Chapter 589: The Witches and Monsters of the Land of Ghosts

Therefore, it was almost after all the major national affairs were settled and the follow-up work was arranged in an orderly manner.

Menma left the shinobi village with Muzan and several shadow guards, and headed westward towards the Kingdom of Demons.

For this trip, Toneri, Sasuke, and Naruto are not needed. The former has to do some preliminary work of searching and locking the position of Otsutsuki Ishiki, and the latter two need a certain amount of time to hone themselves.

It is not suitable to leave the village at this time to further improve one's strength.

And unlike the previous trip to the Three Holy Lands, which required the three of them, especially Sasuke and Naruto, the goal this time was for Menma himself, and in the current ninja world, except for Kaguya, who cannot break the seal , except for the seriously injured Ichiki, no one has the ability to threaten Menma.

Nothing to worry about at all.

He brought Wugou and some shadow guards with him, of course, just to take into account that in the future, he might need some manpower to help him deal with chores.

The Kage Guards who could travel with Menma were all at the level of ordinary jounin at their worst, and their traveling speed was already among those not too slow in the ninja world. It took three days for a group of just a few people. In less than time.

That’s when we arrived in the Kingdom of Ghosts.

And that was just when Menma and his party had just arrived at the outskirts of the palace built specifically for witches of all generations.

A gentle man wearing a robe and black-rimmed glasses was standing in the open space in front.

Naturally, it was impossible for this man to sense the arrival of Menma and others.

On the contrary, when Menma sensed this aura and quickly came over to see it, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, showing a faint look of surprise.

Because of this man's posture, it was obvious that he was waiting for someone.

Almost the moment he saw this person, Menma had a strong hunch in his heart that this man, who was obviously a guard from the Kingdom of Demons, was waiting for their arrival.

‘The witch’s prophetic power? It's really interesting. ’

Menma muttered to himself.

"Whoosh"

The next second.

Just take the initiative to fly out from the position above.

Wu Gu and others in the back immediately followed.

The sudden appearance of Menma made the young man tense up and subconsciously put on a defensive posture.

But it was only for less than a few seconds.

When I saw the obvious ninja costumes of Menma and his group, especially when I saw the leader Menma's face that was already very familiar to the whole world.

This young man also immediately lifted all defensive postures.

With a slightly respectful expression, he bowed and greeted: "The guard of the Demon Country - Ashoho is here to greet Lord Amekage on the order of His Highness the Miko."

A conjecture that is 100% clear.

That is to say, when he heard the words of the man named Ashho, even though he had expected it, Menma's pupils could not help but reveal a faint look of surprise. That man could almost be regarded as a close friend. Can a miko of her own age actually display such precognitive abilities?

It was really beyond Menma's imagination.

"Your Highness the Miko? Haha, okay, just lead the way."

Menma smiled softly and said that he was really becoming more and more interested in this miko from the Kingdom of Ghosts.

The main entrance that you walked in lightly was said to be a palace complex, but it was actually just some relatively luxurious one-story houses. Wherever you saw, there was no ordinary person who could live here, or guards who were guarding the witches. They are either the servants who take care of the miko.

Other than that, no one else can enter.

Naturally, Menma and his team, led by Ashho, cannot be hindered by anything. Ashho is the most trusted guard of the contemporary miko, and in many matters, he takes the place of the miko.

Therefore, everything is smooth along the way.

Until we came to a relatively magnificent building.

"His Royal Highness is already waiting for Lord Tianying inside. Please come here, Lord Tianying."

Ashuda stood on one side of the main entrance, bowing in an inviting gesture.

Menma smiled slightly, took a step forward, and strode towards the inside, the moment Muzan and the others were about to follow.

"His Highness only invited Lord Tianying, and also asked a few of you to stop here with me."

Ashho immediately stepped forward and stopped Muzan and the others.

"Boy, get out of the way!"

Seeing that a mere guard from a small country actually dared to stop him, Muzan's expression turned ferocious. The overwhelming evil aura permeating his body made Ashuhiro's expression change. His breathing, which suddenly became difficult, suddenly lost all color. face.

"Wugou!"

The moment he saw Asashi was about to be crushed by Muzan's evil aura.

Menma, who was in the front seat, spoke calmly.

"Yes, Menma-sama, this subordinate is rude."

Wu Guo's expression tightened and he quickly retracted his evil aura.

"Okay, after all, we are considered guests now. You can just stay outside. There is nothing to worry about."

Menma waved his hand and said.

The establishment of a unified country has only just issued a corresponding announcement, and the specific plan has not yet been officially released. For now, the Ghost Country is indeed an independent country, and Menma can be regarded as a guest.

After all, we still need to use the power of the witch.

Basic etiquette cannot be ignored.

"Yes!"

Wuqiu's face straightened, and he bowed again.

Then Wuqiu led the shadow guards to disperse to the surrounding positions.

"Sorry, Zuho-san, my subordinate was a little rude, I apologize on his behalf."

Menma turned his head to look at Zuho, who was still breathing a little hurriedly and had a very pale face, and said with a hint of apology.

"No, Master Tianying, you are too kind."

Zhuho forced himself to suppress his inner waves, and bowed as much as possible in a steady voice.

"Hehe."

Menma smiled slightly, said nothing more, took off his boots, and walked towards the interior of the hall.

Zhuho stood sideways at the main entrance. Even though his body was still trembling slightly, Zuho still abided by his guard duties.

The wide and bright hall.

At this moment, the only sound that can be heard is the sound of Menma's steady footsteps.

