I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 257 True Nature

"Long time no see, Xiao."

Behind the warehouse stood Busujima, dressed as a high school girl with long hair reaching her waist.

What's that on your head?

Busujima pointed to his face, his doubts obvious.

"Ahem, it's nothing."

This question put Xiao in a rather awkward position.

At first, he was only bandaged because of an injury;

After spending time in the 'underworld' and fighting on the summit of Mount Fuji, he dared not show his face again.

So he simply kept his face covered with a bandage, so even his boss and colleagues didn't know his true identity. Unfortunately, he had already revealed his true identity as soon as he opened his mouth.

Although it seemed that even without him speaking first, the senior student opposite him already knew his true identity.

"Personality, style, and stuff like that,"

Seeing his classmate awkwardly tilting his head, Busujima quickly realized the reason.

Unlike the 'unburdened' Poison Island, Takashi still has parents and a childhood sweetheart, and his identity needs to be kept secret.

"Xiao, could you give me the knife you're holding?"

Upon hearing what Busujima said,

His eyes, hidden beneath the mourning bandages, suddenly cleared.

"Senior, what are you planning to do with this knife?"

"Xiao, you're asking a question you already know the answer to."

With his hand resting on the hilt of the wooden sword at his waist, Busujima's smile gradually turned sinister.

"You should already know what kind of person I am. Blood and screams are more delicious to me than any food."

Therefore, it goes without saying what she would do with this 'decapitation sword': unleash a massacre, leave a trail of blood and carnage!
"I'm sorry, I can't give it to you."

After saying that, Xiao brandished his decapitation sword and assumed a fighting stance.

"As a friend, I hope you can turn back; as a junior, I hope you can correct your mistakes, after all:"

Xiao once admired the person before him!

He was gentle, had unparalleled swordsmanship, and achieved top grades. He was simply the perfect senior.

"I'm so sorry to have shattered your illusions."

Busujima, on the other side, slightly lowered his body, assuming a stance as if drawing his sword.

"Unfortunately, my true identity is that of a serial killer; what you admire is merely my past disguise—"

Lightning crackled above the tall high school girl's hands. Only after the lightning spread to the wooden sword did she slowly draw the sword from her grasp.

"Magnetic Iaijutsu Draw Slash!"

The moment the knife moved, the speed instantly changed from extremely slow to extremely fast!

This strike seemed to transcend the boundaries of time and space, vanishing in an instant and reappearing right in front of Xiao. Meanwhile, a semi-circular slash mixed with lightning had already arrived with a thunderous roar long before that.

Tear————

The warehouses on both sides were first sliced open out of thin air with a metallic scraping sound, and then:

boom! !

A loud bang suddenly erupted at the dock.

? !
Countless people instinctively turned their heads.
What you see are the upper parts of two warehouses that have flown into the sky, twisting and deforming in mid-air, with metal fragments flying everywhere.

The lower halves of the two warehouses that had been cut open, with their crimson cross-sections, silently testified to the attack that had just occurred.

"Is it extraordinary?"

"Run quickly——"

For ordinary people, the key to survival in the event of an extraordinary battle is to get away as soon as possible.

Anyone who dares to stand still and watch, or even get close to watch, is playing with their own life.

Superhuman killing doesn't care about 'human rights'!
It would be a waste of life if you died.

Whether it's a worker, a cargo owner, or a manager
They all ran wildly in the opposite direction of the warehouse without hesitation, and none of them were slow.

It is evident that he exercises regularly, and the changes brought about by the extraordinary era have many positive implications.

"Hey?"

In the middle of the two warehouses that were caught in the crossfire, Tokushima let out a soft surprise.

"very nice,"

crackling and popping

The wooden sword, crackling with lightning, slashed towards Xiao, but was blocked by the door-sized 'decapitation sword' in his hand.

It was, after all, a superb sword personally crafted by the 'Daodaozhai', how could it be cut so easily? In fact, there wasn't even a single scratch on the blade.

"Is this the extraordinary sword?"

With a downward press of the wooden sword in his hand, Busujima prepared to disarm him.

But in the next instant, the violent force surged back; Xiao, carrying the Executioner's Blade, was like a policeman holding a riot shield, about to overturn Dokdo!
?

crackling

With a flash of lightning, Poison Island retreated.

There is a proverb that says, "A scholar should be viewed with new eyes after three days of separation."

Dodging Taka's charge, Busujima's wooden sword trembled, infused with lightning, turning into a blazing white expanse with leaping lightning bolts.

This was something she developed herself, combining a copied 'lightning spell formula' with swordsmanship:

Chidori Blade!
"It seems we all need to get to know each other again."

I will defeat you!

