Chapter 236

"Let me start by cutting down these guys from the Land of Demons!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a pitch-black space appeared behind Jigen's body,

and his entire figure vanished from where he stood!!

……

【Jiraiya: This guy sure talks big!! Every word out of his mouth is 'mortals' — just what is his background?!】

【Orochimaru: Looking at his abilities… combined with what he's saying, I suspect he's also a member of the Ōtsutsuki clan!】

【Tsunade: That can't be right? Aren't all the Ōtsutsuki clan up on the moon? Their eyes are all Byakugan… and this guy doesn't look like an Ōtsutsuki at all!】

【Tobirama Senju: Little Tsunade, what he said… probably isn't about the Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon… he must be talking about the unknown enemy the Sage of Six Paths spoke of.】

【Shikamaru Nara: I remember the Sage of Six Paths saying that his mother often gazed at the starry sky, always telling him that enemies would one day descend upon this world from the stars… Could this mysterious monk be from that group?!】

【Kakashi Hatake: No matter where he's from, he definitely doesn't have good intentions… From what I can see, he's preparing to gather the Tailed Beasts precisely to destroy this world!】

【Fourth Raikage: Too bad his wish is about to be dashed — with a First Hokage like that around, his plan can never succeed!】

【Ōnoki: Heh, judging by how he looks now, he's probably heading to the Land of Demons to find the shrine maiden to vent his fury on. I wonder what expression he'll have on his face when he sees the First Hokage again?!】

……

Walking out from the pitch-black teleportation gate,

Jigen looked down at the Land of Demons' palace beneath his feet,

and a cruel, brutal smile spread across his face!!

Right now, however joyful your smiles may be,

in a moment, the expressions on your faces will be just as agonized!!

If you want to blame someone, blame that man called Hashirama Senju!

Jigen considered himself the savior of this country,

someone who could help the people of this nation resolve the problem of the monster!!

But he never expected…

his gaze kept sweeping across the crowd below.

Where is she?

The shrine maiden of the Land of Demons…

He planned to start by cutting down the shrine maiden of the Land of Demons,

killing their most revered shrine maiden right in front of everyone in the Land of Demons!!

Found her!!

Jigen's eyes lit up,

and he quickly locked onto the shrine maiden Kagura inside the palace!!

Among the attire of the attending maids,

shrine maiden Kagura's outfit was still extremely eye-catching,

making her identity obvious at a single glance!!

But just as Jigen excitedly plotted how to kill Kagura,

his gaze happened to sweep aside,

and caught sight of the man standing beside Kagura!!.

117. Jigen's Shock: The Greatest Talent in History!

The man at this moment also seemed to notice Jigen in the sky,

and was seen lightly waving his hand,

seemingly as if greeting Jigen!!

Looking at Hashirama Senju's face,

Jigen's smile froze, gradually cooling down.

This guy…

Could he have been sent by the heavens specifically to make things difficult for me?!

After seeing Hashirama Senju's face,

Jigen fell silent as well!!

The most detestable thing was Hashirama Senju's reaction upon seeing him!

After Hashirama Senju noticed his presence,

he even grinned at him!!

That smile looked utterly loathsome in Jigen's eyes!!

And Kagura and Kojirō also noticed Jigen in the sky.

Looks of shock also appeared on their faces!

Someone can actually fly in the sky?

At the very first moment,

Kojirō immediately shielded Kagura behind him!!

From the look on Jigen's face,

Kojirō could see no goodwill whatsoever!

Just from Jigen's lofty, superior attitude and the contempt in his eyes,

Kojirō judged that this person had come with ill intentions!!

And after seeing the smile Hashirama Senju had cast toward Jigen,

Kojirou asked in a low voice.

"Your Majesty Hashirama, do you know this person?"

Hashirama Senju shook his head with a smile at those words.

"Know him wouldn't be quite right."

"But I have dealt with this fellow a few times."

"I didn't expect him to actually show up in the Land of Demons."

"You'd better take Kagura and leave this place… In a moment I'll be fighting him, and I may not have the mind to look after your safety…"

"I'm afraid this fellow… has come for me…"

Seeing the undisguised killing intent in Jigen's eyes,

Hashirama Senju knew

that a battle between the two of them was destined to happen!!

"Hash… Hashirama, then be careful!"

"We're leaving here first!!"

Kagura gave Hashirama Senju a worried glance,

then, under Kojirou's cover, hurriedly left the place.

She also knew

that if she stayed here,

she wouldn't be able to help at all,

and would instead become a burden to Hashirama Senju.

Rather than that,

she might as well leave here now,

so at the very least she wouldn't become a burden to Hashirama Senju,

and wouldn't make Hashirama Senju have to divide his attention to look after her!!

"Hashirama Senju… hand over the Mono no Aware…"

"Then I can pretend nothing ever happened."

Jigen's body descended from the sky, and he said coldly to him.

He had also seen

that Hashirama Senju had no shallow relationship with the shrine maiden and the people of the Land of Demons!!

But Jigen had no intention of using the relationship between them!!
