Chapter 54: The Land of Ghosts
"Forget it, let's feel it first."
Generally speaking, the chakra of a ninja who cultivates with "Stars" will eventually turn into the same purple chakras as "Stars".
But when Sasuke urged the "star", his immortal chakra did not change at all, even though he could clearly sense that the "star" had been trying to assimilate, but it was as useless as a mayfly shaking a tree.
"What is this?"
The exclamation of summer is naturally because of the peculiar change of the "stars".
When the ninjas of the Star Ninja Village were cultivating, the "star" would emit a lilac chakra, but at this time, a bright purple light appeared from the hole of the "star".
"It's greedy."
Sasuke has discovered that the "star" with chakra is more of an instinctive piece of "flesh and blood" than life.
Instinctively devouring Chakra, but its size was too small for even an ordinary ninja to feed him.
But if it develops for a long time, it may become what it will become in thousands of years.
After Sasuke stopped urging, the light of the "star" flickered several times, but eventually dimmed.
"It may be a bit straightforward, but you'd better destroy it, or else..."
Sasuke's words were not finished, but the weirdness of the "stars" was the best preaching.
"I understand Your Excellency's reasoning, but after all, the 'star' is a treasure that we have relied on since the establishment of the village, so..."
The meaning of the three generations of star shadows, Sasuke can naturally understand.
"That's all I have to say, then I should..."
At this moment, Akashi's roar suddenly came from outside the door.
"Damn it, I'm not going to let you take the 'stars', Peacock Magic."
The purple chakra struck instantly, but the target was not Sasuke, but the enshrined "star".
Curious, Sasuke didn't organize Akashi's movements, after all, he also wanted to know what the other party would do.
After holding the "star" in his hand, Akashi pressed the "star" directly on his chest.
"Ah~"
After a wail of pain, Akashi gradually merged with the "star", and the peacock magic chakra behind him directly turned into a beast and attached to Akashi.
"It's kind of like Orochimaru's curse mark, but the nature is completely different."
In the face of Akashi's changes, Sasuke is a little interested, but before that, he naturally wants to defeat him.
After the transformation, Akashi didn't say a word, just silently attacked Sasuke.
"Unconscious?"
After kicking Akashi out of his cultivation with a kick, Sasuke put his hand on the Scarlet Blade.
"Do you still need that?"
The three generations of Star Shadow were stunned for a moment, and then they thought of what Sasuke meant by what he said.
After a long struggle, I made a difficult decision.
"Your Excellency, do it, don't worry about the 'stars'."
After hearing this, the corners of Sasuke's mouth gradually hooked.
"Well said."
Holding his breath and raising his breath, Sasuke, who was holding the Imperial Sword, rushed forward and pressed down at the same time.
Secret Technique: Dragon Flame Slash.
The fiery fire dragon instantly shattered the star on Akashi's chest.
The Peacock Magic is strong, but it has a fatal flaw, and that is that it cannot move when controlling the chakra.
Even if Akashi is possessed by a "star", this defect has not improved much.
The three generations of Star Shadow and Summer looked at the "stars" that were destroyed by a knife, a little sentimental, but more relieved.
After all, this is equivalent to the stone that was crushing on the top of the head of the Star Ninja Village.
"Although the destruction of the 'star' is agreed to by you, after all, the cause of the accident is mine, is there anything I need to compensate for?"
Don't look at Sasuke saying this, but the three generations of Star Shadow don't have any intention of blackmailing.
After all, from the crushing battle just now, it can be seen that even if the Star Ninja Village rushes up, it won't be able to last a few rounds under the opponent's hands.
"No, not necessarily."
Seeing that the other party didn't "mind", Sasuke didn't say anything more.
"The role of the 'star' is to increase cultivation by activating chakra, and if you encounter something similar in the future, I will try to get one for you."
Although he made such a promise, it could only depend on luck, after all, if this kind of thing was so easy to come across, would it be his turn?
And after a few conversations, Sasuke set out on his journey again.
After the country of bears, it is the country of ghosts, which is extremely mysterious in the ninja world.
Legend has it that there was once a terrifying demon haunted here, but it was sealed away by the shrine maidens of the Oni Country at their own expense.
But it is also because of this that the country of ghosts rarely communicates with the outside world, and only a few words circulate in the ninja world.
Although the environment of the Oni Country is not as fertile as that of the Bird Country, it can be regarded as densely forested.
But after leaving the country of ghosts and entering the country of stones, there is no grass there.
This is because even if there are the means of the Six Realms Immortals, the land of the Stone Country will inevitably be eroded by the crazy natural energy outside the ninja world.
However, compared to the forbidden area of life outside the ninja world, although the country of stone is barren, it will not erode life in vain.
When he came to the country of ghosts, Sasuke naturally would not skip the capital of the country of ghosts.
Slightly different from other countries, the shrine maidens of the Oni no Kuni Country assume the status and role of the Daimyo.
Ninjas, on the other hand, have completely disappeared here, and even wandering ninjas rarely haunt here.
It is said that it is because the shrine maiden has evil powers and will devour the life around them.
And such rumors spread so widely that even wandering ninjas avoided this place.
Unlike the Land of Birds or the Land of Rain, the inhabitants of this place give Sasuke a feeling of numbness for some reason.
It is not the numbness of being oppressed to the point of despair, but the numbness of the whole society that is completely solidified.
In other words, one day is a day, and no one cares what tomorrow brings.
"Is it because of the legendary demon? But I don't think so..."
These questions were so deep that Sasuke could only intuitively feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell the reason at all.
After all, Sasuke, who is only nine years old, still doesn't have much experience.
Sasuke, who was walking down the street and looking around, suddenly noticed a samurai walking in front of him.
Ordinary people?
Looking at the samurai in front of him, Sasuke could clearly feel that the other party had never refined chakra.
"Your Excellency, please stay."
Sasuke stopped and looked at the man in front of him.
Ashiho bowed his head and asked with a serious face.
"Lord Shion, I hope you can go and meet her."
Before coming here, Shion had already told Sasuke that he was a powerful ninja, so he had to be very respectful.
"Aster? Who's that? ”
It sounds like a woman, so Sasuke is wondering if the other party is the witch from the Oni Country.
"Shion-sama is a shrine maiden in the land of demons."
When Aster was mentioned, Ashiho's face could not hide his pride.
"Shrine maiden? It looks interesting, so let's go meet it. ”
Sasuke didn't expect to be summoned by the legendary shrine maiden as soon as he arrived in the national capital, and he was sure that no one was watching him.
In other words, the other party observed his appearance by means that Sasuke did not know.
Intrigued, Sasuke decided to meet him in person.
