I teach kendo in the ninja world

Ghost country.

A majestic palace group stands among the mountains, with rows of houses with cornices and hanging corners, giving it a simple and majestic aura.

Countless warriors armed with bows and arrows or spears stood on the periphery of the entire palace complex and on all the uneven corridors to protect them.

The building located in the center of the palace complex is slightly different in style from the surroundings.

Although it is taller and more eye-catching, in appearance it looks more like a shrine than a gorgeous main palace.

Because, on the long stairs leading to the palace gate, a majestic torii is quietly placed there, as if to divide the boundary between gods and humans.

Inside the shrine, a woman with white hair tied around her waist and sitting cross-legged on a futon suddenly opened her eyes.

The originally light red eyes suddenly turned into deep purple, and there seemed to be countless stars flickering inside, deep and mysterious.

"Ah~"

There was a brief exclamation, and the woman's originally gentle, noble and holy face suddenly showed a look of horror.

"Lord Maitreya, Lord Maitreya? What's wrong?"

The guard who was always outside the door immediately issued a cautious and urgent call.

"call……"

After straightening out the slightly skewed red knot hanging on her chest, Maitreya found that her back was soaked in cold sweat, which stuck to her loose white miko uniform.

"That's...a monster..."

She murmured with lingering fear, "But there are two equally unknown figures beside it, but I can't see their faces clearly. Are they the ones who helped the demon escape from the seal in advance?"

Witches and monsters are essentially living beings with two sides that come from the same source.

The monster who has been sealed in a different space for thousands of years is not just wasting his time. After a long period of exploration, he has been able to see some power from the seal every once in a while.

This time interval is about 20 years.

At this time, the witch needs to sacrifice her life to once again strengthen the seal of the monster.

Before doing this, the first thing that contemporary witches need to do is to pass on their power through their bloodline, so that when the next monster disaster arises, no one can impose restrictions on it.

Calculating the time, it is only less than 15 years since the last disaster. This time, the time has been greatly advanced.

And this brings about an extremely serious problem.

That is the current miko Maitreya, who has not yet given birth to an offspring that can inherit her power.

In other words, she can't die yet!

Otherwise, the next cycle of monsters, without the restraint of the natural enemy of the miko, may become uncontrollable, which will truly bring a crisis of overturning to the ninja world.

and so……

"Ashho, come in."

After calming down, Maitreya's voice remained as gentle and calm as before.

squeak~

Personal guard Ashui carefully opened the door, knelt on the ground, and asked respectfully: "Lord Maitreya, what are your orders?"

"Send the guards of the shrine to ask for help from the five major countries. Just say..."

She paused for a moment and organized her words, "The demon that will destroy the world has arrived. According to the ancient oath, the Kingdom of Ghosts needs support."

"Yes!"

……

……

"what?"

Araki looked at Gouju Yagura in surprise, "What other ancient oath do we have with the Kingdom of Ghosts?"

As expected, the information brought over from the Kingdom of Ghosts turned out to be a matter of the demons breaking the seal.

At first, Araki was a little surprised that this matter was brought forward so many years, but after thinking about it, maybe it was not so early. After all, in the theatrical version, the mother of the little miko Shion also died because of re-sealing the monsters. Calculating the time, maybe it was at this time.

However, the geographical location of the Kingdom of Oni is sandwiched between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth. Not only is Kirigakure separated from them by a sea, there is also the Kingdom of Birds, the Kingdom of Rain, and even an entire Kingdom of Fire lying in the middle.

He didn't believe that the demons really had the ability to completely penetrate the entire continent.

Therefore, except for secretly deciding to take time to go to the Kingdom of Tang to check on the evil sect, Araki didn't care much about the Kingdom of Ghosts.

After all, Kirigakure Village is not the world's policeman, and they have to get involved wherever there is a problem.

That was Konoha's favorite thing to do.

But he never expected that Mizukage Yagura would make some ancient agreement.

Come on, Kirigakure Village has only been established for more than forty years. What kind of agreement can be called ancient?

"To be precise, this is not an oath made between the Kingdom of Ghosts and our Kirigakure Village, but with the entire Kingdom of Water."

