Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

"...What do you mean by 'better chakra extraction'?"

"literal meaning."

Madara Uchiha fell silent.

The world seems to be shrouded in layers of mist. Even if he peels away one layer after another, there are still deeper layers of mist behind them.

"Don't worry about it. This technique won't affect us. On the contrary, it will attract the attention of Kaguya's two sons." Otsutsuki Isshiki controlled Uchiha Madara's body and came to the Ten-Tails, extending a hand.

The power was drawn in, and the Ten-Tails' chakra flowed continuously into his body.

The Ten-Tails immediately showed a pained expression and curled up its body.

Having absorbed a large amount of Ten-Tails chakra, Madara Uchiha's black markings became even more complex, and the horn on the top of his head grew thicker and thicker, even starting to grow backward, resembling a majestic crown.

As he continued to absorb chakra, his aura grew stronger and stronger until it reached a certain critical point and then stopped.

"This is all that can be absorbed."

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki clenched his gloved hand, roughly sensing the power within his body: "It's enough."

The next moment, the black eye in his right eye, shaped like the Chinese character "米" (rice), suddenly contracted, the space in front of him trembled, and a spatial portal was opened.

"Prepare your grand gift, you lowly scum!"

Otsutsuki Isshiki sneered and instantly darted into the spatial portal.

……

With the blood moon high in the sky, Obito Uchiha reigned supreme over all living beings.

Below him, almost everyone was trapped in the Infinite Tsukuyomi, with only a handful still able to maintain their sanity.

Yumi Uzumaki, Mei Terumi, Yukiko Touna, Akira Minazuki, Hikaru Uchiha, Miroku, Kimimaro.

These seven people were not trapped under the control of Infinite Tsukuyomi.

The seven were not controlled by the Infinite Tsukuyomi, but a hint of pity appeared in Obito Uchiha's eyes.

In his view, the greatest tragedy is not being trapped in the Infinite Tsukuyomi, not entering that perfect dream world, but instead remaining in this devastated and sorrowful real world!

“You can’t even enter that perfect dream world.” Obito Uchiha shook his head: “Pathetic, lamentable, pitiful.”

"Stop joking! We only managed to resist your illusion!" Mei Terumi shouted, her gaze sweeping over the people trapped in the illusion behind her, her expression growing increasingly serious.

"Resist?"

Obito Uchiha chuckled lightly: "What awaits you is nothing more than an even more hellish future."

Sakura Mizuki and the others remained silent, unleashing their spiritual power to attack Obito. However, in the blink of an eye, they were sent flying backward at an even faster speed.

Kimimaro, in his giant form of light, swung his divine sword, but it was easily cut in half by the Spear of Ama-no-Numa.

Eight thousand spears are like children in front of the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan, and Miroku's revitalization is even more meaningless.

"Do you feel despair?"

Obito Uchiha's indifferent voice echoed between heaven and earth. After activating the Eye of the Moon, his power was once again enhanced to a terrifying level, a level that only the Goddess of the Rabbit could reach in the past!

Faced with this power, the members of Kirigakure were completely powerless to fight back.

The black rod fell, pinning everyone to the ground. Although the powerful spiritual energy allowed them to survive, for the world as a whole, the future would not change.

"it's all over."

Obito Uchiha murmured, his gaze seemingly piercing through space, seeing countless people in the ninja world trapped in the Infinite Tsukuyomi. In the perfect dream world, they found their own perfect world, just like the perfect timeline that Ike found.

That would be the best possible outcome.

"Oh, pen tip, you've succeeded! You've changed the world, you're the savior of this world. From now on, no one in this world will ever fall into sorrow and pain again."

Black Zetsu emerged, excitedly and slowly approaching Obito Uchiha.

The Six Paths power that the Goddess of the Rabbit left on him gradually condensed at this moment, but just as Black Zetsu was about to approach Obito, a black rod fell in front of Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu's expression froze abruptly, looking at Obito with disbelief: "Oh, Obito, what do you mean by this?!"

"At this point, are you still going to pretend?"

Obito Uchiha turned around and calmly looked at Black Zetsu in front of him. The blood-red Rinnegan with nine tomoe shone with a scarlet light between his eyebrows, which was breathtaking.

"You're not Madara's consciousness at all, are you, Black Zetsu?"

