Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

"How did you know about Xiao Nan? What have you done?!"

In order for the Akatsuki organization to develop better, Yahiko, along with Nagato and half of the Akatsuki members, went out to take on missions to earn money while spreading the seeds of peace.

Konan, one of the three leaders of the Akatsuki organization, was stationed in Amegakure, which became the Akatsuki's safest rear base.

Without a doubt, the angelic young leader held an irreplaceable place in the hearts of the Akatsuki members, and now, this guy was actually trying to use their angel to carry out some plans...

Anger, murderous intent!

"Don't look at me like that, members of Akatsuki. I'm here to gain your friendship, not hatred, so I'm willing to show you my sincerity."

Obito's deep voice rang out from under his mask: "While you were away from Amegakure, Hanzo joined forces with external forces and attacked your organization."

"That's impossible! Lord Hanzo has already shown us a friendly and peaceful attitude. He supports us, so how could he possibly attack us!"

Yahiko growled, he absolutely refused to believe the guy's words.

Although Hanzo is really bad now, everything he did leading Amegakure back then still makes him the most special person in the hearts of countless Amegakure people.

The resistance was for a better survival, and the people they were resisting were not Hanzo, but this suffering, war-filled world!

If one could gain the recognition of a former demigod during the rebellion, or even awaken the demigod with one's own ideals, that would be an unparalleled honor!

"Whether you believe it or not is up to you. If you don't believe it, go to the base and see for yourself."

Obito said calmly, "How can I allow others to snore beside my bed? The rise of your Akatsuki organization has already threatened Hanzo's rule, so naturally he cannot let you live."

"According to my intelligence, your base has been completely destroyed, all members perished in the poisonous fog, and your angel has been captured by Hanzo."

"If nothing unexpected happens, once you've fully entered the core area of ​​Amegakure, some Amegakure ninja who obey Hanzo should come to offer you a negotiation invitation."

"This is impossible……"

Yahiko was still muttering "impossible" when suddenly he turned around and disappeared into the rain.

"Yahiko!"

"Lord Chief!"

The Akatsuki members hurriedly gave chase, but as Nagato passed by Obito, he suddenly heard the other man say softly, "This world is beyond saving, filled with darkness. It's okay if you don't understand now because you have the Sage's Eyes, but one day you will."

"I will wait for you here every day. As long as you change your mind, my door will always be open for you, Nagato!"

Nagato paused slightly before disappearing into the rain.

As the Akatsuki members' figures gradually blurred, White Zetsu, who had witnessed everything, slowly emerged from the ground.

"I never expected things to turn out this way. It seems like we can lure Nagato over without any trouble at all."

"Thanks to Hanzo, has the identity of his accomplice been confirmed?"

"It was Danzo who gave the order while the Third Hokage was negotiating in the Land of Iron. He had already been in contact with Hanzo. In exchange, Danzo would help him eliminate the Akatsuki, while Hanzo would help Konoha relieve the pressure on the battlefield in Iwagakure."

"In addition, the person who carried out this mission was Uchiha Shisui, and he brought a lot of people with him, all of whom were from the Uchiha clan."

"Still water..."

Madara's voice echoed in Obito's mind. The three tomoe in his eyes slowly rotated as he whispered, "According to Madara's deduction, he should have also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"Do you want to use his eyes to fill the void in your left eye?"

"Yes, the Sharingan needs to be aligned left and right to unleash its full power. Before we can take my eyes back from that guy Minazuki Yoru, taking Shisui's eyes is a good option."

"However, I still don't know what kind of pupil technique he has."

When a member of the Uchiha clan loses an important love or suffers from their disappointment, a special chakra surges in their brain, acting on the optic nerve and causing changes in their eyes—these are the eyes that reflect the soul.

That special chakra can manifest different eye techniques depending on one's emotions, which is the origin of the name 'Mangekyou'.

Back then, he witnessed his beloved being killed by his most respected teacher. Unable to believe what he was seeing, he even considered escaping from the world.

Thus, Kamui was born!

"I wonder what you lost that awakened the Kaleidoscope, Shisui..."

