"nothing."

Kakashi came back to his senses, waved his hand and said: "The most important thing is to quickly go to the Kingdom of Demons to meet the miko."

Several people nodded, and then they were about to use the teleportation technique to leave.

Suddenly, a bright blue light lit up, and the six Kakashi people all walked towards it.

I saw several figures appearing in the jungle opposite. Judging from their clothing, they seemed to be Kumogakure's ninjas.

"Did the miko even ask Kumogakure to help?"

After pondering for a moment, Kakashi said: "We can cooperate with them to break through the siege of the stone statue soldiers and enter the hinterland of the Ghost Country."

The current major enemies are monsters and the Underworld Sect, so in this crisis situation, they are not averse to cooperating with Kumogakure.

So, everyone thought for a moment and nodded in agreement with Kakashi's proposal.

Kakashi and Yamato, who were responsible for the breakthrough, stood at the front of the team, with three students from Neji in the middle, and Metkai at the back.

However, Neji insisted on taking the rear seat with Yamato.

Knowing Neji's strength, Kai didn't waste any words and nodded decisively in agreement.

squeak squeak!!

Amidst a sharp chirping sound like a bird's cry, Kakashi's palm was wrapped in purple lightning.

"Thunder Release Chidori!"

In an instant, Kakashi's figure burst into the array of stone soldiers like a spear flashing with lightning.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

Amidst a series of roars, several stone soldiers fell to the ground one after another, and Kakashi, bathed in purple electric light, tore through the queue of stone soldiers.

The super-speed assault ability of Thunder Release was demonstrated vividly by Kakashi.

Hinata Neji, who was at the end of the team, used his Byakugan and Soft Fist with all his strength. The stone statue soldiers' originally stiff and slow attacks were in his eyes no longer lethal in slow motion.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Through close combat, Hyuga Neji keenly discovered that the chakra aura in these stone soldiers was exactly the same.

"Does all this chakra come from that monster?"

Unknowingly, some evil and violent thoughts arose in Neji's heart.

"Wood Release·Tree Boundary Wall!"

In an instant, a shield formed by multiple wooden vines grew rapidly from the ground, protecting the tunnel that Kakashi forcibly broke through, and established a temporary safe passage among the array of stone statue soldiers.

Since it didn't take much effort, a few people broke through the encirclement of the stone statue soldiers and entered the hinterland of the Kingdom of Ghosts safely.

At the same time, two people from the Cloud Hidden Team in the distance also formed seals together.

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"

The chakra in the body quickly gathered in the throat, turning into turbulent water and spitting it forward from the mouth.

Behind the two of them, a ninja with black skin and white hair, and tattoos of "Thunder" and "Water" engraved on his left and right shoulders, followed closely behind and quickly formed seals with his hands.

"Thunder Release·Grateful Wave!"

The blue thunder and lightning followed the water flow and turned into electric current and rushed towards the stone soldiers.

The stone soldiers were shattered one after another, further tearing apart the array of stone soldiers.

After all the stone soldiers here were cleared, the fluctuations and sounds of the battle gradually dissipated.

Konoha and Kumogakure looked at each other.

"Konoha's number one technician, copy ninja, Hatake Kakashi?"

"The Jonin of Kumogakure, the guardian of the Fourth Raikage, Darui?"

The two white-haired men looked at each other with dead fish eyes open, and they both saw the meaning in each other's eyes.

--So complicated.

"snort!"

The cloud ninja looked at Neci and the others and said in a strange tone: "Is there no one left in Konoha? You actually sent three brats to a place like this."

The average age of the third shift that Metkai is in charge of is only twelve years old.

So in terms of height, he is indeed a head shorter than those two miscellaneous Kumo ninjas.

"Two wastes. For a task of this level, the three of us are enough."

Hyuga Neji glanced at them and replied in a cold tone: "Also, you'd better be careful. If something happens during the mission, it's not an accident to die here."

Normally, if someone provokes him, he might not bother to pay attention.

However, under the influence of that chakra, he couldn't hold back for a while when faced with Kumogakure, who had invaded Hinata.

Yun Ren's face suddenly darkened.

"Kid, do you want to die?"

"If you can do it, you can try it. It's just a good time to settle the old and new grudges together!"

Facing such a bastard chuunin, Hyuga Neji showed no fear at all and showed his murderous intent.

