Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

In addition, Shisui also mastered the sword technique of Kisou in the Bleach faction, and the power of his Zanpakuto was incredibly abnormal.

At the moment Shisui unleashed his Bankai, all areas covered by spiritual pressure were frozen in time, and even Minazuki Yoru's figure was tinged with a grayish-white hue.

The next moment, Shisui's figure instantly appeared behind Yoru, and his Zanpakuto, covered in black and red spiritual pressure, slashed down at Yoru's neck.

In the blink of an eye, Ye's figure vanished from the spot, leaving him empty-handed.

"what?!"

A look of surprise appeared in Shisui's eyes.

"Among all the Shinigami who are currently capable of being unleashed, Jiyue's abilities are enough to rank her in the top three."

Night's figure appeared a dozen meters away, and the gray-white light on its body was fading away at a visible speed.

"Shikai 'Radiant Sun, Disturbing Spirits; Clear Moon, Wicked Heart.' This ability grants control over the five senses within a wide area. It's quite similar to a Zanpakuto I remember. Although it's slightly weaker than that sword, combined with your eyes, your Shikai ability is enough to make you stand out from the crowd."

"And your Bankai ability, 'Mirror Still Water, Clear Moon and Gentle Breeze,' is even more special."

Shisui's Bankai looks like time stop, but it is not. Instead, it uses spiritual power to manipulate the flow of time within the area covered by the spiritual power, thus achieving an effect similar to time stop.

This ability is somewhat similar to Kabuto's Clock Up, which manipulates light particles to control the passage of time and then moves it at high speed; and also to the Speed ​​Force.

The specific intensity depends on the strength of Zhishui's own spiritual power.

"You should know this, Shisui."

Yoru rested his left hand on the hilt of Hyōrinmaru's sword, his tone calm: "The battle between Shinigami is, in the final analysis, a battle of spiritual pressure."

"After you become Hollowfied, your spiritual pressure will be like a beacon or a firefly to other Shinigami."

"But for someone as bright as me as the moon, it is still far too much."

"Stop looking down on people!"

Swish!

Even if the Bankai ability fails, the boost to spiritual power after Bankai is real!

Uchiha Shisui, holding the Moonlit Blade, vanished from his spot in an instant. His movement speed was far faster than Shunpo, and he appeared behind Mizuki Yoru in a flash.

As the surging spiritual energy flowed into his eyes, and he activated the Sage's Eye with vast spiritual power, a repulsive force suddenly burst forth from Uchiha Shisui's palm.

"Oh my god!"

"boom!!"

In an instant, a massive storm swept everything away, and the air twisted into patches of shimmering white light.

But the moment that repulsive force touched the night, it was as if it had come into contact with an unshakeable mountain. The world seemed to freeze at the instant the two touched.

The unstoppable repulsive force, like a raging tornado about to sweep away everything, crashed violently into Minazuki Yoru, emitting a piercing shriek.

No matter how powerful the repulsive force was, Minazuki Yoru's figure was like an unshakeable pillar of the world.

Nothing works.

Seeing this, Uchiha Shisui showed no reaction on his face, but instead immediately released another ability of the Rinnegan.

"All things are attracted by heaven!"

While resisting the repulsive force, it is attracted by the gravitational force. The two completely different forces are released one after the other, and even the most powerful beings will be somewhat flustered as a result.

But Ye's figure did not move at all, as if an invisible barrier covered his body, resisting all external forces, whether repulsive or attractive.

"You guy..."

Zhi Shui understood in an instant.

At this moment, Minazuki Yoru is not resisting Shinra Tensei and Bansho Ten'in, but rather 'blocking' them from the outside!

Regardless of the strength, ability, or characteristics of these things, if they cannot even make contact with the target, then these abilities will lose all their effectiveness.

"Isn't the power of your Zanpakuto to control ice?!"

"Hyōrinmaru is indeed my Zanpakutō, and I am very satisfied with its power." Yoru made no attempt to conceal anything and said calmly, "If I were to unleash it, as the strongest ice-type Zanpakutō, it could easily freeze you under my power."

