Land of Demons.
In a desolate area filled with rocks.
There stood a massive underground palace.
Beneath this underground palace was sealed a demon known as Mōryō.
Yet despite the importance of this seal, there were not many soldiers guarding it—only four at the entrance.
This was because the Land of Demons had conducted experiments, and ordinary people simply could not enter the underground palace.
After the previous Miko died unexpectedly, the conditions for entering the underground palace had not been passed on.
On a nearby mountaintop, Yomi stared excitedly at the underground palace below.
"This is it. Mōryō is sealed beneath here."
"There are also many Stone Golems beneath this underground palace, right?"
Obito asked casually.
Yomi gave a hum. "When Mōryō was sealed back then, many Stone Golems were sealed underground along with him."
"When the Earth Energy erupts this time, the seal here will weaken. Then, we can enter the underground palace."
"Not only can we unseal Mōryō, we can also unseal the Stone Golems below."
"We really have your White Zetsu to thank. Otherwise, we never would have found so many stored Stone Golems."
When Mōryō had revived in the past, he had created a great number of Stone Golems. But because so much time had passed, they had all been buried across the world.
Only White Zetsu, with the Mayfly Technique, could find some of them.

His soul had to be released from the underground palace and placed in Yomi's body before it could be brought out.
Yomi probably wanted to completely revive Mōryō, so he still needed
