Capítulo 72: Chapter 72: The Legendary Insect Egg
After making a bet with Tsunade, Shishou left the Land of Demons' palace.
Tsunade's delicate features, sexy figure, powerful abilities, and heroic spirit made her the female character he liked the most in Naruto.
She was beautiful, strong, and had a bit of tragedy in her life.
Although he wanted to deepen his relationship with Tsunade, he understood that patience was necessary.
They had made a bet, so there would be plenty of opportunities to interact in the future.
"Sir, please wait."
"Miroku wishes for you to wait for her return."
Just as Shishou was leaving the palace, a maid called out to him. He recognized her; she was Miroku's personal attendant, named Reika.
"Alright, I understand."
Shishou nodded and turned back to the palace, feeling a bit disappointed as he had wanted to see the Priestess Miroku during her blessing ceremony in the capital city of the Land of Demons.
When Shishou returned to the palace, Reika breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why are you back again?"
Tsunade, sitting in the hall with some medical scrolls, asked curiously. The treatment method Uzumaki Eri used on Shizune had given her new ideas for medical ninjutsu.
"The Priestess asked me to wait for her return."
Shishou sat beside Tsunade and replied casually. Seeing the medical ninjutsu scrolls in her hand, he continued:
"If I were you, I would first learn the Sage Art of the Shikkotsu Forest."
"With the enhancement of Sage Chakra, your Mitotic Regeneration could truly live up to its name."
Hearing Shishou's words, Tsunade put away the scroll and looked at him in surprise:
"You actually know about the Sage Art of the Shikkotsu Forest?"
Seeing Tsunade's astonished look, Shishou felt proud and smiled:
"The Three Great Sage Regions of the ninja world."
"The Shikkotsu Forest, Ryuchi Cave, and Mount Myoboku."
"How could I not know about them?"
Hearing Shishou's words, Tsunade studied him carefully:
"I'm becoming more and more curious about you."
"What else do you know?"
Shishou puffed out his chest, feeling proud: "There's a lot more."
Tsunade rolled her eyes at his vanity and continued reading.
"Lady Tsunade..."
At that moment, Shizune walked in, saw Shishou still there, and quickly retreated, not wanting to disturb them.
Seeing Shizune's tactfulness, Shishou chuckled and said to Tsunade:
"Why hasn't Shizune learned Kato Dan's Spirit Transformation Technique?"
At the mention of Kato Dan, Tsunade's expression changed, and she said coldly:
"That's none of your business."
Not bothered by Tsunade's cold reaction, Shishou continued:
"Learning medical ninjutsu alone can't protect oneself."
"If you're willing to let Shizune follow me, I can help her master the Spirit Transformation Technique or become an elite jonin within three years."
With that, Shishou headed towards the door, planning to play games with Karin and Shion.
Tsunade watched him, her eyebrows furrowed in anger. Shishou's words had clearly hit a sore spot.
While Shizune excelled in medical ninjutsu, her combat abilities were lacking, making her unable to protect herself.
This was a truth Tsunade had to admit, and it was a responsibility she couldn't shirk.
Just outside the hall, Shishou found Shizune standing there, looking at him in surprise, having overheard his words.
"You were eavesdropping?"
Shishou pointed at her playfully and left.
Embarrassed at being caught, Shizune's face turned red. After he left, she entered the hall to comfort Tsunade:
"Lady Tsunade, don't listen to his nonsense..."
...
The next day, at the castle gates, Shishou finally met Priestess Miroku and Uzumaki Eri returning from the capital city of the Land of Demons.
"I'm heading back."
Seeing that Shishou wanted to speak with Miroku, Uzumaki Eri sensibly left first.
"Not here..."
Seeing Shishou reach for her hand, Miroku blushed and hesitated. They were at the palace gates, surrounded by many palace guards and servants.
Due to her status as a priestess, she didn't want to appear too close to Shishou in front of others.
Admiring Miroku in her pure white priestess attire, Shishou smiled.
In the next moment, they were in a forest clearing.
"So, what do you want to do?"
Holding Miroku's small hand, Shishou enjoyed her shy expression.
"I want to visit the place where the demon Moryo was sealed."
"To check if the sealing jutsu is weakening."
Miroku allowed Shishou to hold her hand, her gaze drifting aside.
"Alright."
Shishou nodded and used the Flying Thunder God to travel to the Demon Sealing Cave in the Land of Marsh.
He had left a Flying Thunder God mark there, making the journey convenient.
At the cave entrance, Miroku undid the sealing jutsu she had placed there previously to prevent anyone from entering.
In the cave's depths, they saw the demon Moryo sealed within a massive transparent crystal.
Moryo's body was curled into a black ball, quietly lying in the crystal.
However, black threads extended from its body, constantly trying to reach beyond the crystal.
"It seems Moryo's energy is gradually eroding my sealing jutsu."
Miroku frowned, touching the crystal and observing the black threads.
"What should we do?"
Shishou asked, standing beside her.
Miroku shook her head.
She had no solution for this. They could only wait for Moryo to break the seal and then seal it again.
Just as she was about to speak, a blue insect, resembling both a butterfly and a moth, flew out from Shishou's body.
"So beautiful..."
Miroku instinctively praised the insect.
"Why did the Nine Nether Bug come out on its own..."
Shishou was puzzled, trying to recall the bug to his insect space.
This was a legendary insect species, and he didn't dare to neglect it.
However, he found he couldn't recall it...
The Nine Nether Bug flew to the crystal sealing Moryo and landed on it.
Shishou and Miroku watched in surprise.
In the next moment, the black threads around Moryo vanished as if they had never existed.
Then, the Nine Nether Bug disappeared, leaving a palm-sized golden insect egg floating in front of Shishou.
[Ding! The legendary insect species Nine Nether Bug absorbed the otherworldly energy and birthed a legendary insect egg.]
