"Ah!"
Miroku suddenly opened her eyes in the darkness, her bitten cherry lips abruptly parting, releasing a string of panicked breaths.
After a long period of panting, the nightmare she had experienced still left her shaken.
"This…"
Miroku wiped away the fine sweat from her forehead. Prophecies cannot be changed, the only way is to stay away…
…
Late at night
The daimyo's residence
"How much longer until we can conquer the Five Great Countries?"
In a room occupied only by the daimyo of the Land of Demons, he suddenly spoke.
"Heh heh heh, can't hold back any longer? First, seize the Uchiha clan's Kekkei genkai. Combined with my power, they can be transford into excellent pawns, which will help our plan."
Moryo's aged, raspy voice emanated from within the Land of Demons' daimyo.
Ordinary people can be greatly strengthened through modification, and the sa goes for ninjas with Kekkei genkais, only they will beco even stronger.
His Ghost Army is powerful, but unfortunately, the stone soldiers were all inanimate objects, not as convenient as using living people.
"Leave only the two Uchihas, kill the other Konoha ninjas, and fra Sunagakure, letting these ninjas fight among themselves." Moryo enticed.
He wanted to provoke conflict between Sunagakure and Konoha.
"Such thods are too drastic."
The Land of Demons' daimyo shook his head.
He was very arrogant. But after all, he had only obtained Moryo's power recently, and the prestige of a great country had an influence on him deep down.
It was okay to talk big, but actually doing it was a bit daunting.
At least he needed a large Ghost Army first. The stone soldiers he had secretly awakened now numbered only a few dozen, which was far too few.
"Then let's use poison."
Moryo spoke again.
"…Okay."
This ti, the Land of Demons' daimyo agreed to Moryo's plan.
This way, they would have more ti to develop slowly.
Upon hearing this, Moryo let out a sinister laugh.
But what he has now is not enough. He needs to gather the priestess's power and return to his own body.
This ordinary human body alone cannot withstand too much of his power and will age quickly.
Before long, the room returned to silence. A glint flashed in the daimyo's eyes, and he called for a guard, instructing him on a matter.
The guard's expression stiffened upon hearing this, and he nodded in agreent.
…
The next day
The daimyo summoned the Konoha and Sunagakure ninjas, inviting them to a gathering, and the priestess was also present.
However, after listening to Kiyoshi's explanation yesterday evening, Minato had a feeling that this gathering was going to be full of trouble.
The priestess would not harm them. But the daimyo, possibly bewitched by Moryo... it was uncertain.
However, they were not qualified to directly attack the daimyo or examine his body.
This would cause diplomatic problems, and no one could bear the responsibility if sothing went wrong.
In the very center of the hall, the daimyo waved his hand and summoned servants to bring chairs and tables, filling them with precious delicacies.
"Please, eat and drink."
"Thank you, Lord Daimyo."
Kikku raised his glass, toasted the daimyo from afar, then took a small sip and began to dine.
Seeing that he had begun to dine, the Land of Demons' daimyo nodded in satisfaction.
Just as he was about to observe the situation on Konoha's side, he suddenly noticed that the priestess was frowning today.
"Miroku, what's wrong?"
The Land of Demons' daimyo asked with concern.
Even though his ambition was so great that he wanted to conquer the Five Great Countries with Moryo, he still had his own tenderness in his heart.
The priestess was the most sacred and great woman in the Land of Demons.
Successive priestesses had been saving the Land of Demons, just like goddesses descending from the heavens.
She was sothing few people in the Land of Demons could resist.
Especially for n like the daimyo, who held high positions and had seen through the mundane.
They yearned even more for the ethereal and sacred like the priestess.
"No… it's nothing."
Miroku shook her head, her beautiful purple eyes scanning the ninjas present.
Soon, Miroku locked onto the person she had dread of last night.
There were only two people in the room with the fla fan crest, Obito and Kiyoshi.
After narrowing the scope, only Kiyoshi had sothing resembling a scroll hanging from his waist.
The person last night was likely Kiyoshi.
However, she did not see Kiyoshi die, only that too many people had died outside, which happened to make Kiyoshi appear in her dream as well.
"That Uchiha is…"
Miroku suddenly asked for Kiyoshi's na.
"He is Uchiha Kiyoshi, my subordinate." Yūki quickly said.
It's always good to say a na in front of the daimyo.
Once the daimyo morizes their nas, he might call on soone to take on a mission.
He believed what Kiyoshi had said yesterday, but the Land of Demons' daimyo might not be bewitched by Moryo.
Even if he was bewitched, there's Minato, a master of sealing techniques, by his side.
"I see."
Miroku nodded slightly.
She sat at the sa table as the daimyo.
The other ninjas were at two other tables, surrounded by guards responsible for security.
"Wait."
Kiyoshi grabbed Kurenai's small hand, stopping her from picking up her glass to drink.
"Kiyo… Kiyoshi, what are you doing?"
Kurenai's voice was very soft, and she was stunned.
Kiyoshi was actually holding her hand in public?
Asuma's molars were almost crushed, and he quickly asked Kiyoshi what he was doing.
"Lord Daimyo, there's sothing wrong with this."
Kiyoshi's dark eyes had turned into Sharingan at so point.
As long as a large amount of pupil power is poured into the Sharingan, the Sharingan's insight can be maximized.
Kiyoshi clearly saw floating objects about one-eighth the size of a hair inside.
This floating object was very transparent and difficult to see. Even if ordinary people saw it clearly, they would think it was just an impurity in the spring water.
Kiyoshi had learned about poison from Nono and recognized this toxin.
Hearing Kiyoshi's words, the atmosphere suddenly beca tense.
Kikku of Sunagakure almost had his eyes popped out.
He looked at the glass he had already taken a sip from, not knowing whether to put it down or vomit imdiately.
Kiyoshi directly launched a Sharingan Genjutsu on the guard behind the damiyo who was responsible for setting these things out.
Caught off guard, the ninja was imdiately controlled by the Genjutsu. Kiyoshi controlled him to drink the poisonous drink from Kurenai's table.
Then, a faint green light appeared on Kiyoshi's fingertip, touching the guard's abdon.
This was a D-rank dical ninjutsu. It uses dical chakra to make the patient's stomach digest quickly.
It was also a ninjutsu Nono had taught Kiyoshi to prevent patients from not being able to digest the dicine in ti.
The next mont, the guard foad at the mouth, his face turned pale, his lips turned black, and he fell straight down.
Whether it was Konoha ninjas or Sunagakure ninjas, they were all startled by this scene.
Kiyoshi was clearly using dical ninjutsu, how could there be such a poisoning reaction?
