Chapter 157 Annihilation of the Iwagakure Anbu, The Prophecy of the Priestess of the Land of Demons (First and Second Updates)

The village north of Amegakure.

Natsuki, Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato darted through the rain and finally stopped in front of a courtyard.

It was deep winter, and the continuous rain made dusk feel like night.

Under the cover of rain, the courtyard in front of them appeared very quiet.

Xia Mu waved his hand.

Yahiko and Konan both used the half-demon transformation.

Their blood accelerated, their chakra surged, and they suddenly changed, their bodies growing taller and transforming into adults.

They all have ghost horns on their foreheads.

Less than two months after Konan awakened her half-demon form, Yahiko also successfully unlocked his half-demon form.

The turbulent chakra fluctuations immediately alerted the Iwagakure ANBU ninjas in the courtyard.

Four Anbu ninjas from Iwagakure appeared.

Xia Mu was not surprised to see this.

His purpose this time was not to launch a sneak attack, but to verify the growth of Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato.

Yesterday, Xia Mu received intelligence from Qing's Squad and Ying's Squad.

They discovered a secret squad from Iwagakure village.

According to their findings, this Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village) secret unit is the force that secretly supports Sanshoyobei ​​(Salamander) of Amegakure (Hidden Rain Village).

After considering it, Xia Mu decided to kill them.

However, it wasn't his fourth ANBU squad that made the move, but rather Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato.

This Iwagakure ANBU squad consists of one Jonin and three Special Jonin.

The three special Jonin are just right to serve as opponents for Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato.

After Yahiko and Konan mastered the Half-Demon Transformation, they already possessed the strength of Special Jonin.

Although Nagato was not turned into a demon, his talent far surpassed that of Yahiko and Konan.

After learning the Six Powers of Konoha and Armament Haki, he began to learn Water Breathing.

Although he only learned half of it, it was still roughly equivalent to having the strength of a special Jonin.

However, none of the three of them had yet engaged in actual combat with a special Jonin.

Especially the special Jonin from the five great villages.

In the smaller ninja villages outside the five major villages, the standards for evaluating ninja ranks are deliberately relaxed.

In other words, it contains moisture.

But that's normal.

The small ninja village has few ninjas; if judged by the standards of the five major villages, there would be very few Jonin and Special Jonin.

However, employers in different countries have requirements when issuing missions, and many missions can only be accepted by special Jonin and Jonin.

Left with no other option, the small ninja village resorted to underhanded tactics and lowered its requirements.

"Who is it?"

The appearance of Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato immediately put the Iwagakure ANBU ninja into battle mode.

shave!

Xia Mu flashed forward and blocked the captain of the Iwagakure ANBU squad.

Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato also quickly found their rivals.

What was supposed to be a chaotic melee involving a sneak attack immediately turned into a one-on-one battle.

The Iwagakure ANBU ninjas were unaware of this change, or rather, they paid no attention to it.

They reacted quickly and immediately launched an attack.

With Natsuki's strength, he could have quickly taken down this Jonin from Iwagakure, but he didn't.

Because of the death of this Iwagakure Jonin, the other three Special Jonin will definitely be affected.

Or perhaps they will lose their will to fight and try to escape, in which case Xia Mu's goal will not be achieved.

The best way is to stall him.

While fighting him, Natsuki observed the battle between Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato.

First is Xiao Nan.

After she became half-demon, she took out the magic weather wand that Xia Mu had given her.

Blood Demon Art: Blood Burst!

Blood gushed from her palm, quickly covering the magic weather wand.

Soon, flames burst forth from the surface of the magic weather wand.

This is another use of Blood Demon Art: Blood Explosion, which can imbue ninja tools with flames.

At Xia Mu's suggestion, it was named Blood Demon Art: Blood Burst Blade.

When an enemy touches it, they will be burned.

Weather manipulation is relatively difficult to learn.

Konan hasn't fully mastered the Weather Technique yet, but because of the Blood Demon Technique: Blood Explosion Blade, she learned Nami's Staff Technique first.

She grabbed the magic weather wand and suddenly accelerated.

He shaved his head and arrived in front of the Iwagakure ninja.

Without saying a word, she aimed at him and swung her magic weather wand.

Wherever it passes, the rainwater evaporates directly.

The Iwagakure ninjas spotted the burning magic weather staff in her hand from afar.

Now that we're close by, we dare not touch it directly.

Earth Release: Rock Fist Technique!

The Iwagakure ninja formed a hand seal with his left hand and swung his right.

