Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

"This, this is..." As the former princess of the whirlpools, the one chosen by Mito Uzumaki, how could she not recognize this mask? "Yumi, you...?"

"Since he has already agreed, we naturally cannot let him continue to sleep under the Six Paths' command."

Ye Wen smiled gently, nodded to Yu Mei, and gestured for Miroku to get ready.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yu Mei put the mask on her face, and instantly, an aura that did not belong to this world enveloped her.

A chilling and desperate aura swept over us, as if the gates to the world of the dead had been cracked open in that instant, connecting it to the real world.

Yu Mei's brows twitched slightly, as if she were enduring some kind of intense pain, but she still tried her best to control her movements, standing with her arms outstretched and her red hair standing on end.

The next moment, a white phantom of death suddenly appeared behind her.

The figure was dressed in a white robe, with a withered and ugly face, a short blade in its mouth, and two horns on its head, just like a demon from hell in legend.

However, it was slightly different from the Shinigami that Minato Namikaze summoned on the night of the Nine-Tails' attack.

With the appearance of death, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped.

Kushina Uzumaki, standing to the side, had a solemn expression, her pretty face tense.

Even now that she has become a Grim Reaper, she remains extremely cautious about one of the most powerful sealing techniques of the former Uzumaki clan, and her spiritual power involuntarily surges within her body.

As Yumi manipulated the chakra, the Shinigami removed the short blade from his mouth and silently slashed a wound in his abdomen.

Yu Mei let out a muffled groan, and a wound immediately appeared on her abdomen, from which blood continued to flow. At the same time, a ball of blue soul light suddenly floated out from inside the 'Grim Reaper's' abdomen and landed on the open ground in front of her.

As the blue ball of soul light appeared, Kushina quickly activated her spiritual power to leave it behind.

Sensing the disappearance of her soul, the demon's expression changed slightly, but he didn't think much of it. Instead, he stretched out his other large hand and reached for Yumi's soul.

But at that very moment, an overwhelming spiritual power suddenly erupted, pressing down like a mountain!

"Spiritual energy seal!"

Maitreya, who was already prepared, let out a delicate shout, and a surge of spiritual pressure erupted, directly sealing off the surrounding space.

Just as the Grim Reaper was about to make his move, he suddenly realized that his body was firmly bound in place, and only then did he notice Miroku and the others around him.

In an instant, the previously dazed Grim Reaper seemed to have been switched on, his eyes shining as he stared at Miroku, and at the same time, his large hand that was pointing at Yumi turned and grabbed at Miroku.

This guy seems to be no different from the Shinigami who caused the Nine-Tails disaster. Not only is his appearance basically the same, but his attack methods are also exactly the same.

The intensity is far greater than before.

Death's hand, like a rubber man, stretched infinitely towards Miroku. Miroku, who was prepared, naturally wouldn't let Death attack him. At this moment, the vast spiritual power within his body erupted, and the earth trembled.

"Psionic empowerment!"

The ground churned, and stone statues burst forth from the earth, blocking the arm of death.

These stone statues were clearly not made using ordinary earth-escape techniques. Not only did their eyes radiate the light of their souls, but their movements and fighting style were also no different from ordinary people.

After blocking Death's arm, they took the initiative to attack and fought against Death.

"I'll try my best to stall this guy." After doing all this, Miroku quickly said to Yoru, "But whether I can attract their attention, I don't know."

"Don't worry, it's just an extra layer of protection."

Watching the Grim Reaper clash with the stone statue created by Miroku, Yoru spoke calmly, then slowly raised his palm: "I paid a considerable price, and considering Obito's current condition, it's enough to make the old guys below keep a close eye on things."

As deep blue and even pitch-black spiritual energy surged, the surrounding world suddenly trembled.

Seeing the spiritual power rising from Mizuki Yoru's body, everyone present couldn't help but change their expressions slightly.

The spiritual energy was as dark as ink, and its intensity was so high that it resembled a viscous substance. What was most terrifying was that there were pure white eyes with blinking pupils on the spiritual energy, as if it were observing the world on behalf of its master.

When everyone present sensed this spiritual energy, they all subconsciously tried to touch it with their own spiritual energy, but the feeling they received was like facing a vast ocean or towering mountains...

Is this the spiritual power of Mizuki Yoru, the master of souls?!

Putting aside Kushina's shock, even Yumi Uzumaki, Miroku, Hikaru Uchiha, and others who had been in contact with Yoru countless times were shocked by the immense spiritual power emanating from him.

The pitch-black spiritual energy spread out, completely enveloping and sealing off the surrounding space.

