"Master?"
Void tilted his nonexistent head, a hint of confusion showing in his chaotic outline. "Where? How come I don't see anyone?"
Hyuga Seigo raised a hand and pointed toward the priestess's shrine in the Land of Demons. A faint light flickered deep within his Jōgan. "In that shrine over there, a priestess in yellow is bowing to the starry sky. Their priestess lineage might really have a connection to Moryo. When I sealed Moryo and took it into the Small World just now, she must have sensed it."
Nirvana looked in the direction he pointed. Though the bloody hue had faded from his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, he could still see the pure spiritual power surging within the shrine. He said calmly,
"It's probably Shion. The priestesses of the Land of Demons have always had the ability to foresee disasters. She likely predicted long ago that Moryo would cause trouble here. She just didn't expect us to intervene."
"Who cares?"
Void waved his insubstantial hand.
"The job's done. Let's get out of here. If any ninja catch wind of this and show up, they might yak at us forever—even if we can slap them dead, that doesn't make them any less annoying."
"What's the rush?"
Qingwu instead found a clean rock and sat down. "We just finished a fight. We should at least catch our breath."
He flicked a fingertip.
A stream of light formed from innate spiritual energy drifted toward Nirvana. "Replenish your energy a little. We've got other things to do when we get back."
Void was busy digesting Moryo's power. At those words, he muttered indistinctly, "What else could be more important than dealing with Moryo?"
"Once we've dealt with the big one, we have to mop up the little ones."
Qingwu gazed at the pale light
