Vol 2 Chapter 91 coming-of-age ceremony

In late January, on the day of the coming-of-age ceremony of the witch, the main line of the kingdom of ghosts, Ziyuan Castle already had a lively atmosphere.

Just like holding a large-scale celebration, many banners have been placed on the city streets during the day.

Make this winter look extra warm.

The personnel of the guard force are also distributed on the important hub passages of the city, planning the security issues on the way the witch is about to walk.

Although I don’t think there will be people in such a place, at this time, there will be any movement in Ziyuan City, but we should never underestimate the spontaneous curiosity of human beings. To prevent anyone from making trouble at this important celebration.

As the orthodox monarch of the kingdom of ghosts, the shrine maiden has an extraordinary significance for the rite of passage. It means that ‘God’s Domain’ will interfere with ‘human world’.’God’s domain’ will be connected with ‘human world’. At this time, he will also have the power to truly lead the country of ghosts.

Although the present country of ghosts has changed many things compared to the past, the core purpose has not changed, such as the recognition that the witch is the orthodox monarchy, and the fact that it can be hereditary… Even if everyone will be for the sake of each generation of witches of the country of ghosts. Who is ‘husband’ so confused.

However, if you really dig deeper, you might discover some terrifying facts that surpass human common sense.

As the Minister of Military Affairs of the Kingdom of Demons, and as the “father” of Shion, the main line of this generation, Shiraishi will naturally also attend such a celebration.

And it is very close to ‘daughter’ Shion, so keep following the manner.

First, it is to show the relationship between the two parties, get along well, and extinguish the thoughts that some people should not have. Second, it is also to ensure that the ceremony can be carried out smoothly, and act as a guard.

In the open and secret, Shiraishi could sense some people, staring at Shion with malicious eyes.

Sure enough, there are criminals who want to assassinate the witch.

Then, under the instructions of Shiraishi, the good son General Tu quietly dragged these attackers who were preparing to carry out ‘big news’ to the ground one by one, letting them engage in the idea of ​​’big news’ and directly die. in the abdomen.

There are fewer and fewer malicious eyes, which also means the passing of a fresh life.

For these guys who want to threaten the life of the sorceress, the monarch of the country of ghosts, Shiraishi has no idea of ​​trying them, and also knows that there is no point in catching them and interrogating them. It doesn’t matter who sent them, the important thing is There can be no surprises in today’s ceremony.

Salutes roared in the winter city and exploded in the sky.

At the moment when the salute roared, there was another gunshot, but it was overshadowed by the sound of the salute.

In the dark alley, a ninja armed with a long-range shotgun with a crossbow fell into the shadows. The blood liquid, the walls covered with shadows. The entire chest exploded, and something penetrated the body.

At a backlit corner of the building, Cai Wusheng picked up the sniper rifle silently, put away the shell of the sniper bullet, then disappeared from the corner, came to another place, and aimed at another person with the muzzle of the sniper rifle. Ninja ready to attack.

Waiting for the next round of cannon salute, that’s when the attacker died.”I seemed to have heard a strange sound just now…”In the crowd, Temari seemed to be in the salute and heard a different sound.

“You heard it wrong.” Kankuro put his hands behind his head and said.

Gaara tilted her head, her green pupils glanced indifferently at the location where Cai was hiding, and turned her eyes back calmly to look at the shrine maiden who was walking in the middle of the empty street.

He has no interest in the witches’ coming-of-age ceremony and all kinds of secret assassinations.

“It’s called Gaara… The vigilance ability is really strong, and it is more difficult than four years ago.” Gaara’s reaction is naturally within Cai’s observation.

Not only noticed the gunshots, but also determined his position, which made Cai slightly surprised. Immediately, he regained his indifference. As the salute exploded in the sky again, the sniper bullets shot out from the muzzle.

Without looking at the death of the attackers, Cai shifted positions one after another, scanned the audience with his white eyes, and eliminated these hidden ‘mice’ one by one.

