I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 273 Apprentice Teaching
"Danger level, God?"

You put down her phone and tapped her finger on the table.

"Given the current situation in the island nation, it's not an exaggeration."

If it weren't for Yu's existence as an exception in the "one-for-one" exchange, the island nation would have already been flattened by Abe no Seimei, and would have watched helplessly as the Yamata no Orochi destroyed the country in despair.

Unless the 'Three Noble Ones' intervene, who can defeat the strongest Onmyoji and the most powerful demon?

Of course, this is just how others see it as 'fact'.

"Your tea, You."

Nao came out of the kitchen carrying tea and placed a cup in front of each person.

"master,"

Seeing Yu sitting leisurely on the sofa, picking up a teacup to drink water, looking like a 'retired senior', Yura sitting opposite couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Aren't you worried?"

"What are you worried about? Abe no Seimei will cultivate a large number of demons and then attack us?"

As she spoke, You spread her hands, looking rather helpless.

"I've already tried my best,"

"I conducted numerous experiments day and night in order to study the 'Dead Demon Sealing Technique'."

“I can attest to that.”

Qiong Mei, who was sitting next to her, put down her phone. She was also closely watching the movements of the Great Onmyoji: If that guy calls again, wouldn't we have to go up and fight him again?

waste!

All the superhumans in the entire island nation are useless!

Qiong Mei felt no guilt whatsoever about insulting herself and everyone else in the living room.

"Yu is really working hard, even while sleeping."

???

As Yura, still half-asleep, stared at him with wide, piercing eyes, Qiongmei continued speaking expressionlessly.

"They are all diligently cultivating themselves."

"That's it,"

Although she really wanted to ask Sister Qiong how she knew that Master was working hard even while he was sleeping, after thinking about it, Yura decided not to dwell on the question.

"Is there anyone who can fight Abe no Seimei except for my master's 'Dead Demon Sealing Technique'?"

The problematic 'Dead Demon Sealing Technique' is a true technique of mutual destruction.
If Abe no Seimei were to attack again—

"Of course,"

Yu raised her hand and pointed to Yura on the opposite side.

"Yura, you can defeat Abe no Seimei."

"Ah I?!"

The middle school girl pointed to herself, looking quite astonished, as if to say, 'You want me to kill Tang Sanzang and his disciples?'

Journey to the West: The Tale of the Monkey King is also a national-level read in the island nation, just like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

"Let me explain,"

Yu put down her teacup and, as Sora, Nao, and Yura listened attentively, opened her palm.

On his five fingers, flames, water, earth, lightning, and air currents lit up respectively.
"Wind, Thunder, Earth, Water, Fire."

"As you may have noticed, most of the techniques involve manipulating the power of the five elements."

Nod, X3
All three girls noticed this.

Leaving aside Yuluo's Water Fish, Wind Wolf, and Thunder Deer, among the extraordinary beings, the most common are those who use the power of five elements.

"The Five Elements Techniques are the true path of cultivation; the others can only be considered side paths."

In the world of Naruto, the Five Elements Release Techniques are the mainstream compared to other ninjutsu.

Moreover, it is the only way for 'ordinary people' to break through the bloodstain restriction.

"A more advanced application of the Five Elements techniques is attribute fusion."

"For example, Abe no Seimei,"

"During the battle, he used a melting technique combining earth and fire to break Yura's ice technique."

After saying that, You took a sip of tea to moisten her throat.

"And the black metal tentacles he used to bind 'Takemikazuchi' were 'magnetic magic' formed by wind and earth."

"Even Hakuzosu's 'Sacred Wood' is essentially a 'Wood Technique' formed by the fusion of earth and water."

"And that 'Sea Roar' from the Sea Kingdom is a 'typhoon technique' formed by wind and thunder."

As the three beautiful girls listened attentively, Yu pointed to Yura across from her.

"That's why I said you could fight Abe no Seimei."

At this point, Qiong Mei suddenly realized what was going on.

"Yura's shikigami fusion can also achieve the same 'attribute fusion'!"

"That's right,"

Snapped his fingers.
You had a look on your face that said, "This kid is teachable."

"Yura has successfully combined wind and water to create 'ice magic.' If she can master the fusion of other attributes, she will be able to use various advanced techniques like Abe no Seimei."

Ordinary ninjas and ordinary superhumans can only use techniques of one element; while true masters can use techniques that combine two elements.

In the world of Naruto, this is called 'Kekkei Genkai'!
Not the kind of weakling who gains special powers through bloodline inheritance;

Instead, they developed their own sources of bloodline limits: such as the Third Kazekage and the First Hokage.

