The prophecy of death was temporarily silenced in the team due to Asma's intervention.
soon.
Everyone was on the road again, heading towards the Kingdom of Ghosts.
Sasuke walked up to Shinji and asked casually: "Shinji, you don't believe such nonsense, do you?"
Shinji glanced at Sasuke and saw Sasuke's guilty conscience.
This guy is obviously scared!
However, Shinji did not make it clear, he just said: "Don't worry, with a jounin like Asuma here, we will be fine!"
Sasuke immediately emphasized: "I'm not afraid!"
Shinji grinned at first, then wiped away the smile on his face.
Regarding Shion's prophecy, Shinji didn't take it seriously.
Prophecy may sound outrageous at first, but in fact Shion is not the only one in the ninja world who can do this. The great toad sage from Mt. Myoboku also has the ability to prophesy.
Stop prophesying!
Things that sound unbelievable, such as spying on fate, rewriting fate, and even recycling fate, are all possible in the ninja world.
So prophecies and such are not something to make a fuss about!
According to Shinji's impression, Shion's prediction is more like a glimpse into a certain branch of the future. In other words, what she predicts is only a certain possibility in the future.
It's just that the branch she predicted is very likely to happen, so she has never made a mistake in the past.
But in the original time and space, her prediction went wrong once!
She predicted Naruto's death, but it did not actually happen. Because of Naruto himself, the future went to another branch where Naruto survived.
Therefore, Shinji can now draw two pieces of information.
First, there is an enemy that threatens him and is approaching the team heading to the Kingdom of Ghosts. Second, this enemy will come soon!
The reason for the second point.
It was because he believed that the enemy in the prophecy must have killed him before he could complete the fusion of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
Otherwise, with the power of his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, there may be many people in the ninja world who can defeat him, but not many who can easily kill him.
"The key is time!"
After thinking about these things, Shinji grasped the key to the problem.
In the original time and space, Naruto was able to break the prophecy because Naruto's final burst of courage awakened the power of the shrine maiden hidden in Shion's body.
Shinji is not Naruto and cannot copy Naruto's methods.
He needs to find a way to delay time and let his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan complete the fusion. Only in this way can he have the strength to intervene in fate and rewrite the prophecy like Naruto in the original time and space.
At night, the team camped in the wild.
Because of the prophecy made during the day, everyone lost interest. The entire team seemed to have been silenced, and everyone was silent from inside to outside.
Ziyuan, on the other hand, has been hiding in the carriage since daytime, and seems to have lost the courage to face everyone directly.
At this time, Shinji brought a bowl of hot soup to the carriage, lifted a corner of the curtain, and handed the soup bowl in: "Eat some!"
Shion still didn't show up. She hid behind the curtain and took the soup bowl that Shinji handed over. Then she grabbed Shinji's arm and thrust a small object into Shinji's hand.
Shinji took his arm back from the carriage, unfolded it, and found that the small object Shion had thrust into his hand was actually the bell magic weapon that Shion had been wearing.
"Ah"
Shinji chuckled lightly, then a thought occurred to him, and he thought of something, so he put the bell magic weapon directly into his pocket without being polite.
Then he returned to the campfire.
Seeing that Shinji was back, Neji asked, "Is Shion okay?"
"fine!"
Shinji replied casually.
Sasuke pouted: "We are all here, and we don't know what she is afraid of!"
But Ningji shook his head: "I have inquired about it, and Shion's previous prophecies when she was in the Kingdom of Ghosts have never been wrong. All the people who saw the death prophecy she saw will die within a week."
Sasuke forced a smile: "Hey, they are lying!"
Neji said solemnly: "No, I have asked several people carefully, and they can match the details. It doesn't seem like they are lying! But."
Sasuke hurriedly asked: "But what?"
Neji replied: "However, Shion's previous death prophecies only saw the death scene of one person. Seeing the death scene of the entire team like that during the day has never happened before!"
Kimimaro, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "What kind of enemy strength is needed to defeat a team like ours?"
When Kimimaro asked this question, Neji and Sasuke were startled.
Neji thought for a while and said: "The leader of the team, Asuma Jonin, is said to be one of the twelve guardian ninjas and a very powerful ninja. The two people traveling with him are also senior chunin in the village.
To defeat them, the enemy needs at least three jonin!"
Sasuke then said: "There are four of us! If the four of us join forces, even if we are jounin, we can't compete!"
Kimimaro didn't dwell on the details, and just said calmly: "Then only if four jounin join forces can we destroy our team."
Sasuke nodded first, then looked puzzled: "Shion is a miko from the Kingdom of Demons, we are ninjas from Konoha, and most people don't dare to take action against us!"
Neji added: "And dispatching four jounin is not something that ordinary bounty ninja organizations can do."
While several people were discussing the problem, they discovered that Shinji in front of the campfire was focused on drinking hot soup, as if he didn't take Shion's prophecy to heart at all.
Neji couldn't help but ask: "Shinji, are you not worried at all?"
After 'Gulu' finished the soup in the bowl, Shinji said: "It doesn't matter, if the prophecy is true, I will take action!"
Feeling Shinji's confidence, the three of them, including Kimimaro, were stunned for a moment.
Then, Sasuke snorted: "Yeah, there's nothing to worry about. I won't die before killing that person again!"
Neji touched his bandaged forehead, and a fighting spirit surged in his heart: "I also want to see if my destined fate can be changed!"
Kimimaro then picked up the bowl and took a sip of the hot soup.
If the opponent is 'destiny', as indifferent as he is, he will also be aroused to be competitive.
Just when the three of them were excited about fighting because of Shinji's words, suddenly, a kunai shot out of the darkness and flew towards their team.
Whoosh!
In an instant, a guard from the Kingdom of Demons was shot by a kunai and fell to the ground.
"Enemy attack!"
"Everyone, be careful!"
"There are people injured!"
A series of warning sounds immediately sounded in the team.
Asuma, who was the leader of the team, had already made a "swish" sound, activated the teleportation technique, and rushed towards the direction where the kunai was shot.
Soon, the sound of fierce fighting came from over there!
"coming!"
The four people in front of the bonfire looked at each other, then stood up together and became alert.
If the opponent can start a fierce fight with Asuma, it means that the opponent is at least a jounin.
Swish swish swish.
Immediately afterwards, three more black shadows attacked the Ghost Kingdom team from different directions.
"Protect Your Highness!"
Amid the shouts, the guards from the Kingdom of Ghosts immediately formed a formation, with three layers inside and three layers outside surrounding the carriage in which Ziyuan was riding.
The two Konoha chunin who remained in the team sent out a signal to notify Asuma who was not far away, while entangling the two enemies.
"Are they really four enemies?" Seeing that he had analyzed the number of enemies correctly, Sasuke became more confident: "The four of us will go together!"
With that said, without waiting for anyone else to respond, he opened his Sharingan and pounced on the last enemy.
Kimimaro and Neji followed immediately without saying a word.
Shinji did not act rashly, but carefully observed the situation.
Just as they analyzed before the campfire, there were exactly four attackers. One of them lured Asuma away, and the other three attacked the team.
But he was not as happy as Sasuke, because the other party had a clear division of labor and had a goal at first glance.
And this is obviously inconsistent with Ziyuan’s prediction!
In Shion's prophecy, everyone in their team died tragically, even Asuma, a jounin, was no exception!
