Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

The strongest physical attack, which was said to burn the target to ashes, continued to scorch Shamon's body, and even the pure white haori on his body began to fall off.

"Lord Shamen!!"

Rasa looked worried, but Obito squinted and sensed something was wrong.

The Shamon, whose entire body was covered in Amaterasu's flames, did not show much panic. Instead, he gripped the Zanpakuto at his waist, which made Obito understand something and a sense of annoyance rose in his heart.

These damned Grim Reapers have abilities as varied and bizarre as a kaleidoscope, and each one is extremely difficult to deal with.

Clearly, the reason why Shamon was able to remain unharmed under the flames of Amaterasu was because of the ability to unleash his Zanpakuto!

"It seems you've fought quite a few Grim Reapers, but this is the first time I've used this ability in actual combat. You coward who dared to wreak havoc on Sunagakure under the name of Uchiha Madara!"

Shamon drew his Zanpakuto from his waist, and the blade transformed into countless fine threads, disappearing without a trace.

The instant the blade vanished as it transformed into threads, fine cracks appeared on Shamon's body. Then, like a puppet, he shattered with a crash, and the Amaterasu Fire, which would not extinguish until its target was completely burned out, was also extinguished at that moment.

At that very moment, Obito's brows furrowed sharply, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

Under the immense power of the Eternal Eye, he suddenly noticed a thread in the air, thinner than a hair, that silently landed on him and was pierced through by divine might.

When those delicate threads landed, the ground beneath Obito's feet seemed to be struck by a heavy blow, shattering and exploding with a deafening roar!

"Sever the puppet strings!"

The unharmed Shamen was condensed in mid-air by delicate threads of spiritual energy, and countless fine threads spread out from his body, completely enveloping the surrounding area.

In an instant, the entire house collapsed with a roar, and even the ground began to tremble!

"He transformed his Zanpakuto into fine threads to indiscriminately cover everything?" Obito, with Kamui activated, saw through Shamon's release: "No, it's not that simple. He was able to dodge Amaterasu earlier... also using this ability?"

"You dodged my puppet strings?"

"It's Lord Shamon, the master of space-time ninjutsu! This guy also possesses a special space-time ninjutsu!" Rasa, covered in gold dust, emerged disheveled from under the rubble and shouted.

"I see."

Shamon nodded. Although space-time ninjutsu was rare, he had seen it before. For example, there was a famous white-haired space-time ninjutsu user in the Warring States period.

If the enemy is someone who possesses space-time techniques, then dealing with them will indeed be very troublesome. Moreover, the space-time ninjutsu of this guy in front of us is different from that white-haired guy's. This kind of technique, which places oneself in space-time, can be said to be invincible from the start.

If it were a monk in his lifetime, he would be completely helpless.

but now……

"My puppet strings are not that simple!"

Shamon raised his palm and suddenly grabbed at the area where Obito was!

"Seal off! Puppet Threads!"

Chapter 262 Bankai: Mad Sand Puppet Line Calamity!

Fine threads of spiritual energy surged towards Obito's location, instantly covering his entire body.

Obito, who was in the Kamui dimension, quickly realized something was wrong. Even though he was in the Kamui dimension, his Sharingan detected some threads that penetrated his projected image and landed on him.

A strange feeling welled up in his heart. The next moment, his physical body, which was originally in the Divine Might Space, was forcibly taken away and landed in the outside world.

The second time!

This is the second time his Kamui has been broken. The last time was outside Kirigakure, when the ugly Adjuchas Hollow used sound waves to break it!

Kamui was broken, and countless spiritual energy threads rained down like a storm. Obito's gaze turned slightly cold, but his expression remained unchanged.

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

The repulsive force deflected the high-intensity spiritual energy puppet threads before they could land on Obito's body, but then even more puppet threads came hurtling towards him.

Obito subconsciously unleashed Kamui, but the spatial fluctuations around him were exceptionally violent and completely beyond his control!

"It's no use. I've already disrupted the spatial structure of the area you're in with my puppet strings. Even if you have special space-time ninjutsu, you probably can't readjust this space with your eye power in such a short time."

"In other words, in the next phase of the battle, as long as my puppet strings remain in this area, you will no longer be able to use that space-time eye technique!"

Shamon's figure followed closely behind the incoming puppet threads, the dense threads shooting towards Obito like a storm.

Prepare to die!

