Naruto World Through Tenseigan - Chapter 44

Seeing Moryo’s spirit trying to escape, the Priestess was suddenly horrified. “Stop it quickly!”

If Moryo’s spirit escaped, the sealing would have failed, leading to endless troubles afterward.

Swish, swish, swish…

Before the Priestess’s voice had even faded, the sound of something slicing through the air was already heard!

These were the shurikens Shisui had thrown at Moryo’s spirit.

However, although these shurikens hit their mark accurately, they all passed through the chakra form of Moryo’s spirit without causing any substantial damage.

Shisui’s face darkened. He wanted to launch another attack, but it was too late.

In just a few seconds, Moryo’s spirit had only a few meters left before reaching the cave exit.

At that moment, Hyuga Kyo decisively used the Rotation Ruyi technique.

Instantly, Moryo’s spirit, which was just a few meters away from the cave exit, suddenly froze as if grasped by invisible giant hands. Despite being a chakra entity, it couldn’t break free.

“If I let you escape, this whole fight would have been for nothing!”

With that, Hyuga Kyo intensified the Rotation Ruyi technique, forcefully pulling Moryo’s spirit toward him.

As Hyuga Kyo’s strength increased, the range of the Rotation Ruyi technique also expanded. Now, within a 20-meter radius, nothing could escape its control.

The prepared Priestess hurriedly took out a wooden box from her scroll and, as Hyuga Kyo pulled Moryo’s spirit closer, she performed a sealing technique.

“No…”

Without its physical body for protection, Moryo’s spirit had no resistance against the Priestess’s sealing technique. With a final, unwilling roar, it was completely sealed away.

With Moryo thoroughly sealed, the three in the cave collapsed to the ground, collectively sighing in relief.

They were all exhausted.

The Priestess had used several sealing techniques in a row. Especially the one used to seal Moryo’s body, which had nearly drained her of all her strength. So, even though she didn’t participate in the battle, her consumption was not minor.

Shisui wasn’t much better off. Until he obtained the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, just activating the Mangekyo Sharingan was a significant burden. Moreover, he had used Susanoo to fight Moryo, making his consumption far greater than it appeared.

As for Hyuga Kyo, he had even used the Body Regeneration Secret Technique, which had cost him at least two or three months of his lifespan.

This demonstrated that Moryo’s strength was indeed formidable, at least comparable to a regular Tailed Beast.

After resting for a while, the Priestess sincerely thanked Hyuga Kyo and Shisui. “Thank you both so much. Without you, the consequences would have been unimaginable!”

The Priestess’s gratitude was heartfelt. She had initially thought that only by perishing alongside Moryo could she prevent this catastrophe, but surprisingly, everything had been resolved smoothly.

While putting away the Third Kazekage puppet, Hyuga Kyo said, “I have fulfilled my promise to you.”

The Priestess nodded. “Rest assured, I will keep my promise!”

Shisui, having stood up, curiously asked Hyuga Kyo, “Senior, was that a puppet you used just now? A puppet that can use Magnet Release?”

Hyuga Kyo didn’t hide anything. “Yes, it was a puppet I acquired by chance. It can use Magnet Release because it was originally the Third Kazekage.”

“What!?”

Both Shisui and the Priestess were shocked.

The strongest Kazekage had been turned into a human puppet. This was a fact that stunned them.

“The Third Kazekage was assassinated by a puppeteer from Sunagakure and turned into a human puppet. In a battle, I happened to take the puppet from that puppeteer. That’s the whole story.”

Hyuga Kyo briefly explained how he obtained the Third Kazekage puppet.

Shisui was astounded. “The Third Kazekage was assassinated by a ninja from his own village!?”

Hyuga Kyo cautioned, “Because the fact that the Third Kazekage was assassinated and turned into a human puppet is so shocking, I’ve rarely used this puppet. This matter concerns Sunagakure’s dignity, so please don’t spread it. It could cause conflicts between Sunagakure and Konoha!”

Hyuga Kyo dared to use the Third Kazekage puppet because he trusted the Priestess and Shisui to keep the secret.

The Priestess was a benevolent person willing to perish with Moryo for the world’s peace. Plus, she owed Hyuga Kyo a significant favor now. He believed she wouldn’t betray him.

As for Shisui, Hyuga Kyo trusted his integrity and also had some leverage over him. If everything were exposed, no one would come out unscathed.

Even if the secret of the Third Kazekage puppet got out, Hyuga Kyo could hand it over to the village. After all, it was just a spoil of war, and he wasn’t the one who killed the Third Kazekage.

Hearing Hyuga Kyo make the matter sound so serious, even elevating it to a potential conflict between two major villages, both the Priestess and Shisui hurriedly promised, “We won’t reveal anything!”

Changing the subject, Hyuga Kyo asked Shisui, “There’s a rumor that above the three-tomoe Sharingan, there’s another form called the Mangekyo Sharingan, right?”

Shisui didn’t shy away from the topic and smiled. “Yes, what I just used is a unique Mangekyo Sharingan technique called ‘Susanoo’!”

Exchanging secrets is the quickest way to build trust.

After sharing their secrets, the relationships between the Priestess, Hyuga Kyo, and Shisui became much closer.

After temporarily reinforcing the seal on the wooden box, the Priestess said, “I plan to select a suitable location within the Land of Demons to seal Moryo’s spirit. With its body and spirit separated by hundreds of miles, the chance of it breaking free will be very small.”

Compared to sealing Moryo’s body, sealing its spirit was much weaker. Hence, the Priestess needed to find another suitable place to set up a new sealing array to safely seal the box.

Neither Hyuga Kyo nor Shisui had any objections to the Priestess’s plan.

Hyuga Kyo’s thoughts had long shifted from Moryo to figuring out how to ask the Priestess to teach him her family’s sealing techniques.

Sealing Moryo had confirmed the prowess of the sealing techniques of the Priestess’s lineage in the Land of Demons. In Hyuga Kyo’s view, even though the Priestess naturally countered Moryo, her sealing expertise far surpassed most of the ninjas in the village.

If he missed this opportunity to learn sealing techniques, his plan to create an artificial Tailed Beast might forever remain a distant dream…
