Chapter 172 I'm going to roll my eyes
The group moved quickly forward along the dark underground water channel.
For a moment, apart from the sound of rushing water and the hurried footsteps of the crowd, there was no other sound in the room.
Naruto's location wasn't far from the Box of Souls. Before long, the group arrived in front of a gate lit by torches, with two terracotta warriors made by the spirit standing on either side, indicating that Akali and the others had come to the correct location.
"There really is something here!" Naruto was shocked as he looked at the terracotta figurine in front of him.
"Don't panic, just take them down!" Akali tapped Naruto on the back of the head.
"Okay, I'm going!"
Naruto created two shadow clones, which flew towards the terracotta warriors guarding the gate.
The terracotta figures remained silent, but judging from the orderly footsteps coming from behind the gate, the terracotta warriors guarding the Wraith's Fate Box had clearly been alerted by the arrival of these people.
"Rumble, rumble—"
The heavy gate slowly opened, and a large number of terracotta warriors poured out like startled bees.
At that moment, Akali grabbed Shion: "Naruto is drawing attention, now it's our turn!"
"go!"
Akali flicked her wrist, and three smoke grenades precisely covered the main gate and even the passageway behind it.
With the smoke grenade as cover, Akali, carrying Orchid in one arm, passed directly over the passage!
Soon, Akali passed through the passage, and a palace-like underground space appeared before the two of them.
In the very center of the palace was a throne, and sitting on the throne was someone who was extremely familiar with the resources.
"Huh, me?" Shion exclaimed in surprise, looking at the person on the throne who looked exactly like her, momentarily confused.
Yes, the person sitting on the throne in the palace at this moment is not Shion's guard, Ashiho, but someone who looks exactly like Shion!
[Ding! Violet's emotional value +9999!]
"How could this happen?" Ziyuan was bewildered.
If she were the one sitting on the throne, then who is she now?
In an instant, plots from various folk novels flashed through Ziyuan's mind.
For example, a prisoner bribes the executioner before being beheaded, asking him to release him. However, the executioner takes the money but does not do the job. The prisoner, however, believes that he was released during the execution and lived in another place for many years before being seen by an acquaintance and crying out his death.
Thinking about all this, Ziyuan's extraordinary wisdom led her to a conclusion.
Could it be that she is already dead, but her duty as a priestess has kept a remnant of her spirit, sending it to find help to resolve the calamity...?
"Smack!" A sharp rap on the head interrupted Shion's thoughts.
"Ouch!"
Ziyuan covered her forehead, which was red from Akali's flick.
"What are you thinking about?" Akali asked helplessly, knowing without even having to guess what Ziyuan was thinking.
"Think about it carefully. How did you manage to escape and have your guards take your place? Otherwise, surely the demon isn't so face-blind that he can't even tell men from women?"
"Oh right!" Shion recalled that at that time, Ashiho used the secret Shadow Mirror Transformation Technique to transform herself into her appearance.
But isn't that the effect of a spell? Why would such a change extend to the spirit?
Ziyuan cast a puzzled look at the demon on the throne.
Akali took two steps forward and raised her voice, "It's about time you woke up. I don't believe you haven't completed the consciousness transfer in so long."
"By the way, let me interview you. What's it like being a cute Omega girl?"
"Shut up, you damn brat!"
The Shion-like demon suddenly opened its eyes, its white pupils, which were extremely similar to the Byakugan, filled with tangible malice as it fiercely swept its gaze toward Akali and Shion.
At the same time, a notification sounded in Akali's mind indicating her emotional state.
[Ding! Emotional value from the demon +9999!]
"Hmm?" Akali tilted her head in confusion.
Is becoming a cute, big-O girl really that much of a blow to a demon? Could it be broken with just one sentence?
and many more!
Akali suddenly remembered the question she had just asked Ziyuan, 'Otherwise, surely Wangliang wouldn't be so face-blind as to not be able to distinguish between men and women, right?'
Yes, if the Shadow Mirror Transformation Technique cannot completely simulate the external form, then why would the demon believe that it has truly devoured the priestess, instead of conducting a thorough search of the mountains and seas afterward?
and so……
"It's really gone! Da Long?"
Akali's eyes held a mixture of mockery, suppressed amusement, schadenfreude, and deep empathy.
"I told you, shut up, brat!"
"Say one more word, and I'll risk my life to keep you here!"
