Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

Fugaku said in a low voice, "I didn't expect the Fourth Raikage's fighting power to be so high, plus the two perfect Jinchuriki, so..."

"Battles between ninjas of your caliber are ultimately battles of intelligence. Your intelligence has already been placed on the desks of the Hidden Cloud Village. Even if the recovery of your eye power caught them somewhat off guard, that's all they have to offer."

"On the other hand, you know almost nothing about the Raikage's side."

As Yoru looked at the Fourth Raikage, who was frozen in ice, he did not completely erase his life force, but merely froze his movements with ice.

Although Kumogakure is not as special as Konoha in terms of ninjas, it is still one of the Five Great Nations.

Moreover, the Raikage holds an extremely special position in Kumogakure and the Land of Lightning, comparable to the Mizukage in Kirigakure and the Land of Water, and rarely receives interference from elders or advisors.

Night has always been willing to show its benevolent side to these rulers who control large populations and wield immense influence in their countries.

"I was too arrogant, Lord Ye."

Fugaku lowered his head, suppressing the maniacal Uchiha bloodline within him that had been awakening for less than three minutes.

Night smiled and looked at the frozen Raikage: "What do you plan to do with them?"

“Of course I’ll go straight…” Fugaku said instinctively, but the words he was about to say changed when he saw the subtle expression on Yoru’s face with his Sharingan’s super-strong perception. He then said, “Of course I’ll follow your arrangements, Lord Yoru.”

Under normal circumstances, Fugaku would have naturally killed the Fourth Raikage on the spot to establish Konoha's absolute advantage in the war and weaken Kumogakure's fighting power to the greatest extent possible.

At the very least, we must capture them and bring them back to Konoha to boost the morale of the Konoha ninjas. We can then use this to blackmail Kumogakure, thereby ending the war, securing victory, and extracting a sum of money from Kumogakure.

But if Minazuki Yoru were here...

Fugaku has always been a smart man, which is why he was chosen by Minazuki Yoru and has risen to his current position.

"Is that so?" Ye showed a satisfied expression; he enjoyed chatting with intelligent people. "In that case, I'll take them and leave first. You tidy things up and then go to the front lines to stabilize the situation."

"Yes, Lord Ye."

Under the rather complicated gaze of Fugaku Uchiha, Yoru, along with the frozen Fourth Raikage and two perfect Jinchuriki, vanished from the spot.

Senju Kazematsu, standing in the distance, seemed to want to say something, but ultimately kept quiet.

If it weren't for Mizuki Yoru, they would not only have been in mortal danger, but the entire Hidden Leaf Village might have been destroyed because of it.

Now that Minazuki Yoru has saved them, they should naturally be more sensible and understanding.

"Alright, Fugaku, now that things have come to an end, we should leave," said Princess Tanshin as she floated over.

"Don't forget what you promised. Next, we're going to select a group of suitable people from Konoha. Remember to tell the Anbu and Root members, so you don't get bitten by snakes later."

Upon hearing the words of the two goddesses, Fugaku nodded solemnly: "Please rest assured, goddesses. If it weren't for your help, this would have been a calamity for Konoha. Moreover, Ryuchi Cave is a sacred place, and being chosen by Ryuchi Cave is a blessing for the ninjas of Konoha."

"Then it's settled." Princess Ichikishima muttered, then said to Princess Tashin, "Seriously, you should go back first. I have to go to Mizuki Yoru's place to maintain his reverse summoning. He lost almost two-thirds of his Sage Chakra in one go... He's a monster, that guy."

"Okay~"

The two goddesses vanished into white smoke, and the noisy battlefield returned to silence.

"The Godaime!"

"Hiashi and Kazamatsuri, thank you for your hard work."

Feeling his chakra rapidly recovering, Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and clenched his fist: "Let's go, let's go to the front line first. There are three thousand elite troops in Kumogakure. Danzo and Setsuna alone won't be able to hold them off for long."

"These damned bastards dare to invade us like this! This time, we'll cripple them, or they'll never learn their lesson!"