Although I don’t understand why these attackers think that their frustrating hidden skills will not be detected, but Aya will not stop the action of eliminating ‘rat’.

Strictly speaking, Shion is slightly older than him and is his sister.

This coming-of-age ceremony belongs to my sister and cannot be destroyed by anyone. Let this group of ‘mice’ disappear in the dark.

For these ‘mouse’ who want to destroy the stability of the country of ghosts, he will not be soft at all.”A lot of people…I can’t see it at all.”

Looking at the head swinging in front of him, Ino, who was not tall, couldn’t see the scene inside at all.

If you want to take a close look at the miko of the land of ghosts, you can’t do that.

“I advise you not to bother, Ino, in this case, you can’t see inside.”

Dingji persuaded Ino to give up.

Dingji felt a little naive about Ino’s idea that she wanted to compare her beauty with the witches of the land of ghosts. Ninjas don’t focus on appearance, but on strength. Besides, how can a woman have a good snack ‘eat’?

“It’s impossible to say, look at my-”

Ino thought of something, and began to show his handprint, aiming at a figure in front, and was about to activate the art of turning his heart.

“Hey, don’t mess around!” Shikamaru immediately stopped Ino’s behavior.

This is not Konoha. If it is discovered by the guards of the country of ghosts, I don’t know what punishment will be imposed.

Moreover, in case of human life, it will end even worse.

For Shikamaru, the witches in the land of ghosts are nothing to see at all, and he really doesn’t understand why Ino is so keen on this aspect.

“But, if you don’t do it like this, you won’t be able to see it at all.”Ino is worried about this.”Why do you insist on this?”

Shikamaru asked helplessly.

“Because I heard that the witch of the land of ghosts is a peerless beautiful girl, no matter what, you should look at it from the front.”

Ino put his hands on his hips and said sternly.”Women are really troublesome.””What did you say?”

“Uh…I mean, don’t forget our mission. Didn’t you say that I came here today to find Sakura?”

Shikamaru hurriedly changed the subject, he didn’t want to be caught by Ino and lectured for a long time. It was annoying to death.”Sakura…Yes, Sakura!”

Ino also suddenly understood.

“Use your perceptual ninjutsu to know the location.”Shimaru said.”Understood.”

Ino nodded. Sakura is likely to appear at such an important event.

So, Ino let go of his perception ninjutsu and looked for Sakura’s chakra among tens of thousands of chakras.

Although it has been two years since I saw her, she will not forget Sakura’s chakra color and breath.

“Found it!”After a while, Ino exclaimed.”Where?”

Shikamaru asked quickly.

Dingji also stopped eating snacks and put the unfinished snacks into the ninja bag.”In this direction!” Ino took the lead and pushed the crowd away.

“Hey, don’t squeeze! You can’t see it anymore!””Which **** is squeezing around, give me some peace!””Who, who is touching my ass, ah, rascal! ”

Noisy voices, and the screams of women can be heard, constantly pouring into the ears from the side. Walking in the dense crowd is definitely a chore.

In this case, ordinary people will only disarm and surrender. But in the dictionary of ninjas, there is no word for surrender.

Even in this situation, he still walks like a fly, looking for ‘target’.”Not good!” Ino exclaimed suddenly.

“What’s wrong?””Sakura’s chakra is moving quickly.””Have you found us?”

The movement of the three of them was a bit loud, and Sakura was a ninja who was very attentive to the surrounding environment, so maybe he had already discovered their existence.

“Probably yes.”

Thinking of this, Ino couldn’t help but get anxious, and chased after Sakura’s direction.

Shikamaru and Dingji had no choice but to follow quickly. The scolding from the crowd seemed to grow louder.”What’s the matter, Father?”

On the empty street, Shion and Shiroishi walked in the middle of the team, with two dignified young witches leading the way, followed by the witches and a guard of honor composed of ninjas from the land of ghosts. The grand style has become the only focus of pedestrians on both sides.

