Chapter 219 Departure to the Land of Ghosts
After the New Year, when Yahiko had adapted to the changes of the new era, Shiba Kiyokawa officially led the team to the Land of Demons to carry out the mission.
This time he took Konan and Nagato away with him, leaving Yahiko and Kakuzu in charge of looking after the house.
Facing the confused Yahiko, Shiba Kiyokawa gave sincere advice.
"The Rain Country is developing very well now. The Ninja School has recruited many outstanding new students. They just happen to be in need of a principal. I suggest you take over."
At that time, Yahiko pondered for a moment, then nodded and agreed.
Although he had just woken up, Yahiko had already felt the changes in Akatsuki and realized that he had fallen far behind Shiba Kiyokawa.
Now he is gradually accepting the fact that he is no longer qualified to be a leader, and is gradually letting go of his obsession. He just wants to take a closer look at this new Rain Kingdom.
He wanted to confirm with his own eyes whether his current life was really as beautiful as Shiba Kiyokawa promised.
If everything is true, then he is willing to follow Shiba Kiyokawa's arrangements and be a good principal with peace of mind.
Perhaps after hearing many stories that happened this year, Yahiko finally realized that Shiba Kiyokawa was indeed much better than him in leading the organization!
After handing over the rear, Shiba Kiyokawa assembled the troops, and the Sixth Battalion of the Akatsuki organization was ready to set off again!
After entering the border of the Demon Kingdom, the priestess came to the checkpoint in person to greet them.
This was the second time Xiaonan and the witch met. As soon as they met, sparks seemed to flash in their eyes.
A few months ago, Konan led a team here. At that time, the priestess of the Demon Country rejected all the conditions of the Akatsuki organization in an extremely tough manner.
Xiaonan remembered that the witch said:
"We will not ally with despicable warmongers, and we will never give up our land! Please go back, Akatsuki villains, and never set foot in the Land of Demons in your lifetime!"
Because both the miko and Konan could fly, their battle at that time never really set foot in the Land of Demons.
It’s a pity that the witch’s dominance could not be maintained consistently.
Now that the Demon Country is in trouble, looking around at the surrounding countries, in the end they can only ask for help from the Akatsuki organization.
Now that they met again, Xiaonan also acted mischievously with a calm face.
"Your Highness, I'm so sorry that I'm back again in my lifetime."
As she said this, she deliberately stomped her feet in front of the witch, indicating that she had set foot on the land of the demon kingdom.
All I can say is that after following Shiba Kiyokawa for a long time, even the gentle Xiaonan sister has become a bad person.
The guards beside the miko kept wiping their sweat upon hearing this.
It was still winter, but he was sweating profusely as soon as we met.
On the contrary, the witch herself just smiled calmly and bowed when she heard the words.
"Long time no see, angel of Akatsuki. Thank you very much for coming to the Akatsuki organization. I am really grateful for your willingness to lend a helping hand."
The last time we met he called me a villain, but this time he turned into an angel.
Xiaonan snorted lightly, and he felt the ups and downs of life.
And this time the witch not only surrendered with words, but also took actual action.
"Here are various ninjutsu and training materials that have been passed down for thousands of years in our Demon Country. In addition, this is the mid-term reward for this commission. Please accept it."
Seeing that the shrine maiden was so understanding, Shiba Qinghe didn't want to pursue her relentlessly, so he took the initiative to ask about the details of the mission.
"Now can you tell us what your commission actually involves?"
The miko nodded and said, "Everyone from the Akatsuki organization, please follow us. We will talk while we walk."
Then the witch finally told them in detail about the disaster she had predicted.
As Shiba Kiyokawa guessed, the source of the disaster is still the boss in the previous movie, named Wuliang. This evil creature has existed in the Land of Demons for thousands of years. It was mentioned in the movie that it was originally one with the first generation of the shrine maiden of the Land of Demons, but later the kind shrine maiden sealed Wuliang for some reason.
From then on, this thing became a historical legacy that every generation of priestesses in the Land of Demons had to worry about.
The abilities of the witches themselves are related to language, voodoo, and spells. They can predict the escape of monsters in advance.
The story line of the movie takes place more than ten years later, and in the play they go to Konoha for help.
This time, after the shrine maiden got the premonition in advance, she went to find the Akatsuki organization.
Although Shiba Kiyokawa still roughly remembered the settings of the play, he still pretended to be confused and asked at this time.
This is also to verify the accuracy of the intelligence.
"So what kind of power does this monster that Miko-sama is worried about have?"
The witch then explained, "Wangliang has the ability to control the dead. As long as he is alive, the undead army under his command is immortal!
If he is allowed to break the seal, it will be a catastrophe for the entire ninja world!"
The righteousness of what the miko said also provided preliminary confirmation for most of the information in Shiba Kiyokawa's memory.
But then, Shiba Kiyokawa asked the next question.
"Since the ghost can control the dead, what is his connection with the Pure Land?
In addition, since the witch said that this is not the first time that the ghost has awakened, then I would like to ask, have you tried to communicate with the ghost in the past thousand years? What is his purpose in resurrecting the dead?
Knowing his purpose, perhaps we can counter him more calmly."
The witch was stunned by his question, then answered solemnly.
"The purpose of resurrecting the dead? Of course, the purpose of these evil creatures playing with the dead is to destroy the world of the living. Is there any doubt about this?"
But when Shiba Qinghe heard this, he just looked at the witch deeply and then laughed softly.
"I see. Your Excellency the Miko is right."
Although he said it made sense, in fact, Shiba Kiyokawa had already had extra thoughts in his heart because of this question.
The question just now was actually a test.
Since the information in the play has been verified to be true, he took the opportunity to test the contemporary witch in front of him.
The result of the test was obvious: the other party still had reservations about Xiao.
At the end of the movie, it was clearly explained that the monster was originally one with the first generation of the shrine maiden, so his primary goal was to kill the shrine maiden of the Demon Country, cut off the shrine maiden's inheritance, and take back all his power!
As for what to do after the primary goal is achieved, the play does not say, and Wuliang does not have a chance to show it.
But now, the current priestess of the Demon Kingdom is unwilling to reveal even this first purpose.
They kept saying that they were fighting to protect the entire ninja world, but they never mentioned that the monster's first target was the miko herself.
To be honest, this made Shiba Qinghe a little confused.
If the person who came this time was a hot-blooded young man like the protagonist Naruto in the drama, then there might be some reason to do so.
But the one coming now is me!
He believes that his reputation as a person has little to do with being "pure and good".
Besides, the Demon Country has obviously paid, and paid a lot of money.
What is the purpose of continuing to conceal part of the truth at this time?
