Kiyoshi's current mastery of "Yin" escape techniques is very high.
In the original work, Tayuya, one of the Sound Five, only knows one B-rank ninjutsu called "Demon Realm Chaos".
Using the sound of a flute in conjunction with the summoned spirits, the materialized spirits sealed within them are released, causing them to expel a substance composed purely of "spiritual energy" from their mouths.
This is a semi-matter with almost zero mass, which can be described as a special kind of chakra.
These creations of Yin Release chakra will frantically seek out "physical energy," and enemies bitten by them will have their chakra absorbed.
Kiyoshi can exist for a long time by adding "dark chakra" to these beings, giving them the ability to absorb negative emotions.
For the people of the Land of Demons, this is the second demon.
“You…” A hint of surprise flashed across Maitreya’s dignified face.
She hadn't expected that Kiyoshi possessed such forbidden techniques, let alone hinted at them so blatantly.
Such behavior is no less than deceiving one's people.
Maitreya is feeling quite unwell right now.
She did not want to deceive her people.
However, she was able to maintain her prestige while she was alive, after all, people of that generation had witnessed her and Qing Si sealing away the demons.
What will happen when it comes to Aster's generation?
What will happen to the next generation of shrine maidens who will carry on this tradition?
It is foreseeable that, under such circumstances, decline is almost inevitable.
Ziwan tilted her head back, her clear eyes darting back and forth between Qing Si and Maitreya, trying to understand the profound meaning in the adults' words.
"This matter... I need to consider it."
Miroku took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart for the time being. His tone turned slightly reproachful as he glared at Kiyoshi.
She recalled that Kiyoshi had ignored her for quite some time after returning to Konoha from Sunagakure earlier, and mentioning it now made her slightly annoyed.
For someone as beautiful as her to do such a thing is almost like a holy saint turning her head.
The unique nature of the priestess's chakra gives Miroku a transcendent and noble aura.
Given her age and figure, Kiyoshi even had the idea of psychic abilities...
"Speak, what are your requirements?"
Kiyoshi picked up the scalding hot tea in front of him and drank it all in one gulp without changing his expression, as if he felt no heat at all.
"Won't it get hot?" Ziwan muttered to herself, her eyes filled with admiration as she looked at Qing Si.
She lowered her head and gently blew on the steaming tea in front of her, trying to cool it down quickly.
I'd better just wait for the temperature to drop.
"Let Ziyuan enroll in the Ninja Academy."
Maitreya opened his mouth.
"You want her to become a ninja?"
"It's better than being a fallen priestess, isn't it?"
Maitreya gave a bitter smile.
After everything that happened, she realized that only power could protect her.
"I will arrange this matter; it just so happens to be the time for the new enrollment."
Kiyoshi said.
In that case, it would be the same year that Hinata, Naruto, and Sasuke enrolled in school.
Some of the Konoha 12 are older than the original story and have long since attended the Ninja Academy, so they can't be in the same class as Naruto.
However, there are still some who, due to the butterfly effect and by chance, are still able to be classmates with Naruto and Sasuke.
"Then who will take care of Aster?"
"I will stay here until Ziyuan adapts. There are no urgent matters in the Land of Demons that I need to deal with at the moment."
Maitreya spoke.
The daimyo of the Land of Demons is ill, but he still has so many officials under him who can maintain the normal order of the Land of Demons and allow his people to live and work in peace.
"Is that so? That's fine too."
Kiyoshi agreed.
He also wanted to see how far Shiwan, with her exceptional talent as a shrine maiden, could go on the path of a ninja.
Just then, Kiyoshi's mind stirred slightly, and a new entry appeared before him.
"You have mastered the entry: [Konoha's Shrine Maiden (Purple)]".
[Entry: Konoha's Shrine Maiden (Purple)]
[Requirement fulfilled: Take in the next generation of shrine maidens in the village.]
【Progress: (Completed).】
【Effect:
The effect of your shrine maiden sealing spell is increased by 100% on top of the original effect.
Your speed in developing new priestess sealing techniques has increased by 100%.
You have a unique understanding of sealing techniques. Unlike traditional sealing techniques, your sealing techniques possess a demon-slaying effect, with the demon-slaying effect contained within your chakra increased by 100% on top of the original.
