I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 207 ends abruptly
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——

Missiles trailed long white trajectories, drawing numerous dense lines in the sky as they hurtled southwards towards Wakayama Prefecture.

These missiles came from island nations and Russia, including the Type 81 and Kinzhal missiles. They were launched from missile launchers and silos, warships and naval bases, and various types of fighter jets. Missiles of all types and specifications seemed to be gathering from all directions as if they were free.

In a normal war, one must also consider public opinion, reconstruction, and even cost-effectiveness.
But this time, the island nation and Russia really went all out, frantically dropping all their anti-aircraft missiles south of Wakayama Prefecture!
On one hand, all the high-ranking officials they sent to the tripartite talks had been assassinated, and they had to respond; of course, this was just an excuse. The most important reason was that if they lost this time, the island nation, having lost most of its supernatural power, would be forced to cower under the glow of the Tokyo Divine Tree, barely surviving.

We can't afford to lose!

Besides nuclear bombs, almost all anti-aircraft weapons were used. The southern sky of Wakayama Prefecture was illuminated by a continuous series of explosions. Countless 'Biya' were caught in the explosions and were blown to bits, with limbs and dismembered bodies falling like rain.

?

"These demons?"

"They've stopped pushing south!"

Under the relentless bombardment that could be described as a mobilization of the entire nation's resources, even the millions of demons seemed somewhat weak; even the warriors who had deployed their forces on the two islands discovered that these demons no longer attempted to break through, but instead turned to attack them.

"Blood Hakama has given up on summoning demons to help him."

"He fused with the 'sea serpent'?"

"The others here can hold on. If we go over there, we might be able to help!"

Simple demons and 'synthetic beasts' are no match for these martial family heads who have mastered 'breathing techniques,' and their consumption is not too great.

At the signal of Tokugawa Mitsunari, who was wearing armor, Yagyu Onoda, Honda Nidai, Takagi Miwa, Hattori Hanzo, Koga Takeo and others turned around and sped off towards the southern sea.

"Everyone in the family, take the secret medicine!"

"Yes!"

On the huge ground-effect vehicle, the 'apprentice Onmyoji' of the Ishigani family took out military ration pills and swallowed them.

These 'trainee Onmyoji' can only create explosive tags and military rations at the moment, and haven't even mastered a decent 'Onmyoji technique', but they are enough as 'human batteries': their role is to provide spiritual power for the Igotani siblings so that the two siblings can use spells with maximum effect.

But that's not enough.
The Isogai siblings also took out a green pill.

"you."

Hai Ren frowned slightly upon seeing the pills in their hands.

"Master, please take a rest."

"Just watch, this is our awareness!"

After saying that, the two swallowed the pills in their hands and simultaneously let out a groan of pain.

This is the Akimichi family's 'Three-Colored Pill,' which grants explosive power upon consumption. The price is excruciating pain throughout the body, comparable to taking a supernatural potion. It is considered a superior product to the 'Military Rations Pill.'

"I shouldn't have taught you this knowledge."

Amidst Hai Ren's sigh, Isoya Dai, whose face was contorted in agony, turned around, gave a thumbs-up, and forced a smile.

"Master, Sister Hai Ren,"

"Everyone has a goal they'll fight for, aren't you the same?"

Is it a goal?
The goal of the sea ninja 'a thousand years ago' was to become the strongest shadow ninja, and then sign a contract with an Onmyoji to slay demons and monsters together.
"In that case, I won't stop you."

"Go-"

After receiving their master's approval, the entire Isoya family, all on drugs, unleashed their greatest power: even if it was just a single move, as long as it could influence the battle and demonstrate their determination, that would be enough.

"Three-headed water dragon bullet!"

Boom, boom, boom!

Three giant dragons made of seawater raised their heads from the ocean and roared as they lunged at the 'sea serpent'.

"A trivial skill,"

As soon as the 'sea serpent' opened its mouth, a torrent of flames erupted from it.

The current 'Sea Serpent' is not simply a colossal monster, but an extraordinary monster capable of using magic under the control of 'Blood Hakama'.

Even a large-scale ninjutsu unleashed by a group of cannon fodder who barely reached the 'genin' rank due to drug use, along with the equally drug-using Isoya siblings, couldn't possibly harm him.

