Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

“Oh so kada ga”.

The pure white haori fluttered in the wind, and the three characters on its back, combined with the yellow hair, stunned everyone in the room.

Kushina's gaze flickered slightly, and a smile appeared on her pretty face: "Not at all, Minato."

"Thank goodness you were here, Fourth Hokage." Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief. If it weren't for Minato's timely assistance, the two of them might have really been in mortal danger!

Minato Namikaze smiled gently at Tsunade and Kushina: "Thank you for your hard work."

After saying that, he turned to look at Hiruzen Sarutobi, whose fists were clenched and whose expression was somber. However, Minato Namikaze did not say anything to Hiruzen Sarutobi, but instead focused his gaze on the space on the other side.

hum...

Space distorted, and Obito, without his mask, slowly appeared, looking down at Minato and his wife below.

“Obi-kun, I really didn’t expect it to be you.” Minato Namikaze’s eyes were filled with complex emotions, a mixture of anger, surprise, and disappointment: “Back in Konoha, it was you too.”

"Is there any point in talking about this now?"

Obito stared indifferently at Minato and his wife, then slightly raised his right hand and quietly activated Universal Pull, pulling the heavily injured Hiruzen Sarutobi to his side.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's extraordinary self-healing ability allowed his injuries to heal rapidly. He glanced warily at Minato Namikaze, then quickly asked Obito, "Yoshimi Minazuki is here. What should we do now?!"

“Minazukiyo?” Obito sneered. “You’ve never even fought him, why are you acting so recklessly, Hiruzen Sarutobi? That’s not Minazukiyo, it’s Yagura’s trick.”

"what?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was initially in a complete panic, was stunned for a moment before belatedly realizing what was happening.

Yes, the chill and glacier just now were powerful, but they should be far less than that of Mizuki Yoru. After all, the terrifying spiritual power that guy displayed that day was enough to overwhelm the entire ninja world.

"The Water Mirror Technique, huh..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi understood that Yagura Karatachi was already famous throughout the ninja world before becoming a Shinigami, possessing an incredibly powerful Water Mirror Technique.

Clearly, the continuous glaciers they had seen earlier were replicated by Yagura Karatachi using his Water Mirror Technique. However, they were so terrified by these glaciers that they lost their composure and nearly caused a major disaster.

“A person’s name is like a tree’s shadow; that’s normal.” Obito glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi, then looked past Minato, Kushina, and the other two in front of him, and landed inside the tightly closed Kirigakure Duel Tower.

“The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is also at the bottom of the tower. Go and bring the Nine-Tails and the Three-Tails over. I'll take care of these three guys.”

"it is good."

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath, said nothing, and charged directly toward the Hidden Mist Tower. At that moment, Minato Namikaze's figure transformed into a yellow flash, attempting to intercept Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Obito raised his hand expressionlessly, unleashing an irresistible and terrifying suction force to block the attack. At the same time, a pale finger bone blocked the Flying Thunder God kunai that Minato had released.

It was Hiruzen Sarutobi's Ten-Finger Shot!

"Third Generation, you!"

Minato Namikaze's eyes revealed deep disappointment, but Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't care at all. He swept past the three of them and rushed into the Kirigakure Duel Tower.

Seeing this, Kushina's expression turned anxious, and Tsunade, understanding the gravity of the situation, instinctively wanted to rush towards Hiruzen Sarutobi.

But in just a moment, the surging chakra aura forced the three of them to focus their attention on Obito in front of them.

Holding the jet-black Spear of Heaven in his hand, Obito felt the terrifying pressure emanating from his former disciple, causing Minato Namikaze to take a deep breath and lower his head.

"Sorry, oh, about Lin..."

"You have no right to mention Lin!"

Chapter 305 Namikaze Minato’s Swastika!

"Obi-chan..."

Amidst the chaos and smoke of battle, the former master and disciple meet once again.

Seeing his once most prized disciple, who always spoke of being Hokage, now reduced to this useless state, Minato Namikaze felt a constant pang of pain in his heart.

He knew perfectly well why things had turned out this way; it was all because of a battle on Dongsong Mountain.

As a teacher, he... killed Lin with his own hands.

