Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

Even after he betrayed Konoha and joined Akatsuki, becoming teammates with Orochimaru, this situation never changed.

When Orochimaru heard that he had used the Demon Sparrow Technique, which he had studied and pursued all his life, Hiruko still remembered the contempt and disdain that appeared in Orochimaru's snake eyes!

"It's different now."

Hiruko muttered to himself, his fists clenched, his Mangekyou Sharingan seemingly dripping blood from its sockets: "I have done it, Sannin!"

Hiruko, who considered himself to have caught up with the Sannin, raised his head, looked at Nagato with a serious expression, and said confidently, "Boss, I will personally bring back the head of the traitor Orochimaru for you!"

Nagato nodded slightly, his gaze lingering on Obito and Zetsu under the bushes in the distance.

"Should we go say hello, Obito?" White Zetsu scratched his head. "Nagato's watching us."

"madness."

Obito, too lazy to pay attention to the brainless White Zetsu, directly activated Kamui, swallowing himself and Zetsu's figures into it.

He had no interest in discussing life ideals with Nagato right now, even though Nagato was somewhat out of his control at the moment, it didn't matter.

The Sharingan's powerful perception has recorded everything that happened during this ceremony.

He meticulously recorded every step, every detail, and even every fluctuation that triggered the chakra fusion.

It can be said that this ceremony of Hiruko was not only a success for him, but also provided Obito with a perfect example.

As long as Obito follows Hiruko's approach and takes steady steps, he too can reach the realm of all things!

Even breaking through the barrier of that realm and becoming one of the Six Paths in the world, as Black Zetsu mentioned!

Nagato did not stop Obito from leaving, but just watched expressionlessly. After Obito left, he gave an order, left the back mountain, and returned to his steel jungle-like Rain Village Tower.

The pale purple Rinnegan looked down over the entire village, occasionally raising its head to gaze at the sky.

The rain continued to fall drizzly, and the gray sky seemed to never see the sun, creating a somber and unsettling atmosphere.

"For you, the moonless night is like a dark cloud over this country; without external help, it can never be lifted."

Space tore open, and a white-robed monk emerged from the void, strolling behind Nagato and following his gaze to the gray sky: "How tragic."

A sorrowful land, a sorrowful Nagato.

Nagato looked back at Jigen. He didn't use his chakra to block the rain. Ever since Yahiko died, he had come to like the feeling of being hit by the rain. The cold water droplets always reminded him of the heart-wrenching pain of that day.

"Have you gone to see Biljuhu?"

Nagato spoke slowly, ignoring the sarcasm in Cixian's words.

"The Ghost Sprout Technique is indeed impressive, but if you were the one performing the ritual, I might be more interested."

Cixian shook his head. He had actually watched the entire ritual of Hiruko and had to admit that the so-called Oni-Ya-Luo technique was indeed quite interesting. It actually allowed Hiruko, a lowly creature without the Six Paths bloodline, to have the possibility of glimpsing the power of the heavens.

But that's all.

At the level of a Kage, even a trace of the power of all things in the universe is insufficient for this guy to withstand his chakra, and he cannot meet the requirements for reincarnation to become his vessel.

Upon hearing Cixian's words, Nagato's expression changed slightly.

The reason he spared no effort in helping Hiruko complete the Oni-Garra Technique, and even intervened at the last moment to help her complete the ritual, was mainly because of the man in front of him.

This being pulled him back from hell, helped him master Sage Mode, and allowed him to glimpse the truth of this world.

Cixian.

Or rather, the Otsutsuki style!

After being defeated by Minazuki Yoru again at the Sand Gold Fortress, Nagato was forcibly rescued by Zetsu, but his Dao heart was shattered, his beliefs collapsed, and he even lost the will to live.

However, the appearance of Otsutsuki Isshiki gave Nagato a glimmer of hope once again.

That was not a beacon of hope that allowed him to live, but a beacon of despair that pierced through the fog of reality!

Otsutsuki Isshiki told him the true nature of this world, as well as his bloodline identity and everything else, including the existence of the Otsutsuki and the Ten-Tails.

Nagato, whose worldview was shattered by Isshiki and quickly rebuilt, reached a deal with Isshiki!

In other words, he would help Isshiki find a vessel that could contain his chakra, and in return, Isshiki would help Nagato defeat Minazuki Yoru to some extent, and might even share the final spoils of the battle [the Chakra Fruit] with him, thus completing the redemption of this sorrowful world!

Hiruko was the first target chosen by Nagato.

But clearly, even if Hiruko achieved his goal and became the ultimate ninja, he still couldn't catch Isshiki's eye.

