I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 471

"Yuya's reached Dragon level!"

Xiaoying looked melancholy. Although many insiders had speculated that Yu was Rokudo when Rokudo banished the Nine-Tails, Yu himself denied this: he had no need to hide it from the people in the office, so Rokudo was indeed not Yu.

Because it's just a clone!

"But I'm still a Tiger-level,"

As for my younger sister, Ichiyo, and Nao, let's just leave them be: they're both 'civil servants,' one in charge of agriculture and the other in charge of industry, so it's understandable that they don't have the ability to improve.

But Xiao Ying is, after all, a 'divine child' who gained power upon her transcendence, yet she's still stuck at the Tiger level, which is truly...
That's terrible!
"You're different,"

Yu comforted her.

"There's no need to go through the same arduous practices as others."

"No problem, Xiaoying. You can beat up whoever you want, because you are the daughter of Inari God."

"Huh?" X4
Everyone was stunned. What kind of 'warlord' was speaking?

"Okay, no joke."

Yu put away her joke and explained seriously:
“Xiao Ying’s condition is indeed not something that can be improved through cultivation.”

Wood Release is, after all, just an 'ordinary' bloodline limit; its power is not weak, but it's nothing special.

The First Hokage, Hashirama, was the reincarnation of Ashura's chakra, so his talent was naturally top-notch. Coupled with his battles from childhood to adulthood, his combat abilities were absolutely top-tier. What he used was less like 'Wood Release' and more like the 'Pillar Release' of the Bloodline Limit!
Later, Konoha went on a crazy research spree of Wood Release, wasting manpower and resources, and only managed to create a few Grass Release techniques before finally giving up completely.

For ordinary Wood Release ninjas, Jonin is the highest level they can reach, which is equivalent to Demon level.

Of course, even if Xiao Ying stayed on the sacred tree every day, she would still be a tiger.
This also proves that her combat talent is indeed not very good.
But will it work?

It's all up to someone else!

"In short, if Xiaoying wants to improve her strength, she needs the approval of the 'Inari God'."

As long as a large amount of 'Yang attribute' chakra is injected and fused into 'Bloodline Limit,' recreating the First Hokage's ability to single-handedly control a Tailed Beast is not a problem at all.

"Hey?"

"Is that really how it is?"

Everyone else is practicing diligently, and you're just asking the gods to give them a cheat code... no, to directly 'bless' them? Isn't that a bit disrespectful to their efforts?

"What's wrong with that? That's just how belief systems are."

With his hands outstretched, Yu, having the gods as his backing, was just that carefree!
It's only because Xiaoying has a good personality that she's able to maintain her domineering attitude of "I don't eat beef" long ago, otherwise the whole island nation would have had to accept it by the nose.
"Then forget it."

Xiaoying couldn't bring herself to 'bother' Inari God for something like that.

"Actually, there's another way, hmm~~"

Yu touched her chin.

"We'll talk about it when we need to."

? ?
Don't tell me you're keeping only half; it makes people really curious!
Qiong Mei, Xiao Ying, Nao, and Yi Ye couldn't help but feel speechless; as his strength grew, Yu also started to play the 'silent smile' trick, just like those strong people.

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.

Speaking of strong individuals, the most 'hot' topic in the island nation right now is undoubtedly:
"Tokyo Makoto will protect everyone!"

"Please learn about the glorious deeds of the 'God of Calamity'—"

On the street, every few blocks, believers belonging to the "Changlimai Church" would distribute leaflets; passersby would take the leaflets: even those who did not intend to believe in this "God of Calamity" would not show any obvious refusal.

In the past, people didn't even believe that so-called 'gods' existed, so they would naturally say, 'They are just gods, believe it or not.'

But now, gods are real; and when masters fight, the aftershocks can destroy cities and lands.

It's entirely a case of ordinary people unilaterally praying for divine protection, while the gods completely ignore them.

Now that a god is suddenly willing to respond, who would refuse?
Moreover, in government propaganda:
"Earlier, Susanoo's descendant 'Ie' appeared in the Aokigahara Forest!"

"Please do not be afraid, because 'Changlima Yizun' has already defeated it!"

On mobile phones, televisions, and large projection screens in the streets, news like this was being broadcast: Of course, the actual situation was that Mai, Kafka, and Shio had suppressed Ie. However, through skillful editing and appropriate positioning, Mai Kawai was always kept in the 'center position,' making it look as if:

'Jotachi Mayuzumi' dominates the battlefield!
"Wow, that woman's 'strength' is actually that strong?"

