Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

Chapter 264 Battlefield!

"This is truly an extraordinary move. The audacity to do so is indeed beyond my expectations."

In the land of snow, within a mysterious base.

Looking at the intelligence in his hand, Jigen couldn't help but be a little surprised. He knew that Obito would continue to fight against Minazuki Yoru after completing the Oni-Garra Ritual, but he didn't expect Obito to be so reckless.

He single-handedly declared war on everyone and every force, including Minazuki Yoru.

Even Cixian had to admire the boldness of this approach.

"However, even with tens of thousands of White Zetsu, you alone could never be a match for Mizuki Yoru."

"Danzo."

A figure appeared in front of Cixian.

He looked very young and handsome, with neat brown sideburns, and his narrow eyes gleamed with a blood-red light. There was a forked scar on his chin, which added a touch of menacing to his face.

But if it weren't for Jigen calling out, no one would associate the guy in front of them with the extremely suspicious, cautious, and treacherous Konoha's King of the Dark Leaf, who was always wrapped in bandages!

"You want to help that masked man?"

Danzo, who had undergone a transformation under the power of the ritual, snorted: "That guy declared war on the entire ninja world and caused such huge losses to Konoha. I have no reason to help him."

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. For someone who also possesses chakra, isn't Minazuki Yoru the greatest enemy?"

Jigen said calmly, "Besides, I'm not asking you to help Obito. I'm just thinking that you could take advantage of this opportunity of the two fighting each other to take Konoha back from Fugaku Uchiha."

"You've been waiting for that spot for a long time, haven't you?"

"whispering sound."

Danzo snorted coldly, gave Jigen a deep look, but no longer refused.

Becoming Hokage has always been his deepest desire and the goal he has been striving for. However, no matter how hard he tries over the years, he has never been able to take that final step; he always falls just short.

The Third Hokage was taken by his good friend Hiruzen Sarutobi, and he accepted it.

The Fourth Hokage was defeated by the suddenly emerging Minato Namikaze, and he accepted it.

As a result, he hasn't even become the Fifth Hokage yet, and the person who became the Fifth Hokage is actually the Uchiha clan, which he hates the most!

Now that he had completed the ritual and transformed into the ultimate ninja, Danzo could no longer suppress his desires and thoughts. Now that Jigen had directly presented this matter to him as a mission, how could he refuse?

"As for Hiruzen."

Jigen looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was silent and decades younger, and said, "The outbreak of war can bring the Ten-Tails a huge amount of food. You should understand what I mean."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes flickered slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he remained silent and nodded slightly.

Unlike Danzo, he no longer had the desire for the power of the Hokage position. In addition, now that his reputation in Konoha was ruined, apart from still holding onto the obsession of protecting the village, what he craved most at this stage had gradually become what Jigen was eating.

Become a god!

Jigen held nothing back from them, telling them everything about the Chakra Fruit and the Otsutsuki clan. The allure, comparable to that of the Sage of Six Paths, deeply attracted Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He also understood that, having already boarded Cixian's pirate ship, he had no choice but to go down this dark path!

"Don't worry, considering the scale of this war, I won't let you act alone."

Cixian spoke softly and clapped his hands.

The next moment, several figures dressed in black cloaks appeared outside the main hall.

helper?

Danzo snorted, a hint of contempt in his eyes, but when he saw the face of the newcomer clearly, his expression changed simultaneously with Hiruzen's.

In particular, Hiruzen Sarutobi stared intently at one of the group, his voice filled with shock: "This, this is impossible! His soul is clearly gone!"

"They are just clones created using the power of the Ten-Tails," Jigen explained. "However, apart from not having the same memories, their way of thinking and fighting habits are basically the same as the original. Moreover, they possess a portion of the Ten-Tails' chakra, making them much stronger than before."

"A clone, huh..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat lost in thought, his gaze lingering on one of them for a long time before he finally came to his senses...

……

No one expected that, given that Mizuki Yoru has been displaying divine power and completely dominating the entire ninja world, someone would still dare to cause him trouble, and even declare war in such a grand manner.

After the news came from the Grim Reaper and Mizuki Yoru, everyone showed expressions of sneer and mockery.

