Two days later.

On the sea, a cargo ship was breaking through the waves and heading towards the Land of Waves.

On this wooden boat, there were several people in strange clothes.

The leader was a woman.

(Shion and Naruto were the same age. There were also scenes in the plot where Shion recalled her life with her mother. When Shion got the bell, she looked quite old, so it was reasonable that Miroku was still alive before Shion was ten years old.)

She was wearing a red and white witch costume. In the bright sunshine, her whole body seemed to be glowing. Her long white hair hung down to her ankles, and it seemed like a silk dress draped behind her.

She was tall and dignified. Although the years left some traces on her face, it also added a bit of unique charm to her.

Her eyebrows revealed intelligence and courage, and she always had a gentle smile on her face.

She was not alone. On her right hand, she was holding a little girl who was also wearing a red and white shrine maiden costume and looked about 70% similar to her.

The little girl was blinking her purple eyes and curiously looking at the scenery on the sea.

The shadow of an island could be vaguely seen in the distance.

And around them, there were several guards in traditional costumes, always protecting her and alert to possible dangers.

"Lord Miroku, we are about to arrive."

A guard wearing glasses said to the woman very respectfully.

Miroku nodded and said in a gentle tone.

"Zhuho, because this matter is too serious, I can't explain the purpose of this trip to you. I'm sorry."

Miroku's original intention was just to bring his daughter Shion, mother and daughter alone.

But after all, it was such a big thing for the shrine maiden to leave the Land of Demons. In order to reassure her subordinates, she still brought a team of guards.

Otherwise, with Miroku's strength, it is not certain who will protect whom.

The Ghost Country is also a special existence in the Ninja World.

In addition to the five major countries, the Fire Country, the Earth Country, the Water Country, the Wind Country, and the Thunder Country, there are many small countries in the Ninja World.

Most of these small countries have very small territories, and their status in the Ninja World is very embarrassing. Because of their weak national strength, many small countries must be affiliated with a big country to ensure their survival.

Not all small countries will choose to rely on big countries, and many small countries choose to become a neutral country in order to protect themselves.

But not all small countries that refuse big countries will be classified as neutral countries.

For example, the Rain Country, the Grass Country...

Although these countries are small countries and do not want to rely on big countries, they have not become neutral countries, but have become "big country buffer zones". They may not have anything to do at ordinary times, but at critical times, they are battlefields, and there is a risk of destruction at any time.

Only small countries like the Snow Country, the Iron Country, and the Soup Country, which are relatively remote, have special significance, and have a certain national strength, can become neutral countries.

Big countries rarely put battlefields on these neutral countries.

The Land of Demons is one of the few neutral countries, and it is also a special one.

Its ruling mode is different from most countries in the Ninja World.

Although the Land of Demons is ruled by the Daimyo on the surface.

But when it comes to actually managing the country, the Daimyo and the Miko jointly exercise power.

It’s just that the Miko rarely interferes in the internal affairs of the Land of Demons, so the countries in the Ninja World rarely pay attention to it.

The privilege of the Miko of the Land of Demons is given by God and status, and also by her own powerful abilities.

The Miko of the Land of Demons has the power to see through the future, and also has some mysterious power, shouldering the responsibility of guarding and sealing the demons.

And the monster named "Wangliang" has the characteristics of the tailed beast. While it has a terrifying power, it cannot be completely killed. Only the Miko can seal it. This is why the Miko enjoys a special status.

It is also one of the reasons why the Land of Demons can become a neutral country.

However, the ability of the shrine maiden to predict the future is only widely known in the Land of Demons and surrounding countries.

It is said that the shrine maiden's ability to predict the future is 100% accurate, and there has not been a single mistake so far.

And Miroku went to the Land of Waves this time because of what he saw in the prophecy.

Azuho, ​​who was wearing glasses, immediately bowed and saluted, saying.

"It is my duty to protect Lord Miroku, and Lord Miroku does not need to explain to me."

The other guards also bowed together, indicating that they were the same.

The shrine maiden itself represents the faith of the Land of Demons. In a sense, the status of the shrine maiden in the Land of Demons is higher than that of the daimyo.

So the guards of the shrine maiden, by virtue ofWith faith, she is far more loyal than other guards.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Miroku also nodded to them in return.

"Mom, can't Shion know?"

The little Shion shook the hand holding Miroku's, pouting and saying with some dissatisfaction.

Seeing his daughter's dissatisfaction, Miroku's eyes became more doting.

She held Shion's hand with her right hand, gently bent down, looked at Shion at eye level, and touched her head with her left hand.

"After we get to the Land of Waves, Mom will tell you."

With Shion's ability, she can also see that future, but the opponent's power is too strong. If it cannot be fully mastered, it will easily become a monster like a ghost.

So Shion's power was sealed by Miroku a long time ago, so she still doesn't know anything now.

The reason why Miroku brought Shion this time is also to solve this problem.

"Oh~ Riding in a carriage or a boat is so tiring."

Shion went straight into Miroku's arms and started to act like a spoiled child.

"We'll be there soon, and I heard there's a school in Wave Country with many children like you. Maybe you can make a lot of friends there."

"Really?" Shion's eyes widened.

"Aren't they afraid of me?"

"Of course it's true."

Miroku touched her hair with some heartache.

Although the miko is deeply believed in, her power is often feared.

The residents of the Ghost Country also stay away from Shion.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Another round of footsteps sounded on the deck.

Miroku looked over and saw that it was also a tall woman, tall, with long purple hair, gentle and mature temperament. Beside her, there was also a little boy of six or seven years old.

"Miss Xia Rixing, little Smail, good morning."

Miroku greeted the two with a smile.

"Miroku-sama, Shion-sama, good morning."

Xia Rixing also greeted respectfully.

The Bear Country borders the Ghost Country, and there are many people in the Bear Country who believe in witches, so they are also very clear about the status of witches.

Not only are they of noble status, but they are also the lifesavers of the mother and son, so Xia Rixing is quite respectful to Miroku and Shion.