"...If Hiruko is not capable, he should be able to meet your requirements."

Nagato turned his head, looking down at the steel jungle below, and slowly said, "You should know everything he has done in the past two years. He has long been unable to contain his thoughts, and today's success of Hiruko is the final fuse that has attracted his actions."

"If he succeeds, he should be enough to be your instrument."

"Uchiha Obito, huh?"

Jigen nodded: "Indeed, if that guy can really complete the same ritual as Hiruko today using the sacrifices he chose, he might actually be able to withstand my chakra. However..."

However, that guy was not only a pawn of that bitch Kaguya's third child, but was also being watched by those two guys in the Pure Land of the Underworld.

If I take action myself, and if I can truly complete the reincarnation, then everything will be fine.

But if something goes wrong, and then they are attacked by the combined forces of Black Zetsu and Kaguya's two children, things could get really bad!

Because of the reason that Minazukiyo was involved, he had to start making plans ahead of time. Fortunately, his key figure, Nagato, was overlooked by many parties for various reasons, which allowed him to take advantage of the situation.

He has already seized some opportunities and begun to make plans. What he needs to do next is to gradually expand his advantages!

“His offerings are extraordinary. To complete a ritual of that level, the chakra collected over the past two years is far from enough.”

Jigen didn't explain much to Nagato, but instead said from a different angle: "The difference between the three types of bloodline limit, bloodline elimination, and bloodline net is like the difference between the three tomoe and the Mangekyou Sharingan, or the Rinnegan in your eyes. It's even more exaggerated than the difference between the Mangekyou Sharingan and the Rinnegan."

“The other person’s goal is the final level of bloodline limit, which is to merge everything and step into my realm. The chakra required for this process will be an astronomical figure. Even if he wants to start the ritual, he must at least collect enough chakra first.”

“Chakra…” Nagato frowned deeply: “Is it that difficult? There should be many large chakra aggregates in the ninja world.”

As far as he knew, there were tailed beasts, dragon veins, and star lanterns from the Star Ninja Village—all renowned chakra aggregates in the ninja world.

With his exceptional investigative abilities, finding massive sources of chakra is a piece of cake.

"Indeed, the original ninja world did have plenty of chakra sources, but now, hehe."

Jigen shook his head and said calmly, "Now all the tailed beasts in the entire ninja world are being watched by Mizuki Yoru. The stars, the dragon veins, and the underground volcanic energy of the Land of Snow—these things have long been acquired by Mizuki Yoru."

"Under these circumstances, it would be impossible for that guy to gather such a massive amount of chakra in a short period of time."

Jigen's words made Nagato's eyes widen, and he even subconsciously opened his mouth.

He never imagined that Minazuki Yoru had done so much in the past few years.

They've even gone so far as to orchestrate such a scheme within the ninja world!

"This world is not as simple as it seems. Those from beyond are like the Sword of Damocles hanging over our heads, and those who call themselves immortals are eyeing us covetously in the Pure Land of the Underworld. And you, Nagato, your vision and capacity are limited to the relationship between small and large nations."

I'm very disappointed.

The image of Nagato sighing in the moonless night of that day was still vivid in his mind. Nagato suddenly realized something and his expression was inscrutable.

"Have you already reached this level, Minazuki Yoru..."

Chapter 239 Lord Ye's Love, Everyone Has a Share

“The chakra of Indra and Asura is indeed very special.”

Inside the Hidden Mist Village, in the Bloodline Laboratory.

After personally examining the two streams of chakra that Yoru brought back, Yukiko, with her red eyes activated, earnestly said to Yoru, "Lord Yoru, the strength of these two streams of chakra is extremely high, even surpassing that of 'Specimen No. 9'."

"However, the chakra of Indra and Asura is more yang than yin, which seems too biased compared to the completeness of Specimen No. 9."

"However, the strength of both chakra is very high, and it has been greatly enhanced compared to what you provided three years ago. It's as if a seal has been broken. If all the seals and restrictions are lifted, then even if the attributes of these two chakra are somewhat unbalanced, they can still reach the Six Paths level simply by relying on their strength."

In the original work, Naruto and Sasuke, who received the blessing of the Six Paths and fully activated the bloodlines of Ashura and Indra, were indeed at the Six Paths level, but their strength was not outstanding among those at the Six Paths level.

However, when the two forces are released together, they can complement each other!

It now seems that the problem lies in the imbalance of chakra attributes.

"How's your research on bloodline fusion power going?"

"It's almost done. With the Indra and Asura chakra that you brought, Lord Ye, as research subjects, progress is rapid."

Yukiko formed a hand seal, and a huge vessel or jar immediately appeared on the table in front of her.

