I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 367 You dare to mess with us? You've really kicked a hornet's nest.

"oops--"

On the outskirts of the city, a 'battle' has officially begun.

Dong-hyo, who was flying backward, clutched his bleeding arm with teary eyes;
This made Busujima wonder if he had fallen under an illusion at some point.

"You wouldn't happen to be a psychic, would you?"

Busujima rushed over following the sounds of the battle and saw a mysterious person dressed as an Akatsuki member, as well as three corpses of Black Flame.

To kill Black Flame, one must be a Tiger-level fighter; and to take down three Black Flames, one is considered a skilled Tiger-level fighter.

Given Busujima's personality, he would definitely want to have a good fight if he encountered a superhuman with this level of strength.

but--

"Let the 'spirit' within you come forth!"

The girl in front of her, who didn't fight back and only knew how to hide, really didn't interest her.

'The other person is not a good person,'

'let me!'

The next second, 'Dong Xiaomei's' expression changed.

"The wild waves and the white line!"

With a raise of both hands, a large number of white ropes suddenly gushed out from the ground, surging towards the opponent like waves.

?

"Using ropes as weapons is certainly unique. But..."

He held the 'Kusanagi Sword' horizontally, and blazing white lightning covered the blade, surging and leaping, yet remaining completely silent.

Chidori Blade

"Break!"

The long sword slashed forward suddenly.
Silently, the surging 'rope wave' was cut horizontally without any hindrance!

That's all.

These ropes are considered quite strong for a regular Tiger-class tiger.

However, in front of Busujima's 'Kusanagi Sword', it was no different from an ordinary straw rope!

The Kusanagi Sword, also known as the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword, is named after the 12th Emperor of Japan, Yamato Takeru, who wielded this divine sword to conquer all directions. However, he was bewitched by demons and villagers who tricked him into the Night Wasteland Swamp, intending to trap and kill him there.

However, 'Wakenmei' wielded the divine sword and carved out the Night Wasteland Swamp; he wiped out all the demonized plants, and that's how 'Kusanagi' came to be.

In terms of extraordinary restraint, this knife is inherently a bonus to all 'plant-based' elements, and the same applies to ropes.

"Tsk, it's actually a replica of the 'Kusanagi Sword'?"

Seeing her rope being cut like weeds, Izuki had no choice but to retreat while conjuring two stronger ropes for close combat.

"Double white lines!"

Two ropes flew forward as if they were alive, avoiding the oncoming poison island head-on; one wrapped around the neck, and the other tripped the ankles.

At the same time, numerous thin ropes, some visible and some hidden, appeared ahead.

To make the other party hesitant to act.
However:
"Eighteen Flashes!"

As Busujima charged forward, he held his 'Kusanagi Sword' upright. The reflection in the setting sun flickered, as if the blade had trembled slightly; if it weren't for the reflection, it would have been completely imperceptible to the naked eye.

Puff, puff, puff, puff, puff,

In the next instant, straight blades of light suddenly bloomed in front of and around Poison Island, leaving bright traces in the air!
The blade gleamed coldly, exuding a murderous aura.

He had already made more than a dozen cuts?

Whether it was the ropes around them that served as traps, or the two on 'Yue's' wrists, they were all cut to pieces without any resistance.

? !
That's too strong!
Busujima's knives are not only sharp, but also extremely fast!
Suddenly, everything became brightly lit, and a blade capable of easily cutting through tungsten steel slashed horizontally, accompanied by a deadly threat.

The opponent's afterimage remained ten meters away, but the blade had already sliced ​​through the straw hat, the collar, and stuck to the skin! Under such an attack, even a Tiger-level fighter would be caught off guard, let alone react or parry; their head would likely fall before they even realized the danger.

Pfft

The Kusanagi sword sliced ​​through his neck.
Before the head and straw hat could even fall backward, the battle was over!
wrong,

It doesn't feel right.

As Busujima severed the opponent's head with a single stroke, his gaze shifted, and the two tomoe in his eye sockets noticed the 'cut' on the opponent's neck.

No muscles, no trachea, no spine. Just loose loops of rope!
Whoosh,

Almost at the moment of his beheading, this 'mysterious man' instantly disintegrated into countless ropes.

The ropes suddenly wrapped around her, first binding Busujima's hands, causing her to drop her 'Kusanagi Sword' before she could even swing it; the white ropes continued to relentlessly entangle and bind her, trying to forcibly wrap her into a 'cocoon'.

"Got you!"

The ground churned and transformed into ropes.

A figure emerged: it was the girl who had discarded her straw hat and was wearing a long black robe with red clouds.

"Without the 'Kusanagi Sword,' let's see what you can do now!"

