章 81: Chapter 79
"Miko sama, let the guards protect you and leave; we will stay and resist Ghost Army!" The oldest minister spoke urgently, already clad in armor. Despite the graying of his beard and hair, he appeared determined and resolute.
The other ministers echoed his sentiments, advising the witch to retreat under the protection of the guards.
Miko, having gathered her thoughts, made a firm decision. "Let the ordinary people retreat first, and I will stay with the soldiers to resist the ghost army." She was adamant that someone needed to stay behind.
While she wouldn't use offensive ninjutsu, she could employ sealing techniques for defense. Additionally, she expressed a desire to witness the power of Akira Senju.
However, Miko decided to keep the details of the transaction between her and Akira a secret. This "secret transaction" was not something she intended to share with others.
The ministers, concerned for her safety, attempted to dissuade her. The senior military minister, in particular, expressed panic. "Are you still counting on Konoha's ninjas? They can't repel the ghost army alone! You can't stay here!" He realized his words might be construed as belittling Konoha's ninjas but couldn't retract them.
Yugao, feeling angered by the minister's comments, spoke up, "We came here with good intentions to support you, but you repeatedly belittled us. Why, an ordinary person who is not even a samurai, do you think you can be stronger than a ninja?" Despite her apparent calmness, the ministers recognized her anger.
In the face of the impending threat of the Ghost army, the minister had no choice but to leave, promising to organize the army. As he passed Yugao, he couldn't resist making a snide remark about her abilities.
Uzuki Yugao, though initially tense, forced herself to relax. She observed her teacher, Natsu Uchiha, who remained expressionless, likely contemplating the situation. The ministers' departure prompted the priestess to apologize to Uchiha Natsu on their behalf. Uchiha Natsu, indifferent to the minister's behavior, emphasized their focus on completing the task.
Under Uchiha Natsu's leadership, the group followed the priestess to the city wall outside the forest. There, they witnessed the advancing terracotta warriors breaking through the outermost city wall.
The archers attempted to repel them with arrows, but the projectiles proved ineffective.
On the high wall, Miko, after chanting an incantation, summoned a massive transparent shield that enclosed the terracotta warriors. However, the shield was easily shattered by black energy emanating from the terracotta warriors, likely powered by sprites.
The priestess, realizing the gravity of the situation, wore a troubled expression. The stage was set for a confrontation with Mōryō and his formidable Ghost Army.
