Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

Surprisingly, members of the Nara and Yamanaka clans were also present among the crowd. The Shadow Imitation Technique and the Mind Transfer Technique were used simultaneously, combined with Aburame Ryoma's Parasitic Insects, in an attempt to form an ultimate chain of control!

As these control chains coalesced, several figures swooped down towards Ye with incredible speed, each instantly drawing their bladed swords from their backs, causing lightning to crackle and emit a piercing sound!

Yoru indifferently drew Hyōrinmaru from his waist, but upon seeing this, a strange glint appeared in Danzo's eyes.

A chilling aura burst forth, forming an ice wall that blocked the incoming restrictive ninjutsu. At the same time, whistling sword energy swept down, and the Root ninjas who rushed forward were instantly killed by Night.

But the next moment, dense black runes appeared on the bodies of those Root ninjas who had been cut in half by Night, swelling and twisting under the stimulation of chakra!

"Pay the price for your arrogance, Minazuki Yoru!"

Accompanied by Danzo's sinister laughter, countless drops of blood erupted from the bodies of the Root ninjas who had been cut in half at the waist by Yoru, forming hand seals as they swelled into spheres, completely enveloping Yoru's figure.

Past resentments have turned into darkness, becoming a skillful tool for a decisive blow!

S-rank sealing technique!

The Inner Four Symbols Seal!

Chapter 72 A fight to the death!

The Four Symbols Seal.

This technique requires the incantation to be implanted into the body beforehand, and it is a special sealing technique that is automatically triggered after the body dies. The area of ​​the blood eruption will be included in the technique, sealing the surrounding matter and taking it to the underworld!

Although this technique was performed quite poorly in the original work, its strength was extremely terrifying.

Several enormous, jet-black blood spheres completely sealed off the area where Ye was located. The sealing technique was activated in an instant, swallowing everything within it!

"It's solved!"

Looking at the empty space, Danzo's face showed a cold smile: "It's a bit of a pity that we can't preserve this kid's body for research, but that's all we can do. Arrogant brat."

"What are you talking to yourself about, arrogant Danzo?"

A detached voice rang out from behind Danzo, who froze abruptly, turning around to find Yoru standing unharmed behind him.

"How is this possible? The Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique should have completely sealed off your movements... Wait, this is a space-time ninjutsu that Jiraiya reported could not possibly exist!"

Danzo immediately recalled the information that Jiraiya had sent him earlier.

'Minazuki Yoru not only possesses extremely powerful Ice Release techniques and unique secret arts, but is also highly skilled in swordsmanship and Body Flicker Technique. His terrifying movement speed may have exceeded the scope of ordinary Body Flicker Technique, suggesting that the target may possess some level of space-time ninjutsu.'

Now it seems that this is not a suspicion, but a certainty!

The previous Inner Four Symbols Seal had an incredibly large area, encompassing all escape routes. No matter how fast one was, they would inevitably be affected by the sealing technique and become trapped within it.

Only space-time ninjutsu that allows one to traverse space can achieve this!

"You guy..."

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Danzo's forehead. If the target possessed space-time ninjutsu, coupled with that ice-style bloodline limit that seemed like a natural disaster...

Danzo didn't know what the Hidden Mist ninjas were thinking when facing the combination of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, but at that moment, he himself was feeling quite uneasy.

"It seems you're not ready to face me."

Yoru drew Hyōrinmaru from his waist, a mocking smile on his face: "So, are you and Konoha prepared to suffer the same pain as Kirigakure?"

A fierce, howling wind swept across the land, completely dispersing all the moisture and restoring the world to its original clear state. However, the wind in the sky did not stop; it grew stronger and stronger, turning the sky into a chaotic mess.

A chilling aura emanated from the area, and ice crystals appeared, causing everyone present, including all the Konoha ninjas within the Konoha camp, to shiver involuntarily, their hair standing on end.

"Swastika!"

"Daigurren Hyōrinmaru!"

A large amount of frost and cold air surged out like a white, boundless wave.

"Scatter, everyone! Watch out for the freezing cold! Immediately notify all ninjas in the camp to prepare for retreat!" Danzo's expression changed drastically, and he roared, "We must get close again, unleash the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique, and kill the target. Otherwise, the tragedy of Tsunami Town and Higashimatsu Mountain will be repeated on Misawa Bridge!"

