The new year is coming, and the new year is coming.

Unconsciously, Shokuhou Misaki has been in the Land of Demons for nearly a month as "Misaka Mikoto". During this month, she has been staying in the residence arranged by Miroku. In her spare time, she is either practicing lightning attribute chakra or practicing physical skills with Biwa Juzo and Kuroki Raiga.

Shokuhou Misaki's physical skills are her shortcoming. Without the blessing of the Sage Mode, her physical skills value is only 8. This value is not particularly good even among the top ninjas, let alone the Kage-level strongmen. In comparison, as the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Biwa Juzo and Kuroki Raiga both have physical skills of 9, and are masters of physical skills in the ninja world. Especially the use of ninja tools, which is the forte of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

So practicing with them, Shokuhou Misaki's physical skills have made great progress. And as predecessors, Biwa Juzo and Kuroho Raiga have also done their best to teach "Misaka Mikoto". In this way, Shokuhou Misaki's physical skills have improved a lot in the past month. Now even if she does not use the Sage Mode, her physical skills level can reach 9.

It was also in this month that the Demon Kingdom held a grand ceremony. Knowing that his life was coming to an end, Miroku officially passed the position of the shrine maiden to his daughter in front of everyone in the Demon Kingdom. When everything was ready, Miroku found Shokuhou Misaki and others, and prepared to leave the Demon Kingdom with everyone to complete the task given to him by the dragon vein.

Of course, before going to the Valley Kingdom, everyone had to go to the Swamp Kingdom with Miroku. Because Miroku still needs to release the "魍魉" from the seal of the Swamp Kingdom, and then seal it on himself. Only after obtaining the "魍魉" can Maitreya have the strength of a super shadow level and be qualified to fight against Isshiki Otsutsuki.

So everyone followed Maitreya to the Swamp Country and walked into the depths of the seal of the "魍魉". It was a deep cave, and the ground was full of boiling magma. The mysterious barrier gathered the natural energy around it and suppressed the monsters underground that were comparable to the tailed beasts. Feeling the arrival of the contemporary witch, the sealed "魍魉" immediately became restless.

"It's you, Maitreya!"

Hearing the "魍魉" calling Maitreya's name directly, Shokuhou Misaki subconsciously looked at Maitreya, and the meaning in her eyes was clearly:

Isn't it said that the "魍魉" has been sealed all the time? Why does it know your name? Does the "魍魉" also have the ability to predict the future? Or as the half of the shrine maiden, you and the "Wangliang" are in tune with each other?

Sensing Shokuhou Misaki's doubts, Miroku explained:

"This is not the first time I have met "Wangliang". In fact, before this, I took the initiative to unlock the seal of "Wangliang".

"Why? Aren't you worried that "Wangliang" will bring disaster?" Kurochu Raiga asked puzzledly.

"Compared to disasters, I wanted to overcome fate more at that time." Miroku sighed:

"As a shrine maiden, my life was destined from birth. As the guardian of the Land of Demons, I sealed the 'ghosts' and intimidated the enemies who coveted the Land of Demons. Then I gave birth to a child who inherited the blood of the shrine maidens, and then died before the age of 40. Every generation of shrine maidens is like this, with no future and no possibilities of their own."

"Such a life, such a fate, you can know the end of your death without foreknowledge, can you accept it?"

Shokuhou Misaki and others shook their heads slightly when they heard this, indicating that they could not accept it.

"I couldn't accept it at the time." Maitreya said:

"In order to get rid of the fate of the witch, I started to try various methods. But unfortunately, these methods all failed. Even every time I tried, the dragon vein would directly give me the future of these attempts, telling me that these attempts were meaningless. Then the future was exactly as the dragon vein predicted."

"After trying for seven or eight years, I began to despair. I even changed my name to the name of the future Buddha, hoping to get the Buddha's blessing. But the facts proved that the so-called Buddha who saves suffering does not exist. So in despair, I took the initiative to unlock the seal of "魍魉", hoping to gain the power to transcend fate."

