Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

"Feel the despair, this disgustingly fake world, feel what this world is really like!"

Obito Uchiha stared at Itachi, who was slumped on the ground. He could clearly feel the almost broken despair in Itachi's heart. At the same time, a cold chakra surged from Itachi's body along with his violently fluctuating emotions.

"Come, this is the power that will open Pandora's box for the Uchiha clan amidst despair, Uchiha Itachi!"

Extreme negative emotions continuously fueled the Uchiha bloodline, and the Yin Release chakra it generated stimulated the eyes, causing Itachi's three-tomoe Sharingan to spin wildly until it transformed into a pattern of a three-sided scythe shuriken.

A powerful aura emanated from his eyes and flowed continuously into his body, but Itachi Uchiha painfully closed his eyes.

He could sense the condition of his eyes, but at this moment he felt no joy whatsoever, because he simply could not accept what was happening.

If there is one scene that can depict heart-wrenching pain, then it is Itachi's moment.

"The kaleidoscope is mine!"

Obito Uchiha appeared silently behind Itachi, and with an unseen speed that was imperceptible, he plucked out Itachi's right eye.

The intense pain brought Itachi back to his senses, and as he clutched his bleeding right eye socket, just as Itachi's hand was about to strike his left eye, he hid in his left eye socket and instantly released the Mangekyou Sharingan, a new eye technique that had just awakened.

A tear of blood streamed down his face, his eyes filled with countless blood vessels. The vast power of his newly awakened Mangekyou Sharingan was released without reservation, enveloping Obito.

Obito's body trembled suddenly, and his hand, which had been aimed at Itachi's left eye, stopped at its limit. A moment later, he was panting heavily and pulled away with a face full of shock and anger.

"It's you!"

Itachi Uchiha slowly stood up, one hand covering his eye, his remaining eye fixed on Obito Uchiha: "You bastard, you controlled me!"

The clash of eye-power illusions just now allowed Itachi to clearly sense Obito's eye power.

That power was exactly the same as the residual pupil power in his mind.

The truth has come to light!

This guy controlled him; this guy caused the tragedy that has befallen the Uchiha!

"Damn illusion-type eye techniques... Oh well, a kaleidoscope is enough to make up for my shortcomings."

Obito Uchiha activated Kamui, glanced at Itachi who was about to go berserk with a gloomy expression, and absorbed the Mangekyou Sharingan in his hand into the Kamui dimension.

Meanwhile, some noises came from a street corner in the distance. Clearly, the unusual situation of the Uchiha had been discovered, and the Uchiha elites left outside, along with the Konoha ninjas, had now entered the Uchiha clan's territory.

Seeing this, Obito sneered.

"How will you face all of this, as a survivor of the Uchiha clan, or as a hero who repelled the enemy after awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan? Uchiha Itachi, the executioner who slaughtered countless members of his clan."

"you!"

Itachi Uchiha's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He wanted to shout angrily to show that he hadn't done any of this, but the fact that he had slaughtered his clansmen was a bloody reality.

His hands were now stained with the blood of countless members of his clan!

"They've arrived." Obito Uchiha gazed into the distance and sneered, "The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, huh? Well, you've escaped this time."

Before leaving the village, Fugaku Uchiha entrusted Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki to Hiashi, hoping that Hinata would take the two brothers with her when she trained.

Hiashi wanted to decline, but Hinata's training method was personally designed by Minazuki Yoru. If Fugaku found out, wouldn't he be at a disadvantage?

However, after Fugaku's repeated requests and inadvertently revealing Kushina Uzumaki's existence, Hiashi had no choice but to agree to Fugaku's proposal.

In order to better understand the training plan that Minazuki Yoru had devised for Hinata, Fugaku shamelessly arranged for the two brothers to live in the Hyuga clan's territory, unexpectedly avoiding Obito's massacre.

"Sasuke..."

Upon hearing Obito Uchiha's words, Itachi Uchiha trembled again, his remaining eye fixed on Obito: "You dare to lay a hand on Sasuke, I will kill you even if it costs me my life!"

"kill me?"

Obito scoffed, "You'd better think about how to explain this to your clan, you blood-stained executioner."

As the words fell, Obito's figure was slowly swallowed by the distorted space. Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha's expression of despair deepened: "No, you can't leave, you!"

"Nissan!"

