The light spread, and the air seemed to ripple layer by layer.

   Kakashi, who was close at hand, was slightly taken aback by the white light.

  A few days ago, I learned the true identity of the masked man, and was reminded by Master Orochimaru, determined to draw a clear line with Obito, but even though the rational decision was made in this way, some resentment and depression inevitably arose in my heart.

  However, at this time, these negative emotions seem to be washed away by the reflection of these lights, and the mind suddenly feels relaxed.

   "It's no wonder that the villagers in the kingdom of ghosts respect the witch society so much, even if it's just a little girl about six years old."

  Kakashi suddenly realized that when he went to greet Shion, he felt that the attitude of those villagers was really strange.

You must know that even Konoha Hokage, the object of everyone's respect, only refers to three generations of individuals, that is, his child Asuma Sarutobi. some facts.

   "With this kind of ability, it's no wonder that although the kingdom of ghosts is small, there are not even many ninjas, but it has survived from the Warring States Period to the present."

  Kakashi was thinking about the origin of the unity of the villagers in the country of ghosts, but a scream woke him up.

   In front of him, no matter what kind of treatment he encountered, the wild and rebellious monster seemed to be suffering great pain at this moment.

  The shrill voice seemed to be squeezed directly from the throat, the limbs and neck struggled unceasingly, the red tongue was even chapped by the stone lock, the blood red mixed with mucus, and fell to the wooden platform.

   "This is unbelievable."

  Kakashi opened his glasses slightly.

  If it wasn't for the warm and soft light as always, he almost thought he was hallucinating.

  My honey, that person's arsenic... It's almost the best interpretation of the scene in front of me.

What surprised Kakashi even more was that he heard the scream of the monster, and he was a little upset and unable to calm his mind. The ordinary villagers in the underground had even blocked their ears, but this one just now had some The nervous little girl was surprisingly calm at this time, with a maturity that did not belong to this age on her immature face.

   "Is it true that as His Excellency Maitreya said, Zi Yuan is a genius witch who is rare in a hundred years?"

  Kakashi felt that it was not just that, when the transparent container was crushed just now, he clearly felt a strange fluctuation.

  Although the "spiritualization technique" is not suitable for his fighting style, his mental strength seems to have been strengthened a lot by using this method to enter and leave the pure land many times.

  So he could clearly perceive that this priestess is very similar to Oshemaru-sama who has cast a fairy art, and just now, her own breath has changed.

   "There seems to be something on this little girl..."

  While he was thinking about it, there was a strange sound of flesh and blood being torn apart on the high platform.

  The monster kappa's mouth was full of blood, and his sharp beak pecked fiercely at Zi Yuan who was close at hand, as if his brain would burst in the next moment and he died on the spot.

  Kakashi reacted very quickly, and shot almost immediately, but there was one person who was faster than him.

  I saw the red stone held up by the little girl's palm vaporized and dissolved at an extremely fast speed. In contrast, the light on her body shone brightly.

  The screams stopped abruptly, and the monster Kappa froze in place, his body gasified and dissolved like ice and snow encountering a scorching sun, dissipating into streaks of white smoke.

   "This is really..."

  Kakashi's movements also stopped, staring at everything in front of him, his eyes widened involuntarily.

  Although I already knew that monsters are different from humans, the way the other party died, the impact of the picture is somewhat beyond the common sense of ninjas.

But at the moment when everyone thought that the exorcism ceremony was over and the tense spirit relaxed, the long tongue that was torn by the Kappa himself suddenly floated up with invisible force and was whipped down like a long whip. Shion, the chief priest of the ceremony.

   At this time, with the power of the red stone exhausted, Ziyuan no longer had the awe-inspiring aura just now, just like a normal little girl, her limbs were weak and she couldn't react in time.

  Kakashi's reaction was also a bit slower because of the impact just now, but fortunately, the distance between the two sides was close enough, and he was still sure of the rescue in time.

  But just like before, a ghostly figure came to Ziyuan first, and grabbed the red tongue.

   Chi Chi Chi Chi...

  With the scalding heat coming from the palm, Orochimaru tightened his grip on the long tongue.

