It would be too exaggerated if an illusion could work on a puppet that is not a living thing but is created by secret techniques.

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you."

The half-baked Yin-Yang Escape is still of some use.

The four heart-attribute monsters that were out of control were the most obvious targets. After Nozomi and Koji used the seven-tailed half-tailed beast transformation to fly into the sky, they easily used ninja tools to pierce the hearts of the four monsters at close range. Of course, under the cover of Mizuki's body, the sound and light effects were not only gorgeous but also sacred. Justice defeating evil and gods exterminating demons required a solemn sense of ritual.

"As for you..."

As for the last body with the earth attribute heart, Shuimu thought about it and decided not to kill him.

The long silver hair suddenly stretched out and wrapped Kakuzu in it. After the Diamond Seal paralyzed all the chakra fluctuations in Kakuzu's body, Di Yuanyu finally calmed down.

"Why keep him? Do you want to study the Earth's Grudge?"

Mizuki shook his head.

"No need. This evil immortal body only looks like a perfect immortality technique, but it is actually just a failure."

The Earth Grudge is not a bloodline limit, nor is it a ninja tool, treasure or artifact, but a secret technique!

That's right, this thing is actually a special transformation method, which is essentially the same as Orochimaru's software transformation technique, but the direction of development is different.

Those who practice Di Yuan Yu discarded most of their bodies. Except for the heart, they basically have no vital parts. What keeps them alive are the blood vessels and meridians throughout the body that are transformed along with the heart. This is also the basis for maintaining vitality and performing ninjutsu.

Although theoretically as long as he had enough hearts, Kakuzu could live forever, for ordinary people, immortality is definitely not a good thing, especially for those who practice Divine Path. They need to abandon the most important carrier of thinking - the brain. Without sufficient spiritual practice, it is quite difficult to maintain their own will like Orochimaru.

"Why is Kakuzu so obsessed with something as ridiculous as money? For a strong man of Kakuzu's level, what does it matter if he has more or less money? He's not the leader of the Akatsuki organization, and he needs resources to maintain his big family and business."

It’s nothing more than a magic stick that keeps self-awareness from being skewed.

It's really commendable that a guy like Kakuzu could come up with such a method.

However, this is not a long-term solution after all. If things continue like this, Kakuzu will either become a puppet that loses his self and is devoured by his own forbidden techniques, or become a monster that only knows how to collect money.

For Kakuzu, every time he takes a heart to prolong his life, it is a mental pollution. Although it is not as serious as Orochimaru's Reincarnation, it is definitely not easy.

This has been clear since Mizuki's last physical clone, Nozomi, was almost killed by Kakuzu and Hidan's sneak attack, and a part of the blood vessels transformed by the Earth Regret was taken away.

"I didn't kill him because I still need this guy!"

He performed a crappy stage play with Shuimu, and maybe he will make a cameo appearance in Infernal Affairs next.

Although the strength of the Akatsuki organization has been greatly weakened, Mizuki has completely lost the intelligence advantage of the God's perspective. Next, he will have to use his expertise in other areas to find out the enemy's strengths and weaknesses.

Shuimu is like an evil guest who is ready to tamper with the world beyond recognition. It is obviously easier to change a person's thoughts.

In the past, it was simply because there was no need to do so. If the key figures were controlled, a chain reaction might occur, affecting the final development. The dispensable extras were not worth Shuimu's effort at all.

And Kakuzu is just the right person.

…

The highest tower in the Rain Country was originally the shelter of Nagato and Konan, but now it has become Mizuki's base.

Under the layers of barrier defense, the fragments of the outer demon statue that sealed Xishenxiang have completely changed their appearance.

As the carrier of Shuimu's obsession and faith, the image of the butterfly of rebirth embodied in Xishuixiang is no longer just attached to the fragments of the heretic demon statue.

"Reverse engulfment. I didn't expect that something that was possible in theory would actually happen."

Especially after the shock tonight, the movements in Xishuixiang became even more intense.

"The power of faith is indeed omnipotent!"

Xishui Township itself is just the embodiment of obsession created by Shuimu. Without a container, if it wants to grow stronger, it can only rely on the nourishment of the spiritual network established by Shuimu and his clones. However, at this growth rate, it is impossible to catch up with the final battle.

Therefore, a place is needed that can protect the opera and allow it to grow and develop.

The fragments of the Outer Path Golem that Mizuki had taken great pains to save were the best carrier.

The obsession to protect Xishuixiang does not collapse, and at the same time it can absorb chakra and the power of faith to provide excellent assistance for the growth of Xishuixiang. Now, it has finally been completely integrated.

It's like a young sapling. At the beginning of its growth, it can't withstand the wind and rain at all. Shuimu installed a support and restraining ring for it to allow it to stand firm.

These peripherals, which are still alive but can no longer grow, are gradually wrapped up by the gradually growing and strengthening trunk and completely become an integral part of the sapling.

"So, we really created a 'god'?"

Looking at the Xishui Township that was constantly releasing strange power, in Shuimu's perception, obsession was flapping its wings slightly, like the pulsation of a heart, and the circles of faith links wrapped around it were like blood vessels transporting nutrients. A complete belief system of gods was formed in this way.

"Is the evil god created in the same way? And the death god created by the Uzumaki family, are they all similar?"

For a moment, Shuimu couldn't help but be dazed. The others didn't have Shuimu's conditions and couldn't get the fragments of the Outer Path Golem.

But can’t it be done without it?

Definitely not. Even with the attainments in water and wood sealing techniques and spiritual secret techniques, one can create something similar if given enough time. However, if one does it alone, it will take too much time and energy, and sufficient resources will also be a big obstacle.

Having the fragments of the Outer Statue only saved Shuimu a lot of energy.

"The mythical era is so close to us!"

Maybe somewhere, there is a brilliant guy doing the same thing, and the last one that Mizuki clearly knew had failed was Orochimaru, who temporarily retired.

The Sleeping Town created by Mizuki is just a step further than Orochimaru's Eight-Headed Technique.
