Chapter 233

Hashirama Senju turned his head and smiled.

"Of course, Lady Kagura, we've been through life and death together—how could we not be good friends?"

Meanwhile, Kojirou, watching Kagura like this,

felt a sudden pang in his chest,

and a sense of dread arose.

When Kagura heard Hashirama Senju say that,

she smiled happily,

the corners of her eyes curling into crescents!!

"Then if we're friends, will you do me a favor?"

Hashirama Senju nodded.

"Within my ability, I will surely help."

Kagura said seriously.

"Don't worry, what I'm asking is nothing difficult."

"You can definitely do it…"

Kagura bit her lip and whispered.

"You… could you take me with you…?"

"I want to go to the Land of Fire with you…"

"I want to stay with you."

Hearing this, Kojirou

nearly spat out his wine!!

He quickly shouted loudly.

"Lady Kagura!!! Absolutely not!!"

"You are the witch of the Land of Ghosts!!"

"The Land of Ghosts can lose anyone—but not you!"

He never imagined

that Kagura, usually quiet and reserved, would be so bold,

that she had directly asked Hashirama Senju to take her away from the Land of Ghosts!!

When Hashirama Senju heard this,

a faint bitter smile appeared on his face.

Kagura's words

were already extremely direct!

She had no intention of hiding her feelings at all!!

"Why can't I leave the Land of Ghosts?!"

"The Wanyou problem is solved!"

"I have no reason to stay in the Land of Ghosts anymore."

Kagura frowned unhappily.

"Um… Lady Kagura…"

"Forgive me, but I fear I cannot take you away from the Land of Ghosts."

"The Land of Ghosts truly cannot do without you."

116. Shan Shan Lai Chi's Ci Xian: Who the hell took my Wanyou!

Although the Wanyou problem was resolved,

that doesn't mean the Land of Ghosts has no other issues!

The Land of Ghosts differs from other nations,

for only the witch holds the authority to decide everything.

It is a hereditary system!

Aside from the witch,

no one else in the Land of Ghosts has the qualification or prestige to issue orders!

Kojirou looked at Hashirama Senju with a glimmer of gratitude.

Thank goodness he didn't agree to take the witch of the Land of Ghosts away!

If Hashirama Senju had truly done so!

Kojirou realized he would have had no way to stop him!

Given Hashirama Senju's strength,

if he wished to take Kagura away from the Land of Ghosts,

the Land of Ghosts truly had no way to stop him!!

Moreover, Kagura was not forcibly taken by Hashirama Senju!

Kagura herself willingly chose to leave the Land of Ghosts with Hashirama Senju!

"Lady Kagura! Absolutely not!"

"If you leave the Land of Ghosts…"

"Who will lead it then?"

Kojirou said anxiously to Kagura.

Upon hearing this, Kagura,

her face was full of unhappiness.

"What do you mean, if I leave the Land of Demons, no one will lead it?"

"Are you all not people?"

"I can make you the Daimyo of the Land of Demons right now, and from then on everyone in the Land of Demons, high and low, will obey your commands."

Kagura stared at Kojirou as she said.

Upon hearing this,

Kojirou's face was even more stricken with panic.

He hurriedly set down the wine cup in his hand, stepped back a few paces, and kowtowed hard to Kagura with a loud thud.

"Princess Kagura, if you want to leave the Land of Demons,"

"then you'll have to step over my corpse first."

"Otherwise, I absolutely cannot let you leave the Land of Demons!!"

And when Hashirama Senju saw the fury between the two of them,

he also hurriedly helped Kojirou up, turned his head, and said to Kagura.

"Kagura, it's not that I don't want to take you away from the Land of Demons."

"It's that the Land of Demons truly cannot do without you."

"Besides the shrine maiden of the Land of Demons, there cannot possibly be a second person who can make everyone in the Land of Demons, high and low, obey their commands."

"Even if you establish a Daimyo right now, it cannot change this situation."

"Think it over carefully — you should be able to figure it out…"

Hashirama Senju said to Kagura with earnest and weighty words of persuasion.

And after Kagura heard him say this,

she pondered for a moment, and only then understood where the problem lay.

All the political foundations of the Land of Demons were built upon the shrine maiden system,

if she left the Land of Demons,

there truly would not be a single person in the Land of Demons who could keep these forces suppressed,

and by then the Land of Demons might very well fall into complete chaos.

"Alright, alright, stop acting like it's life and death every single day."

"I was just saying it offhandedly."

"I'm not actually planning to leave the Land of Demons."
