Two days later.

Two black-robed figures walked through the woods and the river, standing on a high cliff, looking down on the land called the Land of Demons, far from their homeland.

"Based on the speed of the carrier pigeon's flight and the time we were on our way, more than five days have passed since the shrine maidens of the Oni Country sent a letter of request for help to the surrounding ninja villages, right?"

The Dry Persimmon Ghost Jiao couldn't help but frown as he looked down at the ruins of the town below, which had been reduced to ruins in the flames, and was full of charred corpses with weapons and bloodstains that had been burned black and stinking by the flames.

"Don't the soldiers let go, and the civilians don't let go either? This is indeed very much in line with the mental state of a madman who has an immortal ghost army in control and wants to conquer the entire ninja world......"

"Not only that, but the traces of the march left in the ruins are also very strange," Uchiha Shisui, who was also wearing a red cloud robe on a black background, opened his three-hooked jade writing wheel eye, and observed the details that the ghost friends couldn't see from a distance, "It's not like a human footprint, and it's a little too neat...... And there are a lot of broken weapon wreckage around......"

"In this way, whether the immortal bodies of those things are real or not, it is a fact that they have very good defense...... That's bad news for people in this country. ”

"Heh, it's worthy of being a genius who was brought around by the four generations regardless of the difference in position, and the ability to analyze intelligence is very good, Uchiha Shishui."

Listening to the insincerity of the ghost friend and the compliment, Uchiha Shisui didn't mean to go back, he took out a map depicting the terrain of the country of ghosts and its surrounding countries from his pocket, marked the area where the two of them were currently located, and then grabbed the little white snake that was lying on the back of his neck on the seal of the heavenly curse back into his sleeve, while continuing to analyze:

"Our first goal is to make peace with the shrine maidens of the Oni Country, not only to establish the mission with the nod of the Oni Nation Shrine Maiden, but also to learn more from her about the Oni Nation and his legions."

"But the problem now is that this town is not far from the town where the Oni no Kuni Shrine Maiden lived, and if all the towns at this distance have become like this, I'm worried about whether the town of the Oni Nation Shrine Maiden has been breached......

"Even if the town is breached, as long as the shrine maiden is not dead, the mission can still be carried out." Oniko didn't worry too much about this, but raised his hand and pointed to a small river that flowed through the town where the shrine maiden lived, "Let's go, let's follow this river and see if we can find the soldiers of this country, or those who know the whereabouts of the shrine maiden." ”

"Why go down the river?"

"If the things that invaded the country of ghosts are indeed ghosts, then they will be injured and bleeding, and the ones who need to be cleaned and bandaged must be humans," a terrible smile appeared on the face of the demon to stop the night cry of children, "and when it comes to the ability to recover the smell of blood, the sharks in the water will definitely not lose to anything." ”

"Okay, let's try to find the mission target according to your plan first, Mr. Ghost Friend."

After a moment of thought, the Uchiha nodded and agreed to the Oni's proposal, and the figures of the two disappeared again, quickly heading towards the next target area.

……

"Well, it seems that the first cooperation between the two of them is quite harmonious, so it doesn't look like there will be too much conflict...... You should be able to help me complete the task of testing the actual combat effect of the improved version of the Heavenly Curse Seal, right? ”

Kaguya Ren put down the finger he pressed on his right eye, and withdrew his vision of using the Heavenly Curse Seal and the psychic white snake to remotely monitor the two of them, and then stretched and squinted at Mitarai Red Bean, who was grabbing a few strings of dumplings and a red bean soup.

"Although I don't have a problem with growing children eating more, if you eat and drink carbohydrates like this, the fat can easily accumulate where it shouldn't, red beans?"

"So what does it matter? Anyway, the fourth generation, you have to use me as an experimental subject in your spell mark experiment, compared to the consumption when activating the spell mark, what is this nutrient intake? Uhh

Probably because she ate while talking, Mitarai Red Bean was unsurprisingly choked, and she pounded her chest hard, which had begun to take shape, and after swallowing the dumplings with all her might, Mitarai Red Bean wiped the sweat from her forehead in fear, and looked at Kasaya Ren who was laughing on the side with dissatisfaction.

"What, what's wrong!? Am I not right? ”

"It's not entirely wrong, it's just that at the moment, the curse mark on your body is the heavenly spell mark that has been reconstructed and perfected by my hands, and its main function is still to squeeze the chakra and improve combat effectiveness, and the effect is not very good in controlling the body's nutritional intake......

Kaguya Ren shook her head, supported her face with one hand and said with a smile:

"Based on your current calorie intake, you need to turn on Spell Seal Status 2 at least once and maintain it for more than a minute before you can burn off the excess calories you consume this meal......

Mitarai's face suddenly collapsed, and she looked at the sugared version of the red bean soup in front of her that she hadn't finished drinking, and said depressedly:

"Then you should have started developing the kind of spell mark used to control your body earlier, ...... the fourth generation."

"What's the matter, it's changed again?" Kaguya Ren replied casually while sorting out the development materials about the Heavenly Curse Seal that she had in hand, "Who was the person who begged me to develop and improve the Heavenly Curse Seal as soon as possible, and then share the information with Orochimaru?" Why can't I remember her name? ”

"That, that's different," Mitarai Red Bean subconsciously touched the Heavenly Curse Seal on the side of his neck that had been reconstructed and perfected by Kaguya, and whispered in defense:

"Yes, it's because the fourth generation said that the forbidden art of the curse mark has no secrets in front of you, and you can complete the development of the heavenly curse mark by doing it casually, and cut off most of the side effects, so I hope you can give priority to the development of this ......"

"Didn't I quickly complete the subsequent development of the Heavenly Curse Seal?"

Kaguya tilted her head slightly, smiled gently and said to her experimental materials:

"The side effects of the Heavenly Curse Seal State 1 have basically been eliminated, and the burden on the body and the consumption of life span of the Heavenly Curse Seal State 2 have also been reduced to the extent that it is not a price for the desperate moves of the upper ninja, and the only problem that still exists now is that the caster must be proficient in the Dragon Earth Cave Immortal Technique......"

"But for Orochimaru-sama, isn't it completely useless to become a Heavenly Curse Seal like this?" Mitarai Red Bean bit his lip and begged in a very humble tone: "Can't, can you solve this problem again, four generations of adults?" ”

"That can't be helped, after all, all the developments and modifications I have made to the Heavenly Curse Seal are all based on the fact that I have mastered the Dragon Earth Cave Immortal Technique, so I can only proceed." Kaguya shrugged her shoulders and said with a nonchalant expression:

"If Orochimaru can't learn this pre-knowledge by himself, why don't you just find a way to cultivate a subordinate who has the ability to learn the Dragon Earth Cave Immortal Technique? In terms of his ability, it shouldn't be very difficult to recruit a loyal and unbetrayed subordinate to help him complete this matter, right? ”

……

"Hiss......"

A sudden desire to sneeze hit Orochimaru, but he restrained it well, and he stood in his secret base full of experimental materials and equipment, looking at the information he had received with great difficulty from the secret informant he had left in the roots, and his face was full of gloom.

"Pocket...... The genius I fancied, why did you go undercover in the Land of Water because of the mission given by Tuan Zang before his death when I needed you? ”