The wraith, resembling a violet flower, grew increasingly dark, and its full chest began to heave violently.
[Ding! Emotional value from the demon +9999!]
The emotional feedback vividly demonstrates the extent to which the demon's defenses are compromised.
In this way, Akali could somewhat understand why Wraith had gone to the trouble of expelling the absorbed body parts.
It's not a real lich. Liches create life boxes for easy transfer and survival, but the witch's power that the demon devoured is all inside her body. Putting aside the fact that expelling it would make survival inconvenient, its strength would definitely be reduced.
Because after the demon devoured the priestess's power, it transformed from an undead vengeful spirit into a living person.
If a person wants to unleash their full potential, it must be based on themselves, not just on external manifestations.
Therefore, there is only one reason why the demon does this: it wants to temporarily forget the fact that it has changed!
"Pfft!" Akali smiled as she thought of this.
Her smile undoubtedly became the signal gun for the outbreak of evil spirits.
"You wretch, I'll kill you!"
With his defenses completely breached, the Wraith, wielding a spear, launched a mounted charge at Akali!
Akali smiled slightly, and several lightning-infused shadows shot out, instantly shattering the small spear in the demon's hand. The exploding lightning directly knocked him to the ground.
At the same time, a Smite spell was delivered from Akali's alluring little mouth: "Baby, the way you are right now, even when you're angry, it sounds like you're being affectionate!"
"Okawaii Koto!"
[Ding! Emotional value from the demon increased!]
"Aaaaah!" the demon roared in fury.
"Rumble, rumble—"
Amidst the roar of the demon, the ground above Akali and the others began to tremble violently.
Then, a giant stone hand rudely shoved in from above, directly digging through the layer of soil and rocks above Akali and the others!
It's the power that the demons separated from!
Then, the giant clay giant reached out and grabbed at the monster on the ground.
If the demon were to truly reunite with its separated power, Akali could still defeat it, but it would require considerable effort.
then……
"Pfft!"
The sharp scythe slices open Xiu's neck, and the sharp kunai pierces his heart!
Just as the demon was about to merge with her own power, Akali approached using the Flying Thunder God Mark that she had previously planted with Cold Shadow, slit the demon's throat, and shattered its heart at the same time!
"No!"
The clay giant reaching out from above everyone's heads froze.
Feeling the life force slipping away, the demon clutched its neck and collapsed to its knees.
Akali then flicked her wrist, and the ninja scythe and kunai in her hand were replaced by Aatrox's greatsword!
Seeing the Darkin weapon capable of devouring it, the Wraith's pure white pupils trembled violently.
"Wait, please wait!" Realizing his life was about to end, the demon begged for mercy: "Don't kill me! I can serve you, I can be your priestess, I can worship you as a god! I'm still useful, I'm still useful!"
"Is that so?" Akali tilted her head slightly, a cruel smile playing on her lips. "Too bad, one witch is enough!"
"And besides, even if I eat you, you'll still be mine!"
After saying that, before the demon could beg for mercy, Akali raised her greatsword high and then slashed down!
"Pfft... gulp gulp!"
A beautiful head flew high into the air, then landed on the ground, bounced twice, and rolled to the foot of Ziyuan.
Those pure white eyes, which could not close even in death, stared intently at Ziyuan, as if trying to tell her of their resentment.
Unfortunately, Shion is blind under normal circumstances and cannot see.
As the main body of the demon died, the clay giant above Akali's head, which had been frozen in place, began to collapse violently.
"Rumble, rumble—"
Huge rocks fell from the sky and crashed into the cavity.
They quickly piled up into a small mountain of stones on the spot.
However, Akali had already used Thunder God to leave the spot as soon as the rocks began to fall, so the falling boulders had no effect on her whatsoever.
Holding Shion in her arms and touching the priestess's soft, fragrant belly, Akali suddenly fell into deep thought.
Because she always felt like she had forgotten something.
what is it then?
"Help me, Akali!"
Naruto's faint shouts came from the foot of the boulder hill!
"Oh no, I forgot about Naruto!" Akali slapped her forehead, quickly closed her eyes to sense the Flying Thunder God mark she had left with Naruto, and in a flash, she borrowed Naruto.
"Akali!!!" Naruto roared angrily at Akali as soon as he appeared: "I thought you were going to take me with you!"
