The leader laughed and said, "You guys are really good at running! I didn't expect to catch you here! But it's alright, Lord Moryo will succeed soon."
Shinsei looked down at the densely packed terracotta warriors below the mountain. These slow-moving creatures posed virtually no threat to the ninjas.
Naruto, Sasuke, you stay here and hold off these monsters. I'll take the priestess inside to seal them away.
Upon hearing this, Naruto shouted indignantly, "I want to go in and kill those monsters too!"
Shinsei helplessly shrugged. "You need to know that kind of monster is unkillable. Do you understand the power of sealing?"
Naruto wore a long face; he truly didn't understand sealing techniques. Even with Jiraiya's guidance, the Sealing Jutsu still seemed like a foreign language to him.
Sasuke nodded, looking at the four people in front of him, plus the monster minions, and said, "Leave this to us."
Kakashi pulled up his Forehead Protector, revealing a bright red Sharingan, and said, "No problem, Shinsei. I don't need to worry about Chakra anymore. This is nothing."
Kakashi's fighting spirit is much stronger now than before. Since Shinsei injected him with the cell fluid, his biggest weakness has finally been overcome.
Previously, he could only use a maximum of four Lightning Blade per day; any more would affect his health.
Now he dares to conjure a Lightning Blade in each hand, one to attack enemies, and the other to throw around.
More importantly, although the Sharingan still cannot be shut down normally, it consumes far less Chakra than before.
Chakra now possesses ten times the chakra he once had, allowing him to fight without worrying about Chakra. This is why he's known as the Copy Ninja Kakashi; he can always unleash appropriate Ninjutsu against different enemies.
"Don't underestimate us! Konoha ninjas. I admit you are powerful! But Moryo has bestowed upon us new Chakra! Today, we will not let you ruin his plans."
Shinsei definitely sensed powerful Chakra emanating from the ninja opposite him.
However, to think that you can defeat Sasuke, who has the Mangekyō Sharingan, and Naruto, who possesses the Nine-Tails Chakra, with just these abilities is wishful thinking.
Darui, toothpick dangling from his mouth, shouted to the ninjas below, "Hey, do you know where Killer B Bee went?"
The woman opposite, with two blue camouflage patterns on her face, smiled and replied, "You mean that Eight-Tails Jinchuriki? I don't know, he must have been killed by Lord Yomi."
Darui's gaze sharpened. He spat out the toothpick from his mouth and drew his longsword from behind his back. "Then only by capturing you can we get the right answers, right?"
The woman, still unwilling to admit defeat, chuckled sinisterly, "Then come and try. I've killed countless brats like you."
Shinsei remembered the woman opposite him; she possessed a strange Water Release Ninjutsu. In the past, Shinsei might have paid more attention to her.
However, at this point, even the most powerful Water Release Ninjutsu is no longer of any use to Shinsei.
Although he started out with his mastery of Water Release Ninjutsu, Shinsei rarely uses Water Release Ninjutsu in combat now.
The reason is nothing more than that the upper limit of Water Release Ninjutsu is limited, and it can no longer keep up with the development of Shinsei abilities.
Shinsei crouched down, and Shion went over and lay on his back.
" Naruto, I'm leaving the rest to you. Don't let these things get in and disrupt our sealing ritual."
Naruto clenched his fist and said seriously, "I will absolutely not let a single monster in. I mean what I say, that's my ninja way!"
Shinsei nodded, carried Shion on his back, and leaped off the cliff. The others followed suit, jumping off the cliff and starting a fight with the surrounding terracotta warriors.
Sakura swung her fists, and with tremendous force, she smashed each of the towering terracotta warriors to pieces.
As medical-nin, she also possesses considerable combat strength, though she rarely has the opportunity to use it. Now, she has a rare chance to showcase the results of her training.
Tsunade had four disciples in total. Shinsei was too overpowered to mention.
Sasuke is the person I love, so there's no need to compare him to me. But I can't let Hinata outshine me; I absolutely cannot become the weakest of my teacher's disciples.
Shinsei weaved through the numerous terracotta warriors. At his speed, these terracotta warriors were like snails, Fudo. He didn't want to linger there, but instead, like a butterfly, he quickly slipped among them.
A tunnel entrance appeared before them, showing obvious signs of artificial excavation, and the passage inside appeared very square.
Shion landed on Shinsei's back. "Thank you for bringing me here. I'll go in alone now and seal the monster away."
Shinsei laughed and replied, "What an idiot! I've already brought you all this way, how could I possibly let a girl like you go in alone?"
Shion blushed and stopped talking.
The two walked side by side, heading deeper into the tunnel. As they went deeper, the light gradually dimmed. Fortunately, a bright red light emanated from within, resembling some kind of Kakkō.
Emerging from the tunnel, one finds a vast hall, its ceiling almost invisible.
The molten lava was churning on the ground, and the red light we just saw was coming from the lava.
Fortunately, the roads formed by the dense stones, like a spider web, provide places for people to put their feet.
Looking ahead, Shion said to Shinsei, "In my prophecy, Naruto will die here."
"So the prophecy was wrong. Look, Naruto didn't even come in, but now it's my turn. Do you think I'll die here?"
Shion looked somewhat panicked. She grabbed Shinsei's hand, looked into his eyes earnestly, and said, "I don't want you to die here!"
Shinsei patted the back of her hand and said reassuringly, "Don't worry, the one who can kill me hasn't been born yet."
This may sound grand, but it is indeed true.
Although Madara Uchiha now possesses the Rinnegan, he has also mastered the Flying Thunder God Shinsei, so if he wants to escape, Madara Uchiha cannot stop him.
Unless, like Danzo before him, a special sealing barrier is used to trap Shinsei inside and kill him. However, with Shinsei learning Shisui Uchiha's Body Flicker Technique, the chances of this happening have been greatly reduced.
Strictly speaking, only the Sage of Six Paths, whose power is unfathomable, could completely kill Shinsei.
However, the current Sage of Six Paths is indeed in a soul state, so it's accurate to say that someone capable of killing Shinsei hasn't been born yet.
"He looks just like Miroku!"
