I, Yu Uchiha, am devoted to cultivating immortality

Uchiha Yu flew straight from the sky to here. He knew very well that the straight-line distance from here to the shrine in the Country of Demons was 700 to 800 kilometers.

The terrain of the Swamp Country is complex, and there are no straight roads on the ground. After going around and around, the actual marching distance exceeded 1,200 kilometers.

Even if the huge army of terracotta warriors and horses were traveling around the clock, it would take at least ten days to reach their destination.

It would take at most five days for the Konoha ninja who was left behind by Uchiha Yu to rush to the Kingdom of Demons.

The time required for the closest Sunagakure ninja should be similar, and the furthest Iwagakure ninja would not take more than eight days.

The miko's timing was perfect.

Not only did the miko perform wonderfully, but the government of the Kingdom of Ghosts also performed wonderfully.

When Uchiha Yu flew all the way over, he saw the people who were preparing to move, the storage of materials in the temporary shelters on the mountain, the delivery of information to various places, the gathering of people, etc., and the work also started just right.

If the monsters can be successfully sealed, the people of the Kingdom of Ghosts only need to hide for fifteen days, and everything will be over, and this year's spring planting will not be delayed at all.

It is indeed an activity that has lasted for thousands of years, and all the processes are familiar and flowing.

But the obedience and calmness shown by the people of the Ghost Country also made Uchiha Yuu very fond of them.

The Kingdom of Ghosts is a very nice place.

And the thread of faith extending from every citizen aroused Uchiha Yu's greed, and he wanted this fortune.

You know, the country of ghosts should believe in witches devoutly, but their faith has not converged on the witches, and the demons and Huangquan we just saw did not.

Where have all these stable beliefs gone?

It seems that the answer still needs to be asked from the witch.

Uchiha Yu narrowed his eyes. If he raised this question, he would be telling Miroku that he knew the power of faith.

Simply drag Maitreya into the divine court. In this way, the identity you show to Maitreya will be confirmed, and you will play the role of the favored one of His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven.

I believe in myself and I care about myself.

Nothing wrong.

Miroku was made to think that she was not seeking refuge with Yuu Uchiha, but a great and ancient god. She must be much more loyal and willing to tell the whereabouts of her faith openly.

And, it’s so much fun to do.

The rumbling footsteps became louder and louder. When the first terracotta warriors and horses to set off had traveled ten kilometers, at least half of the terracotta warriors and horses were still waiting to set off.

More than two hours had passed, and Uchiha Itachi felt that he had completely mastered all the structures of the terracotta warriors and horses, so he started to take action.

Whether it is terracotta warriors or earth warriors, they are all a combination of earth escape chakra and earth elements. The surface is hardened by a ninjutsu structure similar to earth spears.

And the best way to deal with such large-scale puppets is of course...

Wood escape·The birth of the tree world

The earth made a new roar, instantly disrupting the pace of the terracotta warriors and horses.

The ground rolled up and down like ocean waves, and the neatly arranged terracotta warriors and horses were like small boats hit by wild waves, instantly turning into a topsy-turvy gourd.

As the waves of the earth reached their peak, thick tree trunks and roots broke out of the ground. With the sound of creaking and twisting wood, the towering trees stretched their bodies and rose upwards.

New branches and green leaves grew on the thick trunks, and flexible roots grew on the rough roots.

The branches and roots attacked from above and below, launching a fierce attack on the terracotta warriors and horses.

Uchiha Yuu was surprised to find that although the terracotta warriors and horses were helpless in the face of Juhai's attack, they were actually fighting on their own and resisted to the best of their ability.

Unfortunately, Uchiha Yuu's tree world driven by natural energy is not comparable to the evil and loose chakra of the sprite.

The resistance of the terracotta warriors was in vain. After being caught by the roots and branches of the tree, the chakra in them was quickly drained, and then with a slight twist, it turned into broken clods of soil.

The terracotta warriors and horses are not only hard, but also have the ability to resurrect and regenerate. Unfortunately, all abilities require chakra support to function properly.

Mudun absorbed the characteristics of chakra and perfectly restrained the terracotta warriors and horses. All terracotta warriors and horses strangled by Mudun could no longer be restarted.

