Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Chapter 191 Classic Earth Shadow Guards the National Gate

"...Aren't you afraid of dying?"

After discovering that the guards were not dead, Ziyuan confirmed that Bai Mo and the others had indeed come with good intentions.

Although the attitude was a bit strange, if someone were truly a bad person, there would be no need for them to do that.

She is not a necessity for unsealing the demons; on the contrary, she is the key to sealing them.

If Bai Mo and the others simply wanted to use the power of the demon, they should have killed her.

So Shion started to offer kind advice again.

"Honestly, I really can't imagine that we could die from fighting a demon. You might as well predict that we'd choke to death while drinking water; that's more likely."

Bai Mo smiled helplessly.

"Exactly, if it weren't for the fact that the Eight Thousand Spears couldn't be directly imprinted on the soul, why would we need to come here?"

Uchiha Hikaru curled his lip.

This little witch is really stubborn.

"But when a person is killed, they die."

Ziyuan remained hesitant.

"How surprising! You only discovered this today? I also discovered something else—it feels really comfortable to put a strawberry cake in that organ under your nose."

Bai Mo remained silent.

They even brought up classic lines like "When a person is killed, they die."

"what?"

Ziyuan was stunned for a moment.

Isn't that called "eating"?

While she was still in a daze, Uchiha Hikaru had already taken out a small cake that he always carried with him and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Lead the way. You're just like I was before. You've been away from the ninja world for too long, and your vision is too short-sighted."

After Uchiha Hikaru finished stuffing the cake, he clapped his hands.

"The you from before?"

After swallowing the cake with difficulty, Ziyuan looked at Guang with a puzzled expression.

After eating the sweets, the little witch's mood did indeed improve considerably.

Therefore, it makes perfect sense that Gala's act of bringing food to Muri increases her favorability.

"She was sealed during the Warring States period and has only just been unsealed. In terms of the sealing time, it's longer than that of a demon."

"what?"

Ziyuan was stunned after hearing Bai Mo's explanation.

She's said "Huh?" countless times today.

As Uchiha Hikaru said, Shion is not only backward in terms of its system and culture, but also in terms of the fact that the priestess was born to seal away the demons, which led to her being very backward in her understanding.

Just like when she was first unsealed, she hasn't fully grasped the current ninja world yet.

The reason why Ziyuan was confused was—weren't all those who were sealed away great demon kings and bad guys?

Why is this red-eyed lady in front of me also sealed?

Although her methods were a bit harsh, she didn't seem like some kind of villainous demon king.

at last.

Following the story of the strawberry cake and Uchiha Hikaru, Shion decides to take Bai Mo and his group to the place where the soul of the demon is sealed.

Ziyuan had also thought about it. If Bai Mo and the others really wanted to use the power of the demons to conquer the ninja world, then there should only be one faction with that power.

How come there's both the Tsuchikage and the Hokage?

If that's the case, then it means Bai Mo and the others didn't lie to her.

As long as the initial intention is good, she can accept it.

If the demons run rampant, she can simply seal them away again.

This is the priestess's mission.

Instead of living in constant fear, why not take the initiative and embrace it?

"Once the demon is resurrected, its immortal army of stone golems will appear, and the ninja world will become very dangerous, so I will..."

Ziyuan walked ahead, recounting her preparations.

To be honest, the shrine maiden's power is indeed considerable.

It was passed down through generations, then sealed by a bell, but after being unsealed, it still possessed some power.

It's a real shame that Shion, along with all the priestesses throughout history, has never had much combat training.

All the priestesses are defeated by mechanics and stats.

Normally, his abilities are sealed, and he lives like an ordinary person, but the seal is broken at crucial moments.

That combat experience is indeed comparable to [Sleepy Kaguya].

"An army of immortal stone golems... Then tell me, before your mother sealed away the demons many years ago, where did this powerful army attack?"

Bai Mo countered with a question.

"No, Mother sacrificed herself to protect the world, sealing it away before it could wreak havoc."

Ziyuan shook her head.

"Have you ever considered what the first thing you would face if the demon hadn't been sealed away and had begun its invasion of the ninja world?"

Bai Mo continued to press for answers.

"...I don't know, is it the Tsuchikage?"

Shion clearly hadn't studied geography much, and could only guess at the black soil based on what the guard had mentioned earlier about it bordering the Land of Earth.

"It wasn't me; it was an old man I encountered back then."

Kurotsuchi spread his hands and said, "If it's the old man, then you priestesses won't need to seal the demon. The old man can use Dust Release to physically seal the demon and its army."

Yeah, it's just that Dust Release consumes a lot of chakra.

But since the demons claim to be conquering the world, it's not a big deal to let the old man put in a little more effort, right?

"What is Dust Release?"

Aster was curious.

"..."

Kurotsuchi, who was smiling calmly with her chin raised, immediately darkened upon hearing this: "You know nothing, so what makes you think that the demons can conquer the ninja world?"

well.

This statement speaks to the hearts of so many people.

It's said that the Land of Earth is quite peculiar. Several times in the movies, when villains were about to appear and attempt to conquer the ninja world, they all had to pass through the Land of Earth and give Onoki's Dust Release a chance to practice first.

The Snow Country's Fuuka Nutō, who previously attempted to conquer the ninja world with a geothermal generator, was one such example.

Now there's another one, Wangliang.

The theatrical version of the final battle was quite exciting to watch, with everyone furiously making all sorts of high-level dumplings.

But from an outsider's perspective, what level of strength does Naruto in this form of Rasengan possess? How much weaker is he compared to Naruto in Nine-Tails Mode?

If even someone as strong as Naruto can beat the villains so badly they scream in agony, then how much prestige can the villains possibly have?

Strangely enough...

Shion has never appeared in the Naruto mobile game.

Quite a few other theatrical versions have been released.

As a priestess, Shion is one of the few beings whose power has exploded after her power was unsealed.

The prophecy mechanism could even be used to create a Crimson King.

Why would you rather be a fictional, wandering shrine maiden named Rin than Shion?

Could it be because Shion bluntly said "have a baby" that the production team, the god of pure love, censored it as if she were a NTR character?

While Bai Mo was thinking, Zi Yuan quietly began to lead the way.

She was too afraid to speak.

I feel somewhat wronged.

She realized that she really was as ignorant as Uchiha Hikaru had said.

Every word she uttered exposed her ignorance.

"Who is it?"

Several kunai were blocked by Kurotsuchi with a casual wave of his hand and fell to the ground.

Then several people who were wrapped up very tightly jumped out.

The question "Who is it?" was not spoken by Heitu, but by the other party.

"Attack first, then ask 'who are you'? Looks like an enemy."

Uchiha Hikaru stepped forward.

As everyone knows, the kunai is a terrifying weapon.

Hashirama Senju could commit suicide with a kunai, and Danzo could stab Susanoo with a kunai.

These people attacked them with dangerous weapons like kunai, which was a death sentence for them.

"Amatiras".

"..."

The flame of kindness, Amaterasu, burned away the sins of the minor villains.

Guang nudged Ziyuan, who was startled by the villain's screams, and told her to continue leading the way.
