The light spread, and the air seemed to ripple in layers.

Kakashi, who was close at hand, was slightly stunned by the white light.

Some time ago, I learned the true identity of the masked man, and I was reminded by Orochimaru-sama that I was determined to draw a line with Obito, but although reason decided to do so, I couldn't help but feel some resentment and depression in my heart.

However, at this time, these negative emotions seem to be cleansed away with the reflection of these lights, and the mind suddenly feels relaxed.

"No wonder those villagers in the Land of Oni have such respect for shrine maidens, even if it's just a little girl about six years old."

Kakashi suddenly felt in his heart that when he went to greet Shion before, he felt that the attitude of those villagers was really strange.

You must know that even the Konoha Hokage, the object of everyone's respect is only pointed to the three generations of individuals, that is, his child Ape Fei Asma, although there are some preferential treatments, but let everyone admire them from the bottom of their hearts, and they have to do something practical by themselves.

"With this ability, it's no wonder that the country of ghosts is small, and there aren't even many ninjas, but it has been able to survive from the Sengoku to the present."

Kakashi was pondering the origin of the unity of the villagers of the Oni Country, when a scream woke him up.

In front of him, the monster that was a little wild and unruly no matter what treatment he encountered, seemed to be suffering greatly at this time.

The terrible voice seemed to be squeezed directly out of his throat, and his limbs and neck struggled uncontrollably, and the red tongue was even chapped by the stone locks, and the blood red mixed with the mucus and fell to the wooden platform.

"It's unbelievable."

Kakashi's glasses widened slightly.

If it weren't for the warm, soft glow that was as good as it always was, he almost thought he was hallucinating.

My honey, his arsenic...... It's almost the best interpretation of the scene in front of you.

What surprised Kakashi even more was that the screams of the youkai were a little upset and unsettled in his ears, and the ordinary villagers underground had even blocked their ears, but this little girl, who was a little nervous just now, was surprisingly calm at this time, with a maturity that did not belong to this age on her immature face.

"Is it true, as His Excellency Maitreya said, Shion is a genius witch that is rare to see in a hundred years?"

Kakashi felt more than that, he could clearly feel a strange fluctuation when the transparent container was crushed just now.

Although the "Spiritual Transformation Technique" was not suitable for his fighting style, it seemed that his spiritual power had strengthened a lot by entering and leaving the Pure Land many times.

Therefore, he could clearly perceive that this witch was very similar to Orochimaru-sama who had performed immortal magic, and just now, her own aura changed.

"There seems to be something else in this little girl......

Just as he was thinking about it, a strange sound of flesh tearing suddenly sounded on the high platform.

The monster kappa was covered in blood, and its sharp beak pecked at the nearby asters, as if it would burst out in the next moment, killing him on the spot.

Kakashi reacted quickly and struck almost immediately, but there was one man who was even faster than him.

I saw that the red stone held up by the little girl's palm was vaporizing and dissolving at an extremely fast speed, and on the contrary, the light on her body shone brightly.

The screams stopped abruptly, and the monster kappa froze directly in place, its body vaporizing and dissolving like ice and snow in the scorching sun, dissipating into streaks of white smoke.

"That's a ......."

Kakashi's movements also stopped, staring at everything in front of him, and his eyes couldn't help but widen a little.

Although I knew that youkai were different from people, the impact of the other party's way of death, the impact of the picture still surpassed the common sense of ninjas.

But just when everyone thought that the purification ceremony was over and the tense spirit relaxed, the long tongue that had been torn by the kappa himself suddenly floated with invisible force and whipped down like a long whip, and the target was the main priest of the ceremony, Shion.

And at this time, as the power of the red stone was exhausted, Aster no longer had the majesty of Fang Cai, and her limbs were weak like a normal little girl, and she couldn't react.

Kakashi's reaction was also a beat slower because of the impact just now, but fortunately, it was double

Fang was close enough, and he was still sure that the rescue would be timely.

But just like just now, a ghostly figure came to Ziyuan first, and grabbed the red tongue.

Sneer......

There was a hot heat in his palm, and Orochimaru gripped the long tongue even harder.

