Awakening and Defeat
"Gah gah gah, I'm back again." As the body and soul of the Moryo were completely merged, the entire sealing platform began to shake, becoming more and more violent. Uzumaki Hane hurriedly came to Shion's side.
Just then, the sealing platform shattered, unleashing countless black tentacles. One tentacle slammed directly at Uzumaki Hane, who roared and grabbed the attacking tentacle, burning it off with his molten lava. Enraged, the demon unleashed even more tentacles at Moryo Uzumaki Hane, Uzumaki Hane entire body instantly turned to magma, burning the tentacles to ashes.
The Moryo roared in fury. Seeing that it could not attack Uzumaki Hane, it suddenly stabbed at Shion with its tentacles. Shion was powerless at the moment. Once it was stabbed, she would die. Uzumaki Hane was shocked. How could the Moryo hurt Shion? There was no time to think. Her body immediately returned to normal. In a flash, she appeared in front of Shion. Her chest was directly pierced by the tentacles.
Shion stared at the Uzumaki Hane pierced through her chest, her eyes narrowing. Wasn't this just like her dream? Could nothing be changed? Shion screamed, "No..." A tremendous power surged from her body, but as soon as this power appeared, the wind chimes on the Uzumaki Hane emitted a faint glow, and the power in Shion's body vanished.
Uzumaki Hane grabbed the tentacle with his right hand and burned it instantly. Turning his head, he said, "We made a promise. I will definitely live."
The Moryo roared again, and countless tentacles rushed towards Uzumaki Hane. Uzumaki Hane shouted, and magma erupted from below the stone path, forming a Magma Wall that blocked all the tentacles.
Suddenly, Shion lost her footing and screamed as Shion plummeted to the ground. Uzumaki Hane turned around quickly and, seeing Shion in danger, tried to grab Shion. However, countless tentacles smashed through the Magma Wall, sending Uzumaki Hane flying.
Uzumaki Hane's hands instantly turned into lava, and he threw several punches at the black coffin. The Moryo immediately retracted its tentacles to block Uzumaki Hane's attack, and then suddenly rebounded, shooting towards Uzumaki Hane at high speed.
Uzumaki Hane leaped between the tentacles, dodging all the attacks. Then, he unleashed a series of Rock Fist with his right hand, destroying several tentacles. However, the tentacles kept multiplying, forcing Uzumaki Hane to constantly dodge between them.
Shion fell into the body of the Moryo, as if she were in darkness.
While dodging the tentacles of the Moryo, Uzumaki Hane shouted, "Shion..."
Uzumaki Hane's shouts startled Shion awake. Shion opened her eyes abruptly, thinking, "Am I not dead?" Memories of her childhood, her mother, the wind chimes, and the seal flashed through her mind. The Moryo chuckled, "Hehehe, is this alright? Giving the priestess's amulet to someone else. But now nothing can stop me from devouring you. Come, merge with me."
Shion squatted in the darkness, her hands trembling, and said, "That's good. If we had known from the beginning, we wouldn't have had to sacrifice the villagers' lives. Don't you think so, Mother?" Shion looked up at the only light in the darkness, where her mother, Shion Miroku, was.
Seemingly responding to Shion's call, the light suddenly intensified, enveloping Shion. Shion felt as if she were in her mother's arms, Miroku whispered in Shion ear, "Shion, do you blame me?" Then, countless figures appeared before Shion's eyes—her mother using the wind chimes to seal her away, and the truth she had foreseen. Tears streamed down Shion's face as she said, "Shion loves Mother the most."
Miroku's power slowly dissipated, while Shion unleashed an even more terrifying power. Shion murmured, "It's a promise, you must live well."
Uzumaki Hane kept dodging the tentacles, but couldn't get close to Shion. Suddenly, Shion's voice came from beside her. "It's a promise, you have to live." As soon as she finished speaking, the wind chimes on Uzumaki Hane's body emitted a dazzling light, and the tentacles exploded when they touched the light. Seeing this, Uzumaki Hane rushed towards Shion, and tentacles exploded wherever she went.
The light emanating from Shion grew ever brighter as she spoke to Moryo, "It's all over, Moryo. This is my destiny." Countless powers erupted from her body, clearly indicating her intention to perish together with Moryo.
At that moment, Uzumaki Hane's voice came. "Are you an idiot?" Then a hand grabbed Shion and pulled Shion out of the Moryo's body.
Shion looked at the owner of the hand, which was none other than Uzumaki Hane, who had used the power of the wind chimes to rush into the body of the Moryo.
Uzumaki Hane held Shion in her arms and roared, "Do you want to die like this? Do you want to disappear like this?"
Shion cried out, "No, I don't want to die, I want to live..."
Uzumaki Hane carried Shion on his back and laughed loudly, "Alright, Shion, use your power to severely injure Moryo. Today, let me break your destiny."
A dazzling light emanated from Shion's body, shooting towards the Moryo, Moryo let out a deafening roar.
With a roar, Uzumaki Hane Teuchi countless Rock Fist from both hands, a Meteor Volcano,"Uzumaki Hane's most powerful technique to date, burying the entire sealing platform, along with the Moryo, within the lava. The entire volcanic cave began to tremble, countless rocks falling and collapsing. The magma beneath the ground churned and erupted under the relentless impact of Uzumaki Hane's Rock Fist. Uzumaki Hane hurriedly led Shion away from the crater.
Outside the crater, Might Guy, Neji, and the other two were desperately trying to hold off the stone statues, but there were simply too many of them to defeat. Their stamina and Chakra were already exhausted, and they could only barely keep going.
Seeing his disciple's disheveled state, Might Guy realized he probably wouldn't last much longer. Might Guy kicked a stone statue to pieces, thinking to himself, "Yu, if you don't hurry, we won't be able to hold on, and then we'll probably have to use that move." At that moment, a loud bang came from inside the crater, and the entire ground began to shake. Might Guy and the others were exhausted and accidentally fell to the ground.
The group realized they were in trouble, but the statues' attack didn't come. Sometime later, the statues stopped moving.
Might Guy said, "This is... Yu and the others succeeded."
The tremors grew increasingly violent. Uzumaki Shion Uzumaki Hane, rushed out of the cave and shouted to Might Guy and the others, "Quick, let's go! The volcano is about to erupt!" Might Guy and the others were startled and quickly followed behind Uzumaki Hane, leaving the crater.
The group arrived at a mountaintop and looked out over the crater. Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted, and countless streams of lava erupted from the crater, spewing out countless lava flows that slowly trickled out of the crater, creating a truly spectacular sight.
Uzumaki Hane said, "It's all over."
Shion smiled. "It's all over. You've broken my destiny. Now, being a priestess is my mission. To prevent the rebirth of the Moryo, I will pass it down from generation to generation."
