Since the leader of the cultists was mortally wounded and the problem of harassment from the enemy was resolved, the next step of escorting Miko-sama to the Demon Mountain in the Land of Swamps can be carried out immediately.
Before departing, Miko-sama hid Shion-chan in a secret room in the temple.
Nobody knew what Miko-sama talked about with Shion-chan, but Kuroto can guess that Miko-sama was prepared to sacrifice herself if need be even with his promise to protect her.
Well, he can’t do anything about that other than to fulfill his side of the deal.
Since all the preparations were completed, the team finally went through the plan, Pakura with her Scorch Kekkai Genkai was responsible for opening up the path, Team-11 of Konoha was responsible for the personal protection of Miko-sama and the Rock shinobi were responsible to stop the chase of Ghost Army in the back with their Earth release techniques.
Soon, the group broke through the encirclement of the Ghost Army outside the Temple and moved towards the targeted destination.
On the way, Miko-sama was continuously guiding everyone, while also sensing the approach of the Ghost Army and the Demon himself.
According to Miko-sama’s real-time sensing, they realized that the Demon was chasing them very fast, at least not inferior to the speed of an elite Shinobi.
Fortunately, in the previous battle; in and around the temple; the Demon himself didn’t show up or rather couldn’t show up otherwise successfully breaking through the encirclement would have been troublesome.
At the temple; the demon and his Ghost army couldn’t pass through the barrier set up by Miko-sama therefore all he could do was to send the cultists to kill her, but now that the Miko-sama is out of the protection of enchantment; Moryo will no longer sit back quietly only waiting to be resealed.
Seeing that the Demon was continuously closing on them, the Captain of the Rock unit said, “Hey! We can’t continue like this!”
And Rock shinobi aren’t the only one feeling stressed.
Pakura also agreed, “If we continuously consume chakra like this, I am afraid that even if we do get to the Sealing Mountain, we won’t have enough chakra left to suppress the Demon!”
Unlike the Demon with almost inexhaustible Chakra, the consumption of the Shinobi traveling at full speed is extremely high, if they can’t get rid of the chase in a short time; then the situation would turn more and more unfavorable for them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKakashi suggested, “In that case choose a suitable place to set up an ambush!”
Miko-sama who was carried by Guy on his back thought for a while and hesitantly spoke, “I can set up a temporary Fuin enchantment, if it works, it may be able to trap Moryo temporarily.”
Pakura nodded, “Please do then!”
The plan of action was finalized and everyone immediately got to work, they choose a steep gorge with a winding river in the valley as the spot for setting the ambush.
With some assistance, Miko-sama placed several seals on the rock walls on both sides of the canyon.
All these Fuin techniques were all very complicated. Others simply started feeling a headache trying to understand them and Kuroto wasn’t any better even with his Tenseigan.
The Demon finally appeared after waiting for some time after setting up the ambush.
Moryo was a gigantic creature with a very long and dark purple body, and multiple dragon-based heads, at least four were clearly visible, with glowing red eyes and bluish tongue hanging down from his mouth and a light purple illusive aura surrounding his body.
“This… how could it be so big!?” everyone exclaimed looking at Moryo’s huge and strange body.
Although most of his body is covered in a purple aura, it is not difficult to judge that his size is as big as a tailed beast, implying that he is a monster in the true sense.
Pakura frowned seeing Moryo’s size, she isn’t very good against foes with such big size.
Even many ninjas with Kage level strength like Pakura aren’t very good at dealing with big monsters.
Kakashi and Guy’s condition wasn’t any good either, they were reminded of the night of Kyuubi’s Rebellion, the Image or Moryo and raging Kyuubi from half a year ago seemed to overlap within their mind.
Moryo’s huge size was like a nightmare for most of the ninjas.
So, everyone’s reaction to Moryo’s appearance was kind of justified!
If anyone present was not shocked; then it was undoubtedly Miko-sama who was familiar with the Demon from long before, and Kuroto because of his memories.
As for Shisui, for some reason, he wasn’t afraid of the demon either, however, he wouldn’t dare using his Mangekyo techniques because once exposed, the village elders would find it difficult to tolerate him because of the threat he might become for them being an Uchiha!
Realizing that moryo had entered the ambush circle, Kuroto who was still calm, shouted: “Start!”
With Kuroto’s shout, everyone immediately recovered and launched the attacks according to the pre-discussed plan.
“Earth Release: Earth Flow River!”
“Earth Release: Bottomless Swamp!”
“Earth Release: Mud Slide”
“Earth Release: Earth and Rock Flow!”
The four members of the Rock unit, Kakashi and Sand shinobi distributed on both sides of the canyon immediately printed hand seals and launched several Earth release ninjutsu.
Instantly………….
Quicksand, mud, soil walls, and stone pillars surrounded the Demon from the four sides; temporarily trapping him in the canyon.
Roar…………….
A breathtaking loud roar came from the Demon’s mouth making everyone to freeze momentarily.
Miko-sama warned, “Everyone! Be careful, don’t get too close to him!”
Meanwhile, the Demon was struggling violently but it was a little difficult for him to get free because of being trapped in the mud swamp at the bottom.

To prevent the Demon from breaking free, Pakura used her Scorch Release to land several attacks at Demon’s heads forcing him deeper into the swamp.
At this time Miko-sama started chanting the sealing spell.
Following her chant, the Fuin techniques printed on both sides of the canyon started glowing, and a thin enchantment appeared covering Moryo within it.
As soon as Miko-sama completed the chant, Guy hurriedly asked, “Was it successful?”
Miko-sama nodded weakly.
With Miko-sama’s state, it can be judged that even the temporary seals are burdensome for her to cast as Miko’s sealing techniques use vitality as it’s fuel.
Seeing that the ambush was successful and the Demon is temporarily trapped, Kakashi didn’t dare to delay any longer, and immediately urged everyone: “Let’s go, we don’t know how long will this hold him off, we have to hurry to the Sealing Mountain!”
Instantly the shinobi scattered all around returned to the assault formation again and rushed toward the sealing mountain at full speed.
Rumble…
Loud noises continued to be heard from behind, clearly indicating that the Demon was slowly breaking free from the trap, and every time he hits the enchantment, the whole canyon would shake showing his incredible power.
Miko-sama weakly reminded everyone, “Moryo can influence and manipulate others. Don’t get too close to him; otherwise, you will become a puppet under his control!”
Everyone had cold sweat listening to this detail.
Obviously, no one would want to fight against such a monster, but unfortunately, the current situation doesn’t give them much choice…
