……
Ghost Country
Might Guy, Shikamaru, Rock Lee, and Tenten have already joined up with Shion and are going to escort her to the shrine in the Land of Swamp to seal away the demon, but the demon's minions are not to be outdone.
boom!
With a loud bang, the door was blown open, sparks flew everywhere, and shouts and sounds of fighting echoed outside.
Chi!
Just then, another bolt of lightning flashed from outside the door, like a sharp sword, making a constant hissing sound.
"Li, protect the priestess!" Might Guy shouted, instantly appearing in front of the lightning and knocking it away with a palm strike.
"Yes, Teacher Kai!"
Xiao Li pulled a kunai from his waist bag, his eyes scanning his surroundings warily, fully prepared for protection.
"Haha, it seems we've arrived just in time."
A loud laugh rang out, and then four figures that looked neither human nor ghost appeared before everyone, a bloodthirsty glint flashing at the corners of their mouths.
"So that's what this headband looks like. You're Konoha ninjas. Why did you only send the four of you?"
Since obtaining the power of the demons and greatly enhancing their strength, the four of them developed a misjudgment of their own abilities, believing that no one could be their match.
"Tch, what a hassle. Tenten, it's up to you now," Shikamaru complained to Tenten.
"clear."
Tian Tian unfurled the large scroll behind her, and a series of hidden weapons instantly shot out, heading straight for the four people opposite her.
"Is that all?" The four sneered. Two of them immediately stepped forward, and with a wave of their hands, the lightning spears and wind blades intertwined, shattering a barrage of hidden weapons.
"See? This is the power of Lord Wraith."
Chapter 126 I've Been Waiting for You
"Wow, impressive, that's youthful energy!" Might Guy gave a thumbs up, a glint of silver in his eyes, and laughed loudly, "I can't fall behind!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than he flashed in front of a woman and kicked her.
"What?!" The woman exclaimed in surprise, but it was too late to dodge.
"Leaf Whirlwind!"
Matt Kai swung his leg out, sending the woman flying high into the air with a thud. Before she could react, Matt Kai kicked off with his hind foot, launching himself forward again, gathering energy in his elbow as he pressed down on her.
"Konoha's Destroyer Rock Rising!"
"Damn it! Raiga!"
In her panic, the woman unleashed a bolt of lightning, but it was useless; under Might Guy's powerful strike, the lightning shattered into pieces.
Click!
The sound of bones cracking made even the most oblivious Matt Kai realize he couldn't hold back at this moment. He attacked with all his might, and in two moves, he made the woman vomit blood, smashing her into the ground and kicking up dust.
"What?!" The remaining three were stunned by Might Guy's strength and immediately abandoned their underestimation, looking at Might Guy with cold eyes.
"Let's teach them a lesson."
Fire Release: Fire Walk!
"Wind Release: Wind Whirlwind!"
The three exchanged a glance and made a decision instantly. One of them slammed his hand on the ground, and three flames appeared beneath his feet, heading straight for Might Guy and the others.
At the same time, another person opened his mouth and spat out a powerful whirlwind. In an instant, the flames and the whirlwind intersected, and the rolling heat wave climbed into the sky with the whirlwind, suddenly turning into a fire tornado. Sparks flew everywhere as it heavily bombarded Might Guy and his group.
"Quickly open!"
Might Guy and the others quickly retreated to avoid the attack, while Tenten once again unfurled the scroll, sending over a dozen Fuma Shuriken spinning rapidly toward them.
"A barrage of hidden weapons!"
"Heh, a trivial skill."
At this moment, the person who had not yet made a move slammed his hands together, and a thick rock suddenly rose up, blocking Tian Tian's attack.
"You're too happy too soon, Shadow Binding Technique."
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Shikamaru's languid voice suddenly rang out from behind them, and then shadows connected them to Shikamaru, halting their movements.
"What? When?! Wait, was it that time?" The leader's heart pounded wildly, and then he suddenly remembered something, and his heart skipped a beat.
They arrived behind us just as our vision was obscured by dust, as if they were waiting for the right moment!
That kid's quick-witted.
"Let's take care of them," Shikamaru said lazily with a chuckle.
"Wow! Shikamaru, you're amazing! I need to work harder too!" Rock Lee exclaimed excitedly, his eyes wide open, with two streams of tears welling up in his eyes for some reason.
“Lee!” Might Guy suddenly turned around, gave a thumbs up, and also had tears in his eyes: “You can do it.”
"Teacher Kai..." Xiao Li wiped away her endless tears and said with renewed spirit, "I will try my best!"
"I say, you're getting ahead of yourselves." The three of them curled their lips into a strange smile, which immediately made Shikamaru's heart skip a beat.
"Oh no! That woman has disappeared!" Shikamaru exclaimed.
In the midst of the chaos, the woman had already climbed out of the pit and disappeared from everyone's sight.
boom!
