Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Hagoromo Otsutsuki sneered, "Indeed, your special ruler sword, enhanced by your spiritual power, severely restrains the power of my world. But have you noticed that your technique for wielding this power is extremely crude?"

"Regarding the application of power and the mastery of energy, although the energy intensity within you is magnificent, the time you have spent as an energy life form since entering the Six Paths Realm is far too short. Let alone using divine power like the power of the world, you can only grasp and utilize the superficial aspects of ordinary energy."

"To be honest, even if you don't have a thousand years of experience comparable to mine, if you had a hundred years, a few decades, or even just a dozen years of enlightenment, you would probably have already defeated me."

"Humph."

Faced with the Sage of Six Paths' fallacies, Mizuki Yoru didn't bother to pay any attention, even if what the other party said was true.

Admittedly, if given ten, twenty, or even a hundred more years, Mizuki Yoru would have the confidence to challenge even the Otsutsuki god, Hagoromo.

But the reality is cruel; no one will wait until you have everything ready before letting you start the game.

After recovering from the brief rebound of divine power from the Eight Mirrors Sword, the Sage of Six Paths decisively used his control over divine power to integrate it into his body.

While this method prevents the direct use of divine power to maximize its destructive potential, it avoids the reflective effect of the Eight Mirrors Sword. Furthermore, this enhancement allows Hagoromo Otsutsuki's combat power to rise to a level comparable to Minazuki Yoru.

To come up with the most perfect solution in such a short time, Hagoromo Otsutsuki truly deserves the title of Sage of Six Paths!

However, no matter how Hagoromo Otsutsuki reacts, Minazuki Yoru doesn't care.

No matter what you do, I will break through with my own strength!

The hand-to-hand combat resumed, seemingly a clash of fists and feet, but the terrifying aftershocks of each strike were even more terrifying and overwhelming.

Mizuki raised her hand and suddenly released an extremely powerful holy annihilation arrow. Wherever the spirit sword passed, space distorted and everything collapsed.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki dodged the Sacred Arrow with a flash of movement, and instead of retreating, he advanced, continuing his attack on Mizuki Yoru.

His gaze was fixed on Mizuki Yoru in front of him without blinking, his divine power surging, and he looked like a ferocious lion about to pounce on its prey.

A sneer of undisguised mockery appeared on Mizuki Yoru's lips. The next moment, he swung his black sword fiercely, creating a sharp and terrifying gust of wind as he slashed at the space to the side.

"Oh!"

The black blade sliced ​​through space, tearing it to shreds.

The seemingly empty space suddenly rippled, and then a figure appeared strangely, flying backwards in a somewhat disheveled manner.

Who else could it be but the Sage of Six Paths?

"No force in this world can escape the four categories of time, space, matter, and energy, which are the origin of all things."

"Whether you possess some kind of origin or have a lot of combat experience, the fact that my power surpasses yours means I am stronger than you, Hagoromo Otsutsuki!"

"Nonsense!" Hagoromo Otsutsuki roared, his Tenma Spear gleaming as he charged forward once more.

"This is the nature of the world."

Facing the oncoming Hagoromo Otsutsuki, Mizuki Yoru sneered and swung his black sword upwards. A concave arc appeared in the space in front of him, and the compressed energy shot out with violent force, colliding with the Heavenly Swamp Spear.

"Oh!"

Just as the Spear of Amanuma was about to reach the head of Minazuki Yoru, it collided with the Black Blade. The recoil from the Spear of Amanuma caused the entire Spear of Amanuma to tremble continuously.

The Divine Sword of Faith has begun to waver!

"I will not be defeated!" Hagoromo Otsutsuki roared, his hand gripping the Spear of Amanuma suddenly clenching: "Continue to give me power!"

A dazzling light burst forth from the five orbs of light behind him, and Hagoromo Otsutsuki's aura returned to normal. At the same time, countless natural disasters continued to unfold throughout the ninja world.

Earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions.

In this apocalyptic situation, countless Shinigami and Quincy attacked one after another, and surging spiritual energy permeated the world.

"Celestial Art: The Descent of the Flower and Tree Realm!"

With a loud shout, Hashirama Senju clasped his hands together, and the power within him flowed continuously into the earth.

With a deafening roar, countless vines burst forth from the earth, and in the blink of an eye, the world transformed into a sea of ​​trees.

Countless trees piled up and intertwined, trying to repair the earth that had cracked open, but even the power of the God of Ninjas was far from enough in the face of such a natural disaster.

The newly repaired earth shattered once more, and abyss-like cracks appeared one after another, from which scorching hot lava emanated.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Barrage!"