In recent years, the terrifying strength, mysterious methods, profound foundation, and powerful influence that Minazuki Yoru has displayed have long since refreshed everyone's understanding. They all know very well that the term "Kage" is no longer sufficient to describe Minazuki Yoru now.

The overlord of the ninja world, the master of souls.

Or...

Kami!

Therefore, everyone viewed Obito's declaration of war as something to laugh at, even if he killed Rasa and defeated Sunagakure.

What are you, Sunagakure? You're at the bottom of the Five Great Nations, the lowest Kage level. You think you can mess with Sunagakure like you're trying to extort Mizuki Yoru?

But things developed in a way that completely exceeded everyone's expectations. Obito not only declared war, but also fired the first shot in this war!

Tens of thousands of pure white creatures burst forth from the earth, attacking outwards from the Land of Wind as their center. In just three days, they successively conquered several small countries, including the Land of Rivers, the Land of Birds, and the Land of Waterfalls. Even the Land of Earth fell on the fifth day.

With two of the five great nations destroyed, the remaining ninjas in the ninja world only belatedly realized what was happening and hurriedly formed an allied army to jointly resist Obito's invasion.

Fortunately, the remaining three kingdoms were already closely allied, so there was no pressure in forming the Ninja Alliance.

The allied forces totaled 20,000 people, including 3,000 full-fledged Quincy, 8,000 'prospective Quincy' who had basically mastered spiritual power, and 9,000 ordinary ninjas.

These 20,000 people were divided into five combat units, each with 4,000 men. Each unit was also equipped with a Death Captain and a dozen Deaths. A massive war began within the borders of Fire, Earth and Wind!

Firewind Border, Bellflower City.

The Fourth Division Captain, Tsunade Senju, led her army and looked at the enemy that appeared before her, her expression becoming somewhat solemn.

"I never expected the enemy to be you."

Before her, Granny Chiyo of Sunagakure remained expressionless, the pale purple Rinnegan in her eye sockets indicating that she had fallen under Obito's control.

Apart from her, the eyes of the other ninjas around her were shaped like three tomoe, making them look like a large Uchiha clan army, which was quite intimidating.

"Illusion solution!"

An elite ninja formed hand seals, attempting to disrupt the chakra within a controlled Sand Village ninja in order to break the opponent's genjutsu.

But in an instant, the ninja suffered a splitting headache, coughed up blood, and collapsed.

"So you're completely under control..." Tsunade murmured upon seeing this, clenching her fist. "Then there's nothing I can do. I hope your old body can still withstand my punches!"

In response to Tsunade's words, Granny Chiyo remained expressionless, simply taking out a scroll from her ninja tool pouch and opening it.

"The White Manual: The Ten Chikamatsu!"

On the other side, within the Land of Grass, at the Kannabi Bridge.

The Second Division of the Allied Shinobi Forces, also responsible for the frontline combat, is led by the Sixth Division Captain, the former Second Mizukage of Kirigakure, Hozuki Gengetsu.

His playful, mustachioed face was completely different from the Second Mizukage's appearance in textbooks, which drew curious glances from the Allied Shinobi Forces and eased the pressure on the battlefield.

However, when a floating shadow appeared in mid-air, the grinning expression slowly faded from the mustache's face.

"For the Tsuchikage to be controlled by genjutsu and become a weapon in someone else's hands... It's a pity that the Fourth Hokage didn't bring out a few more old guys, otherwise it would be very interesting if the bandaged man saw this scene."

"A flying ninja?"

"It's the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki of the Two Scales!"

"Damn it, even the Tsuchikage has been controlled?!"

As Hozuki Gengetsu spoke, the eyes of the allied forces all focused on the small figure floating in the sky.

The pale purple Rinnegan within his eye sockets is even more astonishing.

"If the enemy is someone like you who possesses Dust Release, just like that bandaged man, then we can't just start a fight here."

Seeing the increasingly dazzling, blazing white light in the other's palm, many bubbles also appeared in Hozuki Gengetsu's hand and floated towards Onoki.

"Dust Release, Particle Style: Detachment Technique!"

"Steaming danger and violent power!"