No sooner had Shikamaru finished speaking than Rock Lee was slammed with a brick, falling flat on his back to the ground. He angrily shouted, "Who?"
"Hmph, priestess, let's see who can save you this time!" The woman's lips curled into a strange smile, and with a wave of her hand, a bolt of lightning appeared, striking the expressionless Shion.
boom!
After a loud explosion, lightning flashed in the hall, dust spread, and the crackling sound of electricity could be heard intermittently.
"Miko-sama!"
"Heh, no need to shout anymore, she's dead. Mission accomplished, retreat." The leading man sneered, and he and the other two took advantage of Shikamaru's distraction to break free from his grasp and were about to leave.
But then, a calm and indifferent voice slowly rang out.
"Mission accomplished? I doubt it."
"The host has saved Ziyuan and received the reward [Foresight]."
Predicting the future: Under specific conditions and at a specific time, one can see some images of what will happen in the future.
As the smoke cleared, Neji caught the lightning bolt that was about to strike Shion between two fingers, his cold, emotionless Byakugan casually staring at Moryo's four subordinates.
"Ne-Ne-Neji!!!" Everyone exclaimed, and Tenten's little face was especially excited.
"It's been a long time, everyone." Neji looked at the group of people in front of him who could be considered his comrades and smiled slightly.
"Hmph! So you have an accomplice after all. So what?"
"Fire Release: Flame..."
call out!
Before the man could finish speaking, a hole appeared in his heart, and he collapsed to the ground, dying with his eyes wide open.
"What? How is that possible?"
"Hehe." Neji retracted his fingers. He hadn't been idle all these years, having created quite a few techniques.
"Retreat!" the leader said hastily when he saw that the situation was hopeless, but how could they possibly escape from Neji's hands?
Neji gently raised two fingers, made two popping sounds, and two white rays, each as thick as a finger, flew out and pierced through the skulls and hearts of the two men.
Bagua·Yunzhi!
"No, no way..." Seeing Neji kill three people so easily, everyone felt like they were dreaming. Those people were at least elite Chunin level, but now Neji was harvesting them like leeks.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
"Oh, right, I almost forgot about you." Neji turned his head to look at the woman he was holding, ignoring her terrified expression. A green snake coiled out from his sleeve, its mouth spitting out a long sword, and pierced her neck.
Although the system did seem to have given him a reward, he was too lazy to look at it; he was not worthy of such a reward.
They weren't surprised that Neji used snakes as a means of attack. Neji's training under Orochimaru was no secret in Konoha, and he hadn't intended to hide it.
Just as they were about to step forward and say "long time no see" to Neji and have a good chat, their eyes suddenly widened. They felt they must not have woken up properly to see such a scene.
At this moment, the priestess they admired, the one they needed to protect, suddenly hugged Neji tightly. Her previous expressionless and indifferent demeanor had vanished, replaced by a tenderness that made her as excited and joyful as a lover who had not seen each other for many years.
At this moment, Ziyuan didn't care what others thought. All she wanted to do was hug the person who encouraged her, helped her, and treated her like an ordinary person—the person who had left a deep impression on her heart.
"I... I've been waiting for you. I've been listening to you and diligently fulfilling my duties as a priestess. I wasn't afraid just now because I trusted you. You said you would protect me. I've been waiting for you, Neji."
Chapter 127 Cold, unpleasant dog food was slapped haphazardly in my mouth.
In the vast palace, Shion held Neji contentedly, greedily inhaling his scent, and spoke of her longing for Neji and her undisguised love for him.
Deeply ~ intensely ~
At this moment, everyone present was petrified, their mouths agape, almost touching the ground, their minds completely blank, a jumble of thoughts racing.
Leaving aside Matt Kai, the bachelor, everyone else was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old kid, but they never expected that they, at this age, would be able to smell the strong sour stench coming from the adults' mouths.
It really was like... a cold, unpleasant dog food being slapped haphazardly into my mouth.
Neji turned around, letting Shion hug him, and gently tapped her head. More than two years had passed, and Shion had grown even more graceful and beautiful, beyond words. Her pale purple pupils possessed a unique magic, making her exceptionally beautiful.
"Ziyuan embraces the host, and the host receives the reward [Curse Reflection]."
Curse Reflection: One of the priestesses' special abilities, dark and evil forces cannot affect her, and she can also choose to transfer the curse within her to others.
At this moment, the system notification made Neji glance at Shion a few more times. He didn't know much about the priestess, but he didn't expect her to have such a hidden ability. She was simply Hidan's nemesis.
Speaking of Hidan, Neji couldn't help but think of Yugito. If Hidan and his group really dared to make a move against Yugito, they would suffer a terrible fate. After all, he did leave something behind.
"Neji, will you take me with you?" Shion looked at Neji with hopeful eyes, full of anticipation.
