Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

"boom!!"

The psionic energy exploded, yet Otsutsuki Isshiki emerged unscathed. The attack that annihilated space had not caused him the slightest injury.

No.

In Minazuki Yoru's eyes, this attack was impossible to dodge; it was a move that was bound to hit. The reason it could be dodged was...

Countless images flashed through their densely packed eyes—all the possibilities and moments of the previous collision.

By using the power of time reversal, they found the opening at the moment the attack was released, and then used the abilities of 'Heavenly Hand Power' and 'Pure Eye' to manipulate space and evade.

The Strange Mechanism of Otsutsuki Isshiki!

Unfortunately, in the face of absolute power, all mechanisms are meaningless!

Looking at Isshiki Otsutsuki in front of him, Mizuki Yoru was once again enveloped by a vast, ink-like spiritual power. Layers of ink-like light, like starlight in the universe, or like the rings of a planet, wrapped around his body.

"This is……"

The immense energy pressure caused Isshiki Otsutsuki to raise an eyebrow slightly, but a hint of secret joy appeared in his eyes.

This energy is extremely powerful. If I'm not mistaken, this power should be the power of the ninja world that Mizuki Yoru possesses, or perhaps a part of the power of all living beings in the ninja world.

With the support of this power, Minazuki Yoru's combat strength has increased, but it is still within his tolerance range.

In other words, he can fight this battle!

"Holy Mie Ya!"

"Dragon Palace - Great Heavenly Box!"

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's eyes suddenly burst forth with brilliance, and the radiance of Ame-no-Hashi Ryusei-no-Mikoto shone upon the magnificent Ōkakuten sky. Cubes descended from the sky, instantly cutting the entire space into countless dreamlike mirrors.

The sacred arrow of Mizukiyo refracted countless iridescent ink colors in the mirror labyrinth. The aftershocks of the surging energy had not yet dissipated when Isshiki's figure looked down on this space like a god, and magatama that were fused with black rods and black boxes rained down like a storm.

Mizuki Yoru gripped the dark gold spirit blade and swung it continuously, deflecting all the attacks. Although she was not injured, her movements were inevitably momentarily halted.

Seeing this, Yi Shi felt much more at ease.

His prediction was correct; the combined power of the seven Otsutsuki was enough to contend with Minazuki Yoru. Even if he mobilized the power of the ninja world, he could still clash with it.

However, if you add the spiritual power within those countless living beings, his power might not be enough.

However, although Minazuki Yoru may have reached an extremely high level in terms of power, his mentality is still at the stage of a human being who is only a few decades old.

Minazuki Yoru would not recklessly engage in actions such as arbitrarily extracting energy from living beings, toying with life, and trampling on order unless absolutely necessary.

and so--

"As long as we seize the opportunity and complete the seal before he fully concentrates his power, victory in this war will belong to me!"

Otsutsuki Isshiki's eyes gleamed, and his fighting stance grew even more ferocious.

Upon hearing this, Mizuki Yoru, who was in the Dragon Palace Ōshakuten, couldn't help but smile.

"The fish has taken the bait."

Chapter 360 Minazuki Yoru VS Otsutsuki Isshiki!

Seeing Otsutsuki Isshiki growing stronger with each battle, Mizuki Yoru couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Don't be fooled by his current fierce battle with Isshiki, and the fact that he still has many trump cards up his sleeve and can control Isshiki at any time. If Isshiki insists on escaping, Mizuki Yoru will be in real trouble.

This guy, Yishi, has mastered too many abilities at this stage, and almost every one of them is a top-tier mechanism.

Spatial teleportation, energy blockade, spatial restriction, time reversal.

If Isshiki insists on running away, with the existence of the Sumina Hikona technique, it would be difficult for Mizuki Yoru to stop Isshiki's escape.

And this Ōtsutsuki, who has been lurking in the ninja world for a thousand years, is extremely meticulous. At the slightest disturbance, he flinches like a startled rabbit. Before my spiritual power completely consumes this space, let your final brilliance shine forth, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki!

"Om!!"

The power of space was activated silently, and Otsutsuki Isshiki's figure appeared in front of Minazuki Yoru in an instant amidst endless energy ripples. In his palm, an unstoppable chakra spear stabbed fiercely towards Minazuki Yoru's neck.

Mizuki raised her hand to block the spear, and the indestructible Golden Wheel Reincarnation condensed instantly, while the golden sword was covered with a layer of grayish, corrosive power from the All-Killing Ash Bones.

The close-quarters combat resumed, with a series of muffled thuds of fists and feet striking each other and the clanging of weapons echoing through the dilapidated space.

The two seemed to be evenly matched in combat, and their clash of omniscience and omnipotence and time reversal was also evenly matched. Minazuki Yoru's fighting skills since the start of the battle were exquisite, but Isshiki's physical prowess far surpassed that of other Otsutsuki, and was in no way inferior to Minazuki Yoru.