After doing all this, Mizuki Yoru took a deep breath, clenched her hands, and mobilized her spiritual power once again. The dark spiritual power condensed continuously in Yoru's palms until it turned into two dark crystals.

The crystal floated and drifted in front of Uchiha Hikaru.

"Next, it's up to you, Hikaru."

"what."

Uchiha Hikaru nodded slightly, the blood-red Mangekyou Sharingan in his eye sockets spinning continuously, symbolizing the highest level of power of the Mangekyou Sharingan eye technique, which was silently activated at this moment and acted on Naruto and Sasuke, who had entered a coma in front of him.

At this moment, Naruto and Sasuke's bodies glowed red, and the eight thousand spears imprinted by Uchiha Hikaru shone brightly!

……

at the same time.

Within the Pure Land of the Yellow Springs.

The distant world beyond is filled with an atmosphere of deathly stillness, devoid of any color other than the monotonous black and white.

Two figures sat cross-legged, resembling Buddhas meditating in tranquility, but their constantly changing expressions and furrowed brows suggested they were not at all free from worldly desires.

"Uchiha Obito..."

Otsutsuki Hamura looked solemnly at the elderly man beside him: "Brother, that guy's adaptation speed is beyond imagination. At this rate, it won't be long before he is fully adapted to the Six Paths Realm."

"Furthermore, with the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path in his hands, there is a high probability that he will discover the existence of his mother."

"Do not worry."

The Sage of Six Paths slowly opened his eyes, and the Rinnegan in his eyes also showed a strange light, clearly showing that he was also surprised by the war between Obito and Shisui.

Even so, the Sage of Six Paths remained calm: "Our seal is indestructible. Unless he can gather all the tailed beasts and devour the Ten-Tails, forcibly stepping into the realm I was in life, my mother's seal cannot fail."

"But……"

Hagoromo Otsutsuki couldn't help but want to say something.

He always felt it was strange that Obito could grow to this level in such a short time.

Although there is the major variable of Minazuki Yoru, Minazuki Yoru's power system is ultimately based on the soul, while Obito's current situation has led him down the path of chakra.

And there wasn't a single mistake!

How could someone, through their own exploration and relying solely on the knowledge of the reincarnation of Indra, achieve this level of accomplishment under immense pressure?

Hamura Otsutsuki was puzzled. He felt as if there was an invisible hand pushing something behind Obito, and that hand was not simply the reincarnation of Indra (Madara Uchiha).

After all, Obito now has completely surpassed the reincarnation of Indra!

The problem is, he and his brother had been monitoring the entire ninja world, but they hadn't found anything amiss. This very normalcy was precisely what was wrong!

"I understand your concerns, Hamura. This ninja world has never been that simple."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki said softly, "The remnants of the former natives, the scourge of my mother's clan, the ambitious Soul Dominator... they are all targets we need to take into account. Under the insidious influence of those guys, some people have made extraordinary progress, which is normal."

"All we need to do is stabilize the situation, and everything will stay under our control... Hmm?"

Hagoromo Otsutsuki paused slightly, a strange expression appearing on his face.

"What's wrong, brother?"

"Ah, so the soul of my father, who desires the reincarnation of this generation's Asura, has taken the initiative to fight against my undead for it."

"Minazuki Yoru?" Otsutsuki Hamura's eyes narrowed slightly. There are only a handful of people in the ninja world who can fight against undead, and at this stage, only Mizuki Yoru, the master of souls, can do so!

"Ah, it's him."

"What should we do? Is my brother going to hand him over?"

Hamura Otsutsuki was somewhat curious, since such direct relatives could greatly influence the reincarnation of Ashura and Indra. The reason why Ashura and Indra were merging and awakening so slowly at this stage was largely due to their upbringing.

Too cozy, too comfortable, too gentle.

Such a living environment, which fails to inspire great emotional power, will greatly slow down the awakening of Asuras and Indras.

"I won't let them succeed so easily. I've put a lot of effort into dealing with these undead this time." Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo snorted confidently.

During the Nine-Tails' ordeal, the necromancers' crushing defeat made Hagoromo Otsutsuki realize for the first time the special nature of Yoru Minazuki, and he was also severely slapped in the face by this newly born master of souls.

To prevent such a thing from happening again, he incorporated a portion of the Six Paths power into the new undead he created, making it far stronger than before.

Even if a powerhouse of Obito's caliber were to come, he might not be able to easily defeat the undead.

Moreover, even if the undead is defeated, the power of the Six Paths left behind by the Sage of Six Paths within its body will erupt, causing extremely terrifying damage to the target.

