I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 157 The Hyuga Clan is the Strongest (Resounding)
Hey hey hey? !

Not to mention the superhumans present,
Even the high-ranking officials from both sides in the United States and the island nation, who were monitoring the battlefield through cameras on their power armor, were filled with surprise.

You boss don't play by the rules!

You should at least start by making some tough statements, then explain your plan, then exchange a few moves with everyone, and only then, in a fit of anger, unleash your trump card. How can you just start by launching your preparations right away?

It’s just that!

However, regardless of how those following the battle complain,
As countless black characters spread across the entire mountain range slowly rotated, they concentrated a massive amount of 'demonic power' into the center of the magic array.

"Such a strong demonic power!"

"This power is visible to the naked eye"

Shaped like a torch, or perhaps a pillar of light, the 'demonic power,' 'spiritual power,' or 'spiritual energy' soared into the sky, forming a visible energy wave that pierced through the dark clouds overhead! Whether it was the thick clouds or the countless flying demons, they all subconsciously circled the pillar of light, as if in worship.

"Hey, hey, hey, is this really just a tail?"

Iori Kazuka looked up and thought to herself, "This scene could be described as a resurrection of Tamamo-no-Mae, right?"
It wasn't that they insisted on standing by and watching the show, but rather that the force was too powerful, so powerful that everyone needed to be on high alert just to resist the impact, let alone interrupt it.

wrong!

There is one more person who can make a move:

boom--

With a stomp of his foot, Kafka instantly entered 'transformation' mode and shot out like a cannonball.

With a single punch, a dense, visible 'demonic power' condensed in front of the fist, forming a cone-shaped energy storm with the power to pierce through mountains!

Before his fist, reinforced concrete is nothing more than a crisp biscuit, and he can easily blast open hills and earth; no matter how terrifying this pillar of 'demonic power' light may be, it will inevitably be interfered with and destroyed, interrupting its summoning—

Snapped,

However, just as Kafka's fist was about to strike the towering pillar of light, a hand reached out from within.

It was a hand with five long, slender fingers, which looked like the hand of a refined person.

It was this very hand that effortlessly caught Kafka's powerful punch!

? !
next moment,
Turn your palm over, then toss it with your hand.

Kafka, who could easily smash through buildings and hills with his fists and feet, was thrown to the side!
Amidst the earth-shattering sonic boom, he crashed headfirst into the ground; as everyone saw it, the ground collapsed, creating a bottomless hole that swallowed Kafka's body.

The ground shook violently, the intense undulations creating the illusion of being on a raging ocean. Countless clods of earth and rocks erupted into the air like raging waves, the massive tremors echoing across the battlefield like thunder.

this--

The strongest Kafka was physically 'slipped' in a single encounter, making the others' mouths twitch.

"￥#@%@?"

A cold, clear voice came from within the pillar of light.

The music rose and fell, like a chant, which was very pleasant to listen to, but I couldn't understand it.

Accompanied by the sound, a figure in a wide-sleeved robe stepped out: he had grayish-white short hair, wore a white robe decorated only with a few black magatama, and was actually a handsome young man!
What's most striking is his pair of eyes, which are also grayish-white:
At first glance, it appears as if it has no pupils.

"Blood-stained khaki?"

The boy with the white eyes turned his head to look at the blood-red hakama floating in the air, and finally uttered the first word that the others could understand.

"Master She, first familiarize yourself with this era."

As Blood Hakama spoke, he flicked out a ball of light the size of a ping-pong ball.

The boy, with white eyes, white clothes, and white hair, reached out and took the ball of light, then closed his eyes slightly.

As the ball of light in his hand disappeared, seemingly having absorbed the 'knowledge' within, he spoke again:
"Has a thousand years already passed?"

Boom————

Just as the boy with the disdainful eyes was sighing, a loud bang rang out.

Kafka, who had been smashed into the ground, had risen up. His 'demonic power' had not diminished but increased, and a visible purple aura rose up. The ground within dozens of meters around him collapsed and cracked.

"Isn't that Ibaraki?"

The boy with the white eyes glanced at 'Kafka' indifferently and continued speaking expressionlessly.

"A mighty demon, sealed within a mortal's body, how laughable."

?

really,

Another ancient demon who knows 'Ibaraki'.
I just don't know what the origin of this 'tail' of Tamamo-no-Mae is, or what its abilities are.

"Hyuga Toneri?!"

The next second, they knew each other's names because:

"What are you doing"

Kafka was startled, for the sound came from his own mouth: or more precisely, from half of his face.

Unbeknownst to him, 'Ibaraki', who had been sealed within him, had awakened.
"Shut up, human."

"We're in trouble."

With half his face showing surprise and the other half serious, Kafka stared at the white-eyed boy who emerged from the pillar of light, his tone full of apprehension.

"It's not 'Sea Serpent,' not 'False Dizziness,' and not 'Red Lotus.'"

One by one, names were uttered from Kafka's mouth—no, from Ibaraki's.

"They actually revived 'Sheren' first?"