The large-scale earthen warriors and terracotta warriors and horses were completely covered by the even larger sea of ​​trees. They were defeated in an instant, and the monsters were exposed in front of Uchiha Yuu's eyes.

Yes, the Huang Quan we saw before was a dummy, disguised as an earthen figurine.

Instead, the real underworld was disguised as the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, hidden among the vast Terracotta Warriors and Horses, more than 300 meters away from the dummy.

This is a very cunning underworld.

Judging from his chubby body shape, this time Huang Quan is inhabiting the businessman, and the inheritance gang has promoted the businessman's cunning personality.

Maybe the reason why Maitreya's seal failed in history was because this guy was cunning enough.

As the army of terracotta warriors and horses collapsed, the monster's strength declined severely. Huang Quan let out a shrill howl. He was caught by the layers of trees and his limbs were easily torn off.

Until the defeat, he did not know where the enemy was.

At this time, the demon began to actively devour Huang Quan, and the chubby Huang Quan quickly shriveled up, and the fat in his belly was sucked clean in the blink of an eye.

Purple-black evil chakra emerged from the cracks in the torn skin.

The strange thing is that these chakras cannot be absorbed by Mu Dun. The chakra is mixed with a lot of negative emotions, and it even tries to penetrate Mu Dun's creations and reversely control these fine woods.

The demon naturally failed.

Then it turned to infect the ground, transforming a large amount of soil and rocks into its own body, and a huge clay giant rose from the forest sea.

Just when it pushed down the surrounding trees and roared in the sky, a bolt of white light flashed through, and the clay giant's head was chopped off.

It was Miwa Masayo who saw the right moment and used his immortal technique and pure white claws to achieve great success.

However, Uchiha Yuu did not stop. He clapped his hands together and made a clear sound of applause.

Wood Release·Treant Technique

The big trees in the forest began to tangle and intertwined together, forming an equally huge tree man.

Different from Senju Hashirama's wooden man, the tree man developed by Uchiha Yuu himself is full of vitality. The whole body is covered with thick bark, and the head and back are covered with leaves. It is lush and full of vitality.

The tree man clenched his mountain-sized fist and hit the newly regenerated clay giant hard on the head with the wind and thunder.

With this punch, the clay giant's head was gone, and even half of its body was smashed to pieces.

Wood Release·The Art of Cutting

With the size of the tree man, the cutting technique performed by its right hand was equally terrifying in size. Hundreds of wooden thorns so thick that ten people could hug them erupted from the clay giant's body.

The giant wooden thorns naturally bifurcated, dismantling the huge clay giant layer by layer, and peeling the monsters out of it.

After all this trouble, Uchiha Yu also had enough time to enter the world of Zifu with two purposes, sat on the golden dragon chair, and opened a vortex of divine power with the help of his natural connection with himself.

Then a small octopus with a head full of holes was thrown out and landed on the demon's purple-black chakra.

The monster has no reason, and all its actions are based on instinct. All its attention is on the giant tree man, and it has not noticed the tiny octopus Xiaoke at all.

But when Xiao Ke merged into the purple-black chakra, it became excited instantly.

Monsters are actually a collection of negative emotions. Such emotions are Xiaoke's favorite food, even more suitable for it than the power of faith.

Just like the mouse entered the rice vat and Sun Wukong entered the peach orchard, Xiao Ke could not restrain his greed.

It opened its parrot beak and swallowed the essence of the monster at all costs.

Now the demon knew it was powerful, and it began to struggle wildly, deforming and twisting, trying to squeeze out the enemies integrated into its body, and could no longer care about the tree man in front of it.

Uchiha Yu took the opportunity to control the tree man to beat him hard, absorbing the completely dispersed chakra, steadily weakening the monster.

Faced with internal and external attacks, the monsters are left with only instinct to focus on one thing and not the other, unable to deal with it at all.

Soon, the essence of the sprites that Xiao Ke swallowed exceeded 10%. Such a large amount could not be digested at all, causing the cave octopus Xiao Ke and the sprites to temporarily merge together.

And this is the opportunity Uchiha Yu needs.

