Naruto: All I want to do after transforming into Akali is be happy!

Chapter 165 The Mismatched Shion

"Is it difficult to cross the front line?" Naruto asked blankly after hearing Darui's words.

He didn't understand why Darui was making such a big deal out of simply crossing the front lines.

“Indeed!” Sasuke nodded, agreeing with Naruto’s words.

“You arrived late, so you are unaware of the situation!” Darui sighed.

"Actually, we Cloud Ninjas had tried to cross the front line to seek out the priestess before, but once the number of ninjas crossing the line reached a certain limit, the smuggling ninjas would immediately be surrounded and killed by the soldiers."

"The same applies to the infiltration of individual ninjas. If you don't surround them at first, you will still have to surround them later."

"It's as if they've put an eye on one of our people."

"Otherwise, why would we need to wait for them to arrive before starting?"

"I see!" After hearing Darui's words, everyone suddenly understood.

"So this time we're not sneaking in, but launching a full-scale attack?" Sasuke asked.

“You could say that!” Darui nodded and continued, “Those who frequently launch offensives know that while offensives are easy, breakthroughs are difficult, and the direction of the offensive is very important.”

“This is my choice!” Darui pointed to the marching line of the Wraith Soldiers on the map.

"Here?!" Naruto asked in surprise, "This is the route of the Wraith Soldier. Isn't going here just walking into a trap?"

Sasuke, having figured it out, explained, "Naruto, you're wrong. This is indeed the supply line for the Moryo mercenaries, but their mercenaries are moving towards the front lines and won't stay here indefinitely."

"On the contrary, because soldiers and mercenaries frequently pass through this area, it's likely a hidden gem. Going here might actually present an opportunity!"

"As expected of the Uchiha clan, they're really smart!" Darui praised Sasuke.

“Then let’s go here. Does everyone agree?” Darui looked at the crowd.

Heitu nodded: "No!"

Temari glanced at Akali and, seeing that Akali hadn't said anything, nodded as well: "Okay."

Chojuro and Ao exchanged a glance. This time, there were the fewest Mist Ninja, so there was nothing more to say: "We will follow orders."

After the Cloud Ninja initiated the proposal, and the Iwa Ninja, Suna Ninja, and Kirigakure Ninja successively agreed, everyone's eyes turned to Akali.

Akali waved her hand: "Anything's fine!"

According to Darui, he would be detected no matter where he went, which must be the work of White Zetsu.

So she didn't bother to say anything about the breakthrough route this time. Anyway, it would all come down to fighting, so she just fought.

Once the decision was made, the group set off.

There's not much to say about the journey. This time, the ninjas searching for the shrine maiden are all elites. They cut straight through the terrain, and nothing can stop them, whether it's remote mountains and treacherous waters or steep cliffs.

In just two days, the group arrived at the vicinity of the Demon Army Line, located at the border between the Land of Demons and the Land of Swamps.

As a scout, Kirigakure Ao activated his Byakugan to observe the situation.

But as soon as he activated his Byakugan, he let out a surprised "Eh!"

"What's wrong?" Sasuke asked.

"Did I see things?" Qing closed her eyes, rubbed them, and opened them again. "Otherwise, why do I think I saw a priestess from the Land of Demons up ahead?"

"What?!" Everyone was shocked upon hearing Qing's words.

“Where?” Darui asked.

"One o'clock ahead, in a cave 1000 meters away. Ah, she sensed me, she's waving at me!" Qing couldn't hide her surprise.

"go!"

They originally came to find the priestess of the Land of Demons, and since the priestess had somehow appeared in front of them, there was no reason not to go.

The group immediately sped up and rushed towards the cave Qing had mentioned, like an arrowhead.

Akali was the fastest among them, so she was the first to arrive.

Seemingly sensing her arrival, Shion, the priestess of the Oni Kingdom, who was sitting on the large rock at the cave entrance, turned her head: "You've come, Lady Akali!"

"What's going on with you?" Akali frowned slightly as she looked at Ziyuan.

Because of Shion's white hair and white eyes, Akali couldn't see any light in her pure white eyes at this moment. Even though Shion was facing her, Akali couldn't feel any gaze at all, as if she were blind.

"It's nothing, I'm just blind, it doesn't affect my vision." Knowing what Akali was thinking, Ziyuan smiled gently: "In fact, I can see even more after I went blind."

"..."

Akali fell silent as she looked at Violet.

In the original work, Shion was ostracized because she always predicted the deaths of others, and she herself was also withdrawn and sensitive.

But now, if you ignore her girlish appearance, Shion looks exactly like a typical charlatan or riddle teller.

Quiet and elegant, with an ethereal temperament, she remains calm and composed even in dangerous situations, as if everything is under control.

"They're practically two different people!" Akali thought to herself. "Something's wrong."

Akali then probed directly, "You seem a little different from the intelligence reports. Who are you?"

"I..." Ziyuan was about to answer.

next second.

"Swish swish swish swish—"

The rest of the people have arrived.

Seeing that she couldn't talk to Akali, Ziyuan playfully winked at Akali.

“This little girl…” Akali raised an eyebrow, becoming somewhat interested in this Violet.

However, with so many people around right now, it's not a good time to get close to the girls.

Akali remained silent for the time being, waiting for everyone to talk to Violet.

after a while……

"You mean, after absorbing the guardian that possessed your power, the current Wraith is already in its complete form?" Darui asked incredulously.

"Then what should we do? Can it still be sealed?" Black Earth asked.

“Of course!” Shion nodded: “Ashiho… although I inherited his power and used the Shadow Mirror Reversal Technique to make him look like the real me, he is ultimately not me.”

"Men cannot become priestesses, so the demon still has weaknesses."

"What flaw?" Temari pressed.

"When the demon unleashes its full power, a weak point will appear within its body. That weak point is where the foot tassels that the demon devoured are located."

Shion said, "As long as we break through the weak point at that time, all the power of the demon will be released like a flood that has been released from its dam, never to return."

"Is it really that simple?" Heitu questioned.

"No, often the simpler the conditions, the harder they are to achieve."

Ziyuan shook her head: "My power has been completely devoured by the demon, which is why I was able to escape and send the message. So I can't help in this battle. I can only provide the demon's location and help you find its weak point."

"So, esteemed ninjas, do you possess the power to force the demon to unleash its full strength?"

"This..." Ziyuan's question stumped everyone.

As the source of the calamity that swept across the entire ninja world, it's easy to imagine how powerful the demon's power is.

When asked if they could satisfy the demons, they really didn't have the confidence to do so.

Subconsciously, everyone looked at the girl who hadn't said much since they arrived.

Akali smiled confidently: "Of course!"
