I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 720 Super Newcomer

Shinshin Town, Akita Prefecture.

This is a typical agricultural town in an island nation.

The permanent population is only about 5,000, and most of the people work on farms near the village.

With the support of modern technology and the 'blessing' of the Inari god, this place produces tens of thousands of tons of grain a year, which is absolutely not to be underestimated.

In addition, there aren't many 'evil spirits' here, so life is pretty good: at least much better than in the Kansai region, because there are ancient battlefields everywhere, and the fierce evil spirits in the wild in the Kansai region are hard to eradicate; dealing with those mindless evil spirits has become the daily 'routine' for most low-level superhumans.

After all, it is the lingering echo of a soul accumulated over thousands of years. Even if someone pours it into the island nation every day, it will not be so easy to wipe it out.

"Ugh, so boring~~"

"The battles with the Sea Kingdom and the Orochi forces are over,"

"There shouldn't be any major developments lately, right?"

Five elementary school students, around ten years old, carrying schoolbags, walked on the road at the foot of the mountain;
For them: the extraordinary, evil spirits, gods—aren't those things just things to be expected?

Compared to their parents who found it hard to accept and were filled with anxiety all day long, this generation of primary school students is used to it. After all, when they began to understand the world, extraordinary events were happening one after another, and now they are reported on the Internet every day. What's so strange about that!

"Don't be careless. Although we don't have many evil spirits here, I've heard that the 'rare beasts' of the Orochi faction are spreading."

A boy with a side-parted hairstyle spoke up, reminding his companions.

Coupled with the 'winter disaster' in the northern Great Northern Kingdom, Zhenxin Town gradually became less safe as time went on.

"I heard that the town is going to send two more superhuman police officers. That's what my dad said."

The boy with the 3/7 split haircut had a father who worked at the town's police station, so he naturally knew some 'insider information'.

"Oh? Shall we go take a look?"

The other two boys immediately became interested in the extraordinary police officer.

"Pshaw, what's so interesting about it?"

A chubby boy in the back scoffed in rebuttal.

"It's just dog-level,"

"It's just that it's stronger, faster, and more durable—Ash can do that too!"

As he spoke, the chubby boy pointed his thumb behind him, and a boy with his hands behind his head looked on blankly.

"Huh? What can I do?"

The four elementary school students turned around and looked at their bewildered companions, speechless.

"Xiao Zhi, why don't you show any signs of intelligence?"

Could it be that Ash's parents foresaw all of this and therefore specifically chose this name for him?
"Haha, it's not my fault that my grades are bad!"

The boy with stubbornly sticking-up black hair laughed and scratched his head, leaving his friends speechless.

We weren't praising you!

but--

"With Xiaozhi's athletic achievements, he'll definitely become a superhuman in the future, right?"

"That's true."

The four elementary school students nodded in agreement. Their classmate, Xiao Zhi, had achieved perfect scores in all physical education subjects at school and was hailed as a genius by his teachers, who treasured him dearly. In the eyes of other elementary school students, he was strong, fast, and physically robust.

I will definitely become a superhuman in the future and enter the police system. I won't have to worry about homework at all.

That's so enviable!
rustling sound

Just then, a strange noise came from the bushes nearby!

? !
"There is a situation!"

"Spread out—"

As expected of elementary school students of the new era, several little boys noticed something was wrong;
He immediately spread out and crouched low, pulling his backpack from behind him to the front as a shield.

To run around haphazardly in the face of an unusual situation is tantamount to entrusting one's fate to the gods. Maintain a dispersed formation, observe the situation, and then decide how to escape.

brush,

Soon, a yellow figure tumbled out.

"Wang Wang Wang!!"

Immediately afterwards, several Akita dogs with the same yellow fur rushed out.

Damn!

The mouse, about the size of a house cat and with a jagged, lightning-shaped tail, rolled over and arched its back, trying to intimidate the vicious dogs like a cat.
"Pikachu~~"

? ?
Is this a cat?

"It doesn't look like it; I think it looks like a dog."

The elementary school students looked at each other in bewilderment. This 'creature' they didn't know what it was was not intimidating at all; it was just an adorable little animal breathing on them.

As for those Akita dogs:

"Xiao Lanwan, what are you doing?"

As the boy named Xiaozhi stepped forward, the Akita dogs, which had been growling fiercely, began to grin obsequiously, their tails flailing like propellers.

These Akita dogs are the town's 'patrol dogs,' and are said to have the bloodline of 'demon dogs,' making them much more intelligent than normal dogs: at least the dogs in the past wouldn't squat down like the lead Akita, raise its paw to point at the 'hissing' yellow-skinned creature, and then make a throat-slitting gesture.

Five years ago, this would have been terrifying. But now:

"Oh, you're saying it's an intruder?"

"Woof woof~~"

The patrol dog leader nodded, clearly understanding what Ash meant.

"Looks harmless, really?"

Stepping forward, the boy named Xiaozhi reached out and picked up the yellow-skinned creature from the ground, his face showing an expression of 'that's all'.

"Wang-"

crackling and popping

Before the lead patrol dog could 'warn' Ash, a bolt of lightning erupted from the yellow-skinned rat.

Sparks crackled and flashed, and a blinding white light emanated from Ash's body, making his entire body seem transparent in an instant, revealing his white bones. His already stubborn hair instantly turned into an afro.

"Let go of Pikachu!"

How could this be true? How could it be true?
Raichu was furious. That 'Luffy' had kicked away 99.999% of his spiritual power, leaving him with only a sliver of strength and soul to escape.

They had barely gathered together when a powerful Onmyoji came knocking and unleashed a sealing spell.

