"Little ghost, look what! How! Not happy yet! ”

Maitreya saw the resentful expression on Aoki's face, and immediately became unhappy, and then folded his arms and said sharply.

When Aoki heard this, he was not to be outdone, and walked directly in front of her, and then showed dead fish eyes and said: "Brother Zhiwei and I are desperately trying to protect you, but what about you!" You're good! It is clear that it has not weak strength, so you have to hide it! ”

Maitreya originally saw Aoki come forward, thinking that he was a child, and wanted to refute himself, but suddenly heard Aoki say that he had not weak strength, and the expression on his face suddenly changed, and then showed a slightly surprised look.

Because when Maitreya showed her true strength, it was just the moment when she dodged Huang Quan's short blade, and some of the conversations between her and Huang Quan later, because of the distance between her and Aoki, she was confident that the two of them had no chance of hearing.

Therefore, since Huang Quan retreated, Maitreya has always believed that except for Huang Quan himself, who fled, no one else will know that he has not weak combat power.

And the oil girl Zhiwei and Autumn Dao Dingza, who were sitting cross-legged on the side, showed puzzled expressions, obviously not understanding what Aoki meant.

I saw that the oil girl Zhi slightly helped the sunglasses she was wearing, and then frowned and said to Aoki: "Aoki, what are you talking about?" You mean to say that Mikome-sama ......"

"Impossible! Will the shrine maiden be as strong as we are? After the oil girl Zhiwei finished speaking, the autumn road Ding Zuo on the left was also surprised.

Only Mizumon, who was standing behind Aoki, didn't react when he heard this, and his facial expression was still very flat, as if he had already known something.

Maitreya's expression was constantly changing, and then she turned her gaze to Aoki and the others, and when she saw everyone staring at her intently, she immediately tilted her head to the side.

Seeing this, Mizumon stared at Maitreya, and suddenly said to her at this time: "Mikomi-sama, as the representative of the ninjas who came to the aid of Konoha of the Fire Country this time, there are some things that I must explain to you below!"

Maitreya heard the sound of Bo Feng Shuimen, turned his head slowly, and then frowned, "What's the matter?"

"According to the information we have received, the Ghost Legion and the dozen or so ninjas who attacked this time are all subordinates of otherworldly monsters. And as an otherworldly monster who wants to dominate the ninja world, why would he concentrate so many forces and attack the shrine maiden village alone, which has no combat power. And why does his goal have to kill you, the witch of the Oni Country! ”

Bo Feng Shuimen looked at Maitreya, and at this time, he once again inadvertently showed that innate leadership temperament.

Maitreya saw the solemn gaze of the fluctuating water gate and did not speak.

After a long silence, she lowered her head in a trance, and then looked at the wooden floor at her feet, her expression solemn and hesitant.

Seeing Maitreya's reaction, Shuimen did not continue to ask, but turned his gaze to Aoki, who was standing not far in front of Maitreya, and cast an affirmative expression at him.

Aoki saw the expression cast by Mizumon, and he was bored and didn't know how to respond, so he had to blink.

But Aoki was thinking in his heart: Don't look at me like this, I know that I am very good in all aspects such as observation, insight, and thinking, but I will be proud of you to give such a blatant affirmation!

After a while, Maitreya finally raised his head and breathed a long sigh of relief, obviously having made a decision on whether to answer the question of Watergate or not.

Maitreya paused, then glanced at Aoki on the side, and then spoke to everyone: "Actually, our witches in the country of ghosts are all passed down from generation to generation, and the earliest witches can be traced back to the distant Warring States period. And I, originally from birth as an ordinary person, and then my mother passed on the position of the shrine maiden to me when she died......"

Maitreya started with the origin of the witch, and then told a lot of secrets about the witch clan along the way, and related to this incident are also some legends about the witch that she said, handed down from her ancestors.

"I vaguely remember what my mother said, a long, long time ago, maybe it was the middle of the Warring States Period, the prosperous era of ninjas had not yet come, and the five major countries and the five great ninja villages had not yet been seen...... At that time, in the land of the land of ghosts, on a night when the stars were scarce, there was a rare wonder in a thousand years...... Darkness covers the sky and the moon, gradually tearing the sky, and everywhere it passes, whether it is human beings, livestock, flowers and trees, everything that has life is eaten away......"

"So, what is the light that appeared at that time?"

Aoki stood aside, listening to Maitreya's storytelling, and couldn't help but pull out a bag of popcorn from the storage scroll, and then he heard the puzzle again, and immediately asked excitedly.

When Maitreya heard this, he immediately looked at Aoki, but when he saw Aoki looking like a crowd eating melons, his face suddenly became gloomy.

Seeing this, the three people of Mizumen on the side also showed a very fucked up look for a while, and they couldn't help but want to fall to the ground immediately, and their eyes gradually showed a violent look when they looked at Aoki.

