Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

The massive storm, fueled by the chakra rosary, swelled to a size almost the same as the demon in an instant.

Under such a fierce storm, no matter how many tentacles the demons had, they were like mud oxen entering the sea, silently turning into black mist and dissipating into the world, unable to stir up any waves.

After shredding all the tentacles that attacked the demon, Baiyun Qingye continued to manipulate the storm towards the demon's main body.

"This...how is this possible?!"

The remaining tentacles of the demon trembled in the air, their frenzied and twisted forms filled with an indescribable terror.

Fear spread through the hearts of the demons.

The rationality that had been lost due to anger was restored by fear after Bai Yun Qingye's attack.

Even his frenzied eyes had a touch of clarity.

Just now, he almost lost most of his strength. With his negative emotions reduced, his rationality naturally recovered a lot.

"it's all over."

The white clouds and green leaves remained silent, merely manipulating the storm to sweep towards the demons.

"No, this is impossible! What kind of power is this?!"

As the storm hurtled toward it, the remaining serpentine body of the demon, shrouded in purplish-black mist, began to writhe wildly once more, roaring in fury and fear.

That storm could annihilate its power, making it unable to recover.

If it gets caught up in this force, it might really disappear.

Even if it doesn't die, it will become weak and frail from losing its power.

No! I'll die, I'll definitely die!

Escape! We must escape immediately!

As long as it is alive, it can find an opportunity to devour the priestess and regain its strength!

The demon was left with only the desire to retreat.

It doesn't need to face an invincible enemy.

Filled with fear, it finally glanced at Baiyun Qingye, mustered its courage, and used its last bit of power to transform into black tentacles, which stretched rapidly toward Baiyun Qingye.

They hoped to delay the process for a sufficient amount of time.

However, Baiyun Qingye simply watched indifferently as the remaining black tentacles of the demon flew towards her, standing there without making any move, calmly watching the demon struggle on the ground in its ridiculous and pitiful state.

Puff puff!

Before the countless outstretched tentacles could even get close to Baiyun Qingye, the storm pulverized every single one of them.

Ultimately, the storm covered the enormous body of the demon.

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!!"

In the storm, the howls of the demons sounded even more mournful.

But as the demon's body was being torn apart bit by bit by the storm, a figure shrouded in purplish-black mist suddenly fell from it.

Then they immediately began to run wildly through the jungle.

The demon swore that this was definitely the fastest it had ever escaped.

However, it is not using its own body now, but the body of Huang Quan that it has merged with.

Its physical body is now blocking the storm's advance.

After today, its physical body will probably disappear completely from this world.

Thinking of this, the demon felt a pang of sorrow and wanted to look back one last time.

However, in that very glance, a chakra rosary appeared before it.

"what?!"

The demon's eyes widened.

The next moment, the rosary shot into its heart, turning into a vortex that swallowed its last chance to escape.

"Roar!!!"

"Damn humans, I am immortal! You may kill me now, but as long as darkness exists, I will never perish..."

This is the last sound that the demon left behind in this world.

Bai Yun and Qing Ye watched this scene with calm expressions.

But Shion behind her was already stunned and stood there.

Is this the demon that has left every priestess helpless and forced to seal it away with her life?

But in front of Baiyun Qingye, it was like a mouse.

Even with a desperate struggle, death is inevitable.

Looking at the white clouds and green leaves standing in the eye of the storm, seemingly isolated from the world.

A flutter of excitement stirred within Ziyuan's heart.

She clutched the bell on her chest, her eyes welling up with tears.

The prophecy... came true.

She did not sacrifice herself, and the demon vanished from this world completely.

Thus ended the fate of the priestess lineage.

Chapter 724 Shion's Self-Comfort

"..."

Baiyun Qingye watched quietly as the last remaining power of the demon was completely erased, remaining noncommittal about its final words.

As it says, as the dark side of the priestess, it may truly have a chance to be reborn as long as the priestess lineage continues.

But that's probably going to happen hundreds of years from now.

After all, where would the shrine maiden get so much darkness to bring it back to life?

After dealing with the demons, Shirokumo Aoba returned to the wooden dragon carrying Ino and Shion.

"Aoba, you were so cool just now!"

Ino immediately rushed over with a big smile.

Just thinking about how handsome he looked down at the monster from his high vantage point made her heart pound.

Their eyes were sparkling at that moment.

Seeing Ino's expression, Shirokumo Aoba didn't know what to say, so she could only smile and pat her hair.

Although Ino's personality has matured considerably with age.

But she still has a bit of a fangirl side.

However, this is of course just his infatuation.

"Lord Hokage!"

Ziyuan also jogged up to him with small, quick steps.

She looked at Baiyun Qingye, took a deep breath, and bowed ninety degrees to thank them.

"Thank you so much. Without you, I'm afraid I would have had to use my own life to seal it."

"You're welcome."

Bai Yun Qingye waved to the white-haired girl in front of him, who was fully embodying the spirit of craftsmanship, and said with a gentle smile, "Since we accepted the commission, this is simply our duty."

"But in any case, Hokage-sama, you saved my life."

Ziyuan's face was filled with gratitude.

But soon, she remembered the last words the demon had left behind.

"But Lord Hokage, has that demon, Moryo, truly disappeared completely?"

After a moment's thought, Baiyun Qingye said, "What I can confirm is that this demon has indeed been completely annihilated, but the essence of a demon is a collection of negative emotions. As long as darkness exists, it may be reborn one day."

"However, that will be at least several hundred years from now, and the newly born demons will definitely be much weaker, so Your Highness need not worry."

"This……"

Ziyuan felt her mind was a bit confused; she didn't really understand things like the dark side.

However, judging from this perspective, although she has been freed, her future descendants may still be threatened by the demons.

From this perspective, she must give birth to a sufficiently powerful offspring!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look up at Baiyun Qingye in front of her, and a blush crept onto her fair face.

Although he's a bit of a womanizer, he was indeed very strong and cool when he dealt with the demon just now...

Moreover... if they are their offspring, wouldn't dealing with the demons in the future be a piece of cake?

That's it!

Shion seemed to suddenly understand something.

So, is this the reason she was willing to be with the other person in the prophecy?

Sure enough, Shion knew that she was definitely not the kind of frivolous person described in the prophecy.

She acted so desperately because she was doing it all for the future of the priestess lineage.

No wonder she kept competing with the other girls in the predicted scene...

This is all for the future of the priestess lineage.

Ziyuan mentally brainwashed herself.

It can only be said that after resolving the life-threatening threat of the demon, her personality became more lively.

"Your Highness, Priestess?"

Bai Yunqingye looked at the little witch who glanced at him and then immediately lowered her head again, wondering what she was thinking.