Feeling the cold killing intent, the two Cloud Ninjas also narrowed their eyes and placed their hands on the short swords at their waists.

As for the people on Konoha's side, Tiantian and Xiao Li were in fighting postures, and they were also on guard.

"Want a fight? What a youth!"

Kai grinned and clenched his fists, looking like he was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.

In an instant, the two sides became very explosive.

"Ah, it's really troublesome."

Even so, Kakashi still did not stop Neji and the others.

He knew exactly why the Kumogakure ninja was provoking.

After all, Yunyin and his group of main war factions have been on the move recently, and I heard that they are still robbing and collecting the secrets of other forces and countries.

The more this happens, the more you cannot retreat.

They represent Konoha now.

"We are really sorry for the trouble."

Darui scratched his head and said lazily: "Everyone, now is not the time to argue. The monsters are already approaching here."

Both sides know very well that when the monster is coming, internal strife is not a wise choice.

With Darui's steps in sight, Kakashi and others descended down the slope, each taking a step back to maintain temporary peace.

Everyone came to a high place and looked at the towering shrine in the distance.

The shrine is currently shrouded in a purple barrier. The surrounding stone soldiers seem to be unable to enter the barrier and can only surround the shrine layer by layer.

Seeing this scene, Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the shrine has not been captured yet, and the shrine maiden should be safe now."

Darui slumped his shoulders and asked: "But, there are so many stone soldiers outside, how are we going to get in?"

Kakashi turned his head and looked at Neji behind him: "Neji, can you find the route into the shrine?"

Neji had already opened his eyes, shook his head and said: "The shrine has been completely surrounded by those stone soldiers, leaving no gaps or blind spots."

Hearing this, Metkai smiled nonchalantly and said: "Haha, it seems I can only force my way in!"

However, everyone in Konoha and Kumogakure knew very well that breaking through was obviously not an easy task.

They have already dealt with these stone statue soldiers.

Although the movements of the stone soldiers are extremely clumsy and slow, once they form a formation, they will be very difficult to deal with.

However, everyone who was thinking about it did not notice Ningji's slightly weird expression and eyes.

………………

The sky was getting dark, and the sunset dyed the western horizon red. It was an extremely beautiful dusk.

At the same time, in the barrier where everyone is watching.

"Is this the Witch Goddess Shrine in the Kingdom of Ghosts?"

A red torii gate stands in front of the shrine, with a red bird perched on it.

Menma passed through the red torii gate and walked along the mountain path.

At the top of the mountain path is the shrine where the shrine maiden from the land of ghosts lives.

Huge buildings were built on huge platforms.

It is more like a palace than a shrine.

From this height, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Ghost Country.

After all, it is the residence of the witches of the Demon Country, so it is normal to have such a majestic palace.

However, given the highest status of a miko, she should be protected by maids and guards.

There is really a lack of people here. There is not a single person in front of the empty shrine, and the maids and guards have disappeared.

The air here is clean and clear, giving people a wonderful feeling that can wash away the dirt in the soul.

However, in this clean and clear air, there is still a bit of biting chill.

It's not a cold caused by weather changes, but something more thorough and profound.

Judging from the wide open door of the shrine...

"It seems like you are waiting for me."

Menma smiled with interest and continued walking up the steps on the mountain path.

After crossing the long steps, we finally arrived at the shrine.

Walking along the long corridor of the shrine, the trees in the courtyard complement the dusk.

The atmosphere in the shrine was very quiet, as if separated from the chaos outside, which made Menma feel comfortable.

"Is this the power of a miko?"

Menma thought secretly in his heart: "It's completely opposite to the nature of the demon's power."

The powers of monsters and witches are inexplicably similar.

However, the properties displayed are completely opposite.

If it is the power of monsters, it is like all the dark and dirty parts of human hearts.

The power of the witch gives people a feeling of being supreme and inviolable.

Comfort, tranquility, nature, stability...

The reason why he could feel this change should be due to the influence of the witch's power.

This made Menma even more curious about the power of miko.

He came to the main hall and the door was open.

In the empty main hall, a girl wearing a luxurious witch costume knelt on a high platform.

Beside her was a slightly illusory figure of a woman.

Although the faces of the two people could not be seen clearly because of the curtain.

But compared to the girl with an ordinary temperament, that woman gave Menma an ethereal, ethereal feeling.

