What a pity, this demon isn't a succubus.
But with that being the case, Shimizu can kill it with a clearer conscience, and his attack is a fatal move.
"Breath of Li · Fifth Form · Wind and Thunder Li Blast!"
As if a natural disaster had descended upon the world.
A huge burst of high-temperature plasma erupted, releasing endless bright blue light blades, enveloping the demon.
In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Mordo was taken aback as soon as he came in.
Wait, when Watter sparred with him before, he didn't even use half of his strength?
With this scale of power, apart from the Ancient One, only a few master-level mages in Kamar-Taj, including the Sanctum guardians, could cast it easily.
On the contrary, Watter…
Could he really be the son of Vatum?
Casting spells doesn't require any cost.
Thoughts flashed through Mordo's mind, while the demon was also trying its best to resist Shimizu's attack.
Streams of black mucus shot out from its body, quickly repairing its battered body, and its faceless mouth roared constantly, pouncing towards Shimizu.
"Damn mages! We haven't even done anything yet, and you're already here looking for death."
Liu and Carlisle exchanged glances, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
Why does it feel like they aren't needed at all? Watter alone can take down this demon?
However, the two of them didn't just stand there.
The former used Buddhist beads to re-cover his body with a layer of golden light, rushing forward one after the other with Mordo.
Carlisle held up the crystal ball, chanting continuously, casting BUFFs on the three of them.
Shimizu felt that the chakra in his body was slightly more active, the recovery speed was also slightly improved, and the power of the ninjutsu he cast would be slightly greater.
"This is a Chaos Demon from Hell, but like those familiars, you only need to take out the heart that is the source of its power, and it will be banished back to the Hell dimension."
Liu shouted, while waving his hand to release the Hands of Hoggoth, using arcane energy to condense a huge tiger claw in mid-air, slapping it on the Chaos Demon's head.
"Leave it to me, you cover me!"
Mordo shouted, opening a portal under his feet, arriving at the Chaos Demon's abdomen.
What?
The next second, he was kicked away by a figure that appeared in an instant.
Replacing him here was Shimizu, but he had already changed into the Electric Light Armor Mark II at some point.
"Breath of Li · Seventh Form · Li Mirror!"
A huge bright blue round mirror rose, reflecting the Chaos Demon in it.
Shimizu's own chakra was already very strong with the addition of the Mind Stone Scepter, and now with the full output of the Arc Reactor, its power was even more astonishing.
In the next instant, the round mirror shattered, and the Chaos Demon also shattered into hundreds of pieces.
"There are thirteen hearts in this thing's body, it's useless to get rid of one."
Shimizu said, looking at the Chaos Demon turning into ashes and gradually dissipating into the smoke.
This Chaos Demon didn't die, it was just banished back to Hell.
The demons of Hell are not so easy to kill.
These cunning guys, except for those weaker demons, most of them only project their consciousness and part of their power through interdimensional rituals to wreak havoc and harvest souls and vitality in other dimensions.
"It's a good thing the Ancient One sent you here this time, otherwise, someone might have died."
Liu looked at the little residual ash on the ground, and said with emotion.
Where did the Ancient One find such a young man with such strength?
Heard he's only been learning magic for less than a month?
This strength is a bit outrageous…
Mordo had a thoughtful expression, looking at the face Shimizu transformed into after using the Transformation Technique.
Did he get an illusion-type artifact for disguise from the artifact storage room?
It's very useful in certain situations, especially for celebrities like Watter.
It doesn't seem to add much to combat power.
But…
Watter's strength is too strong.
The Ancient One suddenly recruited someone so rich, powerful, technically skilled, and capable of fighting, could it be…
Mordo put away his thoughts, lay down and collected the ashes on the ground with Liu, Carlisle, and others.
Shimizu also followed to search and collect them.
This thing is called Demon Ash, it is the residue after the burning of demonic power, containing some aura and energy of the Hell dimension, which can have a negative impact on the human body's bio-magnetic field, can be used to cast curses, and can also be used to replace oneself to pay some power from the dimension demon gods, generally when a larger price is required for magic, it can be used to slightly reduce some of the price.
