Naruto: Uzumaki Menma walks out of the infinite moon reading - Chapter 248

c243 “Wu” human fairy art system

“nothing.”

Kakashi came back to his senses, waved his hand and said, “The most important thing is to quickly go to the Kingdom of Demons to meet the miko.”

Several people nodded, and then were about to use the teleportation technique to leave.

Suddenly, a bright blue light lit up, and the six Kakashi people all walked over.

I saw several figures appearing in the jungle opposite. Judging from their clothing, they seemed to be Kumogakure’s ninjas.

“Did the miko even ask Kumogakure to help?”

After pondering for a moment, Kakashi said: “We can cooperate with them to break through the siege of the stone statue soldiers and enter the hinterland of the Ghost Country.”

The current major enemies are monsters and the Underworld Sect, so in this crisis situation, they are not averse to cooperating with Kumogakure.

So, everyone thought for a moment and nodded in agreement with Kakashi’s proposal.

Kakashi and Yamato, who were responsible for the breakthrough, stood at the front of the team, with three students from Neji in the middle, and Metkai at the back.

However, Neji insisted on taking the rear position with Yamato.

Knowing Neji’s strength, Kai didn’t waste any words and nodded decisively in agreement.

Squeak! !

Amidst a sharp chirping sound like a bird’s cry, Kakashi’s palm was wrapped in purple lightning.

“Thunder Release Chidori!”

In an instant, Kakashi’s figure burst into the array of stone soldiers like a spear flashing with lightning.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

In a series of roars, several stone soldiers fell to the ground one after another, and Kakashi, bathed in purple electric light, tore through the queue of stone soldiers.

The super-speed assault ability of Thunder Release was fully demonstrated by Kakashi.

Hyuga Neji, who was at the end of the team, used his Byakugan and Soft Fist with all his strength. The stone statue soldiers’ originally stiff and slow attacks were in his eyes no longer lethal in slow motion.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Through close combat, Hyuga Neji keenly discovered that the chakra aura in these stone soldiers was exactly the same.

“Does all this chakra come from that monster?”

Unknowingly, some evil and violent thoughts arose in Neji’s heart.

“Wood Release·Tree Boundary Wall!”

In an instant, a shield formed by multiple wooden vines grew rapidly from the ground, protecting the tunnel that Kakashi forcibly broke through, and established a temporary safe passage among the array of stone statue soldiers.

Since it didn’t take much effort, a few people broke through the encirclement of the stone statue soldiers and entered the hinterland of the Ghost Country safely.

At the same time, two people from the Cloud Hidden Team in the distance also formed seals together.

“Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!”

The chakra in the body quickly gathered in the throat, turning into turbulent water and spitting it forward from the mouth.

Behind the two of them, a ninja with black skin and white hair, and tattoos of “Thunder” and “Water” engraved on his left and right shoulders, followed closely behind and quickly formed seals with his hands.

“Thunder Release·Grateful Wave!”

The blue thunder and lightning followed the water flow and turned into electric current and rushed towards the stone soldiers.

The stone soldiers were shattered one after another, further tearing apart the array of stone soldiers.

After all the stone soldiers here were cleared, the fluctuations and sounds of the battle gradually dissipated.

Konoha and Kumogakure looked at each other.

“Konoha’s number one technician, copy ninja, Hatake Kakashi?”

“Kumogakure Murakujonin, the guardian of the Fourth Raikage, Darui?”

The two white-haired men looked at each other with dead eyes open, and they both saw the meaning in each other’s eyes.

–So complicated.

“snort!”

The Kumo ninja looked at Neji and the others and said in a strange tone: “Is there no one left in Konoha? You actually sent three brats to a place like this.”

The average age of the third shift that Metkai was responsible for was only twelve years old.

So in terms of stature, he was indeed a head shorter than those two miscellaneous Kumo ninjas.

“Two wastes. For a task of this level, the three of us are enough.”

Hyuga Neji glanced at them and replied in a cold tone: “Also, you’d better be careful. If something happens during the mission, it’s not an accident to die here.”

Normally, if he was provoked, he might not bother to pay attention.

However, under the influence of that chakra, he couldn’t hold back for a while when faced with Kumogakure, who had invaded Hinata.

Yun Ren’s face suddenly darkened.

“Kid, do you want to die?”

“If you can do it, you can try it. It’s just a good time to settle the old and new grudges together!”

