#118 - Dear Miko, you don't want to

"Didn't you hear what Miroku said? All of you, leave." The Daimyo of the Land of Demons waved his hand, wanting to hear what Miroku had to say.

Upon seeing this, Minato Namikaze and Yuki Minazuki had no choice but to pull Seiji and the others out with the guards.

As they left, they could still hear the Sand Village ninjas negotiating with the Daimyo of the Land of Demons.

"I wonder if the Daimyo is willing to cooperate with our Sand Village? The recent situation is becoming increasingly turbulent." Kikku, the Jonin leading the Sand Village team, said.

Most of the Land of Wind is desert, so it relies heavily on importing various resources.

However, with the current turbulent situation, they can no longer place their hopes on their ally, the Land of Fire, and need to prepare another way out.

Cooperation with these small countries is not bad; the small countries provide resources, and the Sand Village can provide some protection to the small countries during times of turmoil.

"You guys go down too; we'll talk about these things later." The Daimyo of the Land of Demons didn't want to listen to what Kikku had to say.

"Then we'll come to see you again tomorrow." Kikku glanced at the sky outside; it was already approaching dusk.

Soon, he hurriedly left with his teammates.

After dismissing everyone, the Daimyo spoke to the priestess, "Miroku, did you stay behind because you have something to say to me?"

"Have you… have you been in contact with Moryo?" Miroku bit her lip.

The seal will continue to be broken because there will never be a shortage of greedy people; there will always be an internal traitor.

The Daimyo of the Land of Demons' expression stiffened slightly, and he said, "Miroku, you have to believe me."

Hearing this, Miroku did not reply immediately.

They priestesses all possess the ability called 'Premonition of Death,' which allows them to foresee the deaths of people around them in rare cases.

And she saw scenes of some guards being killed by the ghost legion.

Moreover, she also saw the Daimyo's… figure.

She wanted to try again.

The union of the Daimyo of the Land of Demons and the priestess has always been a tradition, so she still has some good feelings for the Daimyo.

She wanted to persuade the Daimyo of the Land of Demons to turn back.

…………

Konoha and the Sand Village were arranged to be located separately, with Kiyoshi and the others located in a building in the southeast.

Kurenai Yuhi, Rin Nohara, and others who had come to another country for the first time were quite excited, the two girls appreciating the architectural style that was completely different from that of the village.

Especially Obito, who kept chattering non-stop along the way.

Asuma Sarutobi, unable to bear it any longer, told Obito to lower his voice.

The steady Kakashi was still the same as usual.

Minato Namikaze and Yuki Minazuki looked at each other, thinking about the scenes that had just happened in the main hall.

Being able to become a Jonin, they had already carried out many missions, and felt a trace of unease about this mission.

Will the Sand Village ninjas also come here?

You should know that this is a very taboo thing.

The hiring party generally only chooses one ninja village to hire, otherwise there will be hidden dangers of fighting each other.

Between ninja villages, in addition to alliances, there are also hostile situations.

This time it was only because they had an alliance treaty with Sand Village that they were safe and sound.

The eight people arrived at a room, and Minato Namikaze was not in a hurry to disband.

He was discussing with Yuki Minazuki about the attitude of Moryo, the priestess, and the Daimyo of the Land of Demons.

Obviously, they were protecting the noble priestess, but neither the Daimyo nor the priestess seemed to need them very much.

Then what is the purpose of arranging this problem?

Something must have happened in the middle.

At this time, Kiyoshi stood up and said, "Lord Minato, Teacher Minazuki, I once heard about the story of the Land of Demons in the Land of Lightning. It is said that the priestesses here have been sealing Moryo for hundreds or even thousands of years."

Minato Namikaze looked at Kiyoshi Uchiha. According to his usual observations, Kiyoshi was not the kind of person who would make baseless remarks, and wanted to see what Kiyoshi's insights were.

"Isn't this information everyone knows?" Yuki Minazuki said.

"Yes, Kiyoshi." Asuma Sarutobi also interjected at this time. He had heard the two leading Jonin talk about these things during the barbecue Q before.

"No, what I'm talking about is more secretive. In fact, Moryo is divided into two parts, the body and the soul. The soul is sealed in the Land of Demons, while the body is in the Land of Swamps."

Kiyoshi paused here, pointing to his eyes and said, "I just saw that the Daimyo's chakra was a little wrong. There was a suppressed and evil chakra there, and it was very large. The Daimyo is not a ninja and cannot possess such a chakra."

The Sharingan has the ability to see through the flow of human chakra, which everyone present knows.

Such a bloodline limit ability is the best persuasiveness.

At this moment, all seven people turned their attention to Kiyoshi.

Obito even felt a chill down his spine.

There really wouldn't be a ghost, would there?

Minato Namikaze immediately opened his mouth when he heard Kiyoshi say this: "Isn't it the priestess's duty to seal Moryo?"

This was not only Minato Namikaze's doubt, but also the doubt of the other seven people.

"That's right, but people are not plants, how can they be ruthless? The priestess and the Daimyo obviously have known each other for a long time, so it is normal for the priestess to have scruples."

