Naruto of the Shinju

Chapter 18: Land of Eternal Night

Mitsui has infiltrated the priestess's home perfectly. Posing as one of her guards, he observed the woman in her room and he could tell that this woman is extremely powerful yet weak because she hasn't been taught ninjutsu by any of her guards. Plus, she is pompous, spoiled and pampered throughout her whole life and that made her apathetic to anyone else. She also complains in the slightest of things, to which Mitsui made him hate this woman more.

As night descends, he carefully went to the place where the shrine Moryu was sealed. He may not have the Rinne Sharingan but he could cast Yomotsu Hirasaka using his willpower alone, as he was a part of Naruto's power all along. He used Yomotsu Hirasaka and opened a dimension where the stars were right and did the ritual on how to release Moryu. As he was doing the ritual, Yomi and his gang of four, were secretly watching in a distance.

As the demon was released, Moryu asked Mitsui. "You're not a part of the clan that once worshipped me a long time ago. Tell me, who are you?"

"My name is Mitsui".

"Tell me, do you have plans of becoming my subordinate? I will grant you more power if you agree with my plans"

"I have no plans of becoming a subordinate of yours. I was here simply to use your power for myself alone", he smirked.

Hearing this, Yomi and the gang of four appeared in Mitsui's front. "I would not allow you to do that", Yomi shouted.

He bowed down to Moryu and said, "You could use my body as a vessel for now. After we execute this man, we will execute Shion so that she would no longer seal you again".

Moryu nodded and he possessed Yomi.

"Kill them", Moryu ordered, now possessing Yomi's body.

As the gang of four attacked Mitsui, he easily evaded each attack. Never doing any hand seals, he extended his hand and a burst of fire appeared, roasting the four, thereby killing them.

Shion woke up that night, receiving a vision that someone has freed Moryu.

One of Shion's servants came into her room, "Is there anything wrong, Lady Shion?"

With trembling voice, she said, "I want to go the shrine were Moryu was kept. One of my guards freed him".

The servant nodded and they quickly prepared to transport Shion into the shrine itself.

Flashback…

"Are you one of my new guards?"

"Yes, Lady Shion, and my name is Mitsui. Pleased to serve you, my Lady", he then bowed.

"You know what to do", she stated.

Mitsui left and Shion was suspicious of this man. There is a heavy feeling that has been resonating inside her, that this man would bring doom upon her.

As she was riding the palanquin, she muttered, "I was right after all. After meeting him, he was so suspicious. I didn't expect that he would execute this upon our first meeting".

Yomi and Mitsui were panting heavily.

"I didn't expect that you were so good, considering for a mere mortal like you", Moryu in Yomi's body said.

"Thanks for the compliment. You, too, I didn't know that you were this strong".

The two then continued to exchange a flurry of punches and kicks. Mitsui attacked Moryu with a lightning attack, only for it to stop and to be countered towards him, which Mitsui forced to dodge.

"Damn! I couldn't use Yomotsu Hirasaka because I'm only an avatar. If my real body was here, I could defeat this man easily", he thought.

"Giving up?", Moryu asked, his voice said mockingly.