"Earth Escape! Earth Current City Wall!"

"Earth Release! Earth Flow River!"

All the Shinigami and Quincy are contributing their utmost efforts to try to stop the collapse of the world. At this moment, everyone is working together.

The collapse of the world seemed to have been delayed considerably, but before long, the earth began to tremble again.

"It's not just Kirigakure; the entire ninja world is now experiencing widespread earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, on a scale unprecedented in thousands of years."

"What's going on? Why did such a severe natural disaster suddenly occur?!"

"What exactly is happening in the ninja world?!"

The catastrophe in the ninja world is escalating, and its severity has even surpassed that of the collapse of the moon!

The five great nations and countless smaller nations are all in the ruins of the catastrophe, while the situation in the Misty Hidden Kingdom, located at sea, is even worse, with tsunamis raging, islands collapsing, and volcanoes erupting.

That was a complete upheaval!

"No, the entire island is crumbling. Even if I remove all the islands of Kirigakure from the earth, other parts of the ninja world will probably still be completely destroyed."

Hashirama Senju, at full power, had a solemn expression on his face, with the Sage Mode mask already appearing on his face.

Having been transformed into a Shinigami, his strength doubled compared to his previous life. Coupled with the power of Sage Mode, which allowed him to manipulate the natural energy of heaven and earth, Hashirama Senju's strength at this moment could be considered his true peak.

However, when faced with a catastrophe that could overturn the heavens and earth, his power seemed somewhat insignificant.

Even so, Hashirama Senju would not give up. Peace and stability were what he valued most in his life, and in his eyes, Yoru Minazuki had already accomplished what he had not. So what he had to do was to protect this achievement to the greatest extent possible.

Countless trees rose from the ground, standing tall and supporting the collapsing and engulfing Misty Island.

The giant trees stretched endlessly, their roots intertwined and deeply embedded in the vast ocean, much like the towering divine tree from the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Back then, the divine tree took root in the earth to absorb the power of the world.

But at this moment, this towering tree is Noah's Ark that will save the world!

From a distance, it looks like a giant tree reaching for the sky, breaking through the vast ocean, stretching out its branches and supporting islands.

Beneath the towering treetops, countless survivors of death and Quincy gazed in awe at the figure with hands clasped in prayer.

"Is this the power of the First Hokage, hailed as the God of Shinobi, Senju Hassai, the hot mom...?"

"They are truly powerful; no wonder they were able to quell the chaos of war."

"But what exactly happened to the ninja world? Why did such destruction and collapse suddenly occur?"

Hashirama Senju truly deserves the title of God of Shinobi, but what puzzles the world even more is why such a large-scale natural disaster suddenly occurred in the originally peaceful shinobi world, even to the point of causing the sky to collapse and the earth to split apart.

According to intelligence reports, this situation is not limited to Kirigakure; it is occurring throughout the entire ninja world.

In contrast, without top-tier ninjas to protect them, even with their best efforts to provide disaster relief and resist calamities, their losses are becoming increasingly severe. It won't be long before the entire village, and even the entire country, is overthrown.

Suddenly, dozens of beams of light burst open at the top of the treetop dome, densely packed like the entrances to wormholes, raining down from the sky.

"Are you ready, everyone?"

Mizuki Akira walked through the air, his solemn voice echoing in everyone's ears: "The stability of the ninja world depends on you!"

The next moment, dozens of beams of light enveloped the figures in the arena. Among them were the Death Captain, members of the Sternritter, and even those who had long since passed away but had become Death Gods again.

Their figures were enveloped by pillars of light, which, with the help of the power of the black cavity, were transmitted to all parts of the ninja world, beginning to stabilize this collapsing ninja world to the greatest extent possible.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Watching the black pillar of light gradually dissipate, Hashirama Senju, who was maintaining the giant tree, finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Akira Mizuki and the others: "The ninja world depends on you. Without you, the entire ninja world is probably..."

"What we need to do now is figure out what exactly happened." The middle-aged Sasuke appeared with Orochimaru, Uzumaki Yumi and others, and said in a deep voice, "A natural disaster of this magnitude suddenly broke out without warning in such a short period of time. There is definitely something wrong with that."

"But we can't detect any external force."

Uchiha Shisui shook his head and said, "There are no intruders, no abnormal energy reactions. All the data shows that this is just a natural disaster."

"Don't worry, Maitreya should give us the answer soon."

Akira Minazuki descended from the sky, glanced at the middle-aged Sasuke, and said to Yumi Uzumaki, "Didn't you go to conduct the Shinigami experiments?"