Yukino Satsuki walked down the street carrying a bunch of weapons, with a bunch of spirits floating behind her, attracting a 100% attention rate.

Looking up at the large projection screen on the street, one could only marvel at the appearance of the snake-bone figure, which resembled a beautiful woman.

"Um, she's no longer the policewoman 'Yu Li'."

Yukino Satsuki, who was browsing information on her phone, was also quite shocked by the information on her phone.

"Not long ago, this 'Kawamai' made a great vow and became a 'god of calamity': now known as 'Tokatsumai-no-Mikoto'."

Traditionally, divine female deities should use 'XXX life' as the ending of their names. However, since Kawai Mai is a deity whose primary purpose is killing, using 'life' as her title would be too gentle. Therefore, she simply used 'honor', which represents force, as her title.

Anyway, when it comes to gods, gender and such are no longer important.

"Huh? You've become a god~~"

Man Gu scratched his head and looked at the battle on the large projection screen.

"With such strength, it's not unreasonable for him to call himself a 'god'."

It's much better than those monsters in their world who claim to be gods but can't even defeat them, these 'mercenaries'.

"Even though I'm dead, it's not bad to encounter such interesting things. Hahaha~~~"

"But what meaning does life have without a body?"

Hearing the carefree laughter of the barbarian, the resentment in the mung beetle almost materialized.

"Is this all you aspire to?"

Lian Gu gave a cold laugh.
"The puppetry techniques of this world are quite unique. Once Xue Gu has collected all the materials, making a few bodies will be a piece of cake for me!"

Just like the previous 'Silver Bone', their 'eight-person team' will be able to go on missions together again: although strictly speaking, it will be one person plus seven puppets.

"But your puppet can't do that kind of thing."

Wu Gu's face was full of conflict.

"You're such a pain—"

Amidst the commotion, one person's seven souls headed towards the Yukino family's house.

Is a peaceful routine on the horizon? But how can there be lasting peace in this world?

"how?"

"Just a fragment of the 'Kusanagi Sword' can grant someone such power."

An island nation, Kagawa Prefecture, a ring road around the island.

This place was formerly known as 'Zanqi', which was the place where Chongde was exiled a thousand years ago.

Now, with the rampage of evil spirits, most of the mountains and islands of the island nation have been abandoned. Of course, these evil spirits are easily melted if they get too close to 'Great Tengu' and 'Ie'. As for these two dragon-level powerhouses, the evil spirits are like ants on the roadside, and they won't even give them a second glance.

“Indeed very strong,” Ie nodded, holding the 'Scale Fang Sword'.

If used properly, this sword is no weaker than the sword itself: his "Virtual Dog Cannon", "Divine Incarnation", and "Heavenly Magagu Bow" are all wide-range attacks, which can sweep away thousands of troops and destroy the world when used to crush novices; but when used to fight against experts, it is a bit like "using a cannon to kill a mosquito".

On the contrary, the two abilities attached to this 'Scale Fang Sword', 'Prison Dragon Break' and 'Illusory Style: Flower', are very suitable for one-on-one combat.

If it weren't for this sword, Yi Jiang, this 'fake' Dragon-level, would have almost been overwhelmed by three veteran Ghost-level opponents.

"It's just a fragment,"

"If I could gather all the fragments of the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, with the divine sword in my hand, I could even slay the gods of Takamagahara!"

The refined middle-aged man, 'Great Tengu' Chongdeyuan, sneered repeatedly.

He seems to harbor considerable resentment towards Takamagahara.

This is easy to understand. It was because of the struggle between those 'gods' that he, who had awakened the 'Susanoo bloodline', was involved. His cursed life was a tragedy. He was rejected by his father and brother many times. He couldn't even surrender or admit defeat. In the end, he died of anger.

"I don't care what you want to do."

Ie didn't trust this 'Great Tengu'; his power was suspicious to begin with. Perhaps everything that had happened to her was orchestrated by this guy behind the scenes.

However, only he could reunite me with 'everyone': for this reason, Ijiang was willing to cooperate with him.

"Don't forget the 'Eye of the Moon' project you promised—"

"Don't worry, I will do what I say."

The refined middle-aged man wasn't lying; when the time was right, he would definitely use the Infinite Tsukuyomi technique.

The eternal kaleidoscope is actually quite simple.

Don't forget, the kaleidoscope in Ijiang's eyes was given to her by someone.

Theoretically speaking, someone is the 'father' of these eyes: the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is a dojutsu that can only be activated by transplanting another person's Mangekyou Sharingan. The closer the blood relationship between the two, the higher the success rate.

