Ziyuan thought for a moment and then said.
There was one more thing she didn't say: it was several times better than the Land of Demons, making her reluctant to leave.
"You're about the same age as Naruto and the others, are you interested in enrolling?"
Kitazawa asked with a light laugh.
[Current Task: Persuade Shion to join the gifted class.]
[Mission Reward: Half of your Chakra Limit.]
【Whether to accept? 】
Kitazawa sensed something was amiss.
The reward for this mission is surprisingly a significant increase in chakra limit.
Is it because Shion possesses powerful priestess power?
Kitazawa chose to accept.
This is practically a free reward.
At the same time, it also proved that Shion can indeed trigger system tasks.
Being able to trigger one system task means that more system tasks can be triggered subsequently.
"Eh?"
Ziyuan immediately exclaimed in surprise.
This was completely unexpected for her.
Her previous idea was to stay in Konoha Village for a while longer, but she never thought of staying to become a student at the Ninja Academy.
However, the suggestion was very appealing to her, and a conflicted expression unconsciously appeared on her face.
"But I am a priestess from the land of demons."
Shion sighed and said, "I can't leave the Land of Demons for long."
"Your idea is wrong."
Kitazawa shook his head and said, "The Land of Demons needs a powerful priestess. You can become stronger faster at the Konoha Ninja Academy."
"The land of demons has a lineage of priestesses."
Ziyuan hesitated for two seconds before speaking.
Having witnessed the performances of Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, and Neji Hyuga, she knew that the Konoha Ninja Academy was indeed very powerful.
Especially with a strong person like Kitazawa as a teacher.
However, she had not fully mastered the traditions of the priestess of the Land of Demons.
If Ashiho and the others allow her to stay at the Ninja Academy on this basis, they will not agree.
"Does your priestess tradition teach sealing techniques?"
Kitazawa countered with a question.
According to the original work, Miroku and Shion only knew sealing techniques and did not know any other ninjutsu.
Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense, because the mission of a shrine maiden is to seal away evil spirits.
"Ah."
Ziyuan nodded.
"Then let me ask you, now that the demon is gone, who are you going to seal with your sealing techniques?"
Kitazawa asked again.
"Eh?"
A look of astonishment appeared on Ziyuan's face.
This question hit the nail on the head, leaving her speechless.
“You possess great power, which was originally meant to seal away the demons, but now that the demons are gone, you should use it to protect the Land of Demons.”
Kitazawa said calmly.
Ziyuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
There are no ninjas in the Land of Demons, and the priestess's legacy only includes sealing techniques. Staying in Konoha Village is the best option for her if she wants to become stronger.
Of course, the most important reason was that she wanted to join the gifted program.
In the land of demons, she had no peers and had been confined to the temple of the witch goddess since childhood, completely alone.
"I'll go and discuss it with Azusa and the others."
Shion believed that Kitazawa's reasoning was enough to convince them.
Kitazawa nodded.
"Teacher Kitazawa, wait for me!"
Shion changed her address at lightning speed and jogged away from the ninja academy.
Bei Ze withdrew his gaze and continued his cultivation.
The bell rang.
The gifted students finished their training and went home.
"It's time to go home, Kitazawa."
Kurenai walked over from another playground and said with a smile.
Just as Kitazawa was about to speak, three lines of text appeared before him.
[Current Task: Persuade Shion to join the gifted class.]
[Mission Reward: Half of your Chakra Limit.]
[The host has completed the mission; reward issued.]
It seems that Shion has convinced Ashiho and the others.
Kitazawa clapped his hands, ending his cultivation.
Why aren't you leaving yet?
Kurenai Yuhi sensed something was amiss and couldn't help but ask.
Kitazawa walked up to her and told her about Shion joining the genius class.
Is there anything special about her?
Kurenai asked curiously.
"Her situation is similar to Yakumo's."
Kitazawa replied.
"No wonder you wanted her to join the gifted program."
Kurenai Yuhi was startled.
She knew all too well how powerful Yakumo Kurama was.
"In addition, her joining the genius class is also beneficial to the relationship between Konoha and the Land of Demons."
Kitazawa said casually.
"Ah."
Kurenai Yuhi nodded.
This is not hard to understand.
Shion is a priestess of the Land of Demons. If she becomes a student in the genius class, Konoha Village and the Land of Demons will become an unbreakable ally.
"Teacher Kitazawa!"
A moment later, a radiant Shion ran up to them and exclaimed excitedly, "Ashiho and the others agreed!"
"Alright, you can join the gifted class tomorrow."
Kitazawa nodded and said.
"Ok!"
Ziyuan said with a big smile.
Do you know the purpose of this bell?
Kitazawa pointed to the bell she was wearing and asked.
“This was left to me by my mother, Maitreya.”
Ziyuan paused for a moment, then explained, "She said she could protect me in crucial moments."
"This bell has a sealing spell on it."
Kitazawa examined it for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this is a sealing technique that suppresses power."
"What does it mean?"
Ziyuan looked bewildered and asked.
"Literal meaning."
Kitazawa replied, "It's suppressing your power."
"But... I haven't discovered that I have any special power."
Ziyuan sensed something was amiss.
"Take the bell off."
Kitazawa gave the instructions.
Upon hearing this, Ziyuan grabbed the bell, hesitated for a moment, and then took it off.
In an instant, a terrifying power erupted from her body.
Ziyuan was startled and quickly put the bell back on.
She realized what was happening and couldn't help but look at her hands.
That force was ridiculously strong.
But she never knew that she possessed such great power.
Kurenai Yuhi also showed a surprised expression.
This force made her feel suffocated.
If it were chakra, it would be dozens or even hundreds of times more than her chakra.
Kurenai Yuhi let out a long sigh.
These geniuses really left her speechless.
Kitazawa stroked his chin.
In the original work, the powers of the demons and the priestesses originated from the same source.
Kitazawa had assumed that the shrine maiden's power, like that of the demon, was a Yin Release technique, but now it seems that it is not, but rather a rare Yang Release technique.
So, "same origin" actually refers to mutual generation and mutual restraint? No wonder the priestess was able to seal away the demon.
If it were Yang Release, Shion could follow a similar path to Karin, focusing on sealing techniques, medical ninjutsu, and taijutsu.
The most lacking skill in the genius class right now is undoubtedly a medical ninja, with only Karin and Sakura Haruno available.
Now, adding a violet flower will slightly alleviate the awkward situation.
“Your mother gave you a bell because you couldn’t control this power.”
Kitazawa explained.
There is actually another reason: the Land of Demons has no other ninjutsu besides the sealing technique used to seal away demons.
Unable to handle the immense power within Shion, Miroku resorted to the most brutal method: sealing it away.
