She straightened up, turned around and looked at Uchiha Jun, with the gentle smile still on her face, but her eyes became a little deeper.
"... Yes, sir, I did see it."
"Oh?" Uchiha Jun became interested, "What did you see? Looking at you like this, it's probably good."
Miroku did not answer immediately, but walked to the stone platform, picked up the ancient scroll, and handed it to Uchiha Jun's hands.
"I saw - you transformed into an eight-headed Eight-Tails giant snake, led three hundred warriors, trampled Moryo's thousands of troops, and finally bombed Moryo, dragging it out of the cracks in the sealed land."
Uchiha Jun paused as he took the scroll, and then he smiled.
There was a bit of surprise, a bit of satisfaction, and a bit of... imperceptible surprise in that smile.
"The prediction is accurate."
Uchiha Jun unfolded the scroll and quickly scanned the dense ancient text Land of Demons on it. "Then just wait and see. When I finish looking through these materials, I will go and bring Moryo back."
Miroku nodded with a smile.
She turned around and sat down by the bed, looking at Shion who was sleeping soundly.
"Also."
"Any orders, sir?"
Since in the prophecy, Uchiha Jun can suppress Moryo in one fell swoop, he is naturally the savior of their mother and daughter.
Miroku's attitude became more and more respectful.
"I... can't read, no, I don't know your writing."
"Hug--I'm sorry, sir! I'll translate for you right now!"
An hour later, Uchiha Jun put down the heavy ancient book.
His understanding of Moryo has reached an unprecedented depth.
It turns out that Moryo is not a native creature of this world.
It comes from a dark space on the other side of the rift in another dimension - a chaotic world intertwined with pure negative emotions.
I don't know if it's true or not, but that's what it says in ancient books.
In Warring States Era, with the wars in Shinobi World for years, the resentment of the dead, the fear of the living, the unwillingness of the defeated... these strong negative emotions continued to accumulate and ferment, and finally at a specific time point, a crack opened in the different space.
Moryo--this otherworldly monster that feeds on negative emotions--came into this world along this crack.
Initially, it was not very powerful.
Land of Demons's First witch can even use the power of Moryo to defend her homeland. The power of her Sealing Jutsu and Moryo complement each other, making Land of Demons an unbreakable fortress in troubled times.
But as Shinobi World's negative emotions continued to accumulate, Moryo became larger and larger, more and more violent, and eventually began to bite back the spirit of the witch.
In the end, the witches of all generations had to turn their Life Force into the price of the seal in exchange for Moryo's sleep.
And to the Miroku generation.
It is even more necessary for Miroku to use his life to fight Moryo, and to separate and seal Moryo's body and spirit in order to survive until Shion grows up.
"That is to say - as long as Shinobi World's negative emotions continue to grow, Moryo cannot be completely eliminated, and can only be sealed at most!"
"Yes, this monster..."
After hearing Uchiha Jun's words, Miroku lowered his eyes in despair.
Obviously, there is nothing more despairing than an immortal enemy.
"This is a good thing."
"Ah? Wha... what?"
"I said this is a good thing."
Uchiha Jun closed the scroll and a bright light flashed in his eyes.
"Such an 'endless energy' needs to be put to good use. Do you believe that in my hands, this Moryo can become a 'sacred object' that can provide enough food and clothing for countless people?"
Miroku's eyelids jumped when he heard this, but he did not open his mouth to refute.
She has lived for most of her life and has seen countless strong men who came to "hunt Moryo", but she dared to say such nonsense as "turning Moryo into a 'holy object'".
Uchiha Jun is the first.
However, Uchiha Jun is also the first being that can suppress Moryo in its heyday.
Since Uchiha Jun said so, she naturally obeyed Uchiha Jun.
"Okay, I've finished reading the information."
Uchiha Jun stood up and handed the ancient scroll back to Miroku: "Okay, I'll leave now."
Miroku took the scroll and said, "Master Chun, I have prepared a farewell banquet. You can use it before attacking Moryo, right?"
