When Ji Xing appeared in front of him across space, Gamamaru was a little stunned, but his old face soon changed to a look of relief and joy.
"Ishiba Jizao, it has become more and more difficult for me to channel you the last few times. I guessed that this day is not far away. It seems that my mission of helping you establish a connection with the goddess Kaguya has been completed. I can finally return to Miaomu Mountain.
Now we can finally talk about old times."
"Reminiscing about old times?" Ji Xing looked at it in confusion: "Haven't we reminisced about old times many times before? Still doing so?"
Gamamaru closed his eyes: "No. It's been almost three years. Every time I channel you, you are eager to find Kaguya, and then tell me that we must talk together next time."
"You are slandering." Ji Xing laughed and said, "Isn't this how we reminisce about the past?"
Toadmaru was startled. It seemed reasonable?
"Well, let's not talk about it for now. I'll go find Kaguya and take you back to Mt. Miaomu later."
"..." Gamamaru was silent, watching Ji Xing twinkling and disappearing, muttering something unknown.
…
In the castle, Kaguya's white eyes couldn't help but look at Ji Xing who suddenly appeared in front of her.
In the past two years, she has experienced firsthand that every time Ji Xing comes back, his strength will improve significantly, but this time is different.
This time Ji Xing just stood in front of her, and she could feel a vigorous power, which felt like... just like when she just ate the fruit, her life essence jumped up!
Have you finally come this far?
Watching and helping Ji Xing grow from an ordinary person to this level, she had an indescribable feeling. Unfortunately, she didn't understand what 'nurture' meant.
Ji Xing smiled and said: "My Lady Goddess, let's go outside to discuss and learn from each other?"
This is something the two of them must do every time. Of course Kaguya will not refuse this time. She said hello and the two soon went to the castle to start a fight.
The crackling sound of collision soon reached the ears of the nine tailed beasts on the first floor of the castle. Some of them were sleeping and some were playing cards. When they heard the sound, they neatly put their heads to the window.
"Huh? Father is here?"
"Why didn't you feel it this time?"
"My father is competing with my mother again. Are we going to watch the battle?"
"Don't go. Every time I go to watch the battle, I will be knocked unconscious by the aftermath. Sometimes I will be fainted for several days. Mother, really, I can't beat my father in a sparring match, so I use so much strength, and I don't know that my father hurts me."
It doesn’t hurt…”
"Hey, Shukaku, how dare you complain about mother, I want to tell her!"
"Damn it! You guy..."
A few little guys started laughing, and then suddenly a strong wind blew on them, ruffling their hair, and at the same time, a dull collision sound in the distance cracked the ice crystal window!
"Huh? Why is it so fast this time..."
Dongdongdongdong——
Then the muffled sounds of collisions focused their attention, and they saw the fists and elbows of their parents in the distance colliding rapidly like attacking enemies, strong winds shooting out, and the falling snowflakes surrounding the two of them filled the air, forming a graceful ball.
Flying like petals, completely shattering all the windows of the castle!
Amidst the crackling sound, the two figures quickly floated into the sky, fighting non-stop, until they hit each other high in the sky. The nine tailed beasts looked at each other, and hurriedly ran out of the castle and looked at the sky.
Two thousand meters above the sky, Ji Xing and Kaguya were suspended relative to each other. Ji Xing condensed a sword of yin and yang escape with his hand, and Kaguya found the ashes of a common killer.
"Kendo-Flash Cut!"
"Kendo-Nifu!"
One slashed down from above, and the other picked up from below. The two weapons cut through the air and made a crisp sound, causing Kaguya's white hair and white robe to flutter, and Ji Xing's black robe to flutter!
Buzz——
As the blade trembled, circles of black impact ripples surged out, cutting off the falling snowflakes and turning the ice and snow space into two colors!
Ji Xing, who was at the center of the collision, smiled, Kaguya also slightly curved the corners of her mouth, and the nine tailed beasts below all opened their mouths and lined up in a row to look cute.
"It's amazing, Father...even more powerful than that time when he led us to fight!"
"Is it my mother who will be defeated this time?"
"Impossible! Mother is the most powerful!"
"But Father is also very powerful!"
"That's not as powerful as Mother!"
Kyuubi listened to the childish argument between his younger brothers and sisters, curled his lips in boredom, and concentrated on watching his parents fighting swords in the sky. The fierce and evenly matched battle continued, and after a few minutes, some ideas collided in his head.
'In this case, father won't need my help next time when we face a strong enemy... This is good. Being drained of chakra is uncomfortable... Well, this is indeed good...'
It suddenly turned its head angrily: "It's so noisy! Can you guys watch quietly?"
The other eight were stunned, looking at each other, and were about to form a group to resist the Kyuubi, when suddenly a strong sense of shock hit their hearts.
Their brains were dizzy and they fell softly.
'Again, here we go again...'
Why did you forget this? I was knocked unconscious by the aftermath of the fight between my mother and my father!
In the sky, the two men's fight had stopped.
Ji Xing tested his current level of strength - it was about the same as Kaguya who had just received his training, weaker than the main body, and much weaker than Kaguya who had absorbed a large amount of chakra from one to eight tubes, but it was already
Truly reaching the level of God!
Putting aside the improvement in chakra gained by Kaguya's recovery of the nine tailed beasts, I can basically compete with Kaguya on a par.
This is an important step for him!
