At the same time.
Far to the west of the Land of Earth...
There was a small country called the Land of Demons.
This country was about the same size as other small countries such as the Land of Rain, the Land of Grass, and the Land of Valleys.
In the southern part of the country, at the frontier, around the "Underground Sealing Palace."
"Finally... the time has come!"
The ninja named "Yomi," dressed in a black trench coat, stood among the crowd and stared ahead.
Around him stood over a hundred ninja.
These ninja were all from the Land of Demons.
There were ordinary combat ninja, the Reconnaissance Team, Medical Ninja, and members of the research department...
Everyone obeyed the daimyo of the Land of Demons.
There was also a guard corps made up of several hundred other people.
It consisted of samurai, guards, ronin, and Onmyoji.
The Land of Demons was a traditional country.
It had preserved the appearance it had a thousand years ago...
Therefore.
Many professions that had vanished elsewhere could still be found here.
Because of its complete inheritance and long history.
Although the ninja of the Land of Demons had never entered the sight of the Five Great Nations...
The influence this country had created was extraordinarily far-reaching.
For example... this country had produced many famous scholars, historians, and philosophers.
"His Highness the Daimyo..."
Yomi looked toward the young man in front of him, who was dressed in splendid robes and wore a tall hat called an "Eboshi."
In recent years, after the new daimyo of the Land of Demons took office...
This young man had worked diligently to strengthen the country.
He had changed the traditions of the past.
He had even developed the ambition to contend for supremacy in the Shinobi World