Obito murmured, the crimson three-tomoe jade pendant beneath his vortex mask slowly rotating.

But it doesn’t matter.

No matter the reason or what kind of pupil technique he developed, he will get his hands on that eye!

Through Madara Uchiha's careful instruction within the illusion.

At this point, Obito was no longer the bottom-ranked student who had just graduated from the Konoha Ninja Academy.

He is now the living Uchiha Madara, who has mastered the Five Elements Release Techniques, Yin-Yang Release Techniques, Wood Release, and the Sharingan, and has seen through countless legends and secrets, inheriting the title of the Asura of the Ninja World!

The real Uchiha Madara!

(Why can't I see chapter 97...?)

Chapter 100 The Extinguished Light of Rain by Female Secretary Terumi Mei

After concluding his succession ceremony as the Fourth Mizukage, the first thing Yoru did was to extend the original Yuki clan population recovery plan to the entire Kirigakure village, transforming it into the Kirigakure village population recovery plan.

Even though some old guys thought that as the first decree of the newly appointed Fourth Hokage, this plan should not be so vulgar and offensive to public morals when it was issued, Yoru didn't care.

Population is the foundation of everything. No matter what Ye Weilai wants to do, he needs a sufficient population to support it.

If you don't even have anyone under your command, then no matter how outstanding or excellent you are as a leader, it's all meaningless.

"Now, because of your plan, the entire Hidden Mist Village is filled with those unbearable sounds, day and night, Night!"

Despite being a top-tier genius with two bloodlines, she was used as an intelligence agent during the war, and after the war, she was pulled in by Yoru to be his secretary. Mei Terumi couldn't help but complain: "Also, what's with that female ninja you brought back from the Kage Summit with the Third Hokage? What, as the Fourth Hokage, are you trying to set an example for the village?"

"...If that's how you think, then there's no problem."

Ye flipped through a document that required his, the new Mizukage's, stamp for confirmation, and said without looking up.

"Ugh, what do you mean there's no problem?!"

Mei Terumi was getting a little frustrated. Although she had known for a long time that this guy was a scumbag, even though he had her as his childhood friend, he would always bring back one or two girls from somewhere from time to time.

That's how Yumi Uzumaki used to be.

That Yecang guy is the same way now!

I hope some random women won't show up again. I don't think there's anything quite right about that Minazuki Akira from the Snow Clan...

What am I supposed to do then?

"As the Fourth Generation's personal secretary, it's not wrong for you to keep an eye on me all day long, but I hope that in addition to these things, you can better help me handle and share some other matters."

Night looked up at Terumi Mei, whose face was flushed with jealousy, and picked up a document, asking her a question.

What do you think of this plan?

"That scumbag! He deceived my heart, tricked me, and then made me do all the hard labor..."

Mei Terumi muttered a few words, but her gaze remained obediently fixed on the documents, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

A moment later, the female secretary, Terumi Mei, expressed her views and opinions.

"It would definitely be fine to revert the Third Hokage's ninja academy policy back to the one established by the Second Hokage. After all, the reason why Konoha was able to deploy so many troops to deal with the attacks of multiple major powers at the same time during the war was because of this ninja academy system."

"The Second Hokage's Ninja Academy system, while it may not immediately equip graduates with the mindset to fight on the battlefield, can alleviate the current population shortage problem in Kirigakure, enhance the emotional bonds between ninjas, deepen their affinity for the village, and thus reduce the occurrence of rogue ninjas."

"Well said, no wonder you are my handpicked personal secretary."

Night nodded in satisfaction: "Then it's your turn to discuss with the teachers at the Ninja Academy how to revise the daily teaching materials and the content of the graduation exam!"

"Ah I?"

Mei Terumi blinked.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not doing this to slack off or to indulge in those messy, disgusting ideas that are running through your head." Yoru tapped Mei Terumi's head and pointed to a pile of documents on the table, looking annoyed.

"This includes distributing compensation to those who died or were wounded in battle, allocating manpower to complete various tasks and missions that were piling up during the war, and even promoting young people who have accumulated merits and achievements in the war to fill the gaps in the middle and upper-level ninjas caused by the war..."

