Moryo Comes Knocking

Obito, or rather, the Moryo, disappeared into the Kamui Space amidst a spatial vortex.

The place where the Moryo were sealed did not immediately leave, even though the Moryo, with their Obito bodies, remained.

The moment it seized Obito's body, Moryo gained everything Obito had.

Power, memory, knowledge, and soul.

The Moryo possesses a pool of souls within its body; Moryo will plunder everything from anyone it kills.

The harvested souls are thrown into the Soul Pool by the Moryo. Souls at the bottom of the Soul Pool are obliterated and then transformed into the Moryo's soul power.

The Moryo had high hopes for Obito and specially cut in line for Obito, giving Obito the VIP privilege of being the first to reach the bottom of the Soul Pool.

At this moment, the Moryo possesses all of Obito's memories, completely ignoring Rin, who occupies almost all of his time-related memories.

However, they are very interested in a particular moment of memory.

Several years ago, Ren unleashed a powerful attack that wiped out the Hidden Cloud Village's forces, but he himself was exhausted. After barely managing to withstand the attack of the Fourth Raikage A, he was already at his last gasp.

Obito a sneak attack from behind, crushing Ren's heart.

However, in the blink of an eye, Ren was revived and rewarded Obito with a 'Judgment Eye'.

Obito, a guy with no experience, thought it was plausible that Ren used Izanagi.

But the ancient demon Moryo immediately recognized that Ren was not human.

He instantly developed a strong interest in Ren's body, even though Moryo considered himself to be no less capable than anyone else in his life.

But in the end, he had to admit that the guy named Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki was more powerful than he had imagined.

Even though he had acquired everything from Obito, Moryo didn't believe he could defeat Hagoromo.

Especially since it recently took a solid hit from a Truth -Truth-Seeking Orb, preventing the Moryo from completing their mission and eroding the world's beautiful dream in one fell swoop.

The Moryo planned to devour Ren, a creature similar to itself, before making any further plans.

But before that, there are more important things to do.

"Awaken, my legion!"

Moryo a wave of his hand, the demon unleashed a visible purple power that spread across the sealed land.

Then the entire sealed area shook, and countless stones crumbled away, revealing stone statues similar to the Terracotta Army.

A moment later, the stone statue opened its eyes, and the Undead Army returned to its place!

Without a word, Moryo waved his hand and gave the order in his mind. The Undead Army then marched in unison toward the direction from which the Allied Shinobi Forces were attacking.

Stopping the Allied Shinobi Forces was not important to Moryo; it was merely announcing his return to the Shinobi World.

The truly important thing is what needs to be done next.

"Spatial abilities are so convenient!"

A sigh echoed in the place where the Moryo was sealed, but the Moryo had already vanished without a trace.

The Land of Demons, the Shrine Maiden Palace.

"Obito Uchiha, why aren't you dead?"

Seeing Shion with Obito again, he was somewhat surprised; her prophecy was never wrong.

The Moryo, clad in Obito skin, revealed a sinister smile.

"What do you think, my lady priestess!"

These flippant words made Shion frown slightly. Suddenly, Shion thought of a certain possibility and closed her eyes to begin sensing.

When Shion opened her eyes, they were filled with fear and despair.

"You... you are Moryo?!"

Looking at Shion, who was filled with panic and fear like a human little girl, Moryo shook his head and replied.

"No, my priestess, you and I, we are both Moryo."

Shion couldn't understand what the Moryo was saying, but the fear she felt when she first saw Moryo had slowly subsided. Shion tore off the necklace her mother had left her.

One hand gripped the necklace, facing the Moryo. The still-childish face was filled with determination, and the voice, still carrying a childish tone, spoke with unwavering resolve.

"Moryo, I will seal you away, I swear in the name of the priestess of the Land of Demons!"

Having never been in contact with the outside world and having been told of her mission since birth, Shion knows nothing and understands nothing.

She only knows one thing: the Moryo has been born, and she needs to seal Moryo.

It's all because she's a priestess from the Land of Demons.

Seeing the genuine expression on Shion's face, Moryo spoke up.

Did Miroku really not tell you anything?

After saying this, perhaps influenced by his bloodline, the Moryo laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.

Hahahaha~

That's great, a shrine maiden who knows nothing.

Today is destined to be the day I regain my wholeness!

After laughing, Moryo looked at Shion again, his tone full of joy.

"Seal? Do you know why the priestess could seal me? You don't know, you understand nothing, so why do you think you can seal me!"

The Moryo meant no harm to Shion.

The reason the priestess was able to seal the Moryo was not only because they originated from the same source, but more importantly, because the place where the Moryo were sealed was Teuchi the person known as the immortal.

Otherwise, given that they are from the same origin, why would it be the priestess sealing the Moryo, rather than the Moryo sealing the priestess?

It's all because the priestess hired outside help.

The Moryo approached Shion step by step, and when it got close enough, the necklace in Shion's hand emitted a dazzling light.

Miroku?

No, not only that!

All the priestesses of the past thousand years?

The Moryo smiled dismissively. "So what if there are many witches? They're all part of us."

No longer sealed, the Moryo have no fear of the witch.

Shion stared blankly at the necklace that was emitting a dazzling light, and then she saw figures emerging from the necklace. The last one, a familiar voice, made Shion involuntarily speak.

"Mother!"

Miroku's soul turned to look at Shion, and realizing that this was the Shrine Maiden Palace, Miroku said anxiously.

"Shion, run! Let the ninjas from the Five Great Shinobi Villages take you to the sealed land!"

Shaking her head, Shion said with a wronged and sorrowful expression.

"Mom, you can't leave."