A large amount of rock covered his right arm.

His fist became heavy and powerful, slamming violently into the magic weather stick.

boom!

The dull thud of the collision stirred up air currents.

The air currents spread, causing nearby rainwater to scatter.

Konan gripped her magic weather stick with both hands, forming a standoff with the Iwagakure ninja.

Just then, she raised her leg and kicked him.

Storm kick!

The high-speed kick caused the air to whistle.

The Iwagakure ninja initially intended to retaliate with his feet, but he keenly sensed danger.

Konan's kick felt incredibly sharp to him, as if a ninja sword had slashed down at him.

If he were to kick, his foot might be cut off.

At the critical moment, he slammed his right hand down, striking the vacuum slash wave generated by Xiao Nanlan's foot.

A snap.

The rock on his right arm shattered.

The vacuum slash wave was weakened and mostly landed on his right arm.

A bloodstain was thus created.

The Iwagakure ninja were shocked.

He didn't expect to get injured in the first round.

Xiao Nan seized the opportunity and smashed the magic weather wand down on his head.

Earth Escape: Submerged in the Earth!

The Iwagakure ninja, enduring the pain, clapped his hands together.

He burrowed completely underground.

The magic weather wand landed on the ground, instantly causing the ground to crack.

However, it did not cause any effective damage to the Iwagakure ninja.

Xiao Nan looked around but couldn't find him anywhere.

But she wasn't flustered.

During this time, in addition to learning weather techniques, she also continued to study Blood Demon Technique: Blood Explosion.

Imbuing ninja tools with flames is just one method.

Blood Demon Art: Blood Rain!

Xiao Nan raised her hand, and blood gushed out, mingling with the ubiquitous blood.

She stood still, and the moment the Iwagakure ninja emerged from the ground, she pinpointed his location.

At the same time, the rainwater mixed with blood exploded.

The rainwater evaporated, and countless flames shot into the air.

The Iwagakure ninja who were preparing to ambush Konan changed his expression drastically and hurriedly formed hand seals.

Earth Release: Hardening Technique!

His entire body immediately became harder than rock.

Flames from all directions struck him, causing no harm, but his body involuntarily retreated.

Blood Demon Art: Exploding Blade!

Konan raised one hand, and her blood transformed into two Kurosawa swords that passed through the flames and reached the Iwagakure ninja.

The speed was too fast; the Iwagakure ninja had just prepared to form hand seals when the two Kurosawa swords exploded.

The flames, as if doused with hot oil, surged even more fiercely, completely engulfing him.

The Iwagakure ninja screamed and was sent flying.

His Earth Release: Hardening Technique was no longer able to withstand the intense heat of the flames.

He looked as if he had been pulled out of hot water; his whole body was bright red.

Armament Haki!

Xiao Nan, seizing the opportunity, immediately stepped forward and thrust her magic weather wand at him.

Faced with a life-or-death situation, the Iwagakure ninja quickly formed hand seals.

Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!

An earthen wall rose up.

Storm kick!

Xiao Nan kicked out, cutting the earthen wall open.

At the same time, the Magic Weather Stick, enhanced by Armament Haki, pierced the heart of the Iwagakure ninja at an extremely fast speed.

He opened his mouth, and a large amount of blood gushed out before he finally lost consciousness.

Next is Yahiko.

The moment the Iwagakure ninja saw him, he flung his hands away.

Eight shuriken flew out, unlocking his surroundings.

Blood Demon Art: Shuriken!

Unlike Konan, Yahiko didn't choose to close the distance with a shave; instead, he raised his hand.

The blood transformed into ice crystals shaped like swords in the hand and rushed towards them.

The sound of "dang" echoed.

All the shuriken were knocked away by his ice crystals.

"Ice Release?"

The Iwagakure ninja was startled and blurted out.

But he reacted quickly, immediately forming a hand seal.

Earth Release: Rock Cannon Technique!

He opened his mouth, and chakra gathered in his throat, turning into small pebbles.

The pebbles flew out, growing taller in the wind, like cannonballs hurtling towards Yahiko.

Blood Demon Art: Scattered Lotus Blossoms!

Countless flower petals appeared before Yahiko.

These petals are all made of ice flakes, and they look as sharp as knife blades.

They were all scattered, encasing each rock-iron cannon.

In the blink of an eye, the rock cannon was cut up and turned into rubble.

The remaining petals continued to drift towards the Iwagakure ninja.

Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!

An earthen wall rose up in front of the Iwagakure ninja, blocking the falling petals.

