ninja bandits

Following the other party, passing through two long corridors, Kaguya Kyiu and his party finally came to a magnificent palace.

Stopping in front of the two soldiers stationed outside the door, Yoji Nakabayashi said loudly: "Lord Shigetsuki, the distinguished guests from each village have been brought."

"Trouble, Yoji, ahem~ You go down first." A slightly weak and gentle female voice came from inside.

"Yes." Nakabayashi Yoji decisively retreated to a distance and waited.

With a click, the wooden door was opened from the inside.

A beautiful girl of seventeen or eighteen years old with white hair shawl appeared in front of everyone: "Everyone, please follow me."

This palace is two points smaller than the main hall where Kaguya Hugh and others stayed before, but the internal light is brighter, and the whole room is filled with a faint fragrance.

In the innermost part of the palace is a large bed that can accommodate seven people. There are two young maids standing on both sides of the bed. Sitting on the bed is a pale-faced girl who looks somewhat like a girl. There is a faint glow in the corners of her eyes. Beautiful woman with crow's feet.

Seeing the figure appearing at the door, the woman's eyes glowed with a faint purple light, and she looked at everyone carefully.

Not only Kaguya, but also the more sensitive people in the room instantly felt that they were being ignored by the other party, and their vigilance was greatly increased.

"I am the seventh-generation shrine maiden No. 40 of the Kingdom of Demons, Shigetsuki."

Seemingly aware of everyone's dissatisfaction, Shuoyue, the contemporary witch of the Kingdom of Ghosts, apologized: "I was seriously injured in a sneak attack by villains not long ago. In order not to give the other party any chance to take advantage of me, I used some tricks. Please forgive me."

"Miko-sama's approach."

Echoing, Kaguya Kyū was the first to introduce: "I am Kaguya Kyū from the Kirigakure Kaguya clan, and these are my teammates Minazuki Yaon and Tanaka Jinchichi.

This time, I came in accordance with the ancient alliance to help the witch capture the villain who wanted to free the demons. "

"Kaguya Kyū?!"

Hearing this name, Kushina frowned, leaned into her boyfriend's ear, and whispered in a low voice: "That guy is the culprit who caused Sakumo-senpai's suicide, right?"

"Around eighteen or nineteen years old, with short gray-white hair, a long green-handled knife at his waist, and black square-framed eyes on the bridge of his nose."

After looking at it carefully, Minato looked solemn and said, "He must be right. Let's be careful behind the scenes."

"Are you a descendant of the Kaguya clan, the Snow clan, or the Tanaka clan?"

After listening to the other party's introduction, Shuangyue nodded thoughtfully: "Welcome to your arrival."

"I am Namikaze Minato, this is..."

……

……

After patiently listening to the self-introductions of the remaining people, Shuangyue looked solemn, and with the help of the white-haired girl, she sat up straight: "This is the little girl Maitreya, and the next shrine maiden of the Kingdom of Ghosts."

After introducing his daughter to everyone, Shuangyue got to the point and said: "Five days ago, when I was routinely strengthening the seal of the demon, the villain took advantage of my unpreparedness and seriously injured me.

Although I tried my best to repel the opponent, the opponent also succeeded in gaining part of the demon's power. "

"Wait a minute, I guess the defensive strength of the place where the monster is sealed won't be low, right?"

After understanding what happened, Luo Sha asked puzzledly: "Why was the other party able to bypass the many guards and sneak attack on you, the witch? Could it be that there is a traitor in the Kingdom of Ghosts?"

Shaking his head and denying the other party's guess, Shuangyue explained: "The other party is also an existence with ancient blood. In the words of your ninjas, he is a blood successor who has awakened the limit.

Ahem~ With the help of that kind of bloodline ability, even I couldn't detect the other party's existence before the other party officially took action, let alone the soldiers on the periphery who were just ordinary people. "

After listening to the other party's description, Kaguya Xiu subconsciously said: "Hidden?"

Ai asked: "What is seclusion?"

"A kind of blood inheritance limit that has long since disappeared, can hide..." After briefly describing the characteristics of seclusion, Kaguya looked at the miko in front, waiting for the other party's answer.

"According to Kaguya Jōnin's description, the other party should be a reclusive awakener."

After getting Shuangyue's affirmation, Kaguya narrowed his eyes.

He immediately thought of the suture monster that frightened Kirigakure two years ago.

If he is really reclusive, could the guy who wanted to obtain the monster be the same person behind the creation of the suture monster?

Rolling up his sleeves, Ai said unceremoniously: "No matter how reclusive or evil he is, if he dares to come, I will blow his head off!"

"It's better to be careful."

With a word of advice, Namikaze Minato asked a question he had been wondering about for a long time: "Lord Shigetsuki, it is said that monsters have the power to destroy the world. Is it true?"

"Based on the current strength of the ninja world, it is possible."

After a moment of silence, Shuangyue explained: "Monsters are monsters formed by the aggregation of human hatred, anger and other negative emotions. Even if they are eliminated, they will be reborn every once in a while.

This is also the fundamental reason why our witches of all generations have chosen to seal them instead of killing them.

And the more chaotic the world is, the stronger the monsters will be.

Once it grows into a complete body, no one can stop it unless the Immortal of Six Paths comes again. "

"So troublesome?" Ye Cang raised his eyebrows.

Kaguya asked: "Then what do we need to do?"

"I need three days to regenerate the power to seal the monsters."

After coughing twice, Shuangyue said: "Ahem~ The other party also knows this, so he will definitely launch another attack within these three days to get back the remaining power of the monster in the seal.

Moreover, the power of the monster can control a kind of undead puppet called 'Terracotta Warriors'.

Although the witches of the past generations have destroyed all the terracotta warriors and horses in various places, there is no guarantee that there will be no omissions in any place.

This kind of terracotta warriors and horses is far beyond what ordinary people can contend with, so I need to trouble you to protect the citizens of the Kingdom of Ghosts in the next few days to avoid excessive casualties. "

"That is to say, we only need to protect the safety of Lord Shuangyue and the seals of the demons within these three days, and beware of the puppets called 'Terracotta Warriors', right?" Kaguya Hugh concluded.

"That's right, after my strength is restored, I will personally seal the part of the power that the demon has escaped."

………………

'Boom--'

In a deep underground cave somewhere, the stone door that had been sealed for a long time slowly opened.

Five figures holding torches and their faces hidden under hoods filed in.

As if aware of the arrival of the guests, the lamps embedded in the rock wall spontaneously ignited without fire, piercing the darkness underground.

"Lord Netherworld, there is no danger!"

After confirming safety, a thin man with gray hair stepped through the door and entered the cave.

Step forward about ten meters and stop on the edge of the cliff, overlooking the tens of thousands of lifelike terracotta warriors and horses below, holding halberds and forming a battle formation.

The corners of You Ming's mouth rose crazily.

He took off his coat, opened his arms wide, and countless purple-black lights poured out from his back, pouring into the stone servants below.

"Resuscitate! My undead army!"