Gotachibana Yagura explained, "After we established a symbiotic relationship with the Water Kingdom of one country and one village, as the strongest military organization in the Water Kingdom, this matter was naturally inherited.

"And it's not just us. The Kingdom of Ghosts and the five major countries have similar agreements. It's just that although the agreement has always been there, they have never asked for help in the past few decades. So this time... the situation is probably It’s really serious.”

At this point, Yagura frowned.

He remembered again the prophecy of world destruction that Jiraiya had been talking about before.

The word "world-destroying demon" was also mentioned in the letter asking for help from the witch from the Kingdom of Demons...

Is this a coincidence?

Yagura felt that he seemed to have a little PTSD from the word "world destruction" during this period.

It's all Jiraiya's fault!

"The country of ghosts..."

Araki recalled it.

I feel that although the setting of the monster seems quite invincible, as long as the [silver bullet] of the miko is there, it is not a concern.

Although those immortal stone warriors look scary, aren't their slow moving speeds a perfect target for large-scale ninjutsu?

Even if it is really impossible to completely eliminate the monsters before dealing with them, whether it is a large-scale water escape technique or earth escape technique, these things should be able to be well restricted.

The reason why the protagonist team in the original movie version had such a difficult time was obviously because they chose the wrong person for the mission!

It is no exaggeration to say that the protagonists in the original plot are all Chopper-style ninjas.

Can you believe this?

Uzumaki Naruto, Hyuga Neji, Haruno Sakura, Rock Lee, one by one, they are all warrior ninjas who can only deal damage with one punch and one palm, and they don't even have a ninjutsu turret.

Being able to send out such a team can be regarded as the screenwriter forcibly controlling the wisdom of Tsunade, who was the Hokage at the time.

"So, who are we going to send?"

Ghost Deng Qianyue asked from the side.

Hearing this, Goji Yagura first cast his gaze on Araki, then shook his head, "No, you can't get away."

Then he looked at Ghost Deng Qianyue.

"Hey, hey, I don't have anything to spare!"

Ghost Light Qianyue shook her head quickly, "Araki has led a large group of hard-core ninjas to practice cultivation, and the village's task arrangement is already stretched. If I leave, everything will be in chaos."

Besides, who would want to go to a place with no corners like the Kingdom of Ghosts?

The two neighboring countries, Wind and Earth, knew from the first glance that they were in a dry and water-scarce environment. All the ninjas of the Ghost Lantern clan were made of water, so he wouldn't just go out and eat ashes!

Goji Yagura frowned when he heard this.

Although he was trying to evade, there was some truth in what Gui Deng Qianyue said.

Although he is a Mizukage, he is not like a certain seventh generation who takes everything into his own hands and is so busy that he has to go through the house three times.

Ghost Light Qianyue has always been responsible for the task dispatching. At this time, he really can't be separated from him, otherwise he, the Mizukage, will be busy to death.

"There is a high probability that not only our people will go there this time, but also the five major ninja villages. At least people from Konoha, Iwagakure and Sunagakure will definitely go. So we must be careful in selecting people, and we must not be left behind. Kirigakure’s face.”

Yagura will still be the leader after all. He is only responsible for putting forward requirements and conditions. The specific candidates are left to Araki and Onito Qianzuki to think about.

After listening to his words, a sentence suddenly flashed in Araki's mind: "You just put forward the conditions, and dad will think of the solution!"

Um?What seems wrong with this sentence?

Shaking his head, Araki asked a question:

"Then...are we going to send a three-person team?"

As soon as his words came out, he was strongly opposed by Gui Deng Qianyue.

"Without anyone, I can't even squeeze out a spot in my hand, let alone a three-person team."

While pouring out his bitter words, he asked: "By the way, the Kingdom of Ghosts is also a mission, right? What level is it? A world-destroying demon. That should be beyond S level, right? How much do they pay? If so If I have more money, I can also consider squeezing..."

"No money……"

Yagura said with a dark face.

This sentence immediately extinguished Gui Deng Qianyue's enthusiasm to squeeze in, so he slumped his face, turned around and sat on the sofa next to him, and stopped talking.

If you don't give me money, do you still want Uncle Qianyue to take the trouble to do things?

dream!

Although he didn't say it out loud, his actions clearly expressed this meaning.

