Chapter 32: See Through
"Blockade of borders?"
In the castle tower of the Daimyo Mansion of the Land of the Wind, the fourth generation of the Wind Shadow of the Sand Hidden Village, looked at the Daimyo of the Land of the Wind, who was sitting on the throne safely, with a puzzled look and asked what this meant.
The Daimyo of the Land of Wind, who was sitting on the main seat, looked slightly bloated and fat, but calmly replied to Luo Sha: "The ghost army of the Land of Demons has been revived, and as the Wind Shadow, you should have heard of it." ”
"Yes."
The Ghost Legion, also known as the Terracotta Army, is a special group of puppet soldiers made of solid rock.
The skills of the puppet technique even surpassed that of most of the puppeteers in Sand Hidden Village.
Instead, it can be controlled remotely, and the maximum number of controls is also surprising.
However, thinking that the sorcerers who manipulated these stone statues were not humans, but monsters that had been handed down since ancient times, Luo Sha was relieved.
The existence of monsters has existed since ancient times.
It is said that in the era of the Six Paths of Immortals to pass on the Ninja Sect, ninjas were not yet the mainstream, and the ninja world fell into a chaos of demons dancing wildly, giving birth to countless monsters, feeding on human flesh and blood, with a brutal personality, which brought a terrible blow to the human kingdom at that time.
Among them, the monster spirit is the best.
Defeated by a wandering shrine maiden at the time, her soul was sealed in a shrine in the country of ghosts, and her body was placed in the volcanic ancestral hall of the neighboring country of Numa, and she was isolated and disposed of separately.
The country of ghosts, as well as the surrounding countries such as the country of marshes and the country of the secluded, are grateful for the shrine maiden's contribution and are honored by her.
After that, the daimyo system of the Oni no Kuni was abolished and became the only country in the ninja world that did not have a daimyo system, and the shrine maiden outlawed the role of the daimyo.
However, these things are too old, and Luo Sha can only find some clues from ancient books.
Whether it is an ancient monster or a six-path immortal, they are nothing more than mythical creatures.
No matter how powerful the monster spirit is, it is at most the level of a tailed beast.
Luo Sha, who has the ability to seal tailed beasts, naturally disdains the monsters of the Oni Country.
This is also his question about the sealing of the borders of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind.
In Rossa's view, this is a complete fuss.
"Monsters are different from tailed beasts, they are special creatures that are different from tailed beasts."
The Daimyo of the Land of the Wind glanced at Luo Sha with a little meaning.
"Special creatures?"
"The monster is different from the pure chakra creature of the tailed beast, it is a special species born from the various negative emotions of human beings, combined with chakra. In essence, it is the dark consciousness deep within the human being. Human beings are immortal, and dragons are immortal. ”
The Daimyo of the Land of the Wind slowly shook the folding fan in his hand and said slowly.
"It's similar to the Tailed Beast...... However, as long as you use the sealing technique......"
Rosa was about to answer when he was interrupted.
The Daimyo of the Land of the Wind glanced deeply at Raksha, "You are human. If you are a human being, you will have evil thoughts and darkness, and you will have all kinds of desires, and in that case, you will only become food for the mouths of the spirits. In this way, you should understand the importance of the shrine maiden of the Oni Country. Their veins are already inhuman. ”
Rosa fell silent.
It was indeed the first time he had heard of such a thing.
Do you need to be free from evil thoughts in order to seal?
As the daimyo of the Land of Wind, he will not lie about this kind of thing.
In this way, this monster is simply a natural disaster born to destroy humanity.
It's no wonder that the Daimyo of the Land of Wind thinks that the Sand Hidden Village is powerless to deal with the monsters.
That's not an existence that humans can seal in the first place.
"This kind of thing, didn't the two elders, Elder Chiyo and Kai Eizo, tell you about it?"
The Daimyo of the Land of the Wind asked strangely.
The true identity of the shrine maiden of the Oni Country is not a secret that is difficult to know to the high-level leaders of the five major powers.
In the sand hide, the two Chiyo sisters and brothers, who have assisted the second generation of Kazekage and the third generation of Kazekage, cannot not know some of the secrets of the Oni Country.
