I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 607 Naruto Biography
"There are still experts?!"

Many fighters, struggling through the aftermath of the battle, looked up.

Thanks to Pegasus and Hikaru's conscious control of the aftermath of the battle, and the fact that Orochi didn't seem to be targeting the fighters, they were able to survive until now and witness this epic battle: how could the mighty Orochi be defeated in such a single move?
"What happened? My hand—?!"

As her hand passed through the chest of the constantly flashing white-haired, red-eyed man, Jiu Kong Yao Ai, who had successfully launched a sneak attack, suddenly discovered that she couldn't pull her right hand out.

In other words, she was instead controlled by this 'giant snake'.

not good
Pfft

Before the young lady could be beaten, another sound of flesh being pierced suddenly came from below.

"--ah?!"

The sound, so close at hand, caused many fighters to turn their heads.

What came into view was the astonished expression of their 'world's' strongest man, Kyo Kusanagi, and his chest pierced by a hand.

Unlike the clean and white hands of Kyo Kusanagi, this hand was covered in blood, and it held a golden fragment in its palm. Before Kyo could react, it had already pulled back and snatched the golden fragment away.

"Kyoto?!" X3
Benimaru Nikaido, who was covered in wounds from the previous battle, and Goro Daimon roared and charged forward at the same time.

However, the mysterious figure whose hand pierced through Kyo Kusanagi only glanced at him briefly.
boom----

A huge blue skeletal arm swept across, easily sending the two flying.

Even Kyo Kusanagi, whose chest was pierced, fell backward with blood splattering everywhere, only to be caught by Chizuru Kagura in a flash.

"Who are you? Why did you attack me?"

Looking down at Kyo's pierced chest, Kagura Chizuru angrily questioned the person who had come.

That's right, the other party is human: at least Kagura Chizuru can confirm that the other party is definitely not someone like the 'Eight Heroes'.

This was a boy with messy, spiky hair, wearing a tattered black robe with red clouds, which surprised and puzzled the fighters in the King of Fighters world: It seems that all the mysterious powerhouses in this 'other world' are dressed like this?
But why do they seem to be on opposing sides? One is controlling Orochi, one is ambushing Orochi, and one is ambushing Kyo Kusanagi?

The key is to fight anyone!

There's no way around it, the 'Akatsuki' is a catch-all term; anything can be thrown into it.

What these fighters didn't know was that there were at least eight or ten thousand people in this world who called themselves the 'Akatsuki,' since that 'Six Paths' Lord didn't care about such things at all.

glance,

With a 'divine eye' spinning like a windmill in its blood-red eye socket, Ie didn't waste any words after seizing the 'Fragment of the Ama-no-Murakumo Sword' and took a step back.

A gigantic, sky-blue warrior appeared, but not to fight; rather—

brush,

Wings spread, and it shot backward!

In the blink of an eye, it flew away from the area, leaving a long trail of light.

???

"Damn it, just die already!"

Her hand was stuck in the chest of the perfect man with white red eyes. Compared to Yi Jiang, who immediately retreated after succeeding, Jiu Kong Yao Ai was caught in a dilemma.

With a fierce look in her eyes, the young lady was a decisive person; with her other hand, she held her fingers together like a knife and suddenly slashed at her right shoulder, which was stuck.

Pfft

He severed one arm and flew away. Jiu Kong swayed and the flesh at the severed arm writhed, and in the blink of an eye, the severed limb regenerated.

At the same time, a jet-black sphere had already condensed in her left hand.

Fake Dog Cannon!
Since gaining the ability to freely enter and exit the Underworld, Jiu Kong Yao Ai has 'developed' this tactic: condensing a Void Dog Cannon and exploding it close to her face, while she hides in the Underworld.

"Has this body reached its limit?"

Before she could throw the black ball in her hand, the white-haired, red-eyed man slightly raised his head.

"Fine, now is not the time for me to make my appearance."

?

"Give up, Orochi!"

"I will never let you come out of the underworld!"

Although she didn't know if her sneak attack had succeeded, given Jiu Kong Yao Ai's personality, she would definitely not admit defeat verbally.

His figure flickered violently like a picture with a bad signal. The white-haired man with red eyes didn't even glance at Jiu Kong Yao Ai. Instead, he raised his hand and pointed at the 'sky continent' that he had cut off.

"Go, my bloodline."

The next second, his body disintegrated from head to toe, turning into beams of light that flew northward.

As the light continued to fly out, the 'giant serpent's' body disintegrated, and in the blink of an eye, only a skeleton remained under the wary gazes of the crowd.

Snapped,

Holding the skeleton in her palm, Jiu Kongyao's face flashed with hatred, fear, and confusion.

She's not really stupid; the fact that she 'succeeded' so easily is more like:

"Alms?"

