I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 233 Each Person's Fate

"So you recognize me?"

Even through the white mask, Toja Kiohama had already discerned quite a bit from the little girl's eyes and subtle movements.

"I don't know which conglomerate's young lady you are, nor do I know where you get your power from."

“I’m here to deal with the ‘Hands and Meetings’.”

Ouma's company, Nogi Trading, is also a large conglomerate that collaborates extensively with the government. Organizations like the Hand Association, if left undetected, will certainly be eradicated once their existence is known.

It wasn't for any kind of 'justice,' but simply to maintain the interests of the chaebols.

Some organizations openly and legitimately recruit superhumans, while those that use underhanded methods to sabotage superhumans naturally "block" their path.

Of course, if they encounter an uncooperative superhuman, the big tycoons don't mind making him disappear from the world.

Over time, the earliest superhumans merged with the conglomerates.

"Give me some face—young lady, please leave."

Hiss hiss hiss

The one who answered the Ten-Headed Serpent King was a venomous snake that swam towards him, its upper body raised and its tongue flicking.

"Ah,"

To this, Toja Oni-Ohma simply smiled faintly.

Just what he wanted!

This mission was as boring to him as going to the convenience store to buy a can of beer.

Now that he has encountered an unexpected 'superhuman,' it's a good opportunity for him to stretch his muscles.

"superior--"

Following the teachings of the Great Yin-Yang Master, Jiu Kong Yao Ai, who had come out for 'real combat', waved her hand, and a large number of venomous snakes she had summoned shot out and pounced on the Ten-Snake Demon King from all directions.

These venomous snakes not only have two pale white fangs, but their strength is also comparable to that of a 'dog' level superhuman; if they swarm together, even a wolf level would easily be defeated on the spot.

"Speaking of which, my name also contains the character for 'snake'."

Faced with attacks from all directions, Totsuka Oni-ohuma simply raised his hands and curled his fingers.

Two Tiger Streams, Manipulation Stream, Water and Sky Type, Water and Rain
slap slap slap slap slap slap,

With a flick of his fingers, the surging swarm of snakes was sent flying backward, as if struck in the mouth by an invisible bullet.

While their scales could indeed stop bullets, their fragile mouths were clearly not strong enough, and they burst out in clouds of blood mist.

?

One after another, venomous snakes were thrown out, writhing and struggling on the ground in their death throes, which startled Jiu Kongyao.

"What kind of extraordinary ability is this?"

"Not a supernatural ability,"

As he walked towards her at a leisurely pace, Totsuka Oni-ohma casually explained.

"It's just a cheap trick like an 'air bomb,' and its power isn't that great. But..."

If it hits a vulnerable spot, it can still be fatal!
As the young man flicked his wrists repeatedly, the mouths of the venomous snakes that were lunging at him exploded one after another, sending them flying backward, unable to get close!

"Shut up!"

The masked little girl let out a delicate shout.
She wasn't talking about Totsuka Oni-ohuma, but giving orders to her own snakes!

The remaining snakes immediately shut their mouths. Since their mouths would be a weakness, then:

"Use Entangling Attack!"

Under Jiu Kong Yao Ai's command, these mouthless venomous snakes slithered on the ground, leaped through the air, and even fell from the ceiling.

Once entangled by them, they can strangle the man to death by constricting their bodies.

Faced with this move, Totsuka Kiohuma simply reached out and grabbed.

Snap! X2
With a swift movement, before the two venomous snakes could react, the hand had already swept from their heads to their tails.

His fingers tightened suddenly! With a nimble flick of his wrist:
Wuwuwu——

The two venomous snakes in the hands of the Ten-Snake Demon King Ma transformed into two 'snake whips'.

The snake whip was whipped around the young man, leaving a trail of afterimages, resembling both whip techniques and nunchucks, flying around him and knocking away every venomous snake that lunged at him.

Each of the venomous snakes that was knocked away struggled and writhed on the ground, but could only twitch helplessly!
Because their 'three inches' have all been severely damaged.

Many people know the saying "strike the snake at its seven-inch spot," which refers to striking the snake about seven inches from its head, approximately twenty centimeters away.

Because the snake's heart is located in this position, a severe blow to this spot will quickly kill it; and the 'three inches' is the most vulnerable and easily broken part of the snake's spine. Once broken, it is equivalent to high-level paraplegia.

It's naturally not easy for an ordinary person to accurately strike a snake's vital spot.

But for the Ten-Headed Serpent King, who wields two 'snake whips', it's as simple as eating and drinking.

What kind of ability is this?
Do not!
Even if Jiu Kong Yao Ai were some kind of 'extraordinary newcomer,' she could tell that her opponent was simply a martial artist.

