The Miko of the Land of Demons and the demon Moryo were actually one and the same.
This revelation shook Oto Uchiha considerably, but Zou Hyuga's expression barely changed. He simply nodded, then left the shrine.
He had accepted the miko's request not out of concern for the people of the Land of Demons, but largely for his own sake. He had a vague feeling that absorbing Moryo's chakra would benefit him enormously.
After his battle with Toneri, he had gained a clear understanding of his strength, but that also made him all the more eager to improve.
