Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

The Divine Tree!

"Our Otsutsuki clan, by taking advantage of the properties of the Divine Tree, has been continuously devouring planets and chakra fruits in the universe, hoping to use this power to break through to the legendary realm of gods. But this is not a secret to some equally powerful races in the universe, and they are doing similar things."

"The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, is normal."

“However, we Otsutsuki do not wish to see this.” Otsutsuki Isshiki slowly said, “This world is only so big, and the total amount of resources is only so much. Every time a god appears, it means a reduction in the total amount of energy available to the world.”

"For gods, one, or rather, one race that can become a god, is enough."

Chapter 366 If the Otsutsuki can go, so can I!

The resources of the entire universe are constant; there is only so much of it. However, the number of people who crave resources is constantly increasing.

In order to survive, to grow, and to gain power, countless creatures greedily absorb the world's resources to empower themselves.

The large cake was continuously divided and eaten until there was very little left.

"When everyone starts on the same footing, everyone has the right to compete. But when I have already crossed the finish line, achieved success, and have the power to control the game to a certain extent, why should I sit idly by and watch more people share this pie?"

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's words were devoid of any emotion, as if he were stating a cold, hard reality.

The roots of the divine tree in his hand wriggled like tentacles, as if devouring something in the void, much like the Otsutsuki clan's frantic quest for energy.

"No one wants to let their prey escape, and no one wants to have another competitor on their path forward."

"Lord Shibai, and those ancestors who have already become gods, they have long been controlling everything at the finish line, using the power of space, the power of time, and the power of rules to restrict all foreigners who take that path to the greatest extent possible."

The divine tree emitted countless silver lights, like a sky full of stars, or like a celestial net that had been woven long ago.

The Heavenly Net covers the sky, like an impenetrable black cloud. The closer you get to that Heavenly Net, the more you can feel the restriction and pressure brought by that barrier, like a sighing wall that can never be broken through.

"High-dimensional suppression, is it?"

Mizuki slowly uttered the word. At this moment, he understood why he had that strange feeling of being observed when he was using the plow.

Because of the power of the plow, he has already touched the limits of this world to a certain extent. With the power of the plow to travel through time and space, he has the opportunity to devour all things and become a god!

That's not the most terrifying thing. What Ye fears most is that if the Otsutsuki from higher dimensions even possess the ability to observe timelines, then once they notice the future of the timeline he is in...

"You guys are really something... Is this what they call the foundation of a sect?"

Ye Xin didn't know whether to smile bitterly or helplessly. Indeed, how could he compare to the Otsutsuki Universe, which was built up over thousands of years by countless ancestors who had roamed the universe?

"It seems you've already figured it out."

Otsutsuki Isshiki chuckled and said calmly, "Minazuki Yoru, I admit your excellence and talent. Among the people I know, no one can surpass you. Even the geniuses of the main clan cannot compare to you."

"But that's reality. Your talent can allow you to transcend the limitations of a lower-class life, but that's all it can do. Perhaps you can gradually develop and grow in the universe to the level of me, or other members of the Otsutsuki clan, or perhaps go a little further up."

"But if you want to break through the limitations and become a true powerhouse, then I can only describe it as wishful thinking, because for you, the road ahead is already full of limitations."

Indeed, the power wielded by Mizuki Yoru, the spiritual energy techniques of the Soul Master, is like a completely new power system for this world.

If he continues to grow, Minazuki Yoru is destined to become a powerful ruler.

But if that's all there is to it, how could Minamizukiyo be so content?

The things that Otsutsuki Isshiki mentioned were easily obtainable for Yoru; what he truly desired was something on a higher level!

"Is there no road left...?"

Ye Kou murmured, a strange light flashing in his eyes, which was definitely not a look of resignation!

He looked at Isshiki Otsutsuki: "If I gave you a vessel that would give you a new life, what would you do next?"

"You're really willing to give me this weapon?!" Otsutsuki Isshiki looked at Yoru with some suspicion. After saying those words, he had already prepared himself to be completely annihilated by Minazuki Yoru, but he didn't expect Minazuki Yoru to actually ask him a question in return.

Is it because of despair about the future that they're preparing to see my pathetic face?!

That makes sense, since once he is resurrected with the help of the device, what awaits Minazuki Yoru is not only his attack by Otsutsuki Isshiki, but also the threat of the Otsutsuki clan!

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki sneered, "If you want to make a sarcastic remark, then you'd better speak up now. I can understand your despair and resentment at the hopelessness you feel about the future..."

"don't want?"

"W-what?" Yi Shi asked, somewhat taken aback. "You're really willing to provide me with a device?"

