Chapter 148: Ninja World Terracotta Warriors Exhibition
After Sasori retracted his puppets, Yomi and the other four were momentarily stunned.
But before they could feel any joy, they saw an electric mouse charging toward them.

Sasuke was fourteen years old. He only wore a mask and hadn't used Transformation Jutsu, so he was the shortest person present.
Furthermore, he used Lightning Release to activate his cells, making his entire body sparkle with electricity as if he were wearing lightning armor.
He looked a bit like Kennen from league of legends.
Of course, he was taller than Kennen.
Sasuke took the lead and looked at Yomi, catching him completely off guard and putting him under control instantly.
The Mangekyo Sharingan was just that domineering.
Unless one was prepared in advance, it was very difficult to avoid.
Even the perfect Jinchuriki Yagura Karatachi had no way to resist it.
Yomi was even less of a challenge.
As for the remaining four...
The sword of the thunder god in Sasuke's hand suddenly emitted a piercing bird-like chirp.
Blazing, dazzling electricity tore through the air.
Even his face was filled with a blue glow.
"Fire Release: Flowing Fire!"
"Wind Release: Divine Wind!"
The Four naturally wouldn't sit still and wait for death.
Possessing Dark Medical Ninjutsu, not only had their strength increased significantly, but their Ninjutsu was also interconnected and coordinated.
Two lines of fire spread instantly, surrounding Sasuke and drawing a circle of flames around him.
Then a whirlwind struck, merging directly with the flames. Brilliant sparks flew as it transformed into a soaring fire tornado.
Sasuke's body was submerged.
But in the next moment, the flames exploded from within. Countless lightning flashes radiated out like beams in all directions, followed by a deafening roar and a shockwave.
The Four were sent flying backward.
Sasuke glanced at Naruto, and the sword of the thunder god in his hand suddenly twisted.
The electricity surrounding his body quickly surged into the blade and began to rotate at high speed, much like a Rasengan.
"..."
Naruto was speechless.
You've really had enough.
You steal everything?
Sasuke gave a smug smile.
When it comes to the Sharingan, how can it be called stealing? It's called taking inspiration.
The rotation of the lightning grew faster and faster, gradually expanding outward.
Although he took inspiration from the Rasengan, it was different; instead of concentrating Chakra into one point, he was expanding it.
Thus, in Naruto's eyes, he saw a crackling, massive drill surrounded by countless lightning flashes charge into the Four.
Thunder rumbled.
The four people were shocked until they were charred black.
Commonly known as being'shock-numbed'.
Not only that, but because of the rotation, their clothes and bodies showed a tragic spiral pattern.
This really has become a Lightning Poison Dragon Drill, Naruto couldn't help but think.
Naruto thought to himself.
With the Four dealt with, the remaining few were naturally nothing to fear.
Sasuke cut them down with a few strikes.
"Giving this sword to you was a pretty good choice," Naruto said, glancing at the sword of the thunder god.
Naruto said.
He only found out today that this thing could extend into more than just a straight blade; even a spiral worked.
By extension, any shape was possible.
It suited Sasuke perfectly.
After all, in his hands, Chidori had been used in all sorts of ways.
Like senbon, spears, and such.
Now, a single sword of the thunder god could satisfy him.
Sasuke nodded in agreement.
He also found the sword of the thunder god fun to use.
"Yomi is already under my control. What should we do now?"
"Leave it to me."
Naruto walked up to the controlled Yomi.
His eyes were vacant, and his expression was like that of a sleepwalker.
"I ask, you answer."
Yomi nodded.
"Why didn't you summon Moryo in advance?"
Naruto asked the question he was most concerned about first.
"Because the Dark Medical Ninjutsu is not yet perfected."
The answer was as expected.
"What would happen if it's not perfected?"
"Currently, I can only maintain Moryo's soul for three days. The time is too short for us to reach the Land of Swamps and kill the Priestess."
Moryo's soul was sealed in the Land of Demons, and its body was sealed in the Land of Swamps.
But Naruto knew that Moryo and the Priestess were actually one.
It would only become a complete form after reclaiming the Priestess.
However, a complete form was out of the question.
Naruto naturally wouldn't do such a thing.
Letting it return to its body would suffice.
Naruto looked at Sasuke and said, "Have him go unseal Moryo and head to the Land of Swamps."
Three days was enough.
After all, he would have Shion go there herself.
Sasuke nodded and gave him the command.
The Mangekyo Sharingan really was great.
The hypnosis lasted a long time and wouldn't be discovered.
Yomi leaped away several times toward the north.
Naruto and the other two quickly followed.
A moment later, they arrived at a place resembling a temple.
Naruto struck first, knocking out the guards.
