Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

"He's reached the level of the Sage of Six Paths..." Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widened in surprise, a strange light flashing within them: "Has that guy already reached the level of the Sage of Six Paths?!"

"I barely managed to touch that level."

Jigen spoke calmly, but he was quite surprised that Obito was able to break through to the Six Paths Realm. In his estimation, even if Obito's offerings for the Oni-Garra Ritual were excellent enough, they would at most be slightly stronger than Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo.

But Obito gave him such a surprise.

Reaching the Six Paths Realm means that Obito is no longer a 'lower being' bound by flesh and blood and lifespan. If a wedge could be carved into Obito's body, then even if he could not return to his full strength, his power would surely be restored to about 80 or 90 percent.

"grown ups."

Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "If it were me, and Danzo, how would we break through to the Six Paths Realm?"

The immense boost from the Oni-Garra Ritual has propelled Hiruzen Sarutobi to his current 'Super Kage' level, but he has no clue how to advance further.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi's yearning for a higher level led him to place all his hopes on Jigen.

“It’s very simple,” Jigen said, downing the wine in his cup in one gulp. “The so-called breakthrough to the Six Paths Realm is, in essence, the process by which you humans break through your limits and become like us ‘Otsutsuki.’ Therefore, you only need to receive the blessing of a pure-blooded Otsutsuki, and you will naturally be able to break through.”

"Unfortunately, I am currently residing in this fragile body and cannot do that for the time being. If I could be given a new lease on life and be reborn, or if I could possess a Chakra Fruit, then none of this would be a problem."

Ultimately, we still have to wait for Cixian's rebirth.

Hiruzen Sarutobi silently handed the scroll of corpses containing bloodline limits that he had collected over this period to Jigen.

Cixian took it, casually opened the dark spatial cavity, and threw all the dozens of corpses inside the scroll into the cavity.

"However, this matter cannot be rushed in a short time. There are too many people watching that guy. I can only make a move when the water is muddy enough."

A strange roar and vibration emanated from within his body. Hiruzen Sarutobi could vaguely see the vines and roots swaying, bringing with them a stench of blood: "Also, Danzo has regained control of Konoha. You can go back and take a look if you're interested."

"Danzo... he's really impatient."

……

"My clone has no way of knowing what's going on his end."

While Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jigen were talking about Obito, Kenji also inquired about the situation of the White Zetsu's main body, but naturally, he got nothing.

Obito wasn't bothered at all. Hiruzen Sarutobi's appearance was an unexpected bonus, and setting up a White Zetsu clone was a completely costless thing.

"Don't worry about that. Has the space node where that Otsutsuki from the moon descended into the ninja world been locked?"

"It's locked, but do you really want to go to the moon?" Black Zetsu, who had been silent all along, slowly spoke up: "Everything on the moon is almost unknown to us. As descendants of Hamura Otsutsuki, and as people who consider themselves to be the moon dwellers who look down on the ninja world, they must possess extremely terrifying power and methods."

"Don't you have any faith in me?"

A descendant of Hagoromo Otsutsuki, a celestial being, a descendant of gods, possessing the Tenseigan...

These things were like myths and legends to Obito, who even considered himself a successor to Madara Uchiha, and could only look up to them in awe.

But now, he has completed his transformation and entered the Six Paths Realm, giving him a completely new perspective.

"We are all descendants of immortals, and I have already reached the level my ancestors once attained. But what about them?" Obito sneered, his face full of confidence. "They only encountered Minazuki Yoru once, and after their defeat, they went back into hiding. How could I possibly be afraid of someone of this caliber!"

"Besides, there aren't many forces left in the ninja world that we can utilize. With the moon high in the sky, before Mizuki Yoru completely controls the ninja world and reaches out to the heavens, we must take the lead no matter what."

"Whether it's seizing the relics left by Hamura's ancestors first, or joining forces with them to make them fight against Gosuizuki Yoru, these are all prerequisites for me to set foot on the moon."

"...That's true."

Black Zetsu hesitated.

The idea of ​​going to the moon was not his, but rather a flash of inspiration from Obito.

To be honest, if the situation weren't so urgent, Black Zetsu would be extremely reluctant to send Obito to the moon. After all, it's the place where his mother was sealed, and the more people it attracts, the greater the impact and unexpected events will be.

What kind of impact would it have if Minazuki Yoru noticed his mother?

Black Zetsu didn't know, but he didn't have any better options right now, so he might as well think positively.

What if Obito's actions on the moon cause his mother's seal to loosen or break prematurely?

If the seal on her mother is broken, with the power that the Goddess of the Rabbit possesses, even without the Ten-Tails, she can still crush everything with her unparalleled might!

Of course, Black Zetsu himself knew in his heart that this was wishful thinking. If the seal on that rebellious son Hagoromo were so easy to break, his mother wouldn't have been sealed for so long...