"Then, you failed?" Shokuhou Misaki said again.

Miroku nodded and said:

"Soon after the seal was released, the 'Wangliang' lost control and almost caused the Ghost Country to suffer a disaster. I spent a lot of effort to seal the 'Wangliang' again, but I didn't expect that part of its soul still escaped. Later, it even almost hurt my daughter Shion... For

To save Shion, I had to use the power of the dragon vein to reverse time and space. But the price is that I have now completely become the agent of the dragon vein and have lost all the possibilities of resisting fate. "

"Of course, the above are not the most desperate. The most desperate thing is that the dragon vein has predicted all the above things in advance. Even if I kept trying to resist during the execution, the final result was still the same as the prophecy. It was after experiencing this failure that I completely gave up. We, the people of the ninja world, can't defeat fate after all! "

As a shrine maiden, Maitreya's fate is almost the same as Shokuhou Misaki's. The dragon vein is to Maitreya as the system is to Shokuhou Misaki. The difference is that the system has never made any demands on Shokuhou Misaki, and while the dragon vein protects the Kingdom of Ghosts, it also takes away the future of the shrine maidens of all generations.

Even in the actions of self-preservation, Maitreya's approach is quite similar to Shokuhou Misaki. Shokuhou Misaki gave the identities of the three religions of Taoism to his own avatar, while Maitreya took the name of the future Buddha of Buddhism as his own name. The behavior of the two is essentially the same, both of them praying to the gods when they are powerless.

The reason why the fates of the two people are different is just because Shokuhou Misaki is luckier than Maitreya. If Shokuhou Misaki's system is also the same as the dragon vein, using various methods to force Shokuhou Misaki, What can Shokuhou Misaki do? After all, all her power comes from the system, and she doesn't even have the possibility of resisting the system.

Of course, compared with most people in the ninja world, Miroku's fate is still good.

At least as a shrine maiden, she has no worries about food and drink, she still has value to the dragon veins, and she can know the trajectory of her own destiny. In comparison, the fate of most people in the ninja world is actually not as good as Miroku. For example, some simple and passionate teenagers think that as long as they work hard, they can gain something. In fact, their efforts are not worth mentioning compared with the genius arranged by fate.

That's right, I'm talking about you, Xiao Li!

Even if you and your teacher Akai work harder, what's the point?

Once the protagonist's plug-in arrives, it will instantly kill your decades of hard work.

This is the ninja world, all destinies are arranged The world of despair that has been arranged is also the world that Shokuhou Misaki wants to change.

As Shokuhou Misaki thought so, the seal of "Wangliang" had been unlocked by Maitreya. Then, everyone saw a black monster rushing out from the ground full of magma, heading straight for Maitreya. The monster was full of evil and corrupt aura, and its whole body was wrapped in black shadows.

Shokuhou Misaki looked carefully and saw that the body of "Wangliang" seemed to be a strange snake with countless heads and tails, and it was also like an octopus that sprang out from the depths of the ocean. As "Wangliang" and Maitreya approached, the auras of the two began to echo each other. This undoubtedly proved what Maitreya said, that part of her soul came from the first generation of priestess, and she was one with "Wangliang".

Obviously, at this moment, "Wangliang" wanted Merge with Miroku's soul and become a complete first-generation shrine maiden. Miroku also wants to seal the "魍魉" in his body to gain super-shadow-level strength. In order to gain dominance after fusion, the two began to fight in the underground cave of Swamp Country.

Unlike ninjas, because the first-generation shrine maidens separated the chakra seeds in their bodies, there are no chakra seeds in the bodies of successive shrine maidens. They have been practicing from the beginning to condense chakra using natural energy. In this way, the practice of shrine maidens is more difficult than that of ninjas, but the upper limit of shrine maidens' strength is higher.