The Emperor of Heaven on the golden dragon chair stretched out his hand, pinched it gently, grabbed Xiao Ke, who had been living in Zi Mansion for a long time, and took him back to the world of Zi Mansion.

In an instant, the monster that merged with Xiao Ke was affected by the law of cause and effect. Its life essence and spiritual essence were extracted from the massive chakra, and it was dragged towards the world of Zi Mansion seemingly slowly but really quickly.

The collapsed chakra was naturally absorbed by the forest sea, but the negative emotions that could not be cleared away were also integrated into the big tree, infecting the trunk into purple-black.

Uchiha Yu noticed the changes in Jukai, and after his attempt to clean it failed, he simply cut off the connection with ninjutsu and allowed Jukai to develop freely.

There was no one around anyway.

The little energy left by the monster can only mutate in the woods, which is not enough to expand the territory.

The sea of ​​trees has indeed mutated. All the leaves have fallen off, the bark is black and purple, the trunks are twisted and knotted, and they are covered with strange tree tumors.

Within a dozen kilometers, it is always shrouded in thick gray fog, and there is no sunshine all year round.

Once you enter it, you will feel strong mental depression, and what is even more frightening is that you will also have various hallucinations.

Although these intruders will walk out inexplicably, they will continue to have nightmares and will inevitably become seriously ill after more than ten days.

The Forest of Monsters has become a forbidden area in the Swamp Kingdom.

When Uchiha Yuu's Purple Mansion world swallowed the monsters in one gulp, the miko who was sitting in the hall of the shrine hundreds of kilometers away suddenly felt something in her heart.

She seemed to have entered a mysterious world, a vast and boundless world, with the sun hanging high in the sky, the water shining brightly, and the majestic buildings above the white clouds exuding a sacred aura.

Maitreya suddenly understood that this was what the monster saw.

It somehow entered a mysterious world, and what it saw and heard turned into vague impressions, which were transmitted to itself through the mysterious connection of symbiosis.

This is not what Ninjutsu can do, nor is it what Sealing Technique can do.

The Uchiha who possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan actually managed to get rid of the demons, and somehow managed to get them away from the ninja world.

Maitreya's tears suddenly flowed down, and she knew she didn't have to die.

The monsters were completely eliminated.

There is no need to think about sealing monsters anymore, not even her daughter.

After crying silently for a while, the miko Miroku was suddenly shocked when she remembered that she had forgotten Uchiha Yuu's name.

She quickly called the attendant miko in, found the mission letter and other documents, checked them carefully, and firmly remembered the name in her heart.

Then she ordered: "Pass the order, if you see Lord Uchiha Yu returning, notify me immediately, and I will go to greet him personally."

The attendant miko was horrified, and raised her head to look at Maitreya in horror, only to see the miko-sama smiling.

Miroku explained happily: "Master Yuu Uchiha, he has solved the demon, and our crisis has been resolved."

The attendant miko was completely stunned. This news went against her common sense, but she knew that the miko would not lie, and she was instantly ecstatic.

"Yes! I understand, Miko-sama! I will inform everyone right now!"

Miko Maitreya stretched out her hand to stop the attendant, and added: "By the way, remember to inform Priest Kanzaki Himetsuki. If any other ninjas come, he will receive them and explain them."

She said quietly: "I won't see them anymore."

The attendant miko didn't think much, she agreed and ran away quickly.

Soon, the entire shrine was in a state of carnival, and even though it was already late at night, the cheers continued.

In the midst of the joy, Priest Kanzaki Jiyue hurried over to ask for a meeting. His face showed both excitement and deep worry.

After meeting the miko Maitreya, the priest asked: "Miroku-sama, are you really not going to see other ninjas anymore?"

Maitreya nodded and replied: "Gone."

The priest said worriedly: "But in this way, we will offend the three major ninja villages. When the war in the ninja world subsides, they will be detrimental to our country of ghosts."

The miko sneered: "Priest Kanzaki Jiyue, how old are you?"

The priest heard the witch's dissatisfaction. He quickly fell to the ground and respectfully replied: "I am already 63 years old."