"So you only brought the priestess! You value romance over friendship! You value romance over friendship!" Naruto protested, jumping up and down.
Akali had nothing to say to Naruto's words and could only lower her head shyly, "S-S-S-Masai, I'll treat you to ramen when we get back!"
"Hmph!" Naruto's anger subsided somewhat, seeing Akali rarely lower her head. "Three meals!"
“Okay, three meals it is!” Akali, who was rich and powerful, patted her chest and assured them. With her current wealth, she could afford to treat them to three meals of ramen.
"Alright, I forgive you!" Naruto nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the rocky mountain in front of him and scratched his head in confusion: "So, have we killed the demon now?"
“Yes, the Wraith is dead!” Akali nodded.
"So, it's over?" Naruto asked, still confused.
"The end? That's not necessarily true." Akali smiled mysteriously.
After saying that, Akali didn't explain why, and pulled Naruto to join Sasuke.
With the death of the demons and the dissipation of the immortal clay army, this small coalition of multiple ninja village squads naturally had no reason to continue its activities.
After announcing the death of the demon, the teams from each ninja village dispersed to rest before returning home.
At the same time, news of the death of the demon also reached Obito's ears.
In the Land of Rivers, Obito was shocked to hear the news of White Zetsu: "What? Moryo is dead already?"
“Yes, Obito!” White Zetsu reported, “About three hours ago, the terracotta army that was fighting against the five great ninja villages suddenly melted in large numbers, and then the terracotta clay disappeared into the ground.”
"About half an hour later, some of the terracotta figures that were farther away and had not melted collapsed directly."
"To verify the actual situation, our people waited for a while and then went to the scene at the risk of being discovered, and that's where we found this!"
Bai Jue pulled out a head with its eyes wide open in death.
Even without seeing her face, just by looking at her long, pure white hair, Obito could recognize that this was the priestess they had captured and given to Moryo!
"The head of a priestess? No!" Obito suddenly shook his head, denying his own statement: "If Black Zetsu is right, this should be a Moryo!"
"Useless!" Obito wanted to smash Moryo's head with a slap, but just as his hand was about to touch it, he suddenly stopped as if he remembered something.
"Wait, it's good to bring the head back. Take the head down and extract the memories inside!"
Obito instructed, "Mouryou is different from ninjas. Ninjas would place a seal in their brains to prevent information from being leaked, but it and the priestess don't have that habit."
"Dig it up, I need to know the whole story!"
"Yes!" Bai Jue nodded and disappeared with the head of the demon.
"Troublesome!" Obito shook his head in annoyance as he stared at White Zetsu's departing figure. "Mouryou died too quickly. Our plan has been disrupted for a while. Black Zetsu, what do you say?"
A black Zetsu possessing a white Zetsu rose from the soil beside Obito's feet: "We have to activate Plan B, Obito! Oh, right, Hiruko is looking for you!"
"Hiruko is done?" Obito was overjoyed upon hearing this.
"It should... be finished!" Black Zetsu's tone was strange as he recalled Hiruko's appearance.
"What do you mean by 'should be finished'?" Obito frowned.
"Fine, I'll go see for myself!"
After saying that, Obito vanished in a flash, and soon arrived at the ritual hall where Hiruko was. Before he had even fully arrived, his voice could be heard from afar:
"Hiruko, Black Zetsu said you were looking for me?"
“Yes!” Hiruko, who had been facing away from the palace gate, turned around, and his appearance immediately surprised Obito.
Because at this time, Hiruko was no longer the petite girl she was when they first met. Not only was she almost as tall as Obito, but she also had two broken horns growing out of her head.
"What's going on with you?"
Obito pointed to the horn on Hiruko's head.
"It's out of balance!" Hiruko replied succinctly, "The White Zetsu you gave me is a bit too powerful. The combination of Wood Release and Mangekyou Sharingan isn't 1+1 greater than 2, it's 2 times 2!"
"so?"
Hiruko explained, "The combined power of my Storm Release, Swift Release, Steel Release, and Dark Release is no match for these two. So, under my control, they became the foundation of Wood Release and the Sharingan, not as equal third parties, but as supports!"
"This was originally bad news, but thanks to the support of other escape techniques, I was able to see a more distant view!"
Hiruko, growing increasingly fanatical, looked at Obito: "I want the Byakugan! Bring me a member of the main branch of the family right now, and I'll agree to anything you ask!"
