Moryo

Yomi looked up at the sky and said, "The celestial phenomena have changed. Let me use this specially developed Dark Medical Jutsu to awaken Lord Moryo and unify the world." Kusuna and Shūri knelt before Yomi and said, "Congratulations, Lord, on your imminent unification of the world."

Yomi laughed loudly, looking up at the sky. "Hahaha..."

At this moment, Fudō appeared before Yomi and said, "Since your plan is about to begin, I will inform Lord Kazuma to cooperate with your plan and hold back the people from the Five Great Ninja Villages."

Fudō turning around, a sneer flashed in his eyes as he thought to himself, "We have no plan to help you hold off the Five Great Ninja Villages. Once you awaken the Moryo, we'll seize the opportunity to kill you, take the Moryo from you, and frame you for it. It's all part of Lord Kazuma's plan."

"Halt." Yomi suddenly said. Fudō, who was about to leave, was startled by the words. Had his plan been discovered? However, Fudō, turned around, looked at Yomi, and said, "Is there anything else, Lord Yomi?"

Yomi said, "Would you like to stay by my side? I can grant you even greater power."

Fudō was uninterested. He believed that once he obtained the Moryo, all power would be his, and he could even contend with Kazuma. Thinking of this, Fudō felt a surge of excitement. However, he didn't show it outwardly, and said in a deep voice, "Lord Yomi Quan, I will not betray Lord Kazuma."

Yomi smiled slightly and said, "It's alright, take your time to think it over, and give me an answer later."

Fudō, he respectfully said, "Okay," and then turned and left.

After watching them leave Fudō, Kusuna said, "Lord Yomi, their sudden arrival at the Alliance suggests some kind of conspiracy. They are not to be trusted."

Yomi remained unconcerned, saying, "I know they must have some scheme, but as long as we awaken Moryo, no trickery will work against his power. Alright, you may go and prepare."

Kusuna and Shūri bowed their heads and said, "Yes, Lord Yomi."

When Uzumaki Hane arrived at the shrine maiden's palace, she immediately encountered Taruho. Taruho had visited Uzumaki Hane several times in the past few months, delivering some daily necessities on behalf of Shion. Shion seemed to find the environment there too harsh and hadn't come back since.

Taruho saw Uzumaki Hane, his expression remained serious, but Uzumaki Hane could see a hint of joy flash in his eyes.

Uzumaki Hane smiled slightly and said, "Taruho, where's Shion?"

Taruho said, "Lady Shion is currently in training. You can wait at the Shrine Maiden's Palace."

"Okay," said Uzumaki Hane, and headed straight for the palace.

Upon arriving at the palace, Uzumaki Hane, who was already quite familiar with the place, sat cross-legged on Shion's seat, waiting for Shion to return.

After a while, Shion returned from the priestess's training hall. Seeing Uzumaki Hane, her eyes were filled with surprise, but her expression remained unchanged. She went up to Uzumaki Hane, gave her a sharp shove, and said, "Uzumaki Hane, you rude wretch! Who allowed you to sit here?"

When Shion returned, Uzumaki Hane noticed her presence, but she didn't try to hide. Instead, Uzumaki Hane smiled slightly and said, "Shion, long time no see. Have you finished your training?"

Shion said, "Yes, this is the training of a priestess, specifically training in Sealing Jutsu to seal away Moryo."

Uzumaki Hane knew that the priestess and the Moryo were actually two sides of the same coin, and the so-called seal was just merging with the Moryo. However, Shion's power was too strong, so her mother sealed her power and only allowed her to practice the formations related to sealing the Moryo.

Next, Shion recounted the Sealing Jutsu she had practiced.

With Fudō, Kusuna, and the others, Yomi arrived at the ancestral shrine of the Land of Demons.

Several people stood on the cliff, looking down at the ancestral hall below, where four soldiers were guarding the entrance.

Yomi said, "Now it's time for our plan to begin." Then, looking at Fudō, he said, "The guards below are yours."

Fudō, he smiled and said, "No problem." He then jumped off the cliff and landed steadily on the ground.

The four guards immediately noticed the Fudō, drew their steel swords, and demanded, "Who goes there?"

Fudō smiled dismissively, "The ones who will take your lives."

Upon hearing this, the four guards knew the newcomers meant trouble and shouted, "Anyone who trespasses on the ancestral hall will be killed!" They rushed forward with steel knives in hand.

Soon, the four men rushed to Fudō's side, and the guard at the front raised his steel sword and slashed down at Fudō's head.

Just as he was about to strike the Fudō man, the guard was secretly pleased, thinking, "It seems the newcomer isn't very strong." But without the slightest hesitation, he swung down with all his might.

At that moment, the guard only saw a black shadow flash before his eyes. Fudō, the right hand, palm raised, had already pierced the guard's chest. Blood dripped from the guard's mouth as he muttered, "Such speed..."

His face remained expressionless, as if he had merely crushed an ant. With Fudō, he landed on top of another guard, threw a punch, and with a bang, the guard was sent flying backward, spitting out blood, clearly already dead.

The remaining two guards were startled, but their eyes showed Fudō hesitation as they slashed down at the stationary figure.

"Earth Release: Hardening Technique" - Fudō, he hardened his body and swiftly struck out with both hands, shattering the chests of the two guards.

After dealing with the guards, Fudō looked up at the mountaintop, where Yomi led Kusuna and Shūri down.

Yomi walked through the gate, excitedly saying, "I've waited so long, this moment has finally arrived." Then he said to the three of Fudō, "You wait here. Ahead lies the junction of two worlds, and only I, who possess the name Yomi, can enter." He then walked directly into the ancestral hall, arriving at the place where the Moryo were sealed. Looking at the seal before him, he slowly chanted the incantation and broke the seal with a single blow.

As soon as the seal broke, a voice came from the cave. "A familiar aura, how nostalgic! Have I returned to this world?"

Yomi immediately knelt on the ground and respectfully said, "Congratulations on the return of Lord Moryo."

A voice came. "Who is it? Who woke me up?"

Yomi respectfully replied, "Moryo, you've forgotten, I am Yomi."

Upon hearing the name, the Moryo said with some confusion, "Yomi..."

Yomi said, "I was one of the ninjas who borrowed your power to create the Ghost Army."

The Moryo said, "Why did you awaken me?"

Yomi said, "Moryo, the celestial phenomena have changed. It is time for us to awaken the Ghost Army once more, unify the world, and establish a thousand-year kingdom." As soon as he finished speaking, an arm suddenly pierced through Yomi's chest. Yomi looked down at the arm in front of his chest, then turned to look behind him. There stood Fudō, his face full of ferocity.
