#119 - Miko's Regret
"Ah!"
Miroku suddenly opened her eyes in the darkness, her bitten cherry lips suddenly parted, and she let out a series of panicked breaths.
After a long period of heavy breathing, the nightmare she had just experienced still left her terrified.
"This is the 'Prophecy of Death'…"
Miroku wiped the fine sweat from her forehead.
Prophecies cannot be changed; the only way is to stay away…
…
Late at night.
The Daimyo's residence.
"How long will it take to conquer the Five Great Nations?"
In the room, with only the Daimyo of the Land of Demons present, he suddenly spoke.
"Hehehe, can't hold back any longer? First, seize the Uchiha clan's bloodline limit. Combined with my power, they can be modified into excellent pawns, which will help our plan."
Moryo's old, hoarse voice came from within the Daimyo of the Land of Demons.
Ordinary people can become significantly stronger after being modified, and the same goes for ninjas with bloodline limits, and they will become even stronger.
His Ghost Legion is strong, but unfortunately, the terracotta soldiers inside are all dead objects, not as convenient as living people.
"Leave only two Uchiha, kill the other Konoha ninjas, and frame the Sand Village, let this group of ninjas fight among themselves!"
Moryo蛊惑道.
He wanted to provoke conflict between the Sand Village and Konoha.
"Such methods are too drastic."
The Daimyo of the Land of Demons shook his head.
Although he was very arrogant.
But ultimately, he had only obtained Moryo's power recently, and the reputation of the great nations had an impact on him at his core.
Talking big was fine, but actually doing it was a bit daunting.
At least he needed a large Ghost Legion first. The terracotta soldiers he had secretly awakened were only a few dozen, which was far too few.
"Then let's use poison."
Moryo issued the suggestion again.
"…Alright."
This time, the Daimyo of the Land of Demons agreed to Moryo's plan.
That way, they would have more time to develop slowly.
Seeing this, Moryo let out a sinister laugh.
But it wasn't enough for now. He needed to collect the power of the priestess and return to his own body!
This ordinary human body couldn't withstand too much of his power and would age quickly.
Before long, the room returned to silence. A glint flashed in the Daimyo's eyes, and he called for a guard, instructing him on the next matter.
The guard's expression turned stern upon hearing this, and he nodded in agreement.
…
The next day.
The Daimyo summoned the ninjas from Konoha and Sand Village, inviting them to a gathering, and the priestess was also present.
However, after listening to Kiyoshi's explanation yesterday evening, Minato Namikaze had a feeling that this was a "Hongmen Banquet".
The priestess would not harm them.
But the Daimyo, who might be bewitched by Moryo, was not certain.
However, the ninjas were not qualified to directly attack the Daimyo or examine his body.
This would cause diplomatic problems, and no one could take responsibility if something happened.
In the very center of the hall, the Daimyo waved his hand, summoning servants to bring in chairs and tables, and they were filled with precious delicacies.
"Please, help yourselves."
"Thank you, Lord Daimyo."
Kikku raised his glass, gave a toast to the Daimyo, then took a shallow sip and began to dine.
Seeing him start to eat, the Daimyo of the Land of Demons nodded in satisfaction.
Just as he was about to check on the situation on Konoha's side, he suddenly noticed that the priestess was frowning today.
"Miroku, what's wrong?"
The Daimyo of the Land of Demons asked with concern.
Even if his ambition was great, wanting to conquer the Five Great Nations with Moryo, he still had his own tenderness in his heart.
The priestess was the most sacred and greatest woman in the Land of Demons.
Every generation of priestesses had been saving the Land of Demons, just like goddesses descended from the heavens.
This aura, in the Land of Demons, few people could resist.
Especially men like the Daimyo, who were in high positions of power and had seen through the superficial beauties.
They were even more longing for the ethereal and sacred priestess.
"No… It's nothing."
Miroku shook her head, her beautiful purple eyes scanning the ninjas present.
Soon, Miroku locked onto the person she had dreamed of last night.
There were only two people with the Uchiha clan crest present, Obito and Kiyoshi.
After narrowing down the scope, only Kiyoshi had something like a scroll hanging on his waist.
The person in last night's "Prophecy of Death" was likely Kiyoshi.
However, she did not see Kiyoshi die, but too many people died outside, which happened to make Kiyoshi appear in the dream.
"That Uchiha is…"
Miroku suddenly asked for Kiyoshi's name.
"He is Uchiha Kiyoshi, my subordinate."
Minazuki Yuki quickly said.
Having more ninjas in front of the Daimyo was only beneficial and not harmful.
Once the Daimyo became familiar with them, he might ask for someone by name to take on a mission.
