"Yes. To be honest, the appearance of the demon is related to the first-generation miko. Its power... actually comes from the power of the miko!"

With a word that surprised the three of them, Maitreya revealed the origin of the monsters.

It turns out that the first-generation shrine maiden discovered that she was too powerful and had a dark side.

In order not to harm humans, destroy the world;

The good side that had the upper hand split its power into two, and after leaving its bloodline, sacrificed its own life to seal the dark side.

However, the dark side had been noticed before it was sealed, and evil seeds were secretly sown in some humans.

Every few decades, there will always be a few humans who have acquired evil power. Their souls are bewitched by the monsters, and they are determined to lift the seals of the monsters.

"Do those human beings who have been alienated by evil have enough power to lift the seals of the monsters and sprites?"

Xing asked curiously.

"The fastest way to remove the seal from the monster sprite is to use the power of the witch; secondly, to kill the witch and weaken the seal. If it takes some time, the power of the seal will eventually be eroded away!"

Naturally, Maitreya will not lift the seal. The other party's purpose is to kill the witch and weaken the seal.

"Last night's attack should be just a test! The enemy has been secretly operating in the Kingdom of Ghosts and must be accumulating strength. We don't have much time."

Maitreya said in a deep voice.

"So...Her Majesty the Miko means...that we take the initiative?!"

'Zhuo' asked tentatively.

"Mom~ Mom~"

Just as Maitreya was about to answer, a little girl's shout sounded outside the door.

"Sorry, it's my daughter, Ziyuan~"

Maitreya apologized to the three of them, stood up and walked out the door. After comforting Xiao Ziyuan who was looking for her mother, he returned again and continued the previous discussion.

"She is the new generation of miko in the future, right? And if you seal the monster sprite, you will lose your life, right?"

Xing asked softly, and the other two people also looked a little in awe.

"Please be sure to keep it a secret so that Xiao Ziyuan and others don't know about it. Otherwise, they will not agree and will definitely force him to death!"

Maitreya raised his hand and bowed slightly in salute.

"When are you going to take action to seal the monsters?"

Zhuo nodded and asked seriously.

"After half a month, we will complete the gathering of troops and take action immediately!"

Maitreya knew that he could not delay any longer. The enemy had been using the people of the Ghost Country to expand his power.

"Well, there's enough time. The three of them should arrive in the next few days. There are also...possible Konoha ninjas."

'Zhuo' turned to look at Xing.

"Well, the Konoha ninjas should arrive within half a month. Your beautiful majesty, you can arrange for the soldiers of the Demon Country to pay attention to the strangers coming from the direction of the Craft Country. They call themselves the Devouring Team."

Xing nodded and said.

【Bite team?A country of craftsmen?Is it the tripartite cooperation mentioned by the leader?Damn it, this guy actually knows more than me! 】

'Zhuo' once again feels that his position within the organization has been challenged!

"Team Eater? I understand."

After hearing that there were two teams of support, especially Konoha's Devouring Team, she felt relieved.

After the discussion was over, the three of them followed Maitreya and left the reception room. They divided their tasks and hid in the palace.

Regarding hiding their bodies and performing protection tasks secretly, 'Zhuo' and 'Li' were very professional, and the guards in the palace were unable to find any trace of them.

Only Xing, as if for fun, was sitting on the edge of a building wall, sunbathing on a sunny day after the rain, and humming a tune.

"Hello, red-haired uncle, hello."

Xing, who was half-lying lazily, heard the greeting from the little girl behind him and turned his head to look.

"Little beauty, what do you want from my brother? I don't have any candy with me~"

Xiao Ziyuan's big, bright eyes made Xing couldn't help but want to tease her.

"Are you... really powerful? Can you protect your mother?"

Little Shion learned early in the morning from Miroku and other guards that there were three more masked people in the palace, and they came from a long distance to protect Her Majesty the Miko.

I heard that it is very powerful in combat!

Xiao Ziyuan searched around the palace and only found Xing.

And it doesn’t look like I’m doing escort work at all, more like a tourist!

Xiao Ziyuan couldn't help but be a little suspicious.

"You must be powerful, not only to protect your mother, but also to protect you."

He said coaxingly like a child, feeling a little relaxed.

"I don't need your protection. I have a treasure from my mother."

Xiao Ziyuan touched the small bell on her chest and said confidently.

Mind eye perception, open!

[Sure enough, it is a treasure. Even the mind and eye cannot detect it completely. I can only sense an energy that is different from chakra. 】

Huh~sh~

A gust of breeze came, and Xing felt it.

"Little beauty, my brother has something to deal with, so I won't chat with you anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out his finger and tapped Xiao Ziyuan's head, then jumped lightly and fell towards the outside of the palace.

In mid-air, he unfolded the 'Book of Xin', put Xiao Fengling No. 1 into it, and came to a shadow place to absorb the memory information it brought back.

[The deserted valley a hundred miles away to the northwest is shrouded in dark evil forces, making it impossible to enter. 】

Last night, when the giant blood bird beast was evacuating, Xing quietly released Xiao Fengling No. 1 and followed its whereabouts while maintaining a certain distance.

[It would be a bit risky to go to investigate alone; it is better to wait for Xiao Wu and others to arrive and act together.However, you have to prepare in advance. 】

Xing opened his mind's eye perception again, walked around the palace, and found the hidden 'Zhuo'.

"You want to leave the capital alone? Did you find something?"

"What can you discover by staying here? This is a bit passive. You stay here to protect the witch, and I will check for traces of the blood beasts last night."

"Okay, this is your freedom! Pay attention to your own life~"

'Zhuo' didn't stop it, and it couldn't stop Xing's decision.

......

Ten days later, the border between the Ghost Country and the Craftsman Country.

The three members of the Devouring Team rushed from the interior of the Craftsman Country to the border.

During this trip to the land of craftsmen, the three of them met Master Sixiang.

After spending a lot of money and several days of chakra contribution, he purchased a batch of fine ninja tools and three chakra ninja tools from Master Four Elephants.

Eater One, Iron Fire, obtains a short chakra blade, not much longer than a kunai, and can be used as a kunai;

Eater [-] and Higashino received a two-foot-sized chakra metal shield, which was a bit thin, but had good defense against ninjutsu;

Devourer No. [-] and Mai exchanged the remaining money that Uchiha Shin returned to her with the private money saved by her grandfather for a pair of chakra swords.

Feng Ling's two swords, one of fire and one of water;

The Feng Ling water sword was stored in a small seal scroll, and the fire sword was carried behind his back for easy use in battle.

In the past year, Mai's swordsmanship has improved a lot under the guidance of the clan's jounin in terms of Uchiha-style swordsmanship;

Although not as good as Shisui, he can still be considered to have reached the level of special jounin.
