Chapter 695: Stay Alive
After returning to the village, Shinji first contacted Yakumo using 'Naobi', and at night he sneaked directly into the Kurama clan's clan mansion and came to Yakumo's room.
Yakumo, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly greeted him: "My lord! β
"Hmm!"
Shinji nodded and walked into Yakumo's bedroom.
"My lord, the people of Dark Dawn attacked and captured the two pillars of Rock Hidden Village, I followed the ninja army of the village to support, and fought fiercely with the people of Dark Dawn for a few rounds, because I was afraid of revealing my identity, so I couldn't save the two people of Rock Hidden Village, please punish you!"
Yakumo apologized and reported to Shinji about the previous operation of Konoha to rescue Iwakuin Village.
Shinji said, "It's not your responsibility. β
Yakumo hurriedly asked, "My lord, when will we start fighting back?" Take the Four Tails and Five Tails back from Dawn? β
"No action for the time being."
Shinji shook his head.
He had actually considered snatching the Tailed Beast, but after weighing it carefully, he felt that there was no need to wade into this troubled water.
First, the body of the 'Ten Tails', the 'Outer Path Golem', was in Nagato's hands.
Second, snatching the tailed beast will inevitably have to fight with the five ninja villages.
Therefore, instead of snatching the nine-tailed beasts with the five major ninja villages, and snatching the 'Outer Dao Golem' with the Xiao Organization, it is better to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and let the Xiao Organization do this thankless task.
Shinji's answer left Yakumo confused, "My lord, are we watching Dark Dawn collect tailed beasts?" β
After a moment's hesitation, Shinji showcased: "Yes. β
Yakumo's face was full of puzzlement: "Why?!" β
Shinji looked Yakumo in the eye: "Before telling you the reason, I have a question, are you willing to be my attendant and always be loyal to me?" β
Yakumo didn't answer immediately, but thought for a while and said, "Everything I have now is given by you, and without you, I'm just a cripple who can't even be a ninja, so I'm willing to be your attendant and offer my loyalty to you!" β
"Good!"
Shinji bowed slightly.
Immediately, he activated the authority of the 'lamp' and designated Yakumo as his 'attendant'.
After he officially became the 'Lantern Bearer', the number of his 'Attendants' was increased from the previous two to four.
In other words, in addition to the previous Bai and Xiangpho, he can also recruit two more waiters who can be protected by his own 'lamp' and are not afraid of pollution.
Later, because the pollution of the demon world to the ninja world could not be contained, Shinji never used these two places, and now he wants to inform Yakumo about the overlord, so he can only recruit Yakumo as a 'waiter' first, otherwise, when Yakumo learns the overlord's information, she will be polluted by the overlord.
As for who the last remaining 'waiter' spot will be, Shinji hasn't figured it out yet.
It could be Shion, it could be Ninji, or even Sasuke. In short, whoever of the three of them can achieve a breakthrough in strength first, who may become the last 'waiter' of Shinji.
After confirming that Yakumo had been protected by his 'lamp', Shinji said slowly, "Do you remember the red light hidden in the clouds in the Demon Slayer World? β
Yakumo didn't know why the leader suddenly mentioned this, but he still nodded: "Well, I'm very impressed, that red light gives me a bad feeling, and Ido doesn't even dare to look directly at those red lights. β
Shinji said in a deep voice: "That's the power that overflowed when the overlord was gnawing at the world barrier!" β
"Overlord?! Gnawing at the world's barriers? Is it a barrier to destroy the world? Yakumo was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "The end of the world that destroys the world, is this what it refers to?" β
She always thought that the source of the apocalypse of the demon destroying world was Ryuhei RyΕ«hei, the ghost king's house.
Therefore, after defeating Ryuhei in the delivery house, the Demon Slayer World has not changed, and it is still in a state of depression and collapse, which makes her faintly uneasy.
It wasn't until now, after listening to Shinji's explanation, that she realized that the source of the end of the Demon Slayer was a thing called 'Overlord'.
Shinji nodded slowly: "Yes, the invasion of the Demon Slayer World on our ninja world is also because the overlord is eyeing them, so they want us to become substitute ghosts!" β
Yakumo digested it for a while before asking, "My lord, what exactly is the overlord?" β
Shinji shook his head: "What it is, what it looks like, what abilities it has, I don't know!" All I know is that it feeds on the world, chasing one world after another in the universe, and all the worlds it targets have only one fate, and that is to become food in its belly! β
Yakumo was speechless in shock.
Shinji continued: "It is now devouring the Demon Slayer World, and because of the pollution of the Demon Slayer World to our ninja world, the overlord has also peeked into our ninja world, so his next target is us. β
Yakumo wondered, "Pollution? β
"Everything in other worlds, even information, can be seen as a pollution in the ninja world. And this pollution will bring the two worlds closer to each other, and when the pollution expands to a certain extent, the two worlds will overlap in time and space, that is, they will literally collide together and destroy each other! β
"In the past, the frequent invasion of the Demon Slayer World into our ninja world has exacerbated this pollution, causing our two worlds to be too close. Now that the Demon Slayer World is being devoured by the Overlord, we don't have to worry about the two worlds colliding together. However, due to the proximity of the two sides, the overlord who devoured the Demon Slayer World could also follow the pollution and find our ninja world. β
"Any information about the overlord is also a kind of pollution, which will increase the speed at which the overlord senses the ninja world, and only after becoming my attendant can I shield the pollution. So you must first become my attendant before I can tell you everything! β
Shinji told Yakumo what 'pollution' was, what the consequences of 'pollution' would cause, how to block 'pollution', and so on.
Yakumo struggled to accept this disturbing information, and his face was extremely gloomy.
After a long time, she said, "I know why you didn't take action, because you want to use the 'Ten Tails' to fight the overlord?" β
Shinji bowed slightly.
The words are so clear, it's normal for Yakumo to guess this.
Yakumo then asked, "Does Dawn know all of this?" What is their relationship with us? β
Shinji said, "They don't know about the Overlord, and we're not in the same league as them!" Their purpose is to dominate the ninja world, and they want to bring some level of peace to the ninja world in their own way! And our purpose is simple, that is, to keep the ninja world alive! β
