Chapter 119 The Shrine Maiden's Regret
"what!"
Maitreya suddenly opened her eyes in the darkness, her bitten cherry lips abruptly parted, and she let out a series of flustered gasps.
After catching her breath, she was still shaken by the nightmare she had just experienced.
"This is a 'prophecy of death'..."
Maitreya wiped the fine sweat from his forehead.
The prophecy cannot be changed; the only way is to stay away...
…………
late at night.
The residence of a daimyo.
"How much longer until we can conquer the five great nations?"
In the room where only the Daimyo of the Land of Demons was present, he suddenly spoke.
"Hehehe, can't wait any longer? Let's seize the Uchiha clan's bloodline limit first. Combined with my power, it can be transformed into a decent pawn, which will be helpful to our plan."
The old, hoarse voice of the demon emanated from the daimyo of the Land of Demons.
Ordinary people can become much stronger through modification, and the same is true for ninjas with bloodline limits; in fact, they become even stronger.
His ghost army is strong, but unfortunately the terracotta warriors inside are all dead things, not as comfortable as living people.
"Leave only two Uchiha, kill the other Konoha ninja, frame Sunagakure, and incite infighting among those ninja!"
The demons and monsters bewitch and entice.
They wanted to incite conflict between Sunagakure and Konoha.
"Such methods are too extreme."
The daimyo of the Land of Demons shook his head.
Although he was very arrogant.
But after only a short time of obtaining the power of the demons, the prestige of the great nation began to influence him.
It's fine to talk about it casually, but I'm still a little scared to actually do it.
At least a large ghost army is needed first; currently, only a few dozen terracotta warriors have been secretly awakened, which is far too few.
"Then let's poison it."
The demon spoke again.
"……good."
This time, the daimyo of the Land of Demons agreed to the demon's plan.
This way, they will have more time to develop gradually.
Upon seeing this, the demon let out a sinister laugh.
But that's not enough. He needs to gather the priestess's power and return it to his own body!
His ordinary human body couldn't withstand too much of his power and would age quickly.
Before long, the room fell silent again. A glint of light flashed in the daimyo's eyes. He called a guard and gave him his next instruction.
The guard's expression hardened upon hearing this, and he nodded in agreement.
…………
The next day.
The daimyo summoned the ninjas from Konoha and Sunagakure, inviting them to a gathering, and the shrine maiden was also present.
However, after listening to Kiyoshi's explanation yesterday evening, Minato Namikaze felt a bit like he was at a trap.
The witch won't harm them.
But it's uncertain whether a famous person could be bewitched by demons.
However, ninjas were not authorized to directly attack a daimyo or examine his body.
This will cause diplomatic problems, and no one will be able to take responsibility if something goes wrong.
In the very center of the main hall, the great man waved his hand and summoned his servants, who brought in chairs and tables, laden with precious delicacies.
"Please use it."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Kik raised his water glass, offered a toast to the great name from afar, then took a small sip and began to eat.
The daimyo of the Land of Demons nodded in satisfaction when he saw him begin to eat.
Just as he was about to check on the situation in Konoha, he suddenly noticed that the priestess had her brows furrowed.
"Miroku, what's wrong?"
The daimyo of the Land of Demons asked with concern.
Even though he was so ambitious that he wanted to conquer the five great nations with the demons, he still had his own tenderness in his heart.
The shrine maiden is the most sacred and great woman in the land of demons.
The priestesses of each generation have been saving the land of demons, just like the goddesses who descended from the heavens.
Few in the Land of Demons can resist this aura.
Especially a man of high rank and power like Daming, who has seen through the vulgarity of women.
They yearn even more for the ethereal and sacred nature of shrine maidens.
"No...it's nothing."
Miroku shook his head, his beautiful purple eyes scanning the ninjas present.
Soon, Maitreya identified the person he had dreamed about the previous night.
Only two people present possessed the Flame Fan Clan crest: Obito and Kiyoshi.
After narrowing down the search area, only Kiyoshi had a scroll-like object hanging from his waist.
The person mentioned in last night's "prophecy of death" is very likely Kiyoshi.
However, she did not see Kiyoshi die; it was just that so many people died outside that Kiyoshi happened to appear in her dream as well.
"That Uchiha is...?"
Suddenly, Maitreya asked about Kiyoshi's name.
"He is Uchiha Kiyoshi, my subordinate."
"Minazuki Yuuki quickly replied."
Having many ninjas only brings benefits and no harm when dealing with a daimyo.
Once you've memorized their names, they might specifically ask someone to take on a task.
He believed what Kiyoshi said yesterday, but the daimyo of the Land of Demons might not necessarily be bewitched by demons.
