I'm retrieving corpses in Konoha.

A single word appeared in the minds of all three simultaneously.

genius.

After dealing with the puppets around her, Hinata Rena clapped her hands and returned to Uchiha Natsu and the others.

She has returned to her quiet and beautiful self, seemingly a completely different person from before.

As soon as Uchiha Natsumi opened his mouth, Hyuga Reina's face immediately showed an expectant expression.

The words "Praise me!" are practically written all over his forehead.

Uchiha Natsu glanced at it, then said casually:

"Let's go. There are so many puppets here; the shrine maiden might be in danger."

Shisui realized what was happening and quickly said, "Then we need to speed things up; we should make it in time!"

After saying that, the two looked at each other and then turned around at the same time.

With a swift movement, he leaped onto a large tree and began to move quickly.

Hinata Rena watched Uchiha Natsu's departing figure, and her expression fell.

While in the corpse disposal unit, Hinata Reina never revealed her strength to Uchiha Natsu.

Actually, it was because they were afraid of hurting Uchiha Natsu.

After all, back then, Uchiha Natsu was a "good-for-nothing".

His expertise lies solely in the wondrous corpse-disintegrating ninjutsu and the theory of medical ninjutsu.

Since Uchiha Natsu was very talented in medical ninjutsu, Hyuga Rena also began to study medical ninjutsu.

In this way, they can not only have common topics, but also showcase their talents without hurting Uchiha Natsu.

Honestly, I've been using Wildfruit Reading to read and follow my favorite books lately. It has easy source switching, multiple reading voice options, and works on both Android and Apple devices.

But she never expected that she would accidentally master medical ninjutsu to the point of being the best in the entire medical department.

Now that Uchiha Natsu's combat prowess has begun to shine, Hyuga Reina no longer needs to hide it.

That's why he wanted to "show off" in front of Uchiha Natsu.

It can be said that Hyuga Rena has gone to great lengths to get closer to Uchiha Natsu.

But it still failed.

In Hinata Rena's eyes, Uchiha Natsu was like a stone man, devoid of all desires and emotions.

"Rena-senpai, you were... amazing just now."

Uzuki Yugao's voice came from beside her ear, breaking Hinata Reina's thoughts.

Hinata Rena turned her head to look at the pretty little girl beside her, and couldn't help but pout.

She took Yugao Uzuki's hand and said with emotion, "Little Yugao, you are much better than that stinky rock."

Upon hearing this, Uzuki Yugao lowered her gaze.

He glanced at Hinata Rena's chest, then at his own.

It seems that I really am Xiao Xiyan.

After this incident, the relationship between Hinata Rena and Uzuki Yugao immediately improved.

As they chased after Uchiha Natsu ahead, they chatted to strengthen their relationship.

By the time they caught up with Uchiha Natsu, the two had become like sisters.

Hinata Rena calls Uzuki Yugao "Yugao-neechan" (meaning "Yugao-chan sister"), while Uzuki Yugao similarly calls Hinata Rena "Rena-neechan" (meaning "Rena-neechan sister").

Uchiha Natsu and Uchiha Shisui were both shocked.

They had only been gone for a little over a minute, and the two of them had gone from being senior and junior to being like sisters.

The friendship between women is truly unpredictable.

Uchiha Natsu didn't bother to ask, and the group continued walking through the trees.

In just one day, the four of them approached the capital of the Demon Kingdom.

Along the way, they encountered some miscellaneous terracotta warriors, which the four of them quickly dealt with.

Upon arriving outside the city walls of the capital, one can see that there are no terracotta warriors in the vicinity.

It seems that the capital of the Land of Demons has not yet been invaded.

Terracotta warriors don't run; they can only walk.

Therefore, their speed was more than half that of Uchiha Natsu and the others as they leaped through the trees.

Therefore, the ghostly army of the demons should not have arrived here yet.

Uchiha Natsu and his companions traveled day and night and have arrived just in time.

As the four approached the city gate, a line of archers immediately appeared on the city wall.

With a whoosh, the arrow was aimed at the four people.

Who are you?

Immediately afterwards, a soldier dressed differently appeared above the city gate and asked loudly.

The other three all looked at Uchiha Natsu.

Uchiha Natsu then stepped forward and shouted:

"We are ninjas from Konoha. We have come to assist the priestess after receiving a request for help from your country."

"Reinforcements?!"

The guard peered forward, and because the city wall wasn't very high, he could clearly see the appearance of Uchiha Natsu and the others.

When he saw the Konoha ninja headband on Uchiha Natsu's head, he was immediately overjoyed.

A moment later, with a clicking sound, the city gate opened. The guards led a group of people out to greet them.

But when the guards reached a short distance in front of Uchiha Natsu, they suddenly stopped and looked around.

After looking around, the guard turned to Uchiha Natsu and asked in confusion, "Friends from the Land of Fire, where are your others?"

Uchiha Natsu shook his head and said, "We are the only ones here to protect the priestess."

Upon hearing this, the guard's expression froze.

Chapter 75 The Priestess Miroku

"Only..." The guard was about to question, but quickly stopped himself.

He was just a city gate guard.

In matters like this, only the priestess and the ministers of the Land of Demons have the right to speak.

Although it felt like Konoha had sent far too few ninjas.

However, he should still do his job and not say too much.

"Please come in, I'll take you to the priestess." The guard sighed, his mood somewhat downcast.

Then, he made an inviting gesture and turned to lead the way.

Uchiha Natsu followed behind the guards without saying a word.

Seeing that Uchiha Natsu didn't speak, the other three silently followed behind him.

The capital of the Land of Demons is actually not very large.

It seems to be a bit smaller than Konoha.

After passing through several streets, a high wall appeared in front of us.

Looking out through the central gate.

Behind the high wall, there was a forest.

After communicating with the guards at the high wall, the guide was allowed to pass smoothly.

Once inside the walls, the forest was quite vast.

The capital city appears to be a ring, enclosing the forest within it.

After passing through the forest, the group was led to a palace.

The architecture has a retro style, which reminded Uchiha Natsu of palace dramas from his previous life.

The palace was guarded by a large number of soldiers, most of whom carried bows and arrows.

After going through complicated identity verification procedures, Uchiha Natsu and his companions finally arrived at the main hall.

You can see it through the open gate.

The priestess wearing a golden crown sat regally on the far end of the platform.

On either side of the main hall, there were several people who looked like ministers, kneeling and sitting facing the central aisle.

The priestess Miroku kept looking out the door.

Just now, a communications soldier ran over ahead of time to inform them of the arrival of Konoha's reinforcements.

Therefore, in Maitreya's eyes, there is now some expectation.

When he saw a figure appear at the door, Maitreya's eyes lit up even more.

However, in order to maintain the dignity of a shrine maiden in front of her subordinates.

Miroku did not rush to greet them, but waited for the guards to lead Uchiha Natsu and the others in.

Uchiha Natsu followed the guards to the foot of the shrine.

The man sitting in the center, Miroku, was only in his early twenties, not much older than Uchiha Natsu.

In Uchiha Natsu's opinion, his appearance was just average, not as good-looking as the two in the team.

At this moment, the ministers on both sides of the hall were also keeping a close eye on Uchiha Natsu and his companions.

When they saw that there were only four people in the whole group, they couldn't help but look towards the door.