"But that would prevent me from testing your changes, so I've chosen a better way to fight."

Facing the incredulous look in Uchiha Shisui's eyes behind his ethereal mask, Mizuki Yoru smiled kindly and said.

The feeling was like looking at a brand new toy, a toy that had just been acquired and hadn't yet been played with or explored.

"Of course, if you are really strong enough to make me draw my sword, I will be very pleased."

"Night! A moonless night!"

Enraged, Uchiha Shisui let out an almost beastly howl, and his dark red spiritual power surged forth once more. The ethereal mask on his face, belonging to Fugaku, twisted and developed countless dark red patterns, making him look even more ferocious and terrifying.

Similarly, the aura emanating from him also surged dramatically!

"Interesting, so you've entered a higher level of etherealization?"

The surprise in Ye's eyes grew even stronger.

The ability to blur is like the Sharingan; it's a Pandora's box.

Once this magic core is activated, the user can draw upon a continuous source of power.

Starting with the single tomoe, then moving to the double tomoe, triple tomoe, and eventually the Kaleidoscope, Eternal Eye, and so on, the power of Hollowfication is also graded.

The higher the level of etherealization, the more severe the damage to the user's consciousness will be. Of course, if the user's willpower is strong enough, it can be completely controlled. Once this rampaging energy is completely controlled, the user's combat power will double.

At this moment, Uchiha Shisui was in the second stage of intangibility.

The rampage phase is about to begin!

Without even flashing, Uchiha Shisui roared and appeared behind Mizuki Yoru, attacking him like a wild beast.

Ye did not dodge, but instead grabbed the long sword that Shisui was about to slash at his neck.

clang———!

The blade struck the palm, producing a soft clang like metal clashing.

The surging spiritual energy swept through the air, scattering the dust that was flying within a radius of tens of meters. The next moment, Ye's other hand, like a sharp bayonet, easily pierced into Shisui's chest.

Zhi Shui's eyes widened in anger, his spiritual power surged, and he suddenly released his grip on Ji Yue, followed by a burst of intense heat.

Immediately afterwards, a pillar of fire shot into the sky, piercing through the entire Jingwu Island like a sharp blade.

"Hado No. 96!"

"One-stroke cremation!"

Chapter 185 The Bright Moon and Fireflies: The Election of the Fifth Hokage

"Hado No. 96: One-Sword Cremation!"

The instant Yoru pierced his chest, Uchiha Shisui suddenly grabbed Yoru's arm with one hand, ensuring that Yoru could not dodge his next attack.

At the same time, the spiritual power that had been condensed to the extreme suddenly erupted in this instant, and the most powerful Dao Breaking Technique he had mastered at this stage was suddenly released in this instant!

"what?"

A look of astonishment appeared in Ye's eyes. The next moment, a towering flame burst forth from the ground, with Uchiha Shisui and Mizuki Yoru at its core, igniting a terrifying pillar of fire that resembled the end of the world, causing the earth to crack.

The towering pillar of fire, like a sharp blade, pierced through the entire Jingwu Island. The intense heat devoured everything, even distorting the very space itself.

"Then, what is that..."

Countless people stared in terror at the fiery blade that seemed to cleave the world in two, feeling that they would not be able to withstand the attack head-on, or even just get close to it, or their spirits would collapse.

A burst of flames appeared, and a figure materialized to the side.

Uchiha Shisui stood panting in mid-air, his left hand hanging limply, his eyes cold and fierce.

The Ninety-Sixth Demonic Path of the Demonic Path, One-Sword Cremation, is currently the highest level of Demonic Path he has mastered, and also the most destructive skill, bar none.

This Kido is particularly devastating, a super sacrificial Kido that can only be released by burning one's own limbs to a crisp as a sacrifice, burning everything in its path with a pillar of blazing, blade-like heat. Even among the current captains of the Gotei 13, very few can control this Kido.

If an ordinary person were to perform this act, they would inevitably suffer the consequences of their limbs being burned to ashes. Fortunately, he is not an ordinary person.