Hearing the Daimyo of the Land of the Wind ask, Luo Sha sighed and said, "In fact, the two elders, Chiyo and Kai Eizo, because of their advanced age and the fact that the situation in the Sand Yin is stable now, those two are now in a state of semi-retirement. I hadn't asked about the village for three or four years. ”
Chiyo sisters and brothers are older than the current three generations of Konoha Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash, plus in the third ninja war, Chiyo sisters and brothers are all damaged, and after the ninja war, they have the intention of retiring.
The reason why he is semi-retired is to pave the way for him, the fourth generation of Wind Shadow, so that the Sand Hidden Village will not fall into all kinds of troublesome things in the struggle for power and profit.
Now that the situation in Shayin Village is stable, it is only natural that the Chiyo sisters and brothers will retire and retire in their old age.
The Daimyo of the Land of the Wind shook the folding fan in his hand, nodded and said, "I see, no wonder you don't know about it." To deal with monsters, you can only rely on the power of the shrine maiden. Ninjas have no advantage in dealing with this kind of thing, and they will only add unnecessary sacrifices. ”
In this way, Luo Sha doesn't know this kind of thing, and he can make sense.
The shrine maiden of the country of demons is indeed a symbol of the mystery of the ninja world.
Luo Sha has been busy with the construction work of Shayin Village all these years, and restoring the military strength of Shayin Village will naturally not pay attention to the witches of the Ghost Country.
In fact, if the Ghost Legion Rebellion hadn't broken out in the Oni Country now, the countries would probably have forgotten the existence of the Oni Nation Shrine Maiden.
"In this case, then the blockade of national borders is not a senseless move. I'll get my hands in place as soon as possible to stop those ghost soldiers from invading the borders of the Wind Nation. ”
"Well, that's up to you."
The Daimyo of the Land of the Winds was not worried about such a thing at all.
Although the ninja can't defeat the dragon, it won't be much of a problem to stop the ghost army under the dragon.
It is the duty of the Oni Country Shrine Maiden to seal the Spirits, which is why the Five Great Powers allow the Oni Nation to exist as a neutral country.
"Speaking of which, during the Third Ninja World War, we in the Sand Hidden Castle borrowed a large loan from the Shion Flower Chamber of Commerce in the Oni Country, and now the repayment date is due in a month or two, so if this loan has to be repaid...... Can the daimyo fund it? ”
Luo Sha looked at the Daimyo of the Land of the Wind with some embarrassment.
The construction of Shayin Village consumed too much money, and if he wanted to repay the loan of the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce, he was unable to repay it by relying on Shayin Village.
Therefore, Luo Sha hopes that the daimyo of the Land of Wind and the major nobles in the country will share it evenly and repay the loan.
Hearing this, the figure of the Daimyo of the Land of the Wind was slightly stunned, and his squinted eyes opened suddenly, as if he had woken up all of a sudden, and the folding fan in his hand did not shake.
"Kazekage, you know, our Wind Country is a poor country located on the desert, and there is a perennial shortage of water and food......"
“……”
Compared with the other four large countries, it is indeed a little poorer, but compared with the small countries, the country of wind is still amazingly wealthy.
However, this kind of remark, Luo Sha naturally would not mention it at this time, and it would save the face of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind.
"Give them a few more years of grace...... In a few years, let's see. ”
The Daimyo of the Land of the Wind did not say that he would not repay the loan, but he also did not say that he would repay it immediately for the Sand Hidden Village.
Luo Sha roughly understood the subconscious meaning of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, presumably because he wanted to delay it indefinitely and did not want to repay the loan.
"In this case, won't it offend the shrine maidens of the Demon Country too much......
"The country of ghosts is the country of ghosts, and shrine maidens are shrine maidens. Shrine maidens don't meddle in human affairs. After all, the shrine maiden was originally a symbol of being forcibly bound there by the inhabitants of the Oni Country who were unable to live on their own, and it was not out of their own volition. It is precisely because it is the highest good that we can deal with the most evil spirits. The shrine maiden has always lived outside the human world because she cannot look directly into the darkness in people's hearts. ”
The Daimyo of the Land of the Wind said slowly, not at all worried that the Witch of the Oni Country would make a big fuss about this kind of thing.
