Mizuki's answer made Xiwang frown, but after thinking about it, he didn't ask any further.

It's not because he's not interested, but because he's in a suspicious place. If there's anyone who has the best chance of doing something, it would be the physical clone of the Jinchūriki of "Xisui Township" - Hope is the most suspicious.

Of course, other physical clones linked to the Sleeping Town are not completely reliable.

Although it was not that Shuimu's real body really began to fear the physical clone at this time, there are some things that cannot be decided entirely by one's own thoughts.

Just like Tsunade, she did not tell Mizuki about Uchiha Sasuke's secret technique that could greatly restrain Mizuki's killer move, and she did not really intend to do anything to Mizuki.

Absolute power will eliminate all constraints, and the development of all things in the world will depend entirely on the thoughts of the strongest person.

Just like Kaguya Otsutsuki, after eating the fruit of the sacred tree, she can play with the ninja world in the palm of her hand. If it weren't for Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura who inherited her power, this world would simply be Kaguya Otsutsuki's plaything.

Mizuki is not yet that powerful, but in Konoha Village, Mizuki is almost there. Although he has not reached the point where he can get whatever he wants, his destructive power alone is truly terrifying.

If he turns against Mizuki, the powerful Lava Release Thousand Orders can destroy Konoha Village without a doubt.

The life and death of the strongest ninja village in the ninja world depends on Mizuki's thoughts.

It’s not that Konoha Village has no ability to resist. When the Fifth Hokage Tsunade activated the Hundred Healings Seal, her temporary immortality and super destructive power were definitely not something Mizuki could easily resist.

Jiraiya's Sage Mode, plus the Sage Shima and Sage Fukasaku, the combined power of the three sages is so great that no one in the ninja world can easily cope with it.

There is also the secret technique possessed by Kakashi Hatake's Mangekyō Sharingan - Kamui, a space-time ninjutsu attack that can break through all defenses and directly tear the enemy into pieces.

However, no matter whether it is Fire Style or Melt Style, Thousand Conquests are all map cannons. Once Shuimu attacks first, the enemy will have no ability to fight back. The extremely high temperature makes it difficult for people to get close. Such a moving natural disaster makes it impossible for people to fight back. This is the most despairing thing. Unless you have an immortal body or the ability to fly, you can stop Shuimu.

Therefore, when Mizuki decided to start destruction regardless of everything, Konoha Village would definitely be razed to the ground without hope.

Not only that, what made Tsunade even more uneasy was that Mizuki's ability in sealing and barrier techniques was truly terrifying.

For a particularly specialized category of ninjutsu like this, it's understandable if it's a little bit stronger, but if it's so strong that no one else can understand it, it's too daunting.

Apart from Mizuki, only his direct disciple Haruno Sakura has some understanding of Mizuki's theoretical system, but compared with Mizuki's profound knowledge, she is not on the same level at all.

In the entire Konoha, any barrier that is slightly important is basically arranged or designed by Mizuki.

Except for very few places, there are basically no secrets for Shuimu.

This was unacceptable to Tsunade, the fifth Hokage.

And other Konoha ninjas would not want to be under surveillance all the time.

Regardless of personal opinions and feelings, the fact that the butt decides the head will happen everywhere.

Similarly, at this time, it is not appropriate for Hope to inquire about things that only Mizuki knows.

"Well, I can only hope that your back-up plan will be useful."

"I hope these methods won't be used!"

Shuimu shrugged. If it really came to that time, it would mean that the situation had become so bad that it could not be reversed. For Shuimu, it would just be a matter of cutting the loss in time.

"Let's not talk about that for now. What happened to Kakuzu's soul now?"

Hope shook her head.

"Not very good. He was already shattered by Xishuixiang, and was killed by Uchiha Sasuke's Butsu-myouhun. His original soul was even more annihilated. In addition, he was tricked by Hei Zetsu. Even if he was directly resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation, he might just be an idiot without any consciousness."

"Then it's worthless."

Mizuki was a little disappointed.

"Is there any way to use it? We took such a big risk to integrate the omnipotence of the God of Death, not just to create a refuge for souls."

“There is no way!”

Hope dispelled Shuimu's last hope.

"To bring the dead back to life, it would take more than just a created fake 'God of Death'. Moreover, what we have in our hands is only a portion of the omnipotence of this 'false god'."

"After all, Xishuixiang is not a complete world yet. It just realizes some functions according to my idea within the scope of my power."

"How can we establish a reincarnation function? Otherwise, what we did before was a bit of a failure. We spent so much effort to capture the Grim Reaper, but we failed to achieve the ultimate goal!"

This difficult question left Shuimu at a loss for an answer. He thought for a while before answering.

"Let me think about it. If that doesn't work, I can only seek help from outside forces. I used to think that the God of Death was enough, but it seems that a 'false god' cannot support the death rules of a world."

"Isn't this natural? If the God of Death is really that powerful, how could the Ninja World remain indifferent? The Sage of Six Paths will definitely come to 'recruit' this thief who stole the soul resources of the Ninja World."

"Then that's it!"

The main purpose of coming to the Rain Country has been achieved, so there is no need for Mizuki to stay here any longer. Some things must be dealt with in Konoha Village. If he does not show up, Tsunade and others may think that he has left in anger or defected.

Although Shuimu didn't have such an idea, he couldn't guarantee what others would think.

There have been some rifts with the village, but this is not very serious. It is just that the strong people are testing each other and then finding their own positions.

…

In the Land of Frost, Kabuto Yakushi withdrew his hand from the Impure World Reincarnation.

"Unfortunately, it looks like it failed."

After discussing with Uchiha Obito, Black Zetsu brought back the fragments of Kakuzu's body and handed them over to Kabuto Yakushi.

An S-rank rebel ninja is a rare fighting force. If he can exert the combined strength of Uchiha Sasuke who possesses the eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi before his death, he might be able to tie down the fighting power of one or two Kages. This is definitely an indispensable force.

"Failure? How is that possible?"

Black Zetsu said incredulously.

"Doesn't it mean that as long as the cells are correct and not contaminated, there won't be any problems?"

Pharmacist Kabuto smiled.

"Of course, but there are some exceptions..."

"for example?"

"If the soul is not in the Pure Land, Impure World Reincarnation will naturally not work!"

"Soul? Pure Land?"

Uchiha Obito frowned.

"There seem to be only a handful of people in the ninja world who can achieve this level!"

In fact, there are not just a handful of them. Now that Orochimaru is dead, there is only one person who can touch the soul realm, except for the Mangekyō Sharingan and the Rinnegan.

"It looks like it was the work of an old friend. No wonder Kakuzu suddenly became so strong!"

"If it really is Mizuki again, then has our intelligence been leaked?"

If you are not careful, the allies you once trusted may become the enemy's insiders, which is really frustrating.