"Freeze it!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh,

Three beams of white light shot out, freezing the sea beneath the 'Sea Serpent'.

?

I was affected by this.
One water dragon collided with the fire dragon, while two other water dragons, one on the left and one on the right, bypassed it and rushed towards the 'sea serpent', entangling it.

"Roar! Get out of here—"

However, no matter how fiercely it erupts, two mere water dragons cannot restrain the sea serpent!
The sea serpent raised its head and shook violently, causing the water dragon to collapse on the spot!
On the ground effect vehicle in the distance, the members of the Isoya family collapsed to the ground, blood gushing from their mouths and noses.

"Wow, that's too strong."

Still not working?
"No,"

After taking a short rest, Hai Ren appeared behind the two children and lifted them up, one in each hand.

"Your attack has achieved its effect."

Under the combined attack of the two major Onmyoji families, the sea serpent's movements were inevitably slowed down, but that was enough:
"Hey, hey, hey, why are you fighting against the Nine-Tailed Fox's forces again?"

Kafka's face was half-revealed with a domineering expression, clearly indicating that the 'Ibaraki' inside him had been awakened.

"I'm sorry, Ibaraki."

"Ha, if it's someone fighting the Nine-Tails, I'd be happy to get involved!"

While the two were communicating, Kafka had completely entered a state of 'divine transformation'.

He was not the restrained Jugo. With his full power, 'gas holes' appeared on his back, and purple demonic energy surged out, instantly pushing Kafka from extreme stillness to extreme movement!

At the same time, numerous 'exhaust vents' instantly sprouted from behind the raised left elbow joint, also spewing out purple demonic power, causing the power of this punch to soar, continuously increase, and become unstoppable—

? ? ? ?
"Ibaraki!"

"You really think I'm afraid of you?"

Facing the charging 'Ibaraki', who had been repelled by him before, 'Blood Hakama' also felt his blood boil. He steered 'Sea Serpent' and suddenly shook his head, preparing to confront it head-on!
Ordinary superhumans on the battlefield couldn't see Kafka; they could only see the colossal 'sea serpent' swing its head and suddenly stop.

In an instant, the enormous sea serpent seemed to freeze, maintaining its sweeping posture.

Immediately afterwards, a ring of purplish-black light spheres expanded out.

This is the collision of two massive chakras.
boom--------

The sphere of light, which had expanded to hundreds of meters in size, exploded with a deafening roar, and the massive blast instantly engulfed everything, forming an ever-expanding sphere!

The sea below instantly 'dented' into a deep hole, and after a second of stillness, towering waves spread out in all directions! Then, seawater poured into this giant hole, immediately causing violent whirlpools and tsunamis.

Even the clouds in the sky were torn apart by the rising shockwave, forming concentric circles of white that spread outwards.

In a single battle, the world changed color!

"Get out of the way!"

"careful!"

"this?"

The shockwave, accompanied by towering waves hundreds of meters high, roared out, enough to instantly capsize an aircraft carrier and submerge a modern fleet, causing the onlookers to change their expressions drastically.

Before the giant wave even arrived, the large ground effect vehicle tilted and lost its balance.

brush,

Before the terrified young men and women of the Isogai family could react, the flower-like shadow had already wrapped around them, then with a roll and a pull, it gathered everyone together.

"Water wall—"

With a slash of his longsword, Hai Ren created a water sphere ten meters in diameter that enveloped everyone.

The next second, the giant wave easily crushed, shattered, and turned the 'ground effect vehicle' into countless flying parts, and then it was instantly submerged by the seawater.

However, this water sphere was like a ping-pong ball without any force, letting the waves push it away into the distance; clearly, Hai Ren had intervened to save the Isoya family: otherwise, they would have been wiped out.

"Nani?!"

The Yagyu Onoda group, who had just arrived from afar across the sea only to be met with a tsunami, also changed their expressions.

With nowhere to hide on the open sea, Yagyu Onoda drew his twin swords and took a deep breath.

"Wind Barrier—"

He slashed forward with both swords with all his might, forming a 'V' shaped wind wall.

Rumble! ...

The triangular wind wall pierced into the waves, and although it shattered on the spot in less than a second, it was enough.

The waves, which were originally as overwhelming as mountains, were torn open.

This allowed the three of them to escape.

The reason there are three people is:

Honda II, who had leaped into the air to avoid the waves, looked down at his ankles.

