Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

"Devour the spirit, White Serpent!"

……

As the barrier around Kirigakure was broken, Madara Uchiha, who had just thrown two meteors, slowly stood up and walked step by step toward the gate of Kirigakure, where a large number of Shinigami and Quincy had gathered.

His gaze fell on a high watchtower at the gate of Kirigakure. His Rinnegan could clearly see streams of chakra being continuously drawn from it, attempting to repair the damaged barrier.

The Three-Tails is inside!

"It's an intruder!"

"No matter how strong you are, you're still only one person!"

"Attack together! Bind the Dao to restrict movement, break through the Dao to deal damage, and unleash Spirit Arrows for long-range coverage!"

"Yes!"

Seeing Madara Uchiha charging towards the gates of Kirigakure alone, the Shinigami and Quincy attacked simultaneously, unleashing a deluge of Kido and Spirit Arrows that covered Madara Uchiha.

Just as it was about to be submerged, an extremely powerful repulsive force suddenly erupted, shattering all the ghostly and spiritual energy arrows into a few drops of spiritual energy.

With a flash of red light, Madara Uchiha's figure had already plunged into the crowd.

The massacre has begun!

The Chunin and Jonin who possessed spiritual power were defeated in a single exchange. Although the Shinigami could put up some resistance, it was all in vain against the Shinigami's art-like fighting techniques.

"call out!"

Several glowing spirit rods shot out, and the Sixty-Second Binding Spell, chanted at full power, attempted to pin Madara's figure to the spot.

Madara Uchiha's Sharingan swirled in his eyes as he casually flicked out a black rod, which precisely blocked all the incoming spirit particle rods. At the same time, he dodged a yellow fire flash, causing it to explode on a Quincy behind him.

"Buzz!"

It's a blood-retaining outfit!

Madara Uchiha's gaze lingered on the Bloodstained Armor for a moment, then with a composed turn, he used the black rod that had blocked the Hundred Steps Barrier to strike back, piercing the heart of the Shinigami who had unleashed the Yellow Volcano, killing him instantly!

Amidst the cries of agony and agony, Madara Uchiha charged into the enemy ranks like a dancer, carrying out a cold yet efficient massacre.

Wherever they went, death followed!

While Madara Uchiha's taijutsu is somewhat similar to that of the Uchiha clan, they are fundamentally quite different.

His taijutsu is more ruthless and simple, each move deadly, an absolute killing technique. Most importantly, those seemingly simple and decisive moves are actually more flashy and stylish than the taijutsu of the Uchiha clan…

Is this the charm of the Uchiha patriarch?

Snapped!

After crushing the throat of another Quincy, Madara Uchiha's Sharingan seemed to sense something, instantly transforming into ripples.

Immediately afterwards, an incomparably magnificent straight beam of light rushed in from afar and struck Uchiha Madara hard.

"Broken Dao No. 88: The flying dragon strikes the thief and the sky-shaking thunder cannon!"

However, an infinite barrier blocked and absorbed the 88th Ghost Path that was coming on strong.

Suction seal!

Chapter 304 Yagura's Bankai! The Blooming of the Myriad Flowers!

Madara Uchiha absorbed all 88 of the Hadokyoku, but the immense spiritual power contained within still surprised him.

Looking at the two figures coming from the direction of the demonic attack, Uchiha Madara narrowed his eyes, leaped backward, and flashed onto a broken meteorite boulder. He chuckled, "An attack of this strength is finally somewhat presentable. Captain of the 13th Division, Yagura Karatachi."

"Uchiha Madara..."

Wearing the captain's haori, Yagura stared intently at Madara. He had never seen Madara before, but at this moment, he could feel a sense of familiarity from the chakra emanating from Madara.

That was back when the third patriarch was still in power!

"It's you!"

Yagura's eyes were icy cold: "So it was you who controlled the Third Hokage back then!"

When the Third Mizukage was controlled by an unknown Uchiha powerhouse, the entire Hidden Mist Village suffered greatly, and was shrouded in blood mist.

The situation remained unchanged until the Fourth Mizukage, Yoru Minazuki, appeared and broke the Third Mizukage's illusion. However, no one knew who had done it.

