Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Hinata quietly wiped the Kusanagimaru in her hand.

Although his heart was full of annoyance and guilt, he was not swayed by this negative emotion, but tried his best to restrain the spreading killing intent in his heart.

The gentle wind swept through his body, calming his mind all the more.

In the ninja world, blindness and underestimation of enemies are the greatest enemies of ninjas.

No matter what you do, you have to have a clear goal, and the goal of Hinata's visit to the country of demons this time is not to kill indiscriminately, but to find the whereabouts of the shrine maiden.

Looking in the direction of the shrine maiden's palace, Hinata's expression gradually calmed.

As night fell, rows of lights had been lit in the palace in the distance, and although the disciples of the Huangquan Sect were still patrolling all the time, the flaws in the queue were undoubtedly much larger than during the day, making it easier for the Hyuga Mirror to sneak in.

But Hinata still didn't take action, still waiting patiently.

As the night deepened, the formation of the patrols in the palace began to disperse a little, and the guards in the various sentry posts also yawned, and the silence seemed to make all the guards in the palace relax their vigilance.

"It's time!"

Hinata Mirror slowly got up, and then his body shook and disappeared in place.

Like a dark shadow, he stalked in the shadows of the walls, past one sentry after another, dodged one pair of guards, and in a matter of moments, he infiltrated the palace.

The shrine maiden's palace, Hinata Mirror has also lived for a while, and although she is not very familiar with the layout of the palace, she is not blind.

After sneaking into the palace, he leaned against a dark corner and thought to himself, "The shrine maiden's residence is the core area of the whole palace, so let's go there first!" ”

After passing through several corridors, Hinata found a group of Huangquan cultists standing guard in front of the passage leading to the shrine maiden's residence.

Hinata looked at him and slowly pulled out the Kusanagi pill on his waist.

Sa...

In a burst of breaking wind, the whole person of Hinata Mirror turned into a black shadow and pounced on it.

Whew...

As a few cold sword lights flashed, one by one the Huangquan Sect disciples fell to the ground in a daze.

"Enemy..."

The little leader of the Huangquan Sect, who was in the center of the team, had just opened his mouth to give a loud warning, when the Kusanagi Pill that came out of Hinata Mirror's hand shot at him like a kunai, stabbing into his mouth impartially, making his exclamation stop abruptly!

After pulling out the Kusanagi Pill from the mouth of the little leader of the Yellow Springs Sect, Hyuga Mirror shook it casually, shook off the blood that was still steaming from the blade of the sword, and walked towards the shrine maiden's residence with an indifferent expression.

Arriving at the shrine maiden's residence, Hinata slowly pushed open the door full of sealing techniques.

After pushing the door open, he did not rush in, but stood outside the door and carefully observed the scene inside the room with his reincarnated eyes.

In the field of vision of the reincarnated eye, there was not a single figure in the room, and there was not a trace of chakra, and the beds, furnishings, etc., in the room, seemed to be business as usual.

"Nobody...?"

Hinata Mirror frowned, slightly surprised.

He thought that even if he couldn't see the witch herself, he should be able to see Huang Quan, the leader of the Yellow Springs Sect who occupied the palace, but he didn't think that he would pounce on him.

Carrying Kusanagimaru, Hinata Mirror slowly walked into the house, but as soon as he entered the house, he sensed that something was wrong and immediately looked up at the roof.

The roof of the shrine maiden's residence was so high that the Hinata mirror could see that it was at least twelve meters high, three or four stories high, and in the center of the dome hung a crystal chandelier that shimmered with a magnificent light.

If you were a different person, you might not notice anything unusual, but the Hyuga Mirror with the reincarnation eye is different.

In the vision of the reincarnated eye of the Hyuga Mirror, the crystal chandelier hanging in the center of the dome obviously contains a soft energy, which seems to be a mixture of chakra and natural energy, very similar to the dragon vein chakra in the gourd magic weapon on the waist of the Hyuga Mirror.

Wow...

Just as the Hyuga Mirror was about to jump to the dome and take a closer look at the crystal chandelier, a piece of golden light suddenly shot out from the crystal chandelier, and at the same time, a familiar figure of the Hyuga Mirror walked out of the golden light.

This figure is no one else, it is the witch of the Oni Country!

Staring at the phantom of the lifelike witch of the Oni Country in front of him, Hinata asked with some caution: "Your Highness, what are you..."

The shrine maiden explained, "This is my spirit. ”

"Spirits!?" Slightly stunned, Hinata Mirror's face immediately darkened: "I'm sorry, I couldn't complete the agreement." ”

The so-called 'spirit' is actually another name for the soul, excluding special circumstances, the shrine maiden appeared in a soul state at this time, which means that she is most likely dead.

And this undoubtedly made Hyuga Mirror very guilty, if he completely killed Huangquan as promised, perhaps, the witch would have been able to escape.

Seeing this, the witch smiled slightly: "You don't have to worry too much, all this is already doomed!" ”

Hinata asked, "Did you predict anything?" ”

"Well, more than a month ago, I predicted my own death." After a pause, the witch smiled again: "Actually, as early as a few years ago, that is, the time when the Devil Plague Ghost Country, I predicted my own death once, but because of your appearance, my prophecy was invalid. ”

"What, you predicted your own death that time?"

It was only then that Hyuga realized why the shrine maiden always mentioned that she was going to die with the spirits.

The shrine maiden nodded and said, "Well, that time because of your appearance, the prophecy was invalidated, and this time, it was fulfilled. So you don't have to blame yourself too much, because of you, I've been with Aster for a few more years, and I'm already very satisfied! ”

The shrine maiden knew very well that Hyuga Mirror had no obligation to stay in the Oni Country to protect her, so she did not resent Hyuga Mirror, and even thanked Hyuga Mirror for allowing her to avoid the first death prophecy and spend a few more years with her daughter Shion.

Hinata sighed: "Your soul resides here, are you waiting for me?" ”

The shrine maiden smiled, "Yes, I know you're coming. ”

Hinata asked curiously, "You predicted that I would come?" ”

The shrine maiden shook her head, pointed to the gourd magic weapon on the waist of the Hyuga Mirror, and said, "With it by your side, I can't predict anything related to you!" ”

Hinata Mirror unexpectedly glanced at the gourd magic weapon on his waist and said, "Is it because of the dragon vein?" ”

The shrine maiden replied, "Well, your dragon vein contains a lot of natural energy, which can almost be seen as a part of nature, and prophecy can only be directed at individuals, not nature, so as long as it is by your side, no prophecy can spy on your fate!" ”

Patting the gourd magic weapon, Hinata asked, "So, it can shield me from all prophecies?" ”