Chapter 279 Collision on the Moon: Toneri Otsutsuki and Obito Uchiha!

Hiruzen Sarutobi continued collecting corpses throughout the ninja world, and with the help of White Zetsu, their efficiency was greatly improved.

However, the price of this improvement was that it was discovered by the Allied Shinobi Forces.

However, Obito kept his word and summoned a large number of White Zetsu to take the blame, successfully diverting the attention of the Allied Shinobi Forces.

"Collecting the corpses of Bloodline Limit users?"

In Kirigakure, sitting at the long-unseen Mizukage's desk, Mizuki Yoru looked at the intelligence reports coming from the front lines with some surprise.

Mizuki Akira, who had been handling frontline battle reports in place of Mizuki Yoru, nodded: "Initially, it was Orochimaru's Third Division that discovered a certain degree of scarcity in the personnel killed on both sides when they were dealing with the remains."

"At first, no one paid much attention. After all, in a war of this magnitude, it is normal for corpses to be completely destroyed. But Orochimaru soon discovered a blind spot: among all the missing corpses, those with bloodline limits accounted for 80%."

"Later, it was discovered that a large number of White Zetsu were secretly moving and disposing of these corpses."

Orochimaru……

Minazuki Yoru's lips twitched slightly. What, Orochimaru had so keenly discovered the blind spot? He guessed that guy was bored on the front lines and was thinking of going back to his old profession to do some research.

However, this is quite interesting. According to the information that Yoru has, the corpse should not be of much use to Obito.

Reincarnation in dirty soil?

This technique is no different from paper to Shinigami and Quincy who possess spiritual power, so Obito couldn't possibly be unaware of this.

Ye was somewhat curious, but didn't pay much attention. Having already secured a huge advantage, he no longer cared what would happen to Obito.

"There's no need to worry too much; just manage the overall situation well."

"Hmm." Mizuki Akira nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then looked at Yoru with some concern: "How is your plan going?"

The commotion on Shadow Isle was far too great. The entire Shadow Isle was almost completely destroyed, and the resulting terrifying pressure even reached Kirigakure, causing countless Quincy to panic.

With the fighting on the front lines, even though the Allied forces have an absolute advantage in this war, the sudden incident at Shadow Isles, which can be regarded as the 'Fourth Holy Land', still makes many Quincy somewhat apprehensive.

"Don't worry, everything is under control."

Ye put down the intelligence scroll in his hand and smiled confidently: "I have obtained the most valuable bargaining chip. All I need to do now is to take it, and my path forward will be unobstructed."

Having received Ye Zixin's promise, Jing breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on her cool face: "I believe you."

"Believe what? You're secretly doing these things the moment I'm not around!"

With a boisterous greeting, Mei Terumi pushed open the office door, leading the graceful Shinki Takoto inside.

Yoru ignored Terumi Mei's nonsense and looked at Tashin Shin-hime behind her.

As attendant goddesses of the White Snake Sage, the three goddesses, including Takoshi, almost never leave Ryuchi Cave. Even when they helped Mizuki Yoru promote spiritual power and search for promising talents like the Shadow Island, the three goddesses never left Ryuchi Cave.

I never expected that Princess Tianxin would take the initiative to come to me today.

"What happened?"

"Your Excellency, Lord of Souls," Tianxin Shenji took a deep breath, her beautiful face showing a hint of solemnity, "The White Serpent Immortal has disappeared!"

"what?!"

……

The barrier opened, space shifted, and a slightly dilapidated but heavily guarded world appeared before us.

Countless battle puppets filled every corner of the space. Obito, wielding Kamui, moved through them as if they were nothing, arriving deep within the city.

Before a lake of time-space barriers, where countless emerald green orbs of light float, capable of allowing one to leap from the Ninja World to the moon!

"What a suffocating defense. If we were to attack head-on, it would be quite troublesome." Bai Zetsu clicked his tongue, glancing back with some lingering fear. The number and strength of those puppet soldiers were extremely exaggerated. If it weren't for Obito's Kamui, a fierce battle would have awaited them.

"The Moon Otsutsuki are indeed powerful, but the situation in this city on the ground also reveals some of their true nature."

Obito Uchiha leaped into the lake, sensing the unique chakra within. As he gently touched the chakra orbs that radiated a captivating glow and stirred inexplicable emotions within him, he said, "Even in its ruins, a city like this should still be guarded, after all, a passage to the moon is hidden within it."

"But in such a crucial place, apart from the seemingly heavily guarded puppets, there isn't a single living being... Are they so arrogant that they think the people of the ninja world are incapable of finding such a hidden place, or are they so sparsely populated that they can't spare any manpower to station here?"