"Okay, how about this move!"

As the young man drew closer, the little girl grew anxious.

As she raised her hand and pointed, the remaining venomous snakes suddenly swelled up and transformed into giant pythons!

With that physique, I doubt your 'martial arts' could possibly have any way to deal with it.
"A large monster?"

The giant pythons surged forward, whipping their tails and twisting their bodies as they slithered, causing the entire parking lot to tremble repeatedly.

However, a hint of disappointment flashed in Totsuka Kiohuma's eyes.

I've tasted enough from Mount Koya.
"Take it away,"

With arms outstretched, he lunged forward.

Two Tigers Flow - Water and Sky Type - Binding of Chaotic Snakes
With arms embracing a sphere, a tremendous vortex force is generated as the arms rotate.

The air itself was distorted and tilted, seemingly enveloped by a giant, ever-changing, invisible sphere of water.

Faced with his swirling, surging power, the charging python deviated from its original trajectory and, as the young man pulled, coiled, and intertwined it with his own, it became tightly entangled with him! It comically twisted into a giant 'snake ball'.

The more these giant pythons struggled, the tighter the knots they formed became, and for a time they were unable to break free.

this,

This one
Where is the human being?

On her first outing, she encountered the champion of the "Kengan Association," and even Jiu Kong Yao Ai's golden vertical pupils were stunned.

The opponent didn't use any 'supernatural abilities'; he simply used his fists and feet to break through all her various 'snake-controlling' abilities. It was simply miraculous!

"Go to sleep, young lady."

While she was still in a daze, the figure of Totsuka Oni-ohma flashed;
He appeared in front of the little girl with a 'teleportation'-like movement.

"I will hold your elders accountable for your actions—?"

Snapped,

The hand struck the little girl's neck.
The Ten-Headed Serpent King, who was about to stun his opponent, was slightly taken aback.

Not only did I feel the scales on my hands, but I also felt the little girl's neck suddenly twist.

brush,

Watching the little girl fly away, her neck bent at an odd angle, Toja Onima couldn't help but chuckle.

"I thought your ability was to control snakes,"

It now appears that this mysterious little girl possessed characteristics of a snake.

"So, what else do you have?"

"You old geezer, don't underestimate me!!"

The enraged little girl suddenly swelled up and transformed into a gigantic white snake: the entire underground parking garage was not enough for her to raise her body!

"I'll bite you to death—"

The enormous white serpent, like a train, roared towards Tokita Ohma!

"That's interesting."

Faced with this situation, the young man smiled.

I never expected such a simple task to yield such an unexpected reward. "I take back what I said earlier, this is just too boring."

A dozen seconds later, the Ten-Headed Serpent King arrived at the serpent's tail and couldn't help but rub his forehead when he saw the empty hole.

What are you doing?
I had just gotten interested when the other person ran away?
but,

"It was a wise move."

This little girl clearly doesn't have much combat experience.

Facing this 'Kunggan Club champion', finding an opportunity to escape is the best strategy.

"Go back and have Nogi and Yamashita investigate when another snake-type 'original transcendent' appeared in Tokyo."

After saying that, the young man turned and walked into the underground parking lot.

"Cough cough,"

Barely managing to stand up with the support of the pillar, Xiao tried his best to assume a fighting stance as he faced the approaching young man.

"Kid, I'm not one of them."

Without his notice, a finger passed through the mourning posture and landed on his forehead.

"Take a nap first."

点，
His fingers landed on Xiao's brow.

The shockwave instantly engulfed the boy's consciousness in darkness.

Seyana Ward, Koga Prefecture.

"Lord Busujima, we Koga have no grudge against you, why?"

In the courtyard, a group of ninjas dressed in black held various ninja tools, including ancient short swords, kunai, and shuriken, as well as modern long guns and cannons, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Ahead of these ninjas, a Chunin wielding a heavy short sword questioned his opponent sharply. The term "Chunin" is a ranking system within the Koga clan: "Genin" are rank members who possess extraordinary powers, "Genin" are rank members, "Chunin" are rank members who command operations, and as for Jonin...?

Not yet.
However, the head of the family, Takeo Koga, has reached the Wolf level and his strength continues to improve.

As a revitalized ninja clan, the Koga ninjas did not choose to establish their power in their "hometown," Koga City, Shiga Prefecture, but instead re-established themselves in Tokyo.

This area is, after all, shrouded in the 'divine tree,' and it's also where the island nation's superhumans, tycoons, and powerful figures gather. These ninjas, who are essentially 'mercenaries,' naturally need to maintain constant contact with these powerful individuals.

