After giving it some thought, Satori realized he hadn't done anything that could harm the world and eased up.
"Even if something was foreseen, it probably has nothing to do with me."
Honestly, he was actually quite curious about what the prophecy said.
Unfortunately, Jiraiya had left in a rush, so Satori never got any details.
Besides, Mount Myoboku was home to natural energy and Sage Arts.
After chatting briefly with Minato and Kushina, Satori enjoyed a hotpot meal before parting ways.
Returning to the Hyūga Clan, Satori started gathering the supplies and tools he'd need for his journey to Demon Country.
This mission shouldn't be made public.
He packed over a dozen Chakra Supplements and brought along two ninja who had fully unlocked the Eight Gates.
They would act as his bodyguards—more than enough for the job.
According to gathered intelligence, Demon Country was far from peaceful—frequent wars and conflicts broke out.
A group known as the Shadow Legion was running rampant through the nation, causing various disasters in their attempt to take control.
Time flew by.
Satori quietly boarded a plane bound for Earth Country alongside his two guards.
The plane started up, roaring as it shook violently and surged forward.
After some turbulence, the glass windows revealed the landscape rapidly vanishing behind them.
Looking around, everything outside was wide open. Konoha below grew smaller and smaller, fading into the horizon.
"Never rode a plane in my past life. Didn't expect to ride one in this life either."
Calmly seated on the plane, Satori gazed at the distant scenery, taking in every last detail.
Konoha was bustling and vibrant, surrounded by lush forests rich in resources and dotted with factories. These days, roads of all sizes crisscrossed the land.
From above, it resembled a beautiful painting.
As the plane moved onward, the scenery gradually changed.
After leaving Konoha, backward towns appeared below, along with patchwork-like fields.
The fields were divided into blocks, filled with lush, green plants bursting with life.
Satori didn't even need to guess—they had to be the genetically modified crops he had distributed earlier.
Only specially engineered high-quality crops could thrive so vibrantly in poor soil.
In a few years, the lives of common people would definitely improve, no longer struggling with hunger.
Thinking about that, he felt justified in hunting down the noble lords and aristocrats who stood against him.
By removing these annoying obstacles, the majority could be liberated sooner, and the world reshaped faster.
Flying past Grass Country, Hot Spring Country, and eventually reaching Earth Country, each nation displayed its own unique landscapes and geography.
For Satori, who had never left Fire Country before, this trip was a feast for the eyes, offering glimpses of many different countries.
After spending over ten hours on the plane, Satori finally arrived at his destination—Demon Country.
Geographically isolated, ringed by mountains, and situated in a lowland area, much of its land was cast in gloom and shadow.
Upon entering Demon Country, Satori stepped off the plane and silently slipped into a nearby town with his two bodyguards.
Upon entering the Land of Demons, the first priority was to gather intelligence.
Due to the Land of Demons' remoteness and internal chaos, Satori Hyūga had no clear understanding of its current state.
He needed to find someone who could tell him where Moryo's soul had been imprisoned and sealed.
That soul — the very objective of Satori's mission this time — was, according to his memory, brimming with immense evil power, or more accurately, chakra.
This chakra closely matched Shinno's research on Dark Chakra.
After a short walk, Satori reached a town.
But unlike the towns he had imagined, all the residents had their doors tightly shut at night, as if fending off intruders.
"Why isn't there a single person around?"
Satori glanced at the shuttered taverns and sighed. Maybe this was simply the custom in the Land of Demons.
Just then, a faint glimmer flickered across the pitch-black street, moving at an incredible speed — nearly imperceptible.
Frowning, Satori released the sealing formula and summoned two bodyguards.
He wasn't afraid of danger himself, but it would be reckless to needlessly endanger his guards.
"Bei Gongcheng, go check what that was."
"Yes, sir."
Bei Gongcheng led the way. His bulging muscles tensed as he shot forward like lightning.
No more than a few seconds passed before the sound of battle erupted from not far away.
"Let's go see."
Satori launched himself off the ground. Like an arrow loosed from a taut bowstring, he sped toward the battlefield.
Inside a sewer tunnel, eerie iridescent lights flickered, and thunderous booms reverberated through the air.
When Satori Hyūga arrived, he saw a group of ninja resembling a cult performing a ritual.
Nearby, several stone warriors gathered together, attacking Bei Gongcheng.
These stone warriors looked uncanny — strangely reminiscent of ancient terracotta soldiers from Satori's past life, a sight that struck him as deeply strange.
Moreover, they possessed immense strength, resisted blades and swords, and even regenerated swiftly when shattered.
Activating his Byakugan, Satori immediately detected an unusual energy within those stone figures.
Cold, eerie, dark — brimming with negative energy.
"Bei Gongcheng, activate [Lightning Release: Eight Gates], otherwise you won't kill these stone warriors," Satori commanded.
Upon hearing Satori's words, Bei Gongcheng let out a roar, and his body began to swell.
[Eight Gates Jutsu: Open!]
In an instant, the Eight Gates fully activated, unleashing Bei Gongcheng's full power.
Going all-out with the Eight Gates drained too much stamina, which was why he had never used its full power until now. At last, he had reached his peak state.
Boom!
Blue arcs of electricity burst forth, erupting around Bei Gongcheng's form in rapid succession, forming a kind of intangible armor.
With the Eight Gates open, Bei Gongcheng's expression turned cold and fierce; his aura surged skyward, radiating overwhelming dominance and raw power.
"A bunch of clay puppets dares to challenge me?"
"Die!"
His hair stood straight up as he glared furiously, Thunder Chakra swirling visibly in his palms, dense and tangible.
[Lightning Release: Eight Gates Technique] subtly altered Bei Gongcheng's personality.
Dominant, cruel, and prone to rage.
In return, his strength and offensive might reached their peak.
Puh! Puh! Puh!
Strike after strike — not a single stone warrior could endure even one blow, nor withstand his onslaught.
His overwhelming force shocked several nearby ninjas into cries of disbelief.
"It's impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"This is Moryo's might — how could it be overcome so easily?"
The leader formed a hand seal, exuding a chilling, malevolent aura as he tried to resurrect the broken stone warriors once again.
But at that moment,
the metallic clang of chains rang through the air. A jet-black chain, shrouded in shadow, spiraled around the leader from the darkness.