However, just as the kappa had been dissipated before, the monster's remaining organs also turned into a cloud of black smoke, as if the power of that draw had consumed all the energy, but only returned to the light.

"Orochimaru-sama, are you alright?" Kakashi had some self-reproach on his face.

The protection of the witch of the Oni Country should have been his job.

Orochimaru looked at the black mark in his palm and shook his head slightly.

"You need to deal with this."

At this time, Shion, who had recovered from the mutation just now, ran over in small steps, and she didn't care about the beads of sweat on her head, and hurriedly took out some strange ointment from the witch's pocket.

"There's no need for that, I'm fine."

Orochimaru glanced at Shion, and suddenly walked in the direction where the kappa had disappeared.

He brushed aside the ash-like residue of the furnace and found a light blue crystal.

This is very similar to the one hanging on the aster bracelet before, except that the red one is only the size of a broad bean, and this one is barely less than a quail egg.

But with Orochimaru's eyesight, he naturally didn't just see the difference in volume, he looked at this crystal carefully, his eyes narrowed slightly, "This is actually the crystallization of natural energy."

He had been given a snake scale by the White Snake Immortal, and later passed it on to the Medicine Master, which could be said to be the same as the crystal in his hand now.

It's just a kind of white snake natural energy that contains the second digestion, and a kind of natural energy that should perhaps be said to be ordinary.

"This breath is somewhat similar to the natural energy that I forcibly absorbed when I practiced the breathing method."

Just as he was thinking about it, Orochimaru's ear suddenly heard a little girl's timid voice, "That, can you give this back to me?" It's something left over from the youkai cleansing, and it's kind of the reward we promised."

Orochimaru lowered his head slightly, glanced at it, and the trumpet witch immediately lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes.

It could be seen that she was a little afraid of the aura on Orochimaru's body, but it was obvious that getting this crystal was something that had to be done, so she didn't even flinch at all.

At this time, Ashiho, who was a guard, also stepped forward and said solemnly, "Your Excellency Orochimaru, this is one of the rewards for the shrine maiden-sama to come and retreat from the youkai, please don't make it difficult for us."

"Heh......

Orochimaru chuckled and tossed it over.

The natural energy contained in this crystal is, in a sense, more suitable for ninjas to absorb than in snake scales, but it is not enough to make him covetous.

Without him, the number is too scarce.

If he had seen this kind of thing before he practiced immortal arts, he might have tried to contact natural energy with it, but now it can only be a chicken rib.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru's eyes narrowed slightly, "Could it be that the witch of the Demon Country relied on this thing to try to cultivate that kind of witchcraft?"

If that's the case, it's not surprising why the shrine maiden continues to decline.

Without the youkai, the witch who practiced witchcraft with the products obtained from the purification of the youkai will naturally disappear with it.

After all, even an immortal genius like Yao Shidou, if he hadn't survived the first generation of cell transplantation surgery and rashly came into contact with natural energy, there was a high probability that he would have died miserably.

"However, the means of defeating the monsters are indeed very valuable."

Orochimaru looked at Shion, a little aura suddenly flashed in his mind, and he disappeared directly in place.

Seeing Orochimaru leaving, Shion breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and hurriedly wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve.

"Shion-sama, please put it away."

The guard Ashiho carefully held the light blue spar and respectfully handed it over.

"Oh, okay...... It's pretty big." Shion rummaged through his sleeve pockets for a while, and then

Take out a suitable container and put the hedron inside.

Although the hedron turned into a monster is strong, the energy in the other side can easily escape, and if it is not stored properly, it can easily become a waste product.

……

"Youkai, this is destroyed?"

On the roof of a guesthouse, Naruto smacked his lips with a look of regret.

Although he had never seen this scene before, and it was also wonderful, it ended so quickly that it was really unpleasant.

After complaining casually, he found that Xiang Phosphorus did not complain like before, but looked blankly ahead, Naruto said in surprise, "What are you looking at, isn't it all over, Orochimaru-sama is gone."

"No, look over there......

Xiangpho's face flushed slightly, and he raised his hand to point ahead and exclaimed, "Look at that kid...... It's cool."

