Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

"What a cruel and realistic world."

Under Yukiko's questioning gaze, Yoru chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Without the Death God System, he would have been at the very bottom of the pyramid from birth. Even with the kindness of the Yuan Master taking him in, his only future role, besides highlighting those glamorous characters, would be to become a mere filler White Zetsu many years later.

"What is it, Lord Ye?"

"No, it's nothing."

Night shook his head, dismissing the pointless sigh, and looked at Yukiko, who had her red eyes activated, in front of him: "How's your research going?"

"Hmm, when I fused your gene cell tissue with that of several bloodline families in the village, as well as Yumi's, I actually discovered quite a few problems."

"Among those gene cell tissues, those of the Kaguya clan are the most aggressive. Cells fused with them are extremely unstable and difficult to cultivate. Even some surviving cells will likely mutate."

"Apart from that, the most stable are Yumi's Uzumaki clan cells. The fusion of Lord Yoru's gene cells with Yumi's cells is extremely perfect, with almost no rejection reaction. However, after the fusion, the vitality of the Uzumaki cells will drop significantly, as if a 'degeneration' has occurred, turning the miraculous into decay."

"This situation is not unique to Lord Ye's cells; almost all cells that fuse with these two races will exhibit this reaction."

"Later, I tried to fuse the cells of the Kaguya clan and the Uzumaki clan. After many attempts, I discovered that under a certain balance, the cells of the two clans would assimilate before fusing, just as if the two clans were once... brothers from the same mother!"

Don't tell me!

Kaguya's clan is indeed not a native bloodline ninja clan of the Land of Water, but rather migrated from the Land of Fire for some special reasons.

In addition, the Kaguya clan and the Hyuga clan visit each other from time to time, and their appearance is quite similar to that of the Otsutsuki clan. This clan and the Uzumaki clan, who are close relatives of the Senju clan and descendants of the Six Paths bloodline, can really be considered brothers!

Night recalled the secrets of a certain clan that he had learned from the Mizukage's archives, and at the same time took out a storage scroll from the ninja tool pouch at his waist and gently pressed it with his palm.

With a puff of white smoke, some pure white substances appeared in front of Yukiko.

"This is……"

"A special type of cell tissue, which is also an extra gain for me this time besides these Sharingan."

Yoru handed it to Yukiko: "You can try using these cell tissues to fuse with mine, as well as Kaguya's, Uzumaki's, and even the Uchiha's cell tissues. You should get some unexpected results."

Curious, Yukiko took it, placed it in a container, and then slowly pushed it under the microscope.

With just one glance, the expression on Xuezi's pretty face became extremely serious.

"Such strong cell activity! Lord Ye, the cell activity of this small cluster of cells is more than ten times that of an ordinary person. Even the cells of the Uzumaki and Kaguya clans are far inferior to it!"

"No, it's not just that. This cell tissue clearly has such high activity, yet it doesn't seem aggressive at all... Let me investigate..."

Seeing Yukiko's delighted expression, Yoru thought to himself, "Just as I expected."

These white cellular tissues are none other than white Zetsu cells, which Yoru discovered on Shisui's body.

This White Zetsu is not the White Zetsu that everyone hangs in a row under the God Tree, but a special artificial human created by Madara Uchiha using the God Tree and the cells of the First Hokage.

These White Zetsu possess a significant number of first-generation cells, making them invaluable for research and transplantation. Their limbs can even be used like Sharingan, making them veritable mobile organ banks and a boon to countless disabled patients!

If we can achieve some results from this, it will definitely be of great help to both the Night's plans and the development of Mist Village!

Yes.

In order to improve the overall strength of Kirigakure and to transform his own mediocre physical body, in addition to the 'Death God Project' led by Uzumaki Yumi, Yoru also devised many forbidden plans that could not be made public.

Examples include 'Analysis and Reproduction of Escape Technique Bloodline', 'Possibility of Organ Bloodline Transplantation', 'Confirmation of the Birth of Bloodline Offspring', and 'Bloodline Fusion', etc.

Some of these forbidden projects were things that Kirigakure was already researching, such as Ao's Byakugan, which is an important result of organ bloodline transplantation.

Other projects, such as the analysis and reproduction of the bloodline limit of escape techniques, were initially started because of some discoveries.

One is the Third Tsuchikage, and the other is Onoki, the Two Scales.

Despite having no blood relation to the Second Tsuchikage, he somehow mastered the Bloodline Limit Elimination technique, which was above the limit of the Second Tsuchikage's bloodline limit, shocking the entire ninja world.

The second is the Land of Snow.

In that country that is covered in ice and snow all day long, there is actually a group of people who do not have the bloodline of the Snow Clan, but they have mastered the power of ice release!

When the intelligence was brought back to Kirigakure, the Yuki clan nearly annihilated the entire Land of Snow. Ultimately, they abandoned the idea because they discovered that while the enemy's Ice Release techniques were indeed Ice Release, their power and intensity were far inferior to their own. Furthermore, the Land of Snow's scarce resources and harsh environment made a war unworthy of their attention.

