I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

However, the undercurrents within were becoming increasingly turbulent.

The first and most important reason is that Admiral Mifune is getting old, and many ambitious guys have begun to covet his position.

The second is the invisible situation created by the overall environment of the ninja world.

Starting from the Second Shinobi World War, no, or even earlier, from the First Shinobi World War, or even at the beginning of the late Warring States period.

The power of ninjas began to take root in people's minds.

This concept naturally began to influence the status of samurai.

Because a samurai who relies solely on swordsmanship or physical skills is far less versatile and efficient than a specially trained ninja in carrying out a mission.

The most direct consequence of this was that samurai who upheld the principles of "peace and loyalty" began to join the ranks of ninjas, and even some martial arts schools began to emulate the ninjutsu of the ninjas.

This situation is extremely terrifying, because it signifies that the samurai lineage is declining, and may even become a mere branch or disappear altogether in the future!

The army that has suddenly marched to the border of the Land of Hot Water is led by high-ranking officials who are inclined to reform the entire Land of Iron into a ninja system.

In fact, Admiral Mifune had long been aware of this situation, and the entire Land of Iron was also tacitly aware of it.

The reason why there has been no major change over the past few decades is that the Commander-in-Chief is still alive, and Lord Mifune's prestige holds sway over the faith of the vast majority of samurai.

But now, that idiot has actually led his followers to invade the Land of Hot Springs, which is clearly instigated by some external ninja village. And this coincides with the incident where their own samurai were unjustly killed within the Land of Hot Springs, so they've also taken advantage of the desire of some mobilized samurai to avenge their comrades!

[Bastard! Bastard!!]

As the day drew nearer, even the usually composed Okiji couldn't help but furrow his brow. He was determined to disarm the bastard in charge and bring him before Lord Mifune the moment he saw him.

But because of the closer distance, a thick, bloody smell, like a sudden sea breeze, rushed into his nose all at once.

Not only his senses, but also the dozens of warriors behind him, sensed a strange and eerie feeling.

After all, a helmet with anti-gas properties can't filter out the smell of blood;

After all, why couldn't a single sound be transmitted from a camp of thousands of people?

Previously, it might have been because of the distance, but now, they are less than three miles apart, and they still cannot hear any human voices or sounds of war!

Until Chongjie, who was at the very front of the march, suddenly stopped.

Until the samurai following behind him, rushing forward, almost collided with their captain due to inertia.

Their anxiety and anger were instantly transformed, and fear filled their hearts in an instant!

The ground in sight was completely shattered, with broken armor scattered across the area, blood staining the earth, and greedy flies lingering around.

What on earth happened here?!

Dozens of warriors from the Land of Iron stood frozen in fear and disbelief on this ravaged land.

What about their main army?

What about their warriors?

Why is this region left with only remnants of soldiers and tattered armor, yet not even a single skeleton can be found?

No one could give them the answer.

But one thing was echoing in Chongjie's mind.

【blockade,】

This kind of information must be blocked immediately!!

Otherwise, the reputation of the warriors of the Land of Iron will plummet.

But how can this region, stained with blood, be sealed off?

........

Are they all stationed in the dense forest to the east?

Hearing the report from her subordinates, Chino's eyes flashed with deep disdain.

"Even the martial-minded Cloud Village is nothing special."

Sharp and forceful words flowed freely from his lips.

Currently, the threat from Akatsuki has been imprisoned, and the threats from the Land of Iron and Konoha Root have been eliminated. All that remains are the Hidden Cloud Village ninjas who have traveled south from the east.

But it must be said that those guys are also the most troublesome enemy at present.

Having just returned from the campaign, Kaguya Kimimaro needed some time to recuperate. The elite Blade Soldiers needed to guard the four directions to prevent any other ninjas from sneaking in. The other members also needed rest after a night of fighting.

The most sensible course of action would be to maintain the stalemate, or wait until the Hidden Cloud Village ninjas become restless and infiltrate the city, before replicating last night's battle to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

"Always maintain one small team to keep watch, while the others take turns resting."

Qian Nuo gave the order,

"Yes."

The ninja behind him immediately responded, his voice much louder than the night before.