For example, ordinary ninjas will stop at the level of shadow, while shrine maidens can still make progress after the level of shadow. For example, as a contemporary shrine maiden, Miroku, even though she is just over 30 years old this year, her strength is already above most shadow-level strongmen. If she continues to grow, she may be promoted to super shadow level after the age of 40, with strength comparable to the first generation of Hokage and Uchiha Madara.

Because of the difference in the fundamental method of cultivation, Maitreya's fighting style is also different from that of ninjas. Compared with the simple twelve seals of ninjas, the hand seals of the witch are obviously much more fancy. When she faced the threat of "Wangliang", she formed the seal of Acala with both hands, chanted the Buddha's name, and the natural energy around her turned into Acala, which directly collided with the body of "Wangliang".

Boom!

After the collision between the two, the illusory Acala dissipated, and "Wangliang" was beaten back by Acala. Feeling Maitreya's power, "Wangliang" was surprised:

"Your strength has reached this level?"

Not only "Wangliang", but also Biwa Juzo and Kurochu Raiga on the side also opened their mouths wide at this moment.

It's a pity that they wanted to attack Maitreya at the beginning, but now it seems that the two of them are just adding to Maitreya.

Together, they are no match for Miroku! The strength shown by this miko is no worse than that of the fourth generation Mizukage Yagura! But Yagura is a perfect Jinchūriki. In comparison, the miko can exert this level of power by herself. This guy is also a monster!

"Since you know my strength, you should just surrender! You and I are both the first generation miko half-body, and the fight between us is meaningless." Miroku advised.

"No meaning? How can it be meaningless!"

Feeling the breath of Miroku, "Wangliang" made a hoarse sound. Perhaps because of anger, "Wangliang" is no longer the male voice in the animation. At this moment, her voice is somewhat similar to Miroku. Obviously, this female voice is the true voice of "Wangliang", which is the proof of her miko half-body.

"We are human beings, not domesticated animals! As the half of a shrine maiden, don't you want to overcome fate? It's great to dominate your own future and control the whole world in your own hands. Why do we have to listen to the arrangement of the dragon vein? With your strength and my power, we can do whatever we want!"

"Wangliang"'s voice was full of charm, but Maitreya just said:

"Although we are both half of the first generation of shrine maidens, I am different from you. Because I also have the Ghost Kingdom and my daughter. I am not only myself, I am also the guardian of the Ghost Kingdom and the mother of Shion."

"Guardian, mother? Haha, ridiculous!" "Wangliang" said disdainfully:

"As long as you merge with me, we can seize control of the dragon vein and have eternal life. What will family affection mean by then, and what will a small ghost country mean? For these inexplicable things, you are willing to become a running dog of the dragon vein. Is this your capacity? "

"There are some things you won't understand." Maitreya said while making the Aquarius Seal:

"Besides, do you really think you can transcend the control of the dragon vein? And even if you transcend, what will happen? It's just from one sea of ​​suffering to another. Just like the source of the darkness in you, the man who calls himself the God of Otsutsuki, even if he transcends the ninja world, has he really escaped from the sea of ​​suffering? As long as there is greed and desire in your heart, no matter how powerful the power is, no matter what world you transcend to, you are actually just sinking in the sea of ​​suffering. "

As Maitreya said this, the Buddha's light on his body became more and more brilliant. Feeling the breath of Maitreya, "Wangliang" sneered:

"Haha! You gave yourself the name of Buddha, do you really think you have become a Buddha!"

"Don't forget, I am you, I know you better than anyone else! I am your inner desire, and also your truest desire! I understand better than anyone else that you actually desire powerful power more than I do! You hope to get rid of the control of the dragon veins, you want to conquer the ninja world with the Kingdom of Ghosts, and you even want your daughter to become the most noble princess in the world!"

