Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

That's how ninjas are. Kidnapping and blackmail are extremely minor tactics in the Ninja Wars. Ninjas are people who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals!

"As for my eyes... after you took my right eye, another piece of bad news came from the tribe."

“My father was critically ill, but he wanted to see me one last time. The clan head of Fugaku withstood the pressure and allowed me to return to the clan.”

Shisui murmured, recounting everything that had happened to him. Ye listened quietly, unhurried, and began to have some guesses in his mind.

This is a story of father and son, an exchange between the most compatible blood relatives!

"Because of ideological conflicts, my relationship with my father was not good, but on that day... I'm sorry, I can't describe the scene that day."

"I saw my father standing on the edge of death, and my father also saw my right eye that had been gouged out..."

"My father scolded me for my cowardice and incompetence, but he did not give up on me."

"He hoped that I could regain the pride and glory of the Uchiha clan. To this end, he even gave me his right eye."

"But... I still disappointed him."

Uchiha Shisui was trembling all over, and Yoru could clearly feel the changes in his emotions.

Even more so, Night felt that, stimulated by this emotion, even with the presence of the Four Symbols Seal, a special chakra still emerged in Shisui's brain!

This is probably why his three tomoe cannot evolve into the Mangekyou Sharingan!

"Caught between a clan and a village..."

"My beliefs and ideas drove my father into a complete rage, and also caused him... to die in front of me."

Uchiha Shisui suddenly looked up at Yoru: "Didn't you want to know the secret of the Uchiha clan? All you need is a strong enough emotion, all you need is a heart-wrenching loss, and the Mangekyou Sharingan will be born in those talented Uchiha, granting them even greater power and emotions!"

"At the moment my father died, at the moment I drove him to his death, my eyes also evolved, becoming the way you yearn for them now!"

"So that's how it is..."

Yoru suddenly realized and patted Shisui's head: "Right, please don't misunderstand, what I crave is not the Mangekyou Sharingan, but the eye technique reflected in the heart of a twisted person like you."

"what?"

Shisui stared blankly at Yoru: "You did this for 'Kotoamatsukami'? How could you know...?"

So he really did awaken 'Kotoamatsukami'!

Night's eyes lit up, and his gaze fell heavily on Shisui's left eye. Then he began to ramble, "I've met that guy who appeared on Mount Higashimatsu, the vortex man you were fighting just now, so I did some research on him."

"Besides the three tomoe on my right eye, I also have a Mangekyou Sharingan in my hand. So for me, the Mangekyou Sharingan is not a secret, it's just that I was missing some key information, and now I have that information."

That's emotion!

After acquiring the three-tomoe Sharingan, Yoru found his own rhythm and state in this war. With the support of a massive amount of points, Yoru's growth exploded.

How could such a path to success, which seems to lead to instant success, possibly generate extreme negative emotions?

What, you made me so angry that I felt I was earning too much and becoming too strong that my Sharingan evolved into the Mangekyou Sharingan?

Don't go too far!

"Alright, your story is pretty good, I'll accept it for now, so what's next..."

"Well!"

Intense pain shot through his eyes. Amidst Shisui's cries of pain, Yoru calmly placed a kaleidoscope and an Eternal Eye into the vessel.

Although the eye technique of that Eternal Eye is unknown, this one 'Kotoamatsukami' alone is enough to make Ye take action!

Yoruichi put the container containing the two Sharingan eyes into the scroll, then knocked Uchiha Shisui unconscious with a chop to the neck, before lifting him up and holding him under her arm.

Now, even if the information Hiruzen Sarutobi provided was false, Kirigakure's future will still have the bloodline of the Uchiha clan!

The message was forwarded.

The next moment, Ye appeared in an open space.

In front.

He was a boy from the Uzumaki clan whose legs had been crippled by explosive tags, and whose chakra and life force had been drained by the Gedo Mazo. He was on the verge of physical and mental collapse, but he still managed to protect a comrade with his own strength.

“Your situation looks bad, Nagato.”

"Who are you! Don't even think about harming Nagato!"

Although her chakra was still sealed, the girl, who had lost a comrade, still stood in front of Nagato.

“Although we’ve never met, you should recognize this attire.” Yoru looked at Konan, who was trembling and on the verge of emotional collapse, and pointed to the Mizukage hat on his head: “I am the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure, Mizunazuki Yoru.”

