The shinobi standing nearby stared in amazement, and the high priestess looked no better, although her brightly shining eyes showed that her dojutsu was working at full capacity. The time spent in the temple allowed us to gather information and understand its functions.
"Just clones?" Nisu raised an eyebrow. "It looks more like a battle between dozens of ninja took place here!"
"What did you expect from S-class shinobi? Mizu no Seirei at your service!" I chuckled smugly, accepting the fear and respect in the eyes of those around me as a matter of course.
Suddenly, the village gates opened and new stone warriors began to emerge and line up, accompanied by human figures, interrupting the brief pause that had arisen, and Miroku sighed excitedly.
"Thanks to Nara-dono's efforts, Morieu spent a lot on creating a new army, weakening himself before he could fully recover," she flashed a smile, "Now it will be a little easier to deal with him!
"But we have more enemies now," the commander frowned, clenching the hilt of his sword and turning to the fighters standing behind us, raising his voice, "Let's stick to the plan, don't take any unnecessary risks, and support our comrades. As soon as the priests do their job, we'll immediately attack the shinobi. Forward!"
Three hundred samurai and shinobi rushed forward, quickly reorganizing into teams of three, covering the comrade carrying the priest.
Huge spears flew from the first battered squad of Yureigun, but the fighters easily dodged or deflected them. Pulling a scroll from my pouch, I crushed it and threw it aside. With a small pop, a kage bunshin appeared in its place.
"Support the army," I commanded the doppelganger, refreshing his memory with a burst of yin chakra.
"I'll do it, boss!" The clone nodded and rushed after the army.
The high priestess and her personal kunoichi remained where they were, watching with excitement as the first fighters clashed with the golems and were engulfed by the concentration of spiritual power of the seal under the priests.
The demon's already severely damaged forces were swept away in a minute with almost no losses, thanks to the fact that they were moving fairly tightly, taking several hits at a time.
This was fortunate, because a few moments later, fresh reinforcements of demon worshippers arrived, this time accompanied by others, and a bloody battle ensued, amid which whirlwinds of chakra stood out, mowing down enemies.
"It's time," I nodded to Miroku and ran around the battle toward the walls of the hidden village where the strongest demon to appear in Oni no Kuni was holed up.
