The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 376 Ancient Artifacts

hateful!

Obito clenched his fist; Madara was surprisingly cautious.

"Do you have a solution?"

The demon let out a muffled laugh: "The simplest way for you to remove the thing from your body is to continue practicing dark healing arts."

As he spoke, Wangliang stood up, pulled out a scalpel from his body, took off the clothes on his arm, and plunged the scalpel directly into his arm.

He cut right down to the shoulder blade from the arm, and not a drop of blood seeped out.

Peeling back the skin, you find that the demon's body has no bones inside; it's filled entirely with purplish-black dark energy.

"To get to this point, you need to help me find something."

After saying that, the demon pinched the skin with its hand, and the wound closed up instantly.

Even Obito's right side of his body didn't have this kind of recovery speed.

Having reached this point, Obito also sat down.

What are you looking for?

"Earth Vein Energy Collector".

The demon uttered a word that Obito had never heard before.

What are ley lines?

The demon didn't laugh at him, because this was something that only a small group of people knew.

He sat down on the ground as well: "To understand the earth's veins, you first need to know that there is a great deal of energy in this world that can be utilized."

"Chakra is just something that many people use, but that doesn't mean it's suitable for everyone."

Obito's eyes flickered as if he was deep in thought.

The demon continued, "Generally speaking, energy is divided into physical energy, natural energy, and spiritual energy."

"There is also energy that mixes with each other."

"Body energy chakra, mixed with natural energy, is Sage Mode energy."

“You’re very familiar with spiritual energy, so I won’t go into details.”

"The earth's veins normally nourish the land, but they also contain energy, a type of natural energy,"

"This is also the energy that drives the stone golem."

Obito nodded slightly and then explained how these stone golems moved.

So it's driven by the earth's vein energy.

“The earth’s veins are everywhere, but we cannot extract or utilize them.”

"These stone golems have limited power."

"The ley line energy collector can extract ley line energy for my use."

Obito has also gained some additional knowledge.

"Any clues?"

Without hesitation, Wangliang said, "Simple ley line energy collectors are no longer available."

"But there is a lost artifact that can extract energy from the earth's veins to create destructive weapons with the same effect."

"His name is 'Spear of Heaven'."

"According to records, it was a disc-shaped object that could unfold into the shape of a tall tower."

The black mist on the demon's body formed a small disc in front of Obito, and then after a transformation, it bulged out into a tall tower.

Obito observed it closely and memorized its appearance.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Obito waited for several seconds, but Moryo stopped talking and asked, "Where's the clue?"

The demon shook its head: "That's all."

He sounded incredibly rustic: "You only know the name and appearance and you expect me to find it?"

The demon let out a strange laugh: "If I had other clues, why would I need to find you?"

"This is an ancient artifact after all. If you can find it, the absorbed earth energy could easily allow your dark healing techniques to reach this level."

Ancient artifacts?

As Obito pondered this word, he felt there was a lot to explore within it.

"The white thing you sent out has returned."

While he was pondering, Wangliang offered a reminder.

Obito also came to his senses, just as one of the White Zetsu he had just sent out popped its head out from underground.

"Izumo Town is empty; there is no living creature left."

Upon hearing White Zetsu's report, both Obito and Moryo's expressions darkened.

The worst has happened.

The opponent directly attacked from the bottom, removing the shrine maiden Miroku's weakness.

Even if the demons destroy the Land of Demons, Miroku will not appear.

"It seems you have no choice but to use the Ghost Army to attack Konoha."

Obito said helplessly.

Ideally, the demons would force out the Uchiha's power, but it seems they can use some unknown force to move civilians away.

These stone golems became useless.

It felt like being slapped in the face in the street.

The demon felt extremely humiliated, and in a fit of rage, he said:

"Hmph, it just takes a little more time."

"I don't believe he can move all the people of Konoha Village away."

Obito calculated the distance from the Land of Demons to Konoha and the speed at which the stone golems traveled.

“It would take you at least two months to get there this way, and that’s assuming you don’t take any detours.”

The demon calmed down:

"This is the only way. All three major ninja villages have designs on the Land of Fire."

"They should be very welcoming of my Ghost Legion."

……

The Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Fire.

This city is the largest city in the Land of Fire, besides Konoha Village.

The Sarutobi clan traveled through mountains and rivers.

They finally arrived here, but the Fire Country Merchant Guild's messenger bird had arrived before them.

The merchant guilds that remained near the daimyo prefecture all jointly submitted a memorial to the daimyo.

The meaning is simple: Hiruzen Sarutobi is not a good person; he tried to get something for nothing from them.

Be careful, he might come to Daming Prefecture and cause chaos here.

Tell the daimyo not to let Sarutobi and his group into the city.

Otherwise, the Chamber of Commerce won't take care of Daming Prefecture when it comes to buying and selling goods in the future.

This is tantamount to a blatant threat.

After all, the Chamber of Commerce had previously been defeated by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The daimyo are well aware of the grudges between these chambers of commerce and Hiruzen Sarutobi.

However, the daimyo actually dared not offend Hiruzen Sarutobi.

So they chose a compromise: to let the civilians in Sarutobi's group enter the city.

The daimyo's excuse for stationing ninja teams outside was also quite legitimate.

Too many ninjas entering the city could easily cause chaos.

That's true, after all, the gap between ordinary people and ninjas in this world is huge.

These ordinary people died instantly if they came into contact with a ninja.

If you die elsewhere, you just die. But in this city, there are many people of high status, and it's easy to cause unnecessary trouble.

However, the daimyo did not dare to forbid ninjas from entering the city, but only allowed a small number of them to enter.

And so, Sarutobi, Shimura, Utatane, Mitomon, and other commoners from the ninja clans entered the city together.

And they were quickly provided with accommodation.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others went to find the daimyo.

"Oh my, isn't this the Third Hokage? You must have had a tough journey."

Daming appeared very kind, like a good-natured person.

After all, Sarutobi Asuma had served as one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas for many years.

He arrived early to make arrangements, and the civilians under Hiruzen Sarutobi were quickly settled in.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi was travel-worn, he was still in good spirits.

Although the plan deviated somewhat, we got everything we were supposed to get.

Now he just needs to wait for other ninja villages to invade, and the opportunity will come.

"This is also causing trouble for the daimyo."

His name was full of amiable smiles:

"No, no, news has come from Konoha Village that Uchiha Chiyo has succeeded as the Fifth Hokage."

The official name is basically only mentioned in polite and descriptive terms, with no other details mentioned.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had clearly received the news; his expression remained unchanged.

"I had some misunderstandings with Uchiha Chiyo, and I would appreciate it if the Daimyo could mediate between us."

The daimyo chuckled and said, "No problem, no problem. I'll send someone to Konoha to find out what's going on and then come back to negotiate with you."

The distance from the Daimyo's residence to Konoha takes even ninjas several days to travel, let alone ordinary people.

This back-and-forth communication and wrangling will take who knows how long.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not intend to rely on the daimyo.

He's just making up a reason and an excuse.

"Thank you very much. I will be troubling you for the time being."

Daming said amicably, "I will make arrangements for your people. Any misunderstandings can be cleared up later."
