Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

This world has never been simple, and they are well aware of this, so they dare not act rashly or easily disrupt the hard-won balance of the ninja world.

The same goes for the night.

Admittedly, Ye's strength has now surpassed that of the former Shura of the Ninja World and the God of Ninjas, but compared to those true monsters, he is still somewhat inferior.

The immortals of the three holy lands, the six paths within the Pure Land of the Underworld, the Otsutsuki Isshiki licking his wounds in the dimensional space, the cosmic Otsutsuki who may descend upon Earth at any moment, and so on...

A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall, and the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. Before his plans were fully completed and before his strength and plans were fully successful, Ye had been very careful and maintained a certain degree of restraint.

"The ninja world is vast, truly vast. The things it contains cannot be fully described by the mere five great nations plus a few small villages. Even I am far from being able to do everything you have described."

"Even if I don't take action today, Konoha will never be overthrown by you three little Karami. Putting aside everything else, Minato Namikaze's son has already been chosen by those toads of Mount Myōboku as their new representative. Do you think they'll just sit idly by?"

"Just Mount Myōboku!" the Fourth Raikage growled, but his tone was noticeably weaker.

The three holy lands have long been famous in the ninja world and have an extraordinary status. Everyone is aware of the strength of the three holy lands, and even the five great nations are unwilling to fight them to the death.

“Sometimes, people need to understand themselves so they don’t have to face and bear costs and consequences they can’t accept.” Night’s expression was calm as he looked at the lush forest in the distance, as if he could see Uchiha Fugaku and the others rushing to the front lines and defeating the main force of Kumogakure.

"The death of three thousand elite troops will at most weaken Yunyin for a few years, but what would it mean for Yunyin if the three of you were to perish as well?"

"It's like a tiger losing its claws, a samurai losing its sword, or a ninja losing its chakra."

"Without its armed forces, Kumogakure is like a piece of fat meat that anyone can take a bite of in the ninja world that has just ended its war. I think in a month or two at most, the entire Land of Lightning may be swallowed up."

"asshole!"

That kind of thing, that kind of price, that kind of future!

This was almost the most fatal and unacceptable outcome for the Fourth Raikage, who had taken over the position of Raikage from his father, the Third Raikage, and dedicated his life to making Kumogakure the best ninja village in the ninja world!

"Minazuki Yoru..." The Fourth Raikage stared intently at Minazuki Yoru: "What exactly do you want!"

The power this guy possesses is far beyond what he can currently contend with. Given his complete ability to eliminate them, the reason he's willing to ramble on like this is simply because they hold benefits that Mizuki Yoru needs.

For Minazuki Yoru, that kind of benefit was more valuable than directly destroying the Land of Lightning.

E.g……

The Hidden Cloud Village and the Land of Lightning submitted to the Hidden Mist Village!

Plunder of industry, commerce, population, and resources!

An experimental site for evil human experimentation and soul research!

"I just don't want to see people like you with untamed spirits perish because of limitations in information and knowledge." Night shrugged.

The Fourth Raikage's eyes were filled with resentment and anger. If he could, he would want to cut Mizuki Yoru in half, chop him up, and crush this scum who coveted the Hidden Cloud Village and the Land of Lightning.

His pride and dignity were driving him to refuse, but his responsibilities as Raikage, his promises to his father and the people of Kumogakure, were now weighing him down like a massive boulder...

"...The Land of Thunder cannot be destroyed in my hands, nor can it become a puppet and colony of other forces!"

“Of course, I have always respected the customs and policies of different places. After all, I am not some unscrupulous capitalist who only cares about profit. You can compare the specific situation with Konoha.” Ye said calmly, “At most, we will put some reforms and attempts that are not suitable to be carried out in the Land of Water right away, but are absolutely necessary, here for experimentation.”

"Apart from that, I will not interfere too much in your internal affairs... Well, for example, I should also adopt the policies and measures that have already been implemented in the Land of Water so that both sides can benefit from each other and make progress together."

