Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Even when Hiruzen Sarutobi was teaching Orochimaru, the old monkey repeatedly asked Danzo to help him with the instruction, so that the two had many similarities in their fighting styles, except that Orochimaru liked to use snakes.

But all of that is ancient history. The two of them now are, respectively, the captain of the 12th Division of the Seireitei and the ultimate ninja who has mastered the Oni-Garra Technique!

It remains to be seen who is stronger and who will win!

"Feel the power of all things in the universe, Orochimaru!"

Seeing that he could not defeat Orochimaru in several close-quarters battles, and that the fighting outside was getting more and more intense, Danzo gritted his teeth, clasped his hands together, and countless trees burst forth: "Wood Release! Wood Human Technique!"

A wooden figure rose from beneath Danzo, its towering form bursting through the roof of the secret experiment site and climbing seventy or eighty meters higher.

A wooden dragon with a hooked nose and covered in wooden spikes roared and hissed as it wrapped around the neck of the wooden man. Moreover, after summoning the wooden man and the wooden dragon, Danzo's roar did not stop, and the three-tomoe Sharingan in his eye sockets transformed into Mangekyou Sharingan once again.

Vast eye power was continuously released, and the jet-black Susanoo, like armor, attached itself to the wooden doll, as if putting a layer of jet-black armor on the wooden doll, full of killing intent.

"Wooden Man Susanoo Armor!"

"interesting!"

Orochimaru stared at Danzo, who was wielding the wooden dummy Susanoo, and raised a hand to grab the white snake's sword: "Since you want to play like this, then come on."

Orochimaru deliberately stabbed the white snake into his own abdomen, but no blood flowed from the wound. Instead, Orochimaru's abdomen began to split open, as if something was crawling out of it.

The next instant, a huge white snake head emerged from it and began to expand at a visible speed.

In just a few breaths, an eight-headed white serpent, no less powerful than Susanoo, stood on the ground, facing Susanoo's wooden golem.

The Eight-Headed Serpent Technique!

Chapter 308 The White Snake!

An eight-headed python that spans the mountain peaks, the embodiment of evil and resentment!

The enormous Yamata no Orochi stood on the earth, its size no less than Danzo's wooden dummy Susanoo.

The eight dancing snake heads stood in stark contrast to the wooden Susanoo armor, and the two enormous monsters descended upon Kirigakure, causing the villagers to be utterly shocked.

"Orochimaru, you've been hiding your true strength for a long time!"

"Danzo?" The giant snake head in the middle of the Yamata no Orochi suddenly opened its mouth, and Orochimaru's true form emerged from it. He cackled at the wooden Susanoo in front of him, "Danzo, I haven't reached Bankai yet."

Upon hearing this, Danzo's expression immediately changed, and his demeanor became more serious.

Yes, even after the battle has reached this point, Orochimaru still hasn't unleashed his Bankai, but the strength he's displayed is already no less than mine.

This level of combat prowess caused Danzo to subconsciously overlook the fact that Orochimaru did not possess Bankai.

Now that I think about it...

"Impossible! The 12th Division should be a technology development division, not a combat division. Your strength could never be that great!"

Danzo, atop the wooden Susanoo, growled, whether questioning Orochimaru or convincing himself, "Even that guy, Hozuki Gengetsu, I can handle!"

Without waiting for Orochimaru to say anything, Danzo, controlling the wooden doll imbued with Susanoo, suddenly swung his fist at Orochimaru.

The Susanoo dragon on its shoulder roared as if it had come to life, charging fiercely towards the Yamata no Orochi with bared fangs and claws. With the Susanoo Armor's support, its punches were heavy as a thousand pounds and its power could shake mountains and rivers.

Orochimaru chuckled evilly. Although the Yamata no Orochi's body was enormous, it was exceptionally agile and incredibly fast.

The snake's head dodged the incoming heavy punch, but was immediately grabbed by the wooden figure's large hand.

However, the Yamata no Orochi has eight heads, and the moment the first head was grabbed, several other heads opened their blood-red mouths and began to bite.

Susagi and Yamata no Orochi engaged in hand-to-hand combat, showcasing a battle on a scale comparable to Gundam to the world once again.

The enormous noise shook the heavens and earth, attracting the attention of countless people.

"I didn't expect Orochimaru to be this strong."

Beneath the ruins of the Mizukage Building, Mei Terumi glanced with lingering fear at the bottomless abyss beside her, gazing into the distance to distract herself: "This power is already completely comparable to an ordinary captain's Bankai. If he were to unleash his Bankai, wouldn't he be able to instantly kill Danzo?!"

