I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 468 Orochi (Big and Small Serpent)?

"The remains of Orochi?"

Looking at the skeleton in Teach's hand, Jiu Kongyao'ai's expression was complicated; she was genuinely shocked, but perhaps not so much pleased.

"Where did you get it?"

"Found in the Hii River in the Okudezumo-cho area of ​​Shimane Prefecture."

Teach explained earnestly, but Kuku Yuai narrowed her eyes: That's right, in the legend, Susanoo did meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Ashina Shii and Tena Shii, in this region. Just by their names, you can tell that these two are standard Kunitsu gods.

but!

Even if Jiu Kongyao could think with her toes,
They also knew that the island nation's government had dug up the river long ago, so there was no way there could be any remains of Orochi.
"It was discovered tens of meters below the riverbed,"

"Young Miss, don't you want it?"

After giving the 'honest' Teach a deep look, Jiu Kongyao snatched the bone away.

"One's own strength is the foundation; weapons and magical artifacts are merely external forces—I believe the young lady will soon be able to avenge her humiliation."

Teach's flattery reached her ears, but Jiu Kong Yao Ai only stared intently at the skeleton in her hand: power, of course she wanted it; but the power this skeleton brought...
"Ah,"

With a cold laugh, the young lady tightened her grip on the skeleton.

"I didn't have a choice in the first place."

Instead of swallowing the 'Orochi's Remains' immediately, Kyuuka opened her mouth and spat out a small white clay rabbit doll.

click,

Clench your five fingers and crush it into pieces.

After waiting patiently for a few minutes, a giant white dragon flew in from the sky.

woohoo~~~
The dragon slowly descended, and the gale-force winds from its enormous wings made Teach's black robe with red clouds flutter loudly, causing the pirate to pull up the edge of his hat and retreat behind Jiu Kong Yao Ai.

"Oh?"

"You've found new Orochi remains?"

With a hoarse voice, the Akatsuki member codenamed 'Blue' stepped off the back of the flying dragon.

Although everyone knew the identity of this 'mysterious person,' since the other party wanted to hide his identity, Jiu Kong Yao Ai was naturally happy to cooperate.

"right,"

The young lady raised the skeleton in her hand.
"I'm prepared to swallow this bone—if I lose control, don't hold back, use your strongest attack!"

If things get out of control, it means the Yamata no Orochi will revive within her: Don't misunderstand, Jiu Kongyao doesn't care what happens to this world. But she absolutely cannot let that man get away with it! Even if it means death, she can't let that man get away with it.

"no problem,"

Qiong Mei nodded.

"That's what I'm here for."

If the Yamata no Orochi were allowed to be resurrected, not to mention Abe no Seimei's absurd suggestion of using the serpent to protect the world; just the fact that this great demon would threaten her brother would be something that Sora would absolutely not agree to!
"Don't worry, as long as you lose control, there won't be any matter within a 10-kilometer radius."

After saying that, Qiongmei—no, the mysterious person codenamed 'Qing'—spread out her hands.

A black rabbit doll in his hand kept expanding until it turned into a clay statue taller than a person: it was covered with countless black lines and looked extremely dangerous!

this.
Marshall Teach's expression changed.

He knew all too well the power of this 'Yuqiong Rabbit'. Back when the Nine-Tailed Fox was at the end of its rampage, he was only caught in the aftershocks and was blown to pieces with his face covered in blood.

If you get caught in the epicenter of the explosion, you won't even need a coffin; you'll be instantly reduced to ashes!
"Okay, then it's up to you!"

Jiu Kong Yao Ai was not like Titch, and she had no need to hesitate. She picked up the bone in her hand and threw it backward.

Glug,

She swallowed that huge bone in one gulp.

It has to be said that, with the help of Orochimaru's various ninjutsu, the distance between Kyuuka and 'humanity' is getting further and further apart.

"Aaaaaaah!!"

After swallowing a piece of bone, Jiu Kong Yao Ai's body suddenly began to writhe, as if a large number of venomous snakes were slithering around under her clothes: an arc arched up here, and a large dent appeared there! Finally, her flesh and blood swelled up continuously, and at the same time, her body began to be covered with dense white scales.

"here we go,"

Seeing that Qiongmei made no move, Xiaoying, who came with her, had a sudden thought.

