Cruelty and kindness did not conflict

"How is it, Kanami?"

A figure rushed in from outside the temple.

Hinata Hyuga!

Hinata? What brings you here?

Looking at Kanami, who was radiating a pale purple light, Hinata Hyuga subconsciously asked...

Of course, he realized immediately after he finished speaking that he was asking a question he already knew the answer to.

Hinata appeared here because she used the Flying Thunder God Technique to appear.

I'm worried about you.

Hinata Hyuga looked at Kanami with a worried expression.

"Alright, let's stop with the PDA now. The Terracotta Warriors is about to come to life again, let's get out of here."

Naruto Uzumaki rolled his Byakugan.

Uchiha Sasuke glared at Naruto Uzumaki with obvious displeasure. "I told you not to come in, but you wouldn't listen and insisted on coming in anyway. Now you're the first one yelling to leave."

Kanami disagreed.

Although these Terracotta Warriors can be resurrected indefinitely, their actual combat strength is far inferior.

Kanami could completely crush those Impure World Reincarnation Ninja, let alone these Terracotta Warriors.

The only advantage is the sheer number of these Terracotta Warriors.

There are just too many.

Thousands of Terracotta Warriors, if ignored, will become annoyed flies.

"Sasuke, Naruto, you two go and bring the Shion here. I'll take care of the Terracotta Warriors."

Kanami gave a brief instruction.

Uchiha Sasuke nodded immediately, agreeing to Kanami's arrangement.

Naruto Uzumaki pursed his lips, but he didn't say anything, after all, he had just been saved by the other party.

Therefore, he immediately followed Sasuke's footsteps and hurried out of the temple.

However, at that moment, Kakashi appeared in the temple with Shion.

"Kakashi-sensei!"

Naruto Uzumaki shouted excitedly.

Are you two alright? What's the situation?

Kakashi looked at everyone with concern.

Just then, Shion also started walking forward on her own.

"Leave the rest to me."

"Give it to you? Are you sure?"

Kanami spoke calmly.

The Miko glanced back coldly. "Naturally, our duty Miko is to suppress evil spirits."

"Of course, you can leave it to me. Your mission was simply to escort me to the Country of Swamps. You have completed your task and can leave now."

"The reward will be delivered to Konoha Village in the Land of Fire by someone from the Land of Demons."

She started to walk forward as she spoke.

However, the next second, many Terracotta Warriors crawled out of the deep pit.

"Ah!!"

Shion felt a chill on her ankle and quickly stepped back, almost falling on her butt.

She looked down and saw that the Terracotta Warriors in front of her were still moving!

"Evil! Evil spirits! There are so many evil things here!"

Her face turned pale instantly.

Her abilities were only enough to deal with Moryo, but she never knew that there were so many other evil spirits that would hinder her.

But she wouldn't easily take back what she had already said.

She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

He then took out the bell from his body.

"Mom, please bless me..."

She murmured to herself as she walked toward the road outside the Terracotta Warriors pit.

Are you planning to die?

Kanami said calmly.

In his view, walking straight there like that would be suicide.

However, the Shion did not reply and simply walked into the Terracotta Warriors.

"Kakashi-sensei! Are we just going to watch her walk into these evil spirits?!"

Naruto Uzumaki shouted loudly in dissatisfaction.

Kakashi made a shushing gesture.

"We were just on an escort mission, and that's already done, although I really wanted to help her too."

"But since she said she doesn't need help, we can't just step in; otherwise, we'd be in breach of contract."

"This also reflects a distrust of the Miko of the Land of Demons, Land of Demons tradition dictates that Miko must personally seal away evil spirits."

Outsiders are not allowed to interfere or offer assistance.

"Damn it!" Naruto Uzumaki clenched his fists in anger.

I hope he's alright.

However, Kakashi's mouth seemed to be blessed; the moment he opened it, the Terracotta Warriors in the deep pits instantly jumped up!

There were over a hundred Terracotta Warriors, each wielding a variety of weapons, smashing them down fiercely towards Shion!

"Mom, please bless me... Mom, please bless me--"

"Help me!"

As the weapons drew closer, Shion's face turned deathly pale, and she lost all her previous composure.

She was actually the same age as Kanami and the others.

Her outward strength was merely a facade, a reflection of the character of past Miko, not her true self.

She had already decided to give up her true self for the sake of the Miko.

My true self is timid.

Suppress evil spirits?

She's the kind of person who can't even bear to watch a chicken being killed!

"Whoosh!"

Just as Shion finished speaking, a Silver Tornado instantly swept up all the surrounding Terracotta Warriors.

At the same time, her entire body was also completely enveloped by trees that were growing rapidly from the ground, providing her with excellent protection.

"Boom--"

Hundreds of Terracotta Warriors were instantly flung dozens of meters away!

It crashed violently against the temple wall, turning into a pile of porcelain clay.

The more severely it is pulverized, the slower the recovery process will be.

This Silver Tornado is Hinata Hyuga's technique.

The moment she heard the Shion's cry for help, her hands moved instinctively.

At the same time, Kanami also started to move.

He knew Hinata Hyuga would want to save someone, and since Hinata wanted to save someone, he would naturally help her.

Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall is the Wood Release Ninjutsu used by Kanami.

Thank you, Kanami.

Hinata Hyuga said somewhat shyly.

"I knew you'd want to save people, and that's precisely why I like you so much."

Kanami smiled.

From the very beginning, Hinata Hyuga was a very kind girl, as evidenced by her inability to harm her younger sister, Hanabi Hyuga.

The cruelty of Ninja is a necessity dictated by the environment of the Shinobi World, but no matter how cruel it is, Hinata will always be Hinata.

She can kill enemies with Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm, and she can also use Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion to protect those she wants to protect.

Cruelty and kindness are not actually contradictory.

"Click--"

As the Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall dissipated, Shion hurriedly ran back the way she came.

She grabbed Hinata Hyuga her arms.

In an instant, she trembled slightly all over, like a startled fawn.

"Thank you. I... I shouldn't have been so stubborn."

Her words immediately resonated with Hinata Hyuga.

She was always putting on a brave face, wasn't she?

"Kakashi-sensei, Hinata and Kanami chose to rescue her, you won't punish them, will you?"

"I can't believe it Naruto Uzumaki asked worriedly.

Upon hearing Uchiha Sasuke immediately glared at Kakashi with hostility.

Kakashi looked at these two "respectful" students and shook his head repeatedly.

I didn't see it.

"All I know is that our escort mission wasn't complete; our mission was to escort them to the temple of the Country of Swamps."

"And then?" Naruto Uzumaki asked, puzzled.

"Now, we've only reached the temple grounds, not yet the innermost part, so the guard duty continues."
