Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

Upon hearing the noise, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been waiting behind the portal, looked up and immediately noticed the change in Madara Uchiha.

"It seems you've made a deal with your master, Lord Uchiha Madara."

Ban snorted softly and clenched his fist: "He does indeed possess extraordinary power."

"...Was it worth it?" Hiruzen Sarutobi stared intently at Madara Uchiha before him. "You should understand the price of accepting this power, right? Was it worth it?!"

Madara Uchiha chuckled lightly: "There's no such thing as worth it or not. Since you've chosen this path, you just need to keep going."

"This sad world needs someone to change it, and there are some things that if I don't do them, then no one else in this world will do them."

"I want to change this world. I want to bring true eternal peace to this world. If the price for achieving this goal is my life, then I'll give it up."

"This is the ninja way of Uchiha Madara! You brat from the Sarutobi clan!"

With a single step, Madara Uchiha vanished from Hiruzen Sarutobi's sight.

From a dark corner, Danzo, clad in the Hokage's robes, slowly emerged. Looking at the spot where Madara Uchiha had disappeared, he spoke slowly: "Back then, he fought with the First Hokage for this very ideal. He believed in ruling the entire ninja world with absolute power, while the First Hokage wanted to use a balanced approach, exchanging peace for peace."

"Now it seems he was right, and the First Hokage was wrong."

"He's never changed, Danzo," Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a sigh. "His goal, his dream, has never changed: to change the entire ninja world. And us..."

"My beliefs have never changed! Don't try to portray me as as depraved as you, Hiruzen!"

Danzo sneered, "Becoming Hokage and leading Konoha to a brighter future has always been my dream, and that has never changed. But you, Hiruzen, you have long since betrayed your own heart!"

"But do you really think Konoha is better now than it was back then? We're trying to get something out of a tiger, Danzo!"

"The path to a better future is always arduous, and I am leading Konoha through that process!"

"...You'll regret this, Danzo."

"I am the Hokage, Hiruzen!"

Danzo's tone left no room for doubt: "Whether you become Hokage or the Six Paths, the most fundamental thing in whatever you do is a steadfast heart."

"And you, Hiruzen, you no longer have the heart that could make you strong, that could keep you going in this chaotic world. Based on that alone, I will eventually surpass you, Hiruzen!"

"I……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen fell silent.

……

Within the Uchiha clan.

After leaving the memorial monument, Obito went to the Uchiha clan's territory and returned to his former residence.

He picked up a broom and, with the help of the moonlight, swept the empty courtyard until it was spotless before sitting down at the entrance.

When he was little, he would always help his grandmother go out. The old woman, who was always bent over, always treated him with the gentlest manner and gave him all her kindness and love.

He didn't know when it started, but his grandmother left him, and Rin and Kakashi disappeared from his side. Konoha, which he once loved the most, became the village he hated the most.

Outside, Madara Uchiha, who arrived late, looked at Obito inside the house, then his gaze fell on Toneri Otsutsuki, who was standing outside the courtyard.

Otsutsuki Toneri frowned. He felt that Uchiha Madara in front of him was somewhat different, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was different.

"It's all coming to an end."

Obito spoke softly, slowly standing up: "I will end everything. The history of the ninja world will be completely turned upside down starting with the name Uchiha Obito..."

"Om!!"

An inexplicable fluctuation interrupted Obito Uchiha's emotional buildup. Almost instantly, Obito inside the courtyard, along with Madara and Toneri outside, simultaneously turned their heads to look at the bright moon in the sky, their pupils contracting.

……

Between the Earth and the Moon.

With the help of the spiritual particles covering it, a golden light flashed in the vast universe, and the figures of Minato Namikaze and Hikaru Uchiha emerged from it.

The moon, which used to hang high in the sky, now appeared enormous. Uchiha Hikaru and Namikaze Minato could even see every crater on the moon.

The ninja world they once lived in was now far behind them, its seventy percent of the planet being a vibrant blue, leaving both of them with expressions of surprise and awe.

"Is this the ninja world we live in?"

Minato Namikaze murmured, his gaze sweeping over the land of this blue planet.