A childish voice came from behind him. Uchiha Itachi, whose body was soaked in blood, trembled. He didn't even dare to turn around to look at the person behind him.

The Uchiha Jonin who came with him quickly stepped forward and supported Itachi's swaying body. When they saw the Mangekyou Sharingan in his eyes, their faces lit up with joy. However, when they noticed that his other eye socket was covered in blood, the joy that had just appeared on their faces came to an abrupt end.

"Itachi, you..."

"I……"

Itachi Uchiha opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He didn't even know how to face his clansmen.

If Sasuke knew that he had killed so many of his clansmen, then...

He couldn't imagine that scene, and even subconsciously wanted to back away and escape, but as soon as he took a step, everything went black before his eyes, and he collapsed to the ground powerless.

"Itachi!"

"Nissan!!"

The Uchiha members rushed over with great concern, while behind them, Danzo, accompanied by a group of ninjas, looked to the side. After receiving a silent nod from his subordinates, a slight smile gradually appeared on his old face...

……

One day later.

Inside the secret base of Iwagakure Village.

Obito, lying on the operating table, slowly got up. He wasn't wearing his familiar vortex mask; instead, he exposed his distorted face, which had been crushed by a boulder.

However, on that face, there were two Mangekyou Sharingan eyes with completely different shapes!

"It seems the fusion was very successful." White Zetsu, dressed in surgical scrubs, curiously examined Obito's eyes in their sockets, clicking his tongue in amazement. "The power of this Mangekyou Sharingan is quite compatible with yours, and with my cells added, there's basically no chance of rejection."

"Then, through the Ghost Sprout Ritual, you will be able to fully integrate this eye and transform it into your own power!"

"Ah, I can feel the power within this Sharingan."

Obito Uchiha gently touched his eye sockets, carefully sensing the ocular power contained within the Mangekyou Sharingan that he had created himself.

As a newly formed kaleidoscope, this kaleidoscope possesses abundant ocular power and impressive ocular techniques, including the renowned Amaterasu Fire, known as the strongest physical attack.

This eye technique perfectly solves his current weakness of being good at defense but lacking in offense.

The two kaleidoscopes, one offensive and one defensive, are simply perfect!

Now that he has both eyes, he can finally perform the Oni-Garra ritual without any worries!

After regaining his senses amidst the vast ocean of eye power, Obito looked at the White Zetsu beside him: "How is the situation in the Land of Rain?"

"The situation is a bit complicated."

White Zetsu scratched his head and said, "The Allied Shinobi Forces' combat strength is negligible, but the Shinigami under Mizuki Yoru's command have made their move."

"The Zanpakuto they wield possess immense power after being released; even Hiruko is no match for them."

Obito was not surprised by this; he was already aware of the Shinigami's power.

"Where's Nagato?"

Chapter 252 Shisui VS Nagato, Two Pairs of Sage Eyes!

"Nagato, it's been a long time."

Under the gray, rain-soaked sky, Uchiha Shisui, the captain of the Second Division, clad in a pure white haori, gazed at the resolute red-haired boy before him with a complex expression.

Like Minazuki Yoru, he was someone who witnessed Nagato become like this.

He witnessed firsthand how Danzo, Hanzo, and Obito, with their underhanded manipulation, transformed Akatsuki from a hopeful and dream-filled organization into the suffocating, twisted, and evil force it is today.

The reason why he went from a loyal Konoha ninja to his current state can be traced back to that battle.

It seems that their fate was predetermined.

"Uchiha Shisui..."

Nagato pondered Shisui's name, and upon sensing the aura emanating from him, the Rinnegan in his eye sockets involuntarily contracted.

Although Shisui had no chakra at the moment, he could not mistake that aura.

Most of the people involved that day were killed by him, including Hanzo.

However, there were still a few people he did not manage to deal with.

Mizunazukiyo is one.

The Uchiha Shisui standing before us is one of them!

An inexplicable emotion welled up in his heart, and Uchiha Shisui's figure kept blurring in Nagato's eyes, even beginning to overlap with the figure of the Konoha Anbu in the valley that day.

"Oh it's you!"

"good."

Shisui clearly understood the reason for Nagato's loss of composure at this moment. He did not try to hide anything, but simply nodded in agreement.

