Capítulo 33: Chapter 33: As Long as One's Conscience is Clear

"What does Mr. Lurigan want to gain?"

Hearing the priestess Miroku's question, Shishou, disguised as Mr. Lurigan, calmly stated his request.

"Of course, the sealing techniques of the priestess lineage."

The sealing techniques of the priestess lineage?

Hearing Shishou's request, Miroku frowned slightly, pondering before speaking.

"Mr. Lurigan, it's not that I don't want to agree with you."

"But, the sealing techniques of the priestess lineage can only be used by descendants of the priestess bloodline."

"Even if I teach you everything, you won't be able to use them."

Shishou was slightly stunned and then asked, "Is this a kind of bloodline limit?"

Miroku did not speak but nodded, confirming Shishou's guess.

"I see."

Hearing that he couldn't use the priestess's sealing techniques, Shishou felt disappointed.

Seeing Shishou's deeply furrowed brow and his disappointment, Miroku feared he might leave, so she quickly asked,

"Is there anything else Mr. Lurigan wants?"

Hearing Miroku's question, Shishou felt a bit troubled.

Unable to learn the priestess's sealing techniques, and lacking nothing in terms of wealth, he couldn't think of anything he needed at the moment.

Never mind, let's just do a good deed.

After all, he was raised under the red flag; it didn't suit his image to be so calculative in the face of someone in need.

After a lot of contemplation, Shishou turned to look at Miroku, and then his eyes lit up.

If he couldn't learn the sealing techniques, maybe obtaining the priestess herself would be just as good?

If Miroku joined his ranks, he wouldn't need to painstakingly learn the sealing techniques.

This way, he would not only gain a powerful ally but could also indirectly control the Land of Demons.

Moreover, Miroku was quite beautiful, and her priestess attire added to her appeal.

Thinking this, Shishou's gaze towards Miroku became even brighter.

Feeling Shishou's intense gaze, Miroku felt a sudden panic and quickly asked,

"Mr. Lurigan, what do you mean by this?"

Having made up his mind, Shishou withdrew his gaze to avoid scaring her, and spoke calmly,

"Since I can't learn the priestess's sealing techniques, I have another request."

"In the future, I need the priestess to do three things for me. How about that?"

Fishing with a long line to catch a big fish—building a connection first makes it easier to cultivate a relationship later.

This was something Shishou had read in dating guides online in his previous life.

"Alright, I agree."

"But the things you ask for cannot harm innocent people."

Miroku thought for a moment and added a condition.

"You can rest assured, Priestess. Although I can't claim to be a good person,"

"When I have the ability to save someone, I won't hesitate. Naturally, I wouldn't do anything to harm the innocent."

Shishou finished speaking and walked towards the shrine.

Miroku, hearing this, was stunned. Recalling how he had saved those villagers earlier, she quickly followed and asked in confusion,

"If I hadn't agreed to your request just now, would you still have helped?"

Shishou turned his head to look at Miroku and answered frankly,

"Of course."

"Then why did you tell me all this? Aren't you afraid I'll go back on my word?"

Miroku was even more puzzled.

Shishou chuckled lightly, glanced at Miroku, and continued walking as he spoke,

"So what if you go back on your word?"

"Although I don't deny wanting some benefits,"

"These are things I want to do. Why would I be so calculative over some minor gains or losses?"

"All I seek in this life is a clear conscience."

All I seek in this life is a clear conscience...

Miroku slowly stopped, staring in shock at Shishou's back.

At the side door, Uchiha Izumi, who had heard the entire conversation, quickly followed Shishou.

Only occasionally did her gaze towards him reveal a different kind of light.

No wonder he saved our Uchiha people.

No wonder he went to the Land of Grass to save Karin and her mother despite the difficulties.

Uchiha Izumi thought, her heart pounding wildly.

...

Arriving at the shrine, Miroku and Shishou quickly discussed their next plan of action.

Shishou would summon his creature to carry Miroku, Kitsuchi, and several other ninjas to the Land of Demons.

Upon reaching their destination, Kitsuchi and the others would ambush any potential cultists from the Yomi Cult, while Shishou, with his giant summon, would enter the cave to help the priestess seal the 'Moryo.'

"With this settled, the rest is up to you, Mr. Lurigan."

After discussing, Miroku looked at Shishou respectfully.

The priestess's respectful attitude caught the attention of Kitsuchi, Pakura, and Kakashi.

