Konoha's Clow Magician

A few days later, inside the towering spire of the Kingdom of Rain.

The air was distorted for a while, and then, a man wearing a one-eyed mask walked out of the twisted vortex. He sneered, "Nagato, it seems you failed."

"Call me Payne!"

The orange-haired man's face was expressionless and his expression was cold. "It doesn't matter whether the demons will be sealed or not, as long as it can achieve the purpose of weakening the countries. Thanks to the demons, the organization has begun to accept more commissions during this period. There are even ninja villages from the five major countries who came to relieve me, and my strategic intention has been achieved."

Are you still thinking about your ridiculous plan?Obito sneered secretly in his heart.

Payne said coldly: "Madara, what are you doing here this time?"

"I'm naturally curious as to why you brought that good-for-nothing from Huangquan back. To you, he shouldn't be worth mentioning." Obito's eyes flashed and he looked towards the center of the room, where a sinister bird of prey stood. Men are exactly what he calls 'trash'.

"I just asked him to help me recuperate." Payne said indifferently: "This should have nothing to do with you."

"How could it be? After all, you are also an important partner of mine." Seeing that the other party had already planned to oust him, Obito did not stay long and disappeared into the whirlpool, leaving only one sentence floating in the air, "I hope you don't want to What tricks are you playing?"

Payne sneered twice and shifted his gaze to the sinister man, "Continuing with the topic just now, do you think someone can create a tailed beast?"

……

In the Kingdom of Ghosts, the witch's palace is full of broken ladder pillars and beams. Under the impact of the soldiers and puppets, only a few ruins of the huge palace are left.

After the demon incident was completely resolved, the ninjas of Iwagakure Village and the ninjas of Sunagakure Village said goodbye and left the Kingdom of Oni, while the ninjas of Konoha were kept here by the miko on the grounds of protection.

After all, although the casualties caused by the puppet disaster were not many, most of the building facilities were destroyed by the powerful puppet warriors, so those who could spare their hands were helping to rebuild the houses.

Senju Hideki stood on a high ground, looking into the distance, but in his mind he was thinking about the "Soul Separation Technique" taught to him by the miko.

This secret technique is not as magical as Senju Hideki imagined. Originally, in his idea, he simply peeled off part of his own mind body while retaining the integrity of the main consciousness. After all, it left a trace of consciousness in other people's bodies. The effect is to weaken one's own spiritual energy, just like Orochimaru's curse seal.

However, the separation achieved by the 'Soul Separation Technique' is not perfect, and is even more deadly than a curse seal, because while it separates consciousness, it also separates part of a person's emotions.

Just like the first-generation shrine maiden, what she separates is her own evil thoughts. After separation, the evil thoughts she generates will be continuously transmitted to the monsters through a mysterious connection, while her own thoughts will remain pure and have no influence on chakra. and the perception of natural energy will be more sensitive.

'The Art of Soul Separation' is a way of cultivation!

Senju Hideki's initial perception was indeed correct. The miko was indeed a bit unreasonable, because her own evil thoughts were absorbed by the demons. After the demons were completely eliminated, the miko became a normal person again. Fortunately, the other party's personality has not changed much and is still very gentle and kind.

Otherwise, Hideki Senju would have a little more worries.

"Shu, what are you thinking about?"

At some point, Kakashi came to him, and Senju Hideki said casually: "I didn't think about anything. I just felt that ordinary people are really powerless in this world. A random disaster can destroy their homes."

Kakashi sighed inwardly, "Facing the disaster of puppets, no matter how much a ninja can do, it is just a struggle, unless the strength can reach the level of Lao Zi of Iwagakure Village."

"Heh, it sounds like you are envious of the other person."

"It's just a simple desire for power."

"As long as you find the right way, you can become that powerful." Senju Hideki patted Kakashi on the shoulder, "For example, you can try to practice Kai's Eight Gate Dungeon."

Seeing the surprise on Kakashi's face, Senju Hideki said with a smile: "If I'm not wrong, the increase in your chakra amount has become very small, and the only way to increase your strength is to continue Improve your combat experience, and Kai is still getting stronger.”

"His punches are still getting sharper, and his speed is getting faster. One day in the future, he may surpass you."

Kakashi mused thoughtfully, indeed, the recent battles with Gai have become increasingly difficult to handle.

"However, you don't have to copy the other person. After all, you have your own fighting style, but you can also use it as a way to stimulate your own potential."

Senju Hideki turned his head and looked into the distance, "I have a hunch that this puppet disaster is no accident. There may be more powerful enemies in the ninja world in the future, and we must increase our strength as soon as possible."

Kakashi frowned, but before he could ask, Senju Hideki jumped down and flew somewhere.

……

In the temporary rest room, the miko Maitreya was sitting behind the table, frowning at the documents in her hands.

Senju Hideki came to the other party and said sincerely: "Maitreya, I have something to ask of you."

The witch rubbed her swollen temples and said with a smile: "As long as it is within my ability, I will definitely help you."

"I want you to help me adopt some orphans who lost their parents in this puppet disaster, preferably under ten years old."

Senju Hideki took out a scroll from the package and placed it in front of the miko's desk. "Of course, I didn't let you adopt it in vain. There are [-] million taels in this scroll, which is considered the adoption fee."

The shrine maiden looked at Senju Hideki intently, until she was shocked by the sight of him, and then suddenly smiled and said: "Shu-kun, what a coincidence, I was worried about this matter just now."

With that said, he handed the document in his hand to Senju Hideki, "This puppet disaster is originally the responsibility of the miko."

Senju Hideki browsed it carefully and said with a smile: "It's indeed a coincidence."

Indeed, although the miko will not reveal to the public that the miko lineage is the culprit of the puppet disaster, with her character, she will not shirk responsibility and leave those children who have lost their parents alone.

However, this is convenient for Senju Hideki. In the "Crowdfunding Chakra Project", only children are suitable as sample materials for condensing chakra.

But under normal circumstances, Senju Hideki would naturally not be able to search for children throughout the Ninja world and force them to become his sacred tree saplings.

Even for these orphans, he would give them a chance to choose, a chance to change from an ordinary person to a ninja.

"Then I'll leave this to you."

……

A few days later, the demon-sealing team began their return journey.