This seems to be a 50/50 battle.

After a collision, the two suddenly separated, only to collide again with an even more ferocious force.

Otsutsuki Isshiki gripped the chakra device in his hand and hissed, "Aren't you going to extract the spiritual power from those people? You can revive them anytime, anywhere, can't you?"

"A provocation? That's far too low." Mizuki Yoru snorted in response, "Even without using the spiritual power of the ninja world, it seems you can't gain the upper hand against me. You're destined to be the loser in this war, Isshiki!"

"Is it."

The two clashed several more times. In one last exchange, Isshiki suddenly produced a pitch-black artifact in his hand, from which a powerful aura of chakra emanated.

Upon seeing this artifact, Mizuki Yoru's brows furrowed deeply, her eyes revealing extreme solemnity. Her spiritual energy surged continuously, as if she wanted to use the power of the burst of spiritual energy to create distance between herself and Otsutsuki Isshiki.

But how could Yi Shi give Mizuki Yoru a chance to break free? His pure eyes shimmered with a pale blue light, and the space around him was completely sealed off in that instant!

"Prepare yourself to feel endless loneliness in eternal stillness!"

With a chilling voice, the weapon in his hand suddenly burst forth with pure white mist, completely enveloping Minazuki Yoru.

The pure white mist surrounding Minazuki Yoru instantly condensed into a black crystal, completely freezing and sealing Minazuki Yoru's figure inside.

The jet-black crystal shimmered under the refraction of energy, and the Minazuki Yoru sealed within it appeared remarkably lifelike. However, aside from her lifelike appearance, everything about Minazuki Yoru—including her aura and energy—had vanished completely.

The seal is successful!

"You are indeed powerful, but it is precisely this power that led to your downfall."

Looking at Minazuki Yoru, who stood before him like a statue, Otsutsuki Isshiki finally managed a smile, the first time he'd seen since the start of the battle: "Time Freeze, it seems your omniscience and omnipotence didn't see through this move."

"..."

The water was still and the night was silent. He was frozen in time, just like a sculpture, which made Yishi even more certain that he had succeeded.

The sealing technique of Time Freeze is extremely special. It is an ultimate sealing technique performed by using special tools and the unique chakra of the Otsutsuki clan. Once hit by this technique, unless the caster personally intervenes to remove it, all energy, matter, and time on the person hit will be suspended.

Moreover, this technique does not have the concept of 'reserved energy'; its energy source belongs to the caster himself.

In other words, even if the caster is at the ends of the earth, as long as the caster's energy is not exhausted, the spell will not end!

"What immense energy... Well then, I'll store this energy within your body for now." After confirming that Minazuki Yoru was sealed by his Time Freeze technique, Isshiki looked at the seal with some emotion, then opened a spatial wormhole, preparing to head to the Shinobi World.

Although Mizuki Yoru was sealed away, the energy within him was immense, but the energy in the ninja world was equally considerable.

Whether it's the origin of the ninja world or those people who possess spiritual power within it, this energy is a feast for Isshiki!

Moreover, once he finishes this feast, he can turn around and devour the real main course, Minazuki Yoru!

After glancing at Minazuki Yoru once more, Isshiki's figure headed straight for the distorted spatial wormhole. But just as his figure passed through the wormhole, a strange feeling suddenly welled up in Isshiki's heart.

"Oh!"

The space that should have been under his complete control suddenly distorted, and its spatial strength was increased exponentially in Yi Shi's perception. His spatial wormhole even distorted and collapsed at this moment.

As a result, Shiki's body was forced to retreat from the spatial wormhole.

The unusual change left Isshiki Otsutsuki somewhat bewildered. Besides Mizuki Yoru, could there be another person in the world who knew about his space, and could it be sealed off in such a way?

Who is it? Is it Obito Uchiha, left behind on the moon by Mizuki Yoru? Or are they those inferior beings in the ninja world who inherited Mizuki Yoru's power?!

Before Isshiki could even guess, a stream of iridescent, dark spiritual energy slowly flowed out from the spatial wormhole opened by Isshiki's Yomotsu Hirasaka, making Isshiki realize who the culprit behind all this was.

"Water! No! Moon! Night!"

"Ah, it's me."

A detached voice came from behind Isshiki, making Isshiki's expression turn extremely gloomy.

In Isshiki's eyes, time had been completely frozen by him. Mizuki Yoru, who was sealed inside the black crystal, began to exude dark spiritual power. The black crystal shattered like the wind, turning into energy dust and disappearing, revealing Mizuki Yoru inside.

"While you were trying to seal me with the Time Freeze spell, I was also using my spiritual power to completely pull your dimensional space into my invisible empire."

"This space is not my source of power, Minazuki Yoru, you've got the wrong target!" Otsutsuki Isshiki suddenly turned around, his vast spiritual power condensing into an indestructible chakra blade, which fell fiercely towards Minazuki Yoru's neck.