"What are you talking about, oh pen tip? I don't understand what you mean."

"hehe."

Facing Black Zetsu, who was feigning ignorance, Obito sneered, his eyes filled with undisguised mockery: "You guys are always like this, treating me like an ignorant idiot, a fool you can control at will. Madara is the same, and so are you."

"You think I don't know who left the curse mark on my heart and turned Rin into the Three-Tails Jinchuriki?

"You think I don't know what you're trying to do, that you're guiding me to seize the Tailed Beasts, revive the Ten-Tails, and ultimately awaken the Eye of the Moon?"

"I actually know all of this!"

Obito Uchiha's tone was extremely sharp, causing Black Zetsu's already dark face, which made his expression unreadable, to gradually become serious.

The facade of 'Ban's consciousness' can probably no longer be maintained, but a complete revelation is impossible.

He is no match for Obito right now, even if he activates the hidden trump card within Obito's body.

The reason is simple: the power within Obito's body was too complex!

Because of Minazuki Yoru's existence, Black Zetsu went to great lengths to complete his plan as quickly as possible.

Obito broke through to the Six Paths Realm by relying on the powerful fusion ability of the Demon Sprout Technique. By using the power of bloodline fusion, he completed the bloodline reversion to its ancestral form. This was the very essence of Obito, making it incredibly flawed.

But if that's all there is to it, then so be it, since it's all fused with the bloodlines of the six realms, so a little impurity is acceptable.

However, Obito then devoured the Ten-Tails, becoming its jinchūriki. He then absorbed the immense power of the giant Tenseigan. Powerful forces fused within Obito's body, ultimately forming the Obito Uchiha we see today.

Even Black Zetsu wasn't entirely confident in facing such a monster.

He needs Obito to lower his guard.

"...Now that things have come to this, it seems I really have to come clean with you."

Black Zetsu remained silent for a long time. Under Obito Uchiha's piercing gaze, he sighed heavily and said seriously, "You're right. I am indeed not Madara's consciousness. My true identity is Indra, the eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, and an ancestor of the Uchiha clan!"

"What?" Obito frowned deeply. Even now, he was taken aback when he heard such a name.

"Stop joking, Black Zetsu, Indra and all that..."

"I'm not joking, you idiot." Black Zetsu's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was calm: "In the past, I fought with my younger brother Ashura and was eventually defeated. The obsession in my heart and the chakra left to me by my father eventually turned me into this form, wandering the ninja world as a black ghost."

"I'm not reconciled! How could that idiot Ashura defeat me? Why would Father trust Ashura more and entrust the Ninja Sect to him?"

"I wander through the ninja world, guiding my descendants to become stronger, stronger than the descendants of Ashura, but my foolish descendants have disappointed me time and time again... until I discovered Mada, until I discovered you, oh pen tip."

"You and Madara are both my most outstanding descendants. No, you are even more outstanding than Madara. Although he awakened the Eternal Eye and even the Rinnegan under my guidance, he was ultimately no match for Hashirama Senju, the reincarnation of Ashura."

"But you are different."

"You've done everything. You've not only surpassed Mada, but you've also surpassed me, and even surpassed your father. You've accomplished things that he never did!"

Black Zetsu's praise gradually dispelled the coldness in Obito's eyes. As the saying goes, flattery will get you everywhere. Although Obito's current power is comparable to that of the Goddess of the Rabbit, in the end, he is still just a virtuous second-rate person.

The strength of chakra cannot reverse the 'wise' attribute.

Sensing Obito's slightly weakened killing intent, Black Zetsu was overjoyed, thinking to himself that things were looking promising. Completely disregarding the fact that he was disguised as his unfortunate nephew, he continued his self-directed and self-acted performance.

"My father traveled all over the ninja world to quell the chaos, but after he passed away, the ninja world remained in chaos and war continued."

"But now, under the light of Infinite Tsukuyomi, the whole world will be free from war and sorrow... Oh, Penhead, you have done what even your father could not do. You are my pride, you are the true savior of this world!"

Chapter 326 The Return of the Soul Ruler!

Indra.

The eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths, the true ancestor of the Uchiha clan, and also Black Zetsu's nephew.