"I'll make sure you don't get your way—"

Instead of swallowing the bone, a white snake emerged from Jiu Kong Yao Ai's sleeve and swallowed it; without even glancing at the people present, her figure disappeared in a spinning motion.

call,

Just as Yu-kun said, it's all over now.

Nagisa Ichiyo, who had been stiffly holding the 'Yata Mirror', finally breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, anyone present could have easily killed her; the fact that she didn't faint on the spot is already an extraordinary feat.

But precisely because of this, when she looks at those fighters now, she feels that they are nothing special: it's not an improvement in strength, but a change in mentality.

Maybe I can defeat them too? By the way, was the "chasing the moon" mentioned by that giant snake referring to himself?
"It's over, come back."

Yu's voice echoed in his mind, and the next second, the Flying God Thunder Mark was activated, and Nagisa Ichiyo disappeared.

Suddenly, the sea, which had just witnessed an epic battle, became calm and peaceful.

If we ignore the 'continent' floating in the sky in the distance.

???

"Is this... over?"

"Were those people dressed the same way members of some organization?"

The fighters in the King of Fighters world looked at each other in disbelief. These three mysterious figures, dressed in red robes with black cloud patterns and wearing wind chime hats, were all more bizarre and terrifying than the last.

Their strength was beyond their reach, and there was also that emerald green woman in the sky—a goddess. The reason she couldn't defeat Orochi wasn't because she was weak, but because Orochi was too strong.

Snap, snap, snap,

The rhythmic clapping attracted the attention of all the fighters.

"Everyone, I know you have many questions."

Iori Kazuka stepped forward, full of confidence and high spirits.

"Come, come and sit in the island nation's royal palace, and I will explain it to you."

After drinking the 'Orochi's Blood,' Yi Hua finally broke through to the Tiger level and now possesses the strength of a Weak Oni. Of course, with this level of strength alone, he certainly couldn't suppress so many fighters present. Therefore:
"My beloved Pegasus Ai Ming also hopes to exchange martial arts skills with everyone."

As Iori Kazuka raised her hand in a gesture, everyone followed her gaze and fell upon the emerald green goddess whose entire body was covered in 'qi'.

Discuss?

Are you kidding me?! How could any martial artist on the high seas possibly be qualified to spar with someone who can cleave through outer space with a single sword strike? This is nothing more than a diplomatic gesture of 'invitation'.

Those who know what's good for them will obediently go as guests; those who don't will be beaten to death on the spot!
"We have already witnessed the charm of Tianma Aiming."

"We admire Ai Ming's martial arts skills."

"Respect is no substitute for obedience—"

"OK."

Many fighters nodded in agreement; naturally, everyone was quite 'sensible' to accept the invitation from such an extraordinary powerhouse.

"Kyo, hang in there!"

The anxious voice made Iori Kazuka turn around. Hongo Hina had already walked over and, after checking on Kusanagi Kyo, who was being held by Daimon Goro, calmly made a judgment.

"He instinctively dodged a vital spot and could probably hold on for a few more minutes."

"Please ask the shrine maiden of Inari for treatment; this injury is nothing."

Hina Hongo's goal is to become the strongest human: injuries are commonplace for fighters, and most possess some medical skills. Hina Hongo is an outstanding example; a casual examination reveals that this 'prodigy' of the King of Fighters world is still alive.

"How much does it cost to hire that shrine maiden?"

Benimaru Nikaido instinctively wanted to activate his 'money power', but only realized halfway through his sentence that this wasn't their hometown.

They were taken to another world by the 'giant serpent'.

"Haha, don't worry."

Yi Hua walked over with a hearty laugh.
"With my Pegasus's connections, I can invite a shrine maiden."

Today, the Inari Shrine located on the 'divine tree' is home to many shrine maidens skilled in healing.

On the one hand, as the saying goes, "being near the water tower, one gets the moon first": living on the Divine Tree, one has abundant chakra and guidance from a "famous teacher," so one only needs to cultivate step by step; on the other hand, this world is constantly engaged in small battles and large-scale wars, and there are far too many "wounded" people, with supply falling far short of demand.

The witches were all highly skilled in their healing spells: nothing more than practice makes perfect.

"Please, everyone!"

With Iori Kazuka taking the lead, these fighters 'happily' headed to Tokyo to visit.

Touma, your injury.

Holding Touma Kamijou's arm, Shizuka Tokugawa looked distressed.

"We shouldn't get involved in things like this again in the future—"

Seeing her boyfriend injured was more painful than the wound itself.

"It doesn't matter,"

The boy with the sea urchin-shaped haircut smiled brightly, but given his missing arm and blood-covered face, it gave off a somewhat defiant vibe.

"With today's advanced medical technology, even a simple amputation of an arm is nothing."

This isn't the first time I've lost an arm. Last time, the chairman of the local association tore off my right hand. I'm used to it by now.