It is clear,
This boy with the white eyes was someone even the great demon 'Ibaraki' was very wary of.

"Hehe, times have changed~~"

The 'blood-stained trousers', hovering more than a meter off the ground, sneered.

"Although humanity in this era is weak and frail, it has made considerable achievements in the field of mechanical engineering."

"If I were to revive the other 'colleagues' first, encountering nuclear weapons would be somewhat troublesome; but if it is 'Sheren', then it is naturally no problem."

? ? ? ? ?

Upon hearing this, the high-ranking officers of the Metropolitan Police Department, who were closely monitoring the battlefield through the equipment carried by the 'armored unit,' all felt a buzzing in their heads, as if they had been hit on the head with a club.

nuclear weapon?
It was a nuclear weapon!!
This 'blood-stained katakana' was mentioned earlier in connection with nuclear weapons.
Sure enough, this extraordinary being, who was clearly of an 'intelligence type,' already had a very good understanding of technological weapons.

Judging from the time it took for the Sesshoseki to shatter, he had already been lurking in human society for two and a half years; however, he did not rush to take action, but instead secretly collected and understood the humanities, technology, social structure, and class structure of this era before starting to take action one by one from the lowest levels, such as gangsters, vagrants, and serious criminals, to test the government's attitude little by little.

Especially in the battlefield of Wakayama Prefecture, where they have been tacitly waging a "local war" with the island nation and the United States, they have finally summoned comrades capable of dealing with nuclear weapons.
A being of extraordinary stature for a thousand years, yet so cunning and calculating!

Are they trying to prevent 'ordinary people' from living?
"Everyone, calm down."

In the Gojo City command center, Chief Inspector Takeya, who had experienced many ups and downs, was calming down the Self-Defense Force officers who were either standing up abruptly or sitting slumped in a daze.

"This is only the other party's opinion and should not be taken seriously."

"Furthermore, the public's understanding of nuclear weapons is still stuck in the past."

The little boy and the fat man are very familiar to the island nation: only they have truly experienced nuclear weapons. It is precisely this weapon that has deterred the world, preventing major powers from attacking each other; it is humanity's ultimate weapon!
Almost everyone in the island nation knows about the scene after the explosion.

In order to maximize their lethality, both nuclear weapons were detonated at an altitude of 500 meters.

Therefore, there was no material at the center of the nuclear explosion: because there was simply no need for it.

"Even a demon of the Ghost level would be affected if it were at the center of a nuclear explosion." The temperature at the center of a nuclear explosion is as high as tens of millions of degrees Celsius, and the shock wave generated by hundreds of thousands of standard atmospheres is equivalent to more than ten times that of a Category 12 typhoon. Of course, the characteristics of modern weapons are that they can only last for a brief moment: after a few microseconds, the power will decrease rapidly with distance due to the spread in all directions.

Even after its power has diminished, it is still an absolutely deadly crisis for humans: there seem to be beings that can withstand a shockwave of thousands of degrees Celsius.
The past is the past, the present is the present. Leaving aside the epicenter of the nuclear explosion, let's focus on the impact of the nuclear spread—

It's not necessarily true that they can't withstand it!
“We also have General Kafka,”

Director Zhu Ya raised her voice, seemingly to boost morale, or perhaps to comfort herself.

"Even if there is one more 'great demon' than planned, we can still achieve victory without using nuclear weapons!"

Although her tone was firm, her trembling pupils, fixed on the screen, betrayed Director Zhu Ya's wavering heart: Can Kafka Lu Jiang really win?
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

In the Koya mountains,

"Human, hand over your left hand to me to control."

Faced with Ibaraki's suggestion, the middle-aged Kafka's eyes flickered, but he neither agreed nor objected.

"Don't think I'm taking advantage of your misfortune. This 'Hyuga Toneri' possesses the 'God's Eye' of 'Oohi no Kami'. You have no chance of winning."

Is this for real? Even descendants of gods have appeared?
The other extraordinary beings were stunned into numbness, then felt a pang of pain.

What's going on? We came here to fight a great demon, why are we suddenly facing off against the bloodline of a god?
The so-called 'Great Sun Goddess' is none other than Amaterasu: the most core main god of the island nation, the lord of the divine realm 'Takamagahara', the source of the island nation's 'unbroken imperial line', and so on!

"This... Toneri-kun, could he be Tamamo-no-Mae's offspring?!"

Fuji Seiko thought of a possibility and subconsciously spoke up.

Tamamo-mae,
It was the name of the Jade-Faced, Golden-Haired, Nine-Tailed Fox.

Legend has it that she was adopted by a samurai, possessed a beautiful and gentle appearance, and was proficient in all arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She was even praised as a virtuous princess who radiated light from within. As a result, she was given the special name "Tamamo" by Emperor Toba.

However, after Tamamo-no-Kami entered the palace, Emperor Toba suddenly fell seriously ill and was bedridden, but the imperial physicians were unable to determine the cause of his illness.

