Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

I never expected that Danzo's Oni-Garra ritual would include such a bloodline limit!

"Crystal Release, Swift Release, Wood Release, Uchiha." Hozuki Gengetsu ignored the pure white mist that was sealed by Crystal Release, and looked at Danzo curiously: "You also have a bloodline limit, what is it?"

"Want to know? Hozuki Gengetsu."

Danzo sneered, and as he used the Crystal Release to seal the pure white mist, layers of lightning suddenly flashed and spread across the crystals.

Under Hozuki Gengetsu's astonished gaze, the lightning bolts, driven by chakra, condensed into a thundercloud. The thundercloud writhed like a vortex, and in the blink of an eye, a vast aurora of lightning erupted from it, illuminating the entire Death Forest as if it were daytime under the refraction of the Crystal Release!

"Storm Release: Thundercloud Wave!"

The Storm Release: Aurora was like divine punishment from heaven, completely covering Hozuki Gengetsu, and everything it touched was destroyed and collapsed!

This attack came too suddenly and was too terrifying, fully demonstrating the speed and power of the Storm Release technique.

The roar of the Storm Release: Lightning Dragon Aurora was deafening, as if it would destroy everything in the area, but Danzo's smile gradually froze.

He saw it.

The Mangekyou Sharingan's extraordinary dynamic vision allowed him to see the figure within the area covered by his Storm Release, a figure enveloped in vast spiritual energy.

"Swastika!"

A vast amount of spiritual power burst forth from his body at this moment. In that instant, the entire Death Forest seemed to gain ten times the gravity. Countless giant trees collapsed, the earth shattered, and even the ground of the entire Death Forest sank several centimeters!

That was a power even more terrifying than the Storm Release, a terrifying pressure that came from the depths of the soul, a pressure that felt like the sky collapsing and the earth sinking, as if the end of the world was coming!

The overwhelming spiritual power surged forth and collided fiercely with the lightning dragon aurora of the Gale Release. As the two energies clashed, the entire world seemed to freeze for a moment.

"A mirage, an illusion!"

The pure white mist expanded instantly, breaking free from the constraints of the Crystal Escape and spreading out, like a mist concealment technique, completely enveloping the surroundings.

Danzo's expression became extremely solemn. He tried to use his Mangekyou Sharingan to see through the darkness, but all he could see was a vast expanse of desolation.

Even the Mangekyou Sharingan cannot see through this fog.

"Are you ready, Hokage?"

The sudden sound, like the low murmur of a demon, rang in Danzo's ears, freezing him in place.

"Witness my Bankai!"

"Stop joking, it's just a little fog..." Danzo spread his arms wide, and countless crystals spread out, as if he wanted to use the vast crystals to dispel the strangeness of this fog.

Crystal Release is a bloodline limit with a large area of ​​effect. Combined with Danzo's chakra, which was halfway to the Six Paths after completing the Demon Seer Technique, the Crystal Release he released was extremely powerful and terrifying.

Let alone a mere Death Forest shrouded in white mist, Danzo could have covered the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

But soon, he realized something was wrong.

"Impossible, this is impossible!"

Crystals continued to grow, but no matter how much he activated his bloodline power, he could not break free from the white mist's restraint.

In desperation, Danzo poured all his chakra into his eyes, and the vast, complete Susanoo suddenly appeared.

Danzo's body was inside the crystal of the complete Susanoo, which was hundreds of meters high, but to his despair, all he could see was still desolation!

"What on earth is this..."

"May you perish completely in the illusory dream of the mirage."

Within the white mist, Hozuki Gengetsu remained indifferent, while Danzo, completely unprepared, stood motionless before him, until he was completely enveloped by Hozuki Gengetsu's explosive vapor.

then……

explosion!

Chapter 297 The Powerful Compassionate String!

Boom boom boom!

A deafening roar echoed throughout the entire Forest of Death, and the surging spiritual energy caused this dense forest, which had stood in Konoha for decades, to vanish completely in a flash of white light.

The scorching heat swept everything away, and the surging energy obliterated the area shrouded in white mist. The earth collapsed and crumbled, and the aftershocks of the explosion turned into a hurricane, sweeping away most of Konoha. The destruction was no less than that caused by the Nine-Tails attack!

As the white light dissipated and the world fell silent, the forest, like its name, was utterly destroyed in the explosion that resembled a nuclear bomb.

