Naruto: All I want to do after transforming into Akali is be happy!

Chapter 166 Divine Soldiers

Akali, aside from anything else, now that she has Darma by her side, can still manage to fight off the remnants of the old era.

With Akali's promise, everyone immediately felt more confident.

Where are the demons?

"Please give me a map."

Shion reached out, and Darui unfolded the map in front of her.

After just a quick glance at the map, Ziyuan pointed to a valley in front of them.

"So close?"

"Because the battle lines are pushing forward, the demons naturally have to follow. The puppets are a bit like your ninja puppet techniques; the farther away they are, the less power they can transmit," Shion explained.

"There's nothing more to say, let's go!"

Akali led the way out of the cave, followed closely by the others.

A group of more than ten people rushed to the battlefield.

As the crowd departed, a hermaphrodite, one side black and the other white, emerged from the depths of the earth.

He muttered to himself on the ground, "As planned, the bait has been caught in the net. Let's go, let's inform the demons, and then go see Hiruko."

Under Black Zetsu's command, White Zetsu burrowed into the ground.

Soon after, a valley with a clear stream appeared before everyone.

"Is this the place?" Kankuro shielded his eyes from the sun and looked into the distance.

The valley in front of them is composed of three high mountains, two in front and one behind, and the stream beside them flows down from the middle but back mountain.

Ignoring its remote location, the scenery of this valley is quite picturesque. If the Land of Wind had a valley like this, Kankuro would be laughing in his sleep. Unfortunately, it doesn't.

At this moment, the valley was filled with the clear chirping of birds and the rustling of insects, giving it the appearance of a primeval forest uninhabited by humans. It was hard to tell that this was the dwelling place of the demons.

"This is it!" Ziyuan's eyes lit up with a faint white light. In her eyes, this place was not a picturesque landscape at all, but rather filled with demonic energy.

"Her vision is different from ours?" Akali noticed the light in Ziyuan's eyes and seemed to understand something. She summoned her Soul Blade with a Twilight Slash, and used the Soul Blade, which was glowing with a faint purple light, as a pair of glasses in front of her eyes.

Through the translucent blade of the Soul Blade, a completely different world appears!

Akali could clearly see that on either side of them in the valleys, countless pairs of crimson demonic eyes were silently watching them, waiting for the monarch, Wraith, in the center to give the order so that these lurking mercenaries would burst forth and tear them, the invaders, apart.

"Watch out, we're surrounded!" Akali became more serious: "There are Wraith soldiers lying in ambush on the mountains to the left and right."

"Wraith Soldier, why don't I see it?" Sasuke lit up his Sharingan and looked at the mountains on both sides.

“It’s a different system, isn’t it? Don’t look for any unusual energy, look at the soil!” Akali reminded her.

"Soil?" Sasuke shifted his gaze and immediately noticed something was wrong.

Nestled among the forests of the high mountains on both sides, there are small mounds of earth piled high with fallen leaves.

Because those mounds were so small and there were no obvious signs of digging around them, the group had only glanced at them before and moved on. But now, upon closer inspection, if the Wraith Soldiers possessed some kind of earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of ability that allows them to burrow into the ground) ability, then this meant they had indeed burrowed into the earth.

"I see them! So many!" Sasuke's expression hardened. "How so? They're clearly waiting for us to go deeper. Should we still go?"

"Go, why wouldn't we go?" Akali said matter-of-factly, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained."

"If we get surrounded and killed, we can always use the Flying Thunder God Technique!"

“If I’m not mistaken…” Akali looked at Sasuke, “You should be able to use it now, right? Flying Thunder God Technique!”

"Hmph!" Sasuke gave a reserved smile: "Luckily, thanks to Tobirama-sensei's excellent teaching, it can't be used in battle yet, but it's no problem to give it away."

"That's fine then. With you and me here, and two Flying Thunder God Techniques to back us up, what's there to be afraid of?"

"go!"

Akali walked into the valley without looking back, followed closely by Sasuke and Naruto, then Shion who walked quickly, and Shino Aburame who had been there all along, but no one noticed.

"..."

Watching the departing figures of Konoha and the others, the people from the other four major ninja villages exchanged glances, all seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.

The fact that the Flying Thunder God Technique user should be top secret was casually mentioned by Akali and Sasuke as if it were just a casual conversation.

In the past, Minato Namikaze, who possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique, made the four great ninja villages suffer. Now, with the resurrected Tobirama Senju, Konoha has three Flying Thunder God Technique users, and one of them is even an Uchiha. How can they possibly reason with that?

"I hope the village won't go to war with Konoha in the future..."

With this prayer in mind, the others quickly followed.

After some time, the group entered the valley. On the high mountain directly in front of them, a young man dressed in priest's robes and wearing glasses came out.

Looking down arrogantly at the crowd below, the young man sneered, "You overconfident ninjas, I didn't expect you would actually dare to come here!"

Everyone looked up at the sound of his voice and saw the familiar face of the young man. Ziyuan exclaimed in surprise, "Ashiho!"

Yes, the form that the demon is displaying at this moment is none other than Shion's bodyguard—Ashiho!

"Witch!" the demon scoffed disdainfully. "You think I'll be bewitched by transferring all my power to this brat? It's just a ruse. As long as I devour you here, I'll be perfectly fine again!"

"Speaking of which, this kid is still conscious. He wants to live, not die. Do you want to talk to him?"

After saying that, without even asking Shion, Wangliang closed his eyes, changed his expression, and instantly transformed into the familiar look of Shion's tassels.

Asashiho cried out, "Lady Shion, watch out for the spirit soldiers of the demons... Ughhhhh!"

The foot spike cried out in pain.

After a moment of facial contortion, Wangliang's expression returned to normal, looking extremely displeased: "This kid, I kindly gave him a chance to catch up, but I didn't expect him to reveal my information as soon as he opened his mouth."

"But even if you know my trump card, so what?"

"Come forth, my unparalleled army!"

"Rumble, rumble—"

With a shout from the demon, the two mountains beside them trembled violently, and thousands of terracotta warriors crawled out of the ground amidst the rumbling tremors.

However, the Wraith's trump card is not the Soldier.

After the soldier crawled out, it appeared before everyone's shocked eyes.

The two mountains, one on the left and one on the right, split apart!

And from the crack in the mountain, the shadows of two giants could be vaguely seen!