Finally, it was Abe no Yasachika, grandson of the Onmyoji Abe no Seimei, who revealed his true identity.
"bingo,"

The 'Ibaraki' controlling half of Kafka's face grinned and answered.
"He is the offspring created by Tamamo-no-Mae after absorbing the essence of Emperor Toba, and also one of the demon king's tails: Hyuga Toneri!"

"What's even more troublesome is that he also awakened Amaterasu's Eye of God."

The boy's eyes did not have distinct black and white pupils, but rather gray-white pupils like jade, serene, indifferent, and aloof!
Although the other party did not look at anyone, all the extraordinary beings present had an instinctive feeling: their every move was being observed by the other party.

"You great demon, you do have some knowledge."

Letting 'Ibaraki' reveal his true identity, 'Hyuga Toneri,' dressed in white with white hair, white eyes, and white skin, raised a hand and beckoned to the crowd.

"A bunch of ants, who will step forward to die first?"

The boy with the white eyes spoke calmly, seemingly unconcerned about the large number of extraordinary individuals present.

His attitude can be described as truly 'looking down on everyone'.

"Hmph, even if you are a great demon."

One of the special police officers snorted and spoke first.
"Even if we all attack at once, you might not be able to kill us all!"

Another special police officer couldn't hold back either, and stepped forward wearing power armor and wielding a high-tech sword and shield.

"Since he is a yokai offspring created by Tamamo-no-Mae by absorbing the essence of Emperor Toba, we don't need to talk to him about morality."

"Everyone come together!"

Their core message is clear: if they can gang up on someone, they'll never fight one-on-one.

Unfortunately, they didn't know that they were facing the Hyuga clan, known as the "Number One in Konoha."

“Noisy,”

"Danger--!"

No sooner had Kafka uttered his warning than the boy with the rolled-up eyes snapped his fingers.

?

There was no earth-shattering fanfare, no mysterious or bizarre 'sorcery'; the two extraordinary guards who had spoken maintained their arrogant posture, but the light in their eyes quickly dimmed.

"Warning! Warning! The driver has lost vital signs!"

"Warning, warning"

The two high-tech powered armor suits immediately activated their alarms because their pilots had already:
"died?"

How did you do that?
Iori Kazuka immediately raised her shield.

He protected himself and the Fujiwara no Seiko behind him, while his gaze fell on Kafka—no, it should be said that it was the 'Ibaraki' within him.

“It’s a ‘flying blade needle’,”

As expected of a thousand-year-old demon, Ibaraki lived up to expectations and immediately recognized the opponent's abilities.

"It's very simple. Just condense your demonic power into an invisible needle and launch it."

It sounds simple, but who can actually do it?!

This move is actually Hinata Hyuga's "Guardian Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms": she gathers chakra in her palm and refines it, strengthening it into a needle-like shape. When she uses it, any object that comes near it will be shattered. The first time she used it was to cut the queen bee of the "Kami-Sui-ryu Clan" into pieces.

If you keep training like this, the ultimate goal will be Princess Kaguya's 'Rabbit Hair Needle'.

Only Kaguya-hime has the power to use her hair to attack and instantly lock onto the chakra points of everyone on the battlefield.

"Amitabha,"

With the hatred of his father's murder and the destruction of his sect right before his eyes, Monk Zhixiong clasped his hands together, and a five-meter-tall statue of Immovable King appeared around him, his eyes wide open in fury! Each of his six arms held a magical weapon, and he charged towards the white-eyed boy, determined to subdue the demon!
Since he was an accomplice of his enemy 'Blood Hakama', then he was his enemy.

"Ah,"

However, the boy with the disdainful eyes just gave a cold smile.
"A mere five-meter-tall 'Acala'? Are you trying to make me laugh?"

"Roar!!"

At the same time, Tanimura Hoshino had merged with the three demon dogs, transforming into a giant three-headed hellhound. With a kick from its four paws, it spun like the wind, transforming into a huge white claw tornado, and launched a fierce attack on 'Hyuga Toneri' from the other side!

"Oh? A dog demon's combination technique?"

"It would be more appropriate to replace them with the two sons of the Dog General—"

Faced with the combined attack of two 'Tiger-level' fighters, the Byakugan-wielding boy named 'Hyuga Toneri' smiled nonchalantly.

"You don't know, what happens when you face my 'Eye of God'."

"Please, please don't let it turn into a group fight."

As he spoke, the boy stretched out his hands.

Just as Monk Shixiong and Mrs. Tanimura rushed towards them at high speed.

In the nick of time, he easily caught the sword that Fudo Myo-o was thrusting down with all its might, as well as the giant dog's front paw that was spinning at high speed.

? !
next moment,
He pulled with both hands.

A gentle yet irresistible force traveled upwards along the magic sword and claws.

This force pulled Monk Zhixiong and Mrs. Tanimura sharply off course: it was as if they had fallen into a raging torrent; the invisible, intangible, yet omnipresent force instantly altered the trajectory of their attack, causing them to:

Click!

Pfft!

Six magical artifacts pierced the giant dog's body, splattering blood; its fangs and claws became embedded in the golden phantom of the King of Light, cracks appearing on its surface!