"It's also from your Akatsuki organization... Hmm, old employer, you agree, right, Nagato?"

"...Water without a moonlit night."

Nagato looked disheveled and ferocious. His Rinnegan, radiating a cold aura, stared at Yoru, who was dressed in the Fourth Mizukage's robes. His voice, hoarse from the intense emotions he was experiencing, rang out: "Why are you here?"

"Ah, I received a message from the Third Hokage to bring this rebellious son who angered his own father to death home, and also to retrieve some things."

Yoru raised the arm of Shisui beneath his arm, then pointed to the lifeless corpses of Uchiha clan members lying on the ground in the distance: "I just didn't expect things to get so lively here..."

“I remember saying before that while Yahiko’s idea was good, it would be too difficult to succeed. After all, his approach was to hand over the choice to others, rather than keeping it in his own hands.”

"We can trust our own strength, but we cannot trust the hearts of others. When we hand the initiative over to others, those in power only need a single thought to destroy the hard-won peace. That is the reality. And Yahiko... it seems he couldn't withstand the ravages of this cruel reality."

"The fault doesn't lie with Yahiko, but with this filthy, dark, and ugly world!"

Nagato's voice suddenly became sharp, and the Rinnegan in his eyes began to emanate an inexplicable aura!

“Indeed, a boy who cherished the hope of peace in his heart, fought hard for it, and even lost his life to protect his comrades is indeed innocent and blameless.” Night nodded, planted the seed of the anti-membrane on the spot, and took out a scroll, tossing it over.

"Perhaps before me, a few strange masked men, black and white and hermaphrodites, contacted you, but Nagato, just like we talked about that day in the Land of Iron."

"Whether it's Yahiko or the idea I've mentioned, no matter which path you choose to take next, Kirigakure can be your helper on the road to peace."

……

Chapter 104 Inferior Qualifications, the Pyramid of Bloodlines

Everything in Amegakure has temporarily come to a close.

Deeply grieving the deaths of his comrades and spiritual leader, Nagato naturally couldn't just join Kirigakure like that. In fact, even when offered some help to deal with Hanzo, Nagato refused.

He wanted to personally eliminate Hanzo, and more importantly, he wanted to personally and completely change this dark and rainy country!

No one can stop a young person who has a dream and is willing to take action.

After offering his heartfelt blessings, Yoru returned to Kirigakure with Uchiha Shisui and the corpses of more than a dozen Uchiha clan members.

……

"So that's how it is. This is the Kaleidoscope eye technique that Shisui awakened."

Inside the bloodline laboratory.

Night closed her eyes, quietly sensing the pupil technique contained within the eye sockets of this artificial body.

The eye technique that Shisui awakened in his left eye was indeed 'Kotoamatsukami', but the effect was somewhat different from what Yoru had expected.

The effect of this Kotoamatsukami is: to directly invade the target's brain without their knowledge for a short period of time, modifying and controlling their will. Even after the pupil power dissipates and the illusion is cleared, the target will not feel anything unusual after returning to normal, and will not have the slightest feeling of being controlled by the illusion.

obviously.

This Kotoamatsukami is not the Kotoamatsukami that Itachi obtained, which can permanently modify wills, but the one that Danzo used to control Mifune.

Both have their own merits.

While the former can permanently control the target, it has a cooling-off period of more than ten years, making it essentially a disposable product.

The latter is different.

The cooldown of this Kotoamatsukami is extremely short. As long as you have enough chakra and eye power, it can be used again after only 24 hours of cooling!

"I wonder if putting these three tomoe into his eyes will allow him to reactivate them into the Kaleidoscope..."

Night muttered to itself.

As for the eye technique contained in Shisui's right eye, the Eternal Eye, it is Amaterasu, which is known as the strongest physical attack.

This disappointed Ye, but it was also within expectations.

Ultimately, this eye belongs to Shisui's father. Although Yoru never met him, it's easy to see from Shisui's description of him that he was a typical Uchiha.

Those who believe the conflict between their clan and the village is irreconcilable and who want to acquire greater power to eliminate the current Konoha leadership and replace them with the Uchiha!

Such a person, once awakened by the Kaleidoscope, will have an eye technique that basically symbolizes the strongest physical attack, the Amaterasu Flame, which will not be extinguished until the target is burned to ashes.

"Which one are you planning to transplant, Lord Yoru, or are you going to transplant both of them?" Yukiko Touna asked softly from the side.