  However, just like the dissipated kappa before, the remaining organs of this monster also turned into a black smoke, as if all the energy had been consumed by that pumping force, but it was just a flashback.

   "Oshemaru-sama, are you alright?" Kakashi blamed himself a little.

  The protection of the witches in the kingdom of ghosts should have been his job.

  Oshemaru looked at the black mark on his palm and shook his head slightly.

   "You need to deal with this."

  At this time, Ziyuan, who had recovered from the sudden change just now, ran over in a small step. She didn't care about the sweat on her head, and hurriedly took out some strange ointment from the witch's pocket.

   "There is no need for that, I really have nothing to do."

  Oshemaru glanced at Shion, and suddenly walked towards the direction where the Kappa disappeared.

  He poked aside the ash-like residue, and found a light blue crystal.

   This is the same as the one on Ziyuan's bracelet, with a very similar aura, except that the red one is only the size of a broad bean, and this one is hardly smaller than a quail egg.

  But with Orochimaru's eyesight, naturally he can not only see the difference in size, he carefully sized up the crystal, his eyes narrowed slightly, "This turned out to be the crystallization of natural energy."

  He was once given a snake scale by the White Snake Immortal, and later handed it over to Pharmacist Dou. That thing is similar to the crystal in his hand now.

  It is just a kind of natural energy of the white snake system that has been digested twice, or it should be said to be an ordinary natural energy.

   "This breath is somewhat similar to the natural energy that I forcibly absorbed when I was practicing breathing."

   While thinking, the little girl's timid voice suddenly came from Dashemaru's ear, "Well, can you give this back to me? It's something left over from exorcising monsters. It's the reward we agreed upon."

   Orochimaru lowered his head slightly, glanced at it, and the small witch immediately lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes.

   It can be seen that she is a little afraid of the breath of Orochimaru, but obviously getting this crystal is a must, so she didn't back down.

  At this time, Ashho, who was the guard, also stepped forward and said solemnly, "Your Excellency Orochimaru, this is one of the rewards for Miko-sama to come and exterminate youkai. Please don't make it difficult for us."

"Ah…"

   Orochimaru chuckled, and threw it over casually.

  The natural energy contained in this crystal is more suitable for a ninja to absorb than that in snake scales in a sense, but it is not enough to make him covet it.

   Without him, the number is too scarce.

  If he had seen this kind of thing before practicing fairy art, he might try to contact natural energy with it, but now it can only be a tasteless one.

  Thinking of this, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly, "Could it be that the priestess of the ghost country is relying on this thing to try to practice that kind of witchcraft?"

  If this is the case, it is not surprising why the witches continue to decline.

  Without the monsters, the priestesses who practice witchcraft by purifying the products obtained from the monsters will naturally disappear with them.

   After all, even a genius of immortality like Yao Shidou, if he hadn't survived the first-generation cell transplantation operation by chance and was exposed to natural energy rashly, he would most likely die miserably.

   "However, the method of repelling monsters is indeed very valuable."

   Orochimaru looked at Shion, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind, and he disappeared in place.

   Seeing Orochimaru leave, Shion was slightly relieved, and hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

   "Master Ziyuan, please put it away."

  Guard Ashho carefully held the light blue spar and handed it over respectfully.

   "Oh, yes... this one is quite big." Ziyuan rummaged through her sleeve pockets for a while, then took out a suitable container and put the crystal in it.

  The spar transformed by the monster is solid, but the energy in it is easily dissipated. If it is not preserved properly, it will easily become a waste product.

  …

   "Monster, is this eliminated?"

  On the roof of a homestay, Naruto smacked his lips with a regretful expression.

  Although he had never seen this scene before, and it could be called wonderful, but it ended too quickly, which made people feel very unsatisfactory.

After complaining a few words casually, he found that Xianglin did not complain like before, but stared blankly at the front, Naruto said in surprise, "What are you looking at, isn't it all over, Master Orochimaru has disappeared .”

   "No, look over there..."

   Xianglin blushed a little, raised her finger and pointed forward, and shouted, "Look at that kid... so cool."