'Let me send you off, this buff is great.'
"No need."
Uchiha Jun waved his hand and walked towards the secret room.
When he walked to the door, Uchiha Jun paused and took a look. There was a sumptuous meal and a banquet table that was four to five meters long.
His eyes fell on an unopened wine bottle placed on the main table.
"Da!"
Uchiha Jun raised Teuchi and snapped his fingers - a ball of flame as big as a bean instantly rose up from his fingertips and landed accurately on the outer wall of the pot of wine.
The heat of the chakra is transmitted through the wall of the ceramic pot, and the wine quickly emits a warm and mellow aroma.
"Gudu Gudu——"
After a while, the wine was boiled.
"When I came back to drink it, it was still warm."
After saying that, Uchiha Jun's figure turned into an afterimage and disappeared into the morning mist.
Miroku stood there, looking at the still steaming pot of wine, and was silent for a long time.
Then she shook her head, but couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.
"What a... strange person."
Land of Demons north, thirty miles.
The sealing place of Moryo during the time of the witch Miroku is located in a huge rift valley that has been eroded by weathering for thousands of years - there are towering rock walls on both sides of the rift valley.
The bottom is a flat sandy land, covering an area as large as several football fields.
At this moment, tens of thousands of the Terracotta Army stand densely on this sandy land.
No, it's not Terracotta Army - it's the stone golem.
They range in height from three to five meters, and their bodies are made of dark brown rocks in the rift valley. Their joints are covered with a layer of flowing Dark Chakra, like a layer of living lubricant.
Each stone puppet's forehead is engraved with a rune that glows dark red.
In the center of this stone sea, there is a bottomless crack, about two feet wide, running across the entire bottom of the rift valley.
Thick Dark Chakra kept pouring out of the cracks, rolling and gushing like boiling ink.
That is the sealed exit of Moryo.
Uchiha Jun stood on the cliff at the edge of the rift valley, the morning wind blowing at the hem of his clothes.
His eyes scanned the dark sea of rocks below, and there were no waves.
"It's just a stone puppet. This Moryo is a bit of a steal, but this order of magnitude is enough. It can more or less test Back-Pounding Army's ability to clean up miscellaneous soldiers."
Uchiha Jun placed the scroll with three hundred Back-Pounding Army sealed flat on the ground, holding Hand Seals in both hands.
"Seal and untie!"
Bang--!
The scroll exploded into a huge cloud of white mist.
The white mist dissipated, and three hundred figures stood neatly on the edge of the rift valley, lined up like a row of silent tombstones.
The appearance of these bodies is no different from ordinary humans, but there are no pupils in their eyes, only an empty gray-white color.
Uchiha Jun stood up and Hand Seals his hands again.
--Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu.
"Bang bang bang!"
No more, no less, three hundred Shadow Clone appeared.
This order of magnitude, if Uchiha Jun hadn't superimposed the chakra of itself, Orochimaru, and Dan Katō, it might not be possible to use it.
Immediately after, Uchiha Jun's Shadow Clone and then Hand Seals.
"Spirit Transformation Technique·Multiple Soul Projection!"
The next moment, Shadow Clone's souls began to leave the body one after another, divided into three hundred, and turned into three hundred invisible soul threads, accurately entering each body.
Three hundred bodies opened their eyes at the same moment.
The originally gray-white pupils were instantly replaced by a touch of dark purple - that was the luster of the New Mysterious Peacock Method-strengthened star chakra condensed at the bottom of the pupils.
"Sure enough! Haha, it seems that the real usage of Spirit Transformation Technique is to release it with Shadow Clone!"
Seeing that his plan was working, Uchiha Jun smiled.
As early as when [Dan Katō] was drawn to master Spirit Transformation Technique, Uchiha Jun had this plan.
After all, Shadow Clone can work independently in a single thread, which is completely like a state where the soul is divided into two. Although Uchiha Jun knows that Shadow Clone does not really divide the soul into two.
