In the light drizzle, everyone returned to the canyon.
Because Uchiha Shinji had led Shion and successfully broken through the enemy's encirclement, diverting their attention, many of the Land of Demons' guards in the canyon actually survived the battle.
The group worked together to clear the rocks blocking the canyon and continued their journey.
This time, the convoy safely arrived at the Land of Demons.
Once they reached the shrine of the miko (priestess), nearly everyone in the convoy, including Kakashi's team that had joined later, breathed a collective sigh of relief. Some even cried with joy.
Shion's prophecy of death had hung over everyone's heads like a shadow throughout the journey. Only now, after reaching their destination safely, did they believe that Shion's infallible death prophecy had truly been broken.
As the guards from the Land of Demons embraced each other, weeping, Sasuke, with his hands in his pockets, curled his lips. "I don't understand why these people were so worried. They actually believed that unreliable prophecy of Shion's."
Neji's eyes gleamed with newfound insight.
