Chapter 232

Kagura's face was full of bewilderment.

From the moment she was born, she had been the Shaman,

and the role of the Shaman of the Land of Demons,

her mission was to seal the Moryo!

And the Moryo had long since been dealt with by Hashirama Senju.

Then what meaning did her existence still have?

Suddenly losing the mission of sealing the Moryo,

Kagura also did not know what she should still do.

"Have you forgotten what I said to you before?"

"A person's destiny is held in their own hands."

"Your destiny is of course decided by you yourself. Wherever you want to go, you may. No one should tell you what to do!"

Hashirama Senju stared at Kagura and said with a smile.

"Mm!! I understand!"

Staring at Hashirama Senju's face,

Kagura nodded her head hard!!

……

Can destiny be changed?!

The current Shaman of the Land of Demons, Shion, stared at the screen, her eyes vacant.

The former Shaman of another world had the help of Hashirama Senju,

and she had freed herself from the destiny of a Shaman.

Then what about herself?

It seemed she could not find such a powerful being who could help her.

Then how could she free herself from destiny?

But Hashirama Senju's words and what had happened to the other Shaman,

truly gave Shion quite a bit of insight in her heart!!

She had previously believed that something like destiny was also unchanging,

but now it seemed that was not the case at all!!

As long as she herself was willing to change her destiny!!

Then destiny could be changed!!

She could also free herself from the destiny of a Shaman!!

As long as her strength was powerful enough,

then she could have the destiny of a Shaman rewritten along with it!

At this moment, it seemed something different was taking root and sprouting in Shion's heart!!

……

And another who shared similar insight was Neji Hyuga.

Neji Hyuga stared at the flying birds in the sky,

and also felt a different longing!

Perhaps he too could change his own destiny,

and free himself from the Caged Bird of the main family!!

He had absolutely no need to obey this kind of vague and ethereal thing!

Hashirama Senju's words had also given Neji inspiration!

Only the weak believe in destiny,

a strong person's destiny is held in their own hands!!

……

"Since that's the case, then the Land of Fire and the Land of Demons shall be the most steadfast of allies…"

"I believe that under your leadership, Shaman, the Land of Demons will surely have a completely different appearance from before!"

"I look forward to the future development of the Land of Demons!!"

Standing beside Kagura,

Hashirama Senju tilted his head back and took a swig of sake, then laughed heartily.

"Then it's settled."

"I believe that with the Land of Demons and the Land of Fire joining hands, the future will surely become better!"

Kojiro likewise raised his cup and toasted Hashirama Senju.

And Kagura, standing to the side, merely stared intently at Hashirama Senju,

not knowing what she was thinking about.

Seeing her appearance,

Kojiro let out a sigh.

Having spent so many years with Kagura,

any small expression from Kagura,

Kojiro knew what Kagura was thinking about.

And the current Kagura,

Whatever she was thinking was basically written all over her face,

and with just a little thought,

Kojirou already knew exactly what Kagura was thinking!!

Although he wanted Kagura to get closer to Hashirama Senju,

so as to draw the Land of Demons and the Land of Fire closer together,

he never could have imagined

that Kagura would actually develop feelings for Hashirama Senju unlike anything before!!

Still,

Kojirou could understand!

Kagura had never really come into contact with any outsiders from childhood on,

she had always been deeply troubled by the fate of a shrine maiden,

and the appearance of Hashirama Senju

was no different from a ray of light poured into her life!

When Kagura had no way out at all,

Hashirama Senju helped her deal with the Demon Statue

and broke her fate!!

For Kagura, Hashirama Senju was probably a ray of light in her heart!

Even Kojirou himself

felt that he, at forty-nine-zero, might just fall for Hashirama Senju!

【Jiraiya: Who would have thought, the First Hokage-dono is actually as charming as me!! No matter where he goes, he leaves hearts fluttering! Sigh, a man really can't be too charming! Otherwise it's a sin!】

【Tobirama Senju: This big brother of mine really is far more charming than this blockhead big brother of mine!】

【Kakashi Hatake: Jiraiya-dono, couldn't all this be used as material for Make-Out Paradise? Hurry up and collect it — without the days of your new book's release, I find it too agonizing!】

【Minato Namikaze: Uh… Kakashi, you're not so young anymore, it's time you found a wife to carry on the Hatake family line. As for Jiraiya-sensei's Make-Out Paradise, you'd best read less of it…】

【Naruto Uzumaki: Kakashi-sensei must have read too much Make-Out Paradise, that's why he always looks so kidney-deficient!】

【Kushina Uzumaki: Naruto! Anyway, you stay far away from that old pervert Jiraiya from now on!! Be careful not to get corrupted!】

Seeing Hashirama Senju right before her,

the shrine maiden Kagura took a deep breath,

as if she had made some kind of resolution.

She said, her face utterly serious.

"Hashirama Your Majesty, are we good friends?"
