Land of Swamps, Moryo flesh Sealing Grounds.
Completely different from the gloomy and terrifying scene in Movie, with numerous terracotta warriors and horses, and soaring demonic energy, the Cave in front of you is deep, humid, but extremely "clean".
The air is filled with the smell of stale earth and a touch of water vapor, but there is no such heart-stopping Dark Chakra fluctuation.
Without soul guidance, Moryo's huge, twisted, pitch-black body that resembles a combination of countless tentacles and sarcoma is just quietly crawling in the deepest part of the cave, firmly imprisoned by layers of ancient and powerful Sealing Formula.
Those seals exude a faint Purple Eyes light and form a complex Barrier, which is exactly the handwriting left by the previous generation Miko Miroku.
The body itself is like a sleeping giant, lifeless, let alone a threat.
Naturally, there are no endless terracotta warriors driven by the soul of Moryo.
Only the sound of dripping water and the slight footsteps of the two people echoed in the cave.
Naruto walked in front, Byakugan easily penetrated all Chakra flow and sealing structures in the cave.
I have to say that Byakugan is really useful in some situations.
Shion followed closely behind him, with his hands folded in front of Miko's suit, with a nervous expression, a hint of curiosity, and more of a sense of relief.
She didn't expect that the body of the monster that was said to be capable of destroying the world would actually look so... harmless after losing its soul.
"The seal is still strong."
Naruto stopped, glanced around Barrier left by Miroku, and spoke in a calm tone.
"Your mother's Formula attainments are very high. Even after so many years, she can still effectively suppress the instinctive restlessness of this body."
He raised his hand, condensed the Chakra of Golden on his fingertips, and quickly sketched out several simple but exquisite Uzumaki Clan Sealing Runes in the air, which were integrated into the original Purple Eyes Barrier like the silk threads of Golden.
The light flashed slightly, and the reinforcement was completed.
For him, this level of seal reinforcement is just a piece of cake.
So he conveniently arranged some traps to strengthen the defense here.
"Let's go."
Naruto turned around, no emotion could be heard in his tone.
During this trip to Land of Swamps, I thought I would be able to come into contact with some special samples of negative energy aggregates or alien monsters, which might provide some inspiration for studying the nature of Chakra and even dealing with Otsutsuki.
However, the research value of this silent body in front of us is indeed limited. Its energy properties are complex and inert, and it is far less meaningful than Tailed Beast Chakra or Otsutsuki cells.
In contrast, this Land of Demons's Miko next to me...
Naruto's eyes swept over Shion without leaving any trace.
There is a unique and pure power flowing in the girl's body, which is similar to Chakra, and closer to some kind of special Kekkei Genkai based on blood inheritance.
This power seems to specialize in sealing, purification, prophecy, and may even involve the soul level.
And the most interesting thing is that, as far as he knows, the Land of Demons Miko lineage seems to have been daughters for generations and has never had a male descendant.
It's no wonder that Land of Demons's political structure is so special. The highest power is always held by Miko. This bloodline inheritance itself ensures a stable transfer of power.
The two walked out of the dim Cave one after another. The light from the outside was a bit dazzling.
Shion raised his hand to block the sun, looked at Naruto's tall and slightly distant back, bit his lower lip, finally mustered up the courage, walked a few steps quickly, reached out and gently grabbed the fabric of Naruto's cuffs.
"Lord Hokage," Shion's voice was cautious and sincere, "Iwaya Slope, Moryo's soul sealing place and body sealing place, I have already taken you there.
You... can you let Land of Demons go now?
I promise that Land of Demons will never be your enemy and will try its best to meet your other requirements..."
Naruto didn't stop, he just raised his right hand and used a moderate force to sweep away Shion's hand that was holding his sleeve.
The movements are crisp and there is no unnecessary contact.
"I will do what I promised."
His voice was calm and he continued to walk forward.
"You don't have to confirm again and again, and you don't have to worry about me breaking my promise."
He turned his head slightly and caught a glimpse of Shion's nervous little face from the corner of his eye.
"Because I am Naruto Uzumaki."
He said this very plainly, but it carried an unquestionable weight.
He doesn't need explanations and proofs because he is Naruto Uzumaki.
Shion Hearing this, his heart that had been hanging finally returned to its true state, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
However, after relaxing, another thing that had been entangled for a long time came to mind.
She was half a step behind Naruto, her hands twisted together unconsciously, her fingertips turning slightly white from exertion.
After a long battle between heaven and man in her heart, she finally blushed and spoke in a voice as thin as a gnat:
"That, that...Lord Hokage... about... about the...'service' thing that I mentioned before..."
Naruto paused for a moment, but did not look back.
Shion's cheeks were as red as a ripe apple. She lowered her head, barely daring to look at Naruto's back, and her voice became smaller and smaller. "I, I heard... the medical officer said that if a woman is too young and... gets pregnant, it will cause great damage to the body and may even be life-threatening... So, so... if you can..."
She took a deep breath, as if she had exhausted all her courage, closed her eyes and said quickly:
"Can... can... wait until two years later, before I... dedicate myself to you again?"
After saying the last word, Shion wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
She nervously grabbed a strand of her own Long Hair that was light Yellow Eyes with both hands, and wrapped it around her fingers unconsciously. Purple Eyes's eyes dodge, not daring to look at Naruto's reaction.
This was already the most euphemistic and "reasonable" excuse for delay that she could think of.
God knows how much courage it took for her to say these words. Her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
Naruto, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped after listening to Shion's intermittent and extremely shy request.
Slowly, with an incredible stiffness, he turned around.
"Huh?"
A short, absurd monosyllable squeezed out of his throat.
He stared at the Miko girl in front of him who was blushing so much that she wanted to shrink into a ball. He was completely shocked.
Why bring this up again?
Naruto felt as if the veins on his forehead were beating a little.
He admits that he has never shown any impatience, but why is Shion like this?
Isn't there a tsundere young lady in Movie?
Why are you acting like a slut now?
Naruto's recovery of Land of Demons is the only way to unify Shinobi World.
And he never mentioned the so-called service at all.
No, does he just look like the kind of impatient and lustful ghost?
Could it be that the other party has mistaken his and Jiraiya's hobbies?
