Crack!

Many pale blue arcs of electricity swirled around Qing Si, coalescing into spheres.

This is "Lightning Release: Lightning Ball".

Kiyoshi expects to be able to fully master this ninjutsu by tomorrow.

……

It wasn't until evening that Kiyoshi got up and went to the daimyo of the Land of Demons.

And many believers who came here because of its reputation gathered here.

The ninja world has never lacked people who believe in ghosts and gods.

The Land of Demons, a completely unfamiliar country, only intensifies the mystery surrounding the priestess.

In addition, the shrine maiden's sacred and ethereal beauty leaves a deep impression at first glance.

So the word spread, and more and more people came to find the witch and pray for blessings.

Most people here want to know when the war will finally end.

Will their families be safe?

The more chaotic and war-torn the times, the more people will believe in ghosts and gods.

When Qing Si arrived, a sharp-eyed guard spotted him and immediately opened a special passage for him.

"Hey, hey, hey, how come this guy got in there?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, can't you see it's a ninja master?"

"So what if he's a ninja? My brother's a ninja too, a Chunin at that!"

Discussions broke out in the crowd.

A cocky-looking teenager stood defiantly in the crowd.

"Illiterate? That's the Uchiha clan crest."

The villagers nearby were startled by this guy.

"Uchiha?"

The boy's imposing manner immediately weakened.

"That's Uchiha Kiyoshi. If he hears this, you're doomed."

Mitarashi Anko was also squeezing through the crowd, and she spoke to the boy with an expression of anticipation.

"Seiji...!"

The boy quickly made his escape, intending to leave Konoha to avoid trouble for a while.

Even these commoners had heard of Uchiha Kiyoshi's deeds to some extent.

Those are people they can't afford to offend.

"coward."

Mitarashi Anko pursed her lips.

"Isn't that right? Mute it."

"Yes."

The gentle and kind-hearted Shizune did not refute Mitarashi Anko.

She was able to come here because Mitarashi Anko dragged her along.

"Why was Kiyoshi allowed to go in directly?"

Mitarashi Anko then asked another question.

"Didn't they say that Kiyoshi went to the Land of Demons on a mission?"

Silent lane.

Kiyoshi's information was not a secret to the Konoha leadership.

Tsunade also knew a lot of information about Kiyoshi.

Shizune learned a lot about Kiyoshi from Tsunade.

"Is there still such a thing?"

Mitarashi Anko was taken aback.

"I haven't even met the shrine maiden yet, and Kiyoshi beat me to it."

Mitarashi Anko crossed her arms over her chest, her nascent heart fluttering slightly.

"I need to find some time to ask how my curse mark is going."

Mitarashi Azuko's secret passage.

It is said that the cursed seal can greatly enhance her strength, which has made Mitarashi Anko eager to try it out.

Orochimaru-sensei has been nowhere to be found lately, he seems to be very busy.

She hadn't seen it in a long time.

While the two women were whispering to each other, Kiyoshi had already walked out of the specially opened passage and entered the house.

This is a courtyard converted from a temple.

The front is a normal religious site, while the back is a residential area.

Kiyoshi guessed that Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others made this arrangement because they considered that the daimyo of the Land of Demons would be taking refuge here for several months, and also because of the special nature of the priestess.

"Your Highness the Daimyo, Your Highness the Miko."

Qingsi spoke.

Since the war began, Kiyoshi has rarely visited the Land of Demons except when necessary.

He sized up the priestess.

The shrine maiden was still dressed in her classic attire.

Chihaya's white dress concealed her curvaceous figure, revealing only her fair and delicate hands.

A golden crown was placed on her head, and her hair, with a few strands of purple, cascaded down her back.

Her features and brows gave off an ethereal and sacred feeling, as if one were facing not a human, but a pure woman communicating with the divine.

This... is exactly the demeanor a shrine maiden should have.

Miroku's transcendent status in the Land of Demons made his aura even more pronounced.

"This is the medicine I prepared for His Highness the Daimyo."

