Moryo did not recognize Yomi.
"I am Yomi, here to welcome Moryo-sama's return, to build the thousand-year kingdom together."
Yomi said in a deep voice.
"What about my body?"
Moryo asked. "Without a body, I will dissipate in minutes."
"My lord, your body is still in the sealed place, but it doesn't matter."
Yomi's expression was solemn and confident. "With my Dark Medical Ninjutsu, using my body as a vessel, you can move freely."
Then, he spread his arms, revealing the medical instruments under his coat and his bare chest.
He pulled out a sharp scalpel and, without hesitation, plunged it into his own chest.
The scalpel completely sank into Yomi's chest, but strangely, no blood flowed out.
Even when Yomi forcibly cut open his own abdomen, what was revealed was not his internal organs, but a chaos.
Using his original Dark Medical Ninjutsu, he had created a space within his own body to store Moryo's soul.
Otherwise, the unsealed Moryo's soul would dissipate into the world in no time.
"Come, Moryo-sama!"
Yomi held the clamps with both hands, spreading open his own chest to reveal that chaos, facing the Moryo in the shrine.
Then, a mass of black mist suddenly rushed out from the shrine and into Yomi's body.
The tremendous impact knocked Yomi back several meters, but he held his ground and didn't fall.
After Moryo had completely entered his body, he immediately sutured the wound, closing the huge gash almost instantly.
"Once we go to the Land of Swamps and retrieve Moryo-sama's body, the plan can restart. We will conquer the entire Shinobi World together and create the thousand-year kingdom!"
Yomi's face was full of fanaticism.
Gone was his previous calm and caution.
"Idiot!"
Moryo's voice echoed inside his body. "First, go kill the Miko of the Land of Demons. As long as the Miko exists, there is the possibility of sealing me again."
"We must eliminate all possibilities."
Moryo's words made Yomi anxious. "But..."
"You want to defy me?"
Moryo's words were full of threat.
In his eyes, Yomi was just a pawn, yet he attempted to stand on equal footing.
Although he had lost his body, killing Yomi was easy for Moryo.
"Yes, Moryo-sama."
Yomi lowered his head slightly, his expression somewhat helpless.
But there was nothing he could do… the one with power was Moryo, not him.
Then, Yomi, with Moryo inside him, left the underground palace. The four-person team waiting outside slightly bowed their heads, respectfully awaiting his arrival.
"Plan changed."
Yomi regained his previous calm. "Find the Miko of the Land of Demons and kill her."
"I will give you enough power."
Yomi raised his hand, and from his sleeve crawled several strange things, like snakes or centipedes, which burrowed into the body of the pink-haired one among the four.
"You are the only one among you who can control it. Use its power, go."
The four instantly disappeared from the spot.
Yomi looked up in the direction of the Land of Demons, his gaze grave.
"Before that, we need to cause some trouble for the five great nations, to keep them from bothering us."
As Yomi spoke, Moryo inside him immediately unleashed its power.
Countless terracotta soldiers rose from the ground, then neatly formed ranks, marching towards the five great nations.
They had no pain, would not retreat, and even if destroyed, would quickly recover – perfect soldiers.
Although unable to deal with powerful Shinobi, their characteristic of not fearing death, and their sheer numbers, allowed them to easily destroy any obstacle in their path.
As large numbers of terracotta soldiers appeared throughout the five great nations, they immediately realized something major had happened.
The Moryo of ten years ago seemed distant, but it wasn't that far away.
People like Kakashi remembered the incident that had swept across the continent.
This was also one reason the Land of Demons could remain a neutral country.
Because the Land of Demons had a special mission.
Without the Miko of the Land of Demons to seal Moryo, the Land of Demons would eventually be destroyed by it.
Even with their many top-tier Shinobi, facing an enemy that couldn't be completely eliminated, even the powerful five great villages had no way to deal with it.
Nations immediately sounded the alarm.
Naturally, Konoha also received the corresponding news.
"What a big trouble."
Hiruzen sighed. He had been woken from his bed and in the middle of the night reviewed the urgent intelligence sent back from the front lines, immediately realizing the seriousness of the situation.
Last time, the Miko had successfully separated Moryo's body and soul.
Having learned from last time, this resurrected Moryo would surely first eliminate the Miko.
Therefore, they must find the Miko and rescue her before Moryo does.
"Go, find Takumi, and also Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, Rock Lee, and Hyuga Neji."
Hiruzen immediately issued orders to the Anbu.
Currently, a large number of personnel in the village had all been dispatched to the front lines.
Against these clumsy terracotta soldiers, it was very easy for Shinobi to avoid getting hurt.
But wanting to eliminate them all was basically impossible.
What Shinobi could do was try their best to hold back the terracotta soldiers' advance.
Shinobi could easily counter the terracotta soldiers, but ordinary people could not withstand them.
Although it was the middle of the night, summoning them at this time definitely meant an emergency situation.
So everyone immediately arrived at the scene.
"Hokage-sama."
Takumi took the lead in greeting; Neji and the others also nodded in greeting to Hiruzen.
"Grandpa Hokage, is there a big move?"
Naruto eagerly stepped forward, his face full of excitement.
In the middle of the night, Shinobi were flying everywhere across the rooftops.
Even with Naruto's intelligence, he knew something big must have happened.
It didn't matter that something big happened; what mattered was that he could show off his skills and gain more recognition.
He hadn't forgotten his original purpose in becoming a Shinobi.
That was to become Hokage and have everyone in the village acknowledge him.
"Naruto, that's very rude."
Neji frowned and scolded.
"What's it matter."
Naruto didn't care, habitually squinting his eyes with his hands behind his head. "Anyway, Grandpa Hokage won't get angry."
"Hahaha."
Hiruzen chuckled, then became serious. "This mission is very urgent. Takumi-kun, you will lead the team. I'm counting on you."
"I will do my utmost."
Takumi didn't know what had happened yet, but as long as he wasn't fighting the entire Akatsuki alone, he was confident in doing anything.
"Mm, you are the one I trust most."
Hiruzen nodded, then looked at the other four. "You will form a temporary team, with Takumi-kun as the leader. Be sure to follow his commands."
"These are no problem."
Naruto leaned eagerly over the table, supporting himself with his hands. "Hurry up and tell us the mission objective! How many enemies are there? Are the enemies strong?"
His face was full of excitement, as if he were already on the battlefield.