"Yes, Lord Danzo!"

All the Root ninjas sprang into action. Except for a few figures who alerted the other Konoha ninjas, the rest of the Root ninjas charged towards the night recklessly.

"A thousand-year-old ice prison".

Dozens of thick ice pillars suddenly rose from the ground, forming moving ice cages that sealed all the Root ninjas inside. The ice pillars continued to contract, causing the space inside to shrink. In an instant, the bodies of these Root ninjas were completely bound and frozen in the ice cages.

The next moment, continuous crimson-black sealing light emerged from the ice prison, but because of the ice, all the inner four symbols seals did not erupt on a large scale and then dissipated.

"Damn bastard!"

Danzo gritted his teeth, formed hand seals, and released a powerful Wind Release: Vacuum Ball. Unfortunately, his Wind Release only managed to scrape up a few ice shards on the vacuum ice wall.

But what responded to him was a roaring ice dragon!

"Danzo-sama, be careful!"

"Damn it, Minazuki Yoru, how dare you come to Misawa Bridge and cause trouble!"

"Use Fire Release to melt all his ice!"

As the chill spread and the terrifying pressure of Bankai filled the air, the Konoha ninjas in the camp finally reacted and rushed towards where Yoru was.

Ice crystals and snowflakes began to fall from the surrounding sky, and the power of the celestial phenomenon was displayed at this moment.

Looking down at the densely packed Konoha ninja below, the chill in the surrounding air grew even more intense, and Ye's gaze became increasingly indifferent.

"Go to hell."

He murmured, and ice crystals froze and spread.

Countless Konoha ninjas tried to unleash their Fire Release techniques, only to find that their ninjutsu could not melt ice, and even the flames they released were frozen!

The continuous glaciers sealed everything off, and the falling snowflakes became the prelude to the arrival of the Grim Reaper in the dead of winter.

Moments later, the entire Misawa Bridge turned into a blanket of white, and within the continuous ice crystals were countless Konoha ninjas frozen in place.

When Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki returned, Minato even doubted that he had located the wrong place and that he had come to Higashimatsuyama instead of Misawa Bridge.

"What the hell..."

The icy world that came into view, frozen in ice crystals, and the lifelike appearance of the Konoha ninjas left Kushina Uzumaki standing there in a daze.

Strands of crimson tailed beast chakra emanated from her body, and Kushina's eyes constantly shifted between vertical pupils and human eyes.

"Kushina!"

Minato placed his hand on Kushina's shoulder and pulled her into his arms. The scent of his lover gradually calmed Kushina's nearly broken heart.

Even so, Kushina was still in great turmoil.

"Watergate……"

"Minato, Kushina..."

A weak voice came from within the ice, and Danzo's figure broke through the ice, emerging disheveled.

"Lord Danzo!"

"Old man Danzo!"

Minato and Kushina exclaimed in surprise. Minato quickly stepped forward to help Danzo up and took out a soldier's ration pill from his ninja tool bag and handed it to him.

Danzo took the soldier's ration pill and put it in his mouth. His already gloomy face looked even more somber and ugly as he gazed at the surrounding glaciers.

He suffered from multiple frostbite injuries, and most importantly, he lost the eye that his old friend had left him...

The crimson three-tomoe jade pendant beneath the bandages had completely lost its light, and it was precisely because of this power that he was able to survive this winter apocalypse.

"A fight to the death, a slaughter to the last..."

Danzo took a deep breath, enduring the frostbite on his body, and said, "That guy thinks the same way we do, Minato... Kazama Kazuya, the Shirai mining area... that guy also holds the same idea!"

"You mean..."

Minato's expression changed drastically: "I'll go and make them all retreat!"

"No!"

Danzo gripped Minato's shoulder tightly, his single, bloodshot eye filled with ruthlessness and madness.

"It's too late now. This is a war to the death. Minato, all you can do now is continue with the original plan!"

"Let Kushina provide you with chakra, and unleash the full power of the Flying Thunder God Technique! Create more destruction, and destroy everything in Kirigakure!"

"We... have no choice but to fight to the death!"

Chapter 73 Four Red Sun Formation

"Perhaps this area can be used to host an ice sculpture exhibition after the war ends."

