Was it blown up by the wind by accident?
Watching the little creature slowly drifting down in the wind, trailing its spider silk, the girl thought to herself, and at the same time, she had many more speculations in her mind.
[Was Master referring to that little spider just now?]
No, no, how could that be!
That little spider is clearly not an adult yet; it probably couldn't even beat me.
Such an idea was fleeting and was quickly dismissed by Ying, who even found a little bit of confidence in it.
However, comparing myself to a tiny spider—am I perhaps too obsessed with power, to the point of being delusional?
[The master must have instructed that powerful ninja who also wields a sword.]
Amidst self-deprecation, she recalled last night.
Yu Zhi still has some memories of Hai Ren, their cold, sharp glint reflected in the night sky, icy and murderous.
At the same time, a passing bird suddenly folded its wings and flew down at high speed, its target being the gift from nature!
Even the smallest mosquito is still meat.
But just as it flew to the spider's side and opened its sharp beak to enjoy the gift, a colossal beast suddenly materialized and filled its eyes...
The height above the ground has reached a level that the earth spider can accept; it no longer needs to continue using this tiny, juvenile form as a buffer.
Most importantly, if he were swallowed whole by a tiny bird or beast, how could he maintain his image in front of the Onmyoji?
"what!"
Ying couldn't help but cry out in surprise at this sudden and drastic change.
During her time hovering in this airspace, her gaze followed the flight of the birds, and she felt sorry for the small spider, which was just as weak and powerless as them. Little did she expect the reversal to come so suddenly.
That seemingly insignificant little spider was actually the giant spider that had appeared last night!
"What's wrong? Did it scare you again?"
Huang asked.
The dissatisfaction that arose during this time was also transmitted to Tsuchigumo's senses through the contract between the two.
Although such thoughts were shallow, they made it feel as if it were facing a great calamity. Not only did it instantly revert to its previous harmless little form, but it also let the protein that was already in its mouth fly away in panic.
After all, being dependent on others, it dared not offend that truly vicious person in the slightest!
"No,"
"Just a little surprised,"
"So, it was also Master's spirit beast."
Seeing the little spider suddenly disappear from her sight again for some unknown reason, Hotaru subconsciously responded, her words conveying her desire not to punish the little guy.
"Yes, I've finished taking care of my business."
"Are you coming directly to the Land of Hot Springs with me, or do you want to go back to Mount Katsuragi first?"
Huang didn't dwell on the matter too much, but instead sought his apprentice's opinion.
After providing this last stronghold with reassuring defenses, he also needed to begin completing his own tasks one by one.
"The Land of Soup".
"I want to learn ninjutsu quickly, I want to become stronger!"
Ying answered without any hesitation.
The unwavering determination emanating from the pair of distinctive emerald-colored eyes that looked up at him.
"Well, that's fine."
Ara nodded slightly, and his deep purple wings suddenly unfurled. Relying on the connection between the shikigami, he made a quick judgment of the direction and then flew towards the Land of Hot Water.
A few days after Hotaru arrived at the Hidden Demon Village, the current head of the Tsuchigumo clan, En no Yoru, also arrived.
The addition of such a powerful ninja who has mastered extremely forbidden techniques will undoubtedly further enhance the overall strength of the village.
It is also worth mentioning that he did not only bring his servant Dunbei with him on this trip, but also dozens of young juniors.
These were all his clansmen, and among the few in the clan who still wanted to become ninjas.
After making a pact with the wilderness and being granted a certain amount of life force, the ambitions that had long since dried up in the heart of the traveler began to show signs of revival.
He was no longer content with simply granting Hotaru long-term protection; he also wanted his family's name to reappear in the ninja world!
Therefore, after dealing with the treacherous Bai Lang, Yi Zhi Xing Zhe returned to the village that was separate from his own clan, expressed his own wishes, and gathered a group of clansmen who were also unwilling to accept the decline of their clan.
Although the number of clansmen who followed the former away from their homeland was very small, only fourteen people.
But they are destined to become the backbone of the Earth Spider clan after their rebirth, and the future support for Firefly.
Of course, achieving this level also reflects the desire of those in the service to 'strike first'.
After all, the Hidden Demon Village already possesses the potential to become a top-tier power like Konoha, with a wealth of strong individuals and the support of ninja clans. All it lacks now is a larger number of ninjas.