It can be said that as long as you dare to mess with the soul, you will pay the price!

The Sage of Six Paths was full of confidence, but suddenly he seemed to sense something, his smile vanished, and he stood up abruptly, staring intently at the sky.

His Rinnegan seemed to pierce through space, trying to see clearly what was happening, but the world in front of him was pitch black, as if a wall was blocking his way.

"no no……"

Hagoromo Otsutsuki's expression kept changing, and he attacked without thinking.

The sage's staff, symbolizing yin and yang, was raised, and sacred and vast chakra soared into the sky.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?!"

"Hamura! Help!"

The sudden turn of events left Otsutsuki Hamura somewhat astonished and puzzled, but since his brother had spoken, Otsutsuki Hamura did not hesitate at all. His pure white pupils reflected a terrifying attack, and the Yin-Yang Release, condensed to its extreme, gathered in his hand. Then, a dazzling golden light slashed out.

"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"

Chapter 271 Getting impatient, Old Man Six Paths

Shadow Isle, within the spiritual energy sealing array.

Vast spiritual energy continuously emanated from Minazuki Yoru's body, the pitch-black energy completely sealing off the surrounding spatial barrier, isolating everything.

Within the barrier, Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki unleashed brilliant chakra light, while Hikaru Uchiha, positioned between the two, was bathed in this vast chakra, radiating a red glow.

The chakra of Asura and Indra is powerful.

As the Sage of Six Paths' own sons, Ashura and Indra's chakra strength is undoubtedly at the Six Paths level. In addition, the two perfectly inherited the Sage of Six Paths' power, splitting it in two to become Yin and Yang, so that their strength is even above that of the current Six Paths Obito!

In fact, to some extent, as long as these two forces are combined, the power of the Sage of Six Paths can be restored.

Of course, he was merely the Sage of Six Paths in the past.

But that's enough.

Under Uchiha Taira's guidance, the power of the Eight Thousand Spears was pushed to its limit, gradually drawing out the reincarnation power hidden within Naruto and Sasuke.

In fact, according to the power of light, it is impossible to extract these two powers. Even though the strength of the Eight Thousand Spears is high enough for him to control Naruto in the original work, it is only limited to control.

After all, the power of Ashura and Indra's reincarnations was the work of the Sage of Six Paths. Based on the bias of chakra—the absolute control of high-intensity chakra over low-intensity chakra—it was impossible for Light, as a descendant of Indra, to shake this power.

But after Light received the gift of Night, mastered spiritual power, became a Quincy, and obtained her own unique sacred script, this ultimate weapon of the Uchiha clan gained power sufficient to shake the majesty of her ancestors!

Within the barrier, the Eight Thousand Spears eye technique, driven by light, continuously draws out countless amounts of chakra, creating a spectacular, even awe-inspiring, phenomenon.

That is, a large amount of chakra dissipated within the barrier, and the dense chakra even condensed into a physical form. Waves of energy overflowed from the two dark spiritual energy crystals, making the air inside the barrier extremely stuffy.

"This……"

Gazing at the surging, almost tangible tide of chakra before her, Kushina Uzumaki was stunned.

As a member of the Uzumaki clan, her chakra level was already extremely high. Combined with the power of the Nine-Tails from the past, there are very few beings in this world who can be described as having 'vast chakra' by Kushina.

But at this moment, the chakra aura emanating from both Naruto and Sasuke shocked Kushina immensely. Even the scattered fragments of chakra that were emanating from them already surpassed her peak strength!

Compared to the seemingly endless and inexhaustible tide of chakra before us, the Uzumaki clan and the Nine-Tails are utterly insignificant and not even worthy of comparison!

This is the allure of the Six Paths Realm!

The Six Realms break through the limits of species and are the threshold between mortals and immortals. Once you step into it, it is an evolution and transformation of your life level.

With this level of power, even the tailed beasts are insignificant compared to the two Six Paths level chakra sources that have been passed down for thousands of years; they are not even on the same energy level.

Even though it was night, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, somewhat shocked.

The intensity of these two chakra streams surpassed not only that of the tailed beasts, but also that of the chakra sources he had previously encountered, such as the 'star', the 'snow country's underground energy', and even the dragon veins.

The abundant chakra continuously overflowed, making the air within the barrier increasingly stuffy. The two dark psionic crystals also began to tremble incessantly, as if they were under immense pressure.

"Night, these things might not be able to..."

Kushina said with some concern. She could clearly sense the condition of the two psionic crystals, and the feeling that they could no longer withstand the pressure and were about to collapse was getting stronger and stronger.