But I also noticed Shadow Clone's 'autonomous consciousness'.
After noticing this, Uchiha Jun started research on how to combine Spirit Transformation Technique with Shadow Clone.
The final result also proved that Shadow Clone could indeed use Spirit Transformation Technique, but what was separated was only a mass of consciousness rather than a soul.
In other words, if Shadow Clone is allowed to use Spirit Transformation Technique to attack a normal ninja, even if Uchiha Jun is used to attack, the attack will become vulnerable.
After all, a group of consciousness cannot be as "weighty" as a "soul".
However, if Shadow Clone is allowed to enter the body of the Back-Pounding Army without a soul.
Not only can it make up for Shadow Clone's weakness of disintegrating when attacked, but you can also experience the underworld fighting style and operate the puppet with your hands!
The fake puppet master controls the machine puppet and fights with people at close range. Not only must he guard against the opponent's body, but he must also ensure that the puppet line is always connected. At the same time, the puppet master must have skilled skills.
The real puppet master, the infinite nesting doll, can you respond to my Shadow Clone set of Spirit Transformation Technique, brother?
Real body feeling, until death!
"It seems that the titles of Sasori of the Red Sands and Chiyo Puppet Master are going to change hands and be given to me, hahahaha!"
"Formation·Wedge Breakthrough."
Uchiha Jun issues combat instructions through the remote control switch arranged in advance in the body.
Three hundred thumping back bodies began to arrange themselves automatically like a sophisticated machine - the front row were heavy-duty bodies specializing in Earth Release and Taijutsu, the middle row were remote output bodies Fire Release and Wind Release, and the back row were reserve bodies.
The moment the formation was spread out, the group of stone puppets below started to stir.
They felt a strange chakra wave coming from the top of the cliff - it was the "Dark Chakra" wave that had the same origin as them but was completely different.
Moryo's spiritual imprint flashed rapidly several times on those runes.
Immediately, a low roar, as if coming from the core of the earth, boomed out from the crack--
"Roar------!!"
The stone golems rioted.
Tens of thousands of stone puppets raised their heads at the same time, and two groups of blood-red light gushed out from their pupil-less eye sockets.
They took heavy steps and began to charge towards the cliff, in the direction where Uchiha Jun was.
The ground trembled violently under their trampling, and gravel rolled down the cliff.
Uchiha Jun stood on the top of the cliff, looking at the overwhelming sea of rocks coming in like a tide, calm and composed.
--Yamata no Orochi!
Boom--!
A huge cloud of smoke appeared at the location of Uchiha Jun.
In the smoke, eight ferocious snake heads burst out of the fog at the same time!
Each snake head is as big as a house, its scales are as black as iron, reflecting a cold luster in the morning light, and its golden snake eyes look down from high above the ground!
Under the eight snake necks, there is a body like a small mountain. Its thick tail is coiled around the ridge on the outer edge of the rift valley. With just a flick of the tail, it cuts off two protruding rock peaks!
Obviously, after having the template of [Orochimaru], Uchiha Jun also made some improvements to the access control technique of Yamata no Orochi.
Used to increase the attack capability of Yamata no Orochi and its output capability as a turret.
Uchiha Jun looked down at the torrent of stone puppets at his feet that had rushed halfway up the mountain, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.
"This is Yamata no Orochi, which is a fusion of Dark Chakra. Its defensive capabilities are much stronger than before. I will go back and study with Orochimaru to get a golden chakra, and then upgrade it to [Black Gold Yamata no Orochi]."
"Roar--!!"
While thinking in his mind, Uchiha Jun, who transformed into Yamata no Orochi, also launched a charge towards the location of Moryo!
The eight heads of Yamata no Orochi roared at the same time, and the sound waves they stimulated turned into substantial shock waves, directly shaking the dozen stone puppets rushing in front into rubble!
The next second, Yamata no Orochi started going down the mountain.
Not walking, not running - just crushing!