Even Kakashi, who lost his Sharingan, later developed his own unique 'Purple Lightning'. If he marries and has children, his descendants will also possess this bloodline limit.

Although it is very difficult, it is indeed the only way for ordinary people to "turn the tables": the Third Kazekage, the Fourth Kazekage, and Gaara's disciples are not related by blood. Instead, they learned the "Magnetic Release" bloodline limit by relying on the experience of their predecessors and their own talent and hard work.

On the contrary, Gaara's 'Magnet Release' inherited from the Fourth Kazekage is negligible.

"The fusion of two attributes is the mark of a strong person?"

Nao adjusted her round-framed glasses and offered her analysis:
"Under normal circumstances, an Onmyoji must first master two attributes and then fuse them together."

"And Yura's 'Shikigami Fusion' technique skipped the previous steps and started directly from attribute fusion?"

Because the shikigami cultivated already possess various attributes; this saves a lot of time while ensuring that all five elements are present.

"clever,"

Yu nodded again.
This is also why he taught Yura the 'Oni-Garra Technique'.

This technique was the result of Hiruko's lifelong pursuit, an old classmate of Orochimaru's trio: his original intention was to help him, an 'ordinary person,' break through the gap between himself and geniuses.

Once mastered, one can become a Kage-level powerhouse capable of switching between various 'bloodline limits' at will.

“Abe no Seimei’s Five Elements theory is indeed the right path.”

"But my family's Yin-Yang skills are equally impressive."

"The fused shikigami can also freely change the five elements, and the simulated gods possess the power of all things in the universe."

Since we're already on this topic, let me briefly mention the Ashiya family's secret techniques.

Although Yu's 'super god fake painting' allowed Sai to travel through time;
It's confusing to look at.
"Oh, okay, I'll work even harder!"

After hearing Yu's explanation, Yura stood up, the girl clenching her fist with passion.

"Master, from now on, I will protect everyone!"

"Go for it! I believe in you!"

Nogi Group,

In a building where construction has been suspended,
Brush, brush, brush

The massive, door-like decapitation blade slashed horizontally and vertically, reflecting large swaths of sunlight and illuminating the battlefield in a dazzling display.

At the same time, the whirlwind of the massive longsword swept up dust and cement from the ground, pressing heavily towards the enemy; its ferocity and sharpness made even onlookers a dozen meters away tremble with fear.

The boy wielding the guillotine was none other than Takashi. Whether in footwork or swordsmanship, or in strength and agility, he perfectly embodied the essence of the 'Keishi-ryu' kendo style, truly deserving of his third-place finish in the Japanese high school kendo competition.

His opponent was a young man named Toja Oni-ohma.

Facing the sharp, scathing blade, Wang Ma moved erratically, advancing and retreating, his movements unpredictable. He did not create distance, but remained within the range of Xiao's blade, allowing the long sword to repeatedly slash across his cheeks, waist, and abdomen, yet failing to harm him in the slightest.

The scene looked like a 'performance' performed by two people working together.

However, Xiao knew very well that he had not held back at all.

Aside from the inherent abilities of the decapitation sword, such as 'blood mist' and 'ghost attack', he has used every trick in the book!

After hacking away for a long time, they couldn't even touch the hem of the Ten-Snake Demon King's horse's robe.

It's more of a dance than a martial art.

"Whoo~~~"

Xiao, who was covered in sweat, stopped voluntarily and shook his head.

"I have lost, Mr. Tojaki."

After saying that, he plunged the executioner's blade into the ground, and the boy knelt down and kowtowed earnestly.

"master."

He was willing to accept defeat, especially since the other party was his savior. He called him "Master" with complete respect.

"Congratulations, Ouma."

Among the onlookers, a middle-aged man with slicked-back hair, wearing a vest and suit, walked over.

"We've taken on such an outstanding apprentice."

This middle-aged man is the president of the Nogi Zaibatsu.

"Xiao's talent is indeed very good, and he will definitely have no problem inheriting my 'Two Tigers Style'."

The young man named 'Ten-Headed Demon King Horse' was also in a good mood. For martial artists, strong opponents and excellent disciples are always irresistible.

One represents that one's skills can be honed; the other represents that one's skills can be passed down.

"Moreover, the characteristics of the decapitation sword are also very suitable for learning 'God of Decapitation'."

The decapitation sword absorbs blood to strengthen its user.

Ohma's "Kami" is a technique that uses spiritual power to accelerate the heartbeat and increase blood flow, thereby increasing attack power, destructive power, and speed.

Perfect for practicing filial piety.
In addition to the two encounters,
It's fair to say that this boy was destined to be with him!

"Master, were you able to dodge all my attacks just now simply due to a difference in experience?"