In just a few breaths, Shisui's aura gradually calmed down. Not only was his chest, which had been pierced by Mizuki Yoru, filled with healing energy, but even his charred arm was restored.

Hyper-fast regeneration—this is a power that only a Hollow can wield!

"By utilizing their super-fast regeneration ability after becoming intangible, they can maximize their explosive power. The Uchiha clan's combat wisdom is indeed sharp."

The flat voice made the look in Shisui's eyes even more gloomy.

As the flames gradually dissipated, an unharmed figure emerged from them. This result caused Uchiha Shisui's pupils to shrink suddenly, and his fists to clench tightly.

"Even Ninety-Six's One-Sword Cremation technique had no effect..."

"Don't be surprised. Your power is like a turbulent stream, but when it hits the ocean, it naturally won't create many waves." Night smiled gently as he looked at the ethereal Shisui: "However, I am quite satisfied with your performance. At least now you have the skill to wield your sword against those from beyond the heavens."

"Well then, welcome back to the team, my Second Division Captain."

"...You guy."

Uchiha Shisui looked at Mizuki Yoru with a complicated expression. Even though he had revealed such overwhelming killing intent, how could this guy still say such a calm thing as returning to the team?

Isn't he afraid of becoming the rotten apple in the whole barrel, the biggest traitor to the entire Seireitei?!

Or……

I am nothing more than an insignificant clown.

It should be the latter, since even if he used all his strength, he couldn't even budge the hem of Mizuki Yoru's clothes.

With such a disparity between heaven and earth, between the bright moon and fireflies, what makes me think I could possibly attract the attention of Mizukiyo?

"How... ironic."

Uchiha Shisui gave a self-deprecating laugh: "Should I be grateful for your kindness?"

"If you are sincere, I am quite looking forward to it."

"……hehe."

……

The test of the ethereal state of Shisui has basically passed. After entering the ethereal state, Shisui's power will be enhanced several times in all aspects, but his rationality and thinking ability will be reduced sharply. However, if he can control it, then the ethereal state can become a simple means of power enhancement.

Well, large-scale experiments are not possible yet. After all, even Shisui, who possesses the Rinnegan, almost couldn't withstand it, so you can imagine how it was for the other Shinigami captains.

Ye wasn't in a hurry. After returning to Kirigakure, he handed Shisui's research report to Yumi and also gave Shisui a small reward—he only needed to cooperate with Yumi to conduct research experiments on ethereal data for a short period of time.

After recording most of the data, Shisui headed towards his Kirigakure Uchiha base, but he hadn't taken more than a few steps when a fiery red figure blocked his way.

"You are……"

Staring at that familiar face, Shisui's eyes widened: "Lady Kushina?!"

"Let's talk."

Kushina Uzumaki looked at the once-produce Uchiha genius in front of her, who was incredibly young but whose expression betrayed his weariness, and sighed softly, "Let's talk about Konoha, let's talk about us."

"This……"

Uchiha Shisui was slightly taken aback, naturally understanding that the "we" that Uzumaki Kushina spoke of was not just the two of them.

There were other people at the party.

Who is it?

Shisui caught up with Kushina Uzumaki.

He was actually quite familiar with Kushina, not only because he and Minato Namikaze were once considered the twin stars of Konoha, but also because Minato Namikaze had a member of the Uchiha clan under his command.

Uchiha Obito.

Although it's hard to judge that guy's current identity and everything he's done, Shisui had quite a bit of contact with Kushina Uzumaki back when everyone was in Konoha.

The two walked one after the other, and although they did not use the Instant Step to run, their foot speed was not slow.

In a short while, the two arrived at Kushina's residence.

The door opened, and the several figures inside surprised Zhi Shui.

"Lady Tsunade, and... Lord Orochimaru?"

"Uchiha Shisui, the true genius of the Uchiha clan." Orochimaru licked his lips, his vertical snake eyes flashing with fierce interest: "I have reviewed all the experimental logs since the Fourth Hokage took office. Without you, Kirigakure's bloodline experiments and soul experiments probably would not have progressed so quickly."

"…Thanks for the compliment."