Kaguya opposite was also happy for him. Unlike what she said before, "You are getting stronger, but it's not enough." This time she said: "Ji Zao, you have become strong."
Ji Xing smiled: "Whether it is strong or not, we have to go through more battles to verify it. My lord goddess, let's go on to the next battle?"
Kaguya pursed her lips slightly: "Okay."
The second battle lasted intermittently for two days before stopping. Ji Xing and Kaguya lay side by side on the top of the castle, looking up at the unique night sky in the space, emptying their minds and digesting the aftermath of the battle.
Kaguya enjoys coexisting and fighting with Ji Xing, but after the battle she always quickly returns to her cold demeanor as a goddess, and says rationally: "When you go back this time, are you going to start dealing with them? Your strength is probably enough."
, but if Otsutsuki is unblocked, you still won’t be able to do it now.”
"I know." Ji Xing said: "Don't worry, I have a way. But it's too early to say go back now. I will stay here for a few more days this time."
Surprise flashed in Kaguya's eyes: "Those people in the ninja world need you very much now, right?"
"No, it's not necessary. It's been almost three years. If you still want me to supervise everything, then I've failed." Ji Xing smiled and held Kaguya in his arms, and extended an invitation to fight again.
…
Ninja world, the city of fire.
The matter of the evacuation drill has been spread, and people are talking about it in the streets and alleys.
A certain restaurant, in a private room.
Mitani Masana looked at the ninja wearing a Konoha forehead protector across from him with a strange expression: "If I remember correctly, you should be the leader of the Konoha Gin clan, Bei Gin holding the staff, right? Why did you suddenly invite me to join you?
Lunch?”
Bei Gin held his staff in silence and said: "I am the secret line developed by Lord Shimura Danzo personally, and I am also one of the top leaders of the Goddess Cult who is most trusted by Lord Danzo. Our ancestors of the Bei Gin clan once followed Lord Shimura Yu to initiate that war."
I rebelled, and was killed by Ishiba Kizao himself. With such a relationship, even you don’t know my existence.”
Seeing Gu Zheng's name showed surprise.
Holding his staff, Nagigin continued: "I was probably the first one to pass on the news about Ishibaji's ancestor's resurrection to Lord Shimura Danzo."
When Gu Zhengming frowned, his body couldn't help but lean forward a little: "So you are looking for me today..."
"I'm here to persuade you to give up."
"...Huh?" Jian Gu Zhengming was startled.
"For more than two years, I have been observing in secret." Heyin sighed softly with his staff: "With the name of Ishiba Jisaya, the ninja world is indeed developing in a more harmonious and peaceful direction. Those ninjas with the blood of the goddess
I didn't get greater privileges, but suffered certain reductions. I think... if this continues, it won't be bad.
Although the hatred passed down from generations makes me want to think that Shi Poji has been pretending for a long time, but a disguise that can last forever is not a disguise.
So...I gave up.
Shimura clears his name. The battle that will determine the fate of the ninja world is about to come. You have not taken any action since the death of Danzo-sama. I think if you are going to do something, you can only do it at this time. No matter what it is, please do it.
Give up!"
He looked solemn and said: "Perhaps our Goddess Cult is wrong, and I have the responsibility to end all this. I have asked a close friend that if I lose news or die, a report letter will be sent to the Hokage.
Go on, so I hope you can take a good look at everything in the ninja world and give up, give up trying to 'clear up' Shimura's name!"
Seeing Gu Zhengming's face turned serious, staring at him, Bian Yin held his staff and looked at each other calmly.
Seeing Gu Zhengming suddenly smiled.
He clapped his palms, and two young men in Konoha ANBU uniforms suddenly flashed to the table, causing Hagage to stand up in shock with his staff in hand.
"You, you instigated the rebellion of Konoha ANBU?!"
"I was incited to rebel." Jian Guzhengming shook his head slightly: "When my father died, the Goddess Cult had five important secrets that were not handed over to me. I only know the five of you, but I don't know your identities. And you are the last one to come.
You are looking for me with roughly the same purpose, either to persuade me not to die, or to persuade me to give up."
Are you... being instigated to rebel? He Yin held his staff and was stunned for a long time, then suddenly laughed: "The religion was the first to rebel. It seems that we, the Goddess, really taught us wrong!"
…
This is a small episode and a small microcosm of the current situation in the ninja world.
During the evacuation drill a few days later, commanded by Nara Shikakuyama Chukaiichi, all ninjas took on their own posts to guide the civilians. More than 30 million people in the entire ninja world moved together. There was a small chaos, but no major problems. They worked together.
, let the exercise end perfectly!
Ji Xing, on the other hand, calmly stayed in the ice and snow space to fight Kaguya. He had been defeated countless times and wanted to gain the upper hand this time. Although he still ended up with a small loss, a small loss was no longer considered a defeat.
So he felt refreshed when he said goodbye to Kaguya - because the seals were broken one by one, the seals on Otsutsuki's lost body were constantly loosening, and the lost chakra was sealed in Kaguya's space, so as to avoid being too close to cause other
Due to unexpected events, Ji Xing cannot use his space ninjutsu to take her back for the time being.
But there is no rush in these ten or eight days!
"Goddess-sama, I'm leaving now. The next time I see you, I'll probably be in the ninja world."
Kaguya was leaning on the bed, with a rare lazy expression on his face, and nodded gently.