Mount Iido in Koka City, the former home of the Koka ninja.

It was also because it was one of the three major cultivation centers of the Tiantai Sect that it had many wandering cultivators who had acquired a lot of information from various places, which enabled it to develop.

"Before coming here, I didn't know any of you, but—"

Raising the wooden sword in his hand, Busujima revealed a bloodthirsty smile.

"Can't we fight if there's no enmity?"

Aren't ninjas the typical example?
"Set up the formation!"

brush,

Upon hearing the Chunin's order, the Genin immediately gathered around him.

Meanwhile, the 'ninjas' armed with various technological weapons quickly dispersed.

Da da da da,

These ordinary people, who could only be considered 'ninjas', pulled the trigger, and bullets poured out like water, forming barrages, as they launched a test.

Ding ding ding ding,

As a superhuman who can dodge bullets by 'breast jiggle',
Busujima simply swung his knife in place and easily blocked all the bullets.

huh, huh, huh-

For those armor-piercing rounds fired from a kneeling position, it was impossible to withstand them head-on; the girl dodged forward, leaving the explosions behind.

Before these 'eyes of God', ordinary people appear to be moving in slow motion, dozens of times slower.

It's not challenging at all.

"on!"

Seeing the enemy charging towards him, the Chunin who was directing the scene gritted his teeth, brandished his short sword, and charged forward.

Flying Swallow Slash!
The short sword in his hand suddenly accelerated, transforming into a curtain of light that hurtled towards Poison Island.

Although this Chunin was only rated as a "dog-level" ninja, as a core member of the Koga clan, he had also received the "breathing technique" taught by the clan head, making him significantly stronger than an ordinary dog-level ninja.

That's interesting.
He held his wooden sword horizontally, blocking the opponent's short knife.

But not many
Click!

When the wooden sword and the metal short sword clashed, the metal short sword of the 'Chunin' suddenly exploded?

The 'wooden sword' in Busujima's hand was a trophy seized from the Self-Defense Forces, made from the material of 'Hakuzosu,' far exceeding the hardness of ordinary steel; but that's not all—

Thump,

As the short knife exploded, a cloud of smoke suddenly billowed out.

The Koga Chunin had already taken the opportunity to escape, his weapon containing a large amount of poisonous smoke: this is why his short sword is thicker than a regular ninja sword.

As a superhuman, a weapon weighing dozens of kilograms is no different from a goose feather, but this move can catch the opponent off guard.
"Big breakthrough!"

Just as the toxic smoke enveloped the area, a gust of wind immediately blew over.

whoosh whoosh,

A gust of wind, carrying poisonous smoke, rushed towards the Koga ninjas, instantly engulfing them.

"Baka."

Covered in his own poisonous fumes, the Koga 'Chunin' cursed through gritted teeth.

Their black veils had a filtering function, and with the antidote they had taken beforehand, they wouldn't be taken down by their own weapons.

But the scene before them was indeed as the intelligence had described:
"We Koga ninjas are skilled in using ninja tools; we haven't given you the ability to copy them."

Knowing that the other party had copied a large number of Yin-Yang techniques from the "Isoya siblings," the Koga ninjas had no desire to fight this woman: why should they, as ninjas, do a deal that offered no benefit whatsoever?
However, just because the Koga ninjas didn't want to fight doesn't mean that Busujima didn't want to fight either.

Where is your master?

"Let him come out and fight me."

"The head of the household is not here."

In response to the 'Chunin' answer, Busujima brandished his wooden sword.

"Then I'll kill until he shows up!"

A few minutes later,

"You...you monster!"

With a long gash torn across his chest and blood dripping continuously, the 'Chunin' knelt on one knee.

The once quaint and elegant Koga outpost was now a scene of devastation, riddled with craters from explosions and ninjas lying in pools of blood.

"What a pity, it seems your patriarch is determined not to show up."

These 'dog-level' opponents were simply not enough to satisfy Busujima's bloodlust. Holding a wooden sword, she approached the last 'Chunin' step by step, raising it slightly.

"When you reach the underworld, remember to wait for me—"

Pfft

The wooden sword fell, but Poison Island suddenly flew backward!

Following her retreating trajectory, seven scratches shot out from the ground, as if invisible 'sword energy' was relentlessly pursuing her.

However, this 'sword energy' always has its limits, and it suddenly stopped after Poison Island retreated ten meters.

The scratches on the ground also stopped at the same time.

“Fun tips,”

With a flick of his wrist, Busujima looked with great interest at the source of the seven scratches:
It was the Chunin who had previously been 'seriously injured' and kneeling, before swinging his sword.

"You are the head of the Koga family, right?"