So Goju Yagura turned his attention to Araki.

Although there was a suspicion of shirking responsibility in his words, most of what Gui Deng Qianyue said was also true.

He is indeed short of manpower now.

"Sigh~"

Facing Gouju Yagura's gaze, Araki took a breath.

If you think about it carefully, he does have a relatively sufficient number of people, but there are not many who are really suitable for going to the Kingdom of Ghosts and can still guarantee strong strength and not lose the prestige of Kirigakure.

To be more precise, after being away from the support of the sea, there are not many people in the entire Kirigakure Village who can ensure that their strength does not decline.

There is no way, Water Release Ninjutsu is indeed too dependent on the environment.

As for the new fighting methods, most people have not yet mastered them.

"Dried Kakisame Kisame and Kaguya Kurobone... should both meet the requirements."

After pondering for a long time, Araki replied.

"I'm afraid Black Bones can't do it..."

Gui Deng Qianyue retorted from the side, and his voice suddenly became a little gloating.

"Huh? What's wrong with him?"

Araki turned his head. He really didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the [Blood Blade Force] these days.

"After inspection by the Kaguya clan, Black Bone, whose bloodline has awakened for the second time, has not only completely overcome the blood disease, but the purity of the bloodline is as high as that of the ancestors of their clan. So now the old guy Cyborg is making plans to let him give it to everyone. The clan’s optimized bloodline is here!”

"Optimizing the bloodline of the entire clan..."

Upon hearing this word, the corners of Araki's mouth and eyes twitched.

This sounds elegant, but in fact, isn't it just to be a stallion?

"But Heigu is only 12 years old..."

Kaguya Kuroko is about the same age as Araki. Although people in the ninja world mature precociously, is it a little too early?

Even if you are mentally mature, what about your body?

Does he really have this ability now?

"Didn't his corpse veins awaken for the second time? I heard that his body was also stimulated to develop again. In short, if he didn't have this ability, Kaguya Cyborg wouldn't be so anxious to develop it, right? I heard that the Kaguya clan has Unmarried women are among the candidates.

"So, in view of his current important status, the Kaguya clan may not agree to him going out to do any too dangerous tasks before he leaves his bloodline."

Ghost Deng Qianyue added.

"Good fellow, the whole clan is choosing a concubine!"

Araki was speechless.

"Tsk..."

Goji Yagura also smacked his lips. The Kaguya clan wants to optimize their bloodline. From a long-term perspective, it is also a good thing for Kirigakure Village.

But the black bones can’t be removed, so I’ll use someone else to replace them!

"Then appoint Mikigaki Kisame as the captain, let him pick two more team members, and set off for the Kingdom of Demons immediately!"

……

……

The seventh training ground.

Araki conveyed the Mizukage's order to Kisame Inegaki who was training in the sea.

"The mission is in the Kingdom of Ghosts. Who do you want to choose to go with?"

Kisame wiped his body dry and put on Kirigakure's gray vest, and asked: "Is our mission to assist the miko to re-seal the escaped target?"

"To be more precise, it is to protect the miko from finding her target. You don't need to interfere with the sealing matter."

"Protect……"

Kisame's small round eyes rolled, he waved his muscles twice, and showed a smile that could stop a child from crying, "But I don't know how to protect people!"

"Your understanding of protection is still a bit one-sided."

Araki shook his head, "Killing all enemies who can pose a threat to the miko is the best protection."

"I like this statement!"

Kisame grinned, a cold light flashing on his sharp teeth, "Then I'll choose Kaguya's Bare Bones and Kaguya's Silver Bones."

"can."

Araki nodded, and then suddenly reached out to cover his left eye.

puff~

He plucked off his own eyeball, put it in a small bottle and handed it to Kisame.

"Bring this with you, I can see the situation on your side at any time."

"you……"

Kisame was shocked by his sudden act of gouging out his own eyeballs.

"what happened?"

Araki put down his arm. The left eye that had just been gouged out had returned to its original state, and even the blood was sucked back.

If he hadn't seen the eyeball in the small glass bottle he was still holding in his hand, Inikaki Kisame would have thought that everything that happened just now was his hallucination.

"nothing……"

He shook his head and showed no intention of delving further, "I understand."