The jar was filled with nutrient solution, and a pale figure was immersed in the liquid with its eyes closed.

On each side of the nutrient tank, there are six faint lights, each containing a rich source of chakra.

The chakra of the descendants of Kinkaku and Ginkaku, provided by the Fourth Raikage not long ago, including the Senju, Uchiha, Uzumaki, Hyuga, Kaguya, and the bloodline of the Fourth Raikage.

The six strands of chakra emitted a faint glow on the instrument, gradually merging with the figure inside the nutrient tank, like a pure white painting being rendered with six distinct colors.

"Your chakra is quite stable, Yukiko." Yoru was somewhat surprised. Such different chakras mixed together, and yet they could blend so peacefully and stably. The skill involved was not something that could be explained in a few words.

The attribution of chakra to its source is very strong. That is, among chakra of the same type, the main chakra of the same type can easily overwhelm other branch chakras and forcibly seize and merge them.

Just like Hashirama Senju's cells, once his cells are implanted into the human body, if there is no sufficient relative force to resist them, the carrier will soon be devoured and assimilated by Hashirama Senju's cells.

At this moment, Yukiko was able to balance all six types of chakra within a single vessel. The intricacies involved are too complex to be explained in just a few words.

"It's actually not bad."

Yukiko smiled sweetly, revealing her cute little tiger teeth: "The main reason is that the Otsutsuki Abandoner you captured, Lord Yoru, is too valuable. His physique is simply the most perfect medium."

"Whether it's the Senju or Uchiha, the Uzumaki or the Hyuga, they can basically integrate perfectly into it."

"I used his physical body as the core and integrated your prosthetic cells to a certain extent. Now, all we need to do is wait for these chakra to completely fuse together, and your soul will be able to merge into it, thus gaining control of this power!"

The physical constitution of the Otsutsuki on the moon has not been contaminated by Earth's bloodline, and its purity is infinitely close to that of the original Otsutsuki. This is probably why the chakra power of these Otsutsuki descendants can be stably fused together.

"As expected of you, Yukiko."

Yoru gently ruffled Yukiko's hair: "You've worked hard."

Night's current power is indeed very strong, but this power is the power of 'Death'.

Comparing the power systems of Bleach and Naruto, Bleach's power originally held the advantage. However, the appearance of the Otsutsuki clan continuously elevated Naruto's power system, to the point that even Yoru couldn't say for sure which power was stronger.

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle." Only after experiencing it firsthand can Ye understand just how powerful these forces truly are.

"By the way, take a look at the chakra inside this thing."

Yoru took out the black chakra rod that Jigen had given him from his bosom and handed it to Yukiko: "I left a soul barrier on it, which can hinder the transmission of chakra signals to a certain extent. You can study it as you like."

"This is……"

Yukiko curiously took the black rod, and the moment she touched it, she felt an extremely peculiar chakra.

Although this chakra was weak, its quality and strength were exceptionally high, even slightly stronger than that of Specimen Number Nine, also known as the chakra of the abandoned Otsutsuki!

Is there really such a high level of chakra in the current ninja world?

Yukiko was terrified. No wonder Lord Yoru was so powerful, yet he acted with such caution.

I originally thought that the First Hokage and the Asura of the Ninja World were already the strongest in this world, but then the Moon Otsutsuki appeared, and now there is an existence even stronger than the Moon Otsutsuki.

The waters of the ninja world are truly unfathomable!

Yukiko carefully put away the chakra rod, preparing to study it carefully, but unexpectedly Yoru took out something else.

"This is……"

What caught her eye was a small, exquisite Buddhist pouch, embroidered with gold thread, exuding the fragrance of incense, which startled Touna Yukiko.

Ye couldn't help but smile at her blank expression. He gently placed the Buddha bag in Xuezi's hand and said in a gentle tone, "You must take good care of it. I asked Buddha for it."

"Lord Ye personally prayed to Buddha for it..."

Yukiko murmured, her slender hands gently caressing the silk surface of the Buddha bag, her cheeks already flushed with a rosy glow.

Her adorable appearance made Ye pinch Xuezi's pretty cheek; this girl's personality and looks have always been endearing.

"Okay, I still need to process some documents in the office, so I won't bother you any longer."

"Ok!"

Yukiko responded softly and lowered her blushing face.

Its adorable appearance made Ye laugh a few times before disappearing from the spot.

After the night had completely passed, Yukiko held the golden Buddha bag in her hands as if it were a precious treasure, examining it closely and feeling it deeply before finally placing it in the inner lining of her body.

Feeling it pressed against her heart, Yukiko happily picked up the black chakra rod and began to study it carefully.