However, these two discoveries led Kirigakure to begin researching bloodline limits in esoteric arts, aiming to transform the bloodline limits of bloodline clans into learnable powers, thereby strengthening Kirigakure's combat capabilities.

Unfortunately, despite its good idea, the plan ultimately failed due to strong resistance from various bloodline families and the corrupt rule of the Third Mizukage.

However, after Ye took office, this plan was brought up again for study, and a series of other forbidden plans were also devised...

"The poor rely on mutation, the rich rely on technology."

"As the Fourth Mizukage, I will use technology to complete the mutation!"

Looking at the room filled with bottles, jars, various organs, and a grotesque, terrifying sight, Ye Shen took a deep breath.

Soul experiments, a completely new creation embodied in the Grim Reaper—he wants it!

He also wants to do all the research on the Naruto's physical bloodline limits!

Dude, I'm going to do it all at once, making Bleach and Naruto shine in both!

Chapter 105 The Power of Kotoamatsukami! The Uchiha clan of Kirigakure and their sealing techniques!

While the idea of ​​having both Bleach and Naruto in the spotlight is good, it's clear that this can't be achieved overnight, and there are huge challenges to overcome on both sides.

In Naruto, the transformation and fusion of various bloodlines, cells, and genes mean that if even the slightest mistake occurs, it will lead to genetic collapse and the loss of life.

Needless to say, Death's side is even more complicated.

Because of the unique nature of the Underworld, spiritual energy and spiritual particles in the ninja world are extremely scarce, so much so that all the research and experiments on the soul are only just beginning.

Ye even suspected that the Yellow Springs Pure Land's control over souls was so strong that it might be because the old man Liudao was up to something down there, leaving no soul power behind in the mortal world. It was truly outrageous!

The development of both sides is a long and arduous task, requiring a great deal of time, money, manpower, and resources. Fortunately, Ye is still young and has sufficient status and position; otherwise, it would be really difficult to manage.

……

"See you then, Uchiha clan..."

The sound coming from beside him made the drowsy Uchiha Shisui slowly open his eyes.

During this time, he got new glasses and started a new life.

Looking at the room that was gradually becoming familiar, the genius boy from the Uchiha clan slowly got up and began to wash up and eat under the supervision of the Kirigakure Anbu at the door.

Although he was a prisoner, Shisui's breakfast was exceptionally lavish, including the most basic items like eggs and milk, as well as fruits, vegetables, and meat products. His meal standards were even higher than when he was in the Uchiha clan.

However, faced with this breakfast, which was extremely valuable even during wartime, Shisui had little appetite, because he knew clearly what he would face after finishing this sumptuous meal.

If it were an ordinary person, it would be fine, but if they encountered those humanoid female tyrannosaurus rex from the Kaguya clan...

Ah, I just woke up and was enjoying a luxurious breakfast that only the high-ranking officials and nobles in the ninja world can currently afford, but why is my kidney already starting to ache?

After the meal, Shisui, feeling somewhat numb, followed the Kirigakure ANBU guards who were watching over him to a different room.

To his surprise, Shisui noticed a significant increase in the number of Hidden Mist ninjas and crowds on the streets, making the area much more lively.

This piqued Shisui's curiosity. Although he had been living a hectic life these past few days, he had also gained some understanding of the current situation in Kirigakure. Kirigakure, with its extremely low population, simply couldn't possibly have this many people.

"Has something major happened that has caused everyone to gather here?"

As Uchiha Shisui walked, he watched the bustling crowd of Kirigakure members heading towards the Mizukage Building, and asked the female Anbu member who was responsible for looking after him a question.

"It's nothing much, just that your Konoha envoys have arrived. The Mizukage has decided to broadcast the entire peace negotiation and signing process live from the rooftop of the Mizukage Building. I'm sure everyone wants to witness this historic moment."

"Oh, speaking of which, you might recognize the people who came this time. The leader is Danzo, the Dark Ninja of Konoha. There seems to be a member of the Uchiha clan in the group, named something like Yatsushiro."

No, I don't know him.

Hearing the words of the female Anbu members beside him, Uchiha Shisui subconsciously denied it, and his pace, which had been deliberately slowed down due to resistance, suddenly quickened.

How could he not recognize Uchiha Yatsuho? He was his clansman and one of his former admirers!

If he were to see me in this state and then bring the news back to Konoha and spread it...

Uchiha Shisui increased his speed even further, surprising the female ANBU ninjas standing nearby.

'So your resistance the other day was all an act. Now you've got your kicks and can't wait any longer, huh? Hmph, you Uchiha clan folks just love to put on an act!'

The female ninja from the Anbu followed Shisui at a leisurely pace and led him to a closed secret room, where another female ninja was already waiting at the door.

Upon seeing the smiling female ninja with the distinctive red dot of the Kaguya clan on her forehead, Uchiha Shisui suddenly froze, as if he had thought of something terrifying, and even his legs began to tremble slightly.

