I, Hikaru Uchiha, join the chat group

"At one time, we can probably create one or two hundred ice knights, and then we have to stop and rest for a while..."

Esdeath gave a number after careful consideration, then turned around: "Why do you suddenly ask about this?"

The so-called Ice Knight is actually another secret skill mastered by Esdeath——

"General Binglan".

This move ostensibly uses ice to create a group of tireless and immortal cavalry.

But its real function is to use these cavalry to store the energy of "Devil's Essence", which can be stored for at least several days.

Once this energy is released, a large-scale blizzard will form, causing severe cold shock to enemies within a thousand miles radius. Those with weak constitution may even be frozen to death on the spot.

In the original work, Esdeath once used this secret technique to create a blizzard that swept through half of the empire, causing heavy losses to the revolutionary army. It wasn't until her body was killed by Chi Tong who had activated the secret skill of "Yu Xiaojiao" that the storm was able to stop.

of course……

In this case, there is no need to unleash Blizzard.

Otherwise, the people of the Kingdom of Ghosts would be wiped out in advance without waiting for the monsters to take action...

"...Use the ice cavalry to deal with that monster's 'Ghost Corps'?"

After listening to Uchiha Hikari explain his idea, Esdeath thought for a while: "You can try it."

"But as a condition, the body of that monster must be left to me to solve."

"no problem."

Uchiha Hikaru agreed wholeheartedly.

She wasn't very interested in "monsters". After all, that thing was just a monster with a violent temper, killing without calculation, and had no value in conquering it. It's better to give Esdeath some practice and let her get familiar with the combat methods in the Naruto world——

Esdeath's strength is certainly good. In the ninja world, he is undoubtedly at the super shadow level, and he is still one of the stronger ones.

but……

Some of the special methods in the ninja world were something she had never seen before.

such as--

Hidan's "Blood of Death", the poison of the red sand scorpion, Obito's "divine power", and sealing techniques such as "Zombie Sealing"... These weird and unpredictable methods are different from those of Chi Hitomi. Just like "Murasame", both have the ability to kill at first sight.

Therefore, Uchiha Hikari planned to open Esdeath's eyes first, and then take her to the Hidden Rain Village - it should be the place with the most powerful people in this era. With the strength of Pain's Six Paths, Esdeath should be able to Des played to his heart's content.

"By the way..."

Uchiha Hikaru suddenly had a thought: "If the information given by Danzo is correct, then there should be Obito and Black Zetsu behind this awakening of the 'Phoenix', right?"

that……

"Will people from the Akatsuki organization also appear in the Kingdom of Ghosts?"

If that's the case, something interesting might happen.

the other side.

Maitreya had already finished explaining the current situation and began to talk about his plan.

"...Sealing that monster is the mission of all generations of mikos in the Kingdom of Ghosts. As a miko of this generation, I am bound by this responsibility and have long been aware of it.

But my power only has a restraining effect on monsters, and I am not good at frontal combat. Once a ninja gets close, I will definitely die.

Therefore, I implore you to escort me to the Sealing Demon Mountain, a hundred kilometers away from the capital of the Kingdom of Ghosts. There is a magic circle left by the ancestors of witches there, which is the most suitable place for sealing monsters. The monsters are bound to follow my whereabouts. When the time comes, I will use the power of the magic circle to seal it again. "

After a pause, Maitreya spoke again: "As long as you are willing to accept the commission, regardless of success or failure this time, I will first pay you a generous reward. If you are lucky enough to succeed, then you will gain the friendship of the Kingdom of Ghosts. Whenever you come here, you will be treated as the most distinguished guest.”

"I have a question……"

Uchiha Hikaru pondered for a moment, looked up at Maitreya on the throne, and spoke loudly: "I heard from others that you have the ability to predict things, right?"

"……Yes."

"Then, can you predict the monster's movements?"

"...It's possible, but it may be vague. Because the power of the demon has the same origin as mine, it will interfere with the predicted results."

"enough."

Now that we know the location of the monster, things are simple. Instead of waiting for the opponent to arrive according to Maitreya's plan, it is better to take the initiative.

Even if it is true as Maitreya said, the monster cannot be sealed or killed by conventional means, at least its strength can be weakened so that Maitreya can deal with it calmly.

According to the original plot, Maitreya will die in this seal, and Shion will inherit the position of miko. Uchiha Hikaru was more interested in Miroku, the mature miko, than a little girl who was still young. On the body, more usable intelligence can be mined.

the other side.

Tsunade was moved by the commission mentioned by Miroku, and immediately promised to ensure her safety on the honor of the Sannin.

"Thank you very much."

Miroku paused: "By the way, there is one more thing... Before I learned the news about the two adults, I had already sent a letter asking for help to the five major countries. The ninja teams of Konoha and Kumogakure are both on the way. It should be very soon. We will arrive here soon. This is just a precaution, not a distrust of you two, please don’t take it personally.”

"It's natural."

……

It was getting late now.

Maitreya ordered a sumptuous dinner to be arranged.

After the meal, Uchiha Hikari and his party were taken to the side hall of the palace to stay and recharge for tomorrow's action.

Esdeath begins making Ice Knights.

Uchiha Hikari stood aside and watched for a while with curiosity:

"By the way, how do these ice cubes move? Do they have a will?"

"...More or less, mainly because of the 'Devil's Essence'."

Esdeath briefly explained a few words.

"Devil's Essence" is a blood imperial weapon derived from a super-dangerous species. Its power contains some residual will. As long as it is poured into the humanoid body made of ice, these ice knights will act spontaneously. Killing and destroying everything in sight.

On this basis, Esdeath can pour his own thoughts into it and give the ice knight some simple "commands" to achieve orders and prohibitions, and even "distinguish" enemies from friends based on certain specific signs.

However, their essence is still a group of puppets, with no self-will at all, and no way to distinguish more detailed identification information.

"I see……"

Uchiha understood.

From this point of view, the use of the Ice Knight is still a little limited.

If you have the chance, maybe you can take Esdeath to the Land of Snow, or find the orphans of the Minazuki clan, and see if you can combine the "Devil's Essence" with the ninjutsu from the Naruto world to create something new. tricks.

……

Silent all night.

The next morning.

When Uchiha Hikaru got up and went out, he saw white cavalrymen carved from ice and snow standing outside the wing where he lived. Even if he just stood there and made no other movements, he could still feel a chilling aura coming towards his face.
