"Nothing."

Kakashi came back to his senses, waved his hand, and said, "It's important to hurry up and go to the Land of Demons to meet the shrine maiden." ”

A few people nodded, and then they were about to use the teleportation technique to leave.

Suddenly, a blue light lit up, and the six Kakashi followed the prestige in unison.

I saw a few figures appear in the jungle opposite, and judging from the way they were dressed, they seemed to be Yunyin's ninjas.

"Did the shrine maiden also ask Yun Yin to help?"

After a moment of silence, Kakashi said, "We can cooperate with them to break through the siege of the gargoyle soldiers and enter the hinterland of the Oni Country." ”

The current enemies are monsters and the Huangquan Sect, so in this crisis situation, they are not averse to cooperating with Yun Yin.

So, after a moment's thought, everyone nodded in agreement with Kakashi's proposal.

Kakashi and Yamato, who were in charge of the breakthrough, stood at the front of the line, with Yunji and the three students in the middle, and Maitkai in the back.

However, Ning Ji insisted on being the queen with Yamato.

Knowing Ning Ci's strength, Kai didn't talk nonsense, and nodded decisively in agreement.

Squeak squeak!

In a shrill hiss like a bird's call, Kakashi's palms were wrapped in purple lightning.

"Thunder Escape Chidori!"

In an instant, Kakashi's figure burst into the array of stone-like soldiers like a spear glowing with thunder.

Rumble... Rumble... Rumble...

In a series of roars, several stone soldiers fell to the ground one after another, and Kakashi, bathed in purple lightning, tore through the ranks of stone soldiers.

Thunder's over-speed assault ability was vividly demonstrated by Kakashi,

Hinata Ninji, who fell at the end of the line, unleashed his white eyes and soft fists with all his might, and the stone statue soldier's originally stiff and slow attack was already a lethal slow motion in his eyes.

Peng! Peng! Peng!

Through close combat, Hinata Ninji keenly discovered that the chakra aura in the bodies of these stone soldiers was exactly the same.

"Are all these chakras from that monster?"

Unconsciously, some evil and violent thoughts inexplicably rose in Ning Ci's heart.

"Wood Escape, Tree Boundary Wall!"

In an instant, a shield formed by multiple wooden vines quickly grew out of the ground, protecting the passage that Kakashi had forcibly broken through, establishing a temporary safe passage in the array of stone statues.

Since it didn't take much effort, a few people broke through the siege of the stone statue soldiers and entered the hinterland of the ghost country unharmed.

At the same time, the two people in the Yunyin team in the distance also sealed together.

"Water Escape, Water Array Wall!"

The chakra in his body quickly gathered in his throat and turned into a raging stream of water that spat out from his mouth to the front.

Behind the two of them, the ninja with black skin and white hair, and tattoos of "thunder" and "water" on his left and right shoulders, also followed closely behind and quickly sealed his hands.

"Thunder Escape, Gratitude Wave!"

The blue thunderbolt flowed down the water, turning into electricity and surging towards the stone statuette soldiers.

This shattered the gargoyle soldiers, further tearing apart the array of the gargoyle soldiers.

It was only after the stone soldiers had been cleared that the fluctuations and sounds of the battle gradually dissipated.

Konoha and Yunyin looked at each other.

"Konoha First Technician, Copy Ninja, Kakashi Hachiki?"

"Yunyin Murakami Shinobi, the guard of the four generations of Thunder Shadow, Daruyin?"

The two white-haired eyes were dead fish, looking at each other, and they both saw the meaning in each other's eyes.

- It's troublesome.

"Humph!"

Yun Ren looked at Ning Ci and the three of them, and said in a strange manner, "Is there no one in Konoha anymore?" Actually sent three imps to such a place. ”

The average age of the third shift in Matekai's work was only twelve years old.

So in terms of size, it is indeed a head shorter than those two miscellaneous fish Yun Ren.

"Two wastes, tasks of this level, three of us are enough."

Hinata Ningji glanced at them and replied in a cold tone: "Also, you'd better be careful, if something happens during the mission, it won't be an accident to die here." ”

In normal times, if he is provoked, he may not bother to pay attention.

However, under the influence of that chakra, in the face of Yun Yin, who had invaded Hinata, he couldn't hold back for a while.

Yun Ren's face suddenly sank.

"Little ghost, do you want to find death!"

"If you can do it, you can try it, just calculate the old and new grudges together!"

In the face of this kind of miscellaneous fish forbearance, Hinata Ningji was not afraid at all, and his killing intent was fully revealed.

Feeling the chilling killing intent, the two Yun Ren also narrowed their eyes and put their hands on the short knife at their waists.