It wasn't until later, when Obito Uchiha repeatedly intervened and controlled the Fourth Kazekage and the Third Tsuchikage, that everyone began to believe that the control over the Third Mizukage was also done by Obito Uchiha.

But now, after sensing the chakra in Uchiha Madara, Yagura Karatachi, who was once a rival of the Fourth Mizukage and a favorite of the Third Mizukage, finally understood everything.

"The Third Mizukage?"

Hearing Yagura's words, Madara Uchiha chuckled: "That is indeed a good pawn. To be honest, if it weren't for Mizuki Yoru, I would have been quite optimistic about you as the Fourth Hokage of Kirigakure."

"What a pity. You could have become the village's kage and fulfilled your childhood dream, Yagura."

In the ninja world, not to mention the five major villages, even the ninjas from the smaller ninja villages all aspire to become the Kage of their respective villages.

However, as time has passed, Yagura no longer harbors any obsession with the shadow.

Perhaps there are still a few lingering thoughts, but Yagura has seen both Minazuki Yoru's strength and the efforts he has made for the development of Kirigakure over the years.

No one could have done a better job as the Fourth Mizukage than Minazuki Yoru!

Therefore, he felt no anger towards Mizuki Yoru. On the contrary, Yagura hated Uchiha Madara, who controlled the Third Mizukage and brought great pain to Kirigakure!

Madara Uchiha's words made Yagura's expression grow even colder. He didn't say anything more, and his Zanpakuto slowly came out of its sheath.

"A Zanpakuto, huh?"

Madara Uchiha's gaze narrowed slightly. He had already learned everything about the Shinigami from Black Zetsu, and during the group battle just now, many Shinigami had also taken out their Zanpakuto.

Although those guys' strength is negligible, their abilities are indeed quite strange and unusual. If their strength were equal, they could be quite troublesome.

According to intelligence, the Shinigami Captain possesses at least peak Kage-level combat power, making him roughly equal to him. With such an intensity of energy boost, Yagura's Zanpakuto ability will undoubtedly be extremely troublesome.

but……

So what!

"Come on, Yagura, let me see your true character!"

"Swastika!"

An unparalleled pressure erupted from Yagura's not particularly tall body.

Everyone present was shocked by Yagura's terrifying spiritual pressure. This former Kirigakure general, who once competed with Minazuki Yoru for the position of the Fourth Mizukage, finally revealed his absolute power.

A ripple of water appeared on the Zanpakuto in his hand, like an invisible wave, covering Yagura's body.

Apart from that, Yagura's Zanpakuto seemed unchanged, but Madara Uchiha's expression turned solemn.

He could sense the change in Yagura at that moment. It was definitely not a simple increase in strength or energy. The vast and chilling aura that emanated from him was among the most powerful that Madara Uchiha had ever faced.

And... what is the ability of this Zanpakuto?

"Wood Release! The World of Flower Trees Descends!"

No need to say more!

Madara Uchiha clasped his hands together and activated the chakra within his body. Instantly, countless branches rose from the ground beneath Madara's feet, spreading like a sea of ​​trees towards Yagura in front of him, as well as the countless Shinigami and Quincy standing behind him.

Yagura remained expressionless, showing no surprise whatsoever at Madara Uchiha's use of Wood Release.

The fact that the power of the Uchiha clan can be combined with the power of the Senju clan to create a myriad of phenomena has long been known. Mizuki Yoru even used this principle to help Uchiha Shisui, the former captain of the Second Division, awaken the Rinnegan.

Since Madara Uchiha possessed the Rinnegan, it's no surprise that he also possessed the power of the Senju clan.

Faced with the endless sea of ​​trees, Yagura neither dodged nor activated his Kido to fight against the sea of ​​trees, but a strange ripple appeared on his body.

The next moment, several dark red spheres pulsating with terrifying energy burst forth from Yagura's body and shot towards the sea of ​​trees.

"This is?!"

"what?!"

"When did you... this..., Lord Yagura..."

Under the bewildered gazes of the Shinigami and Quincy behind them, several spheres containing terrifying energy slammed into the surging sea of ​​trees, unleashing a series of booming sounds!

The shockwave from the explosion sent up countless wood chips, causing Madara Uchiha to furrow his brow deeply.