On that day, Rin was killed by him, and Kakashi was killed by Minazuki Yoru.

And Obito.

He was then killed by himself.

The Water Gate team ceased to exist.

"Sorry, Pen Tip, I..."

"What's the point of saying all this now, Minato Namikaze!"

His voice was cold and devoid of emotion. Obito Uchiha's bloodshot eyes stared at Minato Namikaze before him: "Rin, no, all of this has nothing to do with Rin anymore, and I am no longer Obi-kun!"

"If you think that I have become like this, and that I have started this war, because of Lin, because you killed Lin with your own hands on Mount Higashimatsu, then you are sorely mistaken!"

"Do you see that, Minato Namikaze? Do you see this battlefield filled with death? It's always the same. Shinobi clans fight each other, the Shinobi World War—this cruel world has always been like this. And what I want to do is to bring the perfect dream world down completely, and to make this cruel reality disappear completely!"

"Whether it's you, the ninja village, the great nation, or Minazuki Yoru!"

The Spear of Amazu in Obito Uchiha's hand began to change, and the sun and moon began to appear at the top of the spear staff, a symbol that could only be evolved from the ultimate determination of the heart!

His resolve never wavered, but after seeing Minato Namikaze, it became even stronger.

"For this goal." Under the complicated gazes of Minato Namikaze, the stunned gazes of Kushina Uzumaki, and the shocked gazes of Tsunade, Obito Uchiha suddenly gripped the Spear of the Heavenly Swamp, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

"I can overturn everything!"

"Be careful!!"

"Zheng!"

The point where the Zanpakuto, bound by golden shackles, clashed with the Spear of the Amazuma.

To everyone's astonishment, Kushina Uzumaki's Bankai Zanpakuto, the Banjin Zanpakuto, was actually severed in two by the Amatsuma Spear!

"How could this be? The Zanpakuto was actually..."

"How is this possible?"

"Kushina!"

The Heart Sword severed the Zanpakuto, and its momentum continued as it fell towards Kushina Uzumaki. Fortunately, at the critical moment, a yellow flash appeared, and Kushina was caught in the attack, narrowly avoiding it.

"How are you, Kushina?" Minato Namikaze looked at Kushina with a tense expression.

Zanpakuto are derivatives of the soul, and their strength is no less than that of the Kusanagi sword in the ninja world.

With the enhancement of spiritual power, the Zanpakuto's strength was greatly increased, and it almost never broke.

At this moment, Kushina's Zanpakuto, even in its Bankai state, was actually cut in two by Obito, a fact that truly shocked everyone present.

"I feel……"

Kushina Uzumaki's pretty face turned deathly pale, and her aura fluctuated wildly.

"Tsunade-sama."

"This is the first time I've ever encountered a Zanpakuto being broken... There's nothing I can do but use my spiritual power to stabilize Kushina's condition for now. Perhaps Yumi and the others have a solution." Tsunade quickly came to Kushina's side, transferring spiritual power to her to stabilize her condition.

"You can't go anywhere!"

Obito appeared in front of the three in an instant, wielding the Spear of Ama-no-Numa and slashing down.

Minato Namikaze's expression was cold and stern as he unleashed a Rasengan from his palm, attempting to block the sword strike.

However, none of the expected explosions or confrontations occurred. Minato Namikaze's Rasengan was completely absorbed by an inexplicable suction force the moment it touched the Spear of Amazu.

Obito's lips curled slightly, and the Sharingan in his eyes had somehow transformed into the Rinnegan, shimmering with a pale purple glow.

"It's over, Minato Namikaze..."

Before Obito could finish speaking, Minato Namikaze suddenly looked up, revealing an extremely cold and stern face.

Immediately afterwards, a golden light appeared around him, enveloping his entire body.

Nine tails chakra mode!

No, to be precise, it should be Spiritual Energy Simulation: Nine-Tails Chakra Mode!

The moment he activated Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, Minato Namikaze suddenly gripped his Zanpakuto at his waist with his other hand. Immediately afterward, the surging spiritual energy surged infinitely, causing the Third Division Captain's Hagoromo on Minato's body to flutter.

"Sorry, pen tip."

"Swastika!"

