Chapter 158: The Shrine Maiden

Naruto also began to fall into confusion for a while. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

If there is no accident at the beginning, he may protect this girl for a youth, or even a lifetime!

Listening to Sakura's firm words, looking at her strong smile, and the sadness that is almost invisible hidden...

Do you really want to be stronger and courageous?

But!

Strength, courage, these are all hard things to come at a cost...

Can you do it? Maybe there will be more in the future! It will be even more cruel! Can you really bear it?

Naruto looked at the girl deeply.

Sakura's face was slightly red, this guy hadn't talked to her so close in a long time, and he hadn't looked at her like this.

In those eyes, there seemed to be a lot of words to say, and a lot of meaning to be expressed......

Sakura gave Naruto a big smile. It's a heartfelt smile that she hasn't seen in a long time.

Without Naruto, without Sasuke, when she was left alone, she had to work hard to learn to make herself stronger, she learned to protect others and protect herself.

Most importantly, she wants to bring Sasuke back after becoming stronger and save him on her own.

Whether it's Naruto or Sasuke, Sakura hopes that the three of them can be together forever and never separate.

Now she can't make a real choice! Who to choose...

"Hinata, check the neighborhood with your white eyes!"

"Okay!

……

The land of ghosts!

It's a small country with little name, and the territory is average, and there are many small countries like this in the world.

There is no such reserve as a ninja as a military force, and even the Snow Country is not as good, there are at least a few Snow Ninja there... Therefore, if the country of ghosts is attacked by the ghost undead army, it has no strength to resist.

The small country is famous for the shrine maiden.

Rumors can predict the future and seal the spirits.

At least, the shrine maidens of the previous generation fulfilled her mission.

So, that's the only hope to stop the world from being destroyed!

For several days, the armies of the Oni no Kuni had maintained the highest level of vigilance, defending their enemies and then protecting their shrine maidens.

It has been dozens of days since the soul seal of the dragon was unlocked, and the country of ghosts has been defeated and retreated by the Death Army, and the territory is falling step by step, and it is on the verge of extinction.

The shrine maidens of the Oni Country have the ability to predict, so whenever they encounter danger, they can turn evil into good fortune and avoid death, so they have been delayed until now.

This time, they had no way to retreat, and Huang Quan, who had unlocked the seal of the monster monster, sent all four of his men out, with the aim of killing the only threat, Shion!

So:

This kind of "oneness" with a sense of mission is a kind of shackles that have been forcibly given by others.

Naruto's words, he would not have accepted such a mission.

In a word, why!? Is he desperately trying to fight for the whole world? so great!!

Death!

It is the evil ninja who used to use the power to dominate the otherworldly monster Spirits in an attempt to destroy everything and finally rule the entire world.

He's a huge careerist, and he wants to create a thousand-year-old kingdom.

……

The lights are bright at night, and there is a post in five steps and a post in the base camp of the country of ghosts, and a sentry in ten steps.

Rush is full of vigilance!

They know that it may not be of much use, but... They are willing to do their best to protect the shrine maiden Shion-sama at all costs!

I can't sleep at night!

After several days of mental vigilance, these soldiers were already exhausted...

But...

That's when the crisis came.

……

A deep, sunless room, a huge empty room.

It doesn't seem like a simple house.

This is the place where the shrine maiden lived.

In her bedroom...

Shion lay quietly on the tatami mattress, her expression was strange, and her deep pupils seemed to be playing a scene...

At this time......

Rumble~~~

The four of Huangquan's subordinates have invaded the hinterland of the Oni Country.

Kill the shrine maiden Shion!

This is Lord Huangquan's order!

"Arrows!" I didn't expect it to be a sneak attack in the early morning, and the tired soldiers fired thousands of arrows to shoot down the enemy in the air...

The battle is on!

It's a battle without suspense.

All in vain!

Ninja and Soldier are completely different classes. It can be said that this ordinary means of warfare is really of little use.

Ordinary swords are useless.

The ninjas under Huang Quan, after being strengthened by the strength of the dragons, are very powerful.

"Quick! kill those thieves!" the soldiers of the Oni Country fell down in constant roars, and the combat strength of these four people could easily break through the Oni Nation's defense.

"Protect Lord Shion!"

"Take Master Shion away!"

A helpless roar, full of powerlessness.

That's why it's said that ninjas are a military force that every country must reserve.

Without ninjas, there is no capital to compete with.

The Kusuna Quartet, exerted by the power of the Dragons, invaded this place with impunity.

The shrine maiden's bedroom was approaching, and there was nothing they could do.

"Gotta stop them. ”

Rumble~~

A large hole was smashed on the roof, and the four people who were full of murderous aura looked at the expressionless and delicate girl in the bedroom.

But she didn't seem to care, didn't say a word, seemed to be waiting for the verdict of life and death.

This is the indifference that comes from the bottom of her heart.

"Die!" one of the four moved his hand, stabbing the girl with a long chain of sharp weapons that had no ability to resist......

Once again, she was so close to death, and when the scythe of death swung at her, Shion's expression did not fluctuate in any way.

But death... It didn't come to her.

In other words, there will always be people who will die for her.

Replace her!

Again and again, again and again. Every time, a life dies because of her, why is she alive?!

Feared by people, and desperately protected by people, what is her mission as a witch?

She had never harmed anyone, but the number of people who had died because of her was uncountable.

Is this also the fate of the shrine maiden!?

Her mother, the fate of Maitreya, the witch of the previous generation.

This identity, which seemed to her to be very pathetic and disgusting.

"Suzuki!" shouted Ashiho, a guard of the Oni Country.

Really... That's it again!

The one who died in her place.

Her calamity, or other people's calamity.

Aster coldly chose to ignore it.

Because...... She's been through all of this too much.

"Let's take the life of this witch!" said Huang Quan's four subordinates with a wild laugh.
