I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 210 New battlefield
Wakayama Prefecture,

With the departure of the 'Blood Hoods', the numerous defensive lines and military bases that had been built became useless.

Foreign legions from various countries also began packing up and leaving: the island nation extended olive branches to those 'extraordinary mercenary groups,' and some, after consideration, accepted the island nation's recruitment and brought their families to Tokyo; others, however, embarked on another battlefield:
Tuao!

Whether or not a person lives or dies is of little concern to most Western countries.

But Australia is, after all, a branch of the same lineage as them, and they can't give it up so easily.

Australia is the world's fourth-largest exporter of agricultural products and also a major producer and exporter of mineral products; it is not something that many countries can easily give up.

And: For ordinary people, demons are a calamity to be avoided at all costs, but for many people and many countries, they are a shortcut to turning their lives around and realizing their dreams: the extraordinary potion!
It's quite normal for these foreign legions, who have extensive experience fighting the 'Biblio', to rush to the next battlefield and choose to continue fighting their 'old rivals' after receiving high bounties.

In just a few days, Mount Koya, which had been bustling with gunfire and activity, suddenly became deserted.

"Did you do it?"

"Yes, I led the team to do it."

Two people walked side by side on the undulating, desolate hills of the Koya Mountains.

One was a young monk dressed in black robes, holding prayer beads; the other was a young samurai dressed in blue armor, with two swords tucked into his waistband.

Master Shixiong, Yagyu Onoda.

“This is my father’s last wish, and I should fulfill it for him.”

Facing his friend, Yagyu Onoda openly admitted that the simultaneous destruction of several military bases in America was not only due to his efforts, but also to the Hattori Hanzo family, the Koga ninja, the Honda family, the Takagi family, and the Tokugawa family.

These martial arts families gathered together, and dozens of extraordinary individuals charged in.

What recourse do ordinary American soldiers have besides cursing "fuck" and giving the middle finger before they die?

"Amitabha,"

Master Zhixiong softly chanted a Buddhist prayer, and then:

There's no after that!

He never considered himself a 'high monk' nor did he ever have any ideas about 'equality of all beings'.

He ran home and searched everywhere for the 'extraordinary inheritance' simply because of his yearning for power.

My stay in Shimane Prefecture during this period is not out of any 'compassion'.

Instead, it was to repay the kindness of the two old hunters, Ishikawa and Fujiwara.

Should one betray a close friend for the sake of righteousness?
What do Americans have to do with Buddha?
"This is it,"

The two arrived at a hill with a huge crater. Due to the rampage of the 'Bai Yao' and the fact that a nuclear bomb had once hit this place, Master Zhi Xiong's 'home' had long since disappeared without a trace, not to mention his father.

"Master."

He clasped his hands together and bowed his head in reverence to the deep pit.

"I will rebuild the 'Kōyasan Esoteric Buddhism', please rest assured."

With his current strength, Abbot Zhixiong is undoubtedly a true 'Vajra incarnate', and it is only natural for him to establish his own sect. In fact, countless monks of the Shingon school are eagerly waiting for him to rebuild the temple so that they can come and take refuge in him.

"If there's anything you can do to help me, just let me know."

Beside him, Yagyu Onoda rested his hand on the hilt of his sword: his strength was naturally inferior to that of the monk Shio, but it was still not to be underestimated.

The breakthrough he achieved after defeating his 'father' propelled him into the Tiger tier. Even in today's island nation, he is a formidable figure: his twin swords have cleaved through hundred-meter waves and intercepted the monstrous tide of demons, placing him among the second-tier powerhouses.

"it is good,"

Master Zhixiong was also very informal with his friends.

"What are your plans next?"

After being assassinated by the "Wu family," America, which had already suffered the loss of three aircraft carrier fleets, withdrew from the island nation and issued more than 1000 sanctions: from energy satellites to food parts, even the island nation's Shiba Inu dogs are included in the sanctions, receiving better treatment than Russia.

"Next, I plan to go to Hokkaido to hone my sword skills."

With America gone, Yagyu, having fulfilled his 'godfather' Onoda's wish, prepares to head to Hokkaido, a place perpetually covered in snow, to train in the extreme north.

He also has another 'biological father's' wish: to revitalize the Yagyu family.

Tiger level is not enough; it must be at least a 'strong tiger'!
"Take care on your journey,"

Master Zhixiong naturally didn't say much about his friend's decision.

"What do I have to worry about, being all alone in the wilderness?"

"As for you, you'll have to deal with the government, teach your disciples, and contend with supernatural disasters from now on."

