Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

"I don't want this, Mizuki Yoru! I don't want the Konoha ninjas to know what I'm doing! I'm willing to cooperate!"

"What is this Death Experiment? What are you doing? You're toying with souls!"

"Only by experiencing the edge of life and death can one awaken the Rinnegan... No, it hurts so much, I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."

Countless painful memories kept surfacing before his eyes, one after another, little by little. Starting from scratch, he was gradually forced by Minazuki Yoru from the original Konoha Rising Star, Shisui of the Body Flicker, to where he is now.

His bloodline was studied, his soul was modified, and various experiments were carried out on him one after another. Even life-and-death experiments were carried out on him without hesitation.

Time and again, he was pushed into an abyss by Minazuki Yoru, falling into darkness with no future and no hope.

The only hope in his heart was the so-called 'ruler of chakra' that Minazuki Yoru spoke of, who might appear in the future.

Love is the source of life for the Uchiha clan.

They would give everything for the people and things they love. The love in Uchiha Shisui's heart is the future of the ninja world.

In a way, he did willingly become a tool of the night.

Of course, he had doubts about the authenticity of all this, and he had doubts about Mizuki Yoru, but now, did he have any other choice?

The pain in his heart, everything from the past, was magnified infinitely at this moment. All that he had endured because of 'love' and 'protection' seemed to solidify into a monstrous, twisted monster that emerged in his heart and tore at his body and mind.

The monster looked like countless versions of himself pieced together, with countless limbs and organs, and blood-red Sharingan and pale purple Rinnegan covering its entire body, but there was a hollow gap in its chest cavity.

It seems as if it has no 'heart'.

“Uchiha…Shisui…”

The monster, drool dripping from its mouth, walked step by step toward Zhi Shui.

Shisui looked somewhat terrified, backing away helplessly, and even stumbled and fell in the pitch-black space.

"No, no, don't..."

"Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"

In Shisui's desperate and terrified gaze, the ferocious monster grinned and pounced.

And in the outside world.

The white substance on Uchiha Shisui's body continued to grow, eventually enveloping his entire body.

As the white substance continues to cover and spread, Shisui's human appearance is gradually fading away.

Its limbs became twisted, and the skin on its limbs began to peel off, turning into jet-black feathers. The hideous white mask began to bulge forward, turning into a long beak. Its appearance was quite similar to that of the medieval raven doctor.

Most strikingly, a jet-black wing had sprouted from its back!

“Roar, roar, roar, roar!!”

The twisted monster stood up and let out a shrill roar.

"Did it fail because it couldn't withstand the power of the void...?"

Yu Mei asked in a low voice, "Lord Ye, what should we do next?"

"The ability to become intangible is actually quite similar to the Uchiha clan awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan. Ultimately, it's about controlling negative emotions, which is why I chose Uchiha Shisui."

"Hating their own powerlessness, hating the distortion of this world, and then transforming that anger and hatred into their endless power—this is the 'love' power of the Uchiha clan. And before this power erupts, it must endure far too much pain."

“I believe in the power of ‘love’ within Shisui’s heart. He has the potential to achieve Hollowfication and is capable of doing so.”

"However, we can't let him do anything reckless during this process."

Night looked at the invisible space beside her: "Go and bump into him."

"Go and deal with a beast that has no self-awareness?"

A dark, humanoid figure appeared in the space beside Ye, speaking indifferently, seemingly disdainful of Uchiha Shisui, who was exuding terrifying spiritual power below.

"Although it lacks rationality, its quality is high enough, isn't it?" Night said softly. "Feel the power of a Shinigami who wields the power of the Hollow. This should be of great help to you in mastering the power of the Shinigami in the future."

"whispering sound……"

The dark figure let out a soft hum, and its form suddenly disappeared from Ye's side, appearing in front of the ethereal Shisui who was howling at the sky.

