I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 150 Heroism
We can't keep dragging this on.
Although the situation seemed evenly matched, Kafka had a feeling that if he remained in his 'monstrous' state for too long, he would completely become a monster.

This is the price of power, and it's fair; he didn't feel he had anything to complain about, so—

"Meow?"

During the fierce battle, the giant cat 'Photon' suddenly noticed that the aura of this little 'enemy' was rapidly declining.

Alright, the opponent can't hold on any longer!

After all, it is a 'ninja beast', and its intelligence has been greatly improved.

Seeing that its opponent was showing signs of fatigue, it immediately roused itself and continued its fierce attack.

Like a normal feline, the gigantic 'cat demon' raised one front paw and swung it forward:
Cat paw strike!

The force of a normal cat's patting is only enough to give a human a massage.

But when the 30-meter-long 'Neko-mata' slaps down, a crater immediately appears on the ground, like a bomb crater from a heavy artillery strike! And these slaps aren't just one, but a dense array of them.

Cats react seven times faster than humans, and after becoming a superhuman, 'Nekomata's' reaction speed was greatly enhanced.

Even with its current enormous size, when it swung its claw, the entire front paw still turned into a blur.

As dense as a sudden rainstorm, as swift as a shooting star, countless cat claws crashed down.

Boom boom boom boom! ! !
The thunderous sound was deafening, and the shockwaves of the explosion spread through the city in waves, shattering buildings, roads, and streets into countless fragments, leaving everyone who witnessed it feeling a chill run through their bodies.

Even in the live stream of blogger 'KYG', the chat disappeared.

Indeed, in nature, big is beautiful, big is powerful!

The giant 'Nekomata' is also a prime example of 'great strength and flying bricks'; its 'cat claw strike' alone is enough to wipe out an army.

call out----

Amidst the smoke and dust, Kafka suddenly flew backward, leaving a gray trail in the air.

It seems so.
[This is bad; is Kafka no match for them?]

[Shut up! General Lu is invincible and could never be defeated!]

[Other superhumans? Why didn't they come to help?]

I recall that a few days ago, Gojo City also experienced a wave of supernatural disasters, reportedly resulting in heavy casualties.

Sparse comments floated across the live stream again. Despite the number of viewers exceeding ten million, there were very few comments: on the one hand, those who were not high enough in level were not qualified to post; on the other hand, most people in the island nation were filled with worry about the destructive power of this 'Nekomata'.

Don't be fooled by the fact that adventurers from all over the world are flocking to the island nation; many people in the island nation want to leave: supernatural disasters occur every few days, who can stand it?
Of course, Tokyo—especially the 'Shinju Ward'—is definitely safe.

But the land prices there... well...
"Meow~~~!!"

Seeing that her 'enemy' was no match for her and began to flee, 'Nekomata' Mitsuko immediately gave chase with excitement.

"Little kitty, you underestimate the wickedness of the human heart."

The 'paper dance' in the air floated forward. Of course, he knew that Kafka had not yet reached his limit. This posture was just a way to seduce the 'cat demon'.

The two chased and fled, quickly leaving the city. As they left the buildings behind, the docks appeared ahead.

And the sea!

Like Tokyo, Osaka is a coastal city.

Nishinomiya City, which is next to Osaka, is also by the sea. With two extraordinary highways, it only takes a few minutes to reach the beach.

brush----

Facing the vast ocean ahead, Kafka, clad in blue armor, didn't hesitate. He leaped onto the sea and continued running across the water.

? !
"Meow~~"

The cat, which had rushed to the dock and suddenly stopped, let out a dissatisfied meow, probably meaning 'despicable humans'.

Cats are afraid of water.

Moreover, unlike other extraordinary beings, 'Nekoto' Mitsuko has never practiced water walking.

Given its enormous size, it doesn't seem like it could walk freely on the water like a humanoid superhuman.

Hey, got it!

In a flash of inspiration, the giant 'Nekomata' opened its mouth and instinctively gathered its 'demon power' in front of it.

This is certainly not a Tailed Beast Ball; it's just a simple fireball.

However, with the current form of 'Nekomata', surrounded by gathered white flames, with flowing firelight and soaring crimson flames, its light and heat are comparable to a small sun.

Although the fireball hovered in front of the 'Nekomata's' open mouth, the sea below was already sizzling with steam from the heat.

Its power is evident; no matter how fast that hateful 'enemy' runs, it won't be able to escape!
The giant 'Nekomata' turned its golden pupils and saw:
call out----

A stream of 'demonic power' erupted from behind, and Kafka suddenly turned around and charged at it!

puff!
No time to aim
The giant 'Nekota' immediately spat out the gathered fireball.

This fireball, carrying unparalleled light and heat and accompanied by scorching winds, flew out; wherever it went, the sea surface, which was not in direct contact with it, was stretched into a 'depression' by the high temperature.