"The commotion was too loud, so we stopped for the time being."

Yumi Uzumaki shook her head and said, "The experiment requires an absolutely stable environment, and such an environment is really not..."

"The problem lies in the very origin of this world!"

Before he arrived, his voice preceded his arrival. Maitreya hurriedly tore through space and looked at the crowd, saying quickly, "I have used the power of my sacred script to find out the general situation. The origin of this world has been constantly being consumed and used since just now."

"By now, the very essence of this world has been severely depleted, which is why these natural disasters have occurred in the ninja world."

"A depletion of primordial power?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present frowned.

Those who have reached this level of power know very well what the power of origin is. It is the energy reserve of this world, the source of its vitality and the root of its life.

Once the primordial power of this world is exhausted, then this world will eventually become like those barren, dead stars in the universe!

The reason why the people of the ninja world had to fight the Fourth Shinobi World War, and why Mizuki Yoru had to fight the Otsutsuki to the death, ultimately lies in the fact that what the Otsutsuki wanted was to use the God Tree to seize the original power of the planet beneath their feet, and thus condense the Chakra Fruit.

But at this moment, Kaguya Otsutsuki has already been devoured by Yoru Minazuki, the ninja world is at peace, and there are no more Otsutsuki causing trouble. How could the origin of the ninja world suddenly be lost on a large scale?

Could it be that……

The people present exchanged glances, all thinking of the fierce battle that was currently raging between Minazuki Yoru and others.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. It's not Minazuki Yoru, it's Otsutsuki Hagoromo!"

The sudden sound came again, and a figure that no one expected arrived by stepping through the air.

The pale figure had a face that was half distorted, and a pair of pale purple Rinnegan looked down at everyone present.

In an instant, everyone present was stunned, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Wasn't Obito Uchiha already defeated by Mizuki Yoru? How come he's still...?

“Oh, pen tip…” The middle-aged Sasuke’s eyes had transformed into Eternal Eyes, the six-tomoe Sharingan faintly visible beneath his black hair, exuding a chilling killing intent.

"Uchiha Sasuke from the future, huh?"

Obito Uchiha snorted lightly and said calmly, "Don't be nervous, I am not an enemy."

Chapter 348: Stripping away the origin!

"Although Minazuki defeated me and dug out the Ten-Tails from my body, he did not choose to kill me."

"Perhaps it is to atone for my sins, but at this moment, I am an interstellar observer stationed on the moon, the first line of defense protecting the ninja world from the invasion of the Otsutsuki!"

Seeing the various expressions on everyone's faces, Obito Uchiha was not surprised. How could what he had done be so easily forgiven?

Moreover, now is not the time to talk about these things. He must make a response in the shortest possible time to stop the collapse of the ninja world!

"Time is running out, so I'll get straight to the point."

Obito Uchiha's gaze swept around before finally settling on Mizuki Akira: "Minazuki Yoru is currently fighting Otsutsuki Hagoromo, also known as the Sage of Six Paths. And our former sage, now Otsutsuki Calamity, is mobilizing the power of the ninja world, attempting to drag the entire ninja world down with him into hell, making the whole world perish with him!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions, especially the middle-aged Sasuke.

In the past Ninja War, he and Naruto were able to defeat Madara Uchiha and seal Kaguya Otsutsuki, the Goddess of the Rabbit, with the help of the Sage of Six Paths, thus ending the battle. Now it seems that they were just pawns.

No one present doubted Obito Uchiha's words. The reason was simple: when he spoke these words, he also produced a special kind of spiritual energy.

That is the spiritual power that belongs only to Minazuki Yoru!

"What should we do now?" Mizuki Akira asked in a low voice.

“It sounds simple, but it’s also complicated.” Obito Uchiha said in a deep voice, “The reason why Hagoromo Otsutsuki was able to extract the power of this world is because he mastered the natural origins of the five elements of wind, fire, lightning, earth, and water in this world. With this as the core, he was able to mobilize the power of the world.”

"The first solution is to replace the five elemental cores with the original ones, in order to replace the five elemental cores that were taken away by Hagoromo Otsutsuki."

"Once the origin returns, Hagoromo Otsutsuki will no longer be able to mobilize the power of the world."

Everyone frowned.

Returning to the origin sounds simple, but it's almost impossible to actually do.

First of all, they had no idea what the five elemental origins were, what they looked like, let alone how to send them back.

Where should we send it?

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Obito Uchiha did not hesitate and spoke again: "The second method is to sever Hagoromo Otsutsuki's connection with the ninja world."