"Yes!"

Fugaku was the first to disappear into the bushes, while Hiashi and Kazematsu's figures paused slightly behind him.

The taut veins on his forehead indicated that Hiashi was still in Byakugan mode. The head of the Hyuga clan watched Fugaku's departing figure with a furrowed brow.

"You should have seen it, right?"

A sudden voice entered his ears. Senju Kazesatsu used chakra to transmit his voice: "The backlash of the eye technique, the destruction of Susanoo, and such losses... the physique of the Uchiha clan cannot recover so quickly."

"What do you mean by that? Don't you wish the Fifth Hokage were that powerful?" Hiashi glanced at Senju Kazematsu and echoed with chakra as he followed Fugaku's steps.

"We are all happy to see the Fifth Hokage become powerful, but we are also curious about how he became so powerful."

"Curiosity killed the cat, Senju Kazematsu."

"That power, it was bestowed upon him by Minazuki Yoru, wasn't it? Your daughter is Minazuki Yoru's disciple, why didn't he bestow that power upon you?"

“A pointless attempt to sow discord…”

Hiashi Hyuga ignored Kazematsu Senju and caught up with Fugaku Uchiha on his own.

He wasn't indifferent to what Senju Kazematsu said. With the power of the Byakugan, he could clearly see the special chakra on Fugaku's lower abdomen and the face that all Konoha ninjas were all too familiar with.

That's the face of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju!

"The power of bloodline reversion..." Looking at Uchiha Fugaku, who was rushing ahead wearing the Hokage's robe, Hyuga Hiashi's pure white eyes were filled with some complicated emotions.

He also had some guesses about the bloodline atavism. When Mizuki Yoru told him about the Tenseigan and Byakugan's ability to evolve, he had revealed some information about the bloodline atavism.

However, the conditions for his Byakugan evolution were too harsh and abnormal, even requiring fratricide, so Hiashi had not taken any action. Although Hiashi had some guesses about the path of bloodline reversion, he dared not act recklessly.

It now appears that Fugaku Uchiha has already embarked on this path through Minazuki Yoru.

The fusion of the Senju and Uchiha clans...

Today's battle made Hiashi clearly realize the gap between himself and the Kage-level powerhouses of the ninja world. Neither Fugaku nor the Fourth Raikage were people he could deal with, let alone monsters like Jinchuriki.

With his current strength, he has long since fallen out of the ranks of the strongest ninjas. The Hyuga clan will not be able to develop in the chaotic situation if they rely solely on him.

As for Hinata, she was still just a little girl and hadn't grown up at all.

It seems he'll have to consult with Yoruichi Minazuki too...

……

The Cloud Village's surprise attack on Konoha was a blitzkrieg-style offensive.

By splitting their forces into two groups, with the Raikage and two Jinchuriki as the spearhead, they penetrated deep into the heart of Konoha, with elite troops following closely behind. Their aim was to crush Konoha with overwhelming force before Kirigakure could react.

Given the current combat strength of both sides, this tactic is entirely feasible.

However, the Cloud Village never expected that Fugaku Uchiha would be able to summon Yoru Mizuki directly using reverse summoning, nor did they expect that Yoru Mizuki, in his reverse summoning state, could display such overwhelming power.

Perhaps this is life and reality. The fruits of victory were within reach, but cruel reality slapped the people of Kumogakure in the face.

"This should be our first meeting, Fourth Raikage."

Mizuki Yoru watched with great interest as the man before him recovered from his frozen state, his muscles tense, rapidly recovering from his stiffness by stimulating his chakra, and constantly searching for his weaknesses, attempting to attack him.

The Fourth Raikage's talent and personality are among the best not only in the Kumogakure family, but also among all the Kage in the history of the ninja world.

Despite lacking the Six Paths bloodline, he was able to cultivate to this level, suppressing the Eight-Tails, beating up the Mangekyou Sharingan, and waking up Sasuke Uchiha, who had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and considered himself invincible, with a single punch.