And a few people on Konoha's side, who put on a fighting posture with Xiao Li every day, also became vigilant.

"Do you want a fight? What a youth! ”

Kai grinned and clenched his fists, looking like he didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement.

In an instant, the two sides became full of gunpowder.

"Ah, what a hassle."

Having said that, Kakashi still didn't stop the movements of Ninji and the others.

Why the Yunyin ninja provoked, he knew it at this time.

After all, Yun Yin's group of main battle factions has been preparing to move recently, and I heard that they are still snatching and collecting the secret techniques of other forces and countries.

The more this is the case, the more you can't back down.

They now represent Konoha.

"We're sorry for the trouble."

Daruyin scratched his head and said with a lazy expression: "Everyone, now is not the time to quarrel, the monsters are still approaching here." ”

Both sides knew very well in their hearts that when the monster was approaching, infighting was not a wise choice.

With Daruyin's steps, Kakashi and the others disembarked down the slope and took a step back to maintain the temporary peace.

The crowd came to the top and looked at the towering shrine in the distance.

At this time, the shrine was shrouded in a layer of purple barrier, and the stone soldiers around it seemed that they could not enter the barrier, so they could only surround the shrine layer by layer.

Seeing this, Kakashi let out a long sigh of relief.

"It seems that the shrine hasn't been attacked yet, and the shrine maiden should still be safe now."

Daruyin drooped his shoulders and asked, "But, there are so many stone soldiers outside, how can we get in?" ”

Kakashi turned his head and looked at Ninji behind him, "Ninji, can you find a way into the shrine?" ”

Ning Ci had already opened his eyes, shook his head and said, "The shrine has been completely surrounded by those stone statue soldiers, leaving no gaps or dead ends. ”

Hearing this, Maitkai smiled indifferently: "Haha, it seems that you can only break through!" ”

However, Konoha and Yunyin knew very well that it was obviously not an easy thing to break through.

They've already dealt with these gargoyle soldiers.

Although the movements of the gargoyle soldiers are extremely clumsy and slow, once they are formed, they can be very difficult.

However, everyone who was thinking about it did not notice Ning Ci's slightly strange expression and eyes.

………………

The sky is getting dark, and the sunset stains the western horizon red, and it is an incomparably beautiful dusk.

At the same time, in the midst of the enchantment that everyone is looking at.

"Is this the Witch Shrine in the Land of Demons?"

A red torii gate stands in front of the shrine, and red birds live on it.

Miama walked through the red torii gate and walked along the mountain road.

At the top of the mountain path is the shrine where the shrine maidens of the Oni no Kuni live.

Huge buildings were erected on huge platforms.

It's not so much a shrine as a palace.

From this height, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the entire Oni no Kuni.

After all, it is the residence of the shrine maidens of the Oni Country, and it is normal to have such a majestic palace.

However, in terms of the highest status of the shrine maiden, there should be maids and guards to protect them.

There was a lack of people, and there was not a single figure in front of the empty shrine, and the maids and guards had disappeared.

The air here is clean and clear, giving a wonderful feeling of being able to wash away the filth of the soul.

However, in this clean and clear air, there is still a biting chill.

It's not a cold caused by a change in the weather, but something more thoroughly deep.

From the wide open door of the shrine......

"Looks like you're waiting for me."

Mian Ma smiled with interest and continued to walk up the steps of the mountain path.

After a long staircase path, you finally arrive at the location of the shrine.

Walking along the long corridors of the shrine, the trees in the courtyard complement each other perfectly with the dusk.

The atmosphere in the shrine is very quiet, as if it is separated from the chaos outside, and the face of the face is uncomfortable.

"This is the power of the shrine maiden?"

Mian Ma thought secretly in his heart: "It is completely opposite to the essence of the power of the dragon. ”

The powers of the dragon and the shrine maiden are inexplicably similar.

However, the nature of the display is diametrically opposed.

If it's the power of the spirit, it's like all the dark filth of the human heart.

The power of the shrine maiden is to give people a sense of supremacy, sacrosanctity.

Comfortable, tranquil, natural, stable......

The change that can make him feel should be because of the influence of the witch's power.

This made Miyama even more curious about the power of the shrine maiden.

He came to the main hall, and the door was open.

In the empty main hall, a girl dressed in a luxurious witch costume knelt on a high platform.

And beside her, there was a slightly illusory figure of a woman.

Although because of the blindness, the faces of the two people could not be seen clearly.

But compared with a girl with an ordinary temperament, the woman gave her face a sense of ethereal and ethereal.