The first head from the left opened its bloody mouth, and a purple-black thunderball with a diameter of three meters condensed and formed in its throat, and then blasted out like a cannonball!
--Boom
With a loud noise, a gap of more than ten meters in diameter was blown out in the center of the stone sea, and the broken stones flew tens of meters into the air!
In an instant, hundreds of stone puppets were destroyed in one blow!
Immediately afterwards, the second and third heads were lowered at the same time, sweeping across like sickles from the left and right sides.
--The huge scales were easily embedded into the hard rock. With a slight movement, several stone puppets broke apart and turned into piles of rubble and rolled to the ground!
The remaining five heads were not idle either, spraying out burning snake breath alternately.
--This is a breath developed by Orochimaru, and finally mixed by Uchiha Jun using Dark Chakra and Fire Release.
The temperature is so high that it can melt the rock surface the moment it comes into contact with the stone golem!
The molten lava seeps into the core runes inside along the cracks, destroying the entire puppet's ability to move in one blow.
At the same time, three hundred bodies began to advance together.
--Earth Release·Seismic core!
--Earth Release·Open the soil and dig!
For a moment, the ground in front of the stone sea suddenly overlapped and bulged. Immediately, the overwhelming stone puppets stopped their momentum in an instant!
The body in the middle row took the opportunity to Hand Seals, and performed various compound ninjutsu together.
--Fire Release·Great Fire Annihilation!
--Wind Release·Press!
The fire took advantage of the wind, and in an instant, a fan-shaped sea of fire nearly hundreds of meters wide ignited the stone puppets behind the earth wall.
--The puppets shrouded in the sea of fire struggled in the high temperature for more than ten seconds before the runes could not withstand the overload of energy input and exploded.
In just one face-to-face meeting, nearly a quarter of the originally dense army of stone puppets had been cut away!
At the bottom of the rift valley, gravel is everywhere.
Uchiha Jun glanced across the battlefield calmly.
I'm not in a hurry to crush it deeply - it's not that I can't, but that it's not necessary.
Because Moryo's true body has suddenly come to kill him at this moment!
"The amount of chakra is pretty good. It's almost at the level of Two-Tails. It's a bit awkward to use for fighting, but it's just right for use as a power source!"
At the same time that Uchiha Jun said these words, the Dark Chakra that poured out of the crack across the bottom of the rift valley suddenly intensified dozens of times!
"Boom--!!"
Thick black chakra spurted out like a fountain, condensing into a huge black sphere in mid-air.
The surface of the sphere is constantly squirming, as if something is taking shape inside.
After a moment, the black sphere cracked open, revealing a figure - it was a monster no smaller than Yamata no Orochi, and also had eight snake-shaped heads!
"... You are not a witch and you are not here to seal me. What do you want to do?"
To Uchiha Jun's surprise, Moryo spoke, with a low, hoarse voice, accompanied by an echo similar to electronic music.
After listening to a few words, Uchiha Jun feels like it can instantly cast Kirin.
Uchiha Jun raised his eyebrows slightly, but it was clear when he thought that Moryo's soul and body had not been separated now.
"Oh, I'm surprised by your skeleton. I'm going to introduce you to a job."
"Work?"
"... What do you think I am? A prey that can be hunted?!"
"Prey?"
Uchiha Jun, looking at the surging black fog in front of him, an extremely dangerous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "No - you are not qualified, brother!"
The moment the voice fell, Yamata no Orochi's eight snake heads opened their bloody mouths at the same time!
Silver-white lightning condenses and expands in every snake mouth--
Snake Lightning Cannon!
The next second--
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!"
Eight silver-white lightning pillars suddenly fell down like heavenly punishment, all hitting the huge dark body of Moryo!
Dark Chakra was penetrated, exploded and evaporated!
Moryo let out a deafening roar, and its body began to tremble and shrink violently under the bombardment of Snake Lightning Cannon--
But Uchiha Jun's attack is not over yet!
'Two teams, rub it for me!'
'Hahaha, this time I also experienced the rubbing method of Uzumaki Naruto, the same model as Rasengan!'