"Let's switch to that kaleidoscope for now..."

Ye withdrew his soul power and returned to his original body. After pondering for a moment, he said...

The reason he gouged out Shisui's eyes and replaced them with his own was twofold: first, to enhance his resistance to illusions when his spiritual energy was depleted; and second, to prevent the emergence of techniques like 'Kotoamatsukami,' which could silently and permanently distort consciousness.

At that time, the night simply did not possess the power to counter this level of magic.

Even though the Sharingan would have been a huge burden on Yoru's body at the time, Yoru still chose to transplant it.

And that situation hasn't changed much even now!

Yes.

Putting aside the several-fold energy amplification brought about by the initial release of Bankai, Yoru's normal chakra level, which is the same as that of an ordinary Jonin, is about one calorie.

Judging from Kakashi's use of Kamui, Yoru estimated that he would reach his limit after two or three uses at most. Of course, he could release it multiple times after activating Shikai and Bankai, but the power of his Mangekyou Sharingan might not be enough.

This is with just one kaleidoscope; if there were two, the pressure would be even greater!

"The potential of this physical body has been pushed to its limit..."

As Yukiko gently replaced his right eye, Yoru let out a sigh in his heart.

There was a reason why he was abandoned by the Snow Clan. He couldn't even awaken the Ice Release bloodline limit, so his talent was at most that of an ordinary Jonin.

If it weren't for the system supporting him from behind, strengthening him with the various powers he could exchange for points, let alone ending the war and becoming the Fourth Mizukage, he probably would have died long ago in some unknown area-of-effect attack on the battlefield... No, it should be said that he would have died long ago in the cruel blood mist graduation exam during the Third Hokage's era!

"It's all done, Lord Ye."

Before long, Yukiko had finished replacing Yoru's eyes. Then, she carefully removed the three-tomoe gem that belonged to Shisui and the Eternal Eye from the Gikai's eyes, and placed them in a container to preserve them.

Night slowly opened her right eye.

Within his eye sockets, the Kaleidoscope Sharingan with its four corner pinwheel patterns gleamed with an eerie light.

Feeling the connection between chakra and the Mangekyou Sharingan, Yoru's brows furrowed deeply.

It's exactly the same as the situation on the artificial body!

Unlike the feeling of 'the whole world becoming clear' that came with transplanting the three tomoe, the first thing that came to mind when Yoru opened his eyes and activated the Mangekyou Sharingan was a dizzying, stinging sensation, followed by the Sharingan's powerful eye power and the eye techniques it contained.

As the night dissipated its power, the four large windmills in the corners of the eyes degenerated into three-tomoe shapes, and the dizziness also dissipated.

"The neural connections are perfect, and the release of chakra and ocular power is also fine... In other words, it's a rejection reaction from the body."

After pondering for a moment, Ye understood the reason.

The power of the Sharingan is well-known in the ninja world, but very few people have actually transplanted it. Apart from the fact that the Uchiha clan dares not touch it, the immense pressure that the Sharingan places on non-Uchiha people is the most important factor.

Transplanting the Byakugan, the stress and chakra depletion are tolerable, since it's mainly for reconnaissance.

But the Sharingan is different.

The Sharingan is a natural fighting eye, an eye designed for battle. But after you transplanted it, your entire being is being dragged down by this eye, let alone being able to fight!

Even someone like Kakashi, who activated and awakened the two-tomoe Sharingan given to him by Obito using his own chakra, spent more than ten years nurturing and exploring before he could barely master the ability to open and use his Mangekyou Sharingan. Let alone others!

"It's really troublesome..."

Ye sighed deeply and put the eye mask over her right eye back on.

The Naruto world is actually an absolute world based on bloodline; those who possess the Otsutsuki bloodline are born standing at the pinnacle of this world.

Senju, Uchiha, Hyuga, Uzumaki, Kaguya...

These ninja clans, who inherited the power of the Otsutsuki clan, are destined to be the central protagonists of this world.

Then there are ordinary bloodline ninja clans like Yuki and Kurama, who are treated as supporting characters.

As for clans like the Ino-Shika-Cho, Sarutobi, and Momochi clans, they are merely extras who exist to highlight the bloodline clans!

Not to mention Ye, a mixed-blood with poor aptitude who hasn't even awakened his bloodline limit!