He patted Master Shio on the shoulder and raised his chin.

You should take good care of yourself.

"gone!"

After saying this, the warrior in blue turned around and strode off in the northwest direction.

---

Adachi Ward, Tokyo.

"So, what brings you here?"

Yu picked up the tea that Qiongmei had brewed and glanced at Director Zhuya in front of her.

"Although the Nine-Tails' forces have left, you should know that we are far from safe: Orochi is still lurking in the underworld, ready to return to the mortal realm at any time."

Few people know of the existence of 'Yamata no Orochi', but Director Takeya in front of me is one of them.

Moreover, even without mentioning Orochi, there are still a huge number of evil spirits in the island nation!
"I'm not here to discuss supernatural matters."

Director Zhu Ya also picked up her tea and took a sip.
"Instead, we seek guidance on the lives of our citizens."

?

"As you know, Yu-kun, we parted ways with America because of certain people."

Following Yu's gesture to continue, Director Zhuya continued:

"America is blessed with unique advantages, including a vast central plain, the Mississippi River with abundant water resources, a suitable latitude, high urbanization, and advanced modern agricultural technology."

Its main agricultural products include corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton, sugar, and tobacco; as well as beef, dairy products, and cotton, these products hold important positions in the global market.
With annual agricultural exports reaching nearly 200 billion US dollars, America ranks first in the world. It is no exaggeration to say that America is the 'world's breadbasket'.

"Although we own a large amount of land in Brazil, the world's second-largest grain exporter, however—"

Because of sea serpents, the cost of sea freight has increased dramatically;
Moreover, while America is weakened, it has not yet collapsed; Brazilian agricultural products will also be subject to its restrictions.

As for other countries, it's not that they can't fill this gap: but it's obvious that they would hold out for a higher price.

As for Russia, there's plenty of potatoes from Siberia.

Just kidding, but this issue serves as a wake-up call for the island nation's government.

As chaos sweeps in, it's best to keep some things in your own hands.

"So, I'd like to ask Yu-kun for help."

"Stop talking!"

Yu rolled her eyes as she raised her hand to interrupt Director Zhuya.

"So that's why you had time to come here for tea. You wanted me to intervene: No way, you can go yourselves!"

"As expected, I couldn't hide it from Yu-kun,"

Director Zhu Ya put down her teacup and smiled.
"That's just a little face from the government, how can it compare to yours, Mr. You?" "What face do I have?"

Yu waved her hand again, not at all like someone who frequently goes to the 'divine tree'.

"I'm just going to see some acquaintances,"

He also took a look at his 'sacred tree': after all, it was the result of his hard work over such a long period of time.

Looking at it every day and feeling the planetary energy I'm constantly absorbing, even if no one knows about it, is a kind of enjoyment.

"That's right,"

"Given the relationship between Yu-kun and Mikami-ko, even Lord Hakuzosu would give you face."

"So, what does this have to do with me?"

What should we do about the food shortage?
In the past, the natural solution would have been to clear land and cultivate it. However, this island nation is a country where over 66% of its land is forested, making it unsuitable for grain cultivation. Even with full mechanization and the use of fertilizers, yields still wouldn't increase.

Of course, being full isn't a problem, but eating well is.
"I think we ate too much."

Yu retorted, "This is the extraordinary era, so naturally there are solutions for the extraordinary era."

"If you want 'White Master' to help, why don't you government do it yourselves? Why do you have to drag me into it? Don't you value my reputation?"

"Yu-kun, we're just worried about not saving face for the government~~"

As the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face, and You was speechless in the face of Director Zhu Ya's smiling explanation.

Who is worshipping atop the sacred tree in Tokyo?

Inari God: Miketsu!
What is the divine duty of Inari deity?
It's not about healing, it's about abundance!

Now, facing the sanctions imposed by the United States and the impact of the serpents, resulting in food shortages, they will naturally turn to this deity for help.

Of course, the gods are too far away, and they live in Takamagahara, so they might not be willing to listen to the troubles of the human world; but the divine messenger 'Hakuzosu' is in the shrine on the sacred tree, and he has the ability to create a giant forest out of thin air in the city of steel and concrete.

If he makes a move—

What food crisis? It's all just a drop in the ocean.

"Don't even think about it. That 'White Master' isn't exactly a diligent person either."

Yu waved his hand, besides, the task he gave 'White Hidden Master' was to defend the divine tree to the death, and incidentally protect the Heavenly Maiden Ying. Going to plant crops or anything like that...
"It's not impossible."

