"What happened?" The other ninjas quickly noticed the movement here and looked over.

Kakashi pointed at the attacking Suna Ninja and said solemnly: "That guy just attacked his fellow Suna Ninja."

The Suna Ninja who had fallen on the ground also stood up. The Suna Ninja Captain looked into his subordinates' eyes with a gloomy expression on his face.

The companion who had just attacked them had a distorted face and his eyes had turned a strange purple color.

"What on earth is going on?" Doubts arose in the hearts of the ninjas present.

At this time, the shrine maiden came over, looked at the attacking Sand Ninja, and said with a serious face: "Like the Underworld cultists, he is controlled by sprites, and sprites have the ability to control people's hearts."

After hearing this information, all the ninjas were silent. This mission was not that simple.

Hinata took a step forward and asked: "Miko-sama, is there any way to relieve or avoid being controlled by the demon?"

The witch said: "I can release the control, but it will take a lot of time and cannot be disturbed."

After hearing this, Captain Sunagakure's eyes brightened a bit, but Captain Iwa Ninja asked a sharp question: "Miko, if you help to release the control, will it affect the next seal?"

The witch was silent for a while and nodded slightly.

The miko's words caused the ninjas to change their expressions. If they affected the monster's seal, the surrounding countries would be threatened by the monster.

After pondering for a long time, Captain Sunagakure asked again: "Miko-sama, after the monster is sealed, will the person being controlled recover?"

"meeting."

After receiving the answer, Captain Sunagakure gave up letting the miko release the control, took over the lost comrade from Yamato, tied him up and controlled him.

Sunagakure and Sunagakure supported the Kingdom of Demons this time. In addition to worrying about the threat of monsters, the bigger reason was because of the large rewards from the Kingdom of Demons.

After defeating Konoha and losing a large number of missions, most of Sunagakure's resources came from the placer gold of the Fourth Kazekage.

And this mission is one of the few that offers a rich reward. After all, the miko of the Kingdom of Ghosts is the master of a country.

Captain Sunagakure's actions were seen by the ANBU team and Iwa Ninja. Although they were deeply moved, they also secretly insisted on their inner feelings and must not be controlled by monsters.

After what happened, the makeshift team didn't have much interest in dining and continued to move towards the Demon-Sealing Mountain.

It's just the ability of monsters to control people's hearts that casts a shadow in the hearts of ninjas.

While they were facing the entanglement of soldiers and warriors, they also had to worry about whether their originally reliable companions would be controlled by monsters and spies, and the pressure in their hearts suddenly increased.

Uchihara, who was protecting the miko mother and daughter in the center of the team, looked towards Hinata's hiding place from time to time.

Hinagazou became more and more indifferent to her. Although he didn't show any expression, he could no longer joke around.

There was a suspicion secretly rising in her heart, whether the power of the demon had begun to affect Zang and erode his mind.

But Zang's strength is superior to hers, and she is directly immune to the three magatama illusions.

How could such an illusion ability be affected by monsters and sprites?

Shaking his head, Uchibo tried to push away these distracting thoughts, but he still couldn't help but think about them.

I can only forcefully divert my attention and focus on the witches, mother and daughter, and possible enemies around them.

Soon, night fell.

The shrine maiden who is the object of protection senses the location of the monster, which is dozens of kilometers away, and it will take several hours to reach it.

After a tiring day, the ninjas could finally rest. Of course, the most important thing was that the miko and her daughter could no longer continue their trek.

Although the miko has the ability to seal monsters and sprites, her physical fitness is only that of an ordinary person.

Since the terracotta warriors were always threatening, the ninjas used earth escape and wood escape to scale a nearby cliff. They only needed simple attacks to stop the terracotta warriors from climbing.

The campfire was raised, and each team took turns to be responsible for the vigil. Their faces were solemn. No one knew how powerful the monsters were, nor what they would encounter tomorrow.

In the camp, Hinata Zou and Yin, who were staying with the miko, also rarely remained silent.

The miko seemed to sense that Hinata was hiding the demon chakra, but she didn't say anything more. She was just busy playing with the bell in her hand, as if she was recording some kind of sealing technique.

Shion, who was four or five years old, was already tired from the journey and fell asleep next to the miko Yahiko.

Hyugazo closed his eyes and carefully felt the monster chakra in his body. After the black pattern swallowed those monster chakras, he returned some extremely pure chakra to him.

Uchibo looked at Hyuga Zou quietly. She had already discovered that Hinata Zou was devouring demon chakra. Because of her trust, she did not ask any more questions. She just wondered what kind of chakra experiment Hinata Zang was conducting.

However, as Hinata's body became more aura of monsters, and the Suna ninja was controlled during the day.

She couldn't help but intensify her inner doubts about whether the people she knew well had been controlled.

After pondering for a while, Uchibo patted Hinata Zang's shoulder and asked in a low voice: "Zang, are you okay? Today is really a tiring day."

"I'm fine!" Hinata looked at Uchibo in surprise, "Why are you asking these questions all of a sudden? I've never been as well as I am now."

"That's good..." After receiving the answer, Uchibo nodded slightly.

After a long time, Uchibo asked in a low voice: "Zang, are you not controlled by monsters or sprites?"

Hinata smiled and said: "How could I be controlled by a demon? Although I am not strong, I am not the weakest either."

"Hmm..." Uchibo's voice gradually became smaller.

While Hinagazou and Uchibo were talking quietly, the miko Maitreya next to them did not make any move. She was recording spells with one hand and comforting her sleeping daughter next to her with the other.

At the gathering place of the Sand Ninja Team, the team members were on duty all night while paying attention to their bewitched companions.

Their team had much more complicated thoughts than the other teams. The Sand Ninja Captain looked worried as he looked at his bewitched subordinates and couldn't help but sigh.

He personally taught the subordinate who was bewitched, and it would be no exaggeration to say that he watched him grow up.

But during the day, in order to carry out the mission smoothly, he made up his mind and gave up the chance of the witch to release his control.

The reason is for no other reason than the reward for the mission.

After losing most of their missions and direct funding from the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, the number of Sunagakure ninjas gradually decreased, although the number of top ninjas remained unchanged.

However, the number of students in the most basic Ninja School has been reduced by half.

There are no clues yet, but it will definitely affect the future of Sunagakure Village. All this is because of the extremely harsh conditions signed with Konoha.

Recently, the only thing worth celebrating is probably the unrest in Kirigakure.

After the turmoil in Kirigakure, the fighting between the village and Kirigakure gradually ceased, and the village also had time to breathe.

At this moment, deep and seductive words sounded in Captain Suna Ninja's mind.
