He had noticed Namiashi Raidou's subtle actions long ago, and it was his deliberate act to keep Namiashi Raidou alive until now.

Now is the time to destroy their hopes with our own hands.

A pillar of magma erupted instantly, and even the fastest speed could not escape the 'sure hit' effect, and they were immediately enveloped and washed away by the magma.

At this point, he was less than two meters away from the coral.

Give him just 0.1 seconds more, and he might just be able to create a miracle...

And then a miracle really happened!

A figure engulfed in flames, its entire body melted by the intense heat, its face unrecognizable as a demon, burst forth from the pillar of magma and arrived before Shanhu.

Heh...

Although Namiashi Raido had lost the ability to speak and was blind in one eye, his sheer willpower still allowed Sanju to read what he wanted to say.

dead!

Namashi Raiichi stabbed Shank in the third eye on her forehead...

The picture seems to freeze at this moment.

"What a pity..."

From the other person's eyes, Shanhu seemed to have read this sentence.

Then, Raito was burned to ashes and disappeared completely.

His Mortal Blade allowed him to survive for an extra second between life and death, but it didn't allow his sword to borrow an extra second from the heavens.

So when it finally stabbed Shanhu in the head, the knife had already turned into molten iron.

Mr. Enemy opened his eyes. "Stop playing around and take care of them quickly."

Shanhu smiled, and several more pillars of lava erupted, burning the remaining people to death.

Although he was somewhat amazed by that guy's final strike, the result would have been the same even if the knife had been intact.

Because Mr. Di has not used a single bit of his power from beginning to end.

If Shanhu had been in real danger, Mr. Enemy would have immediately used the Annihilation Spell to destroy her.

Snap...

Shanhu released the barrier and returned to the village.

Seeing that only the monster had appeared and no one else was in sight, Yamashiro Aoba, who had just finished putting out the fire, had a bad feeling.

His gaze naturally caught Shanhu's attention.

Shanhu then said with a smile, "Young man over there, aren't you going to avenge your companions?"

Upon hearing this, Yamashiro Aoba gritted her teeth, imprinting Shanhu's image deeply into her soul, and then turned and ran without hesitation!

So many people joined forces just now and couldn't do anything to the other side. Now that he's all alone, even if he charges over, he'll just be throwing his life away.

He wasn't afraid of dying, but he didn't want to die in such a meaningless way.

The information here needs to be spread so that someone can avenge our comrades.

"He ran away. I thought he would charge at us recklessly."

Shanhu was quite disappointed to see this.

He wasn't particularly good at speed, let alone at such a great distance.

Besides, he's just a scaredy-cat; there's no need to waste time on him.

As for borrowing Mr. Enemy's power...

Would you borrow a rocket launcher just to kill a bug?

"No need to chase them anymore, let's collect their souls first. By the time the pursuers arrive, I'll already have a new body, so no matter how many come, the outcome will be the same."

"Okay, let me put my arm back on first... Found it, it's here."

Shanhu picked up her severed arm and put it back in.

Lava gushed out from the severed arm, gluing it back together before quickly solidifying.

Although it's quite outrageous, that's how Shanhu managed to reattach her severed arm.

On the contrary, the volcano on his head had a corner cut off and could not be repaired, which made him so angry that he wanted to kill Nami again because he had become incomplete.

This anger was then vented on these innocent villagers.

"No one can protect you, so burn to ashes!"

Shanhu yelled and slammed her fist into the ground.

Soon after, the entire village was engulfed in flames.

Countless souls were absorbed into the purple soul stone in Shanhu's hand.

Soon, the purple soulstone emitted a beautiful light, then returned to its ordinary appearance.

Shanhu knew this meant the Soul Stone was full.

You can proceed with the transaction now.

Perhaps there are still some survivors hiding in some corner of the village, but Shanhu has no interest in searching for them anymore; their fate is entirely up to luck.

He simply set the fire a little more intensely before leaving.

Not long after Shanhu left, Yamashiro Aoba suddenly returned and frantically used Water Release to put out the fire.