He believed what Kiyoshi said yesterday, but the Daimyo of the Land of Demons might not be bewitched by Moryo.
Even if he was bewitched, there was Minato-sensei, a strong ninja proficient in sealing techniques, by his side.
"I see."
Miroku nodded slightly.
She was sitting at the same table as the Daimyo.
The other ninjas were at two other tables, surrounded by guards responsible for security.
"Wait."
Kiyoshi grabbed Yuhi Kurenai's small hand, stopping her from picking up her glass to drink.
"Ki… Kiyoshi, what are you doing?"
Yuhi Kurenai's voice was very small, and she was completely stunned.
Kiyoshi actually held her hand in public?
Sarutobi Asuma, who was beside her, almost crushed his back teeth and quickly asked Kiyoshi what he was doing.
"Lord Daimyo, there's something wrong with this."
Kiyoshi's dark eyes turned into Sharingan at some point.
As long as a large amount of pupil power was poured into the Sharingan, the Sharingan's insight could be maximized, clearly seeing floating objects about one-eighth the size of a hair inside.
This floating object was very transparent and difficult to see clearly. Even if ordinary people saw it clearly, they would think it was impurities in the spring water.
Kiyoshi had learned "poison" from Yakushi Nonou and recognized this toxin.
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Suna's Kikku almost popped his eyes out, looking at the glass he had already taken a sip from, not knowing whether to put it down or immediately induce vomiting.
Kiyoshi directly activated the Sharingan genjutsu on the guard behind Huang Quan who was responsible for putting these things out.
Caught off guard, the ninja was immediately controlled by the genjutsu. Kiyoshi controlled him to drink the poisonous water in Yuhi Kurenai's untouched glass.
Then Kiyoshi's fingertips showed a faint green light and tapped on the guard's abdomen.
This was a D-level medical ninjutsu that could use medical chakra to make the patient's stomach digest quickly.
It was also a ninjutsu Yakushi Nonou taught Kiyoshi to prevent patients from not being able to digest medicine in time.
The next moment, the guard foamed at the mouth, his face turned pale, his lips turned black, and he fell straight down.
Whether it was the Konoha ninjas or the Suna ninjas, they were all startled by this scene.
Kiyoshi was clearly using medical ninjutsu, how could he have such a poisoned appearance!
"Moryo, you have already possessed the Daimyo's body."
Kiyoshi said.
The Moryo in the original work was just a character that Naruto solved with a Big Ball Rasengan.
It was just the immortal and indestructible nature that made him difficult to deal with.
If he couldn't beat him, Kiyoshi could run away at any time, not to mention Minato Namikaze, who was present.
He could directly take them all away.
Miroku's expression changed slightly. Just as she was about to say something, an old and hoarse voice appeared in the hall.
"I should have used tough methods from the beginning."
A purple-black chakra enveloped the Daimyo of the Land of Demons, just like a jinchuriki entering tailed beast mode.
These chakras that escaped out were like a mist, making people feel chills.
"Are you really going to be obsessed?"
After a brief trance, Miroku immediately rebuked the Daimyo of the Land of Demons.
In her heart, the balance had already tilted towards the people of the Land of Demons.
Sealing Moryo was the duty of every generation of priestesses. If the Daimyo of the Land of Demons was obsessed, she could only put down her personal feelings and seal him!
"Miroku, why don't you agree with what I said?"
From the Daimyo, who was wrapped in purple-black mist, came his own voice.
"With Moryo's power, plus your technique, ruling this world will be easy!"
Boom!
The thick black mist instantly devoured the entire hall like a flood breaking its banks. Countless purple-black tentacles drilled out of the mist, slimy and twisted, vaguely outlining a hideous dragon-shaped outline.
As Moryo's roar echoed, the foundation around the palace trembled violently, the walls cracked, and the pillars collapsed.
"The Daimyo… the Daimyo is possessed by Moryo!"
The guards widened their horrified eyes, their bodies stiff, barely suppressing the fear in their hearts, and guarded the priestess.
"Minato-sensei, let's go."
Kakashi frowned and pulled out his short sword.
Their mission was to protect the priestess. Since there was really a so-called Moryo, they also had to ensure the priestess's safety.
A ninja who cannot complete the mission is ultimately trash.
"Be careful."
Minato Namikaze's expression was solemn. He took out several special kunai from his ninja pouch and quickly threw them towards several places.
This way, his mobility would be stronger, and he could freely teleport to the points marked by these special kunai using space-time ninjutsu.
Yuhi Kurenai and Nohara Rin stood up and quickly made a fighting stance.
Sarutobi Asuma took out his chakra blade, Obito carried the black pot on one shoulder and held a kunai in the other, and immediately put down his goggles to protect his eyes.