Seeing the looks on the faces of the four people, Aoki hurriedly put the popcorn back into the storage scroll in fright, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead at the same time.

Oh yes! It's dangerous! Is this to the wrath of the people?

Maitreya saw Aoki quickly put away the popcorn, but his originally serious expression suddenly collapsed, and he secretly smiled in his heart.

After Aoki put away the popcorn, he didn't dare to smile anymore, but repeated the question just now: "So...... What exactly is the light that appears? ”

"This is it!" Maitreya replied.

"Nani!"

"Massaga!"

Autumn Dao Dingza and the oil girl Zhiwei have been listening carefully to Maitreya's narration, when Maitreya is about to take out the thing that represents light, they are still guessing that it must be something amazing, but when they see the golden bell that is constantly swaying in Maitreya's hand, both of them show very surprised expressions.

"It's this ......"

Aoki looked at the bell in Maitreya's hand and groaned.

The bell in Maitreya's hand is the amulet worn by Aster in the theatrical version, and when she later falls into the water, Aster secretly gives the bell to Naruto, who protects her.

In the end, Naruto was saved because of this bell, and the dragon also stated that this bell contained the power of the shrine maiden Maitreya, but now from Maitreya himself, it seems that this is not the case.

Maitreya said that a long time ago, probably in the middle of the Warring States period, there was a change in the land of the land of the Oni Country, and the darkness continued to erode the light, and the light was unstoppable, until the earth was about to be completely swallowed, and another light appeared, suppressing the darkness and making it fade quickly.

And the darkness mentioned here is the current dragon, and the other light that appears refers to the bell in Maitreya's hand at this time, and the bell contains the power of light.

However, in the plot of the theatrical version, it was explained that the dragon was formed after the destruction of another world, but now there is a new theory of its origin, that is, the darkness that suddenly appeared in the middle of the Warring States period mentioned by Maitreya.

Aoki is thinking back to the theatrical version of the story, and at the same time thinking seriously about what Maitreya is telling, and he is constantly comparing the two to find the real answer.

"Could the darkness in the middle of the Warring States Period be formed after the destruction of another world? At that time, the dragon had not yet been born from it, until the energy of the destruction of the other world was silent for many years, and for some reason, it gradually formed a life. Aoki speculated in his heart.

After listening to Maitreya's words, the three of them all imagined in their minds that it would be a prosperous era for witches.

At that time, the shrine maiden's followers were not only in the land of Oni no Kuni, but also in the surrounding bear country and other places, and the people who lived in these lands revered the shrine maiden, and the name of the contemporary shrine maiden was reverent.

Maitreya looked at the expressions of the four of them, and then continued: "According to legend, the power of light is contained in this bell, and it has an unparalleled restraint on the dark side of the dragon, and this power is too threatening for the dragon, not only to block his ambition to dominate the ninja world, but also to make him always wary of it. And the only one who knows these things is our shrine maidens who have been passed down from generation to generation! That's why he goes out of his way to kill me! ”

"Quack ......"

After hearing this, Shuimen touched his chin and nodded, but there were still some doubts in his heart that had not yet been solved, so he continued: "Since the witch-sama knows that the spirit is planning to kill you, then why do you still hide your strength?"

"This ...... In fact, there is another point, although the light power in the bell restrains the dragons, they are originally of the same origin, if they are devoured by each other, the one who devours them will be even stronger, and their strength will also increase very hugely! ”

Maitreya paused and continued to explain.

"Cognate ......"

When Aoki heard Maitreya say that the power in the dragon and the bell were originally of the same origin, his originally divergent gaze suddenly lit up.

Since the two are of the same origin, then that is to say, in the middle of the Warring States Period, the light and darkness that appeared were of the same origin, they were both products of the destruction of the other world, but the two were diametrically opposed in nature, but they were born of each other, like yin and yang.

After thinking about all the relevant information at present, he was silent for a while, and then asked the witch Maitreya again: "If the spirit wants to strengthen itself, you must get this bell, and the trace of the bell is only known to you as a contemporary witch, so the purpose of your hidden strength is ......"

"That's right, I hid my strength in order to get close to the body of the dragon, and then seal it with the power of this bell!"

Maitreya didn't deny it, she directly showed a resolute look, but then she remembered the result this time, her eyes dimmed again and said: "It's a pity that the spirit is not here, maybe his idea is to eradicate me first, and then slowly look for the bell to minimize all threats."

Fluctuating Watergate nodded.

And Aoki on the side thought that in the theatrical version of the plot, the spirit said in the end that the power in the bell came from the witch Maitreya, and he must be trying to cover it up and hide the truth of the matter.

I don't want Naruto and the others to know that the bell contains the power of the same origin as himself, and there is also a huge restraint on himself.
