After they returned to Feng City, Miroku needed to deal with matters concerning Shion.
As for Huangquan, who was also one of Miroku's guards...
There was no need to trouble her with that.
"Lord Hokage, are you saying those Familiar Beasts we encountered earlier were all the work of Huangquan, the captain of the guards?!"
"Isn't he supposed to be one of Feng City's defenders?!"
Kakashi spoke in confusion.
He did have some information on Huangquan.
After all, Huangquan had written and sent the summons that had arrived in Konoha.
If he really wanted to cause trouble, why hadn't he simply refrained from issuing the summons in the first place?
That way, the shinobi world might only have learned about Moryo after he appeared.
Surely that would have made his plans easier to carry out!
"He has ambitions of his own."
"I don't know where he got his information, but he seems to believe that becoming Moryo's puppet will grant him eternal life."
"And that he can become a ruler of this world alongside Moryo."
"There's no need to discuss any of that now."
"Let's go kill him."
With that, Uchiha Kazama vanished using the Body Flicker Technique.
The other three vanished after him.
Before long, they arrived in Huangquan's courtyard.
The mechanism was far too obvious.
Once they pressed it, the entrance to an underground palace appeared before them.
All four entered without hesitation.
After passing through a long, cramped passage, they emerged into an enormous chamber.
The nine stone slabs around them also came into view.
"This is where the Nine Great Familiars were sealed before. The altar in the center should be Moryo's seal."
"Where is he?!"
After looking around, Konan spotted the stone slabs engraved with the Nine Great Familiars, as well as the sealing altar