Everything along the way was cut by the puppet threads, even the sand and dust.

Obito Uchiha stared expressionlessly at the Second Kazekage, Shamon, who was attacking him. Just as he had expected, the Zanpakuto abilities of these Shinigami were all incredibly strange and difficult to deal with, even surpassing the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Defeating such a guy by using techniques to fight back is extremely difficult. Even if you can defeat one, you will eventually be trapped when facing the next Grim Reaper.

The only way to win is to crush the opponent with absolute power!

And now, he has already mastered this level of power!

Obito suddenly swung his wrist, which was holding the Yin-Yang Spear Staff, forward, and a sharp gust of wind burst forth from the tip of the staff.

"Kazekiri!"

call out!

The fierce wind was ear-piercing and unstoppable!

With the power of the Six Paths amplified, the power of this attack was terrifying. There were no fancy gales howling out; the attack severed all the drifting puppet strings in one strike.

Shamen's expression changed slightly, and he dodged the attack somewhat awkwardly. The gale that brushed past him landed in the yellow sand and instantly carved out a deep abyss of yellow sand!

"This power!!!"

Luo Sha stared blankly at the seemingly ordinary slash, yet it seemed to cleave the yellow sand and earth in two. He felt a chill run down his spine and broke out in a cold sweat.

Is this the kind of power a normal person could unleash? This scoundrel who controls the Kage of various villages and uses space-time ninjutsu and genjutsu to do dirty tricks behind the scenes actually possesses this level of power?!

There was no time for Rasa to be shocked, as a terrifying aura created by chakra swept in from afar in an instant.

The Amaterasu Fire, which would not be extinguished until its target was completely burned out, burned away the colors of the entire world in the distorted space.

Fortunately, the terrifying aura was blocked by an invisible light membrane in the middle area, and in the blink of an eye, it was smashed into a dark scroll.

Gazing at the towering, semi-transparent, invisible barrier, Rasa finally snapped out of his daze…

"Stop spacing out, quickly report the news from here!"

Shamon, who was unleashing the full power of his Breakthrough, tossed over a crystal: "Use chakra to activate it. How do you control the spiritual energy inside to release this Binding Path? It can transmit messages directly from here!"

"Oh, yes! Lord Shamon!"

Rasa awoke with a start, hurriedly took the azure crystal, and activated it with his chakra.

A powerful surge of spiritual energy, accompanied by data, flooded into Luo Sha's mind, leaving him stunned. After a moment, Luo Sha took a deep breath and rapidly moved his hands. Under the control of the spiritual energy, he drew zigzag patterns on his right arm, like brushstrokes.

The jet-black lines extended from the arm to the palm, then spread out, transforming into a square spiritual energy body.

At that moment, both Shamon and Rasa spoke simultaneously.

"The Seventy-seventh Way of Binding: Tiantingkongluo."

"The Seventy-seventh Way of Binding: Tianting Kongluo!"

"Lord Mizukage, can you hear my voice, Lord Mizukage!"

Luo Sha said hastily, "The masked man suddenly attacked, and Lord Shamon is currently fighting him..."

"Interesting. Do Shinigami have such a technique for transmitting information over extremely long distances? No wonder that guy, Mizuki Yoru, is always one step ahead of everyone else."

Obito glanced at Rasa with a cold look in his eyes, his gaze flashing crimson.

"Fire Release: Explosive Wind Dance!"

The Fire Release ninjutsu, amplified by Kamui's power, spun and surged towards Shamon.

At the same time, Obito suddenly clasped his hands together, and a surge of immense chakra erupted, causing countless trees to burst from the ground and rush towards Shamon.

With composure, Shamen moved his fingers like an elegant pianist, and under his control, the dense spiritual energy threads sliced ​​through the incoming trees and flames.

But the next moment, those techniques that had been cut and shattered by the puppet strings were restored to their original state in the blink of an eye, and their power was undiminished as they turned their spears and attacked Obito!

"Take control! Puppet Strings!"

Obito's eyes narrowed suddenly. With his superb insight, he saw that the techniques he released, which instead attacked him, were covered with puppet threads, like puppets stitched together. How could he control them?

Cutting, defending, restricting, controlling...

This Zanpakuto's power perfectly embodies the strength of the Second Kazekage, Shamon, the progenitor of puppeteers, and once again solidifies Obito's conviction.