"Hey, lend a hand."

Hattori Hanzo, who was gripping the girl's armored ankle, gave an awkward laugh.
The girl paid no attention to the 'accessory' on her leg, but instead looked up into the distance:

As soon as the shockwave spread out, many people's eyes were already fixed on the center of the battlefield, eager to know: who won this battle?
"Tsk, Ibaraki."

A hoarse voice filled with hatred rang out.
In the ocean, the enormous 'sea serpent' with its swaying body shook its head, and half of its head disappeared!

Meanwhile, Kafka, who had fallen onto the sea, appeared to be completely unharmed.
No, that's not right!

"Kafka is wounded."

Flying back several thousand meters, Pegasus, possessing the 'Eye of God,' wished to speak.

She could see it clearly: Kafka appeared unharmed, but the 'spiritual power' flowing in his left hand was chaotic and unformed, clearly unlike his appearance.

On the other hand:
Gollum~~
In a silent wriggling motion,
Clusters of black 'spiritual energy' emerged from the damaged head of the sea serpent, quickly replenishing and repairing it completely.

"He's just a human who uses the power of 'Ibaraki'."

Despite saying this, the sea serpent, or rather, the blood katana, which coiled and twisted in the turbulent sea, adopting a serpentine 'defensive' posture, clearly did not dare to underestimate its opponent.

After all, this is Ibaraki, the second-in-command under the three great demon kings, Shuten-dōji.

Even when sealed within a human body, it should not be underestimated.

?

"Meow~~~" Just as the two sides were facing off, a large milk cat flew over from the turbulent northern horizon, with a little girl who kept looking back on its back.

Behind the cat and the girl was a young monk striding after them.

Wherever he landed, a golden chakra lotus bloomed; he truly 'walked through the air with every step,' appearing as if an Arhat had descended to earth.

A 'talent of the Immortal Clan' can materialize chakra for attacks, and temporarily condensing a lotus flower in the air is not a difficult task.

Although this 'cool' way of traveling consumes a lot of 'magic power', Master Zhixiong couldn't care less.

"Amitabha, this humble monk is late."

Stepping onto the 'golden lotus' and charging into the battlefield, Master Zhixiong glanced at the surging sea and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the situation isn't too bad.

“Master Zhixiong, you have arrived at just the right time.”

Kafka smiled as he watched the young monk descend from the sky and land on the sea.

After breaking through during the 'Yellow Spring Rift' incident, he also reached the Great Demon level. No, I mean the Ghost level: the island nation specially set up a 'Vajra Monk' level for him to avoid everyone calling him 'Ghost level'.

In this way, humanity will have three top-tier combatants!

"I'm sorry, Paper Dance Sister."

Riding on the cat 'Mitsuko', flying to the side of Paper Dance, Takahashi Eileen lowered her head.

"I couldn't stop him."

While Takahashi Eileen's abilities are indeed extraordinary, her own strength is still somewhat weak. In addition, Master Shio is very effective at countering her: once the Hundred-Hand Guanyin is activated, she can only confront him head-on.

Even when the Akatsuki sent the immortal duo to deal with Jiraiya, they were initially beaten badly; only after Jiraiya had exhausted a lot of his chakra and could no longer maintain his all-around defense did Hidan seize the opportunity to take his blood and then kill him with a curse.

Despite employing numerous tactics, it's understandable that Takahashi Eileen, lacking in decisive action, ultimately failed.

Surely we can't just call on our family member 'Kafka' to fight the enemy?
"It's fine,"

Paper Dance patted the little girl's head and smiled as she comforted her.

"Little Ai Ling is already very capable."

"Did I arrive just in time?"

Then a clear, cold voice rang out, and a white crane carrying a young man flew in from the southern sea.

The young man, dressed in white with white hair and possessing greyish-white pupils, was none other than:

Hyuga Toneri!

On one side, there are many extraordinary humans; on the other, several powerful demons.

On the vast ocean, the two sides were clearly separated.

"Tsk, so many powerful individuals."

"The beings gathered here are enough to destroy a country, aren't they?"

As he walked across the sea towards the battlefield, Takagi Miwa couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement: facing him were the great demon Blood Hakama, the sea serpent, Toneri, Paper Dance, and Takahashi Eileen.