For the shrine maiden of the Oni Country, it doesn't make any difference between the humans in which country it is, and she has no intention of running the country in the first place.
I have been living in a shrine and ignoring the world, just to ensure the holiness of my heart.
If you enter the world, you will inevitably be eroded by the darkness of the world, and you will lose your power to deal with the spirits.
Luo Sha thought about it, but he didn't expect that there was such a difference between the witch and the country of ghosts.
In this case, isn't the country of ghosts an ownerless country?
◎
When the Sand Hidden Ninja of the Land of the Wind blocked the border, the Land of the Country, one of the five major powers adjacent to the Land of Demons, also relied on the ninjas of Iwakuin Village to block the border at about the same time to prevent the invasion of the ghost army of the monster spirits.
It is said that there is already a team of Iwakure Kamishinobi who unfortunately died in the battle against the Ghost Legion.
The ninja's blades, shuriken, kunai, and detonation charms are basically useless against the Ghost Legion.
It can only rely on the Earth Escape Ninjutsu to create terrain and limit the speed of the Ghost Legion's march, but it has little effect.
In addition, the land of thunder and the country of fire, which are far away from the country of ghosts, have not been affected.
The land of water, which is across the sea from the country of ghosts, was also spared, but it also symbolically sent ninja troops to the coastal areas to deploy defenses.
And the country of ghosts, as the main warring state, has already entered a state of preparedness for war long before the major powers take action.
Cities and towns, under the control of the military, have a total lockdown policy.
The central mountains, the southern forests, and the western coastal regions became the main battlefields of the fierce battle against the Ghost Legion.
But even if it exists as the main battlefield, it is mainly a diversion war.
The stone soldiers of the Ghost Legion are invulnerable to fire and water, and it is not wise for the flesh and blood of ninjas to fight them.
You can only learn the Iwakuin ninja of the land of earth, and use the earth escape ninjutsu to change the terrain and enter the pulling battle.
At the time of the Oni Country's military action, Shiraishi, as the leader of the Oni Nation military, had already left the Oni Country as soon as possible and went to the Swamp Country where the monster's body was located.
Compared to the country of ghosts, the disaster on the side of the country of marsh is even more serious.
Many villages and towns, due to the lack of time to build defenses and the lack of ninja power in the country, have been destroyed by the Ghost Legion.
Fortunately, the evacuation order was issued in time and did not cause a large number of casualties.
In addition, the country of swamps was originally a small and sparsely populated country, which greatly avoided all kinds of noisy trampling incidents during evacuation.
Smoke-emitting villages, fields and roads were badly damaged.
A large number of stone soldiers crossed the deserted village, causing the earth to shake.
Standing on the treetops and watching the scene of these stone soldiers crossing the border, Shiraishi pondered slightly.
The shadow beneath his feet suddenly lengthened, flowing down the trunk of the tree to the ground, and then turned into a pitch-black shadow blade, sweeping like lightning towards the several stone soldiers marching in front of him.
The Shadow Blade was like a sharp sword sharpened like clay, and the legs of the Stone Soldier's chassis were severed in its pass.
The cut part is as smooth as a mirror.
As if noticing something, hundreds of stone soldiers raised their heads at the same time, their scarlet eyes looking straight towards where the white stone was.
The stone soldiers raised their arms and made a projectile motion.
The hard stone blades rained down like raindrops, projecting an attack towards the white stone.
Boom Boom!
Boom Boom!
The stone blade that was thrown out of it had a terrifying weight in itself, and it was projected with the power of a giant elephant, causing an explosion attack that was even more terrifying than the Ninja Detonation Charm.
Trees fell one by one, causing a rumbling sound of collapse.
Shiraishi sprang between the trees, dodging the stone blades that were thrown into the trees.
Although he is not accustomed to frontal combat, Shiraishi is still able to cope with the projectile attacks of the stone blade by relying on his physical skills.
Moreover, there is also a shadow dancer who blocks most of his attacks, and it is very easy to deal with.
"Noticed?"
Shiraishi's gaze was slightly condensed.