"..." When Naruto heard Xianglin say this, he was immediately unhappy, but when he saw the young man's eyes were calm and his face was mature that didn't match his age, his breathing was slightly stagnant, "This guy is a bit cool .”

   "It's not that one, it's the smaller one."

   Xianglin hurriedly corrected Naruto's misunderstanding.

   "Small guy?" Naruto looked down a little, and then he saw the boy Xiang Lin was pointing at, and couldn't help but groan.

  The small one and the big one are very similar in appearance, and they also have a bit of a cold feeling. They are brothers at first glance.

   But it’s very obvious that the older brother is really cool, while the younger one is just imitating, pretending to be cool from the inside out, what’s the big deal.

  Karin seems to prefer the small set.

   "Xiang Lin, your eyesight is really bad." Naruto said something casually, but what he got was an angry stare, so he had to close his mouth resentfully.

   But looking at that boy, he couldn't help but feel a bit of comparison, and secretly said, "Really, what a stinky fart, I will teach you a lesson one day."

   "..."

   Itachi felt a little hostility, turned his head and glanced in Naruto's direction.

  It doesn’t matter if it’s about himself. After all, as the eldest son of the Uchiha clan leader, this kind of thing is normal, but the hostility towards Sasuke is a bit strange.

  But after seeing the other party's identity, Itachi suddenly realized, "It turned out to be that child."

  He knew the current Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and he even knew that the relationship between his mother and the late previous Jinchuriki seemed to be very good.

   "Brother, is there anything over there?"

   Sasuke looked strangely at Itachi who was suddenly thinking.

   "It's nothing, I just saw a cat." Itachi shook his head, and then continued, "Now the monsters have also been eliminated, let's go home, and soon, mother should prepare dinner."

   "That's right." Sasuke suddenly became excited, and turned his head to put the previous doubts behind him.

  …

  In the Hokage temporary office, Sandai took time to glance at the report just submitted by Orochimaru while dealing with village affairs.

   "Immortal art... What the witches of the ghost country really cast is some kind of art that uses natural energy?"

  Sandai took a puff on his pipe, narrowed his eyes slightly, "Let Orochimaru check on my behalf, it's a party person."

  If it were someone else, even Tsunade might not be able to see any way to do it.

   "However, it's surprising that after youkai are purified, such things can remain."

  The third generation is also quite interested in that spar, but it is just an interest.

  After all, even if she manages to get the means to use crystals from the kingdom of ghosts, the shrine maiden... has no fighting power.

  Although they can be called a natural enemy-like restraint against monsters, the effect against people and ninjas...is very mediocre.

   It can only be said to be an easy-to-use...tool in a certain scene.

   "Purify the filth and purify people's negative emotions. The ability of the witch may also have a certain effect on the box of bliss."

  Three generations slowly let out a puff of smoke, "Oshemaru's speculation does have some truth, so we can't easily let this witch go back."

Although there are not too many chakras in the Bliss Box today, some of the residues in it are still very dangerous, and it is also an unstable bomb for Konoha. If you can deal with this kind of thing, Three generations never want to let go of this opportunity.

   After pondering for a moment, Sandai drafted a letter, called a contact ninja, and ordered, "Send this letter to Your Excellency Miko in the Kingdom of Demons."

  Now Shion is still in Konoha, just some additional matters, and there is no need to be as solemn as before.

   "Yes." Konoha Anbe took the letter and disappeared immediately.

  …

   "What... are we going to be here for a while?"

  In the small building of the embassy, ​​Zi Yuan was shocked when she heard the news, "Didn't you say that this time only monsters will be eliminated?"

   "This is an order from Lord Maitreya. Konoha was very satisfied with your previous performance, so they will add some commissions."

  Guard Suho paused for a moment and asked, "You hate Konoha, don't you want to live here for a while?"

   "Not really."

  Zi Yuan sat on the chair and leaned back, "It's just that there are a lot of people here, and they are not as familiar as the Kingdom of Ghosts."

"I see."

  Guard Ashiho immediately understood that this kind of rejection was only due to children's fear of strangers, so he said, "Actually, besides many people, there are many delicious and fun things here. We can try them all after work."

   "Is that so..." Zi Yuan stood up from the chair and said with a smile, "That's great."
