Chapter 1270: Miko Shion
Boom!
The entire Fire Temple was on fire because of the explosion. Orochimaru stood in the center of the flames, looking at the two dying enemies with a cruel smile.
"Impossible, how can you use Deidara's moves?" The last heart left was hard to hide his shocked expression.
Hidan on the other side was in a mess, with his limbs and flesh torn apart. He was dissected like this by Orochimaru's newly created 'Snake Bite Sword Technique'. Even if he didn't die, he would have to endure severe pain and couldn't fight.
"I'm different now." He said a lot of clay wrapped the two people: "This ability is quite convenient."
Boom, the violent explosion destroyed the entire temple, half of the mountain disappeared, the forest turned into scorched earth, only Orochimaru stood alone, and even the immortal Hidan was burned to ashes.
"It seems a bit too much." He didn't control it for a while, and destroyed two experimental materials, but anyway, the genes have been obtained, and he can still study them when he takes them back.
Gone. A big black mouth suddenly appeared under Orochimaru's feet, swallowing him and the scorched earth into his stomach. It turned out to be Mansarovar. Orochimaru completed the skill of teleportation through spiritual summoning.
With Ryuchi Cave as the intermediary, you can go to any place where the spiritual summoning array is set.
The Fire Temple was attacked, and the Konoha ninjas naturally had to go, but in the end they only saw a ruin, but they still saved one person, a shrine maiden who came to the Fire Temple to exchange and learn.
"This is the shrine maiden Shion from the Demon Country, send her back to Konoha for rescue." In the mess, the Konoha ninja dug out a seriously injured woman.
The Fire Temple suffered heavy losses. Not only was the temple destroyed, but all the monks inside died. The last one rescued was a shrine maiden from the Demon Country. The Demon Country is a very small country with no ninja village. It is located at the junction of yin and yang and leads a peaceful life led by a shrine maiden who can seal ghosts and monsters.
However, for some reason, the young shrine maiden Shion suddenly proposed to learn advanced religious knowledge, so she came to the Fire Temple alone to practice despite the opposition of her subordinates.
Tsunade rescued her personally. The Demon Country is also an ally of Konoha, and the shrine maiden is equivalent to the leader of the Demon Country, so she still has some face.
"It's nothing serious. She will be fine when she wakes up. The burns on the outside are not serious." Tsunade said: "I hope she can tell us what happened after she wakes up."
The Anbu is investigating, but the Fire Temple is almost destroyed, and there is not even a complete brick. It is estimated that nothing can be investigated in a short time.
Shion, who was lying on the bed, had a dream. At that time, she was still young, and her mother was still very young. The demons and monsters who woke up from the underworld once again marched towards the human world. The Demon Country was about to be destroyed, and the ghosts were about to spread to the entire continent.
At the critical moment, Shion's mother stood up. At that time, she was a shrine maiden of the Demon Country.
The location of the Demon Country is at the junction of the underworld and reality. The responsibility of the shrine maiden is to seal the ghosts with her own life. Although this seal can only last for a few decades, the shrine maidens still use their lives from generation to generation to complete their mission.
This world has an underworld. People will go there after death and it is managed by the god of death. But some ghosts are unwilling to accept death and still want to escape back to the human world.
Ziyuan still remembers her mother's eyes, which were eyes that were ready for farewell. At that time, Ziyuan was very young and just cried. The mother handed Ziyuan the amulet representing the identity of the witch and left.
That time, the ghosts in the underworld were particularly powerful. Ziyuan's mother had no ability to seal them for decades, so in the end she planned to shorten the sealing time. Although this was unfair to her daughter, for the sake of the entire continent, Ziyuan's mother still had to do it.
But the development of the situation was not a tragedy, because a guest came to the Kingdom of Ghosts. When Ziyuan's mother was determined to seal, she took action.
Holding a sacrificial short knife, one sword killed a hundred ghosts, and one move destroyed a hundred souls. The ghosts and monsters that escaped from the underworld were actually wiped out by one person and one sword, allowing the Kingdom of Ghosts to gain a hundred years of peace and saving Ziyuan's mother's life.
Ziyuan will never forget that sister, but that sister left after living with them for a while. Ziyuan only remembers that the sister seemed to say that she gave her a gift before leaving. After growing up, Shion always wanted to find her sister. Later, she learned from her mother that her sister was very likely a Konoha ninja, so she always expected to find her.
But as a priestess of the Land of Demons, she had a heavy responsibility and never had the chance. Now she finally found an opportunity to come to Konoha in the name of exchange and study, but she didn't find her sister.
The memory of that time was already blurred. Shion only remembered that her sister's eyes were very special and beautiful like gems.
It has been a month since she came to Konoha. Except for the two days she stayed in Konoha at the beginning, Shion was reading scriptures in the Fire Temple for the rest of the time and had no time to find anyone.
When the Fire Temple was attacked, she was taken to the Sutra Pavilion by the monks to hide.
So after Shion woke up, she couldn't tell Tsunade any important information. She just saw from a distance that the enemy of the abbot was two people wearing red cloud cloaks.
It was Akatsuki. According to the information brought back by Kakashi, it was correct. But didn't Akatsuki capture the tailed beasts? Why did they attack the Fire Temple? Did they get wrong information, or was there any other reason?
"Thank you, Lady Shion." Although she is only a miko, she is equivalent to the head of a country, and her rank is the same as that of a daimyo, so the Hokage has to be polite: "You should rest well, we have contacted the people of the Demon Country, and they will come to pick you up."
"Hokage-sama, I want to ask if there is a female ninja in Konoha whose eyes are like rubies." The other party respected her, but Shion could not take advantage of her. The other party was the leader of Konoha Village. Although Konoha was of a lower level than her, he had greater power.
So Shion and Tsunade called each other adults, and they were in harmony.
However, Tsunade did not remember that there was such a female ninja in Konoha: "Are you looking for someone, Shion-sama? Is there any other information? If she is a Konoha ninja, I might be able to find her with more information."
There was not much information, only that she might be around 20 years old now and helped the Demon Country a few years ago.
Tsunade thought it was impossible. According to Shion's description, the female ninja was not yet an adult when she helped the Demon Country. Konoha did not have the rule of letting young ninjas travel far away: "Shion-sama, I'm afraid she is not a ninja from Konoha. We have no record of female ninjas going to the Demon Country for missions, let alone female ninjas."
Shion was disappointed. Even the Hokage said there was no one, so there really was no one. Maybe the elder sister just said that she passed by Konoha, not that she lived in Konoha.
"By the way, Lady Shion, do you know her name?"
"I know, her name is Saori, that's what she told my mother." Shion said, and then she saw Tsunade's delicate face change color, and her expression became subtle.
But this expression made Shion regain hope, her light purple eyes sparkled, and she looked expectant: "Lord Hokage, is she really in Konoha?"
Tsunade nodded dully, but she felt that it was not necessarily Duran's daughter, because the age did not match. Saori looked only ten years old, and she was just a child a few years ago. How could she go to the Land of Demons to help: "She is not a Konoha ninja, but Konoha does have a girl named Saori."
"Tell me where she lives, I want to see her." Sister Saori, finally able to meet again, Shion was so excited that she forgot the pain.