If brothers are okay, then father and son are certainly okay too!
So if you want to, you can create the Eternal Kaleidoscope right now.

However, the person was not in a hurry. The advantage of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is that the user's eyes will not suffer from the side effect of blindness, and it will also reduce the impact on the user's body.

This can be avoided by using White Zetsu cells: as for the Mangekyou Sharingan combined with Hashirama cells to evolve into the Rinnegan, someone is already conducting experiments on that.

To put it bluntly, these are all bloodline evolutions of the Otsutsuki clan, and something that someone has been doing all along.

As for 'Infinite Tsukuyomi', which belongs to the Bloodline Limit,
There's still a long way to go.
"But we've only collected one piece so far."

"Where's the rest?"

Faced with Ie's impatient questioning, the refined middle-aged man, 'Great Tengu', smiled slightly.

"Not urgent,"

"I have already discovered that there are two pieces in 'Heian-kyo'."

"One piece fell into the hands of Abe no Seimei, and the other was controlled by Minamoto no Yorimitsu: it is unknown what schemes they are secretly planning to use it for."

Ie frowned slightly. What kind of place was Heian-kyo? Abe no Seimei was a dragon-level being, and Minamoto no Yorimitsu's strength was also constantly recovering; it was said that his strongest state was also dragon-level. Moreover, there was a 'cross-dressing Shuten-dōji' who had lost his fighting spirit. As demon kings, even if they had fallen to the lowest level, they still had strength.

Three Dragon-level,

With their respective Ghost-level experts under their command, they are truly a force to be reckoned with!
Even Ie, a descendant of Susanoo who awakened the 'Eye of God', didn't want to go to such a place.

"There are two in Tokyo too,"

'Great Tengu' made a startling statement.
"One piece is in the sacred tree of Inari, and the other piece seems to be lurking inside someone's body, which even I cannot detect."

"As for the rest, they are probably all in the 'demigod plane'—the one you have in your hand is the one that Jiu Kong Yao Ai brought out from a certain demiplane."

So,
Yijiang frowned again.

Tokyo is not to be trifled with either, not only because it has the 'divine tree' planted by Inari, but also because of that 'strongest modern' Onmyoji.

Who would dare to be careless against such a powerful opponent whose true strength is unknown? If the opponent's abilities happen to counter your own, wouldn't you suffer an unjust defeat?
"You can't even enter those demiplanes?"

The best way to collect the fragments of the Kusanagi Sword is to enter the demi-plane.

However, the 'coordinates' of the demiplane are in the hands of those two great Onmyoji, and the biggest problem is:

"You should also know that while those of us who awaken our bloodline power immediately possess incredibly strong abilities, but—"

If one has not awakened the ability of 'space', one can only honestly learn space techniques.

However, 'Great Tengu' Shotokuin is clearly not a 'quick-witted and studious' person.
Otherwise, the rebellion wouldn't have failed so quickly a thousand years ago.

As for Ijiang
"So, our only target is the Tokyo area?"

Ijiang is a complete novice who relies entirely on his eyesight. His basic knowledge of the extraordinary world comes from a deal he made with the Cervantes family, which was a bonus from them.

Unfortunately, he had the ability to keep going, which allowed him to speed up all the way to the Dragon level: although he might now be competing with a certain young lady for the 'Dragon Shame', the Dragon level is still the Dragon level!
His strength was enough to make countless extraordinary individuals look up to him for a lifetime, yet never even be able to touch the hem of his clothes.

"So far, yes."

"Be patient, we have plenty of time—"

Despite the 'Great Tengu's' words of comfort, Ie shook her head.

"I can't wait that long,"

Every time he closes his eyes, he sees Xia Yin, Fan Qiu, and everyone else's corpses. Yi Jiang doesn't know when he will completely break down, and he is also very afraid: afraid that 'Da Tengu' is just using him; afraid that in the end this plan will not be able to reunite everyone; afraid that everyone will not be able to accept him as he is now.
"I'm going to Tokyo."

Ha, I knew it.

"But."

The refined middle-aged man hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"I'm not afraid of death."

This reason left 'Great Tengu' speechless, and in the end, he could only sigh:
"All right,"

"Here, take this feather."

With a backhand motion, 'Great Tengu' plucked a feather from its own wing and handed it to Ie.

"Although I cannot pinpoint the location of that fragment, if you get close to it, this feather will guide you."

"Then—I wish you good fortune in your military campaigns."

Because this trip will inevitably involve a series of battles; naturally, he will have to hone his Sharingan skills.

"it is good."

Tokyo,