“That guy’s Zanpakuto is quite special. Theoretically speaking, his power limit is limitless.” Yumi Uzumaki, who knew Orochimaru’s situation, said in a deep voice, “In addition to the research of the Twelfth Division, his overall strength is not even weaker than that of Uchiha Shisui back then.”

"However, his Bankai cannot be used lightly, otherwise it will have a huge impact, and his Bankai does not provide a significant boost to combat power."

"Is a functional Bankai really this powerful...?"

Terumi Mei muttered.

Even she is far inferior to that level of strength.

"There's no point in talking about this now. No matter how strong he is, as long as he can stop Danzo, that's enough." Mizuki Akira said expressionlessly, "Uchiha Madara has already taken the Three-Tails. Miroku just sent word that the Shadow Island was destroyed by that kind of golden sword, and the Five-Tails is lost."

"Damn it, so fast?!"

"In that case, wouldn't only the Four-Tails, the Six-Tails, and Kushina's son be left?!"

"No, the remaining tailed beasts absolutely cannot be harmed!"

The goddesses' expressions changed drastically.

The importance of the Tailed Beasts is self-evident. They are not only the vital energy source for various aspects of Kirigakure at this stage, but also the core factor restricting the enemy's plans.

Mizuki Yoru once told them that as long as they held the Tailed Beasts in their hands, they could ignore ninety percent of the threats in the world, but once the Tailed Beasts were lost...

They might be facing an opponent comparable to the Sage of Six Paths!

"Obito Uchiha's whereabouts have also been located. He is temporarily held up by Minato Namikaze outside the Hidden Mist Tower. If he can join forces with Minato Namikaze on his way back, Obito will not pose much of a threat."

“But that guy who destroyed Shadow Isles is probably going to be a tough opponent.” As he spoke, Mizuki Akira glanced again at the abyss-like crack on the side.

That sword strike not only shattered the protective barrier of Kirigakure, but also obliterated the Mizukage Building, leaving a scar that could not be easily erased from Kirigakure.

According to the message from Maitreya, the Shadow Isles have already been destroyed by him. Even with Maitreya present, the entire Shadow Isles were completely destroyed in an instant.

One sword!

The Shadow Isles collapsed, and the Six-Tails was stolen.

If that guy were to arrive in Kirigakure again, it would be an absolute catastrophe for Kirigakure, which is currently without Mizuki Yoru!

"Let me go."

The sudden voice broke the silence. The slender Kimimaro stepped out from behind, looked up at his sisters, and said softly, "I will stop that guy."

"Kimimaro, you..."

"Lord Akira, I know very well how strong that guy is, but I must protect Kirigakure, because this is Lord Yoru's village!" Kimimaro's youthful face was filled with unwavering determination at this moment: "I will never, I will never let them continue to destroy like this!"

Golden light flickered on Kimimaro's body, the price he paid for enduring the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion and saving Mizuki Akira, Uzumaki Yumi, and the others from that sword strike.

His sacred writings have been activated!

“I understand.” Minazuki nodded and looked at Kimimaro seriously, saying, “Then, that guy is yours, Kimimaro.”

"Yes!"

A pair of spirit particle wings burst forth from Kimimaro's back, and a spirit particle disc appeared above his head. Combined with his pale robe, Kimimaro looked like an angel.

The Death Angel who rules over souls!

Kimimaro soared into the sky and disappeared into the horizon. Obito, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Minato Namikaze, noticed this immediately. His eyes lit up, and even his moves against Minato became a little more agile.

He had fought Kimimaro before. Although he was still young and his strength was vastly different from what it is now, Kimimaro left a very deep impression on him.

That supermodel power is simply indescribable.

Invulnerability! Invulnerability to crowd control! Invulnerability to death!

Everything that is detrimental to Kimimaro is meaningless; he is a special being who truly exists at the level of rules!

Although he didn't know if his current Six Paths Realm power could suppress Kimimaro's power, Obito was very confident that by using this guy, he could regain control of the 'Anti-Water Moon Night Alliance' and take control of the overall situation!

However, what Obito was even more curious about was, where was Yoru Minazuki?

The battle now is definitely not as simple as children playing house. After fighting to this extent, the Hidden Mist Village is now a scene of devastation, with broken walls and ruins, resembling a wasteland.

The battle between the clones and the Shinigami and Quincy continues, relentlessly pushing the village, which has been developing for over a decade, ever towards the flames.

The Shinigami captains were locked in a fierce battle, and the Mizukage Building was completely crushed, a move that was tantamount to slapping Mizuki Yoru in the face.

Adding to the loss of the tailed beasts, Kirigakure suffered such heavy losses, yet even in this situation, Mizuki Yoru still did not appear.