"In addition, the envoy from Konoha should be arriving soon. I'll have to entertain him then, as that's a huge sum of fifty million taels!"

"I'm extremely busy, so please respect and understand me, the fourth generation, okay? My dear secretary."

"……sorry!"

Mei Terumi blushed and bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle to express her apology.

Just now, she actually had the thought in her mind, 'That bastard Yoru dumped everything on me so he could go find that female ninja or that Uzumaki Yumi, right?'

"Well, I'll forgive you for now."

Ye hummed twice, as if he wanted to say something more, but his expression suddenly changed.

"what happened?"

The attentive female secretary clearly noticed the change in Ye's expression: "Is there any oversight in the plan?"

"No, it's just that the methods I left behind earlier brought me some pleasant surprises."

Ye Chen said in a deep voice, "Go and work with the school teachers and the person in charge to finalize the education-related matters. Once things are settled there, if I haven't returned by then, please also help me deal with the pile of administrative and miscellaneous matters here."

"Wh-what, Night..."

Before Mei Terumi could finish speaking, Yoru's figure vanished instantly from the Mizukage's office.

The next moment, a beam of light shot into the sky and rose in the light mist. Mei Terumi quickly ran forward and looked through the window at the beam of light outside Kirigakure.

"Even the reflective membrane has been used; isn't this a village matter?"

Mei Terumi murmured, "Tonight...be careful."

……

The continuous drizzle could not extinguish the anger in the hearts of the two boys.

"Why, Lord Hanzo, why did you betray us?!"

Standing in the rain, Yahiko looked at the people on the hill in front of him and roared in disbelief.

"Didn't we agree to work together for the peace of Amegakure and fight for the peace of the ninja world? Why are you doing this to Lord Hanzo!"

"Don't joke around, there was never any cooperation from beginning to end."

A mocking laugh came from beneath the gas mask. The decaying demigod, holding the girl hostage, said calmly, "You naive souls simply don't understand how cruel this world truly is. Your ignorant and fearless development has touched upon things you shouldn't have, and naturally, you will pay the price."

"We never intended to replace you, Lord Hanzo. The development of Akatsuki was entirely for the sake of making Amegakure better, entirely..."

"Zheng!!"

A kunai ripped through the air and landed in front of Yahiko and Nagato.

"Stop saying such naive and laughable things, Yahiko. Amegakure no longer needs your Akatsuki organization, and I will have you, as its leader, die here."

"hateful!"

Yahiko gritted his teeth. He never imagined that the demigod Hanzo, whom countless people of Amegakure admired and were most proud of, would become like this.

What difference is there between Hanzo like this and those who are consumed by power, blinded by profit, and wage war for their own selfish gain?

"If you resist, this woman may lose her life."

A detached voice rang out from beneath Hanzo's gas mask. Despite being a demigod, he felt no remorse for his despicable methods.

Yahiko clenched his fists. Let the Akatsuki's cooperation with Hanzo break down, he thought. Hanzo was not worthy of cooperating with the Akatsuki. But with Konan in his hands, Yahiko could never abandon his comrade.

"You don't dare to commit suicide, huh... Hey you, the red-haired kid over there, pick up a kunai and kill Yahiko, then I'll let you and this woman go!" Hanzo said, threatening and bribing Nagato, who was trembling beside Yahiko.

"Stop! Nagato! Run! Don't worry about me."

Xiao Nan screamed her heart out.

She hated Hanzo's broken promise, hated the enemy's despicable shamelessness, and hated her own incompetence even more!

Why did she have to be captured? Why did she have to drag everyone down with her? She should have died with her companions under that poisonous fog.

He wanted to commit suicide, but his hands were bound and his chakra was completely sealed.

Konan had tried some special methods, but without demonstrating the value of the captives, how could the cunning Hanzo allow his hostages to die?

"Konan...Yahiko, I..."

"Boy, are you really going to just sit by and watch this woman die by my hand?"

Nagato seemed somewhat at a loss, but Hanzo's voice rang out again.
