Konoha’s Thief Hand

"The rule that only maidens can enter the underground temple is actually only set up to hide the relationship between the maiden and the sprites. It has no other meaning." Walking slowly into the dim underground temple, Maitreya confronted Xia who was beside her. The tree said mockingly.

"Those who can be self-sacrificing for others are people of the highest character and are worthy of respect and remember." Xia Shu followed Maitreya to the door that glowed with gloomy light, and said slowly: "What's more, witches and sprites It was only once, but now they are two individuals with different thoughts."

Maitreya nodded when he heard the words, took a deep breath, and came to the door in the altar.

"Thank you."

When she turned her head and smiled, Maitreya's hands became imprinted, and her whole body exuded pure micro-lights, which made her whole white and flawless. Looking back, Xia Shu couldn't help but miss her smile.

"You are welcome." Xia Shu nodded slightly.

Maitreya began her work, carefully mending the sealed door from the inside to the outside.

Xia Shu turned on the heart web perception, tentatively sensing the situation in the underground temple.

Bang! ~

At this moment, the seal door was suddenly hit, and the silvery white light was smudged by the deep purple and black, vaguely forming the appearance of a thousand-headed monster.

"Let me out, Miko!"

The hoarse and gloomy voice suddenly sounded, echoing in the underground temple, full of spiteful and angry emotions.

Hearing this voice, Xia Shu frowned slightly, because he was vaguely in his spirit as if he saw the other party. The dark purple monsters stretched their teeth and claws, and thousands of heads danced, making him feel locked in.

"As long as I am here, you don't want to hurt anyone!"

Maitreya looked at the ghost shadow of the monster, coldly snorted, the pure white light between the closed hands lit up, and the light that was not dazzling, rushed to the seal door, suddenly like boiling water poured on the snow, washing away the traces of the sprite !

"Huh! Frighten me~"

Maitreya's pure white light beams dispersed, and he patted his chest in shock, but it was a pity that no one appreciated the beautiful scenery at this moment.

"Oh? What's the matter with you?" Maitreya who turned around noticed Xia Shu's abnormality, frowned slightly, and quickly came up with the answer, "Wandering?"

The shaking of the fingers in front of him made Xia Shu slowly recover, and while taking a deep breath, he laughed and grabbed the delicate palm of the stranger in front of him.

"It deserves to be a beast that can threaten the entire Ninja World."

There was a hint of lingering fear in Xia Shu's emotional tone. He raised his hand in the doubtful eyes of Maitreya, and a cloud of black mist slowly appeared in his hand.

"This is..." Maitreya stared at Xia Shu's hand, frowning, feeling that the black mist gave her a familiar feeling.

"The fragments of the soul of sprites." Xia Shu gave the answer, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly sarcastically, and said: "You and him are from the same source, and it is normal to feel familiar. Using voice to cover the movements of the soul level, unfortunately encountered it's me!"

"Just now..." Maitreya's eyes widened suddenly, realizing what happened just now, and quickly apologized: "Sorry, I accidentally missed it."

"It's okay." Xia Shu shook his head and squeezed the palm of his hand, destroying the ghost's remnant soul, saying: Thanks to the Spiritualization Technique, otherwise this remnant soul is not enough to change my will, but I am afraid it will gradually become Like Huang Quan, he wanted to release the lunatic who subverted the world of Ninja by the thousand-year kingdom.

"The seal is restored as before, let's leave here." Maitreya didn't like the environment of the underground temple. Seeing that Xia Shu didn't seem to be affected, he hurriedly urged.

"Okay." Xia Shu nodded, and walked outside with Maitreya.

After walking out of the gate of the underground temple, Guiyi, who had been waiting anxiously, rushed over, and went around repeatedly to check Maitreya's condition, even if Maitreya said that he was okay.

The journey of ‘worship’ to the underground temple is over, and the convoy prepares to return to the capital. At this time, Xia Shu bids farewell to Maitreya.

"Mille, my mission has been completed, right here..."

"Wait a minute, I want to release the mission to you." Maitreya heard the words and interrupted him quickly, "The sprite's body is sealed in the mysterious ancestral hall of the Numa Country. After so many years, I don't know if the seal is damaged. So I want to hire you to escort me to the Numa Country to strengthen the seal of the mysterious shrine."

"Uh..." Xia Shu was startled slightly, and hesitated: "You can post this kind of task to Konoha, but I am not..."

"Although the country of ghosts is not rich, the commission for an S-level mission can still be obtained. If you add more, I believe that as an employer, I should be able to appoint someone to complete the mission." Maitreya's eyes were full of perseverance. Staring at Xia Shu, he said, "If you don't want to waste time going back to Konoha and running back, I will post the mission to Konoha as you said."

Xia Shu looked at the silver-haired witch silently, but only got a tougher look from the other party, and in the end he could only surrender.

"Well, I'll take this task."

"Then follow me back to the capital, from the country of ghosts to the country of swamps, but there is a long way to go. You must choose the path carefully." Maitreya said with a smile.

Xia Shu shook his head and sighed, and looked at the other person and said, "Actually, if you are the only one, I can guarantee to go back and forth in two days."

"As a witch in the country of ghosts, it is unavoidable to be a little pompous. Besides, visiting other countries can be regarded as an international diplomatic activity. I don't care about the details, but after all, I represent the country of ghosts." Maitreya smiled and shook his head.

"Oh!~" Xia Shu sighed again, thinking in his heart that there was nothing important about him returning to Konoha except for Beiliuhu. Originally, the research of Orochimaru Living Corpse Reincarnation Technique was very attractive to him, but unfortunately since After that, Orochimaru stopped looking for him.

Since there is nothing important, staying in the country of ghosts for some time has no effect.

After returning to the capital of the ghost country, Maitreya, as she said, summoned his ministers to discuss matters concerning the envoy of the country.

Facts have proved that even if it is a small and insignificant country, a lot of cumbersome matters will follow when things happen in national communication.

So when he officially set off for Numa no Country, it was already more than a month later.

Compared to the time when we went to the underground temple, the team stretched a lot, and the speed of marching naturally could not be said to be very fast.

After a month, Xia Shu had already adapted to the calmer pace of life, so after several comments, she didn't bother to say anything.

It is not so boring to practice Sage Mode every day, fill in the ‘dimensional thieves’, and practice the S-level Soul Ninjutsu Spiritualization Technique occasionally.

Especially when there is such a pleasing beauty as Maitreya.

If it weren't for his firm will, I'm afraid he would be stuck in it.