With a swing of his executioner's blade, Xiao made up his mind.

"Senior Busujima, I don't know why you chose this path."

"Maybe I'm being a bit willful, but I'm going to stop you, at all costs!"

Having said that, Xiao stopped wasting words, grabbed his executioner's blade, and charged forward, a crimson light emanating from the blade.
"Ghost attack!"

With a swing of his broadsword, a crimson flying slash shot towards Poison Island.

"Raikiri!!"

Faced with this flying slash, Busujima did not dodge, but instead swung his sword down; a standard 'Wind-Facing Slash' drew out a white lightning flash, actually attacking the opponent's attack.

Clang————

The crimson and blazing white light collided violently, and the sound soared into the sky!

Both were energy strikes, one a blood condensed from spiritual energy, the other a lightning bolt created by the extraordinary; the two were like two huge, high-speed rotating saw blades, locked together, rubbing, surging, and annihilating each other.
But what Takashi swung was, after all, a flying slash from a 'rootless tree'. After a brief stalemate, it was torn apart by the lightning from Poison Island!

Pfft, X2
Two crimson slashes flew out from beside Busujima, followed closely by Takashi wielding a large sword.

Good thing you came.

Facing Xiaozhong's broadsword, Busujima showed no weakness and charged forward with his own sword.

swipe, swipe, swipe

Xiao's decapitation sword was an astonishing 1.8 meters long, and when he swung it, a radius of five meters was within his attack range; the wind from the sword brought with it a raging crimson light, and wherever it went, even without making contact, huge cuts were torn open in the surrounding warehouses and ground.

Busujima moved with incredible speed, advancing and retreating at will; his wooden sword was crackling with lightning, shooting out like streaks of cold light.

The battle between the two was like a hammer and a feather. Before the hammer arrived, the wind came first, and the feather was already dancing in the wind. No matter how the hammer roared and swept across the battlefield, it could not harm the feather in the slightest.

Even though the feathers' attacks were as swift as lightning, coming and going without a trace, they couldn't harm Iron Hammer: the massive size of the decapitation sword could easily protect Xiao's entire body.

Normally, wielding such a heavy sword for too long would leave one breathless; but Xiao showed no signs of fatigue whatsoever.

This knife has killed countless aquatic products.
If it were anyone else, they would probably have already earned a notorious reputation as a "man-killer"!

Only those backed by powerful conglomerates can be so 'luxurious' as to slaughter millions of animals to feed the knife and strengthen its wielder.

Ok?
In the midst of the fierce battle, Busujima frowned.

A faint red mist had somehow begun to spread around them.
A chilling stench, seemingly a metallic or bloody smell, spread throughout the area, growing ever more pronounced and intense.

This is a scent that, just by smelling it, feels like your nasal cavity is being pierced; when inhaled into your chest, it feels like your lungs are being torn apart; even your skin feels as if it's being stabbed by countless sharp blades, with a chill running through your entire body.

Clang,

After another clash, Busujima retreated once more.

"These fogs are..."

"This is the blood mist created by my 'Decapitation Blade'," Xiao, wielding the blade, explained instead of immediately giving chase.
“Inhaling the blood mist will cause continuous interference unless I withdraw the blood mist.”

"Sorry, I have the advantage of having a famous sword."

The more Xiaoyue developed and used this extraordinary sword crafted by the 'Totosai', the more he felt its infinite wonders.

"No need to apologize,"

However, the tall girl opposite her showed no sign of annoyance.

"Because I'm going to use the 'Eye of God' too."

Next second,
A spinning magatama was reflected in Xiao's pupils.

'What am I? '

In a black and white world, Xiao raises his hand to look at his own body, which appears as black and white as a film reel.

'This is my illusion space.'

The same black-and-white image of Busujima appeared on the other side.

Illusion·Shiranui

This Uchiha clan's genjutsu can pull others into a genjutsu space and then burn them with flames: of course, all of this is fake.

Compared to the 24-hour continuous 'Tsukuyomi', 'Shiranui', which lasts only a dozen seconds, is like a firefly compared to the bright moon.

However, in one-on-one situations, it is undoubtedly a god-tier hard crowd control skill!

Never face an Uchiha one-on-one.
Unfortunately, this world

There is no such experience summarized from countless corpses.

'Xiao, give me the knife, then go back and become a righteous policeman.'

'no way!'

In the black-and-white illusionary world, Xiao refused outright.

"To watch a friend fall into evil and remain indifferent is not righteous; to witness people killing indiscriminately and turn a blind eye is not righteous."

After saying that, the boy clenched his fists and raised his hands; even in an illusionary space, he would fight.

'And, I want to beat you just once!'

"Is that so?"