Maitreya's tone became very cold and he scolded unceremoniously: "63 years old is not young at all. Why do you have the same thoughts in your head as a three-year-old child?"

Dense beads of sweat immediately appeared on the priest's forehead. He did not dare to raise his head and said stumblingly: "Please, please teach me a lesson!"

Maitreya stood up, walked in front of the priest, looked down at him, and said, "When I still have the power I have now, when monsters still threaten the entire Kingdom of Ghosts from time to time, what if I offend these ninjas?"

"Are those ninjas capable of assassinating or defeating me? Of course not, because they can't defeat me."

"Will their shadows be determined to attack our country of ghosts? No, because they will suffer a loss against the monsters."

"Sprites are the biggest threat to the Kingdom of Ghosts, and they are also the biggest protectors of the Kingdom of Ghosts."

Maitreya, the witch, picked up the folding fan, gently tapped the priest's shoulder, and whispered: "This time the monster was not sealed, but completely eliminated."

The priest suddenly raised his head, the expression on his face was filled with surprise and strangeness.

He was speechless, but didn't know what to say.

"Yes, our biggest threat and biggest protector is gone." The witch turned around and walked back to her seat, sitting down lazily.

She raised her head, looked at the painted beams above the hall, and said helplessly: "So we need a new protector."

“When you seek protection from others, you have to position yourself accordingly.”

"In this regard, the most taboo thing is probably not being firm and half-hearted, right?"

Priest Kanzaki Jiyue still found it hard to agree. He protested tremblingly: "No, it shouldn't be like this. There will be many helpers when we are in good ways, but there will be little help when we are in bad ways. To protect ourselves, we should make more friends instead of..."

Maitreya's face suddenly turned as cold as ice, and he waved his hand to sweep out a whirlwind, knocking away Priest Kanzaki Himetsuki.

The old man's body spun and flew to the door. He fell with a loud thud, and his tall hat rolled far into the yard.

The witch ordered in a cold voice: "Take him down and lock him up!"

A few guards picked up the old man and dragged him away. What awaited the old man would be a long prison life or a pleasant death.

Maitreya, the shrine maiden, is the true ruler of the country. She is the trinity of politics, religion, and military. At a critical moment when the country of ghosts is about to undergo a major transformation, she does not allow any opposition to arise.

"Priest Takashima Shigenori, come and see me."

The miko's order echoed throughout the shrine. She gave the order directly and openly, rather than through the attendant miko.

In this direct way, the witch's determination and authority were demonstrated to everyone.

Then another middle-aged priest appeared in front of her.

Maitreya's voice still echoed over the entire shrine: "Kanzaki Himetsu is so confused, he dares to oppose my decision, so he is no longer the chief priest, and he is no longer a priest!"

"Priest Takashima Shigenori, I appoint you as the chief priest to take over all the work of the Kingdom of Demons. The work of receiving ninjas from other countries is your highest priority task. Do you understand?"

"I understand, thank you for your trust!"

After the Takashima Shigenori priest left with a face full of fear but contentment, Maitreya lay back a little discouraged and murmured: "I hope my choice is not wrong, and I hope the future I see will not be the same again." Something has changed.”

"Oh? What choice did you make?"

"Also, what kind of future do you see?"

Yu Uchiha suddenly appeared in the hall with Masayo Miwa. Apparently, he left the mark of the Flying Thunder God before he left, so he could return so quickly.

Miroku was stunned for a moment after hearing this. After a few seconds, she didn't know what future she saw. A smile spread across her face. Gulu turned over and stood up, and then paid homage to Uchiha Yuu again.

"I made the choice to seek refuge with you, and decided to take the entire Kingdom of Ghosts with me to seek refuge with you!"

"Master Yuu Uchiha!"

Uchiha Yu nodded and said with satisfaction: "A very wise choice."

"But, I refuse."

When the witch was dumbfounded, he smiled and said, "Because there is a great being who will protect you and the Kingdom of Ghosts."

Maitreya's expression changed greatly, and he said in shock: "Who are you talking about?"

Before he finished speaking, Maitreya felt his eyes blurred, and the next moment, the environment in front of him turned into a magnificent hall.
