Chapter 46
[Chapter 28 Encounter]
connected to hell…
Konan suddenly stopped, she thought about Shimazaki Ryo's words carefully, only to feel that the world was spinning for a while, and the outlines of the surrounding things swelled like monsters and monsters. After she regained her composure, everything returned to normal.
"Connecting to hell? Haven't any of you entered the cave?"
Shimazaki Ryo sneered and said, "Of course there is, but it's just an ordinary cave. You don't really think there is hell in this world, right?"
"Maybe." Konan didn't care about Shimazaki Ryo's disdain. After all, the number of people in the ninja world who know the information about the demons is only two digits. Most of them are high-level people in Mist Village or people like Pain who have personally fought with demons. .
And Shimazaki Ryo has nothing to do with the two, so it is normal to be skeptical about the existence of hell.
But Konan is different. She is very clear that hell exists. In that unknown world, a demon named the Holy Master is being imprisoned. The eight demonic energy is only one of his powers. , that will surely set off a catastrophe.
She stretched out her hand, and suddenly the dense paper flew towards the cave, and all of them submerged in it in a short while.
However, before Konan could take a closer look, he realized that the paper he put in suddenly disconnected from him as if he had encountered something.
Konan muttered to himself
"…It's really weird…but I don't know if it has something to do with the magical beast that absorbed the power of demonic energy."
For her, finding the entrance to hell or something is not the main purpose.
All the information about hell is unknown, what kind of powerhouse will there be on that side?
What kind of power does the devil have?
All this unknown is the source of fear.
Even Nagato with the eyes of Rinnegan doesn't want to fight the demons without knowing it, let alone her.
She went here this time, just for the demonic energy of that magical beast, that's all.
"What's the matter? You don't really find hell, do you?" Shimazaki Ryo asked Konan with a cautious look.
Konan glanced at him, did not speak, just continued to walk forward.
Looking for no fun, Shimazaki Ryo shrugged helplessly and continued to follow Konan.
Soon the two of them arrived at the opposite village. The village was dilapidated and there were obvious burn marks in some places.
"Flame…" Konan touched a scorched plaque, trying to recreate the scene of the monster attacking the village.
"In addition to being able to manipulate gravity, that monster also exudes flames and is invulnerable. It just ran back and forth in the village and destroyed 90% of the buildings."
Destroying the village easily, this monster may have the strength of the Jōnin level, and she quickly analyzed the information.
Of course, this village and Ninja Village are definitely incomparable. After all, Ninja Village is where the military power of a country is concentrated, and its area will never lose to a general big city.
And this village is really that kind of small village. It can be said that destroying a small village is quite easy for a Jōnin.
And the high temperature of Jōnin on the monster was a problem for others, but for her, who was good at using long-range attacks, it was not a big problem.
After thinking about it, Konan stood up slowly, raised his head and looked to the right, recalling the location of the roar he heard before and said, "That roar came from over there, you know what is there for the beasts there. Is it looking for a place to live?"
"This is the edge of Lieduo Kingdom, where there are few people. It is not surprising that there are beasts. But the direction you are pointing in is indeed a bit of a coincidence. If I remember correctly, there is a temple that has been abandoned for a long time."
"temple?"
"It existed a long time ago,
It is rumored that it was built to suppress the hell below, but after so many years, there are no monks in it, and it was completely abandoned before I was born.
"
"Just go there."
Konan ordered casually.
"…I'll say it first, if I really encounter that monster, I can't help much."
Shimazaki Ryo muttered a few words, but after realizing that Konan didn't listen at all, he could only helplessly follow.
......
Shisui sat by the campfire, and after a short rest he was fully recovered.
For ninjas, even if they don't eat and sleep for three days and three nights, it will not affect their combat ability. No matter how tired they are, they only need a short sleep to recover their spirits. Now Shisui can be said to have completely recovered their combat effectiveness.
Suddenly, his ears moved, and he said alertly, "Senior Inabi, did you hear footsteps?"
footsteps?
Inabi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became alert. Sure enough, he heard obvious footsteps. Judging from the sound, it should be two people.
"I'll go out and have a look." Shisui volunteered.
As a Uchiha clan who awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, Shisui's strength can be said to be second only to the patriarch Uchiha Fugaku, so he consciously went out to investigate.
In this way, if something really happens, he also has the power to subdue the opponent or ask the opponent.
"Well, be careful."
Inabi naturally understands this, so he is not proud of being a senior at all, but agrees to Shisui's request.
Hearing the answer, Shisui stood up, opened the door, and took two steps forward to the courtyard, waiting for the sound of footsteps that were getting closer and closer.
Three meters…
two meters…
one meter...
Just as that person was about to appear in Shisui's sight, Shisui's eyes widened, and the Three Tomoe Sharingan opened!
However, what appeared in front of Shisui was not a flood beast, nor a monster, but a young woman and a fairly young…blind man?
Looking at Shimazaki Ryo's tightly closed eyes, Shisui suddenly felt that this combination was weird…?
He didn't know what to say for a while, after all, the two of them didn't seem to have anything to do with "monsters" and "trouble".
Fortunately, it didn't make him embarrassed for too long, because soon the blind man spoke up, and he asked with some doubts
"who are you?"
He was talking to him, but Shisui was not surprised.
He had long heard that people with vision loss would be strong in other areas, like hearing?
He could rely on the strength of the ninja to detect that two people were approaching, so it was no exaggeration that the blind man could hear the breathing of the four of them relying on exercise.
"We are passing travelers. We originally wanted to go to the Land of Winds, but it was late when we passed by, and we found that the temple was uninhabited, so we wanted to sleep here for one night and leave tomorrow morning. What about you? Who are you?"
"I am a villager nearby. I happened to leave the village before an accident, and I was able to come back just now." Shimazaki Ryo rubbed the back of his head
"Nearby villagers?" Shisui raised his brows in surprise.
"Well, due to some reasons, our village was destroyed, so we can only come here to stay for one night. But there are other rooms here, and it won't disturb you."
"Ah? Oh, good!" Shisui nodded.
At this time, Konan turned his head and said in a somewhat threatening tone.
"It's not very safe around here, you have to be careful…"