Qing Si took out a small bottle of medicine.

It contained ten blue pills, each the size of a fingernail, which were used to effectively cleanse the body of the Daimyo of the Land of Demons.

Miroku glanced at Kiyoshi with a complicated expression, then took the medicine bottle and fed one to the daimyo of the Oni Kingdom.

The old daimyo of the Land of Demons, with his pale, wrinkled face, now had a hint of life in him.

He looked much better.

"Kiyoshi-kun, when will I finally get better?"

The daimyo of the Land of Demons spoke.

He harbored ambitions, which is why he was bewitched by demons.

Unfortunately, with his current physical condition, he can't do anything.

"Not long after, I heard that His Highness the Daimyo has also annexed the Land of Swamp and a ring of surrounding countries?"

Kiyoshi said.

The countries near the Land of Demons are all much the same as the Land of Demons, lacking a systematic ninja community.

Those ninjas from the Land of Demons were trained by Yomi.

"It wasn't really an annexation; it was just a matter of fighting and chaos, and people banding together for mutual support."

The old daimyo of the Land of Demons had his face scrunched up like a chrysanthemum.

This person cannot do anything to the priestess they admire.

The only places where one can derive pleasure are power and vast territories.

"Without Kiyoshi-kun, I should have died long ago."

"This is what I should do."

Qingsi said calmly.

The daimyo of the Land of Demons now feels that life is peaceful, but it's only because Miroku is carrying the burden behind him.

"Please allow me and the priestess to have a brief conversation, Your Highness. I have some questions to ask about the priestess's sealing techniques and the spirits, which will be helpful for Your Highness's illness."

"Okay, let's go."

The daimyo of the Land of Demons nodded.

He had previously suspected Kiyoshi of having frequent secret meetings with shrine maidens.

Without Kiyoshi's medicine, he would have died long ago.

This also allowed the Daimyo of the Land of Demons to suppress his various doubts.

"The chakra you gave me last time is almost used up, and we need to replenish it."

Kiyoshi threw out his ninja sword.

The red stone inlaid on the blade's chin is part of the ritual implement given to Maitreya by him, which was later disassembled and reused by Qing Si.

"How come you still have traces of demonic energy on you?"

Miroku took Kiyoshi's ninja sword and, as he channeled his own chakra into it, suddenly noticed a faint dark purple chakra emanating from Kiyoshi's body.

"And why has your chakra become so strange?"

Maitreya frowned.

She sensed a shared origin from Kiyoshi's chakra.

The lineage of priestesses holds a transcendent position in the Land of Demons, having contended with demons for a thousand years; they must have some skills.

Their bloodline is passed down through generations, and their chakra is pink, unlike the blue of ordinary people.

The pink shrine maiden chakra has a strong sealing effect on these monsters and chakra creatures.

Therefore, the priestess was able to successfully control the crisis of the demons time and time again.

The cycle that had lasted for a thousand years only ended with the arrival of Kiyoshi.

Chapter 300 The Shrine Maiden: Kushina's Future True Love is Kiyoshi

"Your Highness, you should understand that demons cannot be destroyed."

Qingsi said calmly.

At the end of the movie, it seems that Naruto and Shion joined forces to defeat the demon, thus achieving a perfect ending.

In reality, Naruto didn't change anything. The existence of the demons and the generational inheritance of the priestess's sacrifice remained the same.

The demons have simply fallen into another period of silence. When the unconscious negative emotions of humans give birth to demons once again, the priestess will begin the cycle of reincarnation again.

Kiyoshi's method of eliminating only the souls of the demons, and using their physical bodies as weapons, will instead suppress the emergence of new demons.

In particular, Qing Si constantly modified the White Snake, using it as a transit point for refining the power of demons.

The white snake's life level is undergoing a transformation, shifting towards "zero tail" and "wraith".

One day, it might just become a spirit beast that controls negative emotions, replacing the position of the demon.

"As for my chakra, perhaps my ancestors also had a lineage of priestesses."

Qing Si casually remarked.
