In the northern part of the Land of Fire, on the side of the mountain road, in the face of Haruno Sakura's teasing, Ashiho showed a wry smile on his face and said, "Haruno-sama, it's really fast, but my body is about to fall apart." ”

"Okay, I'll use it next, it's not far anyway." Sakura Haruno patted him on the shoulder and walked forward with Kiritani Momiji.

Ashiho immediately stood up and said with a serious face: "No, Lord Haruno, let's use the speed of rigidity, I can bear it." ”

"Are you sure?" Sakura Haruno raised her eyebrows and looked back, "You might really die." ”

If Sakura Haruno hadn't relieved him with his soul power just now, he would probably have been in a coma for two or three days.

"It's okay, I can do it just now, Lord Aster needs us." Masasei said.

Sakura Haruno grinned, smiled kindly, and said:

"Okay, then you don't want to die."

……

After another ten minutes, the three of them successfully arrived in the country of ghosts, and this time, Sakura Haruno did not relieve Ashiho, but directly carried him towards the village of shrine maidens.

The village of shrine maidens is the place where the shrine maidens of the Oni no Kuni are resided, and according to the ancestral teachings left behind in ancient times, the people here have the duty to protect the shrine maidens.

However, due to the shrine maiden's ability to predict death, most people do not want to take on this role, but want to stay away from the shrine maiden, as far away as possible.

After all, people are afraid of death, and the witch's ability to predict death is more like a curse and a curse to everyone who dies.

However, when Sakura Haruno approached the village of the shrine maiden with Ashui, the villagers were still hostile to her, and immediately contacted the shrine of the witch goddess, and then gathered a group of villagers to come out and block the way.

It seems that this Shoho is also a good person in the village, at least this group of civilians can stand up for him.

"Who are you, let go of the full ear!" A man armed with a worn-out katana stood up and yelled at Sakura Haruno.

"He just got motion sickness, I didn't touch him." Sakura Haruno shrugged her shoulders and put Ashi on the ground.

When the man saw Sakura Haruno's attitude, he was slightly stunned, and asked hesitantly, "Who are you?" ”

"He invited me to see the shrine maiden." Sakura Haruno pointed to the foot on the ground and said.

The man frowned slightly, and Ashui was now unconscious on the ground, and the woman's words were unconvincing.

However, the person behind her looks very strong, and he is probably a ninja, so if he gets on it like this, it may affect everyone......

For a moment, the man hesitated, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, a team of black clothes and high hats dressed like Ashiho ran over, pushed through the crowd, and came to Sakura Haruno, one of whom shouted to the civilians:

"This is Sakura-sama Haruno, a guest invited by Lord Aster."

Then he glanced at the foot on the ground again, and said respectfully to Haruno Sakura, "Haruno Sakura-sama, Aster-sama is already waiting." ”

At this moment, the vanity in Haruno Sakura's heart jumped slightly, it turned out that she was already so famous, and there were people to greet her everywhere, this feeling was ...... That's nice!

Sakura Haruno shook her head slightly, put aside the messy thoughts in her heart, pointed to the foot on the ground, and said, "He's a little sick from the car, just take him to sleep." ”

But she didn't say a word, this sleep time is a bit long, it is estimated that it will take three or two days.

However, who let this person do things without rules, it is common sense to ask a ninja to help and pay for it, and Ashiho came to the door empty-handed, and it was very good that Sakura Haruno didn't kick him away.

Sakura Haruno walked forward with the autumn leaves of Kiritani, and the crowd in front of her also avoided them.

Although Aster is alienated by the people here, she is the ruler of the Witch Village after all, and she has never bullied them in normal times, so they have respect for Aster.

The two followed Aster's guards all the way to the shrine where Aster lived, and the guards disbanded, and one of the guards named Suzuki led the two to Aster's living room.

When Sakura Haruno and the others walked to the front of the living room, the door was closed, and Suzuki didn't open it for them, just bowed slightly, and then walked away.

Sakura Haruno and Momiji Kiriya glanced at each other, stretched out their hands, pushed open the wooden door, and looked into the house.

In the room, Aster, who had long blond hair, was sitting on the floor in a wide dress, and after seeing Sakura Haruno pushing the door, after carefully identifying it, she bowed down and said, "I've seen Sakura-sama Haruno, it's an honor for you to be here." ”

Haruno Sakura was slightly stunned, and then a little helpless, just come up and do such a big gift, I haven't learned this kind of etiquette, how can this happen.

Kiritani Momiji saw her embarrassment, and said lightly: "Don't worry, she is showing her identity and saluting you as an inferior person." ”

Kiriya Momiji received her mother's aristocratic etiquette education when she was a child, and although it is useless now, she still remembers the basic common sense.

Sakura Haruno frowned slightly, looked at Aster, who was still leaning over, and didn't step into the room, but asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Sakura Haruno was sure that she and Aster were meeting for the first time, and she didn't think it was right why Aster was in this gesture.