He even felt that it was not a flesh-and-blood human being who was looking at him, but some other special creature, and there was no smell of "human" on his body at all.

"First time we met, Mr. Uzumaki."

The woman's voice broke the silence in the main hall.

Mian Ma Pan sat on the cushion in front of the high platform, opened his eyes to perceive, and subconsciously frowned.

"My name is Maitreya, and this is my daughter Aster."

Maitreya said softly, "Mr. Mian Ma should be able to perceive it, right?" ”

Mian Ma nodded and asked with interest, "Is it really no problem to transfer the power to the next generation, Your Excellency Maitreya?" ”

Maitreya's state at this time seemed to be stable, but her face could sense her weakness.

On the contrary, the aura of Aster beside her was getting stronger and stronger, and Maitreya's power was transferring to him.

By now, the tipping point should have been reached.

Although he doesn't know the specific reason, he is already convinced that the shrine maiden inherits mysterious powers, which is completely different from the ninja system.

The historical origin of the country of Oni no Kuni may be traced back to Kaguya's time.

And the loosening of the seal of the dragon should also be due to the transfer of the witch's power.

"It's okay, this is the fate of the shrine maiden, and it is also the responsibility that the shrine maiden must bear."

Maitreya said in a surging tone: "Even if I am gone, Shion will become a witch, and the dragon will not be able to break the seal. ”

There was no so-called sadness in her tone, and she didn't seem to care about her own death.

"Is it the so-called fate again?"

Mian Ma touched his chin, and said expressionlessly: "This kind of inexplicable thing, that old toad likes it the most, I didn't expect you witches to like it too." ”

Compared with the living slug that sees through all things in the world, Maitreya is more like seeing too many unchangeable facts, and finally accepts his future and death calmly.

Because of the power of the shrine maiden passed down from generation to generation, you can see the fate of human death.

Both respected and feared.

To be precise, the shrine maiden should be a split from the good side of humanity.

However, the face is numb and does not like this feeling.

"Since you can see death."

Mi Ma raised his eyebrows, and said in a surging tone, "So, can Your Excellency the Shrine Maiden see my death?" ”

"Well, I see."

Maitreya did not shy away from saying bluntly: "However, I only got your appearance and information, and when I wanted to continue watching, the picture was already blurred, and it was obscured by a red moon. ”

"Then, the power in my body was completely exhausted, and it also affected the seal of the dragon."

Maitreya himself was actually very confused.

In the past, when the "prophecy" was made, the picture never appeared in the condition of the mold lake, and at most it ended directly.

However, the "prophecy" of a hundred trials and tried-and-true results was rubbed on the numb face.

"Really?"

The corners of his mouth were raised, and he said jokingly, "Maybe, I will never die?" ”

Mikoto's abilities...... Seems quite interesting.

"Perhaps."

The smile on Maitreya's face remained unchanged, and he was noncommittal to Ma's words: "Someone is helping the Dragon, and at the moment of my death, the Dragonspirit is likely to get out of trouble." ”

"I ask you to come here at this moment, just to hope that you can protect the Aster and prevent the dragon from getting out of trouble and becoming a disaster to the ninja world."

This is not a good thing for the face of the numbness.

Therefore, he stopped talking nonsense and asked directly: "What can I get?" ”

“…… The submission of the country of demons, and the inheritance of the shrine maiden. ”

"The Legacy of the Shrine Maiden?"

"It's the immortal inheritance you want to get, which is the power of witchcraft that has been handed down from ancient times."

Maitreya sat there, and the scroll in his hand floated on its own initiative and fell into the hands of the face numb.

Mian Ma opened the scroll, his eyes swept over the scroll calmly, and after reading it, his face showed a rare strange look.

"Ancient three types of witchcraft?"

Magical sorcery, which seals the body or soul of a target in a variety of ways.

The gods pray for witchcraft, using prayer methods such as sacrifices or curry favor to pray for the blessings of the gods and avoid disasters.

Divine judgment witchcraft, also known as foresight, can predict providence and what is to come.

Is this the fairy tradition of the shrine maiden?

"In ancient times, at that time, the goddess of Mao had not yet come."

Maitreya explained: "Due to the lack of grasp and understanding of nature, people cannot understand natural disasters and phenomena such as lightning and thunder, solar and lunar eclipses, and landslides and floods. ”

"So it all comes down to the manipulation of the gods, and then the reverence for nature and the belief that all things have spirits."

"This also gave rise to the worship of nature and primitive witchcraft, hoping to master the power to manipulate nature through certain rituals and methods."

"Later, due to its extremely harsh practice conditions and the spread of the more popular chakra, this power called witchcraft gradually disappeared."