Facing this kind of bastard chuunin, Hyuga Neji showed no fear at all, and his murderous intent was fully revealed.

Feeling the cold killing intent, the two Cloud Ninjas also narrowed their eyes and put their hands on the short swords at their waists.

As for the people on Konoha’s side, Tiantian and Xiao Li were in fighting postures, and they were also on guard.

“Want a fight? How youthful!”

Kai grinned and clenched his fists, looking like he was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.

In an instant, the two sides became very tense.

“Ah, it’s really troublesome.”

Even so, Kakashi still did not stop Neji and the others.

He knew exactly why the Kumogakure ninja was provoking.

After all, Kumogakure and his group of warring factions have been making moves recently, and I heard that they are still robbing and collecting the secrets of other forces and countries.

The more this happens, the less you can retreat.

They represent Konoha now.

“We are really sorry for the trouble.”

Darui scratched his head and said with a lazy expression: “Everyone, now is not the time to quarrel. The monsters are already approaching here.”

Both sides know very well that when the monster is coming, internal strife is not a wise choice.

With Darui’s steps in sight, Kakashi and others descended down the slope, each taking a step back to maintain temporary peace.

Everyone came to a high place and looked at the towering shrine in the distance.

The shrine is currently shrouded in a purple barrier. The surrounding stone soldiers seem to be unable to enter the barrier and can only surround the shrine layer by layer.

Seeing this, Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief.

“It seems that the shrine has not been captured yet, and the miko should be safe now.”

Darui slumped his shoulders and asked: “But, there are so many stone soldiers outside, how are we going to get in?”

Kakashi turned his head and looked at Neji behind him: “Neji, can you find a way to enter the shrine?”

Neji had already opened his Byakugan, shook his head and said: “The shrine has been completely surrounded by those stone soldiers, leaving no gaps or blind spots.”

Hearing this, Metkai smiled nonchalantly and said, “Haha, it seems I can only force my way in!”

However, everyone in Konoha and Kumogakure knew that breaking through was obviously not an easy task.

They have already dealt with these stone soldiers.

Although the movements of the stone soldiers are extremely clumsy and slow, once they form a formation, they will be very difficult to deal with.

However, everyone who was thinking didn’t notice Neji’s slightly weird expression and eyes.

………………

The sky was getting dark, and the sunset dyed the western horizon red. It was an extremely beautiful dusk.

At the same time, in the barrier where everyone is watching.

“Is this the Witch Goddess Shrine in the Kingdom of Ghosts?”

A red torii gate stands in front of the shrine, with a red bird perched on it.

Menma passed through the red torii gate and walked along the mountain path.

At the top of the mountain path is the shrine where the shrine maiden from the land of ghosts lives.

Huge buildings were erected on huge platforms.

It is more like a palace than a shrine.

From this height, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Ghost Country.

After all, it is the residence of the miko from the Kingdom of Demons, so it is normal to have such a majestic palace.

However, given the highest status of a miko, she should be protected by maids and guards.

There is really a lack of people here. There is not a single person in front of the empty shrine, and the maids and guards have disappeared.

The air here is clean and clear, giving people a wonderful feeling that can wash away the dirt in the soul.

However, in this clean and clear air, there is still a bit of biting chill.

It’s not a cold caused by weather changes, but something more complete and profound.

Judging from the wide open door of the shrine…

“Looks like he’s waiting for me.”

Menma smiled with interest and continued walking up the steps on the mountain path.

After crossing the long steps, we finally arrived at the shrine.

Walking along the long corridor of the shrine, the trees in the courtyard complement the dusk.

The atmosphere in the shrine was very quiet, as if separated from the chaos outside, which made Menma feel comfortable.

“Is this the power of a miko?”

Menma thought secretly in his heart: “It is completely opposite to the power of the demon.”

The powers of monsters and witches are inexplicably similar.

However, the properties displayed are completely opposite.

If it is the power of monsters, it is like all the dark and dirty parts of human hearts.

The power of the witch gives people a feeling of being supreme and inviolable.

Comfort, tranquility, nature, stability…

The reason why he could feel this change should be due to the influence of the witch’s power.

This made Menma even more curious about the power of the miko.

He came to the main hall and the door was open.

In the empty main hall, a girl wearing a luxurious miko costume was kneeling on a high platform.

Beside her, there was a slightly illusory figure of a woman.

Although the faces of the two people could not be seen clearly because of the curtain.

