Starting with the usurpation of Akatsuki, the ninja world was overthrown.

Chapter 219 Departure, Land of Demons

After the New Year ended and Yahiko adapted to the changes of the new era, Shiba Kiyokawa officially led the team to the Land of Demons to carry out a mission.

This time, Konan and Nagato were taken away with him, leaving Yahiko and Kakuzu to guard the house.

Seeing Yahiko's confusion, Shiba Kiyokawa sincerely offered advice.

"The Land of Rain is developing very well now. The Ninja Academy has recruited many outstanding new students. They happen to be short of a principal. I suggest you take over the position."

One,

Yahiko pondered for a moment, then nodded and agreed.

Although he had only been awake for a short time, Yahiko had already sensed the changes in the Akatsuki organization and realized that he had fallen far behind Shiba Kiyokawa.

Now he is gradually accepting the fact that he has failed as leader, and he is also letting go of his obsession, wanting only to take a closer look at this newly born Rain Country.

He wanted to see for himself whether his current life was truly as wonderful as Shiba Kiyokazu had promised.

If everything is true, then he is willing to follow Shiba Kiyokazu's arrangements and be a good principal.

Perhaps after hearing so many stories that happened this year, Yahiko finally realized that Shiba Kiyokawa was indeed much better than him at leading the organization!

After handing over the rear, Shiba Kiyokawa mustered the troops, and the Akatsuki's Sixth Battalion set off once again!

After entering the land of demons, the priestess personally came to the gate to greet them.

This was the second time Konan and the shrine maiden had met. Upon their first meeting, sparks seemed to fly between their clashing gazes.

A few months ago, Konan led a team here, and at that time, the priestess of the Land of Demons resolutely rejected all of Akatsuki's conditions.

Xiao Nan remembers what the shrine maiden said at the time:

"We will not ally with despicable warmongers, nor will we ever cede our land! Go back, you villains of Akatsuki! You will never set foot in the Land of Demons in your lifetime!"

Because both the shrine maiden and Konan could fly, their battles at that time never actually took them a single step into the Land of Demons.

Unfortunately, the priestess's strength could not be maintained indefinitely.

Now that the Land of Demons is in trouble, looking around at the surrounding countries, they still have no choice but to ask the Akatsuki for help.

Now that they've met again, Xiao Nan calmly plays the trick.

"Your Highness, I am truly sorry, but I have returned in my lifetime."

As she spoke, she deliberately stomped her foot in front of the shrine maiden, indicating that she had set foot on the land of the demons.

It can only be said that as she spent more and more time with Shiba Kiyokawa, even the once gentle Konan-nee has become corrupted.

The priestess's guards kept wiping their sweat upon hearing this.

Even though it was still winter, he was covered in sweat the moment we met.

The priestess herself, upon hearing this, simply smiled and bowed slightly.

"Long time no see, angels of Akatsuki. Thank you so much for coming, everyone from Akatsuki. We are truly grateful for your help."

Last time we met, I called him a villain, but this time he's become an angel.

Xiao Nan snorted softly, having experienced firsthand the saying "thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river."

Moreover, this time the shrine maiden not only softened her words but also took concrete actions.

"Here are various ninjutsu and training materials passed down for thousands of years in our Land of Demons. Also, this is the mid-term reward for this commission. Please accept it."

Seeing that the shrine maiden was so cooperative, Shiba Kiyokawa didn't press the issue further and instead asked for details about the mission.

"Now can you tell us about the actual content of your commission?"

The priestess nodded and said, "Please follow us, members of the Akatsuki organization. We'll talk as we walk."

Then the witch finally told them in detail about the disaster she had foretold.

Just as Shiba Kiyokawa had guessed, the source of the disaster was still the same boss from the previous movie.

It is named as such.

This evil entity has existed in the Land of Demons for over a thousand years. The movie mentioned that it was originally one with the first priestess of the Land of Demons, but the kind priestess sealed it away for some reason.

After that, this became a historical problem that plagued every generation of priestesses in the Land of Demons.

The priestesses' abilities are related to language, voodoo, and spells; they can foresee escapes in advance.

The movie's storyline takes place more than ten years later, and in the movie, they go to Miyo for help.

This time, after receiving a premonition, the shrine maiden sought out the Akatsuki organization.

Although Shiba Kiyokazu still vaguely remembered the plot of the drama, he pretended to be clueless and asked questions.

This is also to verify the accuracy of the intelligence.

"So, what exactly is this power that Your Highness is worried about?"

The priestess then explained, "He has the ability to manipulate the dead. As long as he is alive, his undead army will be immortal and indestructible!"

If he were to break the seal, it would be a catastrophe for the entire ninja world!

The shrine maiden's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, and they also provided preliminary confirmation of most of the information in Shiba Kiyokawa's memories.

But then, Shiba Kiyokawa asked the next question.

"If he can manipulate the dead, what connection does he have with the Pure Land?"

Furthermore, since Your Highness the Priestess says this isn't the first time you've awakened, have you tried to communicate with her over the past thousand years? And what is her purpose in resurrecting the dead?

Knowing his purpose might allow us to counter him more effectively.

The priestess was taken aback by his question, but then answered solemnly.

"The purpose of resurrecting the dead? The purpose of such an evil being toying with the dead is obviously to destroy the world of the living. Is there any doubt about that?"

But upon hearing this, Shiba Kiyokawa merely gave the shrine maiden a deep look, then chuckled softly.

"I see, Your Highness the Shrine Maiden is right."

While he said it made sense, Shiba Kiyokawa had actually given the question a second thought.

The question I just asked was actually a probe.

Now that the information in the drama has been verified to be true, he took the opportunity to test the current priestess in front of him.

The result of the probe was obvious: the other party still had reservations about Xiao.

The movie's ending clearly states that he was originally one with the first priestess, so his primary goal was to kill the priestess of the Land of Demons, sever her lineage, and thus reclaim all his power!

As for what to do after the primary objective is achieved, the show doesn't say, nor does it have a chance to show it.

However, the current priestess of the Land of Demons is unwilling to reveal even this first purpose.

They keep saying they are fighting to protect the entire ninja world, but they never mention that their primary target is the priestess herself.

To be honest, this was something that Shiba Kiyokawa didn't quite understand.

If it were a hot-blooded, impulsive young man like Naruto, the protagonist of the series, then there would be some justification for doing this.

But now it's me who's here!

He believes that his reputation is somewhat unrelated to "pure and kind".

Besides, the Land of Demons has already paid, and paid a lot of money.

What is the purpose of continuing to conceal part of the truth at this point?