"Alright, Raikage, do you want to watch the Land of Lightning be divided and devoured by the greedy ninja nations in the Pure Land of the Underworld, or do you want to become my pawns? The choice is in your own hands."

"...Do I even have a choice?"

The Fourth Raikage remained silent for a long time, his incredibly strong body collapsing to the ground as if it had no bones.

His eyes were fixed on the sky, and before his eyes appeared the image of his father, the Third Raikage, single-handedly holding off tens of thousands of Iwagakure ninja, covering their retreat, entrusting Kumogakure to him, and ultimately dying in battle.

And at this moment...

The Fourth Raikage closed his eyes in anguish and said, "I hope you can do everything you say."

"Of course, I always keep my word."

Night's face was full of smiles as he took out a scroll from his pocket and handed it to the Fourth Raikage: "The preliminary requirements are all in here. If you rush to the front line now, you should be able to bring back one or two thousand elite Cloud Village troops."

"Oh, and one more friendly reminder."

"Don't bring your tailed beasts to the battlefield when you have nothing better to do. There are quite a few powerful figures in the ninja world that Kumogakure can't afford to offend, and they're all watching them closely. If you don't want to see them taken away by someone else and ultimately forced to die at my hands, then keep them safe in Kumogakure and don't let them out recklessly."

"As for those who want to use eye techniques to cultivate eye techniques like Lightning Release Armor, your Land of Lightning actually has a family with eye techniques, um, the Blood Pond Clan."

"In terms of strength, they are not much inferior to the Sharingan. The reason why they have disappeared is due to the Daimyo of your Land of Lightning. If you really want a bloodline limit for eye techniques, you can start with them."

The Blood Pool Clan?

The Fourth Raikage was slightly taken aback. He had never heard of this ninja clan before, but since Mizuki Yoru had mentioned it, he naturally wouldn't speak without reason.

If they study it carefully, maybe the Hidden Cloud Village can really have its own bloodline limit!

The Fourth Raikage grabbed the scroll, took a deep breath, and his figure suddenly transformed into a bolt of lightning, rushing off into the distance.

The two Jinchūriki also noticed that the restrictions on their bodies had dissipated. They looked at Minazuki Yoru somewhat helplessly, and after making sure that he really did not do anything unusual, they quickly followed the Raikage.

Mizuki glanced at a corner with a half-smile, her figure slowly enveloped by a pale yellow pillar of light, before disappearing from the spot.

After everyone present had left, a pair of black and red eyes, filled with a mixture of emotions, slowly closed.

"He must have found you, Obito."

“I know. By directly absorbing the spatial power of the Reverse Summoning Technique, that guy’s research on space-time ninjutsu has improved again.” Obito’s eyes held a hint of self-mockery: “He doesn’t take me seriously at all. To him, I’m just a clown.”

“I think this is an opportunity. Underestimating the enemy is a major taboo for the strong. If we seize this opportunity, we can turn the tide!” Black Zetsu encouraged, then added, “Besides, we only need one more Corpse Bone Pulse!”

"But, with Nagato at his current level, can we really hold off Minazuki Yoru?"

Obito had some doubts. How could someone as strong as the Fourth Raikage and his two Jinchūriki be so easily crushed by Minazuki Yoru?

Faced with such intensity, can Nagato hold off Minazuki Yoru, who is like a monster?

"If we're talking about combat strength... I know another guy." Black Zetsu was silent for a long time before suddenly speaking, "If we include that guy, I can't say I can defeat Minazuki Yoru, but holding him off shouldn't be a problem."

Obito frowned: "There are still such powerful individuals in the ninja world? Are you sure we can control them?!"

“That’s a trump card Madara left me, and I don’t want to use it unless absolutely necessary,” Black Zetsu said in a deep voice. “As for controlling it, there won’t be any problem.”