"Admit it! You are just a hypocrite with six impure roots! What if this world is a sea of ​​suffering? With power, the sea of ​​suffering is a pure land. Without power, the pure land is also a sea of ​​suffering! Having power is better than having no power! Being able to bully others at will, being able to kill and devour other people's chakra everywhere, isn't this the real paradise?"

...

As the two sides of the first generation of witches, Maitreya and "Wangliang" can never really defeat each other. Even though Maitreya's strength was superior to that of "Wangliang", she could only seal it. At this moment, "Wangliang" knew that it was no match for Maitreya, so it tried to disturb Maitreya's heart through words, wanting to create a flaw in Maitreya's mind and then seize Maitreya's body.

However, Maitreya relied on the dragon vein and had anticipated everything that happened now. She remained unmoved despite the constant temptation of "Wangliang". Seeing that the Buddha's light on Maitreya's body was constantly eroding itself and trying to seal itself in the body, "Wangliang" finally said:

"Have you ever thought that the first generation of witches may have died long ago!"

Maitreya was unmoved, "Wangliang" said again:

"I am the half of the first generation of witches, I know her better than you! The dragon veins recorded that she killed her daughter for immortality, harmed her granddaughter, and even massacred thousands of people in the ghost country. But I know that she is a good person. Even if she sealed me early, I know she can't kill so many people, I believe her!"

Hearing this, Maitreya was still unmoved. "Wangliang" finally said:

"Maitreya, don't be silly, the dragon veins are just afraid of your power! What the will of the first generation of witches will awaken after 40 years old, this is all a lie! In fact, everyone knows that the power of the witch will be out of control after 40 years old! The dragon veins just keep using the children of the successive witches.

"I'm just threatening you with my son and forcing you to die!"

"Wake up and don't be fooled by the prophecy of the dragon vein! You..."

It was during this last noise that Miroku completely sealed the "Wangling" into his body.

After the seal was completed, Miroku put down his hands and sighed:

"The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, turn back now!"

After that, Miroku said to Shokuhou Misaki and others beside him:

"Okay, let's go! "

After that, Miroku left Shokuhou Misaki and the other two and chose to leave. Shokuhou Misaki looked at Miroku's departing back and thought to herself:

What Miroku said at the beginning might not be the truth. Instead, what this "ghost" said was more like the truth. The first-generation shrine maiden was not some indescribable outer god. How could her will last for hundreds of years and continue to entangle the successive shrine maidens? In comparison, the cause of death of the successive shrine maidens was more likely to be the fear of the dragon vein.

After all, in the entire ninja world where everyone is restricted by chakra seeds, the shrine maiden is the only uncontrolled existence. If the shrine maiden continues to grow uncontrollably, it is only a matter of time before she has the power of the Otsutsuki level. And such a powerful force must be beyond the control of the dragon vein. Miroku should have expected this. But in the face of the dragon vein's hostage, she could only choose to surrender. Even if she knew the truth, she could only prepare to fight Otsutsuki Isshiki under the arrangement of the dragon vein.

"Let's go! ”

Seeing that Miroku had already walked away, Shokuhou Misaki said to Biwa Juzo and Kuroki Raiga beside her.

“Do we really want to keep going?”

At this moment, Biwa Juzo looked at the traces of Miroku’s battle with “Wangliang” just now, and said with lingering fear:

“This Miroku is not a simple character, and the merchant from the Valley Country is probably not a good guy. With our strength, it seems that it is not suitable to get involved in these things!”

Kuroki Raiga also said:

“Juzo is right, it is better to be cautious at this time. Although 100 million taels is very tempting, I don’t want to lose my life for money. "

After the battle just now, even if Biwa Juzo and Kuroki Raiga's brains were not working well, they also realized the danger of this matter. This Maitreya was originally very powerful, and now she has obtained the power of the monster. In this case, she actually said that she would definitely die on this trip. She was like this, not to mention Biwa Juzo and Kuroki Raiga, two elite jonin.

