I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 133 Master and Father
"Go, Greedy Wolf!"

Near Gojo City, in an abandoned logging camp on the battlefield, Kakeruin Yura pointed.

"Ouch~~"

With a long howl, the gray giant wolf pounced out like a gust of wind.

At two meters tall, it has reached the limit for a 'canine': This is a North American gray wolf, which is two meters long excluding its tail and weighs 120 kilograms.

Its size alone is already not much different from that of a small tiger, and with the addition of 'demon power', it is even more powerful.

Pfft

Razor-sharp claws swept across, tearing the demon's wings.

splat,

With a single bite, it easily gnawed away a large chunk of the demon's enormous eyeball.

Faced with the onslaught of these flying demons, the giant wolf displayed an agility disproportionate to its size, leaping and dodging as if carried by an invisible gale, leaving behind afterimages.

"This greedy wolf possesses 'wind' elemental demonic power?"

You could tell at a glance that it wasn't just a vague impression, but a real wind carrying 'Greedy Wolf' at high speed.

"Yes, Master."

"As a melee shikigami, Tanlang not only needs good melee combat ability, but also a certain ability to provide rapid support."

Therefore, she chose to cultivate the 'wind' element: it can use 'wind' to accelerate the Greedy Wolf, improving its mobility; and it also possesses a very practical superpower:

"Greedy Wolf, use 'Netherworld Crescent Moon Wolf Fang Strike'!"

At the girl's command, the enormous gray wolf immediately opened its blood-red maw and spat out:
A gale burst forth from its mouth, forming a rapidly expanding cone-shaped miniature storm tornado that swept towards the merging demons.

This sudden gust of wind, rushing forward from the flat ground, stirred up a deafening howl; causing the dead trees within a hundred meters to crack and snap, and some thinner trees were even blown down and broken by the gale.

The demons caught in the storm were instantly torn and cut into countless pieces, just like paper thrown into a washing machine!

Even the half-fused chimera could only bury its limbs deep into the ground.

"it's useless,"

With a wave of his hand, the majestic Yuluo sent a gust of wind that shattered the ground.
It swirled the chimera and the soil together, the force increasing with each gust and the speed of the spin, finally slamming the battered chimera heavily onto the ground, leaving only a pool of amber-colored liquid.

"Wow, that's amazing, Yuluo."

The class monitor pushed up his round-framed glasses. This power is quite impressive, far surpassing most superhumans.

She was even far superior to the female foxes at the shrine she 'communicated with'.

"Hmph, my Tanlang is very powerful~~"

The girl touched the gray giant wolf that was shaking its head and wagging its tail as it ran up to her, eager to show off its accomplishment.

Then he turned around and looked at You with anticipation.

"Yes, Yura is very talented."

He patted the girl's head, and as she smiled with her eyes half-closed, Yu turned to comfort her:

"Nao, don't be discouraged."

"The 'Shikigami training' method I taught Yura is the kind of one-time upgrade."

It unlocks the potential of a shikigami, or rather a summoning beast, granting it a powerful ninjutsu, but only one.

"It seems easy to form combat power, but the upper limit is fixed: it will be very difficult to improve in the future. If there are no accidents, these 'shikigami' will still be so powerful after more than ten generations."

"But the foxes you contracted can cultivate and grow stronger step by step under the guidance of 'White Master,' and have a brighter future."

As time goes by, the class monitor's 'summoning beast' will definitely gradually surpass Yura's 'shikigami' in strength.

Of course, this is under normal circumstances.

"Yuluo, let's try out 'Shikigami Fusion'."

"Yes, master!"

As Yulu placed her small hand on the gray wolf's head, 'smilingly patting the dog's head,' the gray giant wolf immediately merged into her left hand.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a huge, hairy claw that resembled a boxing glove.

"Netherworld Crescent Moon Wolf Fang Breaker!"

With a wave of the girl's hand, a tornado immediately roared out, surging forward like a giant python turning over: everything caught in it was spun and cut by invisible wind blades, and the shattered earth, rocks, wood, and demons were all crushed.

With a single strike, it swept dozens of meters away, cutting down trees wherever it went. Its efficiency was so high that even mechanized logging trucks would be moved to tears.

"Not bad, but this name..."

Isn't that Temari's 'Wind Release: Kamaitachi Technique'?
"Master, is this name not good enough?"

"Don't you think it's too long?"

In response to Yu's comment, Yura tapped her lips with her right hand.

"No,"

"Anyway, the names of moves are just for sounding nice."

In a true battle between masters, there's no time to shout out the names of moves; they all rush to overpower their opponent first.

"Not bad wind magic, but it shouldn't be just that, right?"

Yu's sister, Qiong, spoke up, saying that for her brother to praise her so highly, she must have other merits as well.