"After all, that guy..."

"But it's the ultimate weapon of the Uchiha clan!"

Chapter 210 Mizuki Yoru: "Give me some face"

"The ultimate weapon of the Uchiha clan?!"

Black Zetsu's words left Obito stunned.

How come he didn't know that the Uchiha clan had such a thing?

In the genjutsu space at that time, Madara gave him everything, including Yin-Yang Release, ninja legends, ninja common sense, etc., in an attempt to mold him into a second Uchiha Madara, so that he could act in the future ninja world under Madara's name.

Obito did not disappoint Madara. During that period, he successfully absorbed a massive amount of knowledge, not only mastering various ninjutsu, fire release, yin-yang release, and so on, but also completely grasping the various legends and details of the ninja world.

Even the Nine-Tails can summon spirits. Apart from having different eyes, he is the real Uchiha Madara of this era!

Despite possessing such a vast amount of information, he had never heard of any ultimate weapon of the Uchiha clan. Moreover, if the Uchiha clan truly possessed an ultimate weapon comparable to the current Mizuki Yoru, then how could Uchiha Madara have been defeated by Senju Hashirama?

"It seems Madara didn't tell you, but that's normal, because that so-called ultimate weapon isn't a weapon, it's a person."

Seeing the suspicious look on Obito's face, Black Zetsu explained in a deep voice, "That guy is a Mangekyou Sharingan user from the Uchiha clan during the Warring States period. Because of the special nature of his eye technique, he was trained by other Uchiha clan members as a 'weapon' to deal with the Senju clan."

"But later, due to various reasons, and because its excessive power gradually became feared by other clans, it was eventually sealed by the Senju clan and other ninja clans."

"As for Lord Madara... Lord Madara's situation at the time was quite special. The reason he went to war with Hashirama Senju was more to settle things in his heart and bring an end to them. Besides, that guy's attitude towards the Uchiha clan might not be as good as you think..."

"I see, it's a weapon of war."

Obito's single eye was dark and menacing, flashing with blood-red light.

From Madara's few words, Obito certainly understood how terrifying the wars of the Warring States period were; they were wars that far surpassed the current so-called Ninja World War.

He awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan in that era, and it was used by the Uchiha clan as the ultimate weapon against the Senju and other ninja clans. If he could really use it, the success rate of his plan would definitely be greatly increased!

"Where is that guy sealed away?"

"It's located within the Land of Fire!"

……

The elite troops of Kumogakure were charging at Konoha's defensive forces on the front lines, but there was a huge gap between the two sides in terms of both strength and numbers.

Uchiha Setsuna and Danzo together numbered only a little over a thousand ninjas. Even with the help of other scattered Konoha ninjas, they could only suffer repeated defeats against the organized, well-prepared, and strategic advance of Kumogakure.

Fortunately, they were on the defensive. After using the strategy of trading space for time, the Konoha fought and retreated, constantly using explosive tags, small barriers and traps to delay the Cloud Village's attack until the arrival of Uchiha Fugaku and others.

In reality, Fugaku Uchiha alone could not possibly turn the tide in a battlefield with a thousand soldiers.

However, the presence of Fugaku Uchiha on the main battlefield, while the Raikage and the Jinchuriki of Kumogaku were not present to launch a surprise attack, had a far more deterrent effect than Fugaku's combat power!

"Why is Fugaku Uchiha on the battlefield? Where is the Fourth Hokage? Where is the Raikage?!"

"Damn it, wasn't it said that Raikage, Killer Bee, and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki went to raid Konoha and capture Fugaku Uchiha? Why is Fugaku Uchiha here?"

"Damn it... Could it be that Lord Raikage has already...?"

"That's impossible! That's the Raikage and two Jinchūriki! And Killer Bee is a perfect Jinchūriki, how could he possibly lose? Absolutely impossible!"

"But why..."