Under the renown of the Uchiha clan and Uchiha Ara, as time goes by, more wandering ninjas and even ninja families will inevitably be willing to join them.
He wanted to use this precious remaining life to pave the way for his family and for Ying.
"We are very satisfied with the designated territory for our clan."
"Thank you for your trouble, Lord Demon Shadow."
Looking at the young leader before him, the renowned warrior from the previous era bowed slightly to express his gratitude.
Not only him, but Hotaru, who was supporting her grandfather, and Tsuchigumo's junior who came with her also did the same.
"As long as you're satisfied."
"If there's anything else you need, just let Hotaru tell me."
Faced with the gratitude of such a highly respected person, Huang showed a slight sense of unease.
Therefore, after a brief conversation, he expressed his intention to leave.
However, before leaving, as if remembering something, he stopped, turned around, and said to the remaining travelers:
"Oh, right."
"The title 'Shadow Demon' is still a bit too heavy."
"You can just call me 'Ara', senior."
Chapter 609 Third-Class Divine Punishment
As they watched the young figure disappear into the distance, the younger generation of the Earth Spider clan fell into a long silence.
Before arriving in this coastal country, they had no idea that the future of their clan, as mentioned by their clan leader, did not refer to joining the traditional five great ninja villages, but rather to joining this emerging demon-hidden village, and that the leader of this force was a young man of similar age to themselves.
Although they had all heard about the Uchiha clan's reputation and the title of "Blood Demon" in their secluded lives, they had all heard about it to some extent.
But when it came down to placing their own, their family's, fate and future on the shoulders of this power and its young leader at the center of the vortex...
They still harbored some resistance.
Some even felt regret, thinking they shouldn't have left their ancestral land so easily.
"Master Patriarch,"
"The title of 'Shadow' seems to be reserved for the leaders of the five great ninja villages."
"Lord Ara's name and the reputation of the Uchiha clan are very prestigious."
"But are we being too humble?"
When the young leader, who was about their age, completely disappeared from sight, several descendants of the Earth Spider clan, who were moved, exchanged glances and finally voiced their concerns.
And when she recalled how the clan leader had bowed and addressed her as 'Lord Demon Shadow' just now, a flush of shame rose on her face.
It should be noted that due to the terrifying power that can be released by our clan's secret technique, "Raging Heaven," even the Third Hokage of Konoha is placed on an equal footing with us.
“Master, it’s not like we absolutely have to let the Earth Spider Clan join.”
Upon hearing the question tinged with doubt from his clansmen, the first to answer was not the Traveler, but the Firefly beside him.
And you can clearly hear the dissatisfaction in his voice.
This is not only because, as a branch of the family that was subtly 'driven away' from the village, they had no special ties or feelings with their own clansmen.
Furthermore, it was because she had personally witnessed her master's terrifying strength and powerful foundation.
After all, even the unconventional Sky Ninja lineage did not show any desire to dominate or possess, let alone the Tsuchigumo clan, which has very few ninjas.
Yes, the family's secret techniques are very powerful.
However, it also takes a certain amount of time to build up strength. In that gap, which is neither too long nor too short, not to mention the master, even the strange swordsman who acted that night could have ended the battle.
Of course, the most important point is,
Lord Ara is her master!
Compared to a family that didn't give me much affection or a sense of belonging, the question of which is more important is self-evident and doesn't require any weighing or consideration.
The girl's sudden and forceful defense caused the expressions of the several younger members of the Earth Spider clan who had raised questions to freeze, and the shame in their eyes quickly turned into indignation.
After all, dozens of people on their side had come out of the village at the behest of the clan chief, and they were filled with the passion to revitalize the clan. However, they never expected that they would be directly and decisively rejected by the clan chief's successor.
Such a biased approach was somewhat unacceptable to these young Earth Spider tribesmen.
"firefly!"
"Watch your attitude."
The Traveler naturally sensed the sudden tension and immediately interrupted the girl's protests.
At the same time, a hidden emotion welled up in his eyes.
In just a few days, his obedient and gentle granddaughter had shown a change in personality. It must have been because she had witnessed something that was enough to overturn her understanding during the short time she spent with that person.
Although such words may be hurtful among clan members, for a ninja and a successor to the clan chief, gradually developing a tougher and more decisive character is not necessarily a bad thing.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I got a little emotional."
Upon hearing the reprimand, the girl froze for a moment and then apologized to the tribespeople standing nearby.