The next moment.
Yamata no Orochi's eight snake heads actually started to form groups of two, imitating some extremely weird movements--
A snake head opens its mouth and condenses a ball of lightning;
Another snake head opened its mouth and condensed another ball of lightning;
Then--
The two snake heads rotate at the same time! Collide! Fusion!
"Kakakakakaka--"
A huge Snake Lightning Cannon with a diameter of more than fifteen meters and a volume comparable to Tailed Beast Ball suddenly took shape under the joint rubbing of the eight snake heads of Yamata no Orochi!
And there are four in a row!
Fuck four
"Eat me Gawa collision!"
Boom!!!
The huge Snake Lightning Cannon fell like a meteor, directly penetrating the dark body of Moryo, and exploded a small mushroom cloud in the center of the sealed land!
The ground was shaking, the air was screaming, and the entire Land of Demons sealing barrier was crumbling under this blow!
In the darkness, the huge dark body of Moryo is shrinking and collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye--
"Wait! Stop! Stop!!"
For the first time, panic appeared in Moryo's voice.
Those Dark Chakra that once made it proud and immortal, like gangrene attached to the bones.
At this moment, facing the indiscriminate bombardment of Uchiha Jun, it is like pieces of meat being thrown into a meat grinder, being peeled off, torn, and evaporated layer by layer by Snake Lightning Cannon!
It has lived for hundreds of years and has never seen such a fight!
Damn it!
Is this the Tailed Beasts that those ninjas are talking about!?
Yes!
Such terrifying chakra must be the legendary Tailed Beasts!!
"Come again!"
Uchiha Jun ignored Moryo's begging for mercy, and Yamata no Orochi's eight snake heads opened their huge mouths again--
Then...
Another salvo of four Snake Lightning Cannon!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!
Round after round, without any pause, it seems like it will never end!
Moryo went from anger at the beginning, to shock, to fear - in the end, it didn't even have the strength to dodge, and could only let those lightning cannonballs explode, explode, and explode again on its body!
Half an hour later.
In the center of the sealed land, the mass of Dark Chakra that once covered the sky and the sun is now only a small, palm-sized mass, shivering on the ground like a drowned dog soaked by heavy rain.
Uchiha Jun jumped down from Yamata no Orochi's head, scattered Summoning Jutsu, and landed in front of the small group of Dark Chakra--Moryo.
"Are you convinced?"
"... I'm convinced, I'm convinced! I'm really convinced! Don't explode again, otherwise you will really die!!"
Moryo's voice was filled with tears, "What on earth do you want! Why don't you surrender if I surrender!"
"Wouldn't it be better if it was like this earlier?"
Uchiha Jun took out a prepared sealing jar from the ninja tool bag - the jar was forged from fine steel, with densely engraved Sealing Jutsu patterns on the surface, and was specially designed to seal a special energy body like Moryo.
It is worth noting that Uchiha Jun dyed the sealed jar white at the bottom and red at the top in a wicked way, with a weird raised ball shape in the middle.
Uchiha Jun squatted down and pointed the sealing jar at the small trembling Moryo-- on the ground.
"Come in by yourself, or should I help you?"
"I'm going in by myself! I'm going in by myself!"
Moryo rolled and crawled into the sealed jar, curled up in the corner, as quiet as a newly collected stray cat, and was obediently surrounded by Sealing Jutsu, three layers inside and three outside.
Uchiha Jun Put the lid on and pat the tank.
"I have conquered Pokemon!"
"..."
Moryo trembled in the jar and dared not say anything.
Outside the sealed land, the support troops of the four major ninja villages are gathering in the side hall of Land of Demons Priestess Shrine.
Kitsuchi leaned against the wall with his arms folded, his face so dark that he could squeeze out water.
The level of chakra fluctuation just now - the kind of terrifying aura that makes people's souls tremble - can be clearly felt even if he is several kilometers away.
He had experienced that feeling with his father, Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki...