"I beg Sakura-sama Haruno to help Aster seal the Dragon." Aster said with her head down.

Sakura Haruno shook her head slightly, and said, "You didn't ask someone to do something, you have to get up first." ”

Aster was slightly stunned, then slowly got up and looked at Haruno Sakura.

At this time, Haruno Sakura and the two saw the appearance of this witch Aster, with long golden hair and a slightly pale skin, plus a pair of big eyes, she looked quite good.

Sakura Haruno was in a slight trance, and the memories that had been sealed for a long time came to her mind, and if she remembered correctly, this aster seemed to be quite big......

"Ahem." Sakura Haruno coughed twice and walked in with a calm expression, and Kiriya Momiji glanced at her, not knowing what she was thinking again.

The two sat opposite Aster, and Sakura Haruno thought for a moment and asked, "I want to know what you predicted, why did you think of going to me." ”

Aster was silent for a while, and said, "I saw the scene of the battle between the demon spirit and the thunder god. ”

"Gone?" Sakura Haruno asked, raising an eyebrow.

"It's gone." Aster nodded seriously.

"Didn't Ashisui say that the dragon was about to come back to life?" Sakura Haruno asked suspiciously.

"Yes." Aster nodded and said, "More than twenty years ago, the dragon was also out of trouble for a time, when the witch maiden, that is, my mother, together with the ninjas of various countries, sealed the soul and body of the dragon in the country of ghosts and the country of swamps. ”

Saying that, Aster's face gradually became nervous, and said:

"Not long ago, the seal in the land of ghosts was broken, and the soul of the dragon is missing, but I think it will definitely go to the country of marshes in order to retrieve its body."

"And once the dragon is freed, only the witch, that is, me, can seal it, so I ask you to come over, and I want you to take me to the seal of the country of swamps to seal the dragon."

After Aster finished speaking, she looked at Sakura Haruno, waiting for her reply.

Sakura Haruno frowned and thought for a while, and said, "There's a question, didn't Ashiho say that you predicted your death?" ”

Aster was slightly stunned, lowered her head and was silent for a while, and said, "Indeed, I saw my death date, just after sealing the Dragon. ”

"Didn't anyone stop you in this prophecy?" Sakura Haruno asked bluntly.

Aster's pupils shrank, and she looked at Sakura Haruno, faintly angry.

For Aster, although someone will help her block the gun every time she dies, she is not proud of it, and even hates this feeling very much, because the people who die are close to her.

She thought that Sakura Haruno was taunting her by asking this, thinking that she would be happy for such a thing.

However, she also knows that Sakura Haruno is her greatest reliance now, and it is not now to be angry, sealing the dragon is her greatest mission.

Sakura Haruno noticed the look of anger in Aster's eyes, thought about it, and knew that she seemed to have asked a taboo question, but she had to ask it.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just asking questions about this strange phenomenon." Sakura Haruno shook her head slightly, and said, "After all, according to the previous rules, you should have someone to help you block it this time." ”

Aster hesitated for a while, shook her head slowly, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know why. ”

Sakura Haruno lowered her head and thought about it, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, she looked up at Aster, and said, "Then I swear now that in the next month, no matter what happens, I will definitely let you die behind me, and I will do what I say!" ”

As she spoke, Sakura Haruno stared at Aster's eyes tightly, and the shrine maiden's eyes would change color when she prophesied, and she didn't know if she could see it.

But unfortunately, Aster was just stunned, and her pupils didn't react at all.

"This kind of oath is useless." Aster shook her head slightly and said, "Even if you really want to do this, you will miss it due to various coincidences." ”

In fact, such an experience is not unprecedented, someone was prophesied by her to help her prevent the next death, and then another person swore on the spot, saying that he would exchange his life for the life of the person in the prophecy.

However, the final result did not change in the slightest, and the swear was that the man missed death due to various coincidences, and the prophesied death befell the prophesied person as scheduled.

"Well, it looks like I'm overthinking." Sakura Haruno shrugged her shoulders and said casually.

"Since you said that the soul of the dragon has escaped for a few days, it should be too late, after all, the country of the swamp is next to the country of ghosts." Kiritani Momiji suddenly said loudly.

"Just in time." Aster Masasei said: "The prophecy will not be wrong, as long as Sakura-sama Haruno makes a move, it will definitely be in time." ”

Hearing her words, Kiritani Momiji glanced at Haruno Sakura lightly, not long ago, this sentence almost killed the two of them.

Haruno Sakura's face was calm, and she didn't notice Kiritani's eyes, but nodded and said, "Then let's go now, the sooner you go, the better, and we'll talk about other things on the road." ”

"Yes." Aster nodded and stood up from the floor.

Sakura Haruno saw that inside Aster's wide clothes was a tight short coat, which seemed to have been prepared.

"Nothing to prepare?" Sakura Haruno asked as she stood up.

Aster shook her head slightly and said, "As long as I go." ”

"Okay, let's go now."
