Konoha Thief

Chapter 505 Mission Delegation
"The rule that only witches can enter the underground temple is actually set up to hide the relationship between witches and monsters, and has no other meaning." Walking slowly into the dark underground temple, Maitreya said to Xia who was beside him. Tree said mockingly.

"Those who can sacrifice themselves for others are people with extremely noble character, and they are worthy of respect and remembering." Xia Shu followed Maitreya to the door that was emitting a faint light, and said slowly: "What's more, witches and monsters It used to be one, now it's 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."

The moment she tilted her head and smiled, Maitreya's hands formed a mudra, exuding a pure light from her whole body, which made her pure white and flawless. Looking back at Gu Pan's smiling face, Xia Shu couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

"You're welcome." Xia Shu nodded slightly.

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

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

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

"Let me out, miko!"

A hoarse and gloomy voice suddenly sounded, echoing in the underground temple, full of resentment and anger.

Hearing this voice, Xia Shu frowned slightly, because he seemed to vaguely see the other party in his mind. The dark purple monster opened its teeth and claws, and thousands of heads danced, making him feel like he was locked.

"As long as I'm here, don't even think about hurting anyone!"

Maitreya looked at the phantom of the monster, and snorted coldly, the pure white light between the folded hands lit up, the light was not dazzling, and rushed towards the sealed door, like boiling water poured on the snow, washing away the traces of monsters !

"Huh! Startled me~"

The pure white light from Maitreya's body dissipated, and he patted his chest in shock. Unfortunately, no one appreciated the wonderful scenery at this moment.

"Oh? What's wrong with you?" Turning around, Mitreya noticed Xia Shu's abnormality. He frowned and looked at it, and quickly came up with the answer, "Are you distracted?"

The shaking of the fingers in front of him made Xia Shu slowly come back to his senses, and while taking a deep breath, he smiled and grabbed the delicate and soft palm in front of him.

"As expected of a monster that can threaten the entire ninja world."

There was a hint of lingering fear in Xia Shu's emotional tone, he raised his hand under Mitreya's suspicious gaze, and a black mist like a dark cloud slowly appeared in his hand.

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

"The soul fragments of sprites." Xia Shu gave the answer, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised sarcastically, and said: "You and him come from the same source, so it's normal to feel familiar. It's a pity that you use your voice to cover up the movements at the soul level. it's me!"

"Just now..." Mi Le suddenly widened his eyes, realized what happened just now, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I accidentally missed it."

"It's okay." Xia Shu shook his head, shook the palm of his hand, and destroyed the ghost's remnant soul, thinking: Thanks to the technique of spiritualization, otherwise, although this remnant soul is not enough to change my will, I am afraid it will gradually change. Like Huang Quan, who is obsessed with the Millennium Kingdom and wants to release the lunatics who subvert the ninja world.

"The seal has been restored, let's get out of here." Maitreya didn't like the environment of the underground temple, seeing that Xia Shu seemed to be really unaffected, he hurriedly urged.

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

Walking out of the gate of the underground temple, Gui Yi, who had been waiting anxiously for a long time, rushed over and checked Maitreya's condition repeatedly, even though Maitreya was not at ease even saying that he was fine.

The journey of 'worshiping' the underground temple was over, and the convoy was preparing to return to the capital, when Xia Shu bid farewell to Maitreya.

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

"Wait a minute, I want to issue a mission to you." Mitreya quickly interrupted him when he heard the words, "The body of the ghost is sealed in the mysterious shrine in the marsh 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 country of swamp and strengthen the seal of the mysterious shrine."

"Uh..." Xia Shu was slightly startled, and hesitated: "You can issue this kind of mission to Konoha, but I'm not actually..."

"Although the kingdom of ghosts is not rich, the commission for an S-level task is still available. If you add more, I believe that as an employer, I should be able to appoint someone to complete the task." Mitreya's eyes were full of persistence. Staring at Natsuki, he said, "If you don't want to waste time going back to Konoha and running back again, I will issue tasks to Konoha as you said."

Xia Shu looked at the silver-haired priestess speechlessly, but only got a tougher look from the other party, and in the end he had no choice but to surrender.

"Okay, I've accepted this task."

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

Xia Shu shook his head and sighed at this, looked at the other party and said, "Actually, if it's just you, I can promise to go back and forth in two days."

"As a maiden of the ghost country, there will inevitably be some ostentation. Besides, visiting other countries can be regarded as an international diplomatic event. I don't need to care about the details, but I represent the ghost country after all." Mi Le shook his head with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Oh!~" Natsuki sighed again, thinking in his heart that apart from Beiruhu, he didn't seem to have any other important things when he returned to Konoha. Originally, the research on Orochimaru's reincarnation technique was very attractive to him. It's a pity that since that time, Orochimaru no longer looks for him.

Since there is nothing important, staying in the ghost country for a while will have no effect.

After returning to the capital of the kingdom of ghosts, Maitreya, as she said, summoned his subjects to discuss the matter of going to the kingdom of marsh.

Facts have proved that even if it is an insignificant small country, when it comes to state diplomacy, there will be a lot of cumbersome matters to follow.

So when the official departure to the country of marshes, it was already more than a month later.

Compared with the time when they went to the underground temple, the team was much longer, and the speed of the movement was naturally not that fast.

After a month, Xia Shu had already gotten used to the soothing and peaceful pace of life, so after making several comments, he didn't bother to say anything more.

It's not so boring to practice the fairy mode every day, fill in the "dimension thief hand", and occasionally practice the S-level soul ninjutsu spiritualization technique.

Especially when there is such a pleasing beauty as Maitreya by his side.

If he hadn't been determined, he might have fallen into it.
