Chapter - 44 Opportunity

Seeing Moryo trying to escape in the soul form, Miko-sama was suddenly panicked, "Hurry up and stop it!"

If Moryo's soul manages to escape then the purpose of sealing would be useless, and there would be endless trouble in the follow-up.

...…...whoosh...…

Even before Miko-sama spoke, a sharp sound of cutting through the wind was heard.

The sound was the result of Shisui throwing several shuriken towards escaping Moryo!

Although they were accurately targeted nonetheless all of them passed through him and didn't cause any substantial damage to Moryo's soul, which wasn't anything strange either; after all, how can something like shuriken with a physical state affect Moryo's soul that is a pure amalgamation of evil chakra!

Seeing the attack being ineffective Shisui's expression sank, although he wanted to use another attack it was already too late as the soul of the demon was far out of his range not mention his attacks seemed to be ineffective on Moryo.

Within just a few moments, Moryo's soul was already near the entrance of the cave.

Seeing the situation turning for worse, Kuroto gritted his teeth and decisively used Rein wheel Pull, suddenly the madly laughing Moryo in the soul state who was almost close to escaping the fate of being sealed stagnated, as if being firmly grasped by an invisible pair of hands he couldn't move anymore, even if he is a combination of evil chakra in the soul form; being under the effect of Rein Wheel interaction he wasn't able to break free!

"If I really…. Haah…haah… let you escape then wou-cough-cough…wouldn't I have put this much effort in…. cough-cough-cough…. in vain!!!?" With much difficulty, Kuroto muttered and restarted using the secret technique of Physical Regeneration to obtain chakra, as a result of which he was able to increase the chakra input in Rein Wheel Pull to drag Moryo's soul towards him.

With the improvement in strength that Kuroto has experienced in the past few months the effective range of his Rein Wheel interaction from 15 meters to 20 meters and this improvement isn't just quantitative but also qualitative, that is to say within a range of 20 meters with him as the center he can have complete control over interaction force.

So, being able to escape from this attack was no longer an option for Moryo.

As Moryo's soul slowly got pulled towards Kuroto, Miko-sama took out a wooden box from the storage scroll and used printed several Fuinjutsu techniques on it to make it suitable for containing Moryo's soul.

"NO!............ Please no…...! NnnnnnnoooooooOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo!!!!!!!!"

In the soul state without the protection of his physical body, he couldn't resist Miko-sama's sealing and with the last unwilling roar, he was completely sealed in the wooden box.

Seeing that it was finally over, the three slumped on the ground and sighed with relief.

At this time all three of them are extremely exhausted both physically and mentally.

Miko-sama performed several Fuinjutsu technique one-after-another that took a lot out of her, especially the final Fuin techniques that sealed away Moryo's body exhausted most of her chakra, and put a lot of burden on her both physically and spiritually, so even if she didn't personally intervene in the battle her consumption is no less than others.

Shisui's situation is not any better, having awakened the Mangekyou at such a young age already puts a lot of burden on him before he grows up and his Mangekyou evolves into eternal Mangekyou, additionally, he used Susanoo to suppress Moryo so his consumption was far greater than he could have imagined.

As for Kuroto, his condition is the worst of all, he even had to rely on the Secret Technique of Physical Regeneration to overcome his lack of chakra in the battle, so his life span was also shortened by at least 2 to 3 months.

Nevertheless, this is still the best situation considering just how strong Moryo's actual strength is, if not for the trap and ambush method their win would have been difficult to imagine.

After a short rest, Miko-sama sincerely thanked Kuroto and Shisui: "I am really grateful to both of you; I cannot imagine the consequences that might have happened if Moryo somehow managed to escape!"

Miroku was grateful to both Kuroto and Shisui from the bottom of her heart. Originally, she thought that only by using her death as a catalyst would she be able to successfully seal the Demon; but because of Kuroto and Shisui's help things turn down quite smoothly.

After putting away the Kazekage puppet, Kuroto nodded to Miko-sama, "I have done what I promised!"

Miko-sama also nodded, "Don't worry, I will also honor my promise!"

At this time Shisui also stood up and asked Kuroto curiously, "Kuroto-san, did you use puppet technique in the battle? And was the puppet using Magnet Release!!?"