Poor Raichu has fallen so low as to be chased by dogs.

good good!
It truly is like a dragon trapped in shallow water.
Why didn't you say so sooner?

"Wang?"

When the lead Akita dog was almost speechless enough to utter a human-like speech...
The elementary school student who was shocked by '100,000 volts' didn't die; instead, he grabbed Raichu's body with both hands and fell backward.
"German-style bridge fall!"

Bang! !

A sudden, violent jolt shook the back of Raichu's head, and the poor man's vision went black.

He was knocked out on the spot by a primary school student.

"You're awake?"

When Raichu opened his eyes again, he found himself lying in a crib.

???

"This is my home,"

Facing the yellow mouse that had rolled over and was panting, the boy named Xiaozhi reached out his hand.

"Sorry, I knocked you out."

"It's getting late, I'll take you to the police station tomorrow. Oh, by the way—"

"Let me introduce myself again, I'm Ash from Pallet Town."

? ?
"You little human brat, aren't you afraid of me?"

Ash was astonished to hear this adorable 'supernatural creature' speak in such an old-fashioned way in such a well-behaved voice.

"Why should I be afraid?"

?

"Hmph, I am Raichu, the leader of the Eight Heroes!"

The yellow-skinned rat, who had been introducing himself with his hands on his hips, looked up at the dazed boy opposite him.

Well, are you intimidated by my reputation?
"Raichu?"

"you--!"

"Pfft hahaha~~"

The next second, the elementary school student named Xiaozhi laughed so hard he rolled on the ground.

"That's hilarious! You don't actually think that just because you're a yellow-skinned mouse, you can impersonate 'Raichu', do you?"

"He's a world-destroying demon god, and you're just getting chased and bitten by a dog, hahaha!"

!!!

Startled for a moment, Raichu, its color visibly turning red, leaped to the edge of the crib, raised its little paws, and let out a delicate yet angry roar.

"Enough, you human brat!"

"I am Raikachu!"

Even though Raichu tries its best to be more imposing, it's sealed by the Great Onmyoji and can't even beat a dog now. Its voice is so 'cute yet fierce':

"Okay, okay, you're Raichu, hahaha~~"

Xiao Zhi covered his mouth, trying hard to suppress his laughter.

"Are you aiming to become 'Raichu'? Good luck!"

"—Everyone says I am Raichu!"

Raichu, already stomping his feet in anger, had his cheeks flushed red, but only a tiny static crackled out.

"Liar!"

Get up from the floor.
Elementary school student Xiaozhi gave a serious rebuttal.

"Raichu has already been kicked to death by Lord Luffy of the Sea Kingdom!"

"And you can't even beat me, yet you dare to call yourself 'Raichu'?"

"I--"

These are the two things that Raichu least wants to face right now.

But facts are facts, therefore:
"Okay, I'm not Raichu."

Its ears drooped down, and because of the seal of a certain great Onmyoji, it lost the ability to absorb power from heaven and earth like the 'Eight Heroes'; the current Raichu is so weak that it can only be chased by dogs, and in the human hierarchy, it can only be classified as 'dog level'.

At best, he's just a dog-level being with special abilities.

Damn the great Onmyoji Seimei!
"Human brat, come and fight me."

With its claws poised in an attacking stance, the shrunken Raichu, despite its adorable appearance, spoke of a chilling topic.

"To die at your hands wouldn't be too humiliating."

This young human brat is so young yet he can withstand its lightning; he's destined for greatness.

Thus, they barely managed to avoid tarnishing the reputation of the "Eight Heroes".

?

"But if you want to die,"

"Why don't you let those patrol dogs kill you?"

As a primary school student in the 'new era,' this is what Xiaozhi is focusing on.

"I am Lei. No matter who I am, I can only die in battle! I can't give up like a coward. I want to fight to my heart's content!"

Raichu, striking a pose, waved its little paws, ready to fight the elementary school student in front of it to the death.

He is one of the "Eight Heroes," and no matter what seal Seimei placed on him, he will surely be reincarnated once he dies.

Although by then, the newly born 'Wild Lightning' will no longer possess its memories and cognition.

"I do not want!"

However, the other party refused without hesitation.
The elementary school student getting up to change into her pajamas was clearly preparing for:
"I'm going to go to bed."

? ?
"Hey, aren't you afraid I'll ambush you?"

"what--"

Upon hearing the yellow-skinned mouse's words, Ash turned his head in surprise:

"Why should I be afraid?"

"If your goal is 'Raichu', you wouldn't do something so pointless."

Goodnight~~ Sleep well.

After saying that, the elementary school student climbed into bed, turned off the light, pulled up the covers, and closed his eyes in one smooth motion.

Sleep well!
"Ha, you human brat, you're wrong."

“Raichu just launched a sneak attack on the young lord of the Sea Kingdom, Ootakemaru, on the battlefield.”

As he spoke, the adorable-looking but actually elite member of the Eight Warriors, a yellow-skinned mouse, lightly hopped to Ash's bedside and raised its paw.

However, that claw ultimately did not land.

Using stratagems to launch surprise attacks on the battlefield is an integral part of combat.
But to attack a defenseless brat would be to trample on the dignity of the strong.

"Forget it, there's no need to worry about this brat. The most important thing now is..."

How can I remove the seal on my body?
Under the cover of night, the yellow-skinned mouse raised its little paw and rubbed its chin.

Ask the other members of the Eight Orochi for help? No, no, no! Those guys would definitely laugh at him like crazy. Raichu would rather die than face that!

But suicide is not in line with its strong character.

How to do?
Ah ah ah ah ah!
That despicable Grand Onmyoji—