Kiyoshi explained.

The original book specifically recalled this scene, the Daimyo and the priestess arguing.

That was when Shion was already born and still young.

The Daimyo, or rather Moryo in his body, believed that as long as he had the current power plus the priestess's power, the two combined would be enough to dominate the five great countries and control the entire world.

Of course, whether it can be done is another question.

On the big stage of the ninja world, there is no shortage of confident people. Almost every boss in the theatrical version believes that he has mastered a certain core technology or ability and can subvert the ninja world, such as Hiruko, Shinno, etc.

It can be said that they are not very smart. Fortunately, they appeared early, otherwise they would be honest if they fought in the Fourth Ninja World War.

"Familiar?"

"Yes, and Moryo has the ambition to rule the ninja world. He is likely to attack us or Sand Village and provoke conflicts."

Kiyoshi nodded.

The priestess and the Daimyo have been procrastinating for several years. Moryo wanted the priestess's technique, but didn't flip the table, and the priestess wanted to save the Daimyo and make him believe in humans, but didn't do anything to seal him. In the end, Moryo couldn't bear it anymore and flipped the table and stopped playing, and was finally sealed by the priestess at the cost of her life.

"Then how do we carry out the mission?" Obito's brain was about to burn out.

The mission they accepted was to protect the priestess, not to defeat Moryo.

This is completely beyond the scope of a C-level mission, right?

"Let's wait and see." Minato Namikaze said.

If Moryo really has such ambition, then he must seal it here.

Kushina privately taught him a lot of ninjutsu, and even sealing techniques like the 'Four Symbols Seal.' He has his own unique understanding and has improved it.

Just……

Minato Namikaze frowned. Killing the Daimyo is a serious crime. All the Daimyos in the entire ninja world will resist such a ninja. He can only try to separate Moryo from the Daimyo.

The group ate some dry food with worry and returned to the room arranged by the guards.

"Kiyoshi, is it really okay?" Kurenai Yuhi encountered complicated things the first time she came out to perform a mission, and she broke her filter for the outside world.

Looking at the increasingly tall Kiyoshi, Kurenai Yuhi inexplicably had a sense of dependence.

Because she had never seen Kiyoshi do something that he was not sure about.

"Of course it's okay, we can still run if it doesn't work out." Kiyoshi smiled.

"But at that time, I will definitely protect you." Kiyoshi lowered his head slightly and said to Kurenai Yuhi, who was shorter than him.

The hot breath hit Kurenai Yuhi's earlobe, causing her long and curled eyelashes to tremble slightly, and her face flushed all of a sudden.

No one had ever said such things to her.

"Don't… don't say things that are easy to be misunderstood." Kurenai Yuhi lowered her eyes and hurriedly ran back to her room, not daring to look directly at Kiyoshi.

Looking at the cute Kurenai Yuhi, Kiyoshi couldn't help but smile.

Who would have thought that the future Yuhi would be so innocent when she was a child?

After Kurenai Yuhi went in, Kiyoshi looked up at the distant green mountains and forests.

Moryo's power is a good thing. Coupled with 'Dark Medical Ninjutsu,' it can even achieve human body modification.

The ninjas under Yomi are implanted with a special gu worm made of Moryo's power.

After these gu worms adapt to the body, squeeze them out of the body, and swallowing the blood of the gu worms can greatly increase chakra.

But these will not only turn the person into a monster, but also be accompanied by great dependence, like an addict.

Kiyoshi naturally doesn't want to become like this.

What he wants to do is to remove the dross and take its essence. Through 'Dark Medical Ninjutsu,' he should be able to improve Kiyoshi's understanding of medical ninjutsu, so that he can withstand more Lightning Release chakra, so as to become stronger quickly.

Kiyoshi returned to his room and continued to guide the current in his body to strengthen his body.

There will be a fierce battle soon, and it is a point to improve one's strength as much as possible.

In the gradually darkening room, occasionally a trace of electric arc flashed, illuminating the room suddenly.

…………

Shrine.

After returning, the priestess sighed.

She still didn't convince the Daimyo.

After undressing, the priestess went to sleep.

In a daze, she had another dream.

This time the dream was clearer than before.

She dreamed of a fiery red flame fan back.

The human-shaped waist of the flame fan was hung with a scroll.

Miroku couldn't see the figure clearly, but felt familiar.

Instinctively, she wanted to ask who he was.

There were obviously many guards and ninjas outside fighting Moryo, but this weak man was hiding here.

Miroku wanted to take out the priestess's majesty to reprimand him, but she found that she couldn't speak.

This strange thing immediately made the priestess feel terrified.

And the man who couldn't see his figure also turned around.

She only felt two scarlet glows staring at her.

"Honorable Priestess, you don't want the citizens of the Land of Demons to be destroyed, do you?"

Miroku felt an ominous chakra.

That was a deeper existence than the power of Moryo outside.

It seemed to gather the evil of this world.

The incense burner in the room continued to burn fragrant herbs, making the place more elegant.

These herbs that help people to concentrate and relax seemed to have no effect at all.