In one night, they wiped out the elite assassins from Konoha and thousands of samurai from the Land of Iron. Now, they stand guard here alongside them, my lords!

But beneath the fervent emotions of the crowd lies a deep-seated worry in Chino's heart.

After all, the Hidden Cloud Village is the formidable enemy standing at our doorstep. If we can't deal with those bastards as soon as possible, it will be a blow to the morale and public support of the entire capital.

Moreover, the current stalling tactic is extremely disadvantageous to our side. The attitude of the samurai from the Land of Iron after their complete annihilation, whether those old foxes in Konoha have any backup plans, what the ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village are waiting for, and even whether the secret Akatsuki organization will intervene are all unknown.

Most importantly, since the Land of Iron began its invasion, this message has been sent out several times through the Ninja Cats, but has not received any response whatsoever.

Has something happened to that person?

A sense of unease arose in Chino's heart, but she quickly suppressed it.

No, that's impossible!

The girl's gaze gradually hardened, especially since she was still at her peak in this city.

I will absolutely protect this place!

Even at the cost of my life!!

Chapter 385 The Deceptive Demon, the Illusion of Suicide.

"Pfft."

When the first streak of blood, burning with ghostly energy, was exposed to the air along with the torn clothes on the bull demon's body, it was as if Pandora's box had been opened, and everything gradually began to fall into an irreversible situation.

More and more wounds began to be inflicted on him, and negative emotions such as pain, irritability, and anxiety, along with the demonic power that was escaping, began to erode his state of mind, making his sword-wielding efficiency increasingly lower.

The cause of all this is that eerie demon-slaying sword, wreathed in blue demonic flames!

These battle blades, specially forged to target monsters, can easily slice through the monsters' prized physiques and prevent them from healing themselves. They are one of the most powerful weapons used by the Yin-Yang families to deal with monsters.

However, it doesn't matter if the opponent is just a weak Onmyoji who relies solely on this demon sword, because the centuries of accumulation of a great demon are not something that humans can easily overcome.

But the boy before me was different.

Enveloped in a demonic aura, coupled with his incredibly eerie movements and secret techniques, he steadily narrowed the century-old chasm between the two!

【calm,】

【calm. 】

Staring at the despicable Onmyoji in his field of vision, Ushioni kept repeating the name in his mind and forcibly suppressing the Onmyoji power that was relentlessly eroding his body like a malignant tumor.

just,

【What's going on! 】

Niu Gui shook his head violently, and for the first time, a look of emotion appeared in the corners of his sharp eyes.

Whether it was the Yin-Yang energy that was constantly eroding his body affecting his condition, or some other reason, the human boy in his sight briefly disappeared!

This is by no means an illusion caused by any movement technique, but a substantial disappearance from the visual senses!

But the surging heat in the air, the powerful pressure that condensed in the air, constantly reminded him that this was not a real disappearance.

That person is still there.

It stood straight up in front of me!

However, due to some kind of internal emotion, such as fear or anxiety, interfering with one's judgment, fragmented images appear in one's vision, like a screen flashing.

Or perhaps it is!

Suddenly, the demon's vision stretched out to the back of the human boy.

Within the thick fog that nearly enveloped the entire Nyan Mountain, countless powerful demons lurked, their scarlet eyes filled with a variety of emotions. The surging demonic power, rising to the heavens, was entirely at the command of the young Onmyoji in sight!

That is,

That's the fear of demons!

[This is evidence of fear instilled in them by other living beings!]

[It is also one of the strongest sources of power for demons!!]

The bull demon's left pupil trembled in disbelief.

But the boy in my field of vision is clearly human, so how could he borrow the power of a demon like this!

That belongs to the Lord of Demons.

It is a power and influence that can only be borrowed by a great demon whose followers sincerely acknowledge it!

Just as one can borrow the entire retinue of Mount Twilight to enhance one's aura, how can mere humans borrow it?

Such a relationship should not exist between humans and monsters!!

What should be presented is mutual hostility and mutual slaughter, like fire and water!

This was the biggest question in the mind of the Ox Demon.

Of course, regarding this force...

When the monster team to which they belonged was broken up, the leverage naturally collapsed as well.

"Hey, where are you looking?"

"Your opponent is me."