"It's obviously the latter, after all, they were just beaten by Mizuki Yoru not long ago." White Zetsu answered Obito's question eagerly, but then he thought about it again and felt a little curious and doubtful.

"In other words, there aren't many descendants of Hamura Otsutsuki left on the moon. But the problem is, they've always been on the moon, overlooking the entire ninja world. How could their population be so dwindling under such circumstances?"

After all, without external enemies and the pressure of survival, a ninja clan, after a thousand years of development, should be able to grow into a behemoth, no matter how foolish they are.

Look at the Sarutobi clan, they became the largest clan (in terms of population) in Konoha just by relying on Hiruzen Sarutobi's reign for twenty or thirty years!

"This is indeed a very interesting question. Perhaps we can explore it once we reach the moon." A mysterious radiance enveloped Obito. After absorbing Zetsu with the power of Kamui, Obito's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot under this radiance.

When he opened his eyes again, a desolate world immediately came into view!

Space was distorted, and both Black and White Jue looked around with curiosity.

The Naruto world also has many novels and stories, in which there are many descriptions and speculations about the moon, including various pavilions, palaces, and celestial gods and other nonsense.

But the reality on the moon was unexpectedly desolate.

Obito's gaze swept lightly over the desolate surface of the moon, then suddenly stopped.

Hei Bai Jue followed his gaze with some curiosity, and his expression froze.

"I never imagined the world we live in would be like this..."

Looking at the blue planet, Bai Jue was somewhat excited. This was the first time he had seen the entire world he lived in.

Obito's gaze was also extremely solemn, and even his eyes transformed into the Rinnegan as he looked back at the blue planet below.

"It looks beautiful, but it has long been rotten to the core."

He murmured to himself, as if evaluating his own world, or as if making a certain vow: "And I will personally rebuild this beautiful world and completely cleanse it!"

After looking at it for a moment, Obito turned around and said, "Let's go, let's get down to business first."

White Zetsu reluctantly withdrew his gaze, while Black Zetsu, who had remained silent, also turned his gaze away from the dark and deep cosmic sky and silently followed Obito's steps.

The mother he so desperately wanted to save came from this vast and boundless universe, and the thing he feared most was also hidden within it.

Yes, that's what I'm most worried about.

In Black Zetsu's mind, things like Mizuki Yoru, Obito Uchiha, the state of the ninja world, and the disruption of his plans were all unimportant.

He is special, the child of the supreme goddess of the earth, possessing an endless lifespan. Even if everything is destroyed and everything fails, he will not die, and he can continue to wait.

One hundred years, one thousand years.

Until Minazuki Yoru's soul empire collapsed, until his schemes once again enveloped the entire ninja world, until the nine tailed beasts reappeared in the ninja world and were captured one by one.

He wasn't afraid at all; he could wait.

However, those beings contained within this deep starry sky, those of his mother's kin, were the very beings that Black Zetsu truly feared, worried about, and dreaded.

He feared that before his plan could be implemented, before his mother could be rescued, those guys would discover this place and descend upon it...

That is what Black Zetsu truly fears, and it is the reason why he continues to guide Obito forward despite the near collapse of the world.

He could wait, but he couldn't afford to wait any longer.

There are three people in the southeast direction.

Obito's voice interrupted Black Zetsu's chaotic thoughts: "No, to be precise, it should be puppets... It seems that something terrible has indeed happened on the moon, to the point that the descendants of Hamura Otsutsuki have declined to this extent."

"Knowing there were intruders, sending out such a powerless puppet makes me wonder if my trip to the moon was the right thing to do or the wrong thing."

The repulsive force of Shinra Tensei easily crushed the incoming puppet. The opponent seemed to have sensed Obito's intentions and did not send out any more puppets.

Without any obstacles, Obito easily crossed the lake that separated heaven and earth left by Hamura Otsutsuki, passed through the ruins of a city that was almost indistinguishable from a city on the ground, and arrived at the Moon Palace where the last descendant of the Otsutsuki clan lived.

"I sensed the chakra of the living."

Bai Jue spoke in a low voice. He could sense the chakra in the palace in front of him, but what shocked him was that although there was the chakra of the living here... there was only one.

In other words, there is only one person left in this huge palace, and even on the entire moon!

"Despite living on the moon, isolated from the world, free from conflicts of interest, and in an extremely safe and transcendent place, this once vast clan, after thousands of years of development, has been reduced to a single person..."

Obito Uchiha stared at the towering stone gate that was slowly opening before him, his tone enigmatic, neither mocking nor curious.

But when he clearly saw the figure with its eyes closed, appearing behind the stone gate, the pure white mask paused slightly.

Isn't this only descendant of Hamura Otsutsuki a little too young?

“I know why you have come, descendant of the Feather Robe Ancestor.”