Unlike the stone soldiers in the country of ghosts, the stone soldiers in the country of marsh can defend themselves and fight back, and they can also quickly find the enemy's position and carry out onslaught.
Obviously, the soul of the dragon is located in the territory of the country of swamps, so here, the spirit is more focused, and it is easier to grasp the movements of the gargoyle, which is far more dangerous than the gargoyle soldiers in the territory of the oni country.
"But in this case, the intelligence gathering is almost over, and the next step is to verify a little bit, and now it's time to go to the Volcano Ancestral Hall to end everything."
Shiraishi muttered to himself.
In the face of a supernormal creature like a monster, it is impossible to defeat it with the ninja fighting style.
He had tried many times in the past, but even the Four Elephant Sealing Technique used by the Vortex Clan to suppress the demons had no effect on the Dragons.
Of course, the evil demon in the mouth of the ninja refers to the existence of the Tailed Beast, which is essentially Chakra.
Chakra is just an outward manifestation of the spirit.
The essence of the spirit is always the dark part of the human heart.
Only a shrine maiden, a special species with an 'inhuman' body, can suppress it.
But the shrine maiden has the practice of the shrine maiden, and Shiraishi also has his own considerations.
Anyway, he is the stepfather of Maitreya's daughter Shion, and Maitreya Witch has also given him a lot of help over the years, and at this time, he naturally has to make a contribution, and he can't sit idly by.
It is so pitiful to let the shrine maiden bear this tragic fate for mankind for thousands of years alone.
"You're the ninja who hovers next to Maitreya all the time, right? I know your breath. ”
A creepy voice suddenly sounded in Shiraishi's ears.
Shiraishi subconsciously dodged, but it was still a step too late.
A purple-black mist appeared from the dark woods, and in an instant, it enveloped Shiraishi's entire body.
"Huh?"
In the purple and black mist, a dull voice of doubt sounded.
Then it was strongly resisted by some force, and the purple-black mist bounced off Shiraishi's body, and the color of the light mist also faded a little.
Bai Shi jumped back expressionlessly, staring at the purple and black mist with a cautious look.
He knew that the consciousness of the dragon was lodged in the fog.
"Avoid my perceptual ninjutsu to carry out a sneak attack on me, except for the white eyes, I'm afraid that perceptual ninjutsu will not be effective against you at all."
"It was a brilliant counterattack. Human, you're more interesting than I thought. ”
In the purple and black mist light, a certain dark consciousness praised Baishi so much.
"You should know that your darkness is useless to me."
"You who are able to skillfully use the energy of nature, wrapped in the outer layers of your body, are indeed qualified to say such things. How about joining forces with me? I can give you greater strength. Although the natural energy is good, the dark power of the human heart is more interesting than the natural energy. ”
The dragon is so tempting to raise the white stone.
"I don't want to be a puppet in your hands. And, I've seen through your tricks. ”
Shiraishi said this sentence as if he had seen through the dragon.
"Oh, that's a great confidence. Human beings are always so arrogant and hypocritical, and they are obviously afraid to die. However, no matter how strong a ninja is, he can't defeat me. A word of advice to you, don't come to the ancestral hall, there is only Maitreya who can deal with me in this world. ”
Playing with the dark spirit of the human heart, he is not afraid of the so-called magical ninjutsu of ninjas.
Therefore, Shiraishi, who has the power of nature, can only barely protect himself in front of him.
Shiraishi did not refute.
Indeed, having mastered the natural energy, he can't do it to the point of sealing the spirit.
He has too many selfish desires in his heart, which is a flaw of being human.
As long as there is a flaw in this part, it will be exploited and devoured by the spirits.
"Well, there will be a period later. Someday, you'll be brought to your knees. At that time, let's see the dark kingdom that I have created with my own hands. That's the way the world is. ”
The dragon let out a strange laugh of unknown meaning, and the purple-black light mist continued to fade under the gaze of Shiraishi's eyes, and finally dissolved into the air and disappeared.
The stone statue soldiers who were originally attacking Shiraishi were also controlled by some kind of consciousness, and made a detour, avoiding Shiraishi and heading in another direction.
