Moryo and the Prophecy

Fudō tossed Yomi aside and laughed smugly, "Thank you for breaking the seal. The Moryo is mine now. As long as I use the Sealing Jutsu taught by Kazuma to seal the Moryo inside my body, I can become something like Jinchūriki." He began to Hand Seals.

The Moryo's calm voice rang out. "No one in this world can seal me away."

Fudō sneered, "Aren't you sealed inside right now? Besides, we used this seal to seal the Nine-Tails 'Chakra, hahaha, you'll be mine soon. I'll help you destroy the Five Great Nations and establish a thousand-year kingdom." Fudō spoke, his hands continued to move rapidly, forming hand seals.

The Moryo remained silent, waiting for its chance. For now, it was merely a soul and could not survive in this world for long.

Just as Fudō was about to finish his hand seals, a loud shout came from behind, "Dark Medical Jutsu!" Several pitch-black tentacles emerged from Yomi's Yomi, binding Fudō. At the same time, a tentacle from Moryo rushed out, quickly stabbing at Fudō. Faced with this sudden life-or-death crisis, Fudo Fudō but to abandon the Hand Seals, breaking free from Yomi's tentacles. He then performed a backflip, avoiding Moryo's tentacles. Moryo, however, shot out even more tentacles, Fudō towards Fudō in mid-air. Fudo shouted, "Earth Release: Hardening Technique!" but was directly smashed away by the tentacles.

The Moryo said to Yomi, "I am now only a soul. I feel myself about to disappear. Where is my physical body?"

Yomi knelt before Moryo and said, "Please use my body as a host and use the Dark Medical Jutsu I developed to transplant Moryo's soul into my body." As he spoke, Yomi unbuttoned his clothes, revealing the wound on his chest, the one he Fudō inflicted by Bu Dong earlier, but strangely, no blood was flowing from it.

Yomi picked up the scalpel from his clothes, inserted it into the wound, and cut open his chest and abdomen along the wound. The opening was full of disgusting mucus, revealing his empty stomach.

Yomi said, "Lord Moryo, please enter my body." Moryo's soul surged out of the cave and into Yomi's stomach. After a moment, Moryo's soul was completely inside Yomi's stomach, Yomi quickly stitched up the wound on his stomach.

The Moryo completely possessed Yomi's body and laughed wildly, "Hahaha, awaken, my legion!" Its Chakra swept outwards.

The ground began to shake, and the rocks beneath began to crumble, revealing terracotta warrior-like figures— the Ghost Army of the Moryo.

Yomi stepped forward, looking at the Ghost Army below, and said, "Now proceed towards the ancestral hall that seals the body of the Moryo."

The Moryo said, "Now all that's missing is the priestess. Once I kill the priestess who can seal me, it will be time for my Ghost Army to destroy the Five Great Nations and establish the world's only thousand-year-old kingdom."

Yomi walked up to Fudō was lying on the ground clutching his chest, blood slowly flowing from the corner of his mouth.

The immense aura of the Moryo Fudō. The Moryo said, "Fudō, are you willing to submit to me?" As it spoke, Yomi's eyes flashed with killing intent; if Fudō objected, it would kill him instantly.

"I am willing to submit to Lord Moryo," said Fudō.

The Moryo grinned wickedly, unleashing a blast of Chakra that surged into Fudō. The intense pain caused Fudo to roar Fudō. His body suddenly swelled to two meters tall, strange patterns appearing on his skin. Feeling his own power, Fudō exclaimed, "My Chakra has increased at least threefold! This feeling is incredible!" He immediately knelt before the Moryo, saying, "Fudō swears to serve Moryo with my life!"

Looking at the changes in Fudō, Moryo said, "Not bad." Then he walked outside, Fudō hurriedly got up and followed.

The two went outside, where Kusuna and Shūri lay unconscious on the ground. After entering the ancestral hall in the Yomi, Fudō had taken the opportunity to defeat the two and then quietly sneaked inside.

Moryo frowned and said, "Useless trash." Fudō stepped forward and woke the two. Upon seeing Fudō, the two immediately assumed an attack stance. Yomi said, "Stop! He has already submitted to Lord Moryo."

The two dared not disobey Yomi's orders and immediately stopped fighting, saying, "Yes, Lord Yomi."

"Let's go," said the Moryo. Then, he led the three Fudō and his Ghost Army away from the ancestral hall and headed towards the ancestral hall of the Land of Swamps.

On the border, atop a watchtower, two soldiers were intently observing their surroundings when suddenly a loud explosion occurred, followed by a huge plume of dust rising from the distant forest. One of the soldiers immediately noticed and asked, "Look, what's that?"

Another soldier hurriedly looked over there and saw a dense army in the distance. The army looked like stone statues made of rock, walking towards them, destroying countless trees in their path.

The soldier immediately issued a warning. "Enemy attack... Enemy attack..."

All the soldiers in the camp immediately went on alert. A large number of archers quickly appeared on the wooden wall, and countless arrows were shot at the Ghost Army, but they could not harm the Ghost Army. The legion walked step by step to the wooden wall, and slammed their hands on the wooden wall. The wooden wall shook violently, and the archers on it fell to the ground. The Ghost Army slammed the wooden wall down again.

With this defensive line lost, the commander led his soldiers to form a line in front of the legion, shouting, "Watch out, don't let them get past!" But facing the Ghost Army, it was like an egg hitting a rock; the soldiers were quickly overwhelmed. The Ghost Army continued its mighty advance forward.

A soldier lying on the ground struggled to release a carrier pigeon beside him, trying to send a message out.

At this moment, in the priestess's palace,

Shion was sleeping in bed when suddenly the wind chimes beside her rang. Shion opened her eyes, which glowed and displayed mysterious patterns. Shion saw countless enormous tentacles rushing towards Uzumaki Hane in the sealed cave of the Moryo Volcano. Uzumaki Hane nimbly dodged all the tentacles. Just then, a giant tentacle lunged at her, and as she was about to be pierced, Shion was filled with fear of death. Suddenly Uzumaki Hane shielded her, taking the pierce from the tentacle.

"No..." Shion screamed, immediately waking up. Looking around at everything familiar, she realized she was still in the palace. Unbeknownst to her, her clothes were already soaked with cold sweat. Shion knew this was her premonition. Was Uzumaki Hane going to die too? Shion was overwhelmed with fear, a fear she had never felt before.