Even if he was bewitched, he still had the powerful Jonin Minato by his side, who was proficient in sealing techniques.
"I see."
Maitreya nodded slightly.
She sat at the table with Daimyo.
The other ninjas were at two other tables, surrounded by guards responsible for their safety.
"etc."
Kiyoshi grabbed Kurenai's small hand, stopping her from picking up the water glass to drink.
"Kiyo... Kiyoshi, what are you doing?"
Kurenai's voice was very soft; she was completely stunned.
Kiyoshi actually held her hand in public?
Sarutobi Asuma, who was standing to the side, was grinding his back teeth so hard he almost broke them. He quickly asked Kiyoshi what he was doing.
"Your Highness, something's not right here."
Kiyoshi's dark eyes had somehow transformed into Sharingan.
By channeling a large amount of ocular power into the Sharingan, its perception can be enhanced to the limit, allowing one to clearly see floating objects about one-eighth the size of a hair.
The floating object is very transparent and difficult to see. Even if an ordinary person could see it, they would think it was an impurity in the spring water.
Kiyoshi had studied "poison" under the pharmacist Nono and was able to identify this toxin.
These words immediately created a tense atmosphere.
Kiku from Sunagakure nearly popped his eyes out, staring at the water glass he had already taken a sip from, unsure whether to put it down or induce vomiting immediately.
Kiyoshi immediately activated his Sharingan genjutsu on the guard behind Yomi who was responsible for arranging these items.
Caught off guard, the ninja was immediately controlled by genjutsu. Kiyoshi made him drink the poisoned cup that Kurenai Yuhi hadn't drunk from.
Then, a faint green light appeared at Qing Si's fingertips and touched the guard's abdomen.
This is a D-rank medical ninjutsu that uses medical chakra to accelerate digestion in a patient's stomach.
It was also a ninjutsu that the pharmacist Nono taught Kiyoshi to prevent patients from not having enough time to digest the medicine.
The next moment, the guard foamed at the mouth, turned pale, and his lips turned black before collapsing to the ground.
Both the Konoha ninja and the Sunagakure ninja were taken aback by this scene.
Kiyoshi clearly used medical ninjutsu, so how could he look like he's been poisoned like this!
"Wraith, you've already possessed the Daimyo's body, haven't you?"
Kiyoshi spoke.
In the original work, the demon was the same kind that Naruto defeated with a single Giant Rasengan.
It's just that his immortality makes him very difficult to deal with.
If Kiyoshi can't win, he can run away at any time, not to mention Minato Namikaze who is present.
You can just take them with you and run away.
Maitreya's expression changed slightly, and just as he was about to say something, an old and hoarse voice came from the hall.
"We should have used a tough approach from the beginning."
A purplish-black chakra enveloped the Daimyo of the Land of Demons, much like a Jinchuriki entering Tailed Beast form.
The chakra that emanated from it was like a mist, sending chills down one's spine.
Are you really going to remain so stubbornly ignorant?
After a brief moment of confusion, Miroku immediately rebuked the daimyo of the Land of Demons.
In her heart, the scales had already tipped in favor of the people of the Land of Demons.
Sealing away demons is the duty of priestesses throughout history. If the daimyo of the Land of Demons remains obstinate, she has no choice but to set aside her personal feelings and carry out the sealing!
"Miroku, why do you disagree with what I'm saying?"
His own voice emanated from the daimyo shrouded in purplish-black mist.
"With the power of the demons, plus your magic, ruling this world will be a piece of cake!"
boom!
Thick black fog, like a burst dam, instantly engulfed the entire hall. Countless purplish-black tentacles emerged from the fog, sticky and twisted, vaguely outlining the ferocious shape of a dragon.
As the roars of the demons echoed, the foundations around the palace trembled violently, the walls cracked, and the beams and pillars collapsed.
"The Daimyo... the Daimyo has been possessed by a demon!"
The guards stared wide-eyed in terror, their bodies stiff, barely managing to suppress their fear as they stood guard before the priestess.
"Minato-sensei, let's go."
Kakashi frowned and drew his short sword.
Their mission is to protect the priestess; since there really are such things as demons, they must also ensure the priestess's safety.
A ninja who cannot complete a mission is ultimately just a piece of trash.
"Be careful."
Minato Namikaze's expression was solemn. He took out several specially made kunai from his ninja tool bag and quickly threw them at several people.
This makes him more mobile, allowing him to teleport using space-time ninjutsu at will on these specially marked points on kunai.
Kurenai Yuhi and Rin Nohara stood up and quickly assumed fighting stances.
Sarutobi Asuma drew his chakra blade, while Obito carried a black pot in one hand and a kunai in the other, immediately lowering his goggles to protect his eyes.