Yomi pushed open the main gates.
The inside was like another world.
A massive, dark space.
In the middle was a long stone path, while on both sides were large pits filled with stones.
Naruto knew these stones would become terracotta warriors.
In the very center was the only light source.
A stone monument about four or five meters high.
It was covered in sealing tags.
Yomi walked to the monument and pressed his right hand against it.
He began to chant an unintelligible incantation.
A moment later, black light surged from his palm.
The stone monument suddenly cracked, revealing a pitch-black opening.
"How nostalgic," a deep, raspy voice rang out, "the air of this human world."
"How nostalgic," a deep, raspy voice rang out, "the air of this human world."
"Welcome back, Lord Moryo."
Yomi knelt and spoke with a respectful expression.
"Oh? And you are?"
"I am a survivor of the former Yomi Cult. I awaken you today precisely to rebuild the Thousand-Year Kingdom!"
"But where is my body? Without a body, I cannot remain exposed for long."
"Please use my body as a temporary vessel."
Yomi unbuttoned his clothes and said, "Rest assured, Lord Moryo. I have already made arrangements. We will head to the Sealing Shrine shortly to reclaim your body."
He took out a scalpel, sliced open his own chest, and issued a sincere invitation to Moryo.
Gusts of black wind emerged from the stone monument and poured entirely into his body.
Accompanied by a scream, Yomi stood up again and stitched his chest closed.
"He's a ruthless one," Naruto remarked upon seeing this.
Naruto remarked upon seeing this.
With Moryo freed, the surrounding stones began to tremble.
Yomi shouted, "Awaken! My army!"
The stones rolled away, revealing their true forms.
Armor-clad terracotta warriors slowly stood up one by one.
"I'll leave the terracotta warriors to you two. Don't let them leave this place."
Naruto didn't care much.
Although the terracotta warriors were theoretically invincible and couldn't be destroyed, it wasn't a problem for Sasori and Sasuke to hold them back.
He suddenly appeared in Shion's palace.
Is she sleeping again?
Naruto nudged her shoulder.
Shion woke up with a start, nearly screaming 'assault', and only sighed in relief when she saw it was The Fool.
"Next time you come in, could you give me a heads-up first?"
She wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Appearing and disappearing like a ghost, it was terrifying.
"I'll keep that in mind next time."
Naruto smiled sheepishly.
He mainly hadn't thought that much about it.
Since Shion carried the Kunai with the Flying Thunder God Mark on her, his teleporting naturally landed him indoors.
"Go out for a bit, I need to get dressed."
Shion waved him away.
Naruto turned and walked to the door.
He didn't go outside, as he would be noticed by the guards.
Anyway, Shion's palace was large enough that he couldn't see her from the doorway.
A moment later.
Shion, dressed in her priestess robes, said, "Let's go."
Naruto was slightly taken aback.
Priestess robes...
It reminded him of Inuyasha.
And her mother's name, Miroku, also appeared in that show.
But those were all tears of an era.
The newer anime, the Inuyasha sequel 'Yashahime' and the Naruto sequel 'boruto', were like two peas in a pod—equally underwhelming.
Naruto hadn't been to the Land of Swamps, so he couldn't use the Flying Thunder God Technique.
And Shion only knew Sealing Jutsu; everything else was a mess.
Her speed was only slightly better than a normal person's.
In the original story, the protagonist carried her on his back.
But Naruto had a better way.
"Shion, do you get motion sickness?"
"Huh?"
Shion clearly didn't understand what he was talking about.
Naruto realized he had asked an unnecessary question.
He raised his hand.
Shion's eyes widened suddenly.
Her hands flailed in the air as if trying to grab onto something.
And her body was slowly lifting off the ground.
"Don't be afraid, there's no danger."
Naruto comforted her.
As a veteran 'driver', he still had this much skill.
Under his control, Shion moved rapidly through the air.
White clouds were overhead.
Mountains and rivers were beneath her feet.
Once Shion was sure there was no danger, her mood became joyful.
Flying is a dream of humanity.
She was no exception.
And having lived in the palace since she was a child, she had never experienced any outdoor activities.
Now, she suddenly felt the freedom of a caged bird flying into the vast sky.
She screamed with excitement.
Naruto could understand her behavior.
If he weren't afraid of being misunderstood, he would have liked to shout a few times too.
But the sound of a man and a woman shouting together wouldn't be good.
Flying in the sky actually consumed a lot of Chakra.
But Naruto wasn't worried.
Glancing at Shion, he felt bored and sank into the Sealing Space.
Kurama, biting a straw, lifted his eyelids and asked casually, "Wanna play a few rounds?"