【Note: You can continue to advance later. 】
Long ago, Kiyoshi obtained the entry "[Reincarnated Shrine Maiden (Blue)]", which was a result of his initial mastery of the shrine maiden sealing technique.
This gives his sealing technique the effect of slaying demons, increasing the demon-slaying effect contained in his chakra by 40%.
With the newly acquired effect, the total effect is now 140%.
Kiyoshi instantly felt a warm sensation in the chakra flowing within his body, as well as in the newly refined chakra, as if some changes were taking place.
"In this way, my ability to suppress tailed beasts and similar beings will be even stronger."
Qing Si pondered to himself.
He thought of the God Tree People in "Boruto" who could use the power of the Ten-Tails while maintaining human form. Conventional methods were difficult to use against them, and the Sharingan was not very effective against them either.
With the current enhancements, Kiyoshi's chakra will be even more effective at suppressing them.
After all, the Divine Tree and the Tailed Beasts share the same origin and are two sides of the same coin.
If such an enemy were to actually appear, Kiyoshi wouldn't be so overwhelmed and helpless.
But now, his chakra will be more targeted.
"Ok?"
Miroku, being a priestess, keenly noticed this.
She noticed that Kiyoshi, who was opposite her, also seemed to possess a somewhat transcendent and noble air.
Just like Kiyoshi also has the chakra of a priestess.
How is that possible?
Kiyoshi could only learn the shrine maiden's sealing technique at most; how could he possibly possess their chakra as well?
That's a creation that falls into the category of bloodline limits. Kiyoshi, a half-Uchiha and half-Yotsuki, couldn't possibly possess it.
The priestess's bloodline has never been leaked out and has always remained in the land of demons.
"what happened?"
Kiyoshi noticed her subtle reaction.
"No, it's nothing."
Maitreya composed himself.
"Then we should talk about cooperation."
Qingsi smiled slightly.
"Hinata."
Kiyoshi called out to the courtyard outside.
Hinata, hearing the sound, quickly ran over.
"Teacher Kiyoshi, is there something you need?"
Hinata's forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, clearly indicating that she was training.
"Take Ziwan to play in the courtyard for a while. I have important matters to discuss with the priestess."
Qing Si gave the instructions.
"Yes, Professor Kiyoshi."
Hinata obediently responded, changed into her indoor shoes, and came in.
Ziwan raised her head and looked at Maitreya with a questioning gaze.
"Go."
Maitreya's expression was somewhat unnatural, but she concealed it well.
As the two girls left hand in hand, leaving only Kiyoshi and Miroku in the room, the atmosphere seemed to become somewhat awkward.
"it is good."
Aster nodded.
Compared to being between Miroku and Seiji, it's definitely easier to be with a little girl of the same age.
After the two little girls left, only Seiji and Miroku remained in the room.
"You still want my priestess chakra?"
Miroku asked.
Many years ago, Kiyoshi took away the precious treasures from her magical artifact, which could store a large amount of priestess chakra.
It means that it needs to be replenished every once in a while.
"No."
Qingsi shook his head.
Kiyoshi has already used the "Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation" to integrate the gem he obtained from Miroku into his ninja sword, Kurorin.
Black scales also have the effect of slaying demons.
However, Kiyoshi's chakra has now been altered, and he plans to input some of his own chakra into it to see the effect.
"I would like to discuss with you the cooperation between the Land of Demons and Konoha."
Qingsi spoke.
The Land of Demons borders the Land of Swamps, and there are many swamps within its borders.
Those swamps produce a special raw material that can be used as part of the "Chakra Armor".
"Cooperation...you name it."
Maitreya listened as Qing Si explained some detailed matters concerning the cooperation.
She understood all of this, and sometimes she would handle the affairs of the Demon Kingdom, but most of the time she stayed in the shrine, fulfilling the duties of a shrine maiden.
Qing Si began to elaborate on the cooperation plan in detail, from resource extraction and trade routes to technology sharing, in a clear and organized manner.
Maitreya nodded or asked questions from time to time, showing her knowledge of national affairs.
In the end, we inevitably started talking about other things.
Qingsi looked at Miroku.
Miroku was still dressed as a priestess.
The red and white striped sleeves gleamed softly under the light.