That golden expanse must be the Land of Wind, while the somewhat hazy and barren land is the Land of Earth.

The Land of Fire must have the most lush vegetation, a verdant expanse.

There's also the Land of Water, the Land of Thunder, the Land of Snow...

When his former home came into view, Minato Namikaze was clearly a little excited, but he quickly calmed down and looked at Hikaru Uchiha beside him.

"I apologize, Lord Uchiha Hikaru, I was a bit out of line."

“No need for that. Anyone who sees this sight will be awestruck,” Uchiha Hikari said softly. Even someone as composed as her couldn’t help but feel awe upon seeing the moon and the earth in such a magnificent display.

The ninja world is already so magnificent and spectacular, so how many powerful figures and how many extraordinary deeds exist in this boundless universe!

The two silently watched all of this, looking at their former homeland, at the enormous moon before them, and at the vast and boundless universe.

“My Bankai has sealed off the space in this area. Although I don’t know Obi-Dragon’s current situation, as long as we launch a combined attack, destroying the moon shouldn’t be a problem.”

After a long while, Minato Namikaze took a deep breath and said in a deep voice to Hikaru Uchiha beside him, "Now it's up to you."

"Do not worry."

Uchiha Hikaru nodded slightly and instantly entered the state of Perfect Saint Body.

A gigantic, one-eyed being floated in the sky. The Shinigami and Quincy in Kirigakure simultaneously felt a loss of spiritual energy, followed by a blood-red light that emerged from their bodies.

Eight thousand spears!

Spiritual energy transfer!

Vast spiritual power was continuously amplified by Uchiha Hikaru's eye technique and energies into Namikaze Minato. In his Bankai state, Namikaze Minato took a deep breath and, after ensuring absolute control over the surrounding space, slowly raised his palm, pointing it at the enormous moon in front of him.

"At the edge of a thousand hands, the supreme hand cannot reach the darkness, the archer of the heavens cannot illuminate..."

A deep chant slowly poured out from Minato Namikaze's mouth, and the vibrating spiritual energy continuously overflowed, causing the surrounding space to tremble and groan.

If Minato Namikaze hadn't used his Bankai to restrict space, such a massive spiritual energy reaction would probably have been noticed by others long ago!

"No spiritual energy leakage whatsoever, very good, keep it up."

While maintaining the spiritual energy transmission of the Eight Thousand Spears, Uchiha Hikaru also scanned the surrounding space.

With the support of a massive amount of spiritual energy, the spiritual energy reaction of Minato Namikaze's fully chanted 91st Hadō was extremely exaggerated. Even in her Perfected Body state, she felt immense pressure from that spiritual pressure.

As for how to shield this spiritual pressure from outsiders without causing a huge commotion, in the current Seireitei, no one but Minato Namikaze can do it.

Dark clouds loomed over the city, threatening to crush it. At this moment, the entire sky seemed to be shrouded by an incomparably vast and powerful force!

"Light Bullet, Eight Bodies, Nine Stripes, Heavenly Scripture, Swift Treasure, Great Wheel, Gray Turret..."

The low chant gradually rose in pitch, and as the vast spiritual energy condensed, countless cones of spiritual energy began to appear around Minato Namikaze. The points of light were like shooting stars streaking across the night sky, ready to be unleashed under Minato's guidance.

With their appearance, the whole world seemed to be illuminated by this light, but it was completely restricted by the distorted and sealed space.

Like a crystal that has been infinitely compressed, it twists, blossoms, and sublimates, containing countless secrets.

then.

Bloom!

"Hado Chapter Ninety-One..."

"Thousand-Handed Sky-Piercing Cannon!"

hum! ! !

The moment the words fell, all the beams of spiritual energy shot out simultaneously, heading straight for the magnificent moon before them.

The spiritual energy erupted, and countless Thousand Hands Heavenly Cannons filled the sky, like stars falling from the heavens, forming a vast meteor shower, with each one landing on the moon.

Unimaginable vast spiritual power erupted in that instant, and as all the light cones fell, the entire moon began to tremble violently!