Gazing at the frozen Kazama and Tani in the distance, Yoru muttered a few hellish jokes, then shifted his gaze back: "How's the situation on the other side of the position?"

"It was quite tragic, Lord Ye."

Yumi Uzumaki, with her red hair, whispered, "The Tailed Beast Ball is rampaging, indiscriminately covering everything. The power unleashed by the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki completely surpasses that of ordinary Tailed Beasts. The entire position has been completely destroyed. Captain Mei Terumi, and Mangetsu and the others, thanks to your orders, led their respective elite squads to avoid this calamity. Apart from them, only Lord Yagura and a few elite soldiers remain."

After all, it was half of the Nine-Tails that was defeating five tailed beasts. When the Six Paths Sage divided the Ten-Tails' chakra, he must have been extremely biased!

Well, the other eight tailed beasts each got one portion, and the Nine-Tails ate the remaining ninety-two portions.

"in addition……"

Yumi Uzumaki took out a scroll: "This is the collection of the elite flesh and blood tissues from the base that you asked me to gather some time ago, sir. There are about a hundred Jonin."

Ye's eyes lit up, and he took the scroll.

With the activation of chakra, bottles and jars filled with various flesh and blood tissues suddenly appeared before Ye's eyes.

Upon seeing these items, Yoru's face showed a satisfied expression, while Yumi was somewhat curious.

"Lord Ye, are you... about to perform some forbidden technique, or are you conducting some research?"

"It's not really research; we're just using them as a medium to bring something back."

To summon something back...

The unusual vocabulary made Yumi pause slightly.

“This world is extremely special. After people die, their souls are directly drawn to the Pure Land of the Underworld by an inexplicable force, instead of staying in the mortal world. I need these flesh and blood tissues to call back the souls of those who have entered the Pure Land of the Underworld.”

Night resealed the bottles and jars into the scroll and placed them into his ninja tool bag.

"I have some ideas and attempts that, if successful, should be of great help to you and the future development of Wuyin. However, I don't have much experience yet, so I need to do some experiments."

"Soul...experiment?"

"good."

There wasn't much fear in Yumi Uzumaki's eyes; rather, there was curiosity.

There are also many human experiments in Kirigakure, such as organ transplantation, rejection of bloodline limits by the human body, and how to better activate the bloodline limit of escaping techniques.

As Ye's personal physician and nurse, Yu Mei had some knowledge and experience with these things, but her experience was more focused on the material aspects such as the 'human body' and 'genes'.

Besides, she has some knowledge of chakra and spiritual energy, but she knows absolutely nothing about the soul.

How do you study the soul...?

Yumi didn't know, but if Ye said he could do it, then he definitely could.

"call out!"

A strangely shaped kunai suddenly pierced the sky.

Yoru and Yumi Uzumaki dodged simultaneously. The next moment, a yellow figure leaped across the sky like lightning, and a dazzling Rasengan crashed down in the direction Yoru was.

The immense force kicked up clouds of dust as two figures arrived one after the other.

Looking down at Kazama and Yagaya, which had been completely transformed into a frozen wasteland, Minato Namikaze gripped his Flying Thunder God Kunai tightly. Kushina Uzumaki, standing beside him, also showed a noticeable fluctuation in her emotions.

"I'm late..."

"Don't make that disgusting face, Minato Namikaze. If you had come here directly, you wouldn't be late, but you chose to destroy our Kirigakure base first, so naturally you can only come to see the ice sculpture exhibition."

Night spoke calmly, his hand landing on Hyōrinmaru at his waist: "But I'm curious, since the outbreak of the war you haven't dared to confront me head-on, but now that the war has reached this point, you've come... What, do you need to mentally prepare for so long to fight an enemy like me who killed your master?"

Minato Namikaze didn't speak, but stared intently at Yoru, assuming a posture of holding a Flying Thunder God kunai in one hand and creating a Rasengan in the other. At the same time, Kushina Uzumaki beside him suddenly clasped her hands together, and countless Vajra Chains roared out, sweeping towards Yoru.

At that very moment, Minato Namikaze's figure vanished instantly, appearing in the sky above Night in the blink of an eye, raising the Rasengan in his hand and slamming it down heavily.

"King Kong Blockade!"
