Chapter 278 The Witch's Seal
After a long while, Yoru looked at Temari and said, "I will try it then."
Temari nodded without the slightest doubt.
But Kurotsuchi and Samui were already stunned.
Kurotsuchi bluntly stated, "But only a witch's power can seal demons. You may be very strong, but you can't seal demons, can you?"
Samui didn't speak, but his eyes revealed the same look as Kurotsuchi's.
After all, this is too unbelievable.
Just as Temari was about to explain, Yoru said, "I only said I would try, but there's no guarantee I'll succeed."
"Did you all come here just to ask me this question?"
The three of them exchanged a glance.
Temari's purpose was indeed that.
But Kurotsuchi and Samui had no such goal. They wanted to get to know Yoru, and more importantly, they wanted to learn about Yoru so they could report his information to the village after the mission was over.
Yoru appeared out of nowhere, leaving no trace in the ninja world before, which is highly suspicious.
Heitu thought for a moment and said, "After this, we are comrades-in-arms. We want to get to know each other and understand each other. Besides, you saved us, so we should also express our sincere gratitude to you."
Samui didn't speak, but nodded in agreement with Kurotsuchi's words.
Temari looked at the two of them, her gaze thoughtful.
She knew perfectly well what the two men's true intentions were.
But she didn't point it out; for a ninja, this behavior was perfectly normal.
If Temari could see it, how could Yoru not?
He smiled and said, "Then what else do you want to know about me?"
Kurotsuchi and Samui exchanged a glance, and Kurotsuchi asked, "Yoyu, are you really a Hokage's bodyguard?"
"Why is it that despite your strength, I've never heard of you in the ninja world all these years?"
"That's incredible! I think your strength has completely reached the Kage level, right?"
Yoru nodded and said, "That's normal. I'm a medical ninja, that's my main job, so I rarely leave the village to carry out missions. Naturally, you haven't heard of my name in the ninja world."
"But if you mention my name in Konoha, you'll find I'm quite well-known."
Temari covered her mouth and smiled.
She knew perfectly well that Ye Yu was talking nonsense.
Yoru is the Hokage's bodyguard, how could he possibly remain a medical ninja forever?
Temari always felt that Yoru was Konoha's trump card, which would only be played at the crucial moment.
Kurotsuchi asked with a puzzled look, "So that's the same as Lady Tsunade from your village?"
Tsunade is not only famous in Konoha Village, but also quite famous throughout the entire ninja world, especially among female ninjas.
She was worshipped by many female ninjas.
When Yoru mentioned medical ninjas, Kurotsuchi immediately thought of Tsunade.
Samui looked at Yoru's face, and after a while, she suddenly frowned.
"You, you are~"
Ye Yu said calmly, "You should all be alright now. Go and get some rest. Tomorrow we'll be escorting the witch to the Swamp Country."
Samui was interrupted by Yoru before she could speak.
Seeing that Yoru was telling them to leave, Temari didn't stay any longer and said, "Let's go. Yoru is right. We'll be facing an even stronger enemy tomorrow, so we need to get some rest."
Before Samui could speak, Temari pulled him away again.
As Samui left, she kept looking back at Yoru.
His gaze was full of scrutiny.
Ye Yu knew that she must have recognized him.
Kurotsuchi was pulled away by Temari, looking completely bewildered.
Meanwhile, in the witch's room...
The witch's two guards did not die in her place because of Ye Yu's appearance.
They all survived.
The two knelt before the witch.
One of them said, "Witch, you are protected by ninjas from several great nations, you should be fine."
"The ninjas sent by the demons to assassinate you are no match for them at all."
The two, who had been guarding the witch, had stayed by Shion's side to protect him, but during the attack just now, they found that they were completely powerless against those ninjas.
They couldn't even withstand a single ninjutsu.
But Ye Yu's appearance gave them hope; Ye Yu had won too decisively.
Those ninjas, just like them, were no match for Yoru.
Unlike in the original story, Shion now has the confidence that she can successfully seal it.
Because Ye Yu showed her the possibility of success.
Ziyuan nodded. "With Mr. Yeyu here, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"
"Mr. Yoru is a very powerful ninja. Do you know anything about him?"
The two guards shook their heads. "We had never heard of him before, but judging from Lord Ye Yu's strength, he is definitely at the Shadow level. He shouldn't be so unknown."
"Perhaps he is a hidden powerhouse in Konoha."
"Otherwise, how come someone as powerful as him has never had his name circulated throughout the entire ninja world?"
Shion agreed with the two guards' analysis.
"In any case, with him here, my chances of successfully sealing it have increased significantly."
Shion had a very good impression of Yoru, appearing when she was in the most danger and crushing four ninjas.
Moreover, he's very handsome and about the same age as her; how could a man like that not be attractive?
While Shion was very happy, Yomi was not happy at all when she learned that her four subordinates had been killed.
He had now arrived in the Swamp Country, the place where the physical body of the demon was sealed.
Upon learning that his four subordinates had been killed, Huang Quan frowned. "He actually managed to kill all four of them at once. Just who is this person?"
Do the Five Great Ninja Villages have ninjas like this?
He knew very well that after those four ninjas received his chakra replenishment, their strength would reach the level of elite Jonin.
The eldest among them is even at the level of a near-King level.
However, the four people were instantly killed by Ye Yu without any resistance.
Even a Kage-level powerhouse couldn't do something so outrageous.
Huang Quan stood on the surface of the lava lake, somewhat worried that Ye Yu's appearance would affect his plans.
Just then, the demonic soul within him said, "Alright, forget about all that. No matter who he is, as long as my undead army can sweep across the world, his strength is useless."
"The most important thing now is to merge with my physical body. I must be resurrected to unleash my full power."
Huang Quan stopped thinking about it and, looking at the scorching lava lake, formed a hand seal.
"Lord Wraith, resurrect!"
As Huang Quan completed the hand seal, his stomach instantly split open.
There was no trace of blood; a cloud of black energy surged out from his body.
This black aura is the soul of the demon.
The spirits of the demons eagerly surged towards the bottom of the lava lake.
That is the place where its body is sealed.
However, the moment its soul touched the sealing barrier that bound its body, it was bounced back.
The immense power caused the lava lake to churn violently.
The spirit of the demon returned to its body in the underworld.
He stared in horror at the violently churning lava lake.
"Damn it, what kind of sealing barrier did that guy Maitreya set up? It's so powerful. It seems that only this generation of witches can break this seal."