The witch costume on Shion’s body is very luxurious, and the long loose hair has also been neatly combed.

There is also a gorgeous golden crown on the top of the head, even at a young age, it can highlight the majesty of the monarch.

Maintaining the extraordinary temperament that a monarch of a country should have, and after several days of rigorous training, the steady pace achieved quickly, Zi Yuan moved forward steadily in accordance with this rhythm.

Perhaps out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Shiroishi’s slightly tilted head, and Shion asked softly.

“It’s nothing but trivial matters.” The movement caused by the three of Shikamaru did not hide from Shiraishi’s eyes.

She was looking for traces of the girl called Haruno Sakura.

Shiraishi just paid a little attention to this matter, and looked away. After all, it was just a fight between young people. After realizing the gap in reality, he would naturally retreat.

He, the Minister of Military Affairs, is not going to personally come forward for this kind of thing.

On this day of national celebration, Shion’s coming-of-age ceremony is undoubtedly the most important thing today. As long as the ceremony is not disrupted, Shiraishi doesn’t care about the playfulness among children.

But if an outrageous move is made, it must be ‘disappeared’.

In order to ensure the celebration, there were 500 ninjas dispatched on the bright side alone, and he, the Minister of Military Affairs, personally went into battle.

As for the number of guards in the dark, it is more.

It is densely covered in all the surrounding corridors and blocks, and the operation to clean up ‘rat’ is launched.”However, it was really hard for you today.” Said Shiraishi, his eyes full of love.

Miko can look directly at the sight of human death.

Seeing so many human beings at once, needless to say, this is a very cruel thing for Shion, who has not yet been able to control his own power.

“It doesn’t matter, I’m used to this kind of picture…”

There were so many that it was impossible to even compare the scene of each person’s death. Shion’s face remained calm.

Looking at the respect and yearning on the faces of the people on both sides, it would be a lie to say that there is nothing touching. This is the existence that the priestesses of all dynasties have guarded. It is also an important thing that she will always guard in the future.

until the day of death.

The constant noise in the ears is completely different from the ethereal silence of the shrine. This is the unique breath of ‘human’.

Although Shion enjoys such a breath, she also knows that as a priestess, she cannot stay in such a place for long.

Maybe it’s the people who want to take a look here, things here, Shion’s steps forward can’t help but slow down a little, just to stop here for a while…

The noise is no longer, the atmosphere of industrialization has gradually disappeared, and the ‘parade’ has ended.

Besides the officials of the kingdom of ghosts, the ninjas and witches who accompanied him were the messengers of other countries.

The breath of the ‘human world’ gradually fades away, and the next step is to return to ‘God’s Domain’ to worship ancestors and declare to the witches of all dynasties.

The three Shikamaru are still chasing.

After finally chasing the crowd, there is no one here, the streets are empty, only the empty shops are still open.

“Here!”

Ino shouted, although he couldn’t find Sakura’s figure, but Chakra’s reaction was still in perception, not lost.

“Wait…” Just as Shikamaru was about to say something, Ino ran out first. Dingji took a breath and stood beside Shikamaru.

“What should I do, Shikamaru?”Dingji asked Shikamaru’s opinion.”What else can I do, continue to catch up.”

Shikamaru shook his head helplessly, catching up with Ino’s galloping footsteps, and chasing toward the deserted alley of the commercial street.

In fact, he really wanted to say that since Sakura’s first thought when she saw them was to avoid and recall everything in the past. Then, it meant that there was no trace of them chasing after them.

No matter what they say, they will never come back.

Therefore, instead of chasing it desperately, it is better to just give up.

It’s not that Shikamaru doesn’t care about this former comrade… It’s because he cares that he should let go of all this.

For them, and for Sakura, this may be the best outcome.

