Chapter 553 The moment of reunion is coming!
In the Land of Demons, at the moment Saber appeared, the new priestess Miroku turned her head and looked in the direction of Kirigakure: "Rider, that breath just now, was it a Servant?"
A blue light suddenly appeared behind Maitreya, and a green-haired young man appeared, looking towards the direction of Kirigakure.
"Yes, but there are two of them. I just don't know what their job titles are."
"Two?" Miroku looked at the green-haired young man behind him, also known as Rider, in surprise. "What I saw was a blond young man holding an invisible sword. He was extremely powerful and killed more than a dozen Kirigakure ANBU with a single sword!"
Rider frowned. "An invisible sword? There's not much information available, and I don't know who he is, but it should be Saber. Of course, maybe his sword is just a mystery."
"Is that so? That's really troublesome, and there's another Servant who I have no information about. Oh my god, this Holy Grail War is too difficult!"
Miroku sighed to the sky, and she began to regret taking over this matter from her mother.
Rider smiled slightly and didn't take it to heart. Maitreya had said this many times, and every time he said it, he would carefully study the tactical arrangements.
"By the way, Master, I've always been curious, how do you know the information about other Servants?"
"Well, this is a special ability of our shrine maiden lineage. It allows us to see into the future. However, before, we could only see things related to death. Then, with the help of others, my mother successfully developed these abilities, which helped her get rid of some of the bad reputation she had."
Rider didn't ask about the bad reputation, because no matter what era, being associated with death would not bring good reputation.
He was a little surprised by the person Maitreya mentioned who helped them improve their abilities, because this ability was too similar to high-level clairvoyance.
This wasn't the first time he'd heard Miroku mention this person. From previous descriptions, he'd felt that person's methods were very familiar, which made him feel that this Holy Grail War might not be so simple.
"Master, the other servants have already appeared one after another. What should we do next? Should we continue to wait and see?"
"No, Rider." Miroku shook his head and looked in the direction of Konoha, "It's time to reunite with our allies as agreed."
"Ally? In the direction of Konoha? But why? Master, with all due respect, the Demon Country does not have the capital to cooperate with Konoha!"
Rider's expression was unusually serious. Although they were only master and servant for a few days, Rider would still fulfill his duties. With the current strength of the Demon Country, cooperating with Konoha would be like courting disaster!
"Well, I know, Rider. My mother and I are very clear about this, but Rider, do you know?" Maitreya turned around and looked at the city outside the palace.
"Our Ghost Country is very weak, so weak that we can't even deal with some powerful bandits, let alone those big countries. Haha, we have even fallen into the crisis of national destruction many times, and each time we have to spend a huge price to hire ninjas from big countries to help us.
I was lucky enough to survive, but Rider, this kind of life is not good. As a witch, I hope to bring happiness to my people, not the precarious life they are in now."
"Master, could it be..." Rider was a little shocked. To make such a decision, a leader of a country cannot do it without some courage!
"That's right, the cooperation is fake. This time, we're going there mainly to discuss the merger. The Fire Nation is strong and more stable. The strongest nation in the ninja world won't be embarrassed to eat it. Besides, we have some relationship, so it's not difficult for us to accept."
"It's unbelievable."
"But Rider," Miroku looked at the confused Rider with an apologetic look on his face, "because of this, if Konoha also has a Master, we might have to give up, so I'm very sorry, Rider."
"This? It's okay. I want the Holy Grail, but I'm not too obsessed with it. Master, don't worry. Just do as you wish. So, are we heading to Konoha now?"
"Thank you, Rider. Well, as agreed, we should be almost there."
Rider smiled slightly and said nothing.
Time goes back slightly, in a small village in Kirigakure, a boy three years older than Naruto is experiencing the most important change in his life!
In the village, the boy's parents were looking at the ice in his hand excitedly.
"Mom, what is this?"
The boy's mother suppressed her excitement and placed her hands on the boy's shoulders: "Bai, this is a bloodline limit, a powerful force. Bai will be able to protect himself well from now on."
As he said this, he excitedly hugged Bai into his arms.
However, Bai was not very clear about the meaning of bloodline limits, so he was calmer. Therefore, he saw the extremely subtle fear in his father's eyes.
and disgust.