But compared to the girl with an ordinary temperament, that woman gave Menma an ethereal and ethereal feeling.

Menma even felt that the person looking at him was not a flesh-and-blood human being, but some other special creature, with no “human” smell on his body at all.

“First meeting, Uzumaki Menma-san.”

The woman’s voice broke the silence in the main hall.

Menma sat cross-legged on the mat in front of the high platform, opened his mind’s eyes for perception, and frowned subconsciously.

“My name is Miroku and this is my daughter Shion.”

Miroku said softly and calmly: “Mr. Menma should be able to sense it, right?”

Menma nodded and asked with interest: “Is there really no problem in transferring power to the next generation, Lord Miroku?”

Miroku seemed to be in a stable state at this time, but Menma could sense her weakness.

On the contrary, Shion’s aura next to her is getting stronger and stronger, and Maitreya’s power is transferring to him.

Now, the critical point should have been reached.

Although he didn’t know the specific reason, Menma was convinced that miko inherited mysterious power, which was completely different from the ninja system.

The historical origin of the country of Oni may be traced back to the era of Kaguya.

The loosening of the demon’s seal should also be due to the transfer of the witch’s power.

“It doesn’t matter, this is the fate of a miko, and it is also the responsibility that a miko must bear.”

Miroku said calmly: “Even if I am gone, Shion will become a shrine maiden, and the demons will not be able to break the seal.”

There was no so-called sadness in her tone, and she seemed to be indifferent to her own death.

“Is it the so-called fate again?”

Menma touched his chin and said expressionlessly: “This kind of inexplicable thing is what the old toad likes the most. I didn’t expect that you shrine maidens also like it.”

Compared to the indifference of the living slug who sees through everything in the world, Miroku seems to have seen too many facts that cannot be changed, and finally accepted his future and death calmly.

Because the power passed down from generation to generation by the shrine maidens can see the fate of human death.

They are both respected and feared by people.

To be precise, the shrine maidens should be the split of the kind side of human beings.

But Menma doesn’t like this feeling.

“Since you can see death.”

Menma raised his eyebrows and said calmly: “Then, can the shrine maiden see my death?”

“Yes, I did.”

Miroku said bluntly: “But I only got your appearance and information. When I wanted to continue watching, the picture was already blurred and blocked by a red moon.”

“Then, my power was completely exhausted, and it also affected the seal of the ghost.”

Miroku himself was actually very confused.

In the past, when the “prophecy” was made, the picture never became blurred, and at most it ended directly.

However, the “prophecy” that worked every time was rubbed on Menma.

“Really?”

Menma raised the corner of his mouth and said jokingly: “Maybe I will never die?”

The ability of the shrine maiden…seems quite interesting.

“Maybe.”

Miroku’s smile remained unchanged, and he did not comment on Menma’s words: “Someone is helping the ghost. The ghost may escape at the moment I die.”

“I asked you to come here at this moment, hoping that you can protect Shion and prevent the ghost from escaping and causing trouble to the ninja world.”

This is not a good thing for Menma.

So, he stopped talking nonsense and asked directly: “What can I get?”

“…The submission of the ghost country and the inheritance of the shrine maiden.”

“The inheritance of the shrine maiden?”

“It is the inheritance of the immortal art you want to get. It is the power of witchcraft passed down from ancient times.”

Miroku sat there, and the scroll in his hand floated up and fell into Menma’s hands.

Menma opened the scroll and scanned it calmly. After reading it, a rare strange look appeared on his face.

“Three types of ancient witchcraft?”

God-proof witchcraft, using various techniques to seal the target’s body or soul.

God-praying witchcraft uses means of praying such as sacrifice or flattery to pray for the gods to bless and avoid disasters.

God-judgment witchcraft, which is the so-called precognitive ability, can predict the will of heaven and what will happen.

Is this the fairy art inherited by the witch?

“In ancient times, at that time, the goddess of Mao had not yet descended.”

Maitreya explained: “Due to the lack of mastery and understanding of nature, people cannot understand natural disasters and phenomena such as lightning, thunder, solar and lunar eclipses, landslides and floods.”

“So they all attributed it to the control of gods, and then they revered nature and believed that all things have spirits.”

“From this, the worship of nature and primitive witchcraft were derived, hoping to master the power to control nature through certain rituals and methods.”

“Later, because of its extremely harsh training conditions and the spread of more popular chakras, this power called witchcraft by humans gradually disappeared.”
