The Priestess and Moryo (Fifth Update)

Those who didn't appreciate the favor were subsequently subjected to various forms of torture and threats by Obito.

Obito looked at Shion, who was already on the verge of death, but still stubbornly refused to cooperate.

"Since it was you priestesses who sealed away the otherworldly demons, then I'll kill you, and perhaps the seal will break on its own!"

Obito had hardened his heart and was already holding a hard wooden strip formed by Wood Release.

"Even if it means death, I will never... I will never break the seal."

With her last breaths coming in but not out, Shion responded.

"Hiss!"

The sound of sharp weapons piercing flesh echoed in this place where Moryo were sealed.

Then a strange power rose up, Obito looked at the seal with anticipation.

After that, Obito witnessed a miracle—a miracle of being brought back to life!

A strange power surged, and the wounds on Shion's body, who had long been dead, began to heal rapidly in less than five minutes.

Shion opened her eyes again, completely unharmed.

Confused and bewildered, Shion looked around and exclaimed in surprise.

"I'm not dead? The seal is still intact! It's weakened?"

This made Obito 'Obito eyes light up, even though he had been somewhat disappointed.

Without the slightest hesitation.

"Hiss~"

The blood-stained wooden splinter pierced Shion's chest once again.

Obito waited quietly, but found no change; Shion was truly dead.

After venting his Obito left Shion's body behind.

It wasn't until the next day that Obito was informed by White Zetsu.

The dead priestess has come back to life!

More than a week later, Obito figured out the pattern: as long as he killed the priestess, the seal would loosen, but he could only revive once a day.

As for why Obito knew this so clearly, it was a conclusion he drew from countless times piercing Shion's chest.

Moreover, as time goes on, Shion's resurrection speed increases.

This gave Obito hope. After bringing Shion back to the Shrine Maiden Palace, all the guards and maids were replaced by Obito White Zetsu.

Obito, on the other hand, would end Shion's life at a fixed time every day, just like clocking in for work.

The relationship between the priestess and the Moryo is deeper than imagined.

Obito understood this, but then dismissed it as insignificant; what did it have to do with him?

Just like today, Obito arrived at Shion's place precisely on time and killed her.

After recording the time taken for his resurrection and the exact moment of resurrection, Obito left.

To be continued tomorrow!

The priestess and the Moryo are two sides of the same coin.

To use a somewhat inaccurate but similar analogy, it's like the relationship between the Ten-Tails and the God Tree, or Kaguya and the Ten-Tails.

A shrine maiden is Moryo, Moryo is a shrine maiden; they are like two sides of the same coin.

The priestesses of the Land of Demons have never had husbands; each priestess gives birth to a new priestess shortly before her death.

The priestess is not human, nor is Shion.

Obito was unable to kill Shion because she was one with Moryo.

Each time Shion dies, she needs to rely on the power of the Moryo to be resurrected.

As Shion dies more often, more power seeps out from the Moryo, making the seal weaker and weaker.

Obito was unaware of all of this.

But Obito needed to know was that killing Shion would allow Moryo to break the seal.

Tobi's target was exceptionally clear and specific: Moryo.

Obito was naturally aware of the information about the priestess, and also knew that she could accurately predict the deaths of others.

Obito, however, refused to believe that he would die at the hands of Moryo.

I will not die until I have created a world with Rin!

Of course, Obito's confidence did not come from such a ridiculous reason; the real reason was the Three-Tomoe Sharingan that had been newly installed in his left eye.

And a pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan always ready in his arms.

It must be said that Madara did leave some good things for Obito.

On a mountaintop in the Land of Demons, Obito sat cross-legged, gazing quietly at the bright moon in the sky.

A gentle breeze blows, and no one can know what is on his mind.