The blazing white beam of light and the bubbles collided in mid-air, unleashing a devastating force that far exceeded the comprehension of most ninjas!

The violent explosion collided with the dust cloud that could break down everything it touched into molecules, resulting in nothing but pure destruction and annihilation!

As the light faded, the entire sky seemed to become clearer.

"Hey kid, this battlefield is yours to handle. There are still quite a few people on the other side." Hozuki Gengetsu gave orders to the guy beside him while stepping on his spiritual power, he floated into the air and started fighting with Onoki in the air.

As Hozuki Gengetsu rose into the air, a sudden rumbling sound came from the ground beneath his feet.

"Earth Escape: Digging!"

As the earth cracked, several ninjas dressed in Iwagakure uniforms poured their chakra into the ground, causing it to split open as if a volcano had erupted. Countless White Zetsu, like termites whose nest had been disturbed, surged toward the Allied Forces like a tidal wave.

"bring it on!"

The Allied Ninjas took a deep breath, their faces grim, and led countless ninjas behind them into battle against the White Zetsu and the Iwagakure ninjas.

The third unit was led by Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin and captain of the 13th Division. However, unlike the previous two units, which encountered a combination of ninjas and White Zetsu, the enemies they faced were all composed of White Zetsu.

What is striking is that the White Zetsu leading it looks quite peculiar, like a twisted, hollow shell.

“Interesting. A special White Zetsu individual. I had no idea you had this hidden skill when we worked together back then, Zetsu.”

Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth with his long, thin tongue, his golden vertical pupils gleaming with a greedy and curious light: "Truly... quite a good experimental subject!"

"Do you want to experiment on me?" Unexpectedly, the White Zetsu seemed to have heard Orochimaru's words, and actually responded by hopping and waving, while shouting, "If I let you study me, can you tell me what it feels like to defecate!"

"To...to relieve yourself?"

The abrupt words startled Orochimaru, and the expressions on the faces of the Allied Shinobi Forces behind him also became quite strange.

Need to poop? Is this guy joking?

"Is that not allowed? I just want to know what the urge to defecate feels like. Don't so many of you know what the urge to defecate is?"

White Zetsu shouted loudly, standing out conspicuously on the battlefield.

After receiving no response for a long time, White Zetsu seemed to realize that his request was unlikely to be granted. Frustrated, he jumped up and down, and then, in full view of everyone, he suddenly clasped his hands together, unleashing an incredibly terrifying amount of chakra from his body.

"Since none of you understand the meaning, then you have no value in continuing to exist!"

"Die, all of you! Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!"

With a rumble from the earth, a wooden figure with countless arms rose from the ground, its imposing presence overwhelming.

The terrifying escape technique shocked the allied forces, while Orochimaru's eyes gleamed even brighter.

"To be able to use Wood Release to this extent all by yourself... I can't wait to study you, Zetsu!"

"Those who don't understand the meaning of this, may die!"

……

The battle was fierce, but the Allied Shinobi Forces clearly had the advantage.

Although Obito had nearly 100,000 White Zetsu troops, plus ninjas from Sunagakure and Iwagakure, the number of high-level combatants was far less than that of the Allied Forces. His overall strength was even inferior to the Edo Tensei army in the original work.

But this level of warfare is far from the core of the war.

Standing on the shore of Kumogakure, the Fourth Raikage gazed into the distance. On the sea, dense formations of White Zetsu and Kumogakure ninjas were constantly engaged in battle.

The two sides' combat strength does not seem to be on the same level. Although there are many White Zetsu, they are basically no match for the Cloud Village ninjas. Only some sneak attacks hidden in the dark can cause some damage to the Cloud Village.

"The Fourth Shinobi World War? What a ridiculous clown."

The Fourth Raikage snorted coldly, thinking that instead of such attention-seeking individuals, he should continue cultivating his spiritual power.

Suddenly, a chilling feeling surged into his heart, and the Fourth Raikage instinctively dodged away, but the distorted space around him completely sealed him off.

In the blink of an eye, the surrounding world had changed.

"Damn..."

"The Fourth Raikage."

A cold voice caught A's attention. Wearing a white mask, Obito Uchiha looked down at the Fourth Raikage: "Tell me, where are the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails!"
