Chapter 372: Shrine Maiden
Hokage's office.
"It's been more than ten days since the mutation occurred, and the enemy is moving while ravaging the border, and the so-called ghost legion has been determined to be a kind of puppetry." Tsunade sat down in a chair and said to the team in front of him.
"So they don't have souls, they're just manipulated dolls?" Sakura asked.
Naruto was extremely excited, and said, "Then let's just hurry up and kill the person who is manipulating." ”
"It's not humans who are manipulating, but monsters from other worlds called 'Dragons'." This time it was Ning Ci who answered, and he said with a serious expression.
"Magic ...... Monsters? Naruto swallowed. I...... I've always been afraid of these topics...... And ......" Naruto pointed to Ninji and Xiao Li on the side and said, "Why are Ninji and Thick Eyebrows here?" ”
"Please take care of me!" Xiao Li struck a posture with shiny teeth. Sure enough, he didn't notice that Naruto's hand already had a "tic-tac-toe" on it.
"Xiao Li is in place of Sasuke!" Tsunade said lightly.
"Sasuke......" Suddenly, both Naruto and Sakura's heads drooped.
"It seems...... Sasuke is a forbidden language in the seventh class......" Tsunade said helplessly.
"That'...... What about Ningci? Naruto said.
"Ningji is to replace Kakashi, and Kakashi and Akai have already gone to the front line with the ninth class of Hakura and Junmaro. And today your task is to protect a dignitary. Tsunade said solemnly.
Naruto stopped listening and said, "Granny Tsunade, why can't you go to the front?" I'm going to make the most of my strengths. ”
"Naruto, this matter is about the survival of the world, you have to cooperate with Captain Ninji, and you must not make your own decisions." Tsunade looked at Naruto and said seriously.
"Why should I listen to this guy?" Naruto pointed at Ninji and said unwillingly.
"Because Ningci is a top ninja, you are a middle ninja." Tsunade hit him mercilessly.
"That's it." Ninji's faint tone made Naruto very unhappy.
"Abominable ......"
"Naruto, you give me a little peace!" Sakura punches Naruto into the air.
"Alas......" Looking at the indifferent Ningji, the hot-blooded Xiao Li, the large Naruto and the violent Sakura, Tsunade couldn't help but sigh deeply, "Really...... Why does it seem so unreliable...... If that guy was still around, everything would be easy......"
"Do you mean Yakushi-sama? Tsunade-sama? Mute asked.
"Ah...... If that guy is here, he's the best candidate...... Now, it's just them......" Tsunade looked at Naruto and them, smiled and said, "Perhaps, that guy has come to the country of ghosts first......"
Tsunade got up and walked to the window, looking out at the beautiful and peaceful scenery that hid danger.
"The work of public opinion is almost done...... It's almost time for that guy to return to Konoha, and the elders can't say anything at this time, otherwise they won't be able to fool so many villagers in Konoha......" Tsunade said lightly, "Now...... We just need an opportunity...... An opportunity for him to return......"
"Maybe this incident will be an ......opportunity," Shizune said.
"Maybe......" Tsunade smiled faintly, "This incident, the result may be bright, or it may be ......"
"Doomsday?" Yao Shili rubbed his nose lightly.
Recently, a large number of so-called ghost legions similar to terracotta warriors have appeared in the country of swamps, heading in the direction of the country of ghosts. Some people who know the inside story have fled with shouts and screams, according to them, the appearance of the ghost army is the end of the world!
"Stupid ......" Medicine Master Li sneered at the people who kept running for their lives, "If it's really the end of the world, where can you escape?" People who don't try to solve problems and only run away from them will end up with destruction......"
"If I remember correctly...... Has it come to this plot......" Yao Shili smiled faintly, "It's another theatrical version...... The evil chakra fluctuations are a bit like the demons recorded in the history of the Hokage......"
"Can you speak the future shrine maiden......" Yakushi Li smiled and picked up his knife, "Looking forward to our meeting again...... I'd love to see what my future holds......"
A black and dusty dust, the direction, is the country of ghosts full of demonic energy.
Shion hasn't had a good night's sleep lately.
The soft chanting of bells in the middle of the night, the soul that leaves the body, the dream of witnessing death, the terrifying prophecy.
Aster was very painful, watching the people around her leave one by one, but there was nothing she could do. In the end, she could only accept the facts numbly and pretend to face everything silently.
With so many guards around her, she never felt at ease. On the contrary, I have to worry a lot about them.
I thought I would experience numbness until the end of the world or seal the world by myself, but I had a strange dream last night. A dream that was suddenly interrupted! A dream that is the only one without death!
It was a golden-haired teenager who was slashing something like a tentacle with a kunwu in his hand, fighting desperately. However, when the boy was shot into the air, he was in danger. Another teenager suddenly appeared! In a dream, two people were prophesied at the same time! This has never been done before. As if the signal was bad, the vision in the dream began to blur after the appearance of another teenager, and then he was awakened. Even she, the shrine maiden, couldn't see what happened in the end, and the last thing she saw was...... A hair! Black hair!
"It's ...... What's going on? The awakened Shion covered her forehead a little weakly, "Who are they?" Is it an ordinary dream...... However, I heard the bell ringing......"
"There was no prophecy of foresight of death...... This means that it will be me, the witch, who died this time? Aster smiled bitterly as if helpless and relieved.
Konoha.
"Alright, let's go!" In front of the Konoha Gate, Naruto, who was fully equipped, shouted.
"Before we go, let's assign the task first," Ning Ci said lightly......
"Sakura-chan, you must stay with the shrine maiden at all times and protect yourself. Even if something happens, you can treat it as soon as possible! ”
"Understood!" Sakura nodded.
"Xiao Li, you are responsible for meeting the enemy!"
"Understood!" Xiao Li saluted.
"In the case of not being able to predict the strength of the enemy, your physical skills without chakra characteristics are all-powerful to some extent!"
"Leave it to me, I will protect it to the end!" Xiao Li said very confidently.
"Then, let's go......" Ning Ci raised his feet and left.
"Hey, what about me!" Naruto said angrily.