In a flash, Xiao found himself holding a decapitation sword, standing on a wrecked dock.

"Tch, so easily fell for the illusion."

A hand patted Xiao's shoulder.
Standing atop his broadsword, Jiu Kong Yao Ai looked utterly disgusted.

"Shura, why isn't the 'dispelling illusion' technique I had you practice working?"

".Feel sorry,"

Xiao was speechless in the face of the little girl standing on his knife.

That's right, his boss once taught him how to 'dispel illusions': it's very simple, just actively disrupt the flow of spiritual energy within the body.

Unfortunately, he didn't have a chance to use it before he fell into Poison Island's illusion and couldn't extricate himself.

"Little sister,"

Looking at the little girl standing on the broadsword with one hand on Xiao's shoulder, Busujima frowned slightly.

Another superhuman. There are just too many of them, even in the Tokyo area.
"This is a matter between adults, you..."

Boom~~
The little girl who jumped off Xiao's knife rapidly expanded, transforming in the blink of an eye into a giant python hundreds of meters long, coiling around the dock.

"Who are you calling little sister, hmm?"

"A mere God's Eye!"

With its jaws wide open, the giant python lunged at the poisonous island.

His lunging body suddenly stopped, and the golden vertical pupils in his eye sockets went blank.

At the same time, Poison Island, with its magatama spinning in its eye socket, leaped up and unleashed a horizontal slash—

Pfft

"Ouch~~"

Long cuts were slashed across his neck, and large amounts of blood splattered everywhere.

After experiencing the power of the "Eye of God" firsthand, Jiu Kong Yao Ai realized that she had misunderstood Xiao earlier.

Upon hearing that the 'Susanoo bloodline's' divine eye could control others with illusions, Jiu Kong Yao Ai immediately consulted the 'Great Onmyoji' in her family and obtained 'Illusion Release', thinking that she would no longer be afraid.

As a result, once the fight broke out, there was no time to dispel it.

"Shura, come help!"

Xiao, wielding a decapitation sword, charged forward, forcing his opponent back;
While healing the wound on her neck, Jiu Kongyao quickly came up with a solution.

"Shura, let's join forces."

"Whoever is under the illusion, the other must immediately break it!"

"it is good!"

It must be said that Jiu Kong Yao Ai's "accidental" method was precisely the way to deal with the Sharingan.

When facing the Sharingan, maintain a team of two or more.

One person gets infected, the other is cured.

In this way, the Sharingan's most troublesome 'genjutsu' is suppressed.

Rumble rumble rumble~~~!!
The enormous python charged straight ahead, its tail sweeping across, abandoning all finesse and relentlessly pounding and striking Tokishima with the most brute force.

Meanwhile, Takashi dashed across the snake's body, unleashing a flying slash with his sword as he relentlessly pursued Poison Island!

trouble,

Faced with the combined onslaught of the two,
Poison Island can only rely on its speed to move around and wait for an opportunity to attack.

If separated, whether it's a python with size and strength but no skill, or Xiao-kun with considerable skill but lacking ruthlessness, she is confident she can defeat them both—without even needing to resort to underhanded 'illusion magic'.

However, the two worked together so well that they couldn't defeat each other for the time being.

Buzzing

The sound of helicopters could be heard in the distance.

This made Busujima, who had originally planned to meet his 'old friend' and take the extraordinary sword, feel a bit annoyed.

That's all for today.

No longer wanting to fight, Busujima feigned an attack and deliberately created distance; in a flash of light, he sped to the warehouse on the nearby dock.

"I was careless; I thought I could easily handle it."

"and many more!"

As Xiao stretched out his arm and raised his hand, the tall high school girl turned around without stopping.

"farewell."

She ran to snatch the knife, partly to find a weapon for herself, and partly to extricate 'Xiao' from this extraordinary turmoil.

It now seems that Xiao's strength is in no way inferior to that of a veteran wolf-level fighter, and he doesn't need her kindness at all.
"Oh, is this a kind gesture?"

The girl leaped down from the warehouse and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"You clearly think Xiao is too self-centered, but isn't your own behavior just as arrogant?"

In that case, stay away from him.

crackling

With a flash of lightning, Poison Island's figure leaped through the building several times and disappeared in a flash.

"Tsk, I got stabbed for nothing."

Reverting to her little girl form, Jiu Kongyao rubbed her neck.

"Who sent that assassin?"

"No"

Xiao hesitated, realizing that the other party wasn't after Jiu Kong Yao Ai, but after him!
"Special police officers handling a case, two of you—"

Turning to look at Fuji Seiko who jumped out of the helicopter, Kyuuya waved to her.

"Follow me, Shura."