The dreamlike white mist still shrouded the area, and the figure of Ghost Lantern Gengetsu slowly condensed, looking down at the Death Forest below, which had been razed to the ground.

On that huge, flat valley, a broken figure lay limply on the ground, barely breathing.

"Can it still be steamed?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Hozuki Gengetsu's eyes. An ordinary recipient of Hashirama Senju's cell transplant would not survive such an injury.

But Danzo is not only still alive, his cells are rapidly healing his injuries.

"It seems that Yukiko Touna and the others' research was correct. Six Paths level life forms will completely transcend the limitations of life and become chakra life forms."

"Although Danzo has not yet reached the Six Paths level, he is already very close to it, so even if he suffers injuries of this degree, he can slowly recover."

"Unfortunately, without entering the Six Paths, chakra is always inferior to spiritual power."

Looking down at Danzo, who was steadily recovering, Hozuki Gengetsu calmly raised his palm.

"Black coffin!"

Accompanied by Hozuki Gengetsu's deep voice, several straight black lines shot out from the sky, completely enveloping Danzo who was lying on the ground.

The lines were filled with a contradictory and eerie feeling. Although they were completely black, they emitted a dangerous, faint purple light. A gravitational torrent, powerful enough to crush space, appeared with the flowing light and completely swallowed Danzo.

"Black Coffin, the offensive technique mastered by you Shinigami ranks ninety." A sudden voice rang out from behind Hozuki Gengetsu after the black coffin took shape, followed by a loud bang from the giant black coffin.

A giant black box fell from the sky and slammed heavily onto the black coffin, causing it to tremble deafeningly.

The dark wall developed slight cracks, which quickly expanded and broke apart.

"what?!"

Hozuki Gengetsu's pupils suddenly contracted, and the next moment, accompanied by a piercing cracking sound, the pitch-black giant coffin collapsed with a bang.

A figure hovered in mid-air, holding the half-dead Danzo in one hand.

"The Second Mizukage, Captain of the Sixth Division of Seireitei, Hozuki Gengetsu."

Cixian slowly spoke: "You are indeed a very interesting person, but I still have a use for this guy, so I can't let him be ruined like this."

Hozuki Gengetsu's expression was solemn as his gaze lingered on Jigen, a monk who had been meticulously documented in Kirigakure. At this moment, his body was covered with black markings, which, according to the information provided by Minazuki Yoru, represented the first stage of this celestial being's power being slightly mobilized.

"Otsutsuki..."

"Oh?" Jigen looked at Hozuki Gengetsu with some surprise, then suddenly realized: "That makes sense. It's impossible that guy didn't investigate me at all. But to be able to find these things from the traces left over from this mere thousand years of history is indeed quite interesting."

"It seems you are the one behind Danzo and Obito Uchiha!"

Hozuki Gengetsu silently channeled his spiritual power, attempting to send the message out.

But the moment he activated his spiritual power, a dark shadow descended from the sky and enveloped him.

Hozuki Gengetsu instinctively tried to dodge, but the shadow was like an all-encompassing shackle, leaving him no chance to even use his Instant Step before it descended.

"How could..."

"Buzz!"

Everything happened so fast, in the blink of an eye, Hozuki Gengetsu was sealed inside.

After the seal was applied, a piercing knocking sound came from the black, tea-pot-like sealing vessel.

'Boom! '

The black sealing cauldron trembled slightly.

Ci Xian narrowed his eyes, and the vibrations within the sealing cauldron rang out one after another, eventually forming a series of trembling sounds. Yet, even so, the sealing cauldron remained unmoved.

"Among these inferior creatures, you are indeed outstanding."

Ci Xian's lips curled up slightly, and with a slight movement of his palm, the enormous sealing cauldron shrank until it disappeared.

"Cough cough..."

After sealing Hozuki Gengetsu, Jigen channeled a stream of chakra into Danzo's body. Danzo's injuries, which had been on the verge of death, began to heal rapidly. In just a few breaths, Danzo opened his eyes.

Seeing that Jigen was grabbing him, Danzo immediately understood what had happened.

Looking at the desolate surroundings, Danzo's expression turned extremely gloomy.

He originally thought that after completing the Demon Sprout Technique, his strength had reached its peak, surpassing the former First Hokage Hashirama Senju and the Asura of the Shinobi World, Madara Uchiha.

Even if they are not as strong as Mizuki Yoru, they are still among the most powerful people in the ninja world.