Blood Demon Art: Frozen Clouds!

Yahiko raised his hand and waved it.

Blood surged into the sky and transformed into a large cloud.

The clouds were falling down; they were called clouds, but they were actually a large number of ice crystals.

The Iwagakure ninja heard the sound of wind breaking overhead and quickly used the Body Flicker Technique to retreat.

shave!

Yahiko sped up and arrived in front of him.

Storm kick!

The high-speed vacuum slash wave was aimed at the Iwagakure ninja.

The Iwagakure ninjas felt a chill run down their spines.

He hadn't expected that Yahiko, who had just been exchanging ninjutsu with him, would suddenly become a taijutsu ninja.

Earth Release: Rock Fist Technique!

The Iwagakure ninjas felt the terrifying sharpness of that kick.

He clenched his right fist, covered the rock, and slammed it down.

The rock was immediately cut open.

The Iwagakure ninja felt a stinging pain.

But he was experienced, and with the power of that kick, he widened the distance between himself and Yahiko.

Blood Demon Art: Frosty White Princess!

Yahiko did not pursue, but stood still and clapped his hands together.

Two girls appeared, opened their mouths, and exhaled cold air.

Wherever the cold air passes, the rain freezes.

The Iwagakure ninja couldn't help but shudder.

He quickly formed a hand seal.

Earth Release: Earth and Rock Flow!

He punched the ground, which cracked open and a mudslide gushed out.

The mudslide was hit by the cold air and quickly froze.

However, the rate at which the cold air spread also slowed down.

He didn't even have time to breathe a sigh of relief.

Yahiko used the shaving technique again to stand in front of him.

Earth Release: Rock Fist Technique!

The Iwagakure ninja unleashed a punch as if it were a reflex.

Armament Haki!

Yahiko grabbed his fist with his left hand.

The Iwagakure ninja were momentarily stunned.

Before he could react, Yahiko stretched out his right hand and poked his heart with his index finger.

Finger gun!

Intense pain filled the air. He looked down at his pierced heart, his face filled with disbelief.

Storm kick!

Yahiko delivered the final kick.

His body was cut in two and fell to the ground, staining the rain red.

Yahiko and Konan were roughly equal in strength, and their battle ended at almost the same time.

However, Nagato was slightly weaker, so he was the last to finish.

At the start of the battle, Nagato took out the projected version of the grass sword given to him by Natsuki.

shave!

He appeared before the Iwagakure ninja without any warning.

Water Breathing - First Form - Water Surface Slash!

He leaned forward and swung the Kusanagi sword forward.

The nearby rainwater was drawn in and transformed into a stream that rushed towards the Iwagakure ninja.

Earth Release: Earth Substitute!

The Iwagakure ninja made no attempt to dodge and was struck by the sword.

But the expected blood did not appear; instead, he turned into stone.

The sound of wind breaking rang out.

When Nagato turned around, he saw a large number of spikes on the ground.

The ground spikes flew out, striking him like swords in his hand.

Paper drawing!

Nagato seemed to transform into a butterfly in the wind, dodging all the ground spikes in a strange yet effortless manner.

"What kind of martial arts technique is this?"

The Iwagakure ninja couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

But the next second, he was even more surprised.

Moonwalk!

Nagato flew to the top of his head.

Breath of Water - Second Form - Waterwheel!

He spun around like a waterwheel, swinging his grass sword.

The water flowed along with the Kusanagi sword, cascading down in an instant.

The Iwagakure ninja immediately raised his hand.

Water Release: Water Wave Hands!

A stream of water flew from his hand, crashing into it like a water dragon.

Water Release: Water Wave Hands is a rare Water Release ninjutsu that does not require hand seals.

Nagato neither dodged nor evaded, but directly sliced ​​through the water dragon with his grass sword.

At this moment, he was not far from the Iwagakure ninja.

The Iwagakure ninja swung his hands without stopping.

A large number of shuriken were aimed at Nagato in an instant.

Moonwalk!

Nagato disappeared from the spot.

"Flying ninjutsu is such a hassle."

The Iwagakure ninja frowned slightly, looked around, and quickly found Nagato.

Water Breathing - Third Form - Flowing Dance!

Nagato charged at him.

Water flowed around him, visually creating several streams as he swung his sword.

Earth Release: Earth Stone Dragon!

The Iwagakure ninja forms hand seals.

The ground cracked, and a large amount of soil and rocks flew out, forming a dragon.

Nagato swung his sword several times, all of which struck the earth dragon.

