[Land of Demons]
"So this is the place? It's way too close to the palace."
Yomi arrived at a desolate land full of broken stones.
It looked ordinary here, nothing special about the place.
This location was only a few metres away from the shrine maiden's palace.
Black Zetsu poked a head out from the ground, "I've already investigated. This is the sealed place you're looking for."
"There's a formation here, so the true appearance can't be seen."
Yomi slightly focused his mind, "Don't worry. As long as you tell me the place, I'll join your organization."
Although he didn't know what this thing that looked like a pitcher plant was, since it came offering help, naturally, he wouldn't let it go.
As for joining the organization, it depended on what benefits the organization could provide.
Black Zetsu walked toward a direction, "Follow behind me."
Yomi calculated in his mind and followed behind Black Zetsu.
Black Zetsu constantly changed directions, and there were a few times Yomi walked straight into a wall, yet his body passed through directly.
Finally, they arrived at the entrance to a hidden underground palace.
The underground palace had a massive five-meter-tall stone gate. On the left and right of the gate stood four guards.
But the four guards were already lying on the ground now, and a masked person was leaning beside the stone gate.
"Why are you only getting here now?", Obito said discontentedly.
Zetsu glanced at Yomi, "We were delayed a bit."
"Our mission is already completed. As for how to open it, we're not needed anymore, right?"
Yomi looked at the massive stone gate, his face already showing fanaticism and excitement.
'That voice calling to me is just beneath this!'
"I'll handle the rest," Yomi quickly came to the front of the stone gate.
Standing at the gate, he began forming hand seals, muttering a language that Obito had never heard before.
The sound drifted out, echoing constantly in the valley, as if a demon were licking your ears.
An indescribable sticky and disgusting sensation.
Creaking sounds came from the stone gate, some runes emerged, and then shattered one by one.
Yomi exerted all his strength to push the stone gate. Although it was five meters tall, he still managed to push open a gap.
After he squeezed in, Obito passed directly through behind him.
Yomi walked down the stairs without looking back at what had happened behind him.
Once air flowed in, the lamps on both sides of the stairs lit up one by one.
Yomi's eyes were full of anticipation and longing, hurrying downward.
Obito and Zetsu exchanged a glance and slowly followed, but much more slowly.
By the time the two of them got down, they discovered a huge space below.
Stone platforms were on all sides, and in the middle of the crisscrossing stone platforms was a circular stone coffin.
Six interwoven beams of light crisscrossed over the stone coffin, suppressing it faintly glowing black.
Yomi had already arrived before the six beams of light, chanting incantations non-stop.
"What language is he speaking?", Obito asked curiously.
Zetsu shook his head, pretending not to know, "Never heard it before. Probably some kind of incantation."
"So what exactly is this sealed demon thing?", Obito was a bit curious.
Zetsu spoke, "This isn't really a secret. Many years ago, a powerful shrine maiden appeared in the Land of Demons."
"The shrine maiden feared that her immense power's evil thoughts would cause a disaster, so she extracted her evil thoughts and sealed them."
"But this evil thought could absorb nearby people's inner malice and grow endlessly. Eventually, it became the demon."
Obito couldn't help laughing, "So the demon's original form is the shrine maiden's evil thoughts?"
Zetsu confirmed, "Yes. This demon probably hasn't seen daylight for decades. It was only sealed by the previous shrine maiden sacrificing her life."
"This is just the shrine maiden suffering the consequences of her own actions, right?", Obito shook his head.
Zetsu wasn't surprised, "It's been so long, something like this isn't rare at all."
As Obito and Zetsu chatted, Yomi had already reached the final part of his chant. His hand seal suddenly changed and pressed directly onto the white light beam.
His hand instantly made a sizzling sound like roasting meat, but Yomi seemed to feel no pain at all, firmly pressing his hand against the white light.
All that could be heard was, crack! crack!, like the sound of cookies being broken.
The six beams of white light shattered one by one.
The circular stone coffin in the middle exploded instantly, even blasting Yomi away.
A wave of purple-black chakra burst forth. Even though Obito and Zetsu were far away, they could feel the sinister aura within it.
"Ah, how nostalgic. This scent of the living world."
"How many years has it been? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA…"
A deep, muffled laughter continuously echoed throughout the space.
Obito's face became somewhat grim. He hadn't taken the demon seriously at first.
But now with the seal broken, the chakra on the demon's body was nearly equivalent to a Tailed Beast.
Obito became cautious as well. After all, the opponent was too strong. This partnership was risky, and there was no way to restrain this demon.
Only Zetsu remained calm. He understood the opponent's power clearly.
But he also had follow-up plans.
Yomi climbed up from the ground, "Welcome to freedom, Lord Moryo."
"Who are you?"
Yomi knelt on one knee, face full of piety, "I am Yomi, called here by your will, come to aid your liberation."
"Hmm…"
"Where is my flesh body? With only a soul, I will dissipate in moments."
Yomi stood up, "Please use my body as your vessel."
"I can use Dark Medical Jutsu to transfer your soul into my body," As he spoke, Yomi pulled out a scalpel and skillfully opened his chest.
Then he spread his chest to both sides.
But the inside of his opened chest was a chaos of darkness, not a trace of flesh and blood visible.
Obito's gaze sharpened, "Dark Medical Jutsu? Seems it's actually useful."
The demon didn't hesitate for long and transformed into a purple-black mist, rushing into Yomi's body.
Yomi let out a miserable scream, feeling himself instantly filled up.
But once the demon completely entered his body, that bloated feeling quickly subsided.
Yomi took out surgical thread and scalpel, his hands moving skillfully, and in a few seconds completed the stitching, without a drop of blood.
After completing the stitching, Yomi raised his head, his eyes had turned purple-black.
"Hehehehe… HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Let me establish my eternal dynasty from this very moment!"
The demon's voice came from Yomi's mouth, accompanied by an explosion of chakra filled with malice.
BOOM!
A huge hole suddenly burst open in the ceiling above.
"Demon, you really broke the seal!", A cold female voice came.
Miroku held a magical instrument, draped in radiance, her hand seals shifting, shooting a mass of light toward the demon.
When struck by the white light, the demon reacted like being scalded by boiling water.
He merely controlled Yomi's body, constantly screaming and dodging the white light's rays.
"Damn it! You're the shrine maiden of this generation?"