But it's too late!

With a flash, Kafka dodged the fireball and appeared directly in front of Nekomata.

With his full burst of speed, dodging this 'slow' fireball was no problem at all, and his goal was:

The little girl sleeping inside the 'Nekomata', Takahashi Eileen!

Woohoo! !

Visible demonic power surged forth again from the 'air pores' on its back; only an existence capable of absorbing 'natural energy' would dare to squander it like this.

The immense recoil propelled Kafka like a beam of light straight into the 'Nekomata's' enormous maw.

"Meow???"

As Kafka burst into its mouth, the giant 'Neko-mata' Mitsuko stood up in surprise, its claws reaching into its throat, trying to pull the other out.

But how could that be?

After all, its body is a creation made of chakra, and it doesn't have any 'vomiting reaction' phenomenon at all.

I've got it! I can send my 'little minions' to attack that despicable human.

"Meow~~~!!"

Amidst the fierce cries, the black markings on the giant 'Nekomata's' body gradually disappeared.

Kafka, who rushed into the 'Nekomata's' body, tore forward with both hands, his whole body 'swimming' rapidly in the blue energy, heading towards the direction with the most concentrated 'demon power'.

Takahashi Eileen had only gained her 'supernatural ability' a few hours ago, yet she was already considered exceptionally gifted to be able to create such a huge 'cat'.

Expecting her to learn how to 'conceal her aura' without any instruction is asking too much of her.
Demonic power continuously emanated from the heart.

It pointed Kafka in the right direction.

I see!
It's not that easy—

Forcibly entering the 'Nekomata's' body, the 'viscous' demonic power rapidly slowed Kafka down.

What's more troublesome is that black 'cats' are emerging from the surrounding blue-green demonic energy.

They are the cat spirits 'resurrected' by Eileen Takahashi, under the command of Photon:

They all infiltrated his body and launched an attack on Kafka from all directions!

Within the 'Nekota's' body, it was their absolute home ground; moreover, their master, who had resurrected them, was in imminent danger, so these cat souls didn't care about the impact and corrosion, and pounced on Kafka, biting, scratching, and in the blink of an eye, they completely enveloped Kafka.

But they are too weak.

Kafka continued to advance inside the 'Nekomata', ignoring the attacks from the surrounding cats, until he 'walked' to the sleeping Takahashi Eileen.

Then he reached out his hand!

scare--

As the crisis unfolds, the little girl, who had been in a deep sleep and had subconsciously created the 'Nekomatsuri', is also awakened by the fright.

In the eyes of the extraordinary blogger 'KYG' and countless viewers of the live stream:
The gigantic 'Nekomata' froze for a few seconds.

Then, this 'nekomata' that easily ravaged the city began to disappear from its head like melting snow.

It was revealed:
Kafka kneeling down and extending his hand to the little girl.

"As long as a person is alive, they will always encounter all kinds of bad things and good things; bad people and good people."

"But even after recognizing the truth of life, I still love life."

Only then can one be called a 'hero'.

Having said that, the bony armor on his face receded, and the scarred middle-aged man, Kafka, extended another invitation:
"If you trust me, I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

When faced with a sincere middle-aged person,

Takahashi Eileen subconsciously reached out her hand.
But the moment he grabbed Kafka's finger, he suddenly yanked it away.

Although she looks like a little girl, Takahashi Eileen is a superhuman after all; with a sudden burst of strength, she actually flung the unsuspecting Kafka away.

"Hmph, I won't go with you."

The little girl snorted and then glanced furtively at the 'paper dance' in front of her.

Just now, this 'paper dancing older sister' was floating behind the uncle, looking like she was about to make a move.

"Master Paper Dance, I can't beat him."

"Should we retreat first?"

"."

Are all you kids so cunning?

'Paper Dance' almost rolled her eyes at Eileen Takahashi's clumsy acting.

Seriously, what do you take me for? I never do things like backstabbing; I always deal with them head-on!

"Let's go,"

Neither side had the intention to kill.

With most of it already used up, there's no point in keeping it any longer.

Reaching out to take Takahashi Eileen's hand, countless fluttering papers surrounded the two of them, then exploded with a bang:

There was no trace of the two people inside; only sheets of white paper slowly drifted down.

?

"I was actually saved by them."

It drifted down onto the ruins of the nearby dock, and Kafka noticed it too.

Takahashi Eileen deliberately shook him off because 'Paper Dance' was right behind him at that time.

Although he couldn't persuade the other party to stay, he would definitely keep his word: start by investigating why the extraordinary potion hadn't been distributed!

Osaka, Chuo Ward.

"Speaker, what should we do?"

"If we can't keep it a secret any longer, what will happen to us?"

