However, upon seeing Takiyasha-hime's serious expression and deep eyes, his mind suddenly relaxed, and a faint smile even appeared on his lips.
"It seems that being a monster hasn't changed your personality at all."
The other party's seriousness and adherence were just like when we first met.
"Huh?"
This nonsensical sigh, so far off-topic, left Takiyasha-hime somewhat bewildered.
But at that moment, the Onmyoji in front of him continued speaking, following his own words:
"Of course, if I need your strength, I will definitely not hesitate to use it."
"Be prepared, because it's bound to be a very dangerous moment."
Please continue to guide me in the future.
As he spoke, Huang stood up from his seat and stretched out his palm.
He neither made any polite gestures nor rejected the former's suggestion. After all, with the blessing of faith, this was a powerful being whom the Punishers called a 'false god'!
"Yes."
Looking at the hand pointing towards her, Takiyasha-hime also stretched out her slender hand.
【warmth.】
The feeling of déjà vu made him sigh softly in his heart.
"Oh, right."
"This was asked by Himiko to be given to you, but it has been damaged to some extent."
Before leaving, Huang took out several stone slab fragments of varying sizes, each with unique patterns.
This is the second secret treasure in Sunwheel City, the [Time Melody]. However, when the Sunwheel Queen used it to restrict the actions of the Divine Punishers, it suffered a backlash from divine power and is now in a state of collapse.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Upon seeing the fragment of the secret treasure that the Onmyoji had just taken, Takiyasha-hime's first action was not to take back this powerful object that could manipulate time, but to freeze in place as if electrocuted and mutter to herself about her queen.
[It turned out like this, as expected.]
Concerned about the Valkyrie who had suddenly lost her focus, Ara sighed softly to himself.
Upon returning to the ninja world, he and Yo-hime tacitly avoided mentioning anything about the other residents of Nichirin Castle or Queen Himiko.
But this is ultimately not something that can be avoided.
It is definitely not something that time can easily fill in or numb the past.
To be able to let go,
There is only one way: to face it directly.
Confront the reality that those who existed in your life can never return.
"Don't be too sad,"
"Himiko said this is the punishment she deserves, and that your people are waiting for you."
"Even with the general maintaining order, they must still be filled with unease."
"Only you can soothe their anxieties and lead them into a new life."
Huang spoke with a sense of empathy, and subconsciously raised his hand to rub the woman's head, as if to comfort her.
Because in many ways he is the same kind of person as them.
"Thank you."
"I'll do it."
Feeling the unique warmth emanating from the Onmyoji, Takiyasha-hime gradually emerged from her depression.
"only."
"Is there one more thing I can ask of you, Onmyoji?"
Her eyes were filled with sparkling, glittering tears.
"can."
"what's up?"
Huang did not refuse.
However, before he could even finish asking his question, the strong Valkyrie in front of him had already buried herself in his chest with a 'thud,' and was freely venting the painful emotions that had been building up in her heart.
........
“Ahhh.”
"The girl next to that guy is really outstanding."
Watching the figure ascend to the sky with manifested chakra wings and head towards the distance, Kazahana Koyuki, who should have left long ago, quietly emerged from the corner, her murmured voice filled with inexplicable meaning.
"Your Highness, you are underestimating yourself too much."
"Whether as a monarch or as a former actor."
Asami Santau, who was following beside him, immediately spoke.
"is it?"
"But this time I put the interests of the Snow Country aside."
The sound of wind, flowers, and light snow still carried a deep sense of melancholy.
She thought she had grown and let go of a lot during this time, but she didn't expect that when they met again, she still couldn't control some of her emotions.
This even led them to prioritize the interests of their own residents over their emotions.
After all, if it weren't for her insistence as the monarch, how could the Snow Kingdom have finalized such an important immigration matter in just half a day?
"Well, it's come to this now,"
"Hopefully, he didn't misjudge him."
"Let's go back."
As the figure on the horizon grew smaller and smaller, Feng Hua Xiaoxue gradually withdrew her gaze and headed towards the palace.