In order to achieve his goals and to dispel Obito Uchiha's vigilance, Black Zetsu disregarded his seniority and disguised himself as Indra's nephew.

The expressions on the faces of the Rokudo brothers, who were secretly observing the situation, and Gamamaru became extremely strange.

"Indra reincarnation? How could he even come up with that?"

The Sage of Six Paths snorted coldly. Only Black Zetsu would do something like this, pretending to be the son while being the younger brother.

"Your whole family is quite amusing." Gamamaru instinctively wanted to bark, but seeing the Sage of Six Paths' unfriendly expression, he chuckled and said, "But speaking of which, are you just going to watch Black Zetsu and Obito Uchiha run amok like this?"

"Given Obito's current internal energy, if the Goddess of the Rabbit were to break free... even with your thousand-year plan, it would be difficult to deal with her."

"Do you think I didn't leave any backup plan with my mother?" The Sage of Six Paths glanced indifferently at Gamamaru.

Given the power within Obito's body at this stage, if Kaguya Otsutsuki were truly resurrected by Black Zetsu using Obito's body, her power level would definitely not be much weaker than at her peak.

After all, Obito is now not only the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, but he has also activated the Infinite Tsukuyomi, taking control of the entire ninja world.

This means that as long as Kaguya Otsutsuki breaks free from her seal, she can directly unleash the Divine Tree Advent, drawing upon the power of the entire world!

However, that's in theory.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki was very confident in his plan, and also in his power.

Just as he resolutely abandoned everything to wander the ninja world and spread chakra, he has the ability and the magnanimity to do so.

"Just wait, it won't be long before it's all over... Hmm?"

Hagoromo Otsutsuki seemed to sense something, and his gaze suddenly sharpened.

In that instant, Gamamaru and Hamura Otsutsuki both turned their gazes toward the direction Hagoromo was looking, their expressions suddenly becoming serious.

"how come!"

After the initial shock came disbelief. Gamamaru growled incredulously, "This is impossible! I sacrificed the power of the entire dream world, banishing it into the turbulent currents of space."

"Even if he could really come back, it would take at least decades or hundreds of years. How could he possibly be back so quickly... Wait, this aura!"

Gamamaru murmured in shock, the more he sensed it, the more powerful the aura became.

That power has completely surpassed the level it was when we fought him back then!

“Mizuna Tsukiyo…” Gamamaru stared in disbelief at the vast sky, muttering, “What exactly did you gain in the universe?!”

……

The Pure Land of the Underworld.

The desolate, gray world was devoid of any color, as if all light and vitality in the world had been stripped away.

A figure silently tore through space and descended into this world, frowning as he looked at the desolate world before him.

"This is the Pure Land of the Underworld, how..."

"It's not quite what you know?" Otsutsuki Isshiki chuckled, directly controlling Madara's body to quickly traverse this desolate world. Before long, he arrived at a certain place.

The gloomy, dilapidated world was devoid of any color, except for a long, blood-red river that stood out starkly.

It meanders and twists, stretching all the way to a towering mountain peak in the distance. On the surface of the river, vaguely outlined spirits appear.

These spirits rose and fell on the blood-red river surface, as if struggling or howling, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.

"See? After your souls come to this world, let alone self-awareness, you might not even be able to keep your spirits. What can you possibly see?"

Madara Uchiha fell silent.

No wonder he had no memory of anything during his long sleep; he seemed to be in a daze, living in a dark world.

So this is what the Pure Land of the Underworld truly looks like!

"where is that……"

Madara Uchiha's gaze followed the blood-red river all the way to the towering mountain that reached into the clouds.

With his exceptional pupil power, his vision could penetrate the thin mist shrouding the mountains and see the scenery at the end of the Blood River atop the peaks.

That is……

A temple?

"That's where the Hagoromo and Hamura brothers are." Otsutsuki Isshiki snorted softly. During the time he was lying low in the ninja world, the Six Paths brothers were also hiding in the Yomi Pure Land, laying out their plans.

The concept of the Pure Land of the Underworld didn't actually exist when he and Kaguya Otsutsuki descended to Earth. Back then, this place was called the 'Underworld,' and the river at their feet was called the 'River Styx.'

At that time, after a person died, their soul would return directly to the River Styx, where its waters would wash away their memories, and then they would be reincarnated and return to the present world.
