Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

Their eyes met in mid-air. Looking at the Rinnegan that involuntarily appeared in Shisui's eyes, Mizuki Yoru's face showed a gentle smile.

"I knew you wouldn't let me down, Shisui."

"The fusion of Hollow and Shinigami breaks the boundaries of power, achieving a perfect fusion that transcends the level of power. Just feeling the spiritual pressure emanating from you is like seeing some rare treasure."

"Was your experiment... a success...?"

"That's natural, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to break free of the seal, would you?"

With a broad smile, Mizuki Yoru took out a scroll and tossed it over.

Not yet fully accustomed to the water, Zhishui subconsciously took it.

"As a reward for your hard work, I have completed all the tasks you entrusted to me. Not only that, I have also given you some extra services."

"Additional services..."

"It's not really my fault for giving it to you. It's just that after I completed all your requests, things gradually turned out this way." Minazuki Yoru shrugged, gesturing for Shisui to open the scroll and see what had happened.

Shisui shook his head violently to forcefully wake his drowsy mind before opening the scroll in his hand and examining it carefully.

The scroll contained few but detailed contents, including how Seireitei helped Konoha fight against Kumogakure, and the subsequent changes in Fugaku Uchiha, who unleashed his Susanoo and caused everything that happened in Konoha at this stage.

"The Uchiha clan... are going to become Hokage?!"

"Although it hasn't happened yet, it's very likely. Unless Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others can unite as one and let Danzo become Hokage, Fugaku Uchiha should have a sure thing in this election, barring any unforeseen circumstances."

Yoru shrugged and said, "However, we can't rule out the possibility that Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others might join forces to support Danzo. If that happens, it could be a fierce battle between dragons and tigers."

"What, you just woke up and learned of this news? Did any unusual thoughts come to mind?"

"What do you mean by that?" Shisui frowned deeply. "You think I would help the Uchiha?"

"Who knows? It's your choice."

Ye casually said, "By the way, during the time you were breaking through, many Uchiha in the village were already able to speak and even walk."

"If you're not interested in the mess that's happening in Konoha, I have a job for you."

"...What is it?"

"Don't look so worried, Shisui. It's nothing difficult; it's a perk for you." Ye smiled and took out another scroll, tossing it to Shisui: "This is the summoning scroll from Shadow Island. I hope you can get all the Kirigakure Uchiha to sign their contracts on this scroll to facilitate the next phase of my plan."

Zhi Shui took the scroll, his brows furrowed.

As for signing contracts, Mizuki Yoru could have simply given the order for the Anbu to complete them. Why specifically ask me to do it? Is he trying to use the Hidden Mist Uchiha clan to restrict me and force me to abandon the Konoha Uchiha clan?

Furthermore, the Shadow Isles and the next phase of the plan...

Shisui opened the scroll in his hand; it was completely empty, without a single name on it.

Is this a special summoning system specifically set up for the Uchiha clan of Kirigakure?

"For specific details, you can ask Kurihara Kushimaru."

Kushimaru Kurihara is the vice-captain of the Second Division. Although he is quite distant from Shisui, it is reasonable for the captain to ask the vice-captain if he doesn't understand something.

Shisui silently accepted the scroll in his hand, then looked at the night.

I used to do random things to perk myself up, but now, it's time to get down to business!

"I'm not yet able to control this power very well," Shisui said.

"It doesn't matter. Although this place is part of Hueco Mundo, due to some special circumstances, there isn't even a trace of Hollows on this island," Night said softly. "So, there's no need to think too much about it. Just unleash your power."

"...Is that so?"

Uchiha Shisui looked at Mizuki Yoru with a complicated expression, took a deep breath, and became solemn.

"Then please feel this power."

"This... power that has broken through boundaries..."

Shisui drew his Zanpakuto from his waist, and a terrifying aura instantly surged forth from his body.

Completely different from the terrifying oppression of the past, the black spiritual power burned away the color of the entire world like wildfire, and the surging aura seemed to be domineeringly tearing the entire world apart and devouring it!