"That's right,"

"This technique is not simply about creating a storm and cutting with wind blades."

"By injecting a large amount of spiritual energy, one can increase attack range, duration, destructive power, and so on."

At that time, it will be 'Wind Release: Great Scythe Weasel Technique'.

Moreover, besides the wind blade tearing, this technique has another hidden advantage:

"A vacuum effect will occur in the swirling storm: rendering attacks such as fire, sound, bombs, or spells ineffective."

As the signature ninjutsu of the Fourth Kazekage's eldest daughter in the Naruto world, 'Wind Release: Kamaitachi Technique' is a combination of offense and defense. When combined with Temari's 'Three-Star Fan', a single swipe can affect a large area: it's practically a tree terminator.

There are no special techniques.
He is a prime example of someone who can make bricks fly with great force.

"In this era, there are even more powerful sorcerers."

Don't forget, modern weapons excel at explosions: if Deidara traveled through time, he would surely praise the 'art' everywhere.

"Greedy Wolf is responsible for close-range and mid-range combat. And then—"

"Lian Zhen!"

Yura summons a goldfish and merges it with her right hand, raising both hands with a goldfish in one hand and a wolf claw in the other.

"In this way, it can be heard both near and far~~"

The girl swayed suddenly, but was caught by You, who quickly raised her hand to support her.

"what happened?"

"Little Pomelo"

Amidst the concerned voices of the class monitor and Qiongmei, Yulu shook her head.

"I'm fine,"

"Simultaneously fusing two shikigami seems a bit of a stretch."

“It’s already very strong.”

Yu patted the girl's back, and at the same time silently injected some chakra into her.

"Shikigami fusion can use the caster's spiritual power to enhance the shikigami's skills, achieving an effect where 1+1 is greater than 2."

"But it also puts a burden on the caster, who can withstand the fusion of two shikigami."

That's already considered genius.

-----

the other side,
"So that's how it is,"

"This humble monk used to love having fun, and spent many years frequenting various entertainment venues in Osaka."

Finally meeting someone his age who didn't immediately offer him condolences, the young monk couldn't help but reminisce about his glorious past. Although it had only been half a month, it felt like a distant memory from a past life.

"Oh?"

"So, the master is also a fellow traveler?"

Yagyu Isao, dressed in traditional samurai attire, was suddenly struck by a glimmer of hope, finally finding a bit of his former self amidst the daily grind of killing.

"When it comes to entertainment, Tokyo is definitely the most fashionable!" "You're too simplistic. The Osaka area has a thousand-year history; its culture and heritage are just as rich."

Two former spoiled brats unexpectedly become extraordinary, and they meet again by chance on this battlefield. After chatting for a while, they feel like they've known each other for ages and almost drink the wine to become sworn brothers.

"Speaking of which, benefactor, why are you fighting the enemy here all by yourself?"

After they became more familiar with each other, Shang Zhixiong used a more colloquial way of addressing him.

"Excuse my bluntness, but while your strength is not bad, it's only 'dog-level'. You can easily deal with Biyakki, but what about when you encounter a chimera?"

Just like before, if he hadn't intervened, this 'Brother Yagyu' would have been badly injured, if not killed.

"Hey, don't mention it."

When this topic came up, Yagyu Isao was filled with grievances and finally had someone to confide in.

"My damn old man just dumped me here and then abandoned me!"

"I don't know what got into him. Three months ago, our house suddenly had a 'gas explosion,' and his personality changed drastically afterward. He started training me like I wasn't human."

Thinking back on the past few months, Yagyu Isao even doubted how he managed to persevere.

"Can you imagine?"

"Someone trained their son to the point of developing rhabdomyolysis!"

Rhabdomyolysis is caused by excessive exercise leading to the death of skeletal muscle cells, releasing intracellular substances into the circulatory system; this can result in muscle pain, muscle weakness, and even acute kidney injury.

"There's also bamboo sword practice,"

"It left me with six fractures, and they haven't fully healed yet!"

Ah this
“Your father acted too hastily.”

After listening to the young samurai Yagyu Isao's complaints, the young monk also felt that this kind of "education" method was a bit extreme.

However, Shang Zhixiong had already gleaned some information from the conversation.

“Your father still cares about you.”

"No, buddy?"

Yagyu Isao was stunned and almost broke down on the spot.

"If we switched places, I guarantee I'd show you what cruelty really means!"

He couldn't remember how many times he had simply passed out, the feeling of his limbs being like lead, each breath excruciating, the burning, scraping sensation in his lungs; or the fear and despair of being just an ordinary person with a knife to his throat, forced to face the demon.
"But you've made it through, haven't you?"

The monk Zhixiong, dressed in a monk's robe, put his hands together and calmly asked the question.

"Now you can easily kill the demon, and even among the superhumans, you are considered a 'dog-level' expert."