Our side is led by Kafka Riku, Shio the Mage, Kakaiin Yura, and Tenma Ai-mei, along with several Tiger-level and numerous Wolf-level fighters.
Dogs of this caliber don't even have the right to approach.

Even those wolf-level warriors who had mastered the 'breathing technique' only dared to stand on the periphery.

"Hey?"

Hyuga Toneri's gaze fell on Tenma Nozomi.

"Amaterasu bloodline,"

"Wasn't it said that the royal family line had ended?"

"what,"

Scratching his hair, Tianma looked helpless.

"Actually, I'm kind of a wanderer among the common people."

"It doesn't matter,"

Hyuga Toneri's greyish-white pupils swept across the scene, instantly assessing the situation.

"Three great demons,"

As for the rest, they're nothing but small fry.

"Are you coming one by one, or all at once?"

As soon as this person appeared,

Is he planning to take on the entire field single-handedly?
"and many more,"

Glug glug

Emerging from the head of the 'sea serpent,' the blood-stained trousers, their faces veiled by a cloth curtain, swept across the battlefield.

"Master, let's put the battle aside for now."

"Don't forget our goal is to resurrect our master."

"what do you mean?"

Facing Hyuga Toneri, who turned to look at him, Bloodhakama spoke calmly in a hoarse voice.

"I've collected almost all the souls I needed,"

"There's no need to waste time with them,"

"Let's go to the Sea Kingdom first and take back the 'Yasakani no Magatama'."

"If someone were to obtain the 'Yasakani no Magatama', we would have already swept across the entire island nation."

After saying that, he glanced at someone.

"Humph,"

"Even without jade, I am not afraid of anyone."

To this, Hyuga Toneri could only respond with a cold snort.

Taking the 'Eight-Foot Magatama' was originally his business, but—

It's been so long, and we still haven't managed to take the artifact from 'Hai Ming'.

The proud and arrogant young man had nothing to say.

? !
Amidst the astonished gazes of the humans, Blood Hakama slapped downwards with one hand.

"Demon Lord, come here!"

Thump,

Amidst the rising smoke, a gigantic 'Bi Yao' appeared out of thin air.

This monster also consists of enormous eyeballs and organs resembling a brain, the only difference being:

Her body was covered in holes, and with rhythmic wriggling, one after another, demons emerged from them, clearly indicating that she was the one 'hatching' demons!

"It is the source of the demons."

"Kill them—"

What a joke!
Forget about killing the other side, it would be good enough if we didn't get killed ourselves.

"Humans, enjoy this rare moment of peace."

Landing on the enormous 'Demon Lord', Blood Hakama gave the crowd one last 'look'.

"When my Lord returns, it will be a day of upheaval!"

After saying that, he turned around in his 'Demon Lord'.

"Let's go,"

"Boring."

Hyuga Toneri also waved his sleeve.

"Hehe, no need to fight, this is not bad either."

The paper dance landed on the cat-like 'Mitsuko' and pointed to her two other colleagues.

"Little Ai Ling, keep up."

"Roar?"

As for the dull-witted 'sea serpent' in the ocean, after a moment of hesitation, it also turned and dived into the sea.

Is this the end?
"Otherwise what?"

Yu, who was pressing the earpiece, made a comment.

"Their goal is to resurrect that being, not to fight us to the death."

"Since we're such a tough nut to crack, let's go somewhere else and collect souls easily and happily: we might even manage to steal some artifacts along the way~~"

South?

Non-professional, Australia.
Never mind! In other words:

"Did we win?"

"Gentlemen, we have won!!"

As the cries of disbelief echoed across the battlefield, they eventually transformed into a sea of ​​cheers.

While we can't say we've defeated them, at least we've forced them to retreat: for the island nation, this is an unprecedented victory!

Previously, when facing extraordinary opponents, they were almost always at a disadvantage. This time, however, they were able to achieve a stalemate, forcing their opponent to hesitate before making a move, which was still a significant breakthrough.

However, while everyone was cheering, Director Zhu Ya pushed up her glasses and closed her eyes without any joy.

The reason why the island nation's superhumans have been able to maintain 'cooperation' until now is because of the pressure from the Nine-Tailed Fox's power.

Now that the other party has left, the real 'chaos' is about to begin.

This time, it's not an external enemy.

But:

Internal division!
