I'm doing Jujutsu Kaisen in the ninja world.

Strangely, neither of them took any action, as if they knew nothing about it.

It's understandable that Sunagakure didn't take any action, after all, they had been completely crippled by Konoha. They had no Kage, no Jinchuriki, and were now just the weakest of the weak. It was good enough that they could protect themselves, so it was normal that they didn't have the spare strength to participate.

But why does the Hidden Cloud Village also seem so low-key?

Although Kumogakure had also been attacked by cursed spirits, the losses were far less severe than those of Iwagakure, and their strength was relatively well preserved.

They are fully capable of causing enormous trouble for Iwagakure at this moment.

Especially given that there was already a great deal of animosity between the two sides.

However, Kumogakure remained completely inactive. In fact, news spread that Iwagakure had sensed an impending attack and had requested assistance from Konoha and Kumogakure in advance. Konoha and Kumogakure did indeed send people to aid Iwagakure.

However, it still couldn't change the fact that the Tsuchikage was killed in action.

The fact that Kumogakure did not kick someone when they were down, but instead offered a helping hand, surprised many people. They felt that this was not Kumogakure's style at all, but rather more like Konoha's sucker.

In fact, the reason why no one acted rashly is quite simple.

Firstly, almost all five major ninja villages have suffered losses from the cursed spirits. To put it mildly, they are united in their hatred of the enemy; to put it more broadly, they are the common enemy of humanity.

Therefore, under the current circumstances, anyone who is still single-mindedly focused on internal strife should weigh the consequences and consider whether they will become a common enemy of all mankind and leave a lasting stain on their reputation.

Secondly, the new agent, Tu Ying Huang Tu, is very decisive and has great courage.

He was willing to offer ten cursed items as ransom just to get rid of Shinji and his gang of 'kidnappers,' so one can only imagine how much substantial gratitude Konoha and Kumogakure would receive for extending a helping hand this time!

In Huang Tu's view, it is very necessary to pay some price to obtain temporary stability and peace, and to firmly hold Konoha and Kumogakure, whose strength is currently the best preserved, together.

Even the stubborn old folks in the village couldn't object to this.

Most people can tell whether saving face or survival is more important.

Besides, there's still a fig leaf to cover things up.

Which sounds better, a thank-you gift or protection money?

The former is definitely better!

Even outsiders can't find fault with it.

Although most sensible people know exactly what's going on.

Having received many benefits, Konoha and Kumogakure naturally returned home satisfied.

However, the death of the Tsuchikage served as a wake-up call for the other four great ninja villages, so they have begun new discussions in secret.

They discussed whether to unite, concentrate all their forces, take the initiative, and completely eradicate these cursed spirits!

This idea is certainly good, but it's difficult to implement.

After all, it involves the five most powerful ninja villages in the entire ninja world, and the wrangling alone would take a long time.

There are too many problems that need to be solved one by one.

For example, after joining forces, how many ninjas will each side contribute? How much supplies will each side provide? Who will lead? How will the compensation for those killed in action be distributed, and what standards will be used for it?

That's really a case of too much or too little.

Ultimately, it all comes down to the death of the Tsuchikage. While it was shocking, it didn't quite create a sense of crisis.

If the entire Iwagakure village were wiped out, things would be much simpler.

. . . . . . .

There exists a mysterious underground palace in the Land of Demons.

Legend has it that a group of demons once nearly destroyed the world, but were defeated and sealed away by the priestess Miroku at the last moment.

Very few people know that this rumor is not false, but actually true.

The priestess Miroku sealed the soul of the defeated demon here, while its body was sealed in the shrine of the Swamp Country.

And the descendants of the priestess Miroku have always been protecting this place.

After a period of peace, this place once again welcomed uninvited guests.

Inside the mysterious underground palace, Huang Quan and his four subordinates broke the seal.

Just as he was triumphantly opening his chest, intending to absorb the demon's power into his body, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

A beautiful woman with gray hair walked out from inside.

"Who are you? Why are you in there? Where are the demons?!"

Huang Quan was shocked and couldn't understand it at all.

Did someone anticipate that he would release the demons and monsters, and thus switch them out beforehand?