"It sounds rather harsh coming from someone who killed a chimera with a single punch."

That's how people are; some people can have endless conflicts even after spending a long time together, while others become inseparable confidants the moment they meet. Faced with a monk who was several levels above him, Yagyu Shigeo, who had sheathed his sword, rolled his eyes.

"Zhixiong, you're at the 'Strong Wolf' level, right?"

To better differentiate them, each level is further subdivided into three tiers: 'weak', 'medium', and 'strong', corresponding to the American standard's three sub-levels: '-', '0', and '+'.

"A strong wolf? I guess so."

The official ranking of the young and Shang Zhixiong has not been determined, but he can kill a 'weak wolf' level synthetic beast with one punch, so it is certain that he is at the 'strong wolf' level.

Moreover, he possesses a magical artifact left behind by Master Konghai. When he activates the artifact, he becomes not a wolf-level being, but a tiger-level being!

Throughout the entire island nation, aside from those resurrected powerful demons, those who have reached the 'Tiger Level' can be counted on one hand.

However, the price of this power left the young monk with only bitterness.

"I really envy you, having such great power."

Yagyu Isao couldn't help but sigh.
"If I had that power, I would definitely make the old man pay."

"enough!"

"As I just said, your father cares about you."

?

Suddenly, I was angrily rebuked by a newly acquainted friend.

While Yagyu Isao was still in a daze, Heishi continued talking.

"You said before that you drank a 'Level 3 Extraordinary Potion,' right?"

"But do you know that after drinking the 'Level 3 Extraordinary Potion' and using melee weapons, you can only deal with two demons at the same time?"

Before Kazuo Shigeo arrived, Yagyu Yuuo had already killed six Biyou: if a chimera hadn't suddenly crashed into the battlefield, he could have killed six more with his desperate efforts.

"This humble monk has a keen sense of 'magical power',"

“The fluctuations in your magical power clearly indicate that you have consumed a ‘lesser extraordinary potion’.”

? !
"you mean"

He clenched his fist, disbelief appearing on Yagyu Isao's face.

In his view, his ability to slaughter the demons was definitely the result of his 'hellish training'.

However, the friend he had just met told him that there was another reason: the medicine his father had given him was actually of a higher quality.
"The potion your father gave you is a higher-level 'secondary extraordinary potion': although it is not as good as the best 'extraordinary potion', it is enough to put you at the 'dog level' from the start."

what?
That old man.

Such a thing was actually hidden?

Snapped,

He walked over, gently patted the stunned Yagyu Isao on the shoulder, and sighed with Shang Zhixiong.

"Friends, cherish the family around you."

"When you want to express your feelings one day, there will be no one to listen."

"Dude, could it be that you..."

Turning to look at the young monk who was walking away, I heard his words coming softly from my newly acquainted friend.

"These demon tides originated from my family's temple."

So,
No wonder they asked a question like 'You don't know me'.

Since the outbreak originated from his family's temple, he is most likely the sole survivor.

"Father,"

On the battlefield on the other side of the mountain, Yagyu Isao found 'Yagyu Hara Shige' standing in front of a chimera corpse.

"Have all the enemies over there been killed?"

"Yes!"

"Heading to the next battlefield."

"Yes!"

?

Glancing at this 'cheap son,' Onoda, who was wearing the skin of Yagyuhara Shige, had a hint of surprise in his eyes.

This spoiled brat from the Yagyu family was beaten and trained by him, and only dared to go to the battlefield with a knife to his throat.

But now they've suddenly become so proactive, which is puzzling, yet also somewhat understandable.

The feeling is that this child is teachable.

For an old man like 'Onoda' who is known for attracting nuclear weapons...

Training is almost entirely focused on hand-to-hand combat, with education as a secondary measure: if you can't kill them, beat them to death. As long as they survive, they're guaranteed to become masters!
Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, this is the educational style of Zhaohe: then again, if it weren't for this training method, Onoda's 'godfather' wouldn't have been able to fight a guerrilla war in the deep mountains alone for thirty years.

The military is inherently a place of iron-bloodedness, brutality, and savagery.

Their profession is killing, yet they still have to be refined and courteous.
Yeah, that kind is even scarier.

"Follow!"

In any case, for Onoda, it was just a "cheap" training session he was 'casually' taking advantage of to pass the time.

As for that bottle of 'lesser extraordinary potion', it was a reward he received for concealing his power and joining the battlefield.

He was already a 'Strong Wolf' level superhuman, so drinking another 'Dog' level potion was completely unnecessary. He simply gave it to his adopted son under the name of 'Level 3 Superhuman Potion'.

Looks like it can still come in handy!
The young man running behind him had a completely different mindset.

Father, just wait.

I will definitely make you look at me in a new light!