Now that he had become the other party's disciple, Xiao couldn't help but ask this question.

Having practiced swordsmanship since childhood, he naturally knew the technique of 'predicting' the opponent's movements and entering a defensive or evasive position before the opponent attacked.

This skill is something that most experts in karate, kendo, or other fighting styles will have mastered to some extent.

Just like those top boxers who perfectly dodge their opponent's punches by using the 'arm swinging' technique of swinging left and right.

but--

All attacks were dodged so cleanly and efficiently.
Even filial piety was deeply affected.

"Haha, Brother Shura, this is not a simple 'pre-read'."

As the boss of Toja Onima, President Nogi is not a pampered capitalist. He not only drank the extraordinary potion, but also has a broad vision and knowledge.

"This is a technique called 'First Before First'."

"Through special means, we can discern the opponent's intentions, strike at the same time as the opponent, and arrive before the opponent."

Simply put, it's not about reading ahead, but more like 'foresight'.

? !
"He has this kind of ability?"

While Taka was still in shock, Toja Oni-ohma patted him on the shoulder.

"It's not as amazing as you think."

"This ability is the 'sixth sense' generated by the five senses when they are trained to the extreme and driven by spiritual power."

"It is indeed possible to predict the opponent's next move, but:"

Knowing about many attacks doesn't mean you can avoid them.

"If the opponent is too fast, or has a very wide attack range—"

"For example, an Onmyoji like Yu-kun; his spells can cover hundreds or thousands of meters. Even if you 'predict' it, so what?"

If a spell with an extremely large area of ​​effect is thrown at you, you won't be able to escape and will only be able to wait to die.

"But in close combat, the advantage is enormous."

As a master of swordsmanship, Takashi naturally understood the power of this ability.

If you can anticipate your opponent's movements, whether it's dodging or attacking, you can respond with ease; it's safe to say that two people of equal strength will immediately find themselves in a crushing situation!
Just like before, in terms of physical fitness, Totsuka Kiohuma without activating 'Kami's Gage' is actually about the same as Takashi.

But relying on 'first of first' is completely toying with him!

"Do you want to learn?"

As Xiao nodded unconsciously, the Ten-Headed Demon King Ma smiled calmly.

"I teach you."

Kyoto Prefecture, north of Takashima City.

Although it's under the name of 'Kyoto Prefecture', Kyoto City is located in the south, while Takashima City, nestled in the mountains to the north, is a completely 'rural' area in comparison. Once you leave the city, the villages and towns surrounded by mountains are even more rural.

It's the kind of thing that appears as just a few small dots on a map.

Not all masters and disciples can get along harmoniously, for example, someone:

"An·be·qing·ming!"

"I'm going to kill you!"

The little girl, walking through the woods, gritted her teeth as she spoke each word slowly and deliberately, as if she wanted to chew the name into pieces and then swallow it.

The little girl was wearing an expensive dress, with classic long black hair cascading down her back; although she was very young, you could tell from her features that she would definitely grow up to be a beauty.

But now, her small face only showed anger and hatred.

Without a doubt, it was Kusora Yua who was 'tricked' into becoming the public enemy of the island nation by a certain great Onmyoji!

"Fifty billion US dollars, what a huge sum!"

Even the man known as 'Bin Laden' only had a bounty of $5000 million.

When it came to her, the price increased a hundredfold, which shows how eager the island nation's government was to capture her.

just,

With Jiu Kong Yao Ai's power, she transformed into a snake and burrowed into the mountains.

All that high technology is just a pipe dream.

The reason she traveled all the way from Tokyo to Kyoto was certainly not to admire the scenery of the ancient city, nor to seek revenge against Abe no Seimei.

With her current strength, the only reason she's still alive is because she's like an ant in the eyes of that great Onmyoji!
During her escape, Jiu Kongyao borrowed several cell phones from passersby.

I am also very clear about what has happened during this period.

"We have no choice but to take a gamble."

The most dangerous place is the safest place.

She came to Kyoto Prefecture partly because she was betting on the great Onmyoji's "blind spot," and partly because there was a piece of "Orochi's remains" there.

If he consumes more 'Yamata no Kishiro's Remains', with this explosive increase in strength, he might not be unable to fight Abe no Seimei!
Of course, it is more likely that everything she did was part of that great yin-yang master's plan.

But what does it matter? She has nothing now anyway—

Then let's bet everything!
"Ok?"

The little girl's ears twitched slightly as she darted through the woods.

Her figure darted swiftly through the trees in an 'S' shape. The little girl reached the cliff, hid behind a tree, and looked down the mountain.

A family car is traveling on the winding mountain road below, heading in the following direction:
"Where are the remains of Orochi?"