Even if they still live together in this world, there is a ‘barrier’ in the middle, enough to divide them into two worlds.

However, I still couldn’t say such words from Shikamaru’s mouth. It was too inhumane, and it would also hurt Ino’s heart.

Like a constantly working precision machine, cold-blooded, calm, rational, without the emotions that humans have.

Therefore, even though he knew that going on like this and meeting Sakura would not produce any good results, Shikamaru’s footsteps moved faster subconsciously.

“It’s right in front, she’s stopped!” Sensing Sakura’s chakra, Ino’s face showed joy. Within her perception range, Sakura’s chakra stopped.

“Wait a minute, the front seems to be…”

This time, Shikamaru quickly restrained Ino’s idea of ​​stepping forward.

Because the atmosphere of the building complex in front is very quiet, completely different from the lively scene on the commercial street.

Judging from the structure of the building complex, it is obviously a different residential area from the commercial street, and it is quite advanced.

Shikamaru has heard that this place is a residential area belonging to the army of the country of ghosts. It is completely different in nature from a residential area in the general sense.

Sure enough, before they could get close, at the entrance of this unimaginably huge residential area, two ninjas in the land of ghosts in black coats suddenly flashed in front of the three of them, intercepting them as strangers directly. down.

“Stop, it is forbidden to enter!”

Not to mention that the three of Shikamaru are strangers, not only have they never seen each other as a ‘guardian’, but the Konoha ninja forehead guards worn by the three of them, breaking into such a place as their identities, is obviously against the rules.

“What, who are you guys?” Ino eagerly wanted to rush over.

One of the ninjas immediately pulled out the ninja sword behind him, and in a flash, the tip of the blade was in front of Ino, and her pupils quickly enlarged.

A cold sweat fell from Ino’s forehead.

Looking at the ninja sword so close, Ino couldn’t help but flash a hint of fear in his eyes.

“Are you ninjas from Konoha? Sorry, there is a forbidden area ahead, please don’t increase our workload, go back.”

Another ninja from the land of ghosts came over, a young woman in her twenties, with a slightly better attitude than the male ninja next to her, but she also expressed a clear rejection in her words.

Then, she pressed down the ninja sword in the male ninja’s hand.”But…”

Shikamaru patted Ino on the shoulder, stood in front of Ino, and explained to the two ghost country ninjas: “Well, in fact, we are old acquaintances with the sakura-haired girl who ran over just now, if possible, Can you pass it on for us?”

“Ah, do you mean the daughter of the Haruno family?” The female ninja tilted her head and asked aloud.

As doormen, they know the names and locations of all the residents in this military residential area.”Yes.” Shikamaru nodded affirmatively.

The female ninja pondered for a while, then nodded in agreement and replied: “I see, then you wait here for a while. However, I can’t guarantee that the other party will come out to meet you.”

“Thank you.”Shukamaru politely thank you.

She gestured at the male ninja next to her with her eyes, and the female ninja flickered and walked towards the Haruno house in the residential area.

Not long after, about half a minute, the female ninja returned here.”Sorry, the other party doesn’t seem to want to see you.”The female ninja informed this.

“What?”Ino’s eyes widened in disbelief.”It’s true.”

The ninja answered patiently.

Ino looked towards a certain direction in the residential area, biting his lip, with a strong unwillingness and confusion.

Shikamaru sighed, patted Ino on the shoulder, turned around and said: “Forget it, Ino, since the other party doesn’t want to see us, there’s no point in staying here, let’s go.”

It’s not that he can look away, but the reality in front of him, he must make a choice that conforms to the position of Konoha Ninja.

“Are you going to give up like this?” Ino asked. Leaving like this made her unacceptable.

“What if you don’t? Like Naruto, do you want to bring people back to Konoha no matter what? When Sasuke leaves Konoha, you should understand that this is absolutely impossible.”

Shikamaru replied like this.”…” Ino was speechless, not knowing how to refute.