It was a humanoid figure with white skin and black wings, and a pair of white horns growing from the sides of its head. It looked completely different from ordinary Hollows, and even more like a 'human' than Uchiha Shisui at this moment.

His name was 'Number One,' a name bestowed upon him by the night.

It is the first and currently the only Vasto Lorde in Hueco Mundo!

The eyes of the two inhuman monsters met in that instant.

Although devoid of reason, the Hollow's instincts drove Black Crow Shisui to charge toward Number One without hesitation. The terrifying speed unleashed by his dark figure was comparable to the Shinigami's Shunpo.

But it didn't work.

No matter how fast it is, it can never be faster than a sound that can traverse space.

Black Crow Still Water's attack missed the moment it was about to touch Number One. In the blink of an eye, Number One appeared beside Black Crow Still Water, and sharp claws, like blades, fell precisely towards his neck.

dang!

The sound of metal clashing rang out, and Number One's expression gradually became serious.

Just as Tong Ye said, although this guy has no rationality at all, his numerical strength is ridiculously high. Just by becoming ethereal, the 'steel skin' formed by his body has already surpassed his own.

What immense spiritual pressure that was!

"The power to break boundaries..."

A red light flashed in Number One's eyes, and his previously somewhat bored interest soared to new heights in an instant: "The boundary between Hollows and Shinigami, the sublimation of power—how could a fool like you be chosen by Lord Night for these things!"

A vast and terrifying spiritual pressure erupted from Number One's body, and a special dark green spiritual power continuously condensed in front of him, like the Nine-Tailed Fox's Hollow Dog Cannon, blasting towards Black Crow Shisui.

The Cero erupted, and the surging energy caused a violent explosion on Jingwu Island, filling the air with thick smoke and dust. However, in just an instant, the smoke and dust were completely blown away by Number One, revealing the unharmed Black Crow Still Water, which was covered and concealed by a pile of rubble.

This level of physical strength and physique made the red light in Number One's eyes even more dazzling.

Black Crow Still Water, somewhat bewildered, pushed away the rubble covering him.

Although he was unconscious, his biological instincts made him understand what had happened, and in an instant, he locked onto the presence of Number One.

Monsters that only know how to kill and devour have their instincts constantly aroused when they see enemies and prey.

An extremely terrifying spiritual pressure erupted from his body, as if even the heavens and earth trembled at that moment.

"Roar!!"

A furious roar, like thunder, echoed across Jingwu Island.

Under this spiritual pressure, a look of horror appeared on Number One's face, and even Yumi in the sky showed a look of disbelief.

"This level of increase..."

"This is normal data."

Night's expression remained calm: "The Shinigami's Shikai and Bankai can increase their spiritual pressure by more than ten times. After breaking the boundary between Shinigami and Hollow, their spiritual pressure can naturally be sublimated several times again."

"Although Shisui has not yet fully mastered the power of 'Hollow', his spiritual pressure alone is now at least several times greater than before."

"Damn..."

The red light in Number One's eyes faded somewhat under this spiritual pressure.

Seemingly sensing something, his expression changed slightly, and his figure suddenly disappeared. At the instant his voice rang out, Black Crow Still Water opened his ferocious long beak, and a huge phantom, hundreds of feet long, shot out with a bang.

The pitch-black Cero contained terrifying destructive power. The Cero missed its target and shot straight into the sky, like a magnificent beam of light that reached the heavens and the earth!

Without a doubt, if Number One were hit, even if he were Vastod, he would be seriously injured.

"How could someone like you obtain such terrifying power..."

"Do not make jokes!"

Having narrowly escaped death by using the sound of the spinning top, Number One stared intently at Black Crow Still Water.

Under the compression of spiritual energy, dark green light condensed in Number One's palm, and a terrifying pressure that could stop a heart from beating emanated from it.

boom--

An intensely dark green flash ripped through the sky and landed heavily on Black Crow Still Water.

Under the magnificent light, the whole world seemed to lose its luster, turning into a dark green, and the extreme compression of spiritual energy even distorted space.