Just as the 'Ibaraki-Douji Jinchuriki' was battling the 'youth version of the Two-Tailed Nekomata',
In a Western-style mansion from the last century, seven or eight high-ranking officials gathered together, looking so anxious and flustered that they seemed ready to hang themselves.

They are all powerful figures in the Osaka Metropolitan Police Department, the Self-Defense Forces, and the Osaka Prefectural Government, while the elderly man sitting in the head seat is the Speaker of the Osaka Prefectural Assembly. The assembly is responsible for drafting and amending the Osaka Prefectural Government Ordinance, approving the government budget and final accounts, and voting on major matters within Osaka Prefecture, wielding considerable power.

The reason they gathered here was because of 'Takahashi Eileen'!
Before dealing with 'Ibaraki', Director Zhuya promised each person 3 'secondary extraordinary potions' or 20 'tertiary extraordinary potions'.

After sealing 'Ibaraki,' Tokyo did indeed distribute the potion: they had that much credibility, after all, they would need these extraordinary individuals to handle future extraordinary events, big and small. However—

"Due to the conflict between the Takahashi family and [the other party], in order to prevent the conflict from escalating, we are temporarily storing these medicines to maintain social stability."

A police chief repeatedly said this, not to anyone else, but to 'comfort' himself.

However, the reality was that they only saw that the Takahashi family had lost their supernatural abilities, and coupled with the Takahashi couple's smug and provocative behavior after their 'sudden wealth,' they had little connection with anyone in the supernatural community. This was further compounded by a rumor spread by a certain native supernatural being.
These greed-blinded officials withheld the three doses of 'secondary extraordinary medicine' that should have been distributed to the Takahashi family.

As long as we can delay, we have plenty of ways to erase the Takahashi family's 'voice' from this world.

They would even be happy to watch the show if that original transcendent secretly intervened.

Such a precious and extraordinary potion should be enjoyed by them!
He didn't even need to take action himself.
Those below can handle it.

But now:

"Okay! Go talk to Takahashi Eileen and see if she believes you."

A refined-looking official suddenly took off his glasses and retorted fiercely.

He was merely a 'section chief' in the Osaka Prefectural Government, helping to cover up Mr. Takahashi's antics; in this circle, he was a nobody with little influence. Those 'lesser supernatural potions' never even reached his hands, yet now he was forced to live in fear alongside him, already exasperated under immense pressure.

The mansion also had a 'live broadcast,' and with their intricate network of connections, they already knew about Kafka's declaration that he was preparing to 'settle accounts' with them.

That person is the island nation's number one superhuman, a 'First Class Army General' highly regarded by the Self-Defense Forces!
In the past, these powerful officials in Osaka would not have been afraid of a mere naval commander.

Status, power, seniority, and connections are the standards for determining the seriousness of an event: officials who are removed from office due to various scandals are never defeated by any kind of 'justice,' but simply by being brought down by their political enemies.

In the past, such "minor matters" would be pushed down the chain of command, with a few low-level "corporate slaves" taking the blame, or even "nothing happening" at all.

After all, it was just an ordinary family that had suddenly become rich.

But now:

"That bastard Kafka!"

"Who does he think he is, a champion of justice? Someone who can disregard the 'rules' and act recklessly—"

Bang!
Just as the Metropolitan Police Department chief was angrily berating someone, a military boot kicked open the door!
tap tap tap,

Amidst the sound of hurried footsteps, a large group of armed self-defense forces surged in, led by a lieutenant.

As soon as he entered the room, his gaze swept over a pale-faced middle-aged man in a Self-Defense Force uniform, and then he spoke slowly and deliberately:
"Osaka Prefectural Assembly Chairman Katsuhisa Mita, Metropolitan Police Department Chief of Police Toshiro Toyama, and a Second Lieutenant of the Osaka Division of the Self-Defense Forces have committed treason! The facts are clear and the evidence is conclusive! They have been directly detained by the Self-Defense Forces and are awaiting trial!"

"Criminals, will you leave on your own, or—"

The leading lieutenant raised his hand to signal to the door; if they didn't want to be dignified, their soldiers would help these high-ranking officials be 'dignified'!
"Humph,"

"We'll walk by ourselves."

The officials in the room stood up, their expressions suggesting they were still somewhat unwilling. Most of them had their eyes darting around, seemingly intending to confess first and then use their connections to influence things afterward.

He downplayed the seriousness of the matter and let it go; a few years later, he made a comeback.
"idiot."

Faced with these high-ranking officials who were putting on airs, the Self-Defense Force lieutenant gave a cold smile.

"You haven't grasped the situation yet. Do you think you can escape punishment by relying on your past connections, rules, and power?"

Kafka has already demonstrated his ability to take on an entire army single-handedly.

This is the age of the extraordinary!

Old folks, it's time to make way—
