Chapter 321
"White Fang-sama!"
Looking at Sakumo, no matter how unwilling Asuma was to face it, he had to.
After all, he was aware of the previous events in Konoha. Sakumo did have a record of being Edo Tensei'd, but the current Sakumo was clearly alive.
This meant Kakashi hadn't been lying to him!
Instantly, Asuma felt terrible. Even though he didn't respect Hiruzen at all, how could Hiruzen do this?
Asuma's mindset collapsed.
However, this was a minor matter at the moment.
Composing himself, Asuma decided that since Konoha didn't need him, he still had to fulfill his duty. If Konoha didn't need him, then the Land of Fire did!
Thus, under the surprised gazes of Kakashi and Sakumo, Asuma pulled out the Chakra Blades his father spent a fortune to have made for him.
"Come on, Kakashi, Sakumo-sama!"
Asuma said firmly: "I am one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja. I have my duty!"
"Alright then." Looking at Asuma, both Kakashi and Sakumo were speechless.
'How can someone be this stubborn?'
"Kakashi, you or me?"
Sakumo looked at Kakashi beside him.
"Captain, you do it. He's still my classmate after all," Kakashi replied.
"Fine." Sakumo nodded. He'd do it himself.
"One Flash!"
Facing Asuma, White Fang drew his blade. A flash of white light streaked!
Thud!
The expensively crafted Chakra Blades, along with the arm holding it, fell to the ground!
"Arrrrrrggggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Looking at his instantly severed hands, Asuma let out a scream filled with both terror and pain.
He never expected that his attempt to resist would result in his resistance being neutralized in an instant.
Afterwards, looking at Asuma's arms lying on the ground, Sakumo said to Chiriku nearby: "Fire Temple monk, pick up his arms and go find a Medical-Nin."
"With just this amount of time, a Medical-Nin can still reattach them."
"However, he won't be able to be a Ninja anymore. Of course, that depends on whether Sarutobi Hiruzen is willing to invest in this son of his."
"Let's go, Kakashi!"
After leaving these few remarks, Sakumo, taking Kakashi with him, walked past Asuma.
Surprisingly, after they passed Asuma, the rest of the journey was completely smooth!
Because, well, only someone as foolish as Asuma would act like that.
The other Twelve Guardian Ninja who saw something was wrong had long since fled.
And some of the more clever ones had gone to the Daimyo's palace and tied up the Daimyo, bringing him out.
"Just as I predicted."
Looking at the bound Daimyo being brought out, Sakumo nodded.
Why did Ninja Villages, despite having far superior power, never dare to move against the Daimyo?
It was because if they moved against one Daimyo, the other nations would rise up together to attack. No one could withstand the assault of four Ninja Villages simultaneously.
But the situation was different now. The Five Great Ninja Villages were united.
Under such circumstances, dealing with a Daimyo was simple and effortless.
"Take him. Mission accomplished. Bring back everyone on the list and hand them over to the Soul King-sama for judgment!"
Sakumo ordered.
"Yes, Captain!" Kakashi accepted the order and left.
Thus, this incursion came to an end.
However, when Sakumo led the 2nd Division back, they did not see Sora. They only saw Mei, who, under Sora's orders, remained at the Soul King Palace to help administer the Soul King's authority.
Mei handled the Daimyos' issues according to Sora's intentions.
And with that, after the Daimyos were all dealt with and Ninja took power by force, the Ninja World truly became the Ninja World!
Sora's name as the Soul King spread far and wide.
Only, no one knew that at this moment, Sora, the esteemed Soul King, had arrived in a very remote small country!
Looking at the woman before him, who was pure white all over, with eyes very similar to the Byakugan yet not, as they're more like a crystal-clear, luminous, translucent pair of eyes… an absolutely beautiful shrine maiden, Sora asked:
"So, you are the Priestess of the Land of Demons, Miroku?"
"Yes! Miroku pays her respects to Soul King-sama!" Facing Sora, Miroku bowed gracefully.
Within her loose shrine maiden robes, her full, ample curves were revealed before Sora.
"Oh?" Looking at Miroku's astonishing curves, which didn't lose out to Tsunade's, Sora raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
One could only say, she was worthy of being the mother who could give birth to a shrine maiden capable of causing Naruto to die once… her milk supply must be ample!
However, one thing puzzled Sora greatly.
In the Land of Demons, Miroku's daughter, Shion was older than Naruto, so she should have been born long ago.
So why was Miroku's current aura still so pure, like a cloud in the sky?
Moreover, from the bowing gesture, her fair wrist was revealed, adorned with a conspicuous cinnabar chastity mark.
Clearly, Miroku was still a maiden!
Seeming to sense Sora's surprise, Miroku raised her head.
"If the Divine Lord has not yet arrived, how could a shrine maiden who serves the gods lose her chastity?"