They were curious about what was discussed in the side room that made the priestess so respectful to Shishou.

Thinking about the plan they just devised, they all sighed.

Going in relied on Shishou, coming out also relied on Shishou, and assisting with the sealing was also Shishou.

Other than ambushing any potential cultists, they really had nothing to do.

It was understandable why the priestess respected him so much.

On the other hand, Uchiha Izumi frowned slightly as she looked at Miroku.

Could this woman have taken a liking to Brother Shishou?

"Rest assured, Priestess, I will protect you."

Shishou finished speaking and walked outside first.

The priestess quickly followed.

Hmph!

Uchiha Izumi snorted and quickly followed Shishou, giving the priestess a glance.

"Let's go."

Watching the three walk away, Kakashi shrugged, glanced at the others, and led the way.

"Why do I feel like I'm just here for show?"

"This isn't youthful at all!"

"I wouldn't have come if I'd known."

Might Guy muttered.

"I feel the same way, like I have nothing to do."

"I was so excited coming here, thinking I'd finally complete an S-rank mission."

Anko added, following Guy's pace.

Kitsuchi and Pakura also shared this feeling.

However, they were powerless to change it.

Summoning Jutsu!

Boom!

Outside the shrine, Shishou summoned the red-armored centipede.

After casting a sealing technique over the shrine to ensure Yomi and others couldn't break in, Miroku was carried by Shishou onto the centipede's head.

With a wave of his hand, the giant centipede crushed the puppet soldiers beneath it and sped towards the Land of Demons.

Along the way, Miroku guided Shishou while using her unique techniques to locate the 'Moryo.'

The monster 'Moryo' was deeply obsessed with the priestess. As long as she appeared outside the barrier, it would come immediately to merge with her.

The centipede was much faster than the 'Moryo.'

Shishou and his group had to move for a while, then stop to wait for the 'Moryo' to catch up.

They would move for a while, then stop again.

"This isn't youthful at all!"

The restless Might Guy muttered, looking at Kakashi.

"Kakashi, let's have a race."

"Let's see who reaches the Land of Demons first."

"What do you say?"

In response, Kakashi rolled his eyes weakly to show respect to Guy, then continued reading his "Icha Icha Paradise."


Capítulo 34: Chapter 34: This Is Too Huge!

"Damn it, Kakashi! He only invited the girls inside."

Looking at the shell house rising on the giant centipede's head, Might Guy and the others felt a surge of envy and jealousy.

Just now, Shishou had started inviting the priestess, Pakura, Anko, and other girls into the shell house to rest, while the rest could only endure the cold wind on the centipede's back.

"There are too many people; it wouldn't fit everyone inside."

Casually responding to Guy, Kakashi found a sheltered spot and closed his eyes to rest.

At this point, they had already been on the centipede's back for over a day, and they were only halfway through their journey.

"Damn it."

Might Guy muttered, then started doing push-ups beside Kakashi.

Inside the shell house.

Shishou instructed Uchiha Izumi to sleep first so she could take over guiding the centipede later.

Then, he took out a deck of cards and started teaching the remaining girls how to play a fast-paced card game.

After listening to Shishou explain the rules, the three girls quickly got the hang of it.

"Hahaha, I win again!"

Pakura excitedly collected the money from everyone, continuing to shuffle the deck.

She looked like a real money-grubber.

In just over an hour, she had won over five hundred thousand ryō, which was more than her income for several months.

In the Five Great Shinobi Villages, Sunagakure was the poorest, and even as an elite ninja, she was always broke.

The priestess Miroku and Anko also won a decent amount, with only Shishou losing.

Seeing the pleased Pakura, Shishou's face seemed annoyed, but he was secretly happy.

Since founding the gambling den and Shinobi UnionPay, he had never lacked money.

If it meant getting closer to Pakura, he wouldn't mind losing a few million more.

After playing for another half an hour, they dispersed to sleep.

Shishou naturally didn't actually sleep with the girls since they weren't very familiar yet.

After playing cards, he left the shell house and found a spot to rest his eyes.

...

"One thousand one hundred and one."

"One thousand one hundred and two."

Early the next morning, Shishou was awakened by a counting voice. Opening his eyes, he saw Guy's enthusiastic face.

"Mr. Lurigan, care to join the youth party?"

"Youth is endless!"

Might Guy paused his push-ups and gave Shishou a thumbs up, flashing his trademark big white teeth.