Unexpectedly, he was defeated by the captain of the sixth division under Mizuki Yoru, and it was a crushing defeat!

"Even Hiruzen could defeat Tsunade, the captain of the Fourth Division, but I..." Danzo clenched his fists, his eyes filled with resentment.

"Don't worry too much. As far as I know, the Fourth Division is the Seireitei's medical division. Besides, Hozuki Gengetsu is already very strong. You won't lose by defeating his Bankai."

Cixian spoke calmly, and these words made Danzo feel much better.

Indeed, the Fourth Division is a healing division, which is why Hiruzen could defeat Tsunade. However, Hozuki Gengetsu is a veteran Kage-level shinobi with a long-standing reputation. There is a difference in combat power between the two, which is why I was defeated.

Danzo took two deep breaths to compose himself and looked at Jigen: "How's it going on your end? Did you handle the Hiashi family's little girl?"

"That's it."

"I suppose so?" Danzo frowned slightly.

“I sealed her in this space.” Cixian took out a mini black box and explained, “The power she possesses is extremely special. It can reflect all the damage she suffers back to her… Besides, she is not our target. Rather than going to great lengths to deal with her, it’s better to leave the trouble to others.”

"Complete counter-damage?"

Danzo's pupils contracted. Could there really be such a monstrous ability in the world?

“It’s not just that.” Cixian shook his head. According to his calculations, the girl’s abilities were definitely not something that could be summed up by the word ‘reflection.’ Otherwise, Cixian would have a thousand ways to easily deal with this girl.

But it was precisely because of that inexplicable sense of apprehension that Cixian chose to stop.

“Such troublesome guys, it’s definitely the best choice to just dump them on them,” Danzo said in deep agreement, then looked at Jigen with some curiosity: “Don’t you usually keep a secret? Why are you suddenly making such a big show of things today?”

In the past, Tzu-hsien was as mysterious as could be, able to conceal information and hide his whereabouts, never revealing a single detail.

But today, Jigen is acting out of character. He not only offered his help but also personally captured Hinata.

This question made Jigen glance at Danzo repeatedly.

Dude, you got completely destroyed by that team's captain, how could I not step in?

"Opportunities are fleeting and must not be missed." Cixian said calmly, "Contact Uchiha Obito as soon as possible and hand Hinata over to him. Although we don't know what Minazuki Yoru is doing, we must seize the time and the opportunity."

"understand!"

After handing Hinata over to Danzo, Jigen returned to his dimensional base to check on the Ten-Tails' condition.

With the increasing input of blood-eating chakra, the Ten-Tails' growth is quite remarkable. The chakra of the Six Paths bloodline provides far greater assistance to the Ten-Tails than usual. Although the Ten-Tails is still in its juvenile stage, it has grown considerably compared to before.

The ferocious beast slept in the pitch-black space, while at the base of the tangled trees, the figure of a young girl was bound.

She was quite young, looking no more than six or seven years old. At this moment, the sharp spikes of the Ten-Tails pierced through her back and head, and connected to them, streams of chakra were transmitted from the Ten-Tails into her body from time to time, causing her to wrinkle her little face in pain from time to time.

Cixian floated down and came to the girl's side, gently opening her tightly closed eyes.

Pure white eyes immediately came into view.

No, it's not just that.

These eyes, compared to ordinary white eyes, looked almost too pure, so pure that they exuded an incredibly eerie aura.

"It's unbelievable that such a lowly creature with a mottled bloodline could have such potential and give birth to an Eye of Evolution."

Looking into those exceptionally pure Byakugan eyes, Jigen seemed to have discovered some incredible treasure. He raised his hand with a touch of fascination and gently stroked the corner of the girl's eye: "What a pity. Hinata Hyuga seems to have even greater potential, but that guy's power is truly troublesome… Oh well, you're enough. I just wonder what kind of eyes you'll awaken…"

"If Obito Uchiha cannot become my vessel, you seem to have the potential to do so as well."

Jigen's hand gently moved from the corner of the girl's eye to the top of her head. As the Ten-Tails' chakra surged in, a strange message also merged into the girl's body.

The girl's body trembled violently, but with the help of the Ten-Tails' chakra, the trembling quickly subsided.

Seeing this, Cixian couldn't help but smile.

"Now, it's up to you how you plan to make your move, Obito Uchiha!"

……

Just as Danzo and Jigen made their move and captured Hinata and Hozuki Gengetsu.