Minazuki Yoru did not speak again, but Otsutsuki Isshiki was clearly finding it difficult to restrain himself.

No one can refuse to live, especially for the Otsutsuki, who possess eternal life and the opportunity to ascend to godhood.

The chance to survive was right in front of him. Even though he knew that this was likely just a joke or a scheme by Mizuki Yoru, countless thoughts flashed through his mind at that moment.

"I want!"

Yi Shi gritted his teeth and said, "Since you're willing to give me a weapon, then come on!"

Mizuki Yoru didn't say much, but instead retrieved Isshiki's Soul Wedge.

The wedge-shaped technique is extremely valuable; if the other party is truly unyielding and unwilling to cooperate, then he really has no way to deal with it.

But since the other party doesn't want to die like this and still wants to live, then he has a very easy time maneuvering.

With his current strength, it's not impossible for him to stuff something into the vessel and thus influence Isshiki Otsutsuki to some extent, although it's somewhat difficult.

"With my current abilities, it is obviously unrealistic to challenge an existence of the level of Otsutsuki Shibai. In addition, due to the limitations of time and space, the Otsutsuki God has already cut off my possibility of using the plow to travel around in different time and space."

"So, at this stage, I can only develop within the timeline I'm currently in..."

This doesn't seem like good news. The existence of Otsutsuki gods like Shibai Otsutsuki means that Yoru can't use the plow recklessly, and it also means that Yoru must confront the Otsutsuki from his timeline head-on.

And... he doesn't have much time left!

Many of the Otsutsuki that he killed may have been resurrected on the vessel and returned to the world through the help of the wedge.

And faced with this audacious fellow who devoured the Otsutsuki, the Otsutsuki would certainly not let him off easily.

Surround and kill! Loot!

More Otsutsuki!

The Otsutsuki clan is not taking any information lightly!

This will be a disaster for both the night and all living beings in the ninja world!

This is the true foundation of the Otsutsuki clan! In terms of limits, they have Otsutsuki gods like Shibainai residing at the top of the universe, restricting everything. On a cosmic level, the Otsutsuki clan itself recklessly plunders the universe, devouring its energy.

No wonder Isshiki said those words, because he knew just how enormous the advantage held by the Otsutsuki was, and how unshakeable it was for someone like Minazuki Yoru.

but……

"The road ahead is something that only appears when you go out and explore it, isn't it?"

There was no fear in Mizuki Yoru's eyes. Perhaps the original future of the ninja world was the eternal night rule of the Otsutsuki clan, a sorrowful prison of chakra.

But his appearance was itself a variable!

During the Third Shinobi World War, facing the menacing forces of Konoha, the scheming Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu, and the all-powerful Isshiki Otsutsuki and the Six Paths brothers, Yoru Minazuki managed to break through the impasse and even grow to his current level.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

He has already turned everything around in the ninja world, so why can't he turn everything around in this universe?

……

Time was of the essence, so Minazuki Yoru did not linger in this world.

After gaining acceptance of his existence as the ruler of the ninja world in this parallel universe to a certain extent, Yoru began to create a spiritual altar unique to this world for Boruto and Sasuke Uchiha, in order to gather spiritual energy and facilitate their better cultivation of spiritual power.

This kind of sealing barrier is something that Yoru can easily do at this stage, but in order to ensure the stability of this altar and prevent it from being destroyed as soon as he leaves, Yoru has connected the core of this spiritual altar to the origin of this world to a certain extent.

Although this Minazuki Yoru has only just arrived in this world, let alone mastered the origin of this world, he hasn't even stayed in this world for very long and hasn't come into contact with anything at all.

However, since he possessed the origin of his own ninja world, after making initial contact with this world and confirming that the origin powers of the two worlds were almost mirror images, Mizuki Yoru easily connected with the origin of this world and obtained certain access permissions.

"Alright, the existence of this spiritual altar will replace the destruction of the Yomi Pure Land by Otsutsuki Hagoromo, thereby gathering souls and giving you the conditions to cultivate spiritual power."

Inside the Konoha Hokage Rock, Mizuki Yoru looked at the dark crystal floating in front of him and said to the people present, "There's no need to look like that. This crystal won't have any effect on you. At most, it will cause some people with strong mental power to experience some spiritual vision."

"Spiritual vision?"

Naruto Uzumaki looked completely bewildered.

"Simply put, it means being able to see ghosts." Mizuki Yoru explained in a general and simple way: "In essence, spiritual power is no different from chakra. Chakra is the power of flesh and blood cells plus spiritual power, while spiritual power is the power of the soul plus spiritual power."

