--- Chapter 176 ---

"Oh... Great Warrior, I've been waiting for you."

The priestess gently bowed her body at Yunlong, which caused him to frown for a second.

"You've already used your divination technique, huh..." Yunlong silently commented, to which the priestess responded with a slight nod.

They have never met each other before, which means the priestess has used her technique to foresee the future.

Yunlong massaged his temple slightly and bluntly asked, "What do you mean by Brave Warrior?"

The priestess raised her gaze and quietly stared at Yunlong's eyes with a thoughtful expression.

"Let me introduce myself first." She gently said. "My name is Miroku. The high priestess of the land of demons."

"When you arrive in the land of demons. I have foreseen that you helped me seal the demon, Moryo." Miroku calmly continued.

Yunlong's frown deepened when hearing Miroku's statement, and he couldn't help but think something was weird.

"Moryo?" He asked with a confused tone.

Miroku released a sigh and slowly explained, "Moryo was a large dark demon who came from another world. Its purpose is to destroy the entire world and build a one thousand year kingdom."

"I'm the grand priestess of the land of demon have a duty to seal Moryo away." She firmly added, which left Yunlong in confusion.

Yunlong thought about a few things for a moment and looked back at Miroku. "Since you have foreseen the future, you should have seen my future three days later, right?" He asked.

"Yes." Miroku nodded. "I've seen you used a powerful lightning attack to subdue Moryo."

"However, I've also seen you dying."

"Eh? Me, Dying?" Yunlong responded with a surprised expression.

Without further ado, Miroku slowly told him about the future she had foreseen, and in that future, Yunlong helped her seal Moryo away, but with a price of him in a dying state.

She also perceived him moving toward a beautiful city with countless ruined buildings and met two black-haired people, who are probably Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto.

"Even though I have seen your future, that doesn't mean it sealed your fate. Future must have changed because you should arrive tomorrow, but here you are." Miroku calmly said while looking at Yunlong.

Clink! Clink!

A bell noise echoed in the house, and a young girl with pale lavender eyes and light blonde hair that fell past her waist entered the room.

"Mother..!" The young girl approached Miroku and happily hugged her.

She looked around and noticed Yunlong's presence. "Who's this person?" She asked with a clueless tone.

Miroku suddenly chuckled a little and gently answered, "Shion. He's our savior."

However, when Miroku was about to finish her entire statement, Yunlong suddenly raised his hand and said, "When did I agree to help you?"

"Eh?" Miroku looked back at Yunlong with a surprised expression.

She had foreseen Yunlong was quite a generous person from the future, but he was somewhat different currently, which shocked her.

The silence between Yunlong and Miroku quickly made the situation awkward, but this caused Shion to look at Yunlong with brightened eyes.

"Onii chan... Are you really our savior?" Shion asked while tugging Yunlong's clothes, which caused him to look at her with a complicated gaze.

Yunlong had never thought he'd be in this situation because this only happened in a cliche another world story.

'Haa... To think I was experiencing this, ridiculous.' Yunlong thought while releasing a sigh.

He gradually moved his gaze to Miroku and said, "Let's continue our conversation. I'll probably help you after I find my answer."

Miroku smiled widely and quickly grasped Yunlong's hand, looking at him with a grateful look even though he wasn't accepting her request yet.

They moved toward a room with a pleasant waterfall view, and Miroku prepared tea for Yunlong, which started their conversation.

Miroku told Yunlong everything about her mission as the grand priestess and how dangerous Moryo could have been if it didn't get sealed away from this world.

However, She hasn't finished her explanation, so Miroku also told Yunlong about the one last scene she saw in Yunlong's future.

"I've seen a woman's silhouette with long white hair in your future, and you're um... Crying." Miroku awkwardly said and stiffly moved her gaze away.

Yunlong's eyes once again widened and quickly questioned, "What? Me? Crying over that white-haired woman?"

Miroku could only nod awkwardly and shook her head slowly because she only saw a glimpse of that moment.

It could have been a mistake, but Miroku needs to grasp Yunlong's attention even more if she really wants his help.

They stared at each other's eyes for a good one minute, and Yunlong slowly nodded his head.

"Fine... I'll help you seal Moryo," Yunlong responded with a sigh, which brightened Miroku's eyes.

Even Yunlong couldn't help but wonder who that white-haired woman was. He at least knows the person's gender, which eases his mission a little.

'Well, I'm only a clone, so whatever.' Yunlong thought while inwardly shrugging his shoulders.

They continued about Moryo's sealing briefly, but a sudden movement of the ground caused Miroku to frown deeply.

"How...?" Miroku solemnly muttered.

"Did something happen?" Yunlong asked with a confused look because he sensed the ground just shifted slightly, which weirdly didn't create an earthquake.

Miroku looked at Yunlong with a grim expression and silently replied, "Moryo..."

"Have been awakened."

--- Akatsuki's Hideout ---

Yunlong suddenly received information about the land of demons and immediately frowned.

"What happened, Ghost?" Pain asked because Yunlong's expression suddenly changed like that.

Yunlong just had a sleepy look a few seconds ago, but he suddenly had a solemn expression on his face.

"I'll stop my sealing technique for a moment." Yunlong changed his hand signs abruptly, which caused everyone in the room to frown.

He quickly created one clone and teleported it to his other clone, who was in the land of demons.

Yunlong's action caused some people to look at him with a surprised gaze because he just created a clone in a span of a millisecond.

They didn't even have time to blink, and Yunlong had used the sealing technique again, which left Orochimaru speechless.

"How can someone have such perfect chakra control..." Orochimaru muttered while looking at Yunlong, who plainly released a sigh of relief.

'What's his secret?' He thought with a curious expression.

Yunlong looked at them and casually commented, "Let's continue."

Zetsu glanced at Yunlong with a calm expression, but inside he was panicked because this man is Uchiha Madara's younger brother, yet he's no less monstrous than that man.

'I should find a way to control him...' Zetsu bluntly thought while moving his gaze away, not realizing Yunlong had marked him.

--- Land of Demons ---

Miroku wore her priestess outfit and quickly moved toward Moryo's sealing place, several kilometers away from the temple where she lived.

Yunlong followed Miroku, and they arrived at a cave with a few weird stone statues, which seemed to stare at them for some reason.

"Those statues were Moryo's soldier, but they should be inactive," Miroku commented while solemnly looking at the cave opening in front of her.

"Hee..." Yunlong's eyes scanned every statue.

As they entered the cave and dwell into the depth of the sealing place, a powerful demonic presence abruptly burst out.

Clink!

A bell noise echoed from Miroku's hand, and a gentle purple light flowed through the cave.

"Let's go... We should seal Moryo as fast as we can." Miroku walked forward, which surprised Yunlong slightly because she used a different kind of chakra.

"...Oh?" A hoarse cold voice suddenly echoed inside of the cave.

"Miroku, It's been a while."

Miroku clenched her fist and muttered, "Moryo."