That was a tremendous commotion that the Flying Thunder God Barrier could not conceal; it was a commotion that the entire ninja world could feel.

In that instant, all living beings in the entire ninja world subconsciously raised their heads and looked up at the sky.

"What's going on? What happened?!"

"The sky! It's the sky!"

"Are you kidding me? Is that the moon? How could the moon look like this!"

Sound cannot travel through a vacuum, but the enormous commotion caused by the collapse of the moon is beyond description by mere sound.

The tranquility of the night was shattered at this moment, and countless people were horrified, swallowing hard as they looked up at the sky.

In their eyes, the celestial body that should have hung in the sky forever, bringing light to the ninja world's creatures at night, suddenly burst forth with an extremely dazzling brilliance, followed by the appearance of cracks.

then……

broken!

The moon is shattered!

Chapter 317 Minato Namikaze, Died in Battle!

The anomaly on the moon could not be concealed at all; almost all living beings in the ninja world could sense it, not to mention Obito Uchiha and others, as well as Toneri Otsutsuki, who was already connected to the giant Tenseigan on the moon.

At the moment the moon collapsed, Obito and the other two all looked towards the moon, their expressions filled with shock.

In their sight, beams of energy, like a meteor shower, continuously struck the surface of the moon. Under this bombardment, the massive moon began to crumble until its entire core shattered.

Then, it collapsed!

“This kind of thing…” Obito Uchiha’s eyes narrowed involuntarily. Even though he now possessed the fighting power of the Sage of Six Paths, he never imagined that one day he would witness the collapse of the moon.

Madara Uchiha's brows furrowed deeply. The situation seemed to be escalating more and more dramatically. If his senses were not mistaken, the meteor shower that struck the moon was formed from spiritual energy.

In other words, the person who caused this cataclysmic scene is Kirigakure!

And their goal is...

Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha both turned their gazes to Toneri Otsutsuki, who was standing beside them in a daze.

As seasoned collaborators, they clearly understood why Otsutsuki Toneri was so powerful; the biggest reason was the giant Tenseigan that Otsutsuki Toneri controlled.

Now that the moon has shattered, everything on the moon will cease to exist, including that giant Tenseigan!

"no, I can not."

Toneri's figure vanished from his spot in an instant. With the help of his connection with the giant Tenseigan, he entered Tenseigan Chakra Mode the moment the moon collapsed and rushed towards the moon at an extreme speed.

If he can prevent the giant Tenseigan from being destroyed before the moon completely collapses, he can preserve this power.

But if he were still to break apart like the moon...

Without his special protection of the giant Tenseigan, the basic energy of the Moon Palace Barrier alone would not be enough to support the giant Tenseigan to survive under this level of collapse.

Not to mention the ever-watchful Mist Village!

Otsutsuki Toneri was anxious and transformed into a streak of dark green light, heading straight for the moon.

But the moment he left the ninja world, a magnificent spiritual power suddenly burst forth, and then the space around Otsutsuki Toneri was completely sealed off!

"Sorry, this road is blocked!"

After releasing Hado No. 91, the culprit that destroyed the moon has arrived in front of Otsutsuki Toneri. With the help of the Eight Thousand Spears of Light, his spiritual power has been restored to its peak.

"Get out of my way!" Otsutsuki Toneri roared, his golden sword piercing the sky, shining like the sun, its brilliant golden light flashing and disappearing in an instant.

As the golden light flashed, Minato Namikaze's figure flickered to the side.

Within the Flying Thunder God Barrier, he is invincible!

"You can't go anywhere until the moon completely collapses!"

"May your wish be fulfilled!"

The repulsive force, brimming with rage, was released without reservation at this moment. With the support of the massive Tenseigan's vast chakra, this burst of repulsive force was no less powerful than Obito Uchiha's Shinra Tensei that wiped out Kirigakure!

Minato Namikaze was shocked; such a large-scale super AOE attack was a real waste of his Flying Thunder God Barrier.

Repulsive force blockade, suppression without blind spots.

Minato Namikaze only saw a flash of golden light before the unstoppable Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion directly severed his right arm, which was holding the Flying Thunder God Kunai.