He was lying on the ground next to a high tower filled with cola.
Surrounded by bottled cola, which was used to supply the Konoha Cola Shop.
Now, besides playing games, he spent his time making cola.
"What do you want to play?" Naruto asked.
"Let's play fight the landlord."
Kurama knew that since Naruto was flying outside, he might not last long, so fight the landlord was the quickest.
"Sure."
Naruto didn't mind; playing anything was the same.
He took out a deck of cards, created a Shadow Clone, and started playing fight the landlord.
After two hours, Naruto heard Shion calling him, so he went back out.
Kurama shook his head and said, "Women just get in the way."
He thought of Kushina and shuddered.
Not only did she get in the way, but she was also incredibly fierce.
Naruto looked at Shion. She was holding her head and said, "I'm a bit dizzy, I want to throw up."
As expected, she got motion sickness.
He controlled their descent to the ground.
After two hours of flight, they had already left the Land of Demons.
They were probably even faster than Yomi.
Thinking of this, Naruto expanded his perception.
He had left a Flying Thunder God Mark on Yomi.
He soon detected his presence.
He was indeed slower than them.
Naruto looked at the sky and wasn't in a hurry. He took out a sealing scroll and shook out a large pile of firewood.
"What do you usually like to eat? Is roast rabbit okay?"
"It's fine."
Shion cleared a patch of ground, lifted her red priestess skirt slightly, and sat down.
Watching Naruto's practiced movements and thinking back to some previous events, she asked, "You said our first collaboration is about Moryo. So, what's the second?"
"Economic cooperation."
"What do you mean by that?"
Shion was a bit confused by his unexpected answer.
She thought the cooperation might be for the Land of Demons to provide high-value mission commissions or something.
After all, no matter how mysterious Destiny was, it still fell within the scope of Ninjas.
But this answer really struck her as strange.
You're a Ninja, and you're talking to me about economic cooperation.
Is something wrong here?
"As far as I know, the economy of the Land of Demons is quite average, right?"
Naruto didn't answer her question directly.
"Yes."
Shion nodded.
Although she lived in the palace year-round, she still knew something about the situation in the Land of Demons.
It was far inferior to large nations like the Land of Fire.
Naturally, it couldn't be considered wealthy.
"In that case, have you ever thought about how to make the Land of Demons prosperous?"
Naruto asked again.
The Land of Demons mainly had two problems.
First, its land area was small.
Second, it was mountainous with few plains, so agriculture couldn't develop.
In this era, agriculture was the foundation of the economy, but without high-tech support, it was a small-scale peasant economy.
That is, based on family units, with relatively low productivity.
And it was limited by the terrain.
The Land of Fire had the best location, with vast plains, and was thus the most economically developed.
But the Land of Demons was completely different.
"I've thought about it, but there's no way," Shion said, shaking her head.
Shion shook her head.
She didn't actually understand these things.
But if the Land of Demons really had a way, they wouldn't have waited until today.
"Do you know about the Land of Hot Springs? It focuses on hot springs and tourism. I think your Land of Demons could do the same, developing a unique industry."
"But we don't have large-scale hot springs here, and for tourism, there doesn't seem to be anything worth seeing."
"Moryo."
Naruto flipped the roast meat over and smiled. "Have you considered holding a Moryo exhibition? Along with the Yomi Cult's terracotta warriors."
"This... would it work?" Shion said hesitantly.
Would anyone really be willing to pay money to see something as ugly and evil as Moryo?
"Of course, provided it's properly packaged."
Naruto thought for a moment and said:
"The Land of Demons has unearthed an imperial site from a thousand years ago. They once tried to destroy the Ninja World and possessed a brilliant culture. In the emperor's tomb, exotic monsters were discovered, along with countless terracotta warriors buried deep underground. They are lifelike, as if they were real people, posed in various strange positions, and very likely contain powerful secret techniques from a millennium ago. Would you be interested?"
"???"
Shion was stunned.
Isn't this a bit of an exaggeration?
But on second thought, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with it.
If such a thing really existed, she would probably be interested.
Naruto chuckled softly.
The Land of Demons was different from the Land of Fire; they couldn't just copy the models from his previous life and had to adapt to local conditions.
Small countries naturally had their own specialties.
And what were the specialties of the Land of Demons?
The Priestess and Moryo.
And since Moryo had terracotta warriors, what to do was obvious.
The so-called ancient tomb exploration tourism industry.
Then get Fuka Koyuki to help or have Shion star in it herself to film Tomb Raider.
A beautiful Priestess, not to mention.
Setting up shrines and the like would be very profitable.
Thanks to the big boss 'I am King T' for the tip. PS: Yesterday's match was really exciting.
