Chapter 58 The Dead

"Mother, I dreamed of that monster again."

As the tender, crying voice of a child rang out, everyone's eyes were focused on the inner door. As their sight shifted, a fair and lovely little girl appeared in their field of vision.

The little girl ran towards Hiiragi Kagami, looking up with tears in her eyes, "Mother, can't we destroy that monster?"

Hiiragi nodded to them apologetically, then squatted down and half-knelt to hold the little girl in her arms, saying gently, "Don't worry, Tong, you won't dream about it soon. Mom has invited a powerful ninja, so Tong just needs to be patient for a while, and everything will be settled soon."

Only then did Tong raise her head with sobs, but when her eyes met the strange ninjas in the room, her whole body suddenly froze. Her small hands with dimples tightly grasped Hiiragi Kagami's clothes, and her tear-stained face gradually became expressionless.

Noticing that his daughter had calmed down (?), Hiiragi Kagami raised his head and looked at the two tribes that were clearly separated on the left and right in front of her. "If possible, I would like to start the mission immediately. Do you need to adjust your status now?"

But this time, the ninjas from the three tribes were all silent. After a long while, Senju Baimo couldn't help scratching his ears and said, "Um, Lady Miko, if I understand correctly, do you want the six of us to do the mission together?"

"Yes, because the monsters and goblins have a great impact on our lineage, so I want to resolve it as soon as possible."

Hiiragi Jing noticed the uncomfortable expressions of the few people and lowered her head slightly, "I know that you have irreconcilable conflicts, so I want to split into two teams, one team will follow me to seal the monsters, and the other team will stay to protect my daughter.

Because witches have been fighting against monsters for generations, when the seal of monsters loosens, young witches who have not yet mastered their magic power will be very susceptible to the influence of monsters, and may even be controlled by monsters. "

"The Uchiha, Uzumaki and Senju are on a mission together..." Uchiha Hiro's mouth twitched, "If this gets out, everyone will be scared to death."

And Senju Shelin, who always retorted to every word of Uchiha, fell silent at this time - there was really no point in refuting this sentence.

After an awkward silence for a moment, Ling sighed and said, "Then it's all up to Her Highness the Witch to decide."

"As long as there's no Uchiha stabbing us in the back, we, the Senju and Uzumaki, will be fine."

"Then I'll ask you to take care of me," Hiiragi smiled and reached out to wipe the tears off her daughter's face. "Hitomi, these two Uchiha ninjas will protect you for the next few days. They are very powerful and will protect you well. Mom will also seal it back as soon as possible, so don't worry about the dream anymore, okay?"

"Hmm..." Tong looked up at Ling and Uchiha Hong, and then looked at Senju and Uzumaki standing on the side, and then spoke in a very, very, very weak voice, "I understand."

Hiiragi Kagami smiled and stood up, taking his daughter's hand, "Please follow me."

"Humph, you Uchiha just stay behind us. It's really a relief for you to have such an easy time this time."

Uchiha Hong looked up at Senju Shelin with a playful expression, "Who do you think is responsible for our ease?"

"you--"

"Okay, Hong, stop teasing him," Ling said helplessly, "There aren't many Senju who are so devoted to us Uchiha and always have a consistent attitude. Besides, they are really working for us for nothing this time... They are really pathetic."

Uchiha Hong sneered again, "Yeah, it's really pitiful, he was crying and making a fuss because he wanted to kill us, but in the end he ended up losing more than he gained and had to work for us.

Our two tribes have been at war for so many years, and there aren't many idiots like him who are so obviously hostile yet always give benefits to the enemy - I find it adorable that he works so hard but gets no reward."

Senju Shelin: ...He's going to kill this Uchiha Hiro no matter what today!

Uzumaki Osamu immediately reached out to hold back Senju Shelin who was about to rush forward, "Don't get excited! Mission priority, mission priority! How can a mere Uchiha be as important as the mission of a miko? Calm down!"

——Even if you are not afraid of making enemies with the Kingdom of Demons, if you want to take action, at least wait until the priestess is not around!

Hiiragi Jing noticed this scene and couldn't help but raise her hand to support her forehead, "It's my fault... Hotaru, you should take the Uchiha ninja and Hitomi to the inner room first."

As soon as Hiiragi Jing finished speaking, a thin figure appeared behind her, and his voice was cold and respectful, "Yes, Master Hiiragi Jing, Your Highness Tong, please come to me."

But Tong did not walk over as he said. Her small hands tightly clasped Hiiragi Kagami's fingers, and she looked up at Hiiragi Kagami calmly. But if you look closely, you can see that underneath Tong's calm appearance, she was so panicked that she didn't know what to do.

Seeing this, Hiiragi Kagami felt helpless, "Doesn't Hitomi recognize Hotaru? Or are you unfamiliar with the ninja-sama? Don't worry, they will all protect you."

Upon hearing this, Ying also took a step forward, half-knelt down, and opened her arms to Tong, "Your Highness Tong, please come to me. Master Kagami has to go prepare for the exorcism, and he will be very busy next."

But Tong just pursed her lips, and after a moment she turned her head to look at Ling and Uchiha Hong, her voice was particularly weak, "But, but... one of them died?"

As soon as Tong finished speaking, Hiiragi Kagami's expression changed, and Uchiha Hiroya frowned, but before he could say anything, he was stopped by Ling. Ling also turned to Tong and asked, "Excuse me, what did the dead person look like when you saw him?"

Tong lowered her head and spoke in a weaker voice, "He was a man with terrible wounds on both eyes, covered in blood and buried in the rubble..."

"Well, then what you saw should be my past," Ling chuckled, and could even be said to be slightly relieved, "I did almost die that time, you are very accurate."