Seeing this familiar scene, Shishou recalled his past life playing ninja games and the painful experience of being patted on the head by these youth-loving characters.

Yesterday, Guy had been exhausted, and today he was fully recovered?

Is this the power of youth?

Just thinking about it was exciting.

"Sorry, I'm not interested."

Shishou politely declined Guy's invitation and went to relieve Uchiha Izumi from her shift guiding the centipede.

"You can go sleep now."

Shishou sat next to Uchiha Izumi, speaking softly.

"Ah~~"

Seeing Shishou beside her, Uchiha Izumi yawned, glanced at the newly awakened priestess walking out of the shell house, and then leaned into Shishou's arms to sleep.

I'm just watching him for Aunt Mikoto!

Finding an excuse, Uchiha Izumi felt justified in leaning into Shishou's arms and fell asleep.

Looking curiously at Uchiha Izumi in his arms, Shishou was puzzled.

What is this girl up to?

Are we already this close?

Not that I mind.

After thinking for a bit, Shishou had the little centipede raise a shell to block the cold wind for Uchiha Izumi.

"You two are really close."

The priestess Miroku walked up to Shishou, glanced at Uchiha Izumi in his arms, and smiled.

"Hehe, it's okay."

...

Another day passed, and the group finally reached their destination, the Sealed Demon Cave with a huge entrance.

"Kakashi, we're finally here."

Might Guy excitedly shook Kakashi's shoulder, tears of joy in his eyes.

These past few days had been extremely boring for him.

He had never encountered such a tedious mission before.

It was a complete waste of his youth.

"Is this the place where the demon is sealed?"

Kitsuchi looked at the surrounding terrain and frowned.

Hearing this, the priestess Miroku nodded and explained,

"Yes, the environment inside the cave can suppress the monster's power. It's the best place for sealing."

"Then let's start quickly; the monster will arrive soon," Kakashi reminded, glancing into the distance.

Hearing this, Shishou spoke up,

"In that case, let's proceed according to the plan."

"Kakashi and I will handle the sealing inside the cave."

"You all stay outside to stop the Yomi Cult and the puppet soldiers."

Although this was already arranged, the group still frowned upon hearing it.

Sealing the monster inside the cave was the most dangerous task. Even with a giant summon, it might still be challenging for just two people.

"Are you sure the two of you can handle it? If not, I can go with you."

The usually steady Kitsuchi offered.

He didn't feel comfortable letting Shishou handle the sealing with just one other person.

Shishou smiled, "Don't worry, I wouldn't joke about Kakashi's life."

Hearing this, Uchiha Izumi rolled her eyes internally.

So, you would joke about your own life?

Then Shishou pointed into the distance and continued,

"Besides, do you have any means to deal with giant creatures?"

In the distance, the monster chasing the priestess, the finally appeared in their sight.

The monster had a sinister, terrifying face, emitting a purple-black eerie mist. It looked like a gigantic humanoid crocodile.

"This... this is too huge."

Seeing the monster, which was as large as a tailed beast, everyone exclaimed.

In front of it, even Shishou's red-armored centipede looked like a child.

Pakura gritted her teeth. Her ninjutsu was effective against human-shaped targets, but she had no good methods against such a giant monster.

The three Konoha ninjas, including Kakashi, felt a chill, recalling the Nine-Tails incident years ago. The monster's size was comparable to the Nine-Tails.

In that battle, Konoha suffered heavy losses.

Shishou glanced at the ninjas from each village, noticing that only Kitsuchi remained relatively calm. The others were too shocked to speak, even elite jōnin like Pakura and Kakashi.

After all, ordinary ninjas weren't skilled at dealing with giant monsters, and even some with Kage-level strength struggled against tailed beasts.

"Do you still insist on assisting with the sealing?"

"I can go in and help."

Kitsuchi looked at Shishou.

As expected of the father-in-law of the Rock Demon Image, he spoke with confidence.

Shishou admired him and said, "Just leave the creature to us."

"Kitsuchi, it's better if you help block the Yomi Cult and the puppet soldiers."

"They won't be easy to deal with either."

With that, Shishou instructed the red-armored centipede to take him, Uchiha Izumi, and the priestess into the cave.

Seeing Shishou's determination, Kitsuchi and the others didn't argue further.

They jumped off the centipede and started setting up defenses outside the cave to stop the puppet soldiers.