With such ambition, boundless aspirations, and a seemingly violent personality that is also shrewd beneath the rough exterior, and aversion to women (the claim that this is pure slander!), he perfectly fits all the criteria of a ruthless and powerful figure!

In the ninja world, the number of Kage who can compare to him can be counted on one hand.

Unfortunately, even such a powerful and ambitious man encountered setbacks at every turn throughout his life, failing to achieve any of his desires, truly living up to his reputation as a recluse.

"Do you think that if it weren't for me, with your combat strength, plus a perfect Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and a Two-Tails who has just mastered Tailed Beast Transformation, you could have easily conquered Konoha and taken over the Land of Fire today?"

Hearing Mizuki Yoru's calm and peaceful words, the Fourth Raikage's expression immediately darkened.

While secretly gathering chakra, preparing to unleash his strongest Lightning Release Armor once more, he coldly replied, "You, Mizuki Yoru, were able to defeat Konoha, so why can't we, Kumogakure? Don't think too highly of yourself, Mizuki Yoru!"

“Indeed, what I can do, others can certainly do as well.” Night smiled and shook his head, “It’s just that what you’re trying to do is too much. I’m only trying to crush Konoha, but what you’re trying to do is destroy Konoha. The two are not the same.”

"Indeed, Konoha occupies the most fertile land in the entire ninja world and possesses the most abundant natural resources. Since the Warring States period, it has always been a piece of fat meat in the eyes of countless people."

"Throughout its history spanning hundreds of years, Konoha has experienced countless periods of weakness, and countless people have tried to seize this prize, but none have ever succeeded. Even I have been unable to destroy Konoha. Do you really think you can destroy it now that Konoha is exhausted from its recent battles?"

"Hell Thrust·Three Bon Hands!"

A burst of intense lightning suddenly erupted, and the Fourth Raikage, whose spirit and energy had reached their peak, unleashed his strongest technique, transforming into a bolt of lightning and striking towards Minazuki Yoru.

The extreme speed that even the Mangekyou Sharingan couldn't react to was fully unleashed at this moment. It can be said that at this moment, the Fourth Raikage is definitely the strongest speed ninja in the ninja world since the death of the Fourth Hokage!

Of course, except at night.

"To dare to draw your sword against me when you know the difference between us is indeed commendable courage."

Faced with this attack, Ye shook his head and stood still. However, the Fourth Raikage's figure was frozen in front of him, unable to advance even an inch.

An indescribable, terrifying pressure, seemingly emanating from the depths of his soul, enveloped the Fourth Raikage. As if struck by lightning, the Fourth Raikage instantly lost control of his body, and as if suffocating, he abruptly and with difficulty, half-kneeled on the ground from his assault stance, his eyes wide open.

"No, not anymore."

A weak voice came from behind. The little girl, Ichikishima-hime, leaned weakly against a giant tree, looking at Minazuki Yoru with a hint of resentment and helplessness.

"Boss, stop showing off, I'm really running out of energy..."

Chapter 209 Cloud Village Surrenders! The Uchiha Clan's Ultimate Weapon!

Minazuki Yoru's current strength is beyond doubt, and the amount of chakra required to reverse summon such a being would undoubtedly be astronomical.

Moreover, the duration of this spiritual communication will decrease depending on the strength of the power exerted by the night.

With just two attacks, Minazuki Yoru's summoning time was significantly reduced, to the point that Ichikishima-hime had to speak up to remind her to prevent Minazuki Yoru from overdoing it and running out of chakra before finishing the task, thus forcing her to cancel the reverse summoning technique.

Of course, the current situation is already quite good. If the person performing the technique were not Ichikishima-hime, but Uchiha Fugaku or Hyuga Hiashi, they probably wouldn't even be able to do a reverse summoning technique.

Upon hearing Princess Ichikishima's words, a hint of joy appeared in the eyes of the two Jinchuriki and the Fourth Raikage.

If the Reverse Summoning Technique cannot be maintained, then Mizuki Yoru will be forcibly sent back to Kirigakure, and at that time...