"I remember that Akatsuki leader named Yahiko, that dreamy, energetic, but naive and pathetic guy. I was among those who attacked you on that day, so there's no need for him to hold back or anything like that. Even without the Fourth Hokage's test, we are already blood enemies."

"Use your strongest moves, Nagato, we are now..."

"All things are attracted by heaven!"

There's no need for Shisui to continue provoking him. Even though Nagato now claims to have seen through reality, his greatest weakness remains his closest friend.

Upon confirming that Shisui was one of the culprits who had attacked them, helped Hanzo surround and kill them, and caused Yahiko's death, Nagato's anger surged to its peak, and a violent suction force erupted with a wave of his hand.

But the next moment, a scene that shocked him appeared.

The scene that Nagato had expected—Shisui being pulled towards him by his own gravity—did not occur. Nor did the opponent use any Shinigami techniques to break the Rinnegan's basic abilities. Instead, a power that Nagato was all too familiar with emanated from the opponent.

That is……

gravitational!

It has the same gravitational pull as the Universal Pull he released!

"How could this be...? Is it your Zanpakuto ability?" Nagato reacted instinctively.

In order to oppose Minazuki Yoru, he thoroughly studied the Shinigami abilities of the Seireitei, and he also thoroughly understood all the information and intelligence provided by Obito and Black Zetsu.

Things like Zanpakuto and Shisui's swordsmanship were just basics. He was also familiar with the strange abilities of Zanpakuto, so when Shisui displayed his abilities, he subconsciously assumed that it was the Zanpakuto's ability.

However, when his Rinnegan's extraordinary vision saw the pair of eyes in the other person's eye sockets, he was stunned on the spot.

Those were the same eyes that were admired by thousands, regarded by Jiraiya as the chosen one, and the source of the reason why Obito and Zetsu came knocking on his door.

The eyes of the legendary Sage of Six Paths.

Samsara Eye!

"How could you possibly possess the Rinnegan too!" Nagato's tone was filled with shock. Although he had broken free from the illusion of the savior and the destroyer, he still held a certain degree of skepticism towards the eyes in his sockets.

"Didn't that guy Cixian tell you the origin of your eyes?"

Mizuki Yoru, who was standing to the side, said leisurely, "The eyes in your eye sockets don't actually belong to you. They were transplanted there by Uchiha Madara when you were a child to make it easier for Obito to carry out his plans."

"In other words, you..."

"So, you've reached the level of Madara Uchiha in the past, and awakened the Rinnegan?" Nagato didn't dwell on this for long. Jigen had already told him all this, but he didn't expect Shisui to be able to awaken the Rinnegan at such a young age.

"The condition for awakening the Rinnegan is to use the power of all things in the universe to stimulate the eternal Mangekyou Sharingan between life and death."

"According to my intelligence, after his battle with Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha used Izanagi to escape and successfully awakened the Rinnegan. Although I cannot describe in detail the process of Shisui awakening the Rinnegan, you should be able to understand something from this information."

Mizuki Yoru recounted information about the Rinnegan and Shisui with a smile, completely ignoring the fact that Shisui himself was right beside him.

Nagato took a deep breath, his contempt completely gone.

He was well aware of the Shinigami captains' combat strength. These guys, after their Bankai, could easily defeat beings of Hiruko's caliber, plus they had eyes just like his own.

No wonder Shisui was used as my test by Minazuki Yoru; if he didn't use his full strength...

Nagato took a deep breath and stared at Uchiha Shisui in front of him. Shisui's gaze met Nagato's, and the two pairs of Sage Eyes met in mid-air.

"bring it on!"

Both immortal eyes simultaneously burst forth with purple light, and their vast pupil power surged up in that instant. The two figures vanished from their original positions and collided fiercely!

Despite being human, their collisions produced sonic booms, and the misty rain exploded with each impact, transforming into the purest fog and water vapor.

Two figures moved at high speed, fighting from the mountains to the valley floor and from the ground into the water, with the sounds of fists and feet colliding echoing continuously.

Under normal circumstances, neither Nagato nor Shisui should possess such formidable taijutsu abilities, given that one was severely depleted of chakra and the other had been completely drained by a moving toilet.

However, after becoming a Shinigami, his physique underwent a transformation due to the enhancement of spiritual power and natural energy, as well as the awakening of the Rinnegan after fusing with Hashirama Senju's cells.