Wang Xu’s flash!

"Rumble..."

With a deafening explosion, the spot where Black Crow Still Water had been standing completely crumbled. Terrifying energy continuously pulverized everything, and a crater nearly a hundred meters wide appeared in an instant.

After unleashing his ultimate move, Number One was slightly out of breath, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

"Foolish fellow, you have spiritual pressure but nothing..."

"Buzz!"

In an instant, alarm bells rang in Number One's mind, and he suddenly felt a terrifying sense of crisis.

That feeling was like the chilling sixth sense he had experienced many times on the brink of death in Hueco Mundo, a world filled with endless crises where only fighting and devouring could ensure survival and growth.

That was a sign of impending death!

A sharp wind surged, and spiritual pressure gathered. In an instant, a dark figure appeared behind him.

Number One's expression changed drastically. As a sense of danger rose in his heart, he felt something was wrong. However, Black Crow Still Water's speed was too fast, so fast that he didn't even have a chance to react before appearing behind him.

puff!

The sound of flesh being pierced rang out; even Vastod's steel skin could not stop Black Raven's terrifying offensive.

Under Number One's horrified gaze, Black Crow Still Water's claws pierced through his chest, while another claw gripped Number One's arm, its long beak pointing directly at Number One's face, gathering dark spiritual energy!

False flash!

Close your face and open it up!

The explosive Cero shattered Number One's chest and hurtled towards the sea behind him.

Wherever it passed, the waves parted to avoid it, until a stunning explosion occurred on the distant coastline.

With the splashing of waves, Number One collapsed helplessly onto the blood-stained beach.

His chest was almost completely gone, replaced by a huge, gaping hole, and blood was constantly gushing from his mouth. The previous blow had shattered all his internal organs.

That level of injury is incurable even with super-fast regeneration; he's barely clinging to life.

Black Crow Still Water's figure shot over from a distance and landed in front of Number One in an instant. Its long beak opened wide towards Number One's body, and a huge suction force burst out from it.

In Number One's despairing and dim eyes, under the indifferent gaze of Night and Yumi, everything Number One possessed was completely devoured by the long beak of Black Crow Shisui!

"Ho ho ho!!"

The ferocious monster was unstoppable, its blood-red, eerie gaze even fixed on the night sky above, roaring and howling.

"The combat power is excellent, but the controllability is a big problem."

Yumi said softly, "If Uchiha Shisui's consciousness cannot regain control of this body, a beast devoid of intelligence and driven only by instinct is even less valuable than 'Number One'."

"Moreover, if someone with this level of destructive power, who only possesses instincts, were to go to the ninja world, it would likely be a catastrophe for the entire ninja world!"

An indestructible steel shell, super-fast regeneration even stronger than a Sage Mode body, a Cero resembling a Tailed Beast Ball...

Black Crow Shisui's fighting power seems to be a bit too much for the current ninja world. In Yumi's opinion, even the former ninja world's Asura Uchiha Madara or the ninja god Senju Hashirama might not be able to stop this guy in a one-on-one situation.

"Don't worry, that won't happen."

The current ninja world suits Ye's wishes perfectly, so of course he wouldn't break this situation himself.

Seeing that Black Crow Shisui had targeted him and even attacked him, Ye smiled slightly and pointed a finger at the swooping Black Crow Shisui.

"The fires of the ninety-six capitals were extinguished."

A second later, without even a gesture of resistance, the attacking Black Crow Still Water was forcibly sealed by an irresistible and terrifying force.

In an instant, a huge three-pronged skeleton fell from the sky and landed on the ravaged, battle-scarred beach.

No matter how powerful the power of the Grim Reaper is, how can it contend against the power of Yoru, the Lord of Death?

"Stay put in here until your consciousness turns upside down, Shisui-kun."

Ye snapped his fingers, and the huge sealed skeleton that had fallen on the beach disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Um?!"

At that moment, Ye suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sky.
