Chapter 111 Maitreya's Prophecy Bet
The Uchiha members stood behind Mo, their eyes wide as they looked at Miroku kneeling on the ground.
Mo ignored them and simply raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Lift your head and look at me."
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman slowly straightened up and looked at Uchiha Mo's face. The snowflake-like lines in her eyes seemed to shift slightly.
"Can you see when I will die?" Mo asked calmly.
Maitreya was taken aback by what she heard, then focused her attention on Mo Junxiu's face. The lines in her eyes slowly shifted, and an image suddenly flashed into her mind.
It was a huge black snake, its body tens of meters long, with dragon horns on its head and scarlet eyes.
It roared and howled at Uchiha Mo, then burst forth, its massive body accompanied by a strong wind, and opened its blood-red maw to bite down, splattering blood everywhere!
"————"
Maitreya trembled, regaining her senses. She looked into Mo's eyes, pursed her lips, and hesitated before saying, "You—you will be bitten to death by the demon."
"What did you say?!"
"That woman spouting nonsense! Let's kill her!"
"The clan leader is the strongest ninja in the world, how could he possibly die?! If you dare to spout any more nonsense, I'll rip your tongue out!"

As soon as Miroku finished speaking, a chilling atmosphere filled the entire hall. One by one, the Uchiha clan members lit up their crimson eyes, standing beside Mo and staring at her with hostile expressions. Miroku was certain that if the man in front of him gave the order, they would swarm her and chop her into mincemeat.
She looked at Mo, her body trembling uncontrollably.
Miroku is not afraid of death; death is the fate of a priestess. She is only afraid that after her death, the demons will no longer be under her control and will destroy the entire world.
Mo raised a hand, and the crowd gradually quieted down, but their cold gazes remained fixed on Maitreya.
He said calmly, "Then let's make a bet."
"What are we betting on?" Maitreya shifted his body, blinking nervously.
"I'm betting on whether I'll die. If I die, the Uchiha will retreat, and the Land of Demons will return to its former peace. If I survive and completely subdue the demons, from now on, the Land of Demons will have to obey the Uchiha."
Perhaps it was Mo's calmness after learning of his death prophecy, or perhaps it was his stable emotions that calmed Miroku's uneasy feelings a little. Looking into Mo's clear, pure eyes, she solemnly said, "The priestess's death prophecy will never be wrong. The scene in the prophecy will definitely happen. It has never been wrong from ancient times to the present."
""
".——
""
Mo's expression was calm, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
Generally speaking, a priestess's prophecies are indeed accurate, but the course of the prophecy can be altered to some extent by the priestess's own understanding, especially when it comes to matters of spirits and demons.
Mo was absolutely certain of this, because before taking action, he had already used his clairvoyance to detect the aura of the demon through the seal.
Whether it's the soul residing in the underground palace of the Land of Demons or the physical body sealed within the Land of Swamp, aside from their exceptionally pure aura, their chakra strength is merely that of slightly stronger elite Jonin. Even if the two were combined, their combined power wouldn't surpass that of a powerful Kage.
"Enough with the nonsense. The clan leader is asking if you want to gamble or not. Just give him an answer." Hina stood behind Uchiha Mo, looking impatient.
"I----"
A faint blush suddenly appeared on Miroku's fair face as he spoke, "I haven't yet passed on the power of the priestess. If you fail to subdue the demon, and I lose my life due to the seal, then this world is doomed—"
Mo frowned slightly upon hearing this, and thought about it in his mind.
In the theatrical version of "Naruto's Death", the female protagonist Shion is about the same age as Naruto, and she was indeed far from being born at this time.
"How about you distinguished guests come back in a few years?" Maitreya asked tentatively when he saw Mo fall silent.
"What happens in the future is none of my business. I'll give you three days to consider: accept the bet or we can find another way to negotiate."
It was clear that Mo would not accept this proposal.
Before Miroku could reply, Uchiha Mo stood up and led the Uchiha group toward the gate.
The group quickly reached the doorway, at which point Maitreya suddenly snapped out of his daze and shouted, "Wait!"
Mo paused, turned around, and saw Maitreya say, "I will consider it carefully, but no matter the outcome, you are all guests of my Ghost Kingdom. I will arrange accommodations for you, please wait a moment."
Maitreya learned a lot from the recent prophecy. She knew that this group of people were all formidable and powerful. Maitreya couldn't feel at ease letting them find their own place to settle down.
After saying this, Maitreya quickly stood up, then jogged past the crowd and left the main hall first.
"Clan leader?" Yao Wei turned his gaze, his eyes filled with question.
"Just wait and see."
Mo responded calmly.
Just then, Maitreya's figure passed by the entrance of the main hall again, but this time, she was accompanied by a man with long black hair and a somewhat gloomy face.
"Lord Maitreya, the power I developed is perfectly capable of controlling the demons; we need not be so afraid of them! The demons' power can be utilized!"
"Huang Quan, let's not talk about this again! The power of the demons is beyond your imagination; it's not something you can control."
As the sound gradually faded, the two figures also gradually disappeared into the distance.
Mo's gaze fell on the man's back, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on his expressionless face.
"Chieftain, why don't we just take over the Witch Village? These people are no match for us, and so is that demon. We can just release it, and it won't matter if the priestess disagrees."
Yao Wei asked with some doubt, not questioning Mo's decision, but simply feeling puzzled.
"Professional matters should be handled by professionals. No matter how hard some people rack their brains to cause trouble, they can't compare to a real idiot coming up with a brilliant idea." Mo said calmly, already having an idea in mind.
"The smell of medicine."
He called out softly, and Yaowei immediately came to Mo's side.
"Chief, please give your orders."
"Over the next three days, take your people around this village, investigate the situation thoroughly, observe carefully, and let them see if this place is suitable."
"Okay! I understand. Then, Chieftain—"
"Hina and Kazuya will also stay."
"yes!"
Hina Uchiha and Kazuya Uchiha exchanged a glance, a slight smile appearing on their faces.