But when he thought of everything that was happening at the Mizukage Building, Danzo, the Eighth Hokage, and other former colleagues who might appear, Uchiha Shisui suddenly felt his body regain its strength. Under the impatient gaze of Kaguya, he stepped into the building with a death-defying resolve...

……

Meanwhile, on the Water Shadow Building.

"Live report from Kirigakure, live report from Kirigakure. You are now watching the live footage of the signing of the peace agreement between Kirigakure and Konoha. We can clearly see the Konoha delegation walking towards us. They are..."

The news broadcast was incredibly loud, amplified from the television screen through the microphone, and at the same time, the entire rooftop of the Water Shadow Building was displayed before the eyes of all the residents of the Hidden Mist Village.

"Whoa! It's out! It's out!"

"Ahhh, Fourth Hokage, you're so handsome! I want to have your babies!"

"The people from Konoha have arrived!"

"That guy is Shimura Danzo, right? Damn it, so Konoha has a day when they surrender and admit defeat. That feels great!"

"That's right, that's right. We, Kirigakure, are the first in the entire ninja world to accept Konoha's surrender, admit defeat, and pay reparations. Truly worthy of the Fourth Hokage!"

"Long live the Fourth Hokage!"

A deafening cheer erupted from outside the Mizukage Building. The Konoha delegation members were all ashen-faced, especially Shimura Danzo.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi entrusted this mission to Danzo and said, "I can only trust you, Danzo," Danzo was all smiles. But when he arrived at the destination, he realized it was a huge trap.

Once both parties have agreed on various terms and have expressed their intention to sign, they can basically just agree on a few payments at the table, sign their names, and that's it—it's just a formality.

Unlike today, people who don't know the situation might think this is a succession ceremony for the Shadow of the Village!

"Welcome, everyone from Konoha. It's been a long time, Lord Danzo."

Dressed in a formal Mizukage outfit, Mizuki Yoru sat smiling at the negotiating table. Beside him were the elderly Third Mizukage, as well as almost all the remaining high-ranking officials and old men of Kirigakure, including Mizuki Yuki, Kaguya Manjutsu, and Hozuki Gengetsu.

People like Minazuki Yuki didn't actually need to attend this meeting, but as soon as they heard that it was Konoha coming, they rushed to Yoru's office and insisted on attending.

He didn't look like a seventy or eighty-year-old man at all.

"Lord Mizukage, it's been a long time..."

Danzo sat down with a somber expression, and the Konoha people beside him also looked grim, but could only suppress their emotions.

Seeing Konoha's expression and demeanor, the Kirigakure high-ranking officials present became even more solemn, but their twitching lips revealed that they were almost about to burst out laughing.

The huge crowd outside erupted in unparalleled cheers through the live broadcast!

"Hooray! We're going to be rich! In the past few days, I've received cooperation offers from nearly a dozen TV stations, big and small, including Iwagakure TV, Kumogakure TV, Sunagakure TV, and Kusagakure TV, all wanting to broadcast this conference repeatedly. I can't believe how high the prices they've offered!"

The manager of Wuyin TV Station was directing the cameras to film properly while his smile was practically reaching the sky.

What is popularity? What is traffic? This is real popularity and traffic!

The world has long suffered from bitter leaves!

"To ensure the peaceful development of the ninja world, Konoha and Kirigakure maintain a friendly cooperative relationship..."

The Fourth Mizukage, Minazuki Yoru, solemnly delivered a declaration of over a thousand words long, entitled "Declaration of Friendship and Neighborliness between Kirigakure and Konoha."

In his declaration, Mizuki Yoru emphasized the need for deep cooperation between Konoha and Kirigakure, including ninja exchanges, partnerships in trade and other areas, and joint efforts to combat evil ninja organizations, striving to create a better and more harmonious ninja world…

After the speech ended, everyone in the room applauded enthusiastically, and thunderous cheers erupted outside!

As Danzo took out his prepared speech, ready to imitate Minazuki Yoru and deliver a rousing speech, comments such as "Konoha's biggest idiot," "Danzo is a complete moron," and "I, the Land of Fire, am a moron..." could be heard from outside the venue from time to time.

Even someone as shrewd as Danzo nearly broke down, his speech becoming slurred and his lines erring several times.

However, Guo Ying lived up to his name. Even though the veins on his forehead were bulging and his anger was comparable to that of Amaterasu, he still managed to suppress it and finish reading the entire manuscript.

After the sparse applause on stage and the boos from the audience subsided, the meeting officially began.

The peace agreement, prepared in duplicate, was placed in the hands of both sides.

The signing by the Fourth Mizukage, Mizuki Yoru, and Danzo signified the perfect end to this political charade.

Konoha will gain a precious respite, while Kirigakure will receive substantial compensation to maintain its development. Furthermore, the Fourth Mizukage, Mizuki Yoru, will have an additional significant achievement to his name!

"Everything is for peace, Lord Danzo."

Ye smiled and extended her right hand to Danzo. Danzo paused slightly, then raised his own right hand, which was completely wrapped in bandages, and they clasped hands.

"It has been a long time since Kirigakure has had such distinguished guests. After this meeting, please stay in Kirigakure for a couple of days."