As the earth writhed, thick roots burst forth from the soil, lifting the two back: Jiu Kong Yao Ai, who had swallowed the 'Yamata no Kami's Remains', continued to expand in size and changed direction towards the 'snake'. Staying in place and being rammed by her enormous body would not be a pleasant experience.

"Aaaaaahh ...

As Teach also leaped backward, the white snake, which had swelled into a giant python, roared to the sky.

Previously, Jiukong Yaoai could also transform into a 'giant snake', but at that time it was still a yellowish-brown 'original spearhead viper', a famous venomous snake native to the island nation;

The white giant snake that has now transformed is indeed a white giant snake: its entire body is covered with sharp, blade-like scales that stand upright like a mountain of knives! Amidst its painful roars, the scales on its constantly writhing neck burst open, revealing a taut membrane without any wrinkles, which then quickly becomes congested with blood, turns red, and ruptures.

Pfft

Finally, the stretched membrane to its limit tore apart, scattering into several unconnected, broken scales. Blood and dense 'demon power' gushed out like a floodgate bursting open, spraying in all directions towards the massive breach.

A huge head emerged from the filthy blood, taking over the entire ruptured neck!

This head is also white and serpentine, with huge, pale fangs and long, narrow eyes that outline feminine features. In its dark pupils, golden pupils radiate a domineering, savage, wild, and evil light.

"Roar!!!!"

As soon as the head appeared, it roared to the sky, seemingly asserting its presence.

That wasn't the end of it. To the left and right of the two snake heads, wriggling protrusions arched up again until they tore through the scales, and another white snake's head emerged amidst splattering blood and flesh.

One is divided into two, two becomes four, and four becomes eight!
Soon, under the watchful eyes of the three people present, Jiu Kong Yao Ai had completely transformed into a colossal eight-headed monster, hundreds of meters tall, with a coiled body thousands of meters long.

"Roar~~Roar~~Roar~~Roar~~Roar~~Roar~~Roar~~!!"

As soon as the eight heads appeared,

They roared to the sky, their cries echoing through the heavens and earth, causing the clouds to churn, the earth to crack, and the ground to tremble as if it were an earthquake of magnitude eight.

In an instant, all that could be seen was that her, it, or Him opened eight huge mouths, each spewing out torrents of various colors of 'demonic power', some black, some purple, some brown, and some blue, which intertwined like the most violent tsunami, forming hundreds of vortexes that spun high amidst the mournful howls of a thousand souls.
Despite the extreme noise and intensity, the surrounding temperature plummeted as if by a blizzard, and the air even appeared strangely distorted.

"So strong,"

Xiao Ying, wearing a fox mask, stood solemnly.
Don't let her seemingly weak strength fool you; she spends all her time with powerful individuals: Bai Zangzhu, within the area shrouded by the divine tree, is considered a Dragon-level being! Not to mention You, the 'strongest in modern times,' and the fact that she doesn't keep any extraordinary information from anyone makes it immediately clear:
"The strength of its spiritual power is approaching that of a powerful demon. No, it's—"

Weak dragon level!

That's a huge improvement!

However, considering the status of Yamata no Orochi in mythology, such power is not surprising.

Just as Yu-kun said, the Orochi Relics did not bring a linear improvement, but rather an upward curve.

"Ho~~!"

"My throat!"

"It's so itchy~~!"

Three heads began to speak. As these white heads opened their mouths unconsciously, small blue and purplish-black spheres appeared around them.

What is this move?
Before the frowning Qiong Mei could make any move, the other white heads seemed to gradually regain consciousness.

"Roar?"

"who are you?"

"This is my problem!"

"court death!"

"Get out of my way—"

"what happened?"

"What's with these heads? No, my body..."

"Kill!" each of the eight heads shouted. In the chaos, several heads took the initiative and bit at the heads next to them!
boom----

Just at this time,
The clustered blue and purplish-black spheres exploded, instantly covering the faces of the eight snake heads.

"Cough cough cough~~"

Who is attacking me?

"This is my problem!"

"How brave!"

Who bumped into me?

"What kind of technique is this?"

"Idiot, it's me—no, our spell has gone out of control!"

"kill!"

Eight chaotic voices suddenly rang out from the smoke, causing Qiong Mei, who was about to start 'Youqiong Rabbit', to stop.

"Nine Void Shaking Love?"

"Hmm?"
"kill!"

