After rigorous training, they ate and went to bed in tents they setup. It was evening and they slept deeply.
" Arise Hatashi Hirakima " Nakimara commanded as he spoke from Hatashi's head.
" What do you want now Nakimara?" Hatashi said as he came out of his tent.
"The time has come for me to take my revenge on that old wizard Shinohamaru" Nakimara said.
"The legendary wizard Shinohamaru the chosen of the gods is the one you want to kill" Hatashi said mockingly.
"Wasn't he the one who sealed you" Hatashi continued as he laughed.
"Are you in or not?" Nakimara asked.
"Of course, not" Hatashi said, now done laughing. "We'll both be killed"
"No need to worry just give control of your body and I'll do take care of the rest" Nakimara said indifferently.
"If I refuse" Hatashi asked with a serious look.
"Do you even know why he sealed me?" Nakimara asked as Hatashi stayed quiet.
" He wanted my power for himself " Nakimara continued. "Think of it why didn't he let me die instead of sealing me given I am a demon"
"He does have a point" Hatashi thought. " OK I accept only this once"
In an instant, Nakimara took control of Hatashi's body and teleported to Shinohamaru's temple. When they appeared at the temple, Shinohamaru was bowing down to the Usuki idols. The temple was brightly lit up by several torches.
"Long time no see old man" Nakimara said. After Nakimara spoke, Shinohamaru stood up but didn't look at them immediately.
"I've been expecting Nakimara and I see you have corrupted the body of this poor Hirakima boy" Shinohamaru said then turned to see them. Shinohamaru had a long white beard and long white hair. He held a long cane as he walked with his back slightly hunched.
"You're not any better old man" Nakimara said with a grin then charged at him with his sword but he blocked Nakimara using a solar shield.
"Say what you want demon but I shall cleanse this boy of you" Shinohamaru said.
"Sealing technique" Shinohamaru announced then the he disappeared. What Nakimara attacked was an illusion all along! The real Shinohamaru stood behind him.
"Where were you Hatashi" Tiatsuri and Kaitara asked in unison as they and Sensei Hashiro looked at him.
" We were looking for you" Tiatsuri said
" I couldn't sleep so I took a walk around the forest and slept their and so I had to teleport here using dark technique" Hatashi lied. Although he felt bad for lying to them, he didn't show it in his emotions. He couldn't let them find out about the Devil's Eye.
"OK dude don't worry about it" Tiatsuri said.
"Sensei Hashiro left some food for you in case you returned and he said we have a mission at the coast to defeat the river king" Tiatsuri said.
While hearing all the information, Hatashi prepared himself then they all set out together for coastal territory of the Usuki kingdom.
