Chapter 8 - Firebird

Regardless of Kaguya's thoughts, these no longer concerned Ketsuna.

The Ninja World's future was about to usher in the 'Goddess of the Rabbit Era' and the 'Six Paths Sage Era.' Ketsuna, lacking sufficient strength, could only continue to lie low.

Only at the right moment could his remaining Ōtsutsuki lineage be exposed within the Ninja World!

"It seems I'll have to lie low for at least a thousand years…"

Ketsuna wasn't without ambition, but having understood the history of Naruto, he dared not expose himself directly.

Lying low and developing was the correct path!

However, even if he had to lie low for a thousand years, he couldn't just do nothing!

"Then it's necessary to leave some hidden moves in the Ninja World…"

When Ketsuna thought of this, he subconsciously looked at Chimi again, and Chimi, noticing its boss looking at it, immediately showed a fawning smile that was uglier than crying.

"Come here."

Ketsuna waved at Chimi, signaling it to come over.

Seeing this, Chimi immediately scurried towards Ketsuna, then prostrated itself at Ketsuna's feet, obedient like a docile puppy.

"Lord Ketsuna, what do you need?"

Chimi cautiously raised its head and respectfully asked Ketsuna.

"How much do you know about the demons in this world?"

Ketsuna asked.

"Hehe, Lord, you've asked the right person!"

Upon hearing this, Chimi chuckled, then confidently began to explain: "From what I know, there are two types of demons in this world.

One type is like me, beings that descend from other worlds, but because the difficulty of descending from other worlds to this one is too great, not many demons have descended.

Including me, I estimate there are only four or five…"

"The other type of demon is native to this world.

The most powerful native demons are not many, but certainly not few.

For example, in the depths of the ocean, there sleeps a strange-looking and enormous old turtle.

In that huge Flame Mountain to the east, there lives a giant Firebird covered in flames.

In the ancient forest to the west, there's a large snake with four legs.

In the great rift valley to the north, there's a white tiger with wings…"

"There are even talking toads, slugs, and legless snakes…"

Chimi rattled off a long list, making Ketsuna understand that various powerful demons existed in this era, and they all seemed to possess unique abilities, sounding quite formidable.

However, listening to Chimi's description, Ketsuna always felt that some of the demons' characteristics were somewhat familiar, like the divine beasts from his memories of Huaxia…

"Where are the nearest demons? Take me to see."

Ketsuna nodded, and then a black and red swirling circular Space-Time Transportation gate suddenly appeared behind him.

He grabbed Chimi and directly took it out with him.

When they were back in the Ninja World, Ketsuna spoke to Chimi.

"Lord Ketsuna, the closest one to us is that demon Firebird to the east…"

Chimi pointed to the east and spoke to Ketsuna.

In Ketsuna's Byakugan vision, there was a huge Flame Mountain slowly spewing lava.

"Let's go!"

As Ketsuna spoke, he directly floated quickly towards the huge Flame Mountain.

Chimi, seeing this, also transformed into a purple-black energy body and quickly followed.

Although Chimi said that the demon Firebird in the Flame Mountain was the closest to them, Ketsuna still spent about an hour to reach it.

Ketsuna stopped and floated above the mouth of the huge Flame Mountain, looking down at his feet.

Within a thousand li radius, there were no traces of life.

The only life fluctuation was inside the Flame Mountain, so the demon Firebird Chimi mentioned must be it!

"Sukuna Hikona!"

"Daikokuten!"

Pupil power surged from his golden rice-patterned eyes.

Pupil Technique · Sukuna Hikona directly landed on that huge Flame Mountain, causing it to rapidly shrink.

And as the pupil power intensified, that Flame Mountain abruptly disappeared, then was absorbed into the time-stopped alternate dimension by Pupil Technique · Daikokuten.

The disappearance of the huge Flame Mountain not only startled Chimi floating beside him, but even the demon Firebird soaking in the lava inside that Flame Mountain was stunned.

This scene made it feel both ashamed and extremely angry, much like a woman comfortably taking a bath, but the water suddenly disappeared, and most importantly, someone was staring at her…

At this moment, Ketsuna was slightly out of breath.

Expending a large amount of pupil power at once to shrink this huge Flame Mountain was also a considerable burden for him, but from the result, it was still within Ketsuna's acceptable range.

"You are the demon Firebird?"

After Ketsuna calmed his breathing, he began to speak to the stunned Firebird.

The latter seemed somewhat confused, not knowing how its home had so abruptly disappeared.

But as soon as Ketsuna spoke, it immediately met with the Firebird's attack.

Caw…

The Firebird, enveloped in flames, first let out a soul-shaking cry, then flapped its wings and flew high.

As it rose from the scorched ground, a beam of three-colored flames immediately shot out from its beak towards Ketsuna in mid-air, moving extremely fast and filled with high temperatures that distorted space!

Ketsuna felt that the incoming three-colored flames were terrifying.

Their temperature would definitely melt his body instantly if they landed on him, so he dared not be careless.

His right eye's vision concentrated, and Pupil Technique · Sukuna Hikona activated, instantly shrinking it, and then he also used Pupil Technique · Daikokuten to absorb this beam of three-colored flames into the time-stopped alternate dimension.

He always felt that the power of these three-colored flames was not just extremely high temperature, but might also possess other abilities!

"As expected of Lord Ketsuna!"

Chimi, from the side, appropriately praised Ketsuna again, explaining while praising: "Lord Ketsuna, the three-colored flames contained within this Firebird are not only incredibly hot and possess the characteristic of melting all things, but they can also ignite and subdue the natural energy absorbed into the body, making them very troublesome.

And most importantly, these three-colored flames can directly burn spiritual bodies…"

Clearly, Chimi had suffered at the hands of this demon Firebird, otherwise, it wouldn't be so clear about its abilities.

After hearing Chimi's explanation, Ketsuna thought even more highly of this Firebird.

No wonder it could become one of the strongest native demons in the Ninja World.

With these three-colored flames, it could indeed fear no demon!

Unfortunately, in front of Ketsuna's pupil techniques, these three-colored flames couldn't even touch Ketsuna's sleeve.

No matter how terrifying the power of these three-colored flames, what could they do?

"It seems if you have no other abilities, then it's time for me to counterattack!"

Ketsuna spoke to the Firebird flying in the air.

Since demons like Chimi possessed intelligence and could speak, then the demon Firebird must also be an intelligent being.

As for whether it could speak, that was unknown, but it was highly probable.

"Burning Heaven, Boiling Sea!"

The Firebird watched as its innate flames were easily dealt with by Ketsuna, first shocked, then immediately enraged.

This fellow not only destroyed its home as soon as he appeared but also continued to provoke it like this.

Did he really think it was easy to bully and manipulate?

So, in the next moment, it immediately let out a roaring human voice, a magnetic voice that couldn't be distinguished as male or female.

Blazing flames erupted from the Firebird's body.

It was like a fiery red sun, and from its source, it directly ignited all directions, intending to turn a thousand li radius into a sea of fire under its control.

Even the sky was dyed the color of fiery clouds by its terrifying three-colored flames.

"Lord Ketsuna!"

Chimi, seeing this towering sea of fire, was immediately scared out of its wits.

It immediately cried out to Ketsuna for help, fearing that if it called too slowly, it would be burned to ashes by these flames.

Seeing this, Ketsuna directly waved his hand and threw Chimi into the newly appeared black and red Space-Time Transportation gate for refuge.

As for himself, he fearlessly looked at the towering sea of fire rising around him, and the Firebird seemed focused on controlling the surrounding flames, not seeing this scene…