Menma even felt that the person he was looking at was not a flesh-and-blood human being, but some other special creature with no "human" smell on his body.

"First meeting, Mr. Menma Uzumaki."

The woman's voice broke the silence in the main hall.

Menma sat cross-legged on the mat in front of the high platform, opened his mind's eyes to perceive, and frowned subconsciously.

"My name is Maitreya, and this is my daughter Ziyuan."

Miroku said softly and calmly: "Mr. Menma should be able to sense it, right?"

Menma nodded and asked with interest: "Is there really no problem in transferring power to the next generation, Lord Maitreya?"

Miroku's condition seemed stable at this time, but Menma could sense her weakness.

On the contrary, Ziyuan's aura next to her is getting stronger and stronger, and Maitreya's power is transferring to him.

Now, the critical point should have been reached.

Although he didn't know the specific reason, Menma was convinced that miko inherited mysterious power, which was completely different from the ninja system.

The historical origin of the country of Oni may be traced back to the era of Kaguya.

The looseness of the demon's seal should also be due to the transfer of the witch's power.

"It doesn't matter, this is the fate of a miko, and it is also the responsibility that a miko must bear."

Maitreya said in a calm tone: "Even if I am gone, Ziyuan will become a miko, and monsters will not be able to break the seal."

There was no so-called sadness in her tone, and she seemed not to care about her own death.

"Is this the so-called fate again?"

Menma touched his chin and said expressionlessly: "That old toad likes this kind of inexplicable thing the most. I didn't expect you mikos to like it too."

Compared with the indifference of a living beetle who sees through everything in the world, Maitreya seems more like he has seen too many unchangeable facts and finally accepted his future and death calmly.

Because of the power passed down from generation to generation, witches can see the fate of human death.

He is both respected and feared by people.

To be precise, witches should be a fragment of the good side of human beings.

However, Menma didn't like this feeling.

"Now that you can see death."

Menma raised his eyebrows and said in a calm tone: "So, can the miko-sama see my death?"

"Well, I saw it."

Maitreya said bluntly: "However, I only got your appearance and information. When I wanted to continue looking at it, the picture was blurred and blocked by a red moon."

"Then, the power in my body was completely exhausted, and it also affected the demon's seal."

Maitreya himself was actually very confused.

When "prophecies" were made in the past, the picture never appeared blurry, and at most it ended directly.

However, the "prophecy" of trying everything was rubbed against Menma's body.

"Yeah?"

Menma raised the corners of his mouth and said jokingly: "Maybe I will never die?"

The witch's ability...seems quite interesting.

"maybe."

The smile on Maitreya's face did not change, and he did not comment on Ma's words: "Someone is helping the demon. The moment I pass away, the demon is likely to escape."

"I invite you to come here now because I hope you can protect Shion and prevent monsters from escaping and causing harm to the ninja world."

This is not a good thing for Menma either.

Therefore, he stopped talking nonsense and asked directly: "What can I get?"

"...The surrender of the ghost country, and the inheritance of the shrine maiden."

"The inheritance of the miko?"

"This is the inheritance of immortal magic that you hope to get. It is the power called witchcraft that has been passed down from ancient times."

Maitreya sat there, the scroll in his hand levitated automatically and fell into Menma's hand.

Menma opened the scroll and glanced at it calmly. After reading it, a rare and strange look appeared on his face.

"Three types of ancient witchcraft?"

Divine witchcraft uses various spells to seal the body or soul of the target.

God prays for witchcraft, using means of prayer such as sacrifice or favor, to pray to the gods for blessings and avoiding disasters.

Divine witchcraft, also known as precognition, can predict God's will and what will happen.

Is this the magical inheritance of witches?

"In ancient times, at that time, the goddess Mao had not yet arrived."

Maitreya explained aloud: "Because people lack the grasp and understanding of nature, they cannot understand the phenomena of natural disasters such as lightning and thunder, solar and lunar eclipses, landslides and floods."

"So it all comes down to the control of gods, and then we respect nature and believe that everything has animism."

"This also gave rise to the worship of nature and primitive witchcraft, hoping to master the power of controlling nature through certain rituals and methods."

"Later, due to its extremely harsh cultivation conditions and the spread of more popular chakra, this power that humans call witchcraft gradually disappeared."