There are many other mysterious items of this kind that can be used to reduce or replace the cost of spellcasting, but they are not easy to collect, and each one is a treasure.
Otherwise, those powerful mages would all die young.
……
……
Naruto World, Sand Village.
More than two years have passed since the opening of the canal.
This canal, mainly built by ninjas and puppet techniques, has a huge amount of water.
Thanks to the freshwater inland sea of Rain Country as the source, even in the hottest season, this canal still has abundant water, providing conditions for water transportation.
This has also led to an increase in rainfall in the areas along the coast in the past two years, and the ecological environment has been initially transformed.
Even last winter, it started to snow.
Now that the end of the year has passed, winter is gone and spring is coming, and the melting snow adds three points of coldness to the climate of Sand Hidden Village.
This phenomenon has appeared for the first time in nearly two or thirty years in Sand Hidden Village.
"How is it, are you used to living in the village?"
Shimizu was wearing a mink coat, standing at the gate of a newly built small courtyard, and asked Yuwu Chengyan, who was holding a baby girl next to him.
"It's okay, I plan to hire two maids after a while to help me take care of Chinai at home, so that I will have time to go out and perform tasks."
Yuwu Chengyan held her daughter in her arms, looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, with a peaceful expression.
His wife is dead, and his daughter is his only sustenance.
"Actually, you can directly post a commission in the Kazekage's office for this kind of thing. Now a large number of Genin graduate from Sand Hidden Village every year. To be honest, the quota for D-level missions is a bit insufficient."
“You don't need to worry about safety. After all, Sunagakure is one of the two strongest of the Five Great Shinobi Villages. Even newly graduated ninjas are absolutely qualified. If you're still worried, I'll oversee it and personally select the genin squad in charge.”
Oyashiro En turned his head in surprise.
“You can interfere with the village's mission assignments?”
“Currently, I only have the power to suggest personnel matters to the Kazekage. However, the Third Kazekage has already authorized the Elder Council to assist in handling non-confidential missions below B-rank.”
Oyashiro En pondered.
Shimizu's two teachers are the top two figures in Sunagakure's Elder Council, so it's not surprising that he can interfere to some extent.
However, if the Third Kazekage really delegates some power directly to Shimizu, then it can basically be concluded that this young man has been designated by the Third Kazekage as the next Kazekage.
I just don't know which of the two situations it is.
But no matter what, he, Oyashiro En, his daughter, and the entire Chinoike Clan are already tied to Shimizu.
Because it was Shimizu who led them from Hell Valley to here, they are naturally labeled with Shimizu's faction.
But fortunately, Shimizu has a very high status in Sunagakure.
Most discerning people can see that the Fourth Kazekage will likely be chosen between Shimizu and Rasa.
And the probability of the former is obviously much higher.
Whether it's strength, ability, or wisdom, Shimizu is clearly superior to Rasa.
He remembers very clearly that back in Kusagakure, this man killed Oyashiro Yo, the former head of the Chinoike Clan, in less than ten moves.
The latter was definitely an elite among the jonin, and among the top ninjas in the shinobi world, excluding the Five Kage.
Moreover, in Hell Valley, the power of the Ketsuryugan was strengthened, making his strength even stronger.
To be able to kill him in ten moves, I'm afraid even the current Five Kage are only so-so.
This person already possesses all the conditions to become a Kage.
And he's only fifteen years old, so it's even harder to imagine what the future holds.
Hugging this thigh will bring great convenience to the Chinoike Clan's integration into Sunagakure in the future.
“Tell me about your clansmen, how have they been living lately?”
Shimizu nodded to a swordsmanship improvement class student passing by and asked Oyashiro En beside him.
“Not bad, much better than I initially imagined.”
Speaking of this, Oyashiro En opened the floodgates.