In an instant, rocks flew everywhere.

The Iwagakure ninja snorted coldly and raised his hand.

He maneuvered the boulders, accelerating his flight towards Nagato.

Paper drawing!

Nagato sensed the airflow generated by the boulders and quickly dodged.

"That physical technique again?"

The Iwagakure ninja frowned and immediately began to wave his hands like phantoms.

Dozens of kunai flew out.

While paper drawing is impressive, it can't achieve such a dense array of dodges.

Armament Haki!

shave!

Instead of retreating, Nagato advanced.

The pebbles and kunai that landed on him were all bounced away.

"What?"

The Iwagakure ninja's expression changed drastically.

But Nagato was already in front of him.

Breath of Water - Fourth Form - Tide of Strike!

All the nearby rainwater was gathered together, and Nagato swung his sword with the force of a thousand pounds, carrying the momentum to shatter the tide.

Earth Release: Hardening Technique!

The Iwagakure ninja reacted quickly, raising their arms.

With a clang!

His arms hardened, blocking the knife.

Storm kick!

Armament Haki!

Nagato reacts faster.

In an instant, a kick was delivered.

A kick imbued with Armament Haki cleaved the Iwagakure ninja in two.

At this point, all three Iwagakure Special Jonin were dead.

The Iwagakure Jonin, who was locked in combat with Natsuki, only felt a moment of distraction before his three subordinates died one after another.

He immediately realized something was wrong and tried to escape.

But Xia Mu naturally wouldn't give him that chance.

Stylish eyes!

"How could you—"

The Jonin of Iwagakure had no idea that Natsuki's eyes would suddenly release a genjutsu.

He was instantly under the spell, and his face became dazed.

Although he reacted quickly and immediately tried to dispel the illusion, Xia Mu was even faster.

He chopped off his head with a single stroke.

"We actually managed to defeat the Iwagakure ANBU?"

Yahiko patted his face, still finding it somewhat unbelievable.

After all, he was well aware of the value of the secret service of the five major villages.

Even the most elite ninjas were no exception.

Nagato and Konan also felt dazed.

Going back more than two years, they never imagined that one day they would defeat the Anbu of Iwagakure.

After all, they were starving and freezing at that time, and they didn't even know if they would survive the next day.

And all of this was naturally because of Xia Mu.

He saved them and taught them, enabling them to improve their strength by leaps and bounds and survive in this chaotic ninja world.

"Gather their bodies together."

Xia Mu instructed, "Xiao Nan, burn their bodies."

The corpse can talk.

Natsuki didn't want Konoha or Iwagakure to learn about the battle that had just taken place through their corpses.

"Yes, Ms. Natsuki."

Xiao Nan raised her hand, and her blood turned into flames, burning them away.

They've been through a lot of battles and are used to this kind of thing now.

"Let's go back."

Seeing that the corpse had been burned to ashes, Xia Mu spoke up.

Now that the New Year is almost here, he should go back to Konoha Village.

With the Anbu of Iwagakure wiped out, Amegakure will be much quieter for a short time.

Next year, Xia Mu can go to the Yellow Springs Sect.

Previously, he had unlocked the Blood Demon Art of the Kibutsuji Muzan template.

This means that he doesn't need to learn any ninjutsu or secret techniques for the time being; the remaining abilities will need time or battles to unlock.

The Temple of the Witch Goddess of the Land of Demons.

A young girl suddenly woke up from a nightmare.

She was wearing a traditional shrine maiden's outfit, her snow-white hair was disheveled, and her chest was heaving as she gasped for breath.

Without a doubt, she is Miroku, the current priestess of the Land of Demons.

She pressed her forehead, recalling her nightmare, or rather, her prophecy.

The priestess possesses extremely special abilities.

Besides sealing away evil spirits, it also has the ability to predict life and death.

Just now, she witnessed the death of the demon.

That's impossible.

The Land of Demons has existed for nearly a thousand years, and the demons have never been killed; they can only be sealed away by priestesses.

The priestess was able to seal away the demons not because her sealing technique was particularly powerful, but because their powers originated from the same source.

This is why she was able to predict the death of the demon out of thin air.

Each time the demon escapes its confinement, it tries to devour the priestess to achieve a unity of power.

Whose face is that?

Maitreya also predicted the appearance of the person who would kill Kui Liang.

She thought about it and decided to find an artist to draw the face before asking him for help.

Although it is unknown why he was able to kill the demon, there is no doubt that he is the savior of the priestess lineage.