Amidst the dark fluctuations of spiritual energy, even those pale purple, noble eyes were tinged with a dark red light.

Shisui stared intently at Mizukiyo, his violent spiritual energy exploding and surging forth in the blink of an eye, shrouding the entire island in layers of black mist.

"So……"

boom!

An unparalleled pressure emanated from the figure, which was covered in dark red energy but whose body was deathly pale.

Everything in the entire sky seemed to be compressed and crushed in that instant, and the ground beneath our feet also cracked and crumbled!

Under the surging black and red spiritual pressure, a bone mask began to grow on his face. As his spiritual power continued to rise, the area covered by the bone mask expanded from his left eye until it covered his entire face.

As Ye looked on in astonishment, the whole world seemed to stand still for a moment.

"Hollowfication Bankai".

His voice was like the howl of an evil god, the shriek of the dead!

"A clear mirror, still water; a bright moon and gentle breeze!"

A dark red spiritual pressure tsunami surged forth from the tip of Shisui's Zanpakuto, and in that instant, the entire world seemed to be completely enveloped, suppressed, and sealed off by this power!

"What incredible power!"

Feeling the spiritual power emanating from Shisui's body, the excitement in Ye's eyes was beyond words.

Hollowfication Bankai, double boost.

A tenfold increase in spiritual power!

"Come on, let me see your power, Shisui!"

"Roar!!!"

Chapter 184 Hollowfication of Still Water! The Ninety-Sixth Chapter of the Breaking Path: One-Sword Cremation!

A surge of spiritual energy erupted into the sky, filling countless Gillian and Adjuchas in Hueco Mundo with terror.

Even from a great distance, they still felt a tremor in their souls from this level of spiritual pressure. If they were to come into contact with it any further, their spiritual bodies would probably shatter and break apart immediately.

Fortunately, Hueco Mundo is large enough that countless Hollows fled from Jingwu Island as if they were escaping, trying to get as far away from that terrifying region as possible, for fear of being caught in the crossfire.

The eyes of the Adjuchas who had already acquired wisdom were filled with terror and disbelief.

This power was far superior to even that of the former King of Hueco Mundo, the 'Number One' who had broken through to the Vasto Lorde realm.

What...what is that thing?!

"The Shinigami devours the power of the Hollows, thereby breaking the soul boundary between the Shinigami and the Hollows and achieving an evolution in their 'soul'."

Looking at the violent, ethereal stillness emanating a terrifying aura that seemed poised to destroy the entire world, Ye nodded in satisfaction: "Although this violent emotion may influence one's thinking to some extent, as long as one does not completely unleash their power, rationality can still be initially preserved."

"You've probably only used a portion of your power right now, Shisui-kun."

"I'm afraid of completely destroying Hueco Mundo..."

Uchiha Shisui, wearing a blurred mask, stared intently at Mizuki Yoru. The rage, violence, madness, and anger that surged in his mind were frantically eroding his will, as if countless people were whispering in his ear.

Tear this guy to shreds!

Chop it up! Cut it open! Mince it!

Destroy this greatest enemy in your heart, skin him alive and tear him apart, let him experience ten thousand times the pain you have endured!

"There's no need to worry like that. Hueco Mundo is a wasteland, isn't it? As long as enough souls are invested, even if this place is destroyed ten thousand times, it will still be restored to its original state."

Ye spoke calmly, as if the world beneath his feet was insignificant to him.

"You just need to unleash the power within you to the fullest extent possible, maximizing your power before your sanity collapses."

"Besides, you're probably about to lose control of your impulse too."

Mizuki Yoru smiled as she looked at Shisui, who was staring intently at her, and said softly, "That anger, that violence, that urge to tear me apart completely."

"you……"

The look in Shisui's eyes was quite gloomy.

He knew, of course, that Ye understood the anger and hatred he felt towards him. If he could, he wouldn't have much of an emotional reaction, not even if the entire Hidden Mist Village were destroyed, let alone the Hueco Mist beneath his feet. At most, he would feel a little regret for the mixed-blood Uchiha descendants he had created with his energy.