Within Menma's perception range, there is only one person's breath in the hall, that is the girl sitting on the main seat.

A girl who also needs to take on the responsibility of a country in her childhood.

The current priestess of the Ghost Country named Shion.

"Wanderers, priestesses, and predictive abilities, I have to say that a mere Ghost Country can have such special powers, which is really beyond my imagination."

The two people standing opposite.

The girl named Shion looked at Menma with a very curious look when Menma stepped in.

After scanning the surroundings, Menma's eyes fixed on Shion and said with a slightly amazed tone.

Something that must be said.

In Menma's opinion,

The ghosts should really be special beings similar to the gods of death and evil gods, but compared with the latter two, the level of the ghosts is still a little lower, but this also proves the specialness of this planet. You should know that when Otsutsuki planted trees on other planets, almost all the planets died, but only on this planet, the sacred tree has completely stored the energy it can absorb, and produced a chakra fruit with the highest upper limit. This planet has not only not been destroyed, but can continue to exist these special beings.

From this speculation.

Menma can fully imagine how prosperous the exclusive cultivation civilization of this planet would be before the arrival of the Otsutsuki, an alien race. It is estimated that there were more special beings a thousand years ago, right?

"The existence of Lord Ame-kage is truly beyond my expectations. In my prediction, Lord Ame-kage's future seems to be constantly changing and full of dark clouds. Although my prediction can only detect part of the content related to me, or even directly related to my death, as long as it is related to Lord Ame-kage, it seems that everything is unclear."

Unlike the original work, when she met Naruto, Neji and his party, she seemed so unruly and rude.

At this moment, Shion, who was facing Menma, was completely elegant and noble. She looked at Menma with a very solemn look and said word by word.

In fact, this kind of Shion is her most normal form. As Shion, who has been trained as the next generation of priestess, that is, the actual ruler of the Demon Country, since she could remember, she is definitely not like a little girl born in an ordinary family. Her upbringing and her temperament are all different.

No matter whether it is real or fake.

This is the form of Shion that belongs to the Demon Country Priestess.

In the original book, it was just because Naruto infected Shion.

"I actually never trust the so-called prophecy. It's not that I completely overturn it. I just think that the prophecy you are talking about is a possibility that has a relative probability of happening in the future. To give a more straightforward example, the long journey has come to a fork in the road. Different roads lead to different directions. Each road is the future we choose. Before we really come to that future, no one can be sure what our future will be."

Menma smiled lightly.

Shion's mouth moved slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to refute something, but she swallowed it back by herself. If it was before Menma came, Shion would only be firm in her prediction, because in the past, her predictions had never been wrong. She predicted again and again, and watched others die again and again. The girl who was nearly fifteen or sixteen years old had already sealed her heart.

But Menma is really different.

A completely unpredictable future.

Forget about the other parts, because they have nothing to do with herself. Shion can't see the future of others that has nothing to do with herself. Her ability to predict has always been related to the part that is closely related to her, and it is all related to death.

To put it bluntly, it is to predict the scene of her possible death in the future, and then the person predicted is the existence who will die in her place.

This is the essential ability of Shion's prediction, and the rest are incidental and may not be 100% accurate.

In fact, Menma also thought so at the beginning. The answer has been clearly given in the original work, but the waiting of Ashio made Menma doubt it a little again. Who knows if there will be a big change?

But now it seems that there is still no difference from the original work. This miko can only foresee content related to herself, and it must be a matter of life and death. Her arrival probably triggers a certain kind of debuff. Not sure?

Is it more likely that it's just a guess at a certain time period?

Menma already had a pretty good guess.

Ashho has actually been waiting there for two days. He is not really waiting there accurately. Shion cannot give such accurate predictions. If he really has such an ability, then Shion will be really scary. .

Also after a slight silence.

Ziyuan also said: "Your Excellency Tianying came to our country of ghosts this time. His target should be monsters, right?"

"Haha, this should be the reason why Your Highness the Miko invited me here, right? After all, the power of the demon is actually two sides of the same coin as that of your previous witches. You can seal him, but if you want to kill him, you may not be able to do it. In other words, the price is beyond your reach."

"Your Excellency Tianying is right."

When Shion heard Menma's words, his expression changed slightly. After all, she was just a teenage girl. It was impossible to have a castle or anything like that. Facing the number one person in the ninja world, it was even more... It can be said that Menma is the de facto ruler of the entire world. It is commendable that Shion can perform like this.

"So, take me to the altar where the demon is sealed. First deal with the demon's soul, and then go find his body. This time, let's get rid of the demon completely."

Menma stretched slightly and said with a slight smile.

"Your Excellency Tianying, are you really sure that you can deal with the monsters?"

Hearing Menma's words.

Shion also stood up and looked at Menma with a very solemn expression and asked.

Monsters!

The biggest hidden danger in the Kingdom of Ghosts.

It is also an existence that the mikos of all generations must use all their strength to suppress. It is also an extremely terrifying existence that the mikos of all generations believe is likely to destroy the world if it is released.

But this is just the perspective of the miko of the past.

"Haha, Your Highness the Miko, who do you think is standing in front of you at this moment?"

Menma showed a rare open smile, and a pair of pupils flashed with an extremely beautiful halo.

A powerful aura then rippled out.

This breath that comes straight up.

Even Shion, who was protected by special power, showed a very horrified expression. At this moment, Menma in front of her seemed to have turned into an extremely terrifying existence.

It was countless times scarier than the monsters he had 'seen' in his inherited memories.
