Chapter – 41 Don't just stare in a Daze

Kuroto sighed and stepped forward to lift Miko-sama who bowed to them in dogeza because of her guilt. "Now is not the time to feel guilty or repent, once Moryo is successfully sealed you will have all the time in the world to redeem your sins."

Miko-sama nodded silently while Kuroto took a glance towards Shisui and continued after giving him a tacit nod, "Miko-sama, we may be using forbidden techniques to suppress the Demon, we hope that you can keep the information about them a secret."

Miko-sama solemnly promised Kuroto and Shisui, "Please be assured, I swear not to reveal any information to anyone!"

With her promise, the estrangement between the three disappeared.

Following this discussion, Miko-sama got busy with the arrangements for sealing the demon while Kuroto and Shisui analyzed the surrounding terrain to have an in-depth understanding of the battle site to use it for their advantage.

Being in the belly of the mountain with an active volcano makes the area around extremely dangerous with boiling lava everywhere, even a little bit of carelessness would lead straight to death by vaporization.

Therefore, combat here is extremely difficult not only for them but also for the enemy.

But from the looks of it, this isn't the first time Miko-sama came here because she is shuttling back and forth all around so easily while arranging the sealing techniques.

After looking around with the Tenseigan Kuroto reminded Shisui, "Surface rocks doesn't look very durable, make sure to pay attention to them while in battle."

Shisui nodded while observing the surroundings with the 3 tomoe Sharingan.

After a little while, Miko-sama completed all the necessary process, looking at all the symbols arranged around the mountain Kuroto exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "Miko-sama's mastery in Fuinjutsu is really something to look up to!"

Shisui also nodded, "As far as I know Miko's Fuin mastery is as strong and famous as the Uzumaki Clan, with the demise of the Uzumaki Clan; it would be difficult to find someone as proficient as Miko-sama in Fuinjutsu in the current shinobi world."

Suddenly Shisui thought of something muttered in sadness, "And being too famous is not a good thing!"

The Uchiha clan is the perfect example of this, with their high reputation, even the young children of the clan develop arrogant and domineering personalities, they even look down on the companions of the same village, which is one of the major reasons why the Uchihas are continuously isolated from rest of the Konoha.

However, Kuroto wasn't thinking of these things now but seriously considering how he can seek more assistance from her for his plan.

According to the scroll given to him by Orochimaru; the sealing techniques account for more than 70% of the process, and lack of source material has led to a lack of Fuinjutsu knowledge. This point has become a serious problem for him considering the importance of Fuinjutsu in most of the rituals and techniques.

Therefore, the existence of Miko-sama with such high proficiency in Fuinjutsu is an impeccable treasure for Kuroto.

But considering her position, reputation, and prestige if he wants to learn something from her, Kuroto must consider his approach quite carefully else it might cause some diplomatic issues.

Kuroto was also trying to think of the result he might get from seeking Miko-sama's assistance:

In the artificial tailed beast plan, Konoha village used Uzumaki Fuinjutsu techniques. Although the Uzumaki clan has very high accomplishments in the field if he seeks extra assistance from Miko-sama then combining the Uzumaki and Miko's Fuinjutsu techniques may or may not give some unexpected results and that could also be of great benefit for him….

As Kuroto was mulling over the pros and cons, suddenly the ground shook.

.... shake. …. shake...….

At the same time, pieces of rubble from the surrounding walls and roof also fell on the ground and lava resulting in immediate vapourization.

...…whish...whish….

Miko-sama sitting at the center of the sealing formation said loudly, "He's here!"

Kuroto and Shisui glanced at each other and hid around the surroundings.

Not long after, accompanied by a loud rumbling sound, Moryo's humongous body came inside the cave in a flash.

"Miroku, you shouldn't refuse me!"

Moryo who blocked the entire entrance of the cave arched up and spoke in a sinister voice.

Miko-sama seemed to ponder over his words for a moment, then shook her head, "No! You are the wrong one!"

Moryo slowly approached Miko-sama while trying to entice her, "Unify with me, once our power combine, we will be the strongest, and the whole world will crawl at our feet, the Thousand Year Kingdom wouldn't be a dream anymore!"

"No! No! No!"

Seeing Miroku's continuous denial, Moryo still didn't take any action, but spoke loudly, "What are you worried about? You should be very clear that with our powers combined we will be unstoppable! What ninja!? What Samurai!!? Every one of them will crawl at our feet like the ants they are!"

"NO! Doing so will only bring infinite disaster and chaos to the world!" Miko-sama continued to delay the time by speaking in a loose tone. "You are being too arrogant!"

"Arrogant!?" Moryo snorted condescendingly while speaking in rage, "You are the one being too stupid! Did you forget who we are? Did you forget.... NO, what are you doing!!?"

Halfway through the conversation, Moryo instinctively felt an incoming danger to himself.

Seeing that the plan was revealed and Miko-sama couldn't delay any more time, Kuroto and Shisui immediately rushed out of hiding.

Before Moryo could react to the sudden appearance of the two, Kuroto shouted, "Shisui! Do it!"

As soon as Kuroto gave the order, Shisui closed his eyes and opened them again with three tomoe rapidly spinning as they blended together into a four-edged shuriken.

"SUSANOO!!" Without any hesitation, Shisui directly used the legendary Susanoo.

Following his shout, an emerald green humanoid avatar with a fiendish look and a red tomoe in the center of its chest made up of Shisui's chakra manifested around him.

The sudden appearance of Susanoo between Miko-sama and Moryo left both of them shocked as neither could have imagined the little guy with a cat mask could bring out something so majestic and horrifying.

The horrifying Susanoo Chakra made both of them aghast.

Since keeping Susanoo manifested would be very burdensome for Shisui, he didn't waste any moment and directly held the demon with all his strength, restricting any kind of movement.

Moryo was angered by how he was being treated and roared in fury, "Humble human, HOW-DARE-YOU............!!!!????????"

Boom…

As Moryo was again interrupted halfway through his words, only this time by a huge iron spear that fell from the sky, and fiercely inserted in his mouth, making the demon roared in pain and anger.

Miko-sama looked at Kuroto hovering in the sky with a stunned look on her face.

At this time, Kuroto was standing on an iron sand platform, hovering in the midair, and beside him, there was a strange ninja covered in bandages from head to toe with a pair of iron sand wings on his back.

Seeing Miko's stupefied look, Kuroto faintly said with a prideful smirk, "Miko-sama, don't just stare in a daze…"