Thinking of this, Touma's gaze fell on the crowd traveling on the sea; however, Hina Hongo was enthusiastically exploring Kyo Kusanagi's body under the guise of 'treatment'.

She was very interested in the "No Style" move and was completely captivated by it. As for Touma, Hikaru, and the others in the sky, they were nothing more than her "defeated opponents." Apart from the strange nine illusory dragons, she had seen and deciphered all the other abilities and had no interest in them.

For Hina, only various skills can attract her.

and also--

Her gaze fell on 'Iori Yagami', who was being carried by Chizuru Kagura, and Hina Hongo's smile widened.

This man's technique is quite interesting too!
The journey to the demiplane was very rewarding.

"The fire that burns away the miasma of the Yellow Springs far away tempers the spirit."

Eight hundred thousand divine prayers were tied to the golden ring.
The Yata no Kagami (Eight-Span Mirror) reflects all things in the universe.

In the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Chief Inspector Takeya looked at the screen on his tablet, a knowing glint in his eyes.

"Director, this is one of the three divine artifacts."

The secretary behind him spoke cautiously.
"I know."

Yata mirror!
In mythology, Kunitsu-no-kami twice refused the rule of Amatsu-no-kami;

In a fit of rage, Amaterasu sent her grandson, Ninjaku-no-Mikoto, with the Three Sacred Treasures from Takamagahara, where he slaughtered Kunitsu-no-kami, leaving them with a mountain of heads.

Later, she married Konohana Sakuya-hime and gave birth to a child in one night, thus beginning the era of the island nation's royal family's unbroken lineage.

The Three Sacred Treasures have since become symbols of the island nation's imperial family: now it seems that they are not just symbols, but a guarantee of power!
The Yasakani no Magatama can suppress all extraordinary beings below the Demon level. Wearing it with the Amaterasu bloodline can enhance the power of the 'Eye of God'. Pegasus hopes to wear this divine weapon, having just accomplished the feat of cleaving the moon with his sword.
Wait! The Moon—

A bad thought flashed through Director Zhu Ya's mind, but she immediately suppressed it.

This is not a question he should be asking; let's just pretend we don't know about it.

The Kusanagi Sword had already shattered into numerous fragments.

Each fragment is enough to create an existence between the Ghost and Dragon levels: for example, the 'Fang Sword' created by Jiu Kong Yao Ai before, and the 'Heaven' created by those pseudo-gods; and just now, Yi Jiang suddenly appeared, severely injured the strongest being of the new demiplane, and took away a golden fragment.

All signs indicate that the Great Tengu's forces are collecting fragments of the divine sword.

As for the Yata no Kagami (Eight-Span Mirror), it has never been found.

Now, Director Zhuya knows—the shape of this magical mirror in the picture is the same as the mirror that Youjun uses as a 'monitor' every day:

You can't say they're similar; you can only say they're exactly the same!
Just as I thought!
"Tell the cabinet members that I don't want to see anything happen that would covet the 'Yata no Kagami'."

“If anyone has any doubts, let him come over, and I will explain it to him ‘personally’.”

Let's explain it using the term "explosive blade"!

"Yes!"

Upon hearing Director Zhu Ya's stern order, the secretary instinctively straightened up and bowed deeply to accept the command.

"Director, what about the royal family?"

The Three Sacred Treasures are, in theory, treasures belonging to the royal family of the island nation.

If the royal family has any ideas, then—

"I can't handle things over there,"

Tenma, after all, is of the 'Amaterasu bloodline,' and whether the person behind her cares or what they think is beyond Director Takeya's comprehension. Besides, he has no desire to get involved. After all, as the old saying goes, 'Even an upright official finds it hard to settle family disputes,' let alone entanglements between gods.
"Our primary objective now is this continent."

As Director Zhu Ya swiped her finger, the image on the tablet transformed into a 'continent' floating ten thousand meters in the air.

That's right, it was the giant sea and land that was cleaved apart by that 'giant serpent' with a single finger, separated from the planet beneath its feet, and then floated in the sky, forming a giant sea and landmass.

Sky Island!

When the 'giant serpent' dissipated, numerous points of light flew to this continent.

If someone like the 'Duke of the Blazing Sun' were to emerge, the North would never be at peace again.

Hey--

He let out a long sigh.

There are gains and losses: because supernatural powers began to revive in the island nation and Tokyo, the island nation now has the most and strongest supernatural beings on the planet.

But at the same time, one after another world-destroying supernatural disasters have broken out around the island nation: under such circumstances, let alone expansion, even most of its own territory is still occupied by a huge number of evil spirits!
This 'sky island' is a true wonder of gods and demons, floating above the northern sea, replacing the former Bering Sea, making it impossible for Director Zhuya to pretend she couldn't see it.

"Who should we ask to go and check?"