“But, Sakura is our companion…”

“It was in the past, it is not now, and it is impossible in the future. Ino, I don’t want to repeat some words a second time, don’t forget, you are a Konoha ninja.”

Shikamaru stared at Ino’s eyes tightly, causing Ino to take a step back in fear.”I…I see.”

Ino had no choice but to obey Shikamaru, and when he turned back, he looked in a certain direction with nostalgia.

She knew that in that place, Sakura must be paying attention to the movement here.

Looking at the back of Ino leaving in a state of despair, Dingci was silent for a while, and said: “Shukamaru, you’re not feeling well. You’ve been keeping all kinds of things on your mind recently.”

“This kind of thing, who knows. Maybe, this is the trouble that ninjas will inevitably experience in the process of growing up. We are no longer the chicks who just graduated from the ninja school. If we want to become the backbone of the village in the future, we cannot Naive. Originally there is a naive fool, enough trouble, if everyone becomes like this, Konoha will be finished directly…”

Shikamaru sighed and walked away. Dingci followed silently. At the window on the second floor.

The girl with long cherry pink hair looked at the distant backs of the three of them, and lost her senses for a while. There was a murmur in her mouth: “Sorry, Shikamaru, Ino, and Dingji, now I have… ”

“So, next, where to start, Big Brother Scorpion?”

When he came to the sky above the northern border of the Land of Winds, Deidara, who was standing on the white bird, looked at the endless desert below, and asked Scorpion who was standing beside him.

Scorpion is originally a ninja of Sandyin, and he is most familiar with the environment of the Land of Winds. With him as a guide, it is absolutely possible to capture Ichitoujitsu with half the effort.

Scorpion holds a map.

The territory of the Land of Wind has changed a lot compared to when he left Sandyin.

After the war of the Kingdom of Wind eight years ago, a large area in the northwest of the Kingdom of Wind was ceded to the Kingdom of Ghosts.

During the fourth ninja war two years ago, some resource areas in the desert were also temporarily ‘borrowed’ by the land of ghosts.

No matter where you start, you can’t involve the country of ghosts.

After all, the military power of this country is too strong, and it would have been very troublesome to capture the one-tailed man and pillar force. If this terrifying country is involved again, it is likely to cause strong interference to the capture of the tailed beast.

Therefore, it cannot be done within the jurisdiction of the land of ghosts.

Soon, Scorpion used a pen to encircle a piece of land on the northern border of the Land of Wind.

“Remember that there is a workshop base that I abandoned in the past. If it is not discovered, it should be able to use it. And here, it is also the place where Ichito Ryuji will return to the land of wind. At that time, we will be here. ambush.”

Scorpion said.

“Brother Scorpion, why did you learn from the Orochimaru guy and punch holes everywhere? Hmm.”Deidara instead paid attention to this issue.”Shut up, or I will kill you, Deidara!”

Scorpion raised his brows, and his voice suddenly became cold and rude. It was obvious that he was an extremely handsome young man.”Got it.”

Deidara closed his mouth aggrieved.

He is obviously a handsome young man, but his temper is still as irritable as ever. Is this kind of contrast art popular recently?

“In addition, the place where Ichiu is sealed is in the country of grass. The stronghold used for the seal there is already prepared. However, after taking into account the capture of Ichiro, there will be troops from Sandyin Village…so , to make traps in advance and delay their rescue time.”

The scorpion said clearly.”How to divide the labor? Hmm.”

“I will do the traps on the way to the country of grass, and you will be responsible for the traps on Ren Zhuli’s side.” Scorpion turned his head and glanced at Deidara. Deidara agreed to nod without hesitation.

“No problem. Not only C3, this time I also specially prepared C2… It is very suitable for waiting for the prey to take the initiative to capture. Hmm.”

“Then, stop over there first.”

The scorpion pointed to a huge sand dune covered by wild sand in the desert in the distance.