What he wanted to do was to conceal his true abilities!

When people possess great power, they often conceal it, using it as a trump card or a last resort. They reserve it for use in future crises or life-or-death situations to turn the tide of battle.

The power of etherealization is undeniably formidable; the increase in power is almost several times greater than his previous strength.

In Shisui's view, if he wanted to, none of the captains, including Hozuki Gengetsu, could stand a chance against him in his Hollowfied form!

But not enough.

Before gaining even greater power, and before finding an opportunity to kill Mizuki Yoru, what Uchiha Shisui naturally wanted was to conceal his current power as much as possible.

but now……

“It’s not good for people to keep things bottled up. The Uchiha clan has a distorted and twisted way of thinking. But in this world, you can’t freely show your power.” Mizuki Yoru said softly, “What I’m giving you now is a rare opportunity to unleash your power. You should seize it.”

Should we seize the opportunity...?

indeed.

Since we can't hide our shortcomings, we might as well seize this opportunity.

Amidst the surging spiritual pressure, Uchiha Shisui had already detected everything around him. Apart from Hollows, there was no spiritual pressure from any other Shinigami in the entire Hueco Mundo.

In other words, at this stage, there is indeed only one person in this place: Minazuki Yoru.

So……

Seize this opportunity and kill this guy!

"That's the look in your eyes, Shisui-kun."

"The power of etherealization is the power of emotions. Do not suppress the anger and murderous intent within you; it can maximize your current power."

"...You'll regret this, Minazuki Yoru."

The dark red spiritual pressure around Uchiha Shisui surged even more violently, and the pale purple Rinnegan beneath the mask had even turned dark red!

He slowly covered his eyes, as if he had made up his mind, and his emotions seemed to be relieved at that moment.

"To be honest, I have thought about this for a long time. To you, I may just be a pawn on your road to success. You have never seen me, nor have you ever seen the Uchiha or Konoha."

“I understand what you’re thinking. Your goal is this world, and those unknown beings in the heavens… For both reason and emotion, I should follow in your footsteps. After all, without you, I wouldn’t have been able to gain this power.”

"But sometimes, hostility cannot be explained simply by whether or not we understand it. Sometimes, when facing others, it is indeed necessary to unleash one's killing intent, even without any reason."

"Call me stupid, call me narrow-minded, or even short-sighted and inconsiderate of the big picture, it doesn't matter!"

The raging dark red spiritual pressure surged even higher in that instant.

Under Yoru's astonished gaze, the entire world seemed to be filled with and shaken by the burst of Shisui's spiritual pressure!

"You're right, I've long since been unable to suppress the chilling killing intent surging within me towards you, Minazuki Yoru!"

"It's not because of everything you've done—to me, to the Uchiha, to Konoha, to the entire ninja world—but simply because I want to kill you. I want to follow my heart's desires and thoughts. I want to skin you alive and tear you apart, both your body and your soul. I want to utterly crush you!"

Uchiha Shisui's Rinnegan eyes turned even more blood red, and his aura surged to its peak in that instant.

At the same time, everything in the world covered by his spiritual pressure came to a standstill.

The flowing seawater, the gentle sea breeze, and the creatures burrowing among the sand and gravel.

Plants, animals, and inorganic matter.

Everything, including space and time, was frozen in that instant, just like a photograph being taken and forever captured in a frame.

Throughout the entire world, within all areas covered by Shisui's spiritual pressure, only Uchiha Shisui was able to move!

This is his Bankai!

A clear mirror, still water; a bright moon and gentle breeze!

……

As the strongest fighter in the Gotei 13 besides Minazuki Yoru, the second division captain Uchiha Shisui's combat power is beyond doubt.

Not only does he possess Mangekyou Sharingan techniques such as 'Temporary Kotoamatsukami', 'Amaterasu', and 'Susanoo', but he also has unparalleled ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, and the power of the Rinnegan.