Eight enormous white serpents emerged from the smoke.
They all looked at the two Akatsuki 'mysterious figures' being supported by the giant tree roots.

"like?"

"I am Jiu Kong Yao Ai!"

"What are you imposters talking about?"

"shut up!"

"I understand!"

"How is this going"

"Could it be that my soul has split into—"

"kill!"

Seeing that these heads were about to start fighting amongst themselves again, Qiong Mei had no choice but to speak up once more.

"Quiet, everyone!"

"Do you still want revenge against 'Abe no Seimei'?"

"Yes!" X8
This time, even the head that could only say "kill" clearly uttered the word; it shows how high Abe no Seimei's "status" was in Kusora's heart, even overshadowing her instincts.

"Then you'll do as I say."

Qiong Mei glanced at the eight-headed white snake that had calmed down.

It has eight heads and one tail; it is not a complete Yamata no Orochi.

Many people believe that the Yamata no Orochi has eight heads, one body, and one tail, but that is incorrect.

The Kojiki (Records of Ancient Matters) clearly states that the head and tail each have eight branches. The term "eight-branched" does not refer to the forked parts of the body, but rather to its head and tail. In other words, the true Yamata no Orochi (Eight-Headed Serpent) has eight heads and eight tails.

Orochimaru's 'Eight-Headed Serpent Technique' transforms him into a white eight-headed, eight-tailed serpent.

The "Eight-Headed Serpent Technique" that someone bestowed upon Jiu Kong Yao Ai, although it is also an S-rank ninjutsu, was specially made into eight heads and one tail in order to distinguish it from the "Myth".

"Xuan, what do you think?"

Qiongmei turned to ask Xiaoying beside her, and after Xiaoying observed carefully:

"The soul has not changed, but the 'consciousness' has been divided into eight parts, each controlling one of the heads."

"So, it wasn't replaced by Yamata no Orochi?"

In that case——

"Calm your minds, focus your scattered 'consciousness,' and then deactivate the transformation."

"what?"

"I won't do that!"

"Merge with these guys? No way!"

"Shut up!"

"This is difficult~~"

"Hey hey hey, I've split into two?"

"This is troublesome; my consciousness doesn't want to merge into eight."

"kill!"

These idiots!

Looking at the giant snake heads in front of her, some confused, some arrogant, some fierce, some domineering, some frowning, some bewildered, some pondering, and some who only knew how to shout "kill, kill, kill!", Qiong Mei felt a headache coming on.

Jiu Kong Yao Ai, that guy, can actually argue with himself, he's quite a talent.

"It seems your hatred for 'Abe no Seimei' is nothing more than this."

"I'll just kill you all right here—"

"What?!" X8
Upon hearing the name 'Abe no Seimei', the eight heads immediately spoke in unison again.

"revenge!"

"Kill him—"

"Too cheap! It needs to be tortured severely!"

"Lingchi!"

"Never forgive!"

"That's right, that's the reason for my existence."

"Alright, everyone stop resisting and merge with each other."

"kill!"

Driven by hatred, the eight heads intertwined, and the enormous white monster shrank rapidly at an unreasonable speed, gradually transforming into human form.

splash,

A long robe with a black background and red clouds was thrown by Qiong Mei onto the little girl who was becoming clearer as she wriggled.

"Ahem, thank you."

Wearing a long robe and regaining her human form, Jiu Kong Yao Ai looked terrified.

"If it weren't for you, perhaps the eight consciousnesses that I 'split' out would already be fighting to the death?"

It was precisely because she knew her own personality that Jiu Kong Yao Ai said those words: She was someone who could kill herself! In that split situation just now, the eight consciousnesses would definitely have fought each other, and it was questionable whether 'Jiu Kong Yao Ai' would still be left in the end.

Or perhaps, one-eighth of the soul's Nine-Empty Shaking Love?
"You're welcome,"

Qiong Mei doesn't take credit, because:
"You're such an easy person to understand."

Jiu Kong Yao Ai's obsession is 'Abe no Seimei', and everyone on the island nation, no, on the entire planet, knows it.

"Oh, is that so?"

With a self-deprecating laugh, Jiu Kongyao shook hands with Ai.

Power! Abundant power! And newly acquired abilities—her current strength—

"Dragon-level!"

With this power~~
The young lady felt confident she could do it again!