"......" Naruto was immediately unhappy when he heard Kaori say this, but when he saw the young man's eyes calm and his face with a maturity that did not match his age, his breathing stagnated slightly, "This guy is a little cool."

"It's not that, it's a small one."

Kaori busily corrected Naruto's misconceptions.

"Little man?" Naruto's gaze shifted slightly, and then he saw the boy that Kaori was pointing at, and he couldn't help but let out a soft snort.

The small one and the big one look very similar, and they also have a bit of a cold feeling, and they look like brothers.

But it's very obvious that the older brother is really cool, and the little one is just imitating, pretending to be cool from the inside out, what's the big deal.

But the phosphine seems to eat the smaller one.

"Xiang Phosphorus, your vision is really bad." Naruto said casually, in exchange for an angry glare, and he had to shut his mouth in a huff.

But looking at the boy, he couldn't help but feel a little comparative, and said secretly, "Really, what is the stinky fart, one day I will teach you a lesson."

「……」

Itachi sensed a slight hostility and turned his head to look in Naruto's direction.

It doesn't matter if it's for himself, after all, as the eldest son of the Uchiha patriarch, this kind of thing is just ordinary, but the hostility towards Sasuke is a little strange.

But seeing the identity of the other party, Itachi felt a little sudden in his heart, "It turned out to be that child."

He recognized the current Nine-Tails Zhu Li, and even he knew that his mother seemed to have a good relationship with the deceased previous Ren Zhu Li.

"Brother, is there anything over there?"

Sasuke looked strangely at Itachi, who was suddenly deep in thought.

"Nothing, just a cat." Itachi shook his head, then continued, "Now that the youkai have been destroyed, let's go home, and in a short time, Mother should have dinner ready."

"That's right." Sasuke turned his head to leave his doubts behind him.

……

In the Hokage's temporary office, while dealing with the affairs of the village, the three generations took the time to glance at the report that Orochimaru had just submitted.

"Immortal ...... The Oni no Kuni Maiden is indeed using some kind of magic that uses the energy of nature?"

Miyo took a puff of his pipe and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Let Orochimaru confirm it for me, it's a party person."

If you are a bystander, even if it is a tsunade, I am afraid you can't see any doorway, and you have a specialization in the art industry, and the interlacing is like a mountain.

"But it's surprising that after the youkai are purified, they can still leave that kind of thing."

The third generation was also interested in the spar, but it was only interested.

After all, even if she managed to get the means to use the hedron from the country of ghosts, the shrine maiden ...... There is no combat power.

Although they can be called the restraint of natural enemies against youkai, they can deal with people and ninjas...... The effect is very mediocre.

It can only be said that it is a good thing to use in a certain scene...... Tool.

"To purify the filth and purify people's negative emotions, the power of the shrine maiden may also have a certain effect on the box of bliss."

The third generation slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, "Orochimaru's speculation does have some truth, but in this way, it is not easy to let this witch go back."

Although there are not many chakras in the Bliss Box now, some of the residues in it are still very dangerous, and it is also an unstable bomb for Konoha For this kind of thing, if it can be dealt with, the three generations will never want to let go of this opportunity.

After a moment of silence, Miyo drafted a letter, summoned a contact ninja, and instructed, "Send this letter to Her Excellency the Shrine Maiden of the Oni Country."

Now the asters are still in Konoha, just a few additional matters, but they don't have to be as solemn as before.

"Yes." Konoha took the letter and disappeared directly.

……

"What...... We're going to stay here for a while?"

In the small building of the embassy, Shion was taken aback when she heard the news, "Didn't you say that this time you only have to destroy youkai?"

"This is an order from Lord Maitreya, and your previous performance has made Konoha very satisfied, so they will add some additional commissions."

Guardian Ashiho paused here and asked, "You hate Konoha and don't want to live here for a while?"

"Not really."

Shion sat back in her chair and leaned back, "It's just that there are a lot of people here, and it's not as familiar as the country of ghosts."

"I see."

Guardian Ashiho suddenly understood that this rejection was just due to the fear of children, so he said, "Actually, in addition to many people here, there are many delicious and fun things, let's try them all after work."

"That's right......" Shion stood up from her chair and laughed, "That's great."