After all, the time was too short, and the thoughts of hostility and even exclusion of bloodline ninjas had not completely faded from their hearts. It was just that these were suppressed under the forced orders of Kirigakure.
Unfortunately, Bai discovered it.
After a while, under the complicated gazes of the villagers, Bai followed Zabuza, who was ordered to pick him up, and rushed towards Kirigakure, looking back every step of the way.
"Lord Zabuza, why?" Bai stopped and looked at Zabuza in confusion.
He was just young, but not stupid. He could sense the villagers' emotions to some extent, so he was confused.
Even though the villagers' living conditions had improved significantly due to my presence, they were still very hostile to me. In this huge village, only my mother was truly happy for me.
So Bai really doesn't understand
Zabuza was silent for a moment. Bai wasn't the first to ask this question. Seeing Bai's puzzled look, he said skillfully, "Because they are weak. The weak will fear the strong. This is the inferior nature of human beings. You are different from them. You don't need to consider their thoughts."
"Strong? Weak? But I can't beat them, right? Shouldn't I be the weak one? Does that mean the strong will also be hostile to the weak?"
"Strength and weakness are relative. What they fear is not the present you, but the future you. As long as you are strong enough, they won't dare to do that."
"Oh my, please don't instill bad thoughts into my Master."
"who!?"
Faced with the sudden voice, Zabuza became alert instantly. Although it was just the voice of a young boy, it was definitely not easy for him to hide in front of him!
"Servant Arther, meet the Master! And of course, Mr. Ninja who is instilling incorrect ideas into my Master again."
A blond boy who had taken off his pointed wizard hat suddenly appeared not far away. He faced them, put the hat on his chest, put his left hand behind his back, and bowed.
"Servant and Master? What is this?"
Seeing that Zabuza still hadn't lowered his guard, the blond boy, also known as Young Gil, spread his hands helplessly and explained helplessly: "First, let down your guard. At least remove that ninjutsu called Water Release over there. Then, the Holy Grail War."
After Zabuza withdrew the ninjutsu he was preparing for a sneak attack, Jill began to explain to them what the Holy Grail War was, part of his own identity, and what the master and servant should do.
After a while, Zabuza still didn't quite believe what Jill said and remained vigilant.
“That kind of thing.”
However, before Zabuza could finish his question, the golden ripples that appeared beside him stopped him. Besides the sense of fatality it brought, the most important point was that a similar thing had appeared in that man's hand before.
"Ah, it seems you've seen something similar before. That makes things easier. I really don't have any other ideas. I just want to help the Master obtain the Holy Grail."
"Get the Holy Grail? Didn't you say it was yours?"
"Well, this Holy Grail requires a certain ritual to appear, otherwise the wish won't work. As for my purpose, don't worry, I won't make a wish. I'm only here to retrieve something."
Jill saw Zabuza's worry and waved his hand casually, indicating that he had no intention of wishing to unify the world.
"Then let's go back to the village first." Zabuza saw signs of golden ripples appearing around him again, and hurriedly stopped what he was about to say and looked at Jill honestly.
"Without the Master being able to distinguish right from wrong, I will not allow you to take him away and turn him into a killing weapon. Forget about that. Participate in the Holy Grail War first. Once the Master has the ability to think independently, he can decide where to go. Any other opinions? Zabuza-san."
After saying that, Jill smiled and showed a kind expression.
"I see."
On the other side, as the supervisor of this Holy Grail War, Shiro also summoned the eighth servant of this battle, Ruler!
"It's you?" Shiro's pupils slightly dilated as he watched the figure slowly walk out of the magic circle. This person was a bit awkward.
"Are you surprised? Based on my deeds in life, Mr. Emiya, I think you should be able to serve as a ruler, right?"
"That's possible, but... it's quite unexpected. Ruler, will it also be affected by the holy relics?"
At this time, Shiro also calmed down. Although he felt a little embarrassed facing him, since the other party did not take action immediately, it meant that there was room for easing the situation.
"Partly, but the main reason I came here was to help Mr. Emiya solve some problems. After all, this is the only thing he can't tolerate."
After he finished speaking, a beam of moonlight fell, illuminating Ruler's white robe, his draped green hair, and the gentle smile on his face.
The one who came was the hero king Gilgamesh's only friend - Enkidu!