A smug look appeared on the girl's face, which was inconsistent with her appearance and was clearly different from the person who had surrendered upon meeting her before.

By wrapping ropes around and outlining a human figure, and then covering it with 'yin-attribute spiritual power', a lifelike 'clone' can be simulated.

This move is the result of Yi Yue's recent training, and it is called: Shadow Warrior!

glance,

With his blood-red pupils sweeping over the girl, Busujima didn't even intend to use the power of the 'Eye of God'. Instead, before she was completely bound, he hooked his foot under his leg.

The 'Kusanagi Sword' that had just fallen bounced up, and Busujima opened her mouth and bit the hilt, and then:

He spun around and moved forward.

tear-

???

Completely unprepared for the attack, Izuki's pupils dilated sharply! She retreated hastily, but her robe was still slashed.

With a single slash, the black robe with red clouds was split open from the shoulder, almost cutting off Dong Xiaomei's budding breasts as well!
The replica Kusanagi sword didn't stop, and Busujima bit it as she slashed at the ropes binding her.

Collapse, collapse, collapse!

The straight knife slashed through, and the ropes snapped one by one.

"Show us what other skills you have."

As the ropes binding him slipped off, Busujima raised his hand to grab the 'Kusanagi Sword' and glanced at the retreating girl in front of him.

"there is none left?"

The other party's expression clearly showed that they had run out of ideas.

It seems this is the end.
brush,

Poison Island's figure flashed.
The Kusanagi sword, crackling with electricity, suddenly approached Izuki's nose once more!
This time, however, she had to use her true form—no, Higashi Hsiao-mi's body—to resist.

Unstoppable—

Clang! ! !
A samurai sword held the Kusanagi sword in place.

The sound of the two weapons clashing was not only loud, but also echoed with a piercing, sharp sound; like two high-spinning chainsaws tearing at each other from different angles.

On the Kusanagi sword, blazing white lightning leaped and flashed, enough to easily cut through any alloy; however, the samurai sword that blocked it was no ordinary weapon either, with pitch-black mist swirling around it, emitting a chilling scream: this mist was actually composed of the echoes of countless evil spirits!

"Two little devils,"

The one holding the katana was none other than the girl dressed as a member of the Akatsuki organization.

This time, however, her face no longer showed timidity or confidence, but rather:

overbearing!

"In the end, I'm the one who has to clean up the mess."

After saying that, he pressed down and slashed with his katana, aiming to cut at Busujima's five fingers!

It was obvious they were taking advantage of the fact that Busujima's 'Kusanagi Sword' lacked a handguard.

Crackling sounds

Amidst the flashes of lightning, Busujima naturally wouldn't sit idly by; he raised his Kusanagi sword and, surprisingly, struck first, aiming for the girl's chest!
This is an exchange of injury for injury, where the finger is used to replace the stab wound in the opponent's chest.

"Oh?"

Faced with this ruthless fighting style,
A hint of surprise and appreciation appeared on the face of the replacement, 'Higashimomi'.

"good,"

It's just not bad.

The famous sword in his hand, 'Ya-Chi', was pushed forward with domineering force.

While blocking Busujima's attack that traded injury for injury, he slammed the hilt of his sword toward the opponent's face!

Such great strength!
Tiger-class!
As the Sharingan in his eye sockets spun rapidly, Busujima changed his technique once more.

"You want to fight me head-on?"

Faced with the girl who refused to yield an inch and even charged at him with her sword again, Oda Nobuna, who had taken control of the battle, admired her even more.

"I'll help you!"

next moment,
The long swords in their hands, along with their arms, disappeared.

There was no sound, no impact, only the faint light moving in the air between the two people who were almost touching: extremely slow, yet seemingly extremely fast; it was a visual illusion caused by the light being stretched into threads as the blade was wielded at lightning speed.

This bizarre state only lasted a few seconds!

Immediately following:

Clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang,

Amidst a series of violent impacts, sparks burst forth, like millions of fireflies.

Suddenly, countless cracks appeared on the ground beneath their feet, spreading across an area of ​​dozens of meters. Countless pebbles slowly floated up, as if they had lost their gravity. After a moment's pause, a terrifying explosion occurred, with a power comparable to hundreds of heavy artillery shells. The shockwave, carrying pebbles and mud, flew out in all directions!

A figure fell out during the explosion.

"Not bad swordsmanship,"

Standing in place was a mysterious, unruly girl who had draped half of her black robe with red clouds over her body like a cassock!

Behind her was a cone-shaped patch of ground, proving that she still had the strength to hold her ground during the previous clash.

So what flew backwards was naturally Poison Island!

Between them, there were specks of blood on the ground, like blooming red plum blossoms.