"Tailed Beast Ball... You're not a Jinchūriki, yet you can unleash the Tailed Beast Ball. Is this the power of your Zanpakuto?"

"But it's too naive to think that a Tailed Beast Ball of this level can stop me."

Madara activated his chakra, and a vast expanse of flowering trees surged forth, once again charging towards Yagura and the others.

Seeing this, Yagura leaned back slightly and spat out several more Tailed Beast Balls.

As the Tailed Beast Ball exploded, it limited the spread of the Sea of ​​Trees to some extent. At the same time, Yagura raised his Zanpakuto, turned around and shouted, "You all go back to support the village. Leave this to me."

The Shinigami and Quincy in the rear also understood that they couldn't be of any help in a war of this magnitude, and one by one they wisely left quickly.

But whether it was an illusion or not, as they left, they all felt the temperature around them begin to drop, and some perceptive people even noticed that snowflakes were falling from the sky.

A suffocating chill formed a white current of cold air, swirling around Yagura and spreading outwards from there.

A pale world filled the area outside Kirigakure Village, and snowflakes fell from the sky, leaving everyone somewhat bewildered. The next moment, the continuous glaciers suddenly erupted, completely freezing the approaching sea of ​​trees!

Snowstorm raged, and the air was bitterly cold.

"This is!"

The Grim Reapers and Quincy in the village noticed the surging glacier immediately, their eyes widening in surprise, followed by ecstasy.

"It's Lord Mizukage! Lord Mizukage has emerged from seclusion!"

"The Fourth Hokage is here! That's great!"

"Hahaha, with the invincible Mizukage-sama here, everything will be fine!"

The towering glacier became the best source of inspiration at this moment. Although many high-level experts present immediately realized that the spiritual pressure that created this glacier was not from Mizuki Yoru, but from Yagura Karatachi, they wisely refrained from saying anything.

"A Moonless Night?!"

Inside the Hidden Mist Duel Tower, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Tsunade and Kushina, also noticed the surging, continuous glaciers and was suddenly taken aback.

In that instant, Kushina suddenly raised her hands, and countless golden chains rushed towards Hiruzen Sarutobi, binding him tightly.

"Stop all restrictions and blockades!"

"What!?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression suddenly darkened. He tried to activate his chakra to break free of the shackles, but found that the chakra within his body was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, completely unresponsive to his urges.

Not only his chakra, but even his bloodline limit was completely suppressed at this moment, making it impossible to mobilize it in the slightest.

This is the power of the Myriad Restrictions. Once sealed by it, let alone Hiruzen Sarutobi, who is half a step into the Six Paths Realm, even a Six Paths Realm expert would find it difficult to break free!

"Heaven-reaching feet!"

A sharp shout followed immediately, and Hiruzen Sarutobi felt an overwhelming and terrifying force coming from his body. By the time he reacted, Tsunade had already struck his shoulder.

The golden chains shattered instantly, and amidst the splatter of blood, Hiruzen Sarutobi's figure crashed to the ground with a thud, thanks to Tsunade's indifferent gaze.

Kushina, don't give him a chance to resist!

"Yes, Tsunade-sama!"

In a battle between masters, victory or defeat can often be decided in an instant.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi was facing off against Kushina and Tsunade, one offensive and one support, he was momentarily stunned, which was enough to determine the outcome of the battle.

"King Kong Blockade!"

With her Zanpakuto unleashed, Kushina's Adamantine Sealing Barrier is powerful enough to seal everything.

The golden shackles fell on Hiruzen Sarutobi, but in that instant, two black rods shot out from an imperceptible, tricky angle, heading straight for Kushina and Tsunade's hearts.

"careful!"

Tsunade's pupils suddenly contracted, and her spiritual power erupted. However, the boundless and powerful repulsive force caused the density of the air she passed through to change dramatically, resulting in the air being inexplicably distorted and shimmering with a misty light.

Tsunade and Kushina were completely bound to their positions and unable to move at all.

"boom!"

Sa!

But as Kushina and Tsunade's expressions changed slightly, a metallic clang rang out, and a golden figure appeared in front of them, blocking the two Yin-Yang Release black rods that were shooting towards them.
