The Shrine Maiden Miroku's Extreme Itachi

Chapter 110 The Shrine Maiden Miroku's Extreme Itachi

"What does this mean?"

Hina asked in confusion, and the other Uchiha members looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

His dark eyes flickered slightly, and he had a guess in his mind. He raised his eyes and looked at the tall palace.

"Let's go."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo took the lead, and the others followed closely behind.

Without making any attempt to avoid the patrolling guards, the group headed straight for the palace in the center of the witch village.

Strangely, no one stopped them until they arrived at the palace. Even when patrolling guards bumped into them, they looked up at Uchiha Mo for a while and then pretended not to see him, leading their men to avoid the Uchiha group.

This strange reaction puzzled everyone even more, and filled with doubt, they followed Mo into the palace.

"Click—!"

Pushing open the door, the first-floor hall was incredibly empty, clearly the residence of a "shrine maiden," yet not a single guard could be seen. Only a woman with long brown hair and a pretty face, dressed in light-colored clothes, knelt in the center of the hall.

The woman stared at Uchiha Mo's face for a while, then slowly lowered her body and knelt on the ground.

"Maitreya has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Itachi, let's call it a day. You're still young and need to take care of your health."

"Small"

Shisui reinserted the wakizashi into its sheath on his back and looked down at Uchiha Itachi on the ground.

Itachi nodded, not trying to be brave, but asked with some confusion, "But my father always says that only by training hard enough and putting in more effort can one become stronger."

Shisui shook his head and chuckled softly. He took out bandages from his ninja tool pouch, bent down to bandage Itachi's wounds, and asked, "So, do you think your father's training method is correct, or my brother's training method is correct?"

Itachi thought for a moment, then replied, "The clan leader is stronger, so Shisui's older brother should be correct."

Upon hearing this, Shisui smiled, tore off the bandage, re-bandaged it, and then stood up.

"Alright, go back and rest. We won't be training physical skills tomorrow."

Itachi nodded, but didn't get up immediately. Instead, he suddenly asked, "Shisui, have you heard? The Third Hokage promised the clan head the position of Hokage advisor, but in reality, he secretly took away the clan head's right to run for Hokage—and—I heard yesterday that Kirigakure envoys came to the village for the first round of negotiations—"

He looked into Shisui's eyes, paused for a moment, and continued, "I think the Hidden Mist envoys will most likely demand the return of those swords, and then the Uchiha affair might not be able to be kept secret anymore—"

Uchiha had shown off these ninja swords quite a bit while on the front lines, but the leader of the Konoha army against the Hidden Mist was, after all, Uchiha Sumi.

Ordinary ninjas would hardly recognize these seven swords, and even if they did, they wouldn't associate them with "embezzlement".

When the Jonin saw that the Uchiha clan openly displayed these ninja swords, they naturally assumed that it was a temporary arrangement by their commander to increase their strength.

Furthermore, to prevent espionage, all letters sent back to Konoha are subject to inspection according to regulations.

Of course, the Third Hokage may have already known about this through possible spies in the military, but kept it to himself due to the objective condition that "he could not know at the moment".

"So, what do you think we Uchiha should do?"

Shisui narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Uchiha Itachi, his somewhat immature face showing a hint of scrutiny.

He has been guiding Itachi for over a year as instructed by his older brother, and it's time to see the initial results.

To be honest, Shisui quite liked this thoughtful little boy, so she didn't really want the two of them to end up on opposite sides in the future.

"Um--

Itachi lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Shisui and said in a childish voice, "Let's kill the Third Hokage!"

"What?"

Shisui looked puzzled, as if he hadn't heard clearly, but in reality, he couldn't believe what he had just heard.

Upon hearing this, Itachi straightened his little face and explained in a serious tone, "After the Hidden Mist envoy exposes the matter of the ninja sword, the Third Hokage will definitely come to demand it from us, and given the clan leader's personality, he will absolutely not give it to him! Therefore, the Hokage is very likely to take this opportunity to make a move, completely eliminating the Uchiha clan's possibility of competing for the Hokage position."

"Even without this incident, it would have been virtually impossible for the Uchiha clan to become a Hokage candidate during the Third Hokage's reign—but if we secretly eliminate him before the Hokage election and before he uses his ninja sword to unleash his power—"

"At that time, Konoha was leaderless. With his immense strength and the achievements and prestige he accumulated during the Three Wars, the clan leader was certain to become the Fourth Hokage!"

Itachi's face showed certainty.

Shisui paused for a moment, then subconsciously thought for a moment before asking, "What about the Daimyo? Even if the Konoha election passes, the position of Hokage requires the Daimyo's authorization. My brother is too young; the Daimyo would never agree."

"We have Sharingan."

'

Shisui snapped out of his daze, remained silent for a moment, and then looked at the little boy sitting on the ground with a complicated expression.

At that moment, he understood why his older brother had described Itachi as possessing an extreme degree of danger.

Seeing this, Itachi assumed Shisui was still hesitating and continued, "Shisui, we Uchiha are a clan of love. Only under our leadership will Konoha and the ninja world become more and more peaceful and better! The clan head is more suitable to be a leader than the Third Hokage."

"For this reason, necessary sacrifices are unavoidable."

Under the deliberate guidance of Mo and Shisui, Itachi's stance became clear, eliminating the entire wavering process. He instantly found his balance in the question of "what is a village, what is a clan".

Zhi Shui's lips twitched, somewhat speechless.

"Have I completed the task my brother gave me? Why do I still feel like Itachi is in danger? —"

"Maitreya has been waiting for you for a long time."

"?" Xn

The Uchiha group looked at the woman kneeling in the hall with puzzled expressions.

Mo walked into the hall expressionlessly, and sat down cross-legged in front of Maitreya.

"prophecy?"

As soon as the two words were spoken, Maitreya's body, which was prostrate on the ground, trembled, and then he calmly replied, "Yes."

Do you know my name?

"have no idea."

"My purpose."

"We can see part of it."

-

Mo nodded knowingly.

The "shrine maidens" of the Land of Demons are born with two abilities: foresight and sealing.

The "shrine maiden's" prophetic abilities are rather unique; she can only see the scene before a person's death. However, if Miroku sees enough scenes, it is not impossible for her to piece together an event based on those scenes.

This explains why the guards the Uchiha group encountered on the street were so strange.

They would have died from their obstruction, but Miroku, through the continuous and intense images of the deaths of those around him, sketched out a general process in his mind, thus preventing the guards from acting in advance and saving their lives.

"A prophecy?! This woman has the ability to foresee the future?"