"If someone in your village really has the ability to see ghosts, don't panic. It means that an exceptional person has appeared."

Naruto Uzumaki and Shikamaru Nara exchanged a glance. Ghosts and such were truly a radical concept for people in their world.

After all, even the Impure World Reincarnation technique relies on a 'living dead' as a vessel, rather than a direct spirit.

"I can definitely sense the spiritual particles now!"

Boruto's shouts drew Naruto and Shikamaru's attention. Seeing the gleaming Rasengan made of spirit particle fusion chakra in Boruto's hand, a different light immediately appeared in Naruto and Shikamaru's eyes.

From what we can see, this spiritual power is indeed a kind of energy similar to chakra, and after mastering spiritual power, one's own strength can be enhanced.

If that's the case, it seems like we could promote spiritual power in this world too!

The repeated threats from the Otsutsuki clan made Naruto and his friends far more aware of their safety than ever before, even though they were already aware that this so-called spiritual power was not so simple.

In addition, their previous conversation with Minazuki Yoh made them realize Minazuki Yoh's gentle attitude. If this power could really help them protect the village, they were obviously willing to accept it.

A jumble of thoughts popped into Naruto and Shikamaru's minds, but Yoru had no interest in playing any games of weighing the pros and cons with them.

After setting up the spiritual energy altar, Ye gave a greeting and then disappeared from the spot.

He was no longer prepared to linger in this world. Whether it was the threat from the Otsutsuki within his own world or the potential gaze of the Otsutsuki Shibakai, Yoru needed to face and deal with it as soon as possible.

However, before that, he still needs to confirm some things.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, there is no record of your existence in the Snow Clan's register."

In the Hidden Mist Village of the Land of Water, Mei Terumi, who had already stepped down as the Fifth Hokage, put down the scroll in her hand and shook her head at Yoru Mizuki, saying, "As for the Mizuki Kuro you mentioned, there are indeed records of him, but he..."

Minazuki took the scroll and examined it carefully.

The biggest difference between the Kirigakure of this world and the Kirigakure he originally belonged to was perhaps the Yagura who took the throne.

Under the control of Madara and Obito, Kirigakure implemented an absolute blood mist policy after Yagura came to power, resulting in the annihilation of all bloodline clans, including the Yuki clan and the Shikotsumyaku clan.

Therefore, the only way to find the traces that the night seeks is through historical records.

"Minazuki Kuroi was a member of the Yuki clan who died unexpectedly during a mission."

Mei Terumi explained, her gaze constantly shifting between Mizuki Yoru and the Fourth Mizukage, seemingly still somewhat incredulous that he was the same age as her and even her lover in that world!

"As for his lover and children... According to the records of the Yuki clan, Mizuki Kuroi had no wife or children."

"..."

After reading through all the contents of the scroll, Minazuki Yoru closed her eyes and let out a deep breath.

It wasn't to cover up the shame of his clan, but because that guy truly had no lover or children.

In other words, the 'Water Without Moon Night' simply does not exist in this world!

According to the theory of parallel worlds, since he transmigrated into this world, there should also be a Minazuki Yoru in this parallel world. Even if Minazuki Yoru's achievements and abilities are far inferior to his cheat-like self, this 'parallel existence' should still exist.

But the reality is that there is no such person as Minazuki Yoru in this world!

Chapter 367 Gods and Gods

"This is impossible……"

Minazuki Yoru's brows furrowed deeply. The concept of parallel universes is very special. It's like a distorted mirror. After being refracted from different angles and under various circumstances, the objects in the mirror and the objects reflected will be vastly different.

But a mirror is still a mirror; its function is to reflect.

In other words, no matter what, even if Minazuki Yoru dies the moment he arrives in this world, he should still exist; this is the 'mirror' of the world.

But in this world, there is no such thing as Minazuki Yoru!

“The records here are infallible.” Mei Terumi seemed to sense Mizuki Yoru’s concerns and explained, “Although the Blood Mist Era occurred in Kirigakure’s history, it was precisely because of the Blood Mist Era that the Mizukage possessed absolute power over these things.”

"Even if Obito Uchiha, the masked man, wanted to modify something to strengthen his rule and control, he probably wouldn't modify someone like Mizuki Kuro."

Mei Terumi is right.

Even if Obito really wanted to cover up or change something, he would never change something about an unknown, ordinary clansman like Mizuki Kuro.

Mizuki Yoru fell silent, her brows furrowed deeply.

He wasn't idly trying to figure out some pointless philosophical questions like where he came from, what he would become, or where he would eventually go. Rather, he was wondering if he was a transmigrated soul in other parallel universes, or a special exception.
