear. The Otsutsuki himself will thus be resurrected."

"This process is silent and gradual, so even Naruto himself wouldn't notice it. As time goes by, Naruto's own personality will be gradually replaced, and eventually it will completely become the source of chakra hidden within him."

Yoru explained the situation, but Kushina Uzumaki remained silent.

Her face didn't show much anger or shame, but her tightly clenched hands were so tight that her fingernails had dug deep into them, and blood was dripping from them.

A mother, a mother who has just given birth and has placed all her hopes on her child, suddenly learns that her child will be replaced in the future and become a vessel for someone else's resurrection. This is even more unacceptable than being killed!

"Why……"

Kushina Uzumaki stared at Yoru Minazuki, her whole body radiating an inexplicable aura, like a volcano about to erupt, or the oppressive sky before a storm.

"Why Naruto? Why him?!"

"good question!"

Mizuki Yoru nodded: "Based on our current data, the possibility of this happening is higher among descendants of the Six Paths, such as the Senju, Uchiha, Kaguya, and Hyuga clans. Their chakra as 'vessels' would be far greater than that of ordinary people."

"Logically speaking, the probability of Naruto being chosen is very low, but it's not impossible."

“Minato Namikaze is from a commoner family, but you are not. The Uzumaki clan is a close relative of the Senju clan, and they are also descendants of the Six Paths.”

"So the reason lies with you, but this is still puzzling. After all, a mixed-race person can't be as good as a pure-blooded person."

Night spoke in a joking tone, revealing a secret known to almost no one in the ninja world: "But there's something I'm curious about. Why did you and Minato Namikaze name your child 'Naruto'?"