Listening to Shisui's question, Kuroto decided to not hide it, and directly told the truth, "Well, it's a puppet obtained by pure coincidence and yes the puppet was using Magnet Release, as for why it can use Magnet Release, that's easy to answer, it's because it's a human puppet created from the body of Sandaime Kazekage's corpse."

"Wh-What!!!""

Not only Shisui, but even Miko-sama was also taken aback as soon as they heard this piece of information.

They couldn't help it either, Sandaime Kazekage, known as the strongest Kazekage became a puppet! If this is not shocking then translator-kun doesn't know what is!

"Hum! Sandaime Kazekage was killed and turned into a Human Puppet through forbidden techniques by a puppet master of the Sand Shinobi Village that became a missing-nin. Not too long ago, I accidentally encountered him in a battle and was lucky enough to have obtained the puppet by a chance of pure coincidence."

Kuroto briefly explained about his encounter with Sasori.

However, this information again surprised Shisui, "Kazekage-sama were assassinated by a ninja of his own village?"

Kuroto nodded, "Precisely because this information is highly confidential that I don't use this puppet often, moreover this matter also involves Sand Village's reputation, if revealed in public it would cause serious diplomatic issues, make sure to not reveal the puppet's existence else it would definitely lead to a conflict between Konoha and Sand."

Hearing Kuroto mention the seriousness of the information and it could elevate to a possible war between two of the five great Shinobi Villages Miko-sama and Shisui both solemnly promised: "We will never leak it out!!!"

Obviously, the reason why Kuroto dared to use Kazekage's puppet here because he is sure that neither Shisui nor Miko-sama would reveal this information to anyone else.

Miko-sama is the kind of good nature person who would rather sacrifice herself than let the Demon run havoc on the world additionally she is also indebted to him so she wouldn't reveal it.

As for Shisui?

Is there even a need to consider this?

Uchiha Shisui committed suicide to avoid becoming the fuse of war between the Uchiha and Konoha even after being betrayed by Shimura Danzo, he is someone who would definitely avoid doing something that would threaten Konoha's peace, and for the second reason Kuroto also knows about Shisui's Mangekyou, so in a way, they are both keeping a secret for each other.

And even in the worst-case scenario puppet's existence is leaked somehow, it wouldn't be such a big deal to hand it over to the village as a spoil of war, after all, it was just pure luck for him to have obtained it, it's not like he is the who killed the Kazekage, his only worry would be to effectively hide Tenseigan's existence.

Anyway, Kuroto decided to change the subject and asked Shisui, "So the rumors about there being an advanced form of the Sharingan called the Mangekyou Sharingan above 3-tomoe state is true? If I am not wrong you have awakened the Mangekyou haven't you Shisui?"

Shisui also didn't try to hide or evade the question and honestly answered with a smile, "Well, it is true, the technique I used to fight against Moryo is called Susanoo which the Uchiha's can use once their Sharingan evolves into Mangekyou Sharingan...."

As said before sharing one's secrets is undoubtedly one of the best ways to get closer to each other, after Miko-sama, Kuroto, and Shisui shared their individual secrets the friendship between them deepened a lot.

With all said and done, Kuroto decided to ask something from Miko-sama, "Miko-sama so what are you going to do with Moryo's soul?"

Miko-sama who was repeatedly checking the seal on the cubical Wooden Box that sealed Moryo's soul answered Kuroto's question absent-minded, "After repeatedly strengthening the seal, I am going to choose a suitable location in the Lands Of Demon to place to hide this box, that way Moryo's body and soul will be hundreds of miles apart, so his chances of resurrecting again will be minimal!"

Compared to the seal on Moryo's body, the wooden box sealing his soul isn't safe enough, according to Kuroto's guess that might have been one of the reasons he managed to get free in the original series, but since Miko-sama has stated that she would rearrange the seals on it and place it in a secure location, therefore, Kuroto decided not to worry much about it.

In fact, Kuroto's mind has long been past the Demon Moryo and he has already begun to wonder how to ask Miko-sama to teach him Miko's Fuinjutsu techniques.

After witnessing her seal Moryo, Kuroto has reached the conclusion that her Fuinjutsu mastery is undoubtedly among the best in the current Shinobi world.

If he missed this opportunity, then his artificial tailed beast plan may only remain a dream forever and Kuroto isn't willing to let that happen…