Although Oda Nobuna is constantly entangled with two girls, don't forget that she was once the final boss of the 'Oni-Owari' level, a powerful demon!
If it weren't for faking his death to escape and leaving most of his power in his clone to give the underworld an 'explanation', which caused him to drop to the Tiger level, then competing with her in swordsmanship would have been suicidal!

"My sword carries the weight of millions."

Raising the 'Ya-Chi' sword, shrouded in black mist, Oda Nobuna, who was controlling her body, revealed a domineering and sinister smile.

"Want to fight me with swordsmanship?"

"Young lady, you're still too green."

"So he was a big shot who came from the underworld,"

From their earlier exchange, Busujima realized that this girl possessed two 'Guardian Spirits'.

One of them was just a normal Tiger-level being, while the other was a powerful Tiger-level being, and the pressure she felt was that of a Great Demon.

But as long as it's not a powerful demon, Tokishima is confident he can handle it:

"My sword carries only myself. Watch closely, this is it—"

Just as Oda Nobuna was waiting for Busujima to make his move,
Busujima's pupils contracted as the rapidly spinning magatama suddenly came into view.

？ ！！

In a flash,

The light in the eyes of the girl who had just been suppressing the girl from Poison Island with her swordsmanship dimmed.

"My 'Eye of God'."

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

'here it is'

When Oda Nobuna came to her senses, she found herself surrounded by darkness, and that she had turned into a piece of paper!

'This is my illusionary world, next—'

The long-haired girl who had just fought stood opposite him, raising her hand and pointing it at 'Oda Nobuna'.

'Experience the power of the Eye of God.'

Shiranui!
As soon as she finished speaking, flames appeared out of thin air on Oda Nobuna's feet, igniting her paper-thin body and spreading upwards from her ankles.

This technique is a basic genjutsu of the Uchiha clan, which can make people feel the pain of being burned by flames.

Of course, it's just an illusion.

It also lacks the terror of Tsukuyomi, which lasts for 72 hours.
"Ahhhhhh~~!!!"

However, the results were better than Tokishima had expected:

"No, don't burn it! Mori Ranmaru, Boruto, where are you?!"

The flames spread upwards, and the 'strong one' that Busu Island believed should be able to withstand them actually let out a terrified cry, waving his hands wildly in an attempt to extinguish the flames.

"I only have fifty years to live, I don't want to die in a fire! I want to pursue my own life! I am—"

ha?
So this guy is Oda.
"Sister Xinna!"

Just then, a beam of light suddenly pierced the pitch-black world.

"Hold on, I'm coming to save you!"

The girl's urgent voice was tinged with anger.

"Get out of my mind—"

"Illusion solution!"

open eyes,

The world before their eyes became reality, and Busujima, who had already walked over, ready to end the battle with a single strike, instinctively retreated.

Because the enemy in front of her was filled with black ghostly energy, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his temperament had changed drastically!

"There are two guardian spirits, and..."

The most unassuming 'host' girl actually broke her illusion.

"die----!!"

A terrifying roar that shattered the heart and terrified the soul interrupted Poison Island's thoughts.

As the renowned sword 'Ya-Chi' swept in, a giant crescent-shaped black curtain was drawn across the entire battlefield: within the black curtain, extremely shrill screams echoed, and countless figures of men, women, and children rose and fell and struggled frantically in the black mist!
The darkness seemed to descend slowly, but its momentum was incredibly rapid. The word 'death' had barely been uttered when it was already overwhelming and right before Poison Island's eyes.

It's only because this crescent-shaped black cloud is so enormous that it gives people the illusion of slow movement.

Oda Nobuna is furious!

What a terrifying attack!
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—

At the same time, several ropes shot out from the body of the girl wearing a half-length robe and wrapped around Poison Island!

"You all focus on fighting the enemy; I'll handle the illusions!"

In the girl's mind, the soul belonging to 'Higashi Takami' closed its eyes.

As a member of the Metropolitan Police Department, she knew about the "God's Eye" on Busujima: she just didn't expect that even Nobuna-nee would fall for it.

So, she will be the one to dispel the illusion at any time; Sister Yiyue will be responsible for interfering with and restraining the opponent; and Sister Xinna will be the main attacker: after all, she was just tricked by the 'Eye of God' and is in a fit of rage.

"You dare to provoke us?"

"You're courting death—"

Amidst Nobuna's furious roar, the condensed 'ghost energy' crashed down! Wave after wave of black ripples spread out, filling the heavens and earth, causing the air to twist and undulate continuously; like mountains collapsing, or ten thousand ghosts devouring hearts, it was meant to reduce Poison Island to ashes and scatter its soul.

The three powers combined, unleashing their full strength!