With the gentlest tone, unleash the most terrifying spiritual pressure!

……

The world of flowers, frozen by the continuous glaciers, is filled with enormous trees carrying buds that are about to bloom, all frozen within the glaciers, yet lifelike.

The sunlight shone on the glacier, and the cool light made Madara Uchiha's expression slightly gloomy.

He didn't know if Yagura did it intentionally or by accident, but using Ice Release to deal with the Flower Tree World was indeed the best way. Otherwise, once he activated the pollen of the Flower Tree World, it would undoubtedly be fatal to the low- to mid-level ninjas outside Kirigakure.

Even so, Madara Uchiha's face showed no change in expression; instead, it was filled with excited fighting spirit.

"This is more interesting, Yagura Karatachi. You should be able to dance, right?"

Madara Uchiha laughed loudly, and the Eternal Eye in his eye sockets spun wildly, unleashing a surge of powerful and domineering ocular power that instantly transformed into a half-giant Susanoo clad in Tengu armor.

But it was far from over; he had already seen in Yagura Karatachi a posture that was worthy of dancing.

When facing a strong opponent, you should go all out!

The materialized Yin Release chakra surged forth like a raging torrent, and Susanoo's size continued to grow, instantly becoming a giant standing nearly a hundred meters tall.

Madara Uchiha stood atop Susanoo's head, within the pentagonal prism between its eyebrows. The Sharingan in his eyes appeared even more eerie under the illumination of the deep blue Perfect Susanoo.

Endless eye power surged forth from Susanoo's brow like a raging torrent, and the surging chakra whipped his hair into the wind. Paired with his crimson armor, the ninja demon who once pacified the Warring States period has descended upon the world once more!

"Susanoo, is it...?"

The complete Susanoo was awe-inspiring, but Yagura's expression did not change much.

As one of the earliest followers of Minazuki Yoru, he had seen far too many powerful individuals. Among these powerful individuals were those who possessed Uchiha power, such as Uchiha Shisui, the captain of the Second Division, and Uchiha Hikari, who was hailed as the ultimate weapon of the Uchiha clan.

Their complete Susanoo is just as powerful as Madara Uchiha's.

"Someone told me that every Shinigami captain possesses strength above Kage level, so this childish squabble is over!"

Madara Uchiha, residing within the complete Susanoo Prism, looked down upon the earth. Yagura, who appeared as insignificant as an ant, said, "Come and dance for me!"

"Buzz..."

Yagura didn't speak, but simply raised his hands, aiming them at the enormous, fully-formed Susanoo.

Ripples flowed through his palm, and then, a misty vapor, like flowing water, continuously emanated from his palm, enveloping the Susanoo that resembled a demon god.

"Water mist?"

Madara Uchiha frowned slightly: "No, that's not right, the energy intensity is extremely high..."

"boom!!!"

A thick fog rolled in, and a series of terrifying explosions suddenly erupted from within the mist. The complete Susanoo, resembling a mountain, had its chakra shell shattered by these horrific explosions, and its massive body swayed precariously.

"Steam Explosion-Proof?!"

Madara Uchiha inside Susanoo was somewhat surprised, but seemed to understand something, and quickly formed hand seals.

A continuous stream of ocular power poured out, and the Susanoo, which was being continuously exploded, was forcibly stabilized by the massive amount of ocular power. At the same time, it instantly drew its sword and slashed down at Yagura.

A massive blade of light swept across the battlefield, as if it were about to cleave the entire world in two.

But the moment the blade struck, enormous trees burst forth from Yagura's body, instantly transforming into a hundred-meter-tall wooden figure.

Take the sword with your bare hands!

The wooden figure blocked the Susanoo sword, and Madara Uchiha, who was inside the Susanoo crystal, narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

He has already guessed Yagura's Bankai ability!

"This is quite tricky..."

Madara Uchiha smiled, but isn't this what makes it interesting?

As the former controller of the Third Mizukage, Madara had long noticed the existence of Yagura Karatachi and once wanted to make him the successor of the Third Mizukage, as a pawn in his future plans.

Therefore, he knew very well what Yagura Karatachi was good at: the Water Mirror Technique and the power of copying!