Is this still the same Mizuki Yoru who personally led the charge on the battlefield, crushing Konoha? Who went to the Land of Iron to stabilize the ninja world, and then to the Land of Wind to capture Sunagakure?!

Strange, so strange!

Or……

"Yes, that must be it."

"Although the spiritual pressure that day was earth-shattering and overwhelming, it would have taken a tremendous amount of mental effort to stabilize that level of energy."

Obito's Rinnegan eyes shone brightly: "While Minazuki Yoru is strong, it is by no means easy for him to stabilize that level of energy. He is probably in a special period of power stability right now."

"If that's really the case, then we have to seize the opportunity."

Obito's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and the vast power of the Six Paths within him erupted, unleashing a Bansho Ten'in attack on Minato Namikaze.

"Om..."

The sudden surge of immense gravity caught Minato Namikaze off guard, sending him hurtling backward toward Obito. But in the blink of an eye, his figure vanished.

Flying Thunder God Technique, space-time defense and counterattack!

In the instant he dodged the Universal Pull, Minato Namikaze appeared behind Obito, his Rasengan dazzlingly bright!

"Ren'ai Jieyu Haoxuan Pill!"

boom! !

The exploding Rasengan slammed into Obito, the immense recoil slamming him into the ground. At the same time, Tsunade was already waiting below, and with the power of her second Bankai, Golden Goku Koki, she delivered an unspeakable punch to Obito's lower back.

However, this almost certain strike missed its mark the moment it touched Obito.

Kawi!

Obito easily neutralized the superb Kangbo attack. With his chakra flowing freely, Obito floated in mid-air, completely unharmed, calmly looking at the people in front of him.

“Space-time ninjutsu is too troublesome.” Tsunade said seriously, clenching her fist. “We must limit his Mangekyou Sharingan, otherwise no matter how powerful our attacks are, it will be difficult to kill him.”

"That's definitely a pretty good ability, Obi-chan."

Minato Namikaze, holding his Bankai-equipped, slender Zanpakuto resembling a Flying Thunder God kunai, said, "Lady Tsunade, please take Kushina and leave this place first."

"what?"

Tsunade wondered if she had misheard. She was thinking about how to restrict space-time ninjutsu so that they could attack together, so why was she now being asked to take Kushina away?

According to the normal procedure, shouldn't it be Minato Namikaze attracting the enemy, Kushina using her ultimate restraint technique, and finally Tsunade delivering the final blow?

Why suddenly...

"Lord Hiruzen will be out soon with the Four-Tails and Naruto. I hope you and Kushina can protect Naruto."

"Minato..." Kushina looked at Minato with concern, and at the same time heard the sounds coming from the Hidden Mist Tower behind her. Just as Minato Namikaze said, Hiruzen Sarutobi had succeeded, and now the Four-Tails' sealing vessel and Naruto were in his hands.

"Go ahead, leave this to me."

The gentle voice carried trust and determination, and Kushina and Tsunade no longer hesitated, quickly heading towards the Hidden Mist Duel Tower.

On the empty ruins, only Minato Namikaze and Obito, the former master and disciple, remained.

"Without Kushina's seal, and with Tsunade's main attack relying solely on you, do you think you can be my opponent, teacher?"

Obito Uchiha looked indifferently at Minato Namikaze in front of him, and he did not stop Kushina and Tsunade from leaving.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi was useless, he was experienced and, after understanding Kushina and Tsunade's abilities, he could hold out for a short time.

This period of time was enough for him to get rid of his former teacher and sever this last bond!

"You've indeed become very strong, even stronger than me," Minato Namikaze said softly. "If it were you, you could definitely become Hokage."

"enough!"

Obito's temples bulged with veins, and his already vast chakra suddenly erupted, creating a shockwave: "Are you still going to talk nonsense, Minato Namikaze? The title of Hokage has long been meaningless to me!"

“Indeed.” Minato Namikaze gripped the Bankai kunai in his hand, which resembled a trident. At this moment, the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode on his body began to show streaks of dark lines, and both its strength and aura had increased by an order of magnitude compared to before.

Kurama Mode is the power mode that Minato Namikaze fully merged with the half of the Nine-Tails within him after realizing the threat posed by Obito and the perilous situation of the ninja world!

The 'Kurama Mode' is an advanced version of the 'Nine-Tails Chakra Mode'. In this mode, Minato Namikaze can fully mobilize the power of the Nine-Tails, and even while maintaining his human form, he can completely transform into a tailed beast, releasing a pure and enormous golden Nine-Tails entity.

However, he did not enter tailed beast form at this moment, but instead mobilized the energy with all his might and activated it.

Obito's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively rushed in front of Minato Namikaze, bringing down the Ama-no-Numa Spear he was holding tightly.