“In the beginning, the clansmen all felt that coming to Sunagakure was like staying in the desert and eating sand, and they couldn't even take a bath.”
“It's not that bad.”
Shimizu touched his nose.
The Chinoike Clan has lived in Kusagakure for hundreds of years and has long been integrated into the local customs, taking a hot spring bath every day.
Although the past Sunagakure was poor, it wasn't to the point where they couldn't even take a bath.
The ninja class is not comparable to the civilian class. Although they don't have as many resources and wealth as those nobles, they definitely have a lot.
They are just used to saving and utilizing every drop of water because water is really precious here. Not to mention taking a bath, even rain is a waste to them.
Usually, they might just wipe their bodies with a basin of hot water when bathing.
It was only after the opening of this Grand Canal that Sunagakure no longer lacked water and could afford to take baths.
In addition, with the commercial economy gradually prospering along the canal, Sunagakure's living conditions have steadily improved.
It is probably not as good as Konohagakure, which has the most abundant resources, but it is definitely better than Kumogakure and Iwagakure, which live in the highlands and mountains.
Oyashiro En said a lot more in one breath. Overall, there was nothing bad.
It's probably about the construction of this clan land that Sunagakure allocated to them, the ability assessment of the Chinoike Clan after entering the Sunagakure system, the level division, and the situation of the young ninjas in the ninja school, etc.
Overall, the integration is not bad, and the people of the Chinoike Clan have basically adapted to the living environment of Sunagakure.
After chatting with Oyashiro En for a while, Shimizu got up and returned home, wrote a report on the current situation of the Chinoike Clan's integration, and prepared to take it to the Kazekage Building tomorrow on the way to the training ground.
The Third Kazekage ordered him to do this.
Even on matters related to the Chinoike Clan, the Third Kazekage let Shimizu handle it personally, the meaning is obvious.
That is to make this ninja clan with extremely strong potential become his direct line, just like the Puppet Corps and the Swordsmanship Improvement Class.
As for Rasa…
He hasn't been eliminated yet.
That's because Shimizu is only one step away from ascending to the position of Kage—leading Sunagakure's ninjas to fight a victory of a certain scale, demonstrating strength, and brushing the last wave of reputation needed.
Shimizu doesn't need to perform necessarily very, very well.
He just needs to be better than Rasa.
However, the current situation in the ninja world is relatively stable. Although there are minor disputes, as long as no Kage suddenly goes crazy, or if something like the assassination and disappearance of the Third Kazekage happens again, it is difficult for another ninja world war to break out.
Not every ninja village has Sunagakure's gains.
In three years, Sunagakure has only initially digested the war dividends brought about by the Second Shinobi World War.
Relying on the many changes brought by Shimizu, Sunagakure is the one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages that has recovered the fastest, but the large number of talents lost on the battlefield of the decade-long ninja world war cannot be re-trained in a short period of time.
Fortunately, Sunagakure now has plenty of funds, and the ninja school has been expanding its enrollment for several years in a row, and all the resources that ninjas can obtain have also increased a lot.
However, with the Breathing Technique and the New Puppet Technique, Sunagakure's overall strength has been greatly strengthened compared to the past.
It has been a year since the Breathing Technique was spread out.
In the Demon Slayer world, geniuses like Muichiro Tokito and Mitsuri Kanroji, who have super-strong talent in Breathing Techniques, can become Pillars in less than a year.
On Sunagakure's side, Shimizu has moved all the major Breathing Techniques over, and has already cultivated a large number of related talents. There are even ninjas who have mediocre talent in the chakra system, but have great talent in Breathing Techniques, who have directly become jonin from chunin in one year.
The New Puppet Technique has also greatly increased the power of middle and lower-level puppeteers, greatly reducing the entry threshold for puppeteers.
Coupled with a series of production chains and assembly lines bringing abundant strategic material reserves, Sunagakure's current strength is probably stronger than before the start of the Second Shinobi World War.
Of course, the other four major ninja villages also retain the power to fight, and the overall situation of the ninja world has not been unbalanced.