Kiyoshi, on the other hand, summons a ninja sword.
We need to force the demons to come out.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to protect Maitreya until she gave birth.
By the time she gives birth, the Third Shinobi World War will almost be over!
Looking at the enormous demon, a sense of pressure instinctively enveloped Kiyoshi.
Kiyoshi's Sharingan eyes spun rapidly, having already unleashed their full power.
Kiyoshi has never truly exerted his full strength.
He defeated Yekura by exploiting an information gap, which prevented Yekura from fully utilizing her advantage, the "Burning" Release.
Now that Yekura knows his physical skills are very strong, she will definitely be more cautious next time she faces him.
Only when fighting Mei Terumi can one be manipulated at will.
Gradually, Kiyoshi felt a sense of excitement.
Suddenly, Kiyoshi could feel his eyes twitching.
This is a sign that the pupil's power is rippling.
"Is that so?"
The Sharingan is a reflection of the deepest part of the human heart.
Kiyoshi understood.
This was not because he was bloodthirsty, but rather an emotional outpouring.
Just as "tasting good things" witnesses the fall of beauty.
Kiyoshi's long-standing unease made him want to flatten everything.
When he was born, his father passed away, and Kiyoshi could only survive by relying on the occasional care of his neighbors and his adult knowledge.
Even after arriving in Konoha, nothing had fundamentally changed.
The future Third Shinobi World War, the Nine-Tails' rampage, and the Uchiha clan's massacre remain pressing issues that need to be addressed.
If you're not careful, you'll end up as a corpse.
Even if he returns to the Land of Lightning, he will only become a breeding pig due to his insufficient strength.
"There is already a way to die."
Kiyoshi gently touched his eyes.
That makes things easier from here on out.
The second method to quickly improve pupil power.
The only method is...
Whoosh!
A crackling electric arc appeared beneath Kiyoshi's feet as he charged forward.
In any case, to become a true strongman, one must have the heart of a strongman and rich combat experience.
Even someone as powerful as Kaguya Otsutsuki, without proper combat experience, could only rely on a surprise attack to severely injure Isshiki Otsutsuki.
When they encountered Naruto and Sasuke in their six paths, their secret was exposed, and Black Zetsu had to act as their strategist.
Nouveau riche who only squander chakra will never be able to unleash its true power.
The scene became incredibly chaotic at that moment.
After the appearance of the demon, several long, black maggot-like worms crawled out of Huang Quan's body and entered the bodies of the ninjas in the Land of Demons.
Their eyes flashed with a ghostly color, and then their entire eyeballs, including the whites of their eyes, turned pitch black.
The skin turned dark purple, and many strange patterns appeared on the surface of the skin.
Seeing the ninjas from the Land of Demons, with whom they usually got along well, suddenly transform into monsters in the blink of an eye, this illogical scene filled the guards with even greater fear.
If it weren't for the priestess guarding them, but other officials instead, they probably would have already turned tail and run!
Even the four Sand Village ninjas could not avoid this chaotic situation and were forced to get involved.
They all used their preferred ninjutsu to attack the tentacles that the demon had extended and the group of ninjas.
Kakashi's short sword swiftly severed the tentacles of the demon, but each cut resulted in rapid regeneration.
Upon seeing this, Kakashi unleashed a C-rank Lightning Release ninjutsu, interrupting the horde of tentacles that were surrounding him.
Mizuki Yuuki unfortunately became the first target of the Oni Country ninja's siege, clearly their intention was to defeat him one by one.
Kiyoshi, who was fighting the demons nearby, saw this scene and instead of saving Mizuki Yuuki, he revealed a sinister smile.
Didn't he seize the opportunity?
That old man is always annoyed with him, does he really think that Qing Si has no temper?
Kiyoshi only repays malice with malice!
Crack!
A faint layer of tiny electric arcs appeared on Kiyoshi's body, further enhancing his mobility and reflexes.
Flames erupted from the ninja sword in his hand as he continued his battle with the demon.
Occasionally, if he accidentally gets injured, the white snake inside the robe will extend its tongue and gently lick Qing Si's wound. Soon, a faint pale green light will appear, slowly repairing the wound.
The priestess watched the chaotic dance of demons and the ever-expanding wraiths for a long time in silence.
When the demon went out, many guards died trying to protect him. They were either killed by the demon or by the ninjas who were loyal to the daimyo of the Land of Demons.
Further away, innocent guards were crushed into a pile of dust by the collapsing building!
The priestess felt a pang of regret.
If she had known, she would have sealed the demon directly.
Unfortunately, it's too late for regrets now; all she can do is try her best to make up for her mistakes.
Qing Si watched Maitreya from behind, knowing that the time was ripe!
