"I'm going to take the flame."

Zhishui said to the high priest.

The Grand Priest smiled bitterly.

"In that case, I'll have to step down my position as the Grand Priest."

"Why?!"

Zhishui was shocked, he felt that the Great Priest had done a good job these days.

"Because God has taken back the holy fire, and has withdrawn the gift, this is the wrath of God, and it is also my disadvantage in keeping the holy fire, and I cannot escape the blame."

"I can explain to the believers,"

The believer will feel even more that God has abandoned them. They only feel that God is close to me and far away from them...... And they will hate me in their hearts. ”

“……”

"So, when Lord Raven God takes back the Holy Flame, please choose a suitable person to take over as the Great Priest as soon as possible."

Regarding the fact that the crow god Zhishui wanted to take back the 'holy fire', the high priest had no objection.

However, Zhishui gave up this plan.

He really couldn't find a more suitable person to be the great priest than the current great priest, and besides, he was also more nostalgic for the old one, and felt that it was good for the great priest to continue to stay in this position.

Then you have to take protective measures.

Actually, it's not that difficult.

Shisui then sets up an enchantment at the shrine, and warns anyone with chakra as soon as they pass by.

Then he fused a crow into the flame, and the crow in the flame would be the first to react and manipulate the fire to strangle the thief who stole it.

There are also a number of crows lurking in the surrounding area.

It can be said that even if there is a strong enemy, Zhishui can react the fastest.

After that, the water stop looked at the side of the flame... These days he had been aware that the burning of the sacred fire did not require him to supply chakra, as he was worshipping day and night by the devotees who came from all over the country.

The devout spirit of faith of the believers will be thrown into this kind of flame of worship that they believe in, and it just so happens that 'Burn Escape' is a kind of fire that can burn the spirit, in other words, it can also maintain its own flame through the burning of spiritual power, which itself is very much in line with the characteristics of Burn Escape itself.

However, this kind of sacred fire, which is enshrined by the spiritual beliefs of countless people, is therefore less and less spiritual power that belongs to stopping water, and more and more spiritual power belonging to these believers to worship and worship.

It can be said that it is the fire of 'Burning Escape' that is worshiped and worshiped by these believers, and the water stop has lost control over 'it'. Of course, the Flying Thunder God's mark is still inside, and by putting the Flying Thunder God's mark into Chakra, you can still let the spiritual power of the water stop take the lead and restore control of this flame.

It's just that the water stop doesn't do that.

And now, with a phantom crow that stops the water, plunges in.

Shisui sensed it, and the devotion contained in the 'holy fire' immediately concentrated towards the phantom crow as if he had found a nest to return to his nest.

The phantom crow in the sacred flame seems to be truly integrated with this holy flame, and has a strange sense of solidity.

At this moment, the water stopped through the phantom crow in the sacred fire and heard a lot of sounds.

'Lord Raven God, please bless me with a smooth business!' ’

'Lord Raven God! Bless me for having a boy! ’

'Lord Raven God! I want to be with the people I love, please bless me! ’

'O Raven God! Please let my children find good jobs! ’

'Raven God, Raven God...'

All kinds of prayers seemed to enter the ears of Shisui.

"That's it, Hokage-sama. Ever since I did that, I have been able to hear the prayers of those faithful about the fire. Shisui turned to Orochimaru and told about it.

Of course, it was in the science class, and he didn't use this matter to bother Orochimaru, the Hokage's office, after all, it wasn't something that needed to be coordinated with Konoha's administration.

Orochimaru listened to Zhishui's narration, nodded, and then looked at Zhishui with a smile and said, "It seems that Zhishui, you really want to be a god." ”

"Hokage-sama, please stop laughing at me." Zhishui is a little helpless about this.

However, Orochimaru was indeed interested in this matter.

"Take me over and have a look."

"Yes."

Soon, Shisui took the Orochimaru of this science class, and through the technique of flying thunder god, came to the shrine to enshrine the holy fire.

Because of the previous incident of stealing the Holy Flame, the surrounding area of the Holy Flame was heavily guarded. There are even believers hiding in the shadows with guns, and it seems that if they see someone wrongdoing, they will not hesitate to shoot them.

Of course, for the sudden appearance of Shisui and Orochimaru, it was as if everyone present didn't see it.

It's the illusionary effect of stopping water, so that these people can't pay attention to them.

At this time, Orochimaru was observing the holy fire, and even walked over and touched it with his hand.

It pierced through like an illusion, and of course, the water stop would not let this flame scorch his Hokage-sama.

"It is also this kind of flame itself that is suitable for carrying and burning spiritual power, otherwise other things will not have this effect if they are worshipped in this way. However, the spiritual power gathered was not enough, and there were still too few people coming. If all of your believers could put their spiritual convictions into it, maybe we could see interesting changes? ”

Zhishui smiled helplessly and said, "After all, everyone has their own life, and it is impossible for my believers to rush over all of them." It's hard to get a steady stream of offerings. ”

Orochimaru glanced at Shisui.

"Flying Thunder God's Technique."

"You mean?" Stop the water and a spirit, realized something.

Orochimaru nodded.

"Aren't there shrines dedicated to you in various places? On the crow sculpture enshrined in it, the holy fire and phantom crow with the imprint of the flying thunder god are integrated, and the spiritual energy worshiped in various places is conveyed to the holy fire in front of you through the imprint of the flying thunder god. ”

Since Orochimaru-sama said so, of course, Shisui immediately did so.

Soon crows will enter and fly into the worship of the crow sculpture from all over the place, and a little 'Flame of Escape' will appear in the body that is fused with the mark of the Flying Thunder God.

These flames of retreat naturally also accept the belief power that carries worship, some of them are used to maintain themselves, and some of them are continuously transmitted to the sacred fire of the main shrine through the seal of the Flying Thunder God.

Let the Holy Flame receive the power of faith and spirit in a unit of time, and immediately increase many times greater.

I saw that the originally peaceful blood-colored holy flame immediately burned violently! After rising and expanding greatly, it suddenly collapsed, and the black flames burned fiercely, and the brazier underneath was about to be burned through.

At this moment, Orochimaru's hands quickly sealed, and he performed a sealing technique, allowing the brazier to carry this black flame in time, so that it did not spread.

When the surrounding believers saw this, they suddenly cheered and worshiped even more religiously.

They believed that their faith had moved the Raven God to bring about such a change in the flame.