"Genjutsu! It's definitely genjutsu, or a shadow clone! This Uchiha Fugaku is just an empty shell used by Konoha to stabilize morale!"

"Good! Everyone, don't panic. Lord Raikage may have already stormed Konoha. Follow me!"

The Cloud Village members were in a state of panic, and the commander-in-chief, Tsuchida, kept giving orders in an attempt to stabilize morale.

No matter what happens on the Raikage's side, their three thousand elite troops are more than enough to crush the less than one thousand Konoha ninja in front of them. By then, the overall situation will be settled, and no matter what happens on the Raikage's side, he will have the confidence and resources to deal with it slowly.

But when Fugaku Uchiha activated Susanoo, the morale of the ninjas on the Cloud Village side immediately fell into chaos!

"The Raikage has been defeated! Konoha ninja, heed my command, follow me and kill!"

With Susanoo activated, Fugaku Uchiha gave the order and charged into the enemy ranks like a war god, engaging in a physical battle.

Although the fourth stage of Susanoo is not strong enough when facing top-level powerhouses, it can still thrive in this kind of war.

Its superior defense could never be breached by explosive tags, poison needles, shurikens, or similar items.

Its Susanoo sword's destructive power is such that even a casual strike is like an A-rank ninjutsu. Its tall, mighty, and terrifying appearance brings an extremely terrifying mental impact to the countless Cloud Village ninjas present.

On the other hand, the Konoha ninja...

Seeing their Hokage's posture and the words he shouted, countless Konoha ninjas were energized and followed Fugaku as they charged towards the Cloud Village army, their morale soaring.

Lightning flashed, fireworks roared, and various ninjutsu clashed together in an instant.

Although there was a huge difference in the number of people on both sides, their morale was worlds apart.

The 'Kage' has always been the pillar of their respective ninja villages, the embodiment of their beliefs. At this moment, Fugaku Uchiha actually shouted that the Raikage had been defeated, which shattered the beliefs and morale of a large part of the Cloud Village.

If one loses their fighting spirit, there is no difference between three thousand and three hundred people; in fact, three thousand people will be defeated even faster than three hundred.

The reason is simple: the demoralized army is like a wildfire, and once it gains momentum, it will be unstoppable!

The battlefield was filled with cries of agony and a hail of heads. Most of the dead were Cloud Ninja. Tsuchida kept giving orders, but he could only delay the Cloud Ninja's defeat to a certain extent.

The ninja world is always the ninja world, completely different from modern warfare.

In large-scale battles in the ninja world, high-level combat power is extremely important. It is not only the main combat force against the enemy, but also a representation of the morale and fighting spirit of one's own forces!

This can be seen in both Amegakure during the Second Shinobi World War and Kirigakure during the Third Shinobi World War.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!"

Seeing Uchiha Fugaku charging ahead in his Gundam, Uchiha was instantly excited. His fingers flew, and he spat out seven or eight blazing fireballs, which flew towards various parts of the battlefield at different times. He timed each fireball perfectly, and each one caught the enemy's weakness, causing a series of wails and cries.

Seeing the Cloud Ninjas turn into charred corpses or have their heads fall to the ground, his excitement grew.

That's what it feels like!

This is what he pursues, what he desires!

He continuously unleashed surging fire-style attacks, but his eyes remained fixed on Uchiha Fugaku. The figure enveloped by Susanoo gradually merged and overlapped with a figure from the deepest part of his memory, transforming into the most surging source of belief in his heart!

That year in Konoha, it was the battle between the ancestor Uchiha Madara and the First Hokage Senju Hashirama.

Our ancestor was defeated and died in battle.

At that time, I saw the Uchiha, who had joined forces with the Senju to create Konoha, fall from grace, be suppressed and expelled by the Hokage faction, and even leave the center of power in Konoha.

I will never forget what the second Hokage did to the Uchiha clan, and what the Uchiha clan suffered under the rule of the Hokage.