Touching her chin, You came up with a solution.

"Aren't there quite a few descendants of 'Hakuzosu' in the woods behind the shrine?"

“They should all possess the abilities of ‘Hakuzosu’. Asking ‘Hakuzosu’ to take action is certainly unrealistic, but asking his descendants to take action should not be a problem.”

Yu granted 'Hakuzosu' the Wood Release bloodline limit, so theoretically, his offspring with those 'beautiful foxes' all have the potential to awaken Wood Release.

These little foxes are wasting their time playing on the sacred tree; it's a good opportunity to make use of them too.

The little foxes: ? ? ?
Wood Release and the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, are two different concepts.

The strong one is Hashirama Senju, not Wood Release: In Boruto's era, Moegi Kazamatsuri, Konohamaru's sidekick, has become a Jonin. She also possesses the Wood Release kekkei genkai, but its power—

Those who hear it are sad and those who see it cry.

It can only use plants to hide, so calling it Wood Release is more like calling it Grass Release.

The main reason is that the First Hokage was too strong, elevating Wood Release to a level that did not belong to it: normal Wood Release is not much stronger than other bloodline limits.

Even so, using Wood Release to accelerate plant growth should be no problem even with those little foxes. Speaking of which, wouldn't this be considered child labor exploitation?

"Anyway, I've given you the idea."

"As for how to persuade 'Master White' to ask his son to help, that's your business."

Can extraordinary abilities be inherited?

Seeing that Director Zhuya seemed to be deep in thought, You gave him a heads-up.

"Don't you dare try to take advantage of his offspring: if Master Bai gets angry, I won't interfere."

"No, no, that person is a divine messenger. Who in the island nation would dare to offend him?"

"By the way, Yu-kun, are you really not going to reconsider?"

Director Zhuya then raised the second topic: Yu's combat strength has always been a mystery, but his 'teaching' ability is undoubtedly top-notch in Japan. It can even be said that among all the extraordinary beings that have appeared so far, he is the undisputed number one.

Flowers bloom in the courtyard, pomelo and pineapple.
Yu's disciple, now one of the three top combat forces in the island nation!

That 'Shikigami Fusion Technique' made countless extraordinary individuals drool with envy: as long as they fused with a Shikigami, their strength would increase dramatically.

Especially after the 'three-in-one' fusion, it even crossed the threshold of 'great demon' and became one of the top combat forces.

Although her "shortcut" method is not as powerful and domineering as Kafka's pure strength, nor as wondrous as Master Zhixiong's Hundred-Hand Guanyin, it is only because she has just broken through. Once she stabilizes, she will undoubtedly be a major figure who influences the world's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or pattern of the world).

Under these circumstances, her teacher, You, naturally became the object of countless people's desire to become her disciple.

"No, no!"

Yu waved his hand impatiently.

"Tokyo Metropolitan Higher School of Jujutsu. You actually want me to take a position there? No way!"

???

"Why,"

"It's not about teaching any secret techniques, just ordinary tips and skills."

"No means no. Show them out."

Faced with You's resolute attitude, Director Zhuya got up to take her leave.

"Excuse me,"

"It's best not to come~~"

What the hell? Sending him to teach people at the 'Advanced Sorcery School'?
Did the last invincible person who said "I will win" have already turned into a Gundam?

After seeing Director Zhuya off, You's eyes flickered.

Speaking of America, the little octopus 'Kishira' has quietly grown to the limit of 'Tiger Level': Yu has rewarded the little octopus who is trying to spread her 'name' with many obscure ninjutsu, and even granted her the authority to 'teach' them.

Of course, those ninjutsu techniques were all modified beyond recognition to better 'fit' the American mentality.

As for the method of 'teaching,' it was rather bloody and bizarre. Then:
rave reviews.

Members of the 'Cthulhu' cult all agreed that this was the right way to go; they were happy to take the risks, believing that only in this way could they pay the price for climbing the 'stairway to God'.
In short, without anyone noticing, a large number of wealthy, powerful, and famous people within America have already pledged allegiance to the Church of Cthulhu.

They are just waiting for the 'Hidden Lady's' command to overthrow Yahweh and establish the 'Father' as the state religion.

In response, all I can say is that the people over there are really professional at running cults.

"Although it's true that I can do it if I want to."

You put down her teacup.

"Make 'Cthulhu' the state religion of America immediately,"

It's as easy as pie!
Unfortunately, what Yu wanted was neither faith nor peace, but the advancement that battles brought.

It's time for the other entity, 'God Space' under the Yellow King, to make its move.
