When they become villains in Konoha, the female ninjas all break down.

They never took these Iwa ninja, who were destined to die, seriously.

He took note of the strange power controlling these terracotta warriors.

These strange powers from the demons were eventually collected and became part of the soul banner he crafted using the "Soul Nourishing Technique".

The "Human Emperor Banner" he crafted was also constantly improving.

With the help of the little flag in the priestess's hand.

These terracotta warriors are no longer a problem.

Soon, the group broke through the encirclement of terracotta warriors outside the palace.

They sped off toward the Land of Swamps.

Along the way, the priestess guided everyone while remotely sensing the demons and monsters.

According to the shrine maiden's real-time intuition.

To everyone's surprise, they discovered...

The monster behind them was moving extremely fast.

Surprisingly, their travel speed was not inferior to that of elite ninjas.

.......

71. Maitreya, with his heart fluttering with spring fever, is more than capable of dealing with any demons alone.

Meanwhile, the distance between the pursuing demons and the ninja team was getting closer and closer.

The hot-tempered Iwa ninja were starting to lose their temper:

"Hey, this can't go on like this!"

Of course, it's not only the people of Iwagakure who are impatient.

Ye Cang also frowned and nodded, saying:

"If we keep expending chakra to travel like this, I'm afraid we won't have the strength to fight that demon even when we reach Fengmo Mountain."

Kakashi chimed in, "That's true."

Unlike the tireless demons.

The group, traveling at full speed, were consuming a great deal of chakra.

If you can't shake off the evil spirits behind you in a short time.

Keep consuming it.

The situation will become increasingly unfavorable for everyone.

Uchiha Shisui suggested, "Then let's find a place to ambush it."

The shrine maiden, her face flushed, endured the restless hand on her hip as Fang Yuan carried her on his back.

After thinking for a while, he hesitated and said:

“I… I can set up a temporary sealing barrier, which might be able to trap the demon for a while.”

After saying that, she slowly leaned close to Fang Yuan's ear and whispered, "Hand...don't...huff...how do you feel?"

Fang Yuan didn't say anything, but he reached out and pinched her buttocks...

"Ah~"

Everyone turned to look at the priestess Miroku.

What's the point of calling it?

Maitreya blushed and replied perfunctorily, "No...it's nothing."

She felt extremely ashamed and indignant.

What's wrong with this guy? I can't ask him yet.

Yekura glanced at the somewhat strange shrine maiden and said:

"Then I'll trouble you to set up the sealing spell."

"No trouble at all... It's what I should do."

The priestess's expression turned serious.

After deciding on the plan, everyone immediately put it into action.

Finally, the location for the ambush was chosen.

It is a steep canyon.

The narrow valley floor is an excellent choice for setting traps.

With the help of others.

The priestess laid out intricate sealing spells on the rock walls on both sides of the canyon.

It must be said, she truly lives up to her reputation as a priestess skilled in sealing techniques.

The sealing techniques that were set up were extremely complex.

Even a distant glance from others is enough to make one feel dazzled and dizzy.

Fang Yuan merely glanced at it.

Then I lost interest.

It's just a mere sealing technique; he doesn't need it.

After Maitreya has made the arrangements.

The ninjas then lay in ambush on both sides of the canyon.

Didn't have to wait long.

The legendary demon, the monster that had been chasing everyone, has finally made its appearance.

Watching the monster slowly crawl into the canyon.

Fang Yuan then realized this.

The so-called "Wangliang" looks like a monster that is neither a dragon nor a crocodile.

Its entire body was dark purple, and it looked quite ferocious.

A black, indistinct mist shrouded the surrounding area, almost concealing the enormous figure within it.

It makes it impossible to see its exact appearance.

Previously, the priestess was protected by a barrier outside the palace, preventing the demon and its puppet soldiers from getting close.

The priestess has now left the palace.

Without the protection of the barrier.

Driven by instinct.

The demons kept getting closer to the priestess, wanting to devour her and replenish themselves...

"What...what kind of monster is this?"

"so big."

"..."

Upon seeing the enormous and bizarre body of the demon, everyone except the few from Konoha exclaimed in surprise.

The Konoha members had already witnessed the Nine-Tails' rampage.

Their psychological acceptance level is slightly higher.

Although most of the Wraith's body is hidden in the black mist, its enormous size can be judged from the exposed head alone.

But compared to the Nine-Tails, the strongest of the tailed beasts.

It's still a bit short.

Ye Cang's eyes narrowed slightly; dealing with such a large enemy was not her forte.

Whether it's scorching escape or swordsmanship.

None of them could cause it any effective damage.

The expressions of Uchiha Shisui, Kakashi, Kurenai Yuhi, and Anko almost immediately darkened.

The instant I saw the demon.

Almost instinctively, they associated the monster before them with the Nine-Tailed Fox that had recently ravaged the village.

Have to admit.

Facing behemoths like tailed beasts and demonic creatures.

It was a nightmare for the vast majority of ninjas.

Even some ninjas with Kage-level strength are helpless against these enormous monsters.

Fang Yuan examined the demon before him with great interest.

In his eyes, this was no monster.

Instead, it is a combination of forces filled with tyranny, evil, and so on.

This perfectly meets the needs of the "Human Emperor Flag".

Devouring it is much more convenient than slowly consuming the ninja's soul.

The priestess Miroku almost instinctively looked to see Fang Yuan's reaction.

Seeing that he remained unmoved.

I felt a little relieved.

She developed an indescribable dependence on the "master" who forced her and took her body.

Uchiha Shisui raised his hand and touched his eyes.

A thought suddenly popped into my head... Perhaps only the Mangekyou Sharingan could fight against this monster.

only……

He glanced at his teammates and hesitated.

What if his kaleidoscope is exposed...?

Once the news gets back to the village, it will surely cause a huge uproar.

After all, in the Nine-Tailed Fox incident.

The fleeting Sharingan in Kurama's eyes has already made Uchiha a prime suspect.

At this moment, the forbidden eye of the Uchiha clan reappears.

This could very well make the village even more wary and suspicious of the Uchiha clan, which would be detrimental to his vision of a peaceful coexistence between the village and the clan...

As everyone's minds raced, they saw that the demon had already entered the ambush zone.

Ye Cang suddenly shouted, "Do it!"

The ninjas all felt a chill run down their spines.

Each person formed hand seals, launching an ambush...

"Earth Release: Earth Flow!"

"Earth Escape, Yellow Spring Marsh!"

"Earth Escape, a great river of earth flow!"

"Earth escape, Earth flow wall!"

First, the Iwa ninjas, who were stationed on both sides of the canyon, unleashed a series of Earth Release ninjutsu.

instantly.

Quicksand, mud, earthen walls, and stone pillars all surged out at once, directly enveloping the demon in the canyon.