Kiyoshi summoned his ninja sword.
He had to force Moryo out.
Otherwise, they would not be able to protect Miroku until she gave birth.
By the time she gave birth, the Third Ninja World War would be almost over!
Looking at the huge Moryo, a pressure on the giant instinctively covered Kiyoshi.
The Sharingan in Kiyoshi's eyes rotated rapidly, and he had already exerted his pupil power to the limit.
All along, Kiyoshi had never really gone all out.
He defeated Yekura, also used information asymmetry, causing Yekura not to be able to exert her advantage "Scorch" escape.
Now that Yekura knew that his taijutsu was very strong, he would definitely guard against it next time.
Only beating Terumi Mei was easy to handle.
Gradually, Kiyoshi felt a sense of excitement in his heart.
Suddenly, Kiyoshi could feel his eyes throbbing.
This was a sign of pupil power rippling.
"So that's how it is?"
The Sharingan is a reflection of the deepest part of the human heart.
Kiyoshi understood.
This was not that he was bloodthirsty, but a kind of emotional release.
Just like "tasting beautiful things" witnessing the fall of beauty.
The long-term sense of unease made Kiyoshi want to level everything.
When he was born, his father left, and Kiyoshi could only rely on the occasional care of the neighbors, plus the knowledge of an adult to barely survive.
When he arrived in Konoha, this essentially did not change much.
The Third Ninja World War in the future, the night of the Nine-Tailed Riot Uchiha's extermination, were still problems to be solved.
A little carelessness would turn him into a corpse.
Even if he returned to the Land of Lightning, he would only become a breeding pig if his strength was insufficient.
"There is already a way to die."
Kiyoshi gently stroked his eye sockets.
Then it would be easy to handle.
The second way to quickly improve pupil power.
The only way is…
Whoosh!
A trace of electric arc appeared under Kiyoshi's feet, and he rushed out first.
In any case, if you want to become a real powerhouse, you must have a powerhouse's heart and have rich combat experience.
As strong as Otsutsuki Kaguya, without suitable combat experience, he could only rely on unexpected sneak attacks to seriously injure Otsutsuki Isshiki.
When he met the Six Paths Naruto Sasuke, he was exposed, and Black Zetsu had to act as a military advisor.
A nouveau riche who only knows how to squander chakra can never exert the true power of these chakras.
The scene became extremely chaotic at this moment.
After Moryo appeared, several worms like black maggots drilled out of Huang Quan's body and entered the bodies of the ninjas of the Land of Demons.
Their eyeballs flashed with the same color as Moryo, and then the entire eyeball, including the white eye, turned black.
The skin became dark purple, and many strange lines appeared on the skin surface.
Watching the ninjas of the Land of Demons who had been getting along well on weekdays turn into monsters in the blink of an eye, this extraordinary scene made the guards even more afraid.
If they were guarding other officials instead of the priestess, they would probably have couldn't help but run away!
The four Suna ninjas could not avoid these chaotic situations and were forced to be involved.
They used their own ninjutsu to attack Moryo's tentacles and this group of ninjas.
Kakashi's short sword quickly cut off Moryo's tentacles, but each cut could quickly regenerate.
Seeing this, Kakashi released a C-level lightning ninjutsu in his hand, cutting off a pile of Moryo's tentacles that were surrounding him.
Minazuki Yuki was unfortunately the first target of the Land of Demons ninjas, obviously they wanted to break through them one by one.
Kiyoshi, who was fighting with Moryo, saw this scene, but not only did he not choose to save Minazuki Yuki, but he also showed an evil smile.
Wasn't he caught by the opportunity?
This old Deng looks at him unhappily every day, and really thinks Kiyoshi has no temper.
Kiyoshi will only repay malice with malice!
Crack!
A layer of fine electric arc appeared on Kiyoshi's body, and his mobility and reflexes were further strengthened.
The ninja sword in his hand ignited with flames and continued to fight with Moryo.
Occasionally, if a part that was accidentally injured, the white snake in the robe would stretch out its snake letter and gently lick Kiyoshi's wound, and soon a weak light green light would appear, slowly repairing the wound.
The priestess watched the chaotic dance of demons and the ever-expanding horde of Wangliang rush outwards, remaining silent for a long while.
As the Wangliang surged out, many guards died protecting it, either killed by the Wangliang itself or by the ninja loyal to the Daimyo of the Ghost Country.
Even further away, innocent guards were crushed into a pulp by collapsing buildings!
A hint of regret arose in the priestess's heart.
If only she had sealed the Wangliang directly.
Alas, hindsight is 20/20, and now she could only try her best to make up for her own mistakes.
Seiji watched Miroku from behind, knowing that the time was ripe!