The ministers who were still stuck in the palace were waiting for her to give further instructions.
Chapter 636 The Undercurrents Continue: An Invasion from Suoqian Village.
The land of hot springs was invaded.
However, it was not a military invasion in the traditional sense, but a secret infiltration in the form of espionage.
The intruders were very skilled at concealment and disguise, not only avoiding and confusing the questioning of the ninjas entering the country, but also evading the investigation of the ANBU ninjas on several occasions.
It should be noted that the current ANBU of the Hidden Demon Village are all elites trained by the former Hidden Mist Ninja Swordsmen. Although they may still have some gaps in quality and experience compared to the ANBU members of the Five Great Ninja Villages, they are not ordinary people who can be easily deceived.
These two points alone are enough to prove that the infiltrators were premeditated and well-trained.
Currently, one of the infiltrators has been captured and imprisoned in a jail established by the Hidden Demon Village, a special place specifically for detaining individuals with ninja identities or those who are extremely vicious.
However, there are still some shady dealings involved in the whole incident.
For example, the reason why the Demon Hidden Village was able to capture this infiltrator and even know that such a group of people had secretly infiltrated was precisely because this guy walked right into their trap!
He confessed under the pretext of wanting to see Lord [Shadow Demon] and seeking his protection.
"I'm sorry, Ara. This incident was due to a problem with my management; I failed to detect the intruder in a timely manner."
"Please punish me."
Seeing her pillar of support return, Chino felt a sense of relief, but a hint of guilt also appeared on her face.
Because he was in charge of commanding all forces within the Kingdom of Tang except for the secret service, the emergence of such a huge infiltration loophole within the territory inevitably caused him to feel guilty.
"Well, then I'll punish you by making sure you fix the loopholes that appeared so that this won't happen again."
Ara didn't directly deny Chino's self-blame, but continued speaking, while also picking up the paper report on the table and reading it carefully.
"But........."
Upon hearing such a mild punishment, a clear emotion immediately appeared on the girl's face, and she wanted to refute this light-hearted punishment.
After all, the loopholes caused by her own mismanagement could very well bring a terrifying and unavoidable abyss to the future of the Hidden Demon Village, but they were glossed over so lightly, which left her somewhat at a loss.
"Ok, deal."
"Don't take all the blame on yourself. The Demon Hidden Village is still a newly emerging force. It's normal for it to have defensive loopholes that allow malicious people to infiltrate."
"Even a powerful place like Konoha cannot guarantee that all spies will be kept out."
"Your punishment will be to find the loopholes and fix the omissions."
"Moreover, it is always better to be infiltrated during peacetime and gradually improve oneself by filling gaps and making improvements, than to have gaps appear during wartime."
Huang directly interrupted the former's intention to continue asking for blame and patiently soothed the latter's mood.
"Yes, I understand."
Upon hearing this, Chino did not insist. She simply gave a serious reply and then remained silent to provide her leader with a quiet environment for reflection.
However, judging from his clenched fist, he had clearly made an even bigger decision in his heart.
As he reviewed the documents, Ara gradually learned the general outline of the entire incident and the mastermind behind the infiltration plan against the Demon Hidden Village.
The infiltrators were not from the five great ninja villages, but from a small village called Kasamae Village, whose existence is based on intelligence.
This village does not possess strong external military power, and its methods of training ninjas are not primarily based on traditional ninjutsu and taijutsu.
The main focus of this force's research is on a series of methods that can help ninjas steal useful information and safely transmit it back, such as intelligence gathering, infiltration, disguise, and evading tracking.
It is precisely because of this dedicated attitude that the ninjas from this village are better at intelligence gathering than those from most powerful ninja villages.
This is also the main reason why Suoqian Village was able to preserve its existence despite being surrounded by powerful forces.
Because no one can guarantee what secrets about the perpetrators will be revealed by the surviving ninjas when this village, which is based on intelligence, suffers a devastating blow.
But this threat was nothing to Huang.
