Kapitel 161: 161. The Queen of Nightmare In Action
Izumi and his team who had obtained the scrolls had now entered the Forest of Death. The scroll he got was written with Heaven. So the target was…
"Heh, what a coincidence." Izumi smirked looking at the scroll in his hand. Then he kept it in the storage space.
Regarding what Izumi knew, the ninja from the Kusagakure village or it could be said that the disguise of Orochimaru had a scroll with the word Earth written on it.
"What do you mean?" Kazuma didn't understand what Izumi was saying, so he asked.
Izumi didn't answer but sniffed the smell of the air around him. Luffy crossed his arms and tilted his head in confusion at what Izumi was doing.
"What are you doing Izumi? Why are you sniffing like a dog?"
Izumi twitched his cheek, but he still replied.
"This is a part of the ability that I just acquired."
"Ability?"
Izumi nodded but didn't explain anymore. Instead, he said.
"Let's go, I found Naruto's direction."
Kazuma stiffened, then he asked in a slightly trembling voice.
"D-do we really need to confront that snake right now?"
"Of course!"
Izumi added inwardly.
"Well, this could be an opportunity to prevent Sasuke from following Orochimaru anyway. So, like it or not, we have to do it."
Izumi stepped on the ground and started running in a certain direction. But when he felt that Kazuma and Luffy weren't moving, Izumi stopped after tens of meters.
"What are you waiting for?"
Kazuma, who seemed reluctant to follow Izumi toward Orochimaru, asked back.
"You won't let me die and be revived by Momo, right?"
"Do you think I want to let you die?" Izumi slowly approached Kazuma while asking.
As for Luffy, he instead pointed in a direction with his index finger.
"Hey hey, can we have a meal with that?" What Luffy was pointing to was a huge wild boar, about 5 times that of an ordinary wild boar. His saliva was also dripping from his mouth, as if he could taste how delicious the wild boar meat was.
Seeing Luffy's very looking forward expression, Izumi gave up.
"Fine, go kill that boar! But let's postpone our meal, okay?"
Luffy responded by directly attacking the boar.

"It is time for the Queen of Nightmare to act. The power of darkness that dwells within my body will soon be released and swallow up all those who dare to oppose this queen."
Kuroneko with the pose of covering one eye with her hand said in chuuni words as usual. Kuroneko turned back and looked at Hiiro and Yuki Onna.
"What do you think, my servants? Which way should we go?"
Hiiro, who was walking behind Kuroneko while putting his hand in his pocket, didn't expect that Kuroneko was such an acute chuuni.
"Since when have I been your servant?"
"It's fine if you don't realize your position, I'll let you know that you've been bound by a contract to be my servant ever since you set foot in this world." Kuroneko answered Hiiro's question.
Hiiro was speechless, he didn't know what he wanted to say in response to Kuroneko's words. In the end, Hiiro ignored Kuroneko while using his magic to scan the area around them.
"Hey, don't ignore me!"
In response to her yell, Hiiro only gave a signal by placing his index finger on his lips and saying.
"Shhhh, there's an enemy."
"Humph, not fun, you're too serious." Kuroneko pouted, but remained alert for the incoming enemy.
"Do you need my help?" Yuki-Onna who had been silent for so long finally started to speak.
"Please do!" Hiiro answered curtly.
A moment later, three figures appeared on the tree. From the symbols on their forehead protectors, the three of them were Genin-level ninjas from Amegakure. All of them wore light gray jackets and scarves wrapped around their necks.
The three of them thought it would be easy after they saw their targets were just a tall boy wearing glasses and two girls.
One of the ninjas from Amegakure whispered.
"Aren't they a group from Kaiyougakure village? That guy isn't with them, this is our chance to finish them off."
What they meant by "That guy" was Izumi who caught the attention of the other participants. Seeing that Izumi wasn't with them, they thought of taking the opportunity to defeat Kuroneko's team since they looked like an easy target.
The Amegakure ninja who seemed to be the leader of the team gestured with his finger to the others to take a position.
But...
Suddenly they felt a cold temperature. A blizzard suddenly appeared. Their bodies went cold and stiff after a few seconds.
"Nice one, Yuki-chan! Now it's my turn!" Kuroneko exclaimed.
Hiiro used his magic on the three ninjas to slow down their movements after Yuki Onna the blizzard. With those debuffs, they almost can't move from their place. They couldn't even perform a hand seal to use a Ninjutsu.
Hiiro added another magic to them by summoning water to freeze them.
Kuroneko wielded her divine sword. Incidentally, that sword had two elements within it, lightning, and wind. Then she raised her sword to the sky with a grin while saying in a chuuni pose.
"God of thunder, lend your power to eradicate the evil that wants to devour this earth. Judgment Knight of Thunder!"
Then, lightning came out of the sword and stroked the three ninjas from Amegakure. In addition, with the three of them's bodies covered in ice that could be considered a conductor for electricity, the voltage from the lightning strike increased.
"Aaaaaahhhhhhh!!!"
Their screams could be heard from far away. It was even heard from outside the Forest of Death. Then, they passed out with smoky bodies.
"Khukhukhukhu, that was the power of the Queen of Nightmare. O people, know your place! Otherwise, you will be punished by this Queen!" Kuroneko's left hand was brought close to her left eye while performing the chuuni pose as usual.
Kuroneko's team had an Earth scroll, and coincidentally, the scroll that the ninja they defeated owned was a Heaven scroll.
This meant they could head straight for the tower in the middle of the Forest of Death.
"Are we going to finish this second test?" Kuroneko suddenly changed her chuuni nature to normal.
"I want to see how a ninja fights and also want to know how they use various ninjutsus."
Hiiro didn't seem to want to complete the second test yet as he was interested in seeing how the ninjas fought. Since Izumi who came from the same world as him could do it, how could he not?
Perhaps, he should try asking someone to teach him.
On the other hand, it didn't matter to Yuki Onna what those two wanted to do. All in all, she just obeyed Izumi's words who told her to help Kuroneko and Hiiro whenever they needed.
"Hmmm, good idea, my servant. Then show me the way!" Kuroneko said as she looked at Hiiro while pointing in a direction with her index finger. She intended to make Hiiro lead the way. But Hiiro turned to the Yuki Onna instead and said,
"Hey, Yuki, do something about this chuuni girl's illness!"
Yuki Onna tilted her head and said back.
"Illness? I see that Kuroneko-sama seems to be in good health." Yuki Onna didn't find weirdness in Kuroneko's words. And what she said made Kuroneko even more pleased.
"Khukhukhu, you are trying to conspire with the wrong person. Yuki-chan is on my side."
Not long after that, they started to walk, led by Hiiro who seemed to have given up.

Elsewhere.
Sasuke and Sakura were on guard against a ninja from Kusagakure village. The person in front of them had long hair with a slightly pale complexion. He swallowed his Earth scroll which Sasuke's team needed because they had the Heaven scroll. The way he swallowed was just like a snake swallowing its prey, it looked too creepy.
Sasuke and Sakura were surprised to see the person who swallowed the scroll. If they wanted the scroll, the only way was to kill him.