Zanpakuto and Mangekyou Sharingan are actually the same thing. The eye techniques awakened by the Mangekyou Sharingan rely on the host's inner desires when awakening, while Zanpakuto are formed and released based on the host's most proficient power.

They are essentially the same.

But with this level of power, you think you can defeat me, who has already ascended to godhood and become a reincarnation of the Six Paths?

What a joke!

"All things are attracted by heaven!"

Faced with the Shamon's attack, Obito neither retaliated nor dodged. Instead, his left hand unleashed an extremely strong gravitational force, attracting the opponent's technique along with the Shamon behind him.

This action caused Shamen to frown deeply.

If Shenwei is unable to safely transfer itself to a designated space, will it actively engage in an attack?

Seeking death?

"The Second Kazekage once told me something during my many encounters with Minazuki Yoru."

Obito suddenly spoke up: "The battle between ninjas is ultimately a battle between chakra. The side with stronger chakra has an innate advantage over the side with weaker chakra."

"This same principle applies to you and me."

"I don't know if there are any hidden abilities in your Zanpakuto's chaotic array of powers, nor do I know to what extent you've mastered the so-called 'Shinigami-ken-ki-sou' technique after becoming a Shinigami, because all the power you possess is meaningless in the face of my absolute power!"

Obito suddenly unleashed a massive amount of chakra, and the suction force pulling on Shamon suddenly underwent a qualitative change in that instant.

At the same time, a small, jet-black ball shot out from his palm, transforming into a black hole with infinite gravity, and flew towards the sky.

The spells controlled by the Shamen, including the spiritual energy puppet threads he released, as well as the surrounding yellow sand, the air and clouds, and even the light, were constantly compressed and condensed by the surging and enormous gravity.

Shramana instinctively wanted to use the power of the puppet strings to separate his physical body and escape the seal of this technique.

However, the sealing power of this technique is beyond imagination, and its suction and sealing force are constantly increasing.

"No, if this continues, even if Rasa isn't completely sealed, his life will inevitably be in danger."

"Fight!"

Shamen clenched his teeth, his hands grasping at the air, and at this moment, he released all the spiritual power within his body without reservation.

The roaring spiritual energy soared into the sky, and the terrifying pressure made the entire Chibaku Tensei rumble, attracting the attention of Obito and Rasa below.

"Is it coming..."

Obito murmured to himself, knowing full well what this outburst represented, and that it showed that Shamon had been pushed to his limit when facing him.

The planet Earth-Exploding Star, which had been suspended in mid-air like a meteorite, began to tremble continuously. In the blink of an eye, the planet Earth-Exploding Star, which was formed from yellow sand, suddenly underwent a distortion, and its entire surface began to dissipate and disappear with the wind.

But in Obito's eyes, the Planetary Devastation did not dissipate; instead, it split apart!

Yes.

At this moment, the Planetary Devastation, just like the chakra threads released by Shamon earlier, began to continuously split apart, transforming into countless puppet threads that sucked into even the thinnest hairs of the body. These dense puppet threads blotted out the sky and covered the entire heavens and earth, seemingly turning this area into a 'puppet thread domain'.

The enormous Earth-Exploding Star was completely decomposed, and an invisible wave began to spread from Shamen's body.

"I never expected it to succeed. I thought it was all over."

Under Rasa's shocked gaze and Obito's cold stare, Shamon slowly let out a sigh of relief, a confident smile appearing on his face: "After obtaining this power, I tried Bankai many times, but failed each time. I never expected to be able to release it successfully under these circumstances."

"An old guy like me who's already died once, I never thought I'd be able to get all fired up again..."

Shamon suddenly clenched his hands towards Obito below, and in an instant, a layer of mist suddenly appeared in the entire world. It was the scene of countless puppet threads appearing under the stimulation of Shamon's power.

It is also the Bankai that he was brewing!

"Solution—"

"Sandstorm Puppet Thread Robbery!"

The puppet threads, invisible to the naked eye, overlapped and densely packed, as if the entire world and sky were shrouded in layers of gauze.

Rasa swallowed hard. The previous generation's Bankai was so powerful. But then, his shock turned into ecstasy. He even paused in his report to Mizuki Yoru and the others.

"I don't know much about you, but judging from Rasa's attitude towards you and the words he describes, you are not only a vicious thug in this world, but also a great scourge to Sunagakure. Now you want to take Shukaku away."