Despite such attacks, Minazuki Yoru remained unmoved and continued speaking as if nothing had happened.

"Of course I know this is not the source of your power. You could even say it's just a space you created with your chakra to live in temporarily, just like the houses that ninjas in the ninja world create with earth and wood release."

"But a house, to put it nicely, is a place to live, a safe haven from the wind and rain. But to put it bluntly... it's a cage and shackles."

"In your eyes, you are fighting me to find an opportunity to seal me away, but in my eyes, it is only to allow me to completely block all your escape routes."

"After all, your escape skills are definitely top-notch in the world, aren't they?"

"A moonless night on the water!!!"

Hearing Minazuki Yoru's relaxed tone, Otsutsuki Isshiki's emotions fluctuated so dramatically for the first time, even to the point of his eyes widening in fury.

Unparalleled chakra was fully concentrated at this moment, and the chakra blades that were attacking Mizuki Yoru collided continuously. With the support of chakra, they instantly transformed into a hundred-meter-long giant blade, like a divine sword that could cut the heavens and the earth apart. It was held in the hand of Otsutsuki Isshiki and descended from the sky.

At this moment, the entire world and the entire space seemed to be cleaved apart by Otsutsuki Isshiki.

"Go to hell, you bastard!!"

“You’re getting a little anxious, even furious, first move.”

Seeing Otsutsuki Isshiki continuously channeling chakra towards him, attempting to kill him directly with his power, Mizuki Yoru smiled slightly and pointed his finger at him as he approached.

"You know, I never mind playing games with my prey for a while. Secondly, you'd better not say anything too arrogant, as that will only make you look weak."

"Ninety-nine of the Broken Paths: Five Dragons Transformed into Destruction!"

boom! ! !

A surge of spiritual energy suddenly erupted from behind Minazuki Yoru. An indescribable, terrifying spiritual pressure, seemingly capable of crushing the entire world, instantly condensed into five terrifying dragons of spiritual energy, which raged and slammed towards the chakra giant blade and Otsutsuki Isshiki in mid-air.

The dragon danced wildly, completely crushing the external energy of the chakra blade, but the figure of Isshiki, who held the core blade, forcefully pierced through the raging energy field of the Five Dragons' Annihilation.

But before he could declare himself the victor, or even before he could make his next move, Mizuki Yoru's indifferent voice rang in his ears once more.

"The fires of the ninety-six capitals were extinguished."

An overwhelming surge of spiritual power erupted in an instant, and Otsutsuki Isshiki felt that in that instant, the world was empty and all things were silent.

The chakra blade in his hand shattered completely under this spiritual pressure. Immediately afterwards, an unstoppable bone armor burst forth from his body, continuously growing and binding him from within, instantly enveloping his entire body.

Then it fell limply to the ground.

Everything is going as planned.

The moment this space was pulled into the Shadow Dimension by Minazuki Yoru and sealed off, the war had already come to an end. Otsutsuki Isshiki had no chance of defeating Minazuki Yoru, and the probability of escape also dropped to zero at that moment.

Everything had already been reflected in Minazuki Yoru's eyes.

Looking at the cross-shaped skeleton at the center of this space, Mizuki Yoru casually waved his hand, and the entire world was contained within him.

This space, under his spiritual power, will become the best tool for refining Otsutsuki Isshiki, until everything in this space is completely devoured by Minazuki Yoru.

"With all the prey captured, it's time to fully engage in the struggle for supremacy in this world."

……

Ninja world.

This final battle between Minazuki Yoru and Otsutsuki Isshiki didn't actually have much impact on the ninja world; in fact, the entire ninja world was unaware of the beginning and end of this war.

The battle took place primarily within Isshiki's dimensional space, and Mizuki Yoru didn't mobilize much of the ninja world's power, only briefly summoning a portion at the last moment before quickly returning it.

When Mizuki returned to Kirigakure, the White Snake Sage was still there.

"What on earth is this..."

Looking at the reappearance of Mizuki Yoru before him, the White Snake Sage asked with a solemn expression, "Just now, there was another huge energy fluctuation throughout the entire ninja world."

"You defeated Hagoromo and mastered the Five Elements Origin of the Ninja World. Right now, you're the only one in the entire Ninja World who can draw upon the power of the Ninja World's origin, right? Did you just draw upon the power of the Ninja World?!"

Although it was a question, it was spoken with certainty. But what kind of enemy could make Mizuki Yoru mobilize the power of the ninja world at this stage?

Could it be that……

As if realizing something, the White Snake Sage's pupils suddenly contracted, and he stared at Minazuki Yoru in disbelief: "What you just said about closing the net, could it be that...!"

"Ah, it's all taken care of."

Mizuki nodded slightly and said without any pretense, "I said I wouldn't make you, or this world, wait too long."