The White Stone did not stop the Stone Statue Soldiers from marching, and as long as they did not defeat the Dragons, it was pointless to destroy as many Stone Statue Soldiers as they were.

Night.
Huge mountain ranges, shrouded in mist, look eerie and mysterious.
The red torii gate frames the entrance to the cave, from which the sultry air is constantly repelled.
When Shiraishi arrived here, Ruri and Ayane had been waiting here for a long time at the entrance to the cave.
"It's too slow, I came to the country of swamps before us, but I didn't arrive at this time."
This sentence came out of the mouth of Ruri.
"I wasted some time collecting intelligence on the road."
Shiraishi explained.
Ayane glanced at Shiraishi and asked, "Is there anything that needs to be changed in that plan?" If something goes wrong, it's trouble. ”
Shiraishi shook his head and said, "No, continue to act according to the original plan." From the intelligence I've gathered so far, there is no need to make unnecessary changes to the plan. Even if there is a case, there is a solution on my side. ”
Ruri and Ayane nodded.
Since Shiraishi said so, he must be completely sure.
This man would never do something that he was not sure of.
Born without the spirit of an adventurer.
"By the way, there's one more important thing to settle before we go inside."
Shiraishi looked at his shadow.
"Shadow Dancer, come out."
The dark shadows highlight the entity on the ground, culminating in the form of a woman, the Shadow Dancer.
"Father."
"It's a pity, but you can't help in the next battle. Just wait here and don't let anyone in. ”
"Yes."
The shadow dancer nodded, and his body vanished from place, merging with the night around him.
"Is that really okay? She's your most important shield. When the time comes, I will probably not be able to take care of your safety. This time, the opponent is different from Madara Uchiha. ”
Ayane said.
"No way, the risk of using that technique is too high, and the shadow dancer may be injured by mistake. Moreover, I'm not ineffective, at least my physical skills haven't fallen behind all these years......"
Shiraishi said as he sighed when he felt the questioning gaze of Ruri and Ayane.
Well, from these two monsters, their physical skills are indeed a bit unsightly.
The physical skills are good, but compared to most ninjas, these two monsters are no longer in the ranks.
"It's a pity that the yang clone is still a little hot before it can be used. Otherwise, this plan can be said to be foolproof. ”
Shiraishi shook his head helplessly.
There is a feeling that people are not treated at any time.
The three of them stopped communicating and walked towards the cave.
The body of the dragon was sealed inside the volcanic ancestral hall.
The pavement in the cave has been artificially trimmed and spread out relatively flat.
In the recesses on both sides of the mountain wall, candlesticks are inlaid with candlesticks, and the flame of the candles is not enough to illuminate the entire cave road, so some places still appear dimly lit.
In this dark cavern, more footsteps suddenly sounded from the front.
Their eyes shimmered with scarlet, and their bodies were surrounded by a dark and eerie aura.
Physically, they are not stone soldiers running rampant outside, but a group of living humans.
Shiraishi saw the clothes and ornaments that these people were wearing, they were ninjas from Sand Hide, Cloud Hide, and Iwakure, respectively.
"I was still wondering how the ninja spies from all over the world who secretly infiltrated the country of ghosts suddenly disappeared, so that's what happened."
Shiraishi observes these ninjas who have been controlled by the spirits.
The hearts of these ninjas have obviously been baptized by the dark power of the dragons, and they have become puppet soldiers like gargoyles.
However, compared to the gargoyle soldiers outside, this group of ninja puppets controlled by the dragons is more dangerous than the gargoyle soldiers.
Not only did he retain the ninjutsu he did before his death, but he was also specially strengthened by the Dragon, and his strength was stronger than that of his life.
Click!
The leading Yunyin ninja made a very exaggerated rotation and twisting movement of his neck, and even heard the sound of bones shattering, tilted his head, and grinned evil at the corner of his mouth.
Beneath his skin, snake-like creatures squirmed and scurried around at a rapid pace.
It made his face look even more hideous and terrifying.
Then, like some strange species, he fell on all fours, roared the roar of a beast from his mouth, and the purple-black chakrapo spread out of his mouth, easily blowing a storm that tore through the rocks, and launched an attack on the three Shiraishi.