When he exhausted all his chakra, he finally brought the massive fire under control.

Then he heard faint cries for help.

Many villagers who were hiding in cellars or other places were still alive, but they were not far from death, because the smoke and dust from the fire were the most deadly.

Disregarding his own safety, Yamashiro Aoba rushed in. He would rescue anyone who was still alive as soon as he found them.

By the time he finally collapsed from exhaustion, his vision blurred, and he had rescued nearly a hundred people.

In a daze, he seemed to see his dead companions and Raido Nami's smiling face at him.

Sometimes, it takes more courage to live than to die.

Yamashiro Aoba didn't know if he could withstand the pressure, but he would never give up easily.

He wants to live on, carrying everyone's share, and then take revenge!

When Yamashiro Aoba woke up again, he had already been sent back to Konoha.

Kakashi happened to be passing by on his way back to the village, so he rescued him and the others.

It has to be said, he was quite lucky.

When Yamashiro Aoba woke up, the first thing he did was to meet with the Hokage and report the whole incident.

Although doctors advised him to rest, he insisted on doing so.

Hiruzen Sarutobi then summoned him, learned everything that had happened, and then wrote down the whole story, sending it to Sunagakure and Iwagakure respectively.

[Chapter 459 The Next Hokage]

Shanhu returned to the underground palace of the Demon Kingdom with the purple soul stone.

This time, no one needed to break the seal; the purple soul stone was instantly sucked inside by a suction force.

Then a woman's voice came from inside, "The monster's body is sealed in the Swamp Country. Go to the nearest village and find a priestess named Shion. She knows the exact location and has the ability to break the seal."

Ten thousand human souls were exchanged for just one sentence?

Shanhu was a little annoyed, but remembering Mr. Di's wariness of this guy, he didn't say anything more.

Even if someone were to step up, it wouldn't be his turn.

Mr. Di didn't waste any words and directly told Shanhu to leave.

After all, given his current condition, he is no match for his opponent.

After leaving the underground palace, Shanhu went to the nearest village. Only then did he realize why the other party hadn't let him take action against the people in this village. It turned out that they had planned it all along.

However, when he arrived, he discovered that many people had already fled.

After interrogating several people, they learned that it was the priestess named Shion who had driven the crowd away early on.

It seems they had anticipated the danger they would face and fled to an unknown location.

This was beyond Shanhu's expectations.

"What do we do now?" Shanhu is not good at finding people.

Mr. Enemy's voice quickly echoed in his mind, "Go to the Swamp Country first. The souls of the monsters are in our hands, so we should be able to sense their physical location. As for those seals, we may not need that so-called priestess to break them."

Shanhu nodded, which was considered as acknowledging Mr. Di's statement.

. . . . . .

The Land of Fire, Konoha Village.

Tsunade took the initiative to accept the mission and went to rescue Shion, the priestess who had escaped from the Land of Demons.

Besides bringing Jingyin, she also brought her newly accepted disciple, Haruno Sakura, with her this time, intending to keep her by her side and train her.

At the main entrance of the village, Jiraiya looked helpless. "Is it really necessary to leave in such a hurry?"

Tsunade glared at him, annoyed. "If it weren't for saving you, I wouldn't have come back at all. Now that you've already agreed to the old man's request, what's the point of me staying? To give you a chance to do something shady?"

Jiraiya smiled wryly: "How could I dare? I've already learned a lot from surviving last time. Since you're unwilling, I'll have to take your place. That's why I need you to stay and help me even more."

"I'm helping you right now."

"You should know that's not what I meant."

"It doesn't matter. Maybe I haven't had enough of wandering yet. I'll come back to retire when I've figured things out. When that happens, you can arrange a job for me that doesn't require any work and pays well, so I can have alcohol to drink every day."

Tsunade's nonchalant words left Zai with no choice but to nod dejectedly.

In a while, it will be time for Hiruzen Sarutobi to officially step down as Hokage, and Jiraiya will be the next Hokage, soon to take office.

As expected, just as Tsunade had said.
