Chapter 121 - Mōryō's Escapade

A white light emanated from the center of Miroku's upturned crown.

A pinkish-purple chakra began to swirl around her.

She walked alone at the head of the daimyo possessed by Mōryō.

At the dragon's head, Mōryō's scarlet light fixed on the priestess.

Approaching tentacles were dissolved by the pinkish-purple chakra.

"Priestess, danger!"

Kiyoshi rushed forward, standing in front of the priestess. He looked righteous and awe-inspiring.

The current Mōryō is only a soul and cannot exert its true power.

In the future, Yomi will use himself as a vessel to bear more of Mōryō's power, at the cost of his body aging rapidly.

Mōryō had used his power to awaken a large number of stone soldiers, a mortal body simply cannot withstand the erosion of these powers.

And once there is no physical body, Mōryō's soul alone cannot exist in the world for long and will dissipate in an instant.

In the ninja world, only the Sage of Six Paths has shown that his soul can wander in the ninja world for a long time.

But you can also use ninjutsu to take shortcuts, allowing the soul to stay outside for a while after leaving the body.

That is Kato Dan's S-rank ninjutsu, Spirit Transformation Technique, which turns oneself into a living soul, traversing and killing enemies regardless of distance, and can also control the opponent's body and enter their mental world.

This is a relatively unsolvable ninjutsu, but unfortunately, Kato Dan was still flanked by the enemy, and Tsunade couldn't save him.

"Kiyoshi!"

Kurenai was shocked, not expecting Kiyoshi to be so reckless, rushing ahead alone.

"Prioritizing the mission over your life."

Obito was somewhat admiring of Kiyoshi for a moment.

"I know a few sealing techniques, let me do it."

A figure appeared before Kiyoshi, it was none other than Minato.

Minato reached out to Mōryō in front of him, and circular black sealing formulas began to wrap around the dragon formed by the purplish-black mist.

Four Symbols Seal!

"Heh heh heh, you mere ninjas dare to use sealing techniques against me!" Mōryō laughed disdainfully.

Instantly, he broke free from Minato's sealing technique.

"!"

Minato's light blue pupils constricted, the Uzumaki clan's Four Symbols Seal was actually ineffective against Mōryō?

This is a powerful sealing technique that can even seal and suppress the Nine-Tails.

Caught off guard, Minato was sent flying by a tentacle, slamming into the wall.

Mōryō's strength began to rise sharply in his mind.

A technique that could seal the Nine-Tails was useless against Mōryō?

"Could it be that I can only use... that technique?"

Minato wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, gripping his special kunai.

He also knew an S-rank sealing technique, Reaper Death Seal.

But Minato was unsure if he could cast it. He had very little knowledge of this sealing technique and had practiced it for too short a time.

And once he used this sealing technique, he would...

"Only I can deal with Mōryō. The ninjas of Konoha should retreat."

Miroku was completely expecting the situation.

She turned her head, and left Kiyoshi with a view of a snow-white neck, with the curve extending from the collar faintly visible.

'As expected, only the priestess's sealing technique can be effective?' Kiyoshi thought to himself.

You can tell from the color that the priestess's sealing technique is different from traditional sealing techniques.

Generally, the patterns formed by traditional sealing formulas are black, while the priestess's are pinkish-purple.

Moreover, if it were effective, the Uzumaki clan, famous in the ninja world for having the mantle of being the best in sealing technique, would not have ignored Mōryō.

Eliminating this millennium-old scourge would greatly enhance the reputation of the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, and they would receive more mission requests when establishing Uzushiogakure.

This may be because of professional specialization, special monsters require special sealing formulas.

Because, according to legend, the priestess's power was too great, so in order to prevent misusing this power, she divided her "heart" and "thoughts" into two halves.

Living with mutual distrust.

Somehow, they gained the titles of priestess and Mōryō.

Of course, these all came from Yomi's mouth. There was bound to be some distortion of facts.

In the final post-credits scene after Shion and Naruto defeated Mōryō together, she discovered that Mōryō was generated by human negative emotions.

Like the boss of another movie, "Zero-Tails," it is the product of the dark forces in people's hearts.

By the time people realize it, it is already too late, because humans cannot completely get rid of darkness.

But since such legends could be passed down, it is very likely that the original Mōryō was the first priestess's... negative emotions.

"Lord Mōryō, I will deal with the priestess. Please retrieve your body quickly."

Yomi jumped out, his long hair fluttering.

His skin turned purple, and the corners of his mouth split open exaggeratedly, revealing sharp fangs.

"Hmph, Yomi, you have done well this time. When I retrieve my body and let the ghost army trample the five great countries, it will be the time to establish a thousand-year-old immortal dark empire. At that time, I will make you a great general!"

Looking at the serious priestess, Mōryō laughed loudly and chose to avoid battle first to retrieve his body.

His huge body soared into the sky, flying away quickly like a black mist dragon.

At the moment when Yomi saw Mōryō flying away, he clapped his hands, creating a deep pit and touched the exposed soil below.

Earth Release: Earth Flow Divide!

Boom!

Countless rocks rose into the sky, surrounding the entire broken hall.

Kakashi's expression was solemn. He had never seen such a strange thing.

Yomi had not used earth chakra nature transformation at all.

Is this the influence of Mōryō?

Kakashi thought to himself, occasionally dealing with the attacking ninjas of the Land of Demons.

He turned his gaze to Kiyoshi and found that Kiyoshi had a calm expression.

"Mōryō!"

When Miroku saw Mōryō soaring away, it was already too late.

Because the embarrassing thing is that the priestess only has close combat ability, and even sealing requires establishing a small barrier.

So, at the moment, Miroku could only stare blankly at the earthen walls surrounding the hall.

"Let's deal with these monsters first." Kiyoshi spoke.

Now that Mōryō has broken through this wooden palace and reached the open world outside, it is quite normal that he cannot be trapped.

Hearing this, Miroku looked at the mutated ninjas of the Land of Demons.

Speaking of the ninjas of the Land of Demons, they actually obeyed Yomi's orders more. It's just that Yomi nominally obeyed the daimyo's orders.

"We priestesses only have the ability to seal Moryo." Miroku shook her head.

These people affected by the power of Mōryō have already undergone changes within their bodies, equivalent to secondary derivatives.

The priestess's sealing ability will be greatly reduced on these monsters.

"Kill them quickly!" Yomi shouted.

The other ninjas of the Land of Demons swarmed up.