"In that case, you should go back first."

Yoru glanced at Ichikishima-hime, and a faint blue light appeared around her.

Princess Ichikishima, who had been feeling her Sage Chakra being depleted like a water pump, was suddenly shocked to find that her chakra was no longer being depleted, and her communication with Mizuki Yoru was also directly severed.

This... directly canceled the reverse spirit communication and stabilized the spatial power formed by the reverse spirit communication?

Is it really something that an ordinary person can do to be able to use their own power to fight against the power of space so easily? Even the White Snake Immortal would need to work on it for a while.

Is this guy a monster?!

"...Then I'll be leaving now."

Princess Ichikishima opened her mouth, but in the end, all her shock and astonishment remained unspoken, dissipating into white smoke.

The Cloud Village members, who had initially held onto a sliver of hope, were now utterly despairing, especially the proud and arrogant Fourth Raikage.

When this man with extraordinary ambitions became famous throughout the world during the Third Shinobi World War, it was actually noticed that he had been defeated by the Yellow Flash and Konoha during the war.

Upon learning that someone had single-handedly defeated the entire Hidden Leaf Village, the Fourth Raikage immediately gathered all sorts of information about Minazuki Yoru.

Top-tier swordsmanship, ice release capable of freezing the heavens and earth and even manipulating celestial phenomena, superhuman speed comparable to space-time ninjutsu, and even mastery of a special space-time ninjutsu no weaker than the Yellow Flash.

These three elements constituted the core of Mizuki Yoru's combat system during the Third Shinobi World War.

However, after the Third Shinobi World War, various nonsensical things such as "Soul Dominator," "Soul God of Seireitei," and "Soul Power" emerged, which the Fourth Raikage always believed to be false information used by Kirigakure to confuse the public.

Fake news!

How could anyone come up with so many unheard-of new things in just a few years? Isn't this fake news used to confuse the public?

However, when the Shinigami of Seireitei began to appear in the ninja world, and even actively participated in the war during the last conflict to help Konoha fight against Kumogakure, the Fourth Raikage finally understood that the rumors in the ninja world were not false.

At this moment, the terrifying combat power that Minazuki Yoru displayed was far beyond their level and on a completely different dimension, making the Fourth Raikage realize the reality.

"A guy like you, let alone Konoha, there is no one in the entire ninja world who can stop you."

The Fourth Raikage's voice, hoarse from the intense emotional turmoil, growled: "You possess the power to overturn everything, you ambitious fellow who would seize power from the Third Mizukage, why do you choose to do nothing at all!"

"The power to overturn everything?"

Ye chuckled and shook his head: "So sometimes, it's necessary to see more, travel more, and avoid being narrow-minded. What makes you think that the power I possess can overturn the current ninja world?"

In this world, there has never been a shortage of people who, having mastered even a little bit of power, are eager to jump out and claim that they want to unify the ninja world.

For example, there's Seimei, the founder of the Land of Craftsmen; Hiruko, who has fused multiple bloodline limits; and the demonic monster, Mouryou.

But almost without exception, these people ended up as minor instances of the main character, becoming experience points.

The ninja world is never as simple as it seems on the surface!

Even Nagato, who considered himself a god, and Pain, who roamed the ninja world for decades, only just began to grasp the basics of becoming a strong ninja.

The ancient gods who have survived since the time of the Sage of Six Paths can only huddle at the bottom of the volcano, silently spreading their teachings and healing their wounds. Even the Asura of the Ninja World, Madara Uchiha, and the God of Shinobi, are nothing more than small fry.

After the death of the Six Paths Brothers, the Otsutsuki on the moon became incredibly powerful. Their giant Tenseigan was like the Sword of Damocles, capable of destroying everything. However, they could only stay on the moon and dared not set foot in the ninja world at will.

The three sacred lands have a long history, and the three immortals have profound knowledge, foreseeing the future and understanding destiny. They are unpredictable and beyond human comprehension, yet they can only retreat to their sacred lands and dare not make any rash moves.