So in the face of life threats, Biwa Juzo and Kuroki Raiga were ready to give up the mission, after all, their lives were important.

"Is that so?" Shokuhou Misaki also expressed her understanding of the two people's caution. So she said directly:

"In that case, I will follow Maitreya alone! The two seniors should go back to the underground gold exchange first, and I will find you after I complete the mission."

After saying that, he ignored the two and rushed to the direction of Maitreya.

Seeing this, Kuroki Raiga said to Biwa Juzo on the side

"What should I do? Do we really have to go back first? "

"Go ahead if you want to go back. As a senior of Kirigakure, I can't let Misaka participate in such a dangerous mission alone!"

After that, Biwa Juzo also chased after him.

Seeing this, Kurochu Raiga said dissatisfiedly:

"Really, one or two of you are like this, are you impatient for me to dig your graves?"

After that, Kurochu Raiga snorted in dissatisfaction, and finally chased after him.

"Two seniors, what are you doing?" Looking at the two people who caught up, Shokuhou Misaki said with a little surprise.

"There is no way, who makes us your seniors!" Biwa Juzo said helplessly.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just going to collect your bodies! "Kuroho Raiga also said.

Seeing the two people knowing that this trip was very dangerous, but still resolutely chasing after them, Shokuhou Misaki was naturally very moved. She originally just wanted to use her identity as a rebel ninja of Kirigakure to join the Akatsuki organization. Who would have thought that these two rebel ninjas of Kirigakure actually regarded her as a junior and took care of her so much. So facing these two seniors, Shokuhou Misaki said:

"Don't worry! Two seniors, with me here, this mission will definitely be fine!"

At this moment, Shokuhou Misaki has secretly made up her mind to save the lives of these two people even if her identity is exposed.

So after another trek, the four of them arrived at the territory of the Valley Country. According to the instructions of the task, several people found Victor's men who were responsible for the connection. And under the guidance of these men, they found the short businessman Victor with a wretched face. Everyone gathered in Victor's office. Victor, who was wearing a suit, dispersed his men and looked at Maitreya and said:

"Are you the witch of the Ghost Country? I didn't expect that you would take the initiative to find me! "

Facing Victor, Maitreya also acted very calmly and said directly:

"I am not here to find

Yours, I'm here to find your master!"

My master?

Victor smiled coldly when he heard this title.

Obviously, he didn't like having a master, and he didn't like being regarded as a lackey.

"The leader of your Kara organization, the guy named Jigen, is in the Valley Country, right? I want to talk to him in person about the specific matters. As for you, you are not qualified to listen in."

"You! ”

Seeing Miroku being so rude, Victor was about to explode. But when he thought of the leader’s power, Victor could only hide his dissatisfaction in his heart. With the help of the communication means of the Kara organization, he began to try to contact the leader of the Kara organization.

In just a moment, the surrounding space was distorted. In the surprised eyes of everyone, a monk appeared here. The man was wearing a white haori, his hair gathered on the top of his head, with a long braid behind his head, a Roman numeral IV tattooed under his left eye, and a "wedge" mark on his chin. This is the leader of the Kara organization, Isshiki Otsutsuki.

However, now he is seriously injured because of Kaguya Otsutsuki's backstab, so he can only rely on the body of this monk named Jigen, and can't exert his full strength at all. But even so, his strength is now infinitely close to the Six Paths level. And as long as he releases the power of the wedge on his body, he can instantly become a Six Paths master. Of course, the price is that this body is likely to collapse.

"Are we finally meeting? The witch of the ghost country. "Looking at Maitreya, Otsutsuki Isshiki said leisurely:

"Since you came here on your own initiative, you should know why I'm looking for you!"

"I know." Maitreya nodded.

"That's good. Then tell me, is the strongest person in the history of our Otsutsuki clan, the legendary existence that transcends the ninja world, Otsutsuki Shibaui still alive?"
