The next day.
Hidden Leaf Village, Hokage Building.
Completely different from the tense situation on the front lines where wars are raging and filled with gunpowder smoke. At this moment, Konoha is bathed in the peaceful afternoon sunshine.
Although all the main troops were deployed, with Uchiha Yao in charge, the entire village was still running in an orderly manner, and was even more prosperous than before.
The villagers were eagerly discussing the good news from the front line.
Annexing various small countries, defeating Allied Forces, capturing Raikage Tsuchikage...
These great achievements, one after another, are worthy of being recorded in the annals of history, making every Konoha citizen's face filled with unprecedented pride.
Hokage's Office.
Uchiha Yao is leaning on the wide chair. Behind him, the former Queen of Roran Sara is gently massaging Uchiha Yao's shoulders.
"Hokage-sama."
A ANBU Body Flicker Technique appeared in front of the desk, kneeling on one knee.
"Miko and Shion of Land of Demons are asking for a meeting."
"It is said that it has brought important information concerning the survival of Shinobi World."
"Land of Demons?"
Uchiha Yao paused slightly and thought for a moment.
"Let her in."
"Yes."
ANBU is ordered to retreat.
After a while.
The office door was pushed open.
Led by two ANBU, a girl slowly walked in.
Shion has a delicate face and fair skin, but at this moment, her lavender eyes are full of anxiety and uneasiness.
After walking into the office, Shion saw Uchiha Yao at a glance, and Sara behind Uchiha Yao.
Uchiha Yao did not exude any scary aura, but gave Shion the feeling of an ordinary big brother next door.
Sara feels very gentle.
This slightly relaxed Shion's tense nerves.
"You... are Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Yao?"
Shion suppressed the tension in his heart, took a deep breath, and tried to keep his voice steady.
"Sit."
Uchiha Yao pointed to the chair opposite.
Shion bit his lip and sat down as instructed.
"Say it."
Uchiha Yao looked at her.
"Miko of Land of Demons, if you don't stay well in Shrine, why did you come to my Konoha?"
"If you are seeking asylum, then you should know the rules of Konoha."
"I... I'm here to ask Konoha to send troops!"
Shion raised his head suddenly, his eyes becoming eager.
"Moryo...Moryo's soul has been released!!"
"Moryo?"
Uchiha Yao raised his eyebrows slightly.
When Shion saw this, he thought that Uchiha Yao was not aware of the seriousness of the situation, so he quickly explained:
"Moryo is a monster from another world, with an immortal soul and dark power that can swallow everything!"
"Just a few days ago, a group of ninjas attacked Sealing Shrine of Land of Demons and broke the seal of Moryo's soul!"
Having said this, Shion's body couldn't stop shaking.
"Now, they are heading to Volcano Shrine of Land of Swamps!"
"The physical body of Moryo is sealed there!"
"Once they let Moryo's soul and body merge into one, Moryo will be completely resurrected!"
"When the time comes, it will summon endless 'Phantom Army' and turn the entire Shinobi World into a paradise of death!"
Shion became more and more excited as she spoke, clutching the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands.
"Now Shinobi World, only Konoha... only you can stop this catastrophe!"
After listening to Shion's narration, a glimmer of understanding flashed in Uchiha Yao's eyes.
Just...
According to the timeline of the original work, this incident should have happened several years later.
Why is it so early?
After thinking for a moment, he understood the reason.
butterfly effect.
His strong rise not only changed the pattern of Konoha, but also launched a war that swept Shinobi World.
The attention of all major ninja villages was attracted by Konoha, and the main force was restrained on the front line.
This gives the rats hiding in dark corners an opportunity to take advantage of.
The guy named Yomi probably thinks that Shinobi World is in chaos now and Five Great Nations has no time to take care of himself. This is the best time for him to resurrect Moryo and dominate the world.
"Huh..."
After thinking about all this, Uchiha Yao couldn't help but let out a chuckle.
"It's interesting."
I originally thought it was just a boring farce.
Unexpectedly, it was because of myself that this group of clowns appeared early.
Seeing that Uchiha Yao was still smiling, Shion suddenly became anxious.
"Hokage-sama! Please pay attention to it!"
"The power of Moryo is very terrifying! Its Phantom Army is immortal, and ordinary ninjutsu cannot cause harm to them at all!"
"Once it is fully revived, even if Five Great Nations joins forces, I'm afraid..."
"Five Great Nations?"
Uchiha Yao interrupted her with a look of contempt.
"Don't compare that trash to me."
"The so-called Moryo is just a magical beast from another world."
"At best, it's just an uglier Tailed Beast."
Uchiha Yao leaned on the back of the chair with an indifferent expression.
He didn't pay any attention to the monster that Shion said could destroy the world.
In front of him now, Tailed Beast is just a pet that can be easily crushed to death.
And that so-called Phantom Army is vulnerable in front of him.
But...
A glimmer of light flashed in Uchiha Yao's eyes.
Although Moryo itself is a waste.
But the different world it is in is somewhat valuable.
If I remember correctly, the power of Moryo and Miko seems to originate from that special alien space.
For Uchiha Yao who has Rinnegan and [Six Paths·Tianyu] space.
Exploring the unknown alien space may bring new inspiration to his Dōjutsu.
Even...
You can swallow that alien space directly and use it to expand your own [Heavenly Control] space.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Yao finally got a little interested.
"I can help you."
Uchiha Yao looked at Shion and said.
"Really?"
Shion Hearing this, a look of ecstasy suddenly appeared on his face.
"But."
Uchiha Yao changed the topic and his eyes became sharp.
"Konoha is not a charity."
"I'm not a savior either."
"If you want to get Konoha's protection, you want me to take action..."
"What price can you pay?"
Shion lowered his head after hearing this.
There is no charity for no reason.
What price can you pay for yourself?
Shion gritted his teeth, as if he had made some determination.
Slowly stood up from the chair, and then bowed deeply to Uchiha Yao.
"As long as you can eliminate Moryo and save Land of Demons..."
"Land of Demons, willing to surrender to Konoha!"
"I, Shion, swear in the name of Land of Demons Miko!"
After saying this, Shion seemed to have exhausted all his strength.
As the spiritual leader of a country, Miko, saying such words is tantamount to completely handing over the dignity of the country.
But she had no choice.
Rather than destroying the country, surrendering to the strong can at least keep the people alive.
"Submit..."
Uchiha Yao smiled slightly.
He actually doesn't have much interest in a small country like Land of Demons.
However, since it has been delivered to your door, let's accept it reluctantly.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.
"Deal."