Or perhaps someone beat them to it?

"I'd like to see what kind of monster you really are!"

Just as Huang Tu was about to take action in shock and anger, suddenly, a column of orange-red magma erupted from beneath his feet, burning him to death.

Throughout the entire process, the woman never once looked at Huang Quan, but instead looked into the darkness behind him.

Then a figure emerged from the darkness—it was Shanhu, who had three eyes!

"Dealing with those four humans outside wasted an extra second; otherwise, this guy would have already taken care of them before you came out."

Shanhu did not speak, but Mr. Di's voice came through.

"Two souls sharing one body? It seems your plan has failed."

"It was just a little accident; now I need a new body."

The woman thought for a moment, then took out a lump of purple, mud-like substance. "This monster is very interesting. It has a very high degree of malleability and can give 'life' to inanimate objects to some extent. What's even more interesting is that it only has instinctive consciousness and no self-awareness."

"As long as you possess this soul and erase its instinctive consciousness, you can perfectly control its body. It won't affect your ability to cast spells."

Shanhu nodded. "Sounds good."

"So what price are you willing to pay? Even though this thing is just a useless trinket to me, our relationship isn't so good that I can give it to you for free."

"Five thousand human souls."

"Ten thousand times, and I can tell you how to find this monster's body."

"make a deal."

[Chapter 454. Known as Little Pigeon Pool]

The gray-haired woman tossed a strange purple stone and the monster in her hand to the other person.

"Come find me again after you've filled it up. By the way, don't touch the nearest human village for now; I have other uses for it."

Shanhu took the two items, but never approached the woman within 15 meters.

Before he arrived, Mr. Di had told him that this woman was the embodiment of death. Any life that dared to step within 15 meters of her would either have its life force eliminated or die on the spot. Even their souls would not escape and would be 'eaten' by her.

Mr. Enemy calls this ability the Death Aura.

And he never even considered inviting the other party to join his alliance.

Such terrifying power naturally made Shanhu extremely wary.

However, this ability seems to be ineffective against the soul, only targeting living beings.

Shanhu's eyes flickered for a moment, then she quickly left.

Ten thousand human souls is no small number. How many villages would it take to slaughter them all to satisfy their appetite?

He certainly didn't feel any guilt, he just found it a bit troublesome.

But in order to get rid of the old man who was staying in his body as soon as possible, he had no choice but to put in a little more effort.

Skipping the nearest village, Shanhu headed towards another village she had seen on the way there. There were at least a thousand people there, making it worth a special trip.

Then came a living hell where villagers suddenly began to spontaneously combust...

Countless souls were absorbed into the purple stone, becoming brighter and brighter.

. . . . . .

"what!"

"Huff... puff..."

A beautiful girl with long silver hair suddenly woke up from a dream, gasping for air as if she had encountered something extremely terrifying in her dream.

"Dead, everyone is dead..."

She kept repeating this sentence to herself, her eyes filled with despair and fear.

Then she hugged her knees, buried her head, and began to sob softly.

As the daughter of the priestess Miroku, Shion naturally inherited the priestess's power.

She can foresee death, and so far there has not been a single instance of failure.

That's why she was so afraid.

Because she foresaw the deaths of too many people in her dreams.

"what should I do?"

Two voices were arguing in her mind. One said, "The future cannot be changed. Since death has already been foreseen, let's face it calmly. Anyway, nothing can be changed."

But another voice says, "Just because we couldn't change things in the past doesn't mean they can never be changed. How will we know the outcome if we don't even try? Are we just going to stand by and watch so many people be brutally murdered?"

The two voices were making Ziyuan feel flustered and indecisive.

On the one hand, she felt that she couldn't change anything, but on the other hand, she couldn't just sit idly by.

But in the end, she made a decision that was consistent with her personality.

She needs to call for help from outside!

Even if the final result remains the same, at least she tried her best and has a clear conscience.

So she sought help from the Land of Wind, the Land of Thunder, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Fire, posing as a priestess of the Land of Demons.

The Land of Water was abandoned because it was too far away.

She wasn't sure how many countries would help her.
