"By the way, does that miko have any taboos?"

Shiraishi asked.

"Taboo? I've never heard of this. I've only heard that she has the ability to see into the future. She seems to be able to predict life and death with perfect accuracy."

"...This ability sounds really unlucky."

Predicting life and death... No matter what, it will give people a chilly feeling.

And it's always on target... to be honest, this is scary.

"By the way, before you go to see that witch, go and see my mother first. She has something to do with you."

Liuli suddenly remembered something and said.

"Find me?"

Shiraishi froze on the spot.

"Yeah, but don't pay attention to what she says. That woman has a bad character and is not a decent person."

When Baishi was stunned, Liuli reminded him again.

◎

Ruri's mother's name is Miyoko Uchiha.

To be honest, Shiraishi has seen her only a handful of times. The times when she returned to Konoha to visit Ruri were often irregular and there was no pattern to follow.

Shiraishi's impression of her was only that she was rich, dressed gorgeously, not fashionable, not too serious, and that she was a beauty.

A high-end mansion in the capital of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Miyoko Uchiha is wearing a gorgeous black kimono, with her hair tied up, fair skin, and holding a paper fan in her hand. Her real age is in her thirties, but she looks like a young woman in her twenties, Shiraishi.

Believe it all.

When Bai Shi came here, before she could speak, she already smiled and said:

"Have you and Liuli slept with each other?"

"Ahem!"

Shiraishi coughed violently and choked on the tea that rolled down his throat.

He thought about a lot, but he didn't expect that Miyoko would be the first to ask such a question.

"Oh, is this shyness? What a cute reaction. Sure enough, boys are more interesting to play with."

"Well, I'm not shy..."

"Don't admit it, there's nothing to be ashamed of. You know, when I was Liuli's age, Liuli was already two or three years old. But if I had to guess, Liuli would definitely be the one above."

This seems to be confirmed.

"..."

Shiraishi was unable to complain about this woman's brain circuit.

Seeing Shiraishi's confused look, Miyoko giggled, enjoying herself.

Just like Liuli said, she is a woman with a bad personality.

"Please stop making fun of me. Why did you come to see me? There are still a lot of things to deal with over there."

Shiraishi shook his head and smiled bitterly, ending this vulgar topic. Unlike her gorgeous and noble clothes, this woman's character was quite naughty.

"Don't worry, we agree to your marriage. After all, it is Liuli's choice. Because if we object to stop it, the child will definitely rush up and punch us each."

Miyoko hit her head with a paper fan, looking helpless.

Is this the reason why you don't object? It feels so casual. Shiraishi sighed inwardly.

"Okay, the previous topic ends here, let's talk about the business now."

After hearing Miyoko say this, Shiraishi sat up straight and listened carefully.

Miyoko took out a medicinal glass bottle from her clothes, which contained a pair of scarlet eyeballs.

The black markings on the eyeballs were complex patterns that Shiraishi had never seen before.

"Is this the Sharingan?"

Shiraishi asked uncertainly.

"To be precise, its name is the Mangekyō Sharingan. It is a more advanced form than the ordinary Sharingan."

Miyoko said in a light tone, watching the reaction on Shiraishi's face, an interesting smile appeared on her face.

"!?"

Mangekyō Sharingan?

There was a look of surprise in Shiraishi's eyes.

"Is it incredible? This kind of eyes does exist, but it is not as magical as you think. The power of taboos is often accompanied by many risks."

Miyoko said this and pushed the glass bottle in front of Shiraishi.

"What is this doing?"

I don't understand what Miyoko means.

"This is something someone entrusted me to give to you. I hope it can help your research. I will also send someone to send you any subsequent information about these eyes."

"Can I ask who the owner of these eyes is?"

As far as he knew, no one in the Uchiha clan had awakened these eyes.

"I will never tell you what I promised to others. However, you can ask others. If the witch doesn't mind, she might be able to tell you something."

Miyoko opened the paper fan and half-hided her face, with a smile in her eyes, but the answer she gave was ambiguous.

"Miko?"

"I don't know whether this is true or not. I just heard that the previous generation of shrine maidens from the Kingdom of Ghosts once held a 'purification' ceremony for the owner of these eyes. However, whether this is true or not, I just heard that

It’s just what people say. Just don’t take it completely seriously.”

After Miyoko finished speaking, she elegantly picked up the tea cup in front of her and slowly tasted the fragrant tea in the cup without saying a word.

It seems that it is impossible to get the answer from here.

Shiraishi picked up the glass bottle and looked directly into a pair of scarlet eyes in the bottle.

Even if he is not an Uchiha ninja, he can feel that there is a danger and power in these eyes that can confuse people's hearts.

Shiraishi thought that Liuli's parents had already been doing business in the Kingdom of Ghosts when Liuli was very young. They had established a solid foundation and were able to interfere in the official decisions of the Kingdom of Ghosts. This was not something that ordinary businessmen could do.

Perhaps, the relationship between the shrine maiden of the Demon Country and the Uchiha is more complicated than he thought.

◎

The shrine maidens of the land of ghosts have passed down the incomparable mysterious power from generation to generation.

One is to seal the demon.

The two of them can predict the future and decide the life and death of mortals.

The matter of sealing demons is too bizarre, but the ability to predict the future and decide life and death is widely spread in the country of ghosts and surrounding countries.

As long as you ask the nobles and commoners of the Kingdom of Ghosts, they will tell the inquirer that the ability of shrine maidens to predict the future is 100% accurate.

So far, there has not been a single failure.

Sacred, unknown, and a messenger of God, this is the impression that all people in the Kingdom of Ghosts have on witches.

In this country without a daimyo leader, having a miko as the leader is considered an anomaly in the ninja world.

Pass through the red torii gate and walk up the mountain path. At the top of the mountain path is the shrine where Maitreya, the current shrine maiden of the Demon Country, lives.

This shrine is built on the outskirts not far from the capital of the Kingdom of Demons. From this height, you can have a panoramic view of the entire capital.

The sky was getting dark, and the sunset dyed the western horizon red. It was an extremely beautiful dusk.

Shiraishi was led by a maid and walked up the steps on the mountain path.

After crossing the long steps, we finally arrived at the shrine.

On the front of the shrine, there are still rows of red torii gates standing in front, with birds perched on them.

A huge building was built on a huge platform, more like a palace than a shrine.

If so, Shiraishi wouldn't be surprised.

After all, it is the residence of the highest miko in the Kingdom of Demons. It is normal to have such a majestic palace.

However, there is really a lack of people here, and there are very few guards.

As a miko, there shouldn't be so few guards here to protect her.

Or... is there another hidden meaning here?

Shiraishi didn't think much about it. Under the leadership of the maid in a witch costume, he started to walk towards the palace. Walking along the long corridor of the palace, the trees in the courtyard and the dusk reflected each other and complemented each other.
To be continued...
