I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 91 Rebellion against Tiangang
Tap tap tap,

Stepping onto the simple wooden ladder, the group began to 'climb the tree'.

Among the crowd were elderly people leaning on canes, middle-aged men in suits and ties, and spirited young people—each a true member of the island nation's elite elite and heir to powerful conglomerates. Besides them, there were also men and women who, though appearing to be ordinary, exuded an air of inexplicable confidence.

They are all extraordinary individuals, truly capable of turning every enemy into an enemy state within ten steps!

There were even many bizarre shapes, some humanoid, some wild, some with burning heads, and some skeletons dressed as nobles.
No matter who they were, everyone obediently climbed the steps. This was the territory of the 'Divine Tree': whether dragon or tiger, noble or demon, everyone had to follow the rules!
"What a novel experience."

Walking among a group of 'demons and monsters', Qiong Mei looked around.

With so many extraordinary beings gathered together, if it weren't for their instinctive perception of the strangeness of the 'Divine Tree' and the rules set by You—that the extraordinary beings among these people would have started fighting on their own—they would have already begun fighting.

"Yes, indeed."

Walking on the roots of the sacred tree, You nodded.

From now on, time is on his side; as the divine tree continues to absorb the planet's energy, it will one day bear the fruit of chakra, and immortality will naturally be within reach.

The world of Naruto has actually already produced Chakra Fruits: the one that Kaguya Otsutsuki ate a thousand years ago. This means that an energy-rich planet wouldn't be destroyed simply because it produced a Chakra Fruit.

Planets lacking sufficient energy can only produce inferior 'Chakra Dan';
That kind of thing isn't enough to enhance the Otsutsuki clan; it can only be used to restore chakra.

As for what kind of fruit this planet beneath our feet will bear—that's probably a long time from now. Even Yu, who just planted the divine tree, doesn't know. As for the purpose of this trip:
"Gentlemen, we've arrived."

Those who rush to worship the sacred tree immediately are basically extraordinary individuals from the vicinity of Tokyo.

Climbing hundreds of meters of steps in one breath is a difficult task for ordinary people: the panting officials and wealthy people in the group are examples. But for the extraordinary, it's just a matter of lifting their legs. They all looked up at the large red torii gate in front of them.

Then it stopped moving forward.

because:

On the ground in front of the torii gate, two enormous eyeballs moved slightly.

One is looking left, and the other is looking right, giving the impression that they do not belong to each other.

Earthquake Catfish!
The torii gate of the Inari Shrine is located on the back of this yokai: clearly, all the supernatural beings who approached it felt the aura of the earthquake catfish.

This aura is stronger than most of the extraordinary beings here. In other words:
"We will pay our respects here."

The skeleton nobleman's jawbone clicked, making a sound out of thin air.

The other 'monsters' and extraordinary beings also stopped in their tracks: passing through the torii gate was the dwelling place of the gods.

Ordinary people are one thing, but what might happen to these extraordinary beings who have entered the realm of the gods without permission?

But there are exceptions—

"follow me,"

Lady Nagisa waved to Yu and the other two.
Taking a few steps forward, the lady bent down again to explain to the earthquake catfish on the ground:
"These three are Xiaoying's friends."

Gollum~~
Her eyes darted around, and she wondered how Lady Nagisa could tell from the earthquake catfish's 'face' that it agreed.

"Okay, let's go."

Shouldn't we raise the intelligence of this creation?
Yu touched her chin and lifted her leg forward.

"Walk,"

"Phew, wait, my legs are weak."

After walking over the catfish, squad leader Nao bent over, panting.

"Psychological effect,"

Qiong made a cold judgment, and as Yu turned around, reached out and took Nao's hand, she added:
"Tea ceremony".

"Ah, I'm not~~"

"Let's go, let's go, don't block the road here."

They decided to take one in each hand and lead the class monitor and the girl in each hand towards the shrine.

"Ok?"

"There have been many changes."

Mrs. Nagisa nodded in response to Yu's words.

"Yes, a new shrine will be built in this area."

Before them was a spacious area where many elderly people dressed in traditional craftsman's clothing were walking around, measuring with great concentration. These people all had titles like "Immortal of XX" and were first-rate masters of traditional architecture.

"The shrine is over here."

After bypassing this busy area, a grove of trees came into view.

That's right, given the enormous size of the 'divine tree' beneath our feet, it can even support a normal 'forest'.

After passing through the woods, the familiar scenery finally appeared before them.

"Xiao Ying,"

?

"Kiyo, Nao-chan, and Yu-kun!"

The girl, who was chatting with a white fox as tall as a person, turned around, saw the three of them, and excitedly ran over, opening her arms wide.

I miss you all so much~~

bang,
"Hey, is this really okay?"

The girl's gesture of opening her arms and embracing the three of them was certainly bold; however, she ended up bumping into Yu, who was in the middle.

"Hehehe~~ I can do whatever I want now, that's what Xiaobai said!"

"Xiao Ying, you should still pay attention to your image."

A giant white fox approached and spoke in human language.

His entire body was as white as snow, with long, slender cheeks and a graceful figure, and a fox mask was worn diagonally on his head.

"Hello, humans."

“I am a divine messenger under the Inari God. Just call me ‘Hakuzosu’.”

"Lord Hakuzosu," x2
Qiong Mei and the class monitor bowed their heads in greeting, while the giant white fox sniffed at You, who was in the center, with a puzzled look.

"Human, I smell a familiar scent on you."

"I?"

You waved her hand.
"I'm just an ordinary human being who knows some little tricks like 'spells'."

"Spell?"

The white fox tilted its head and thought for a moment.
"You mean Yin-Yang magic?"

"So it was one of those guys who like to 'smile without saying a word,' no wonder."

After saying that, the white fox shook its head.

"I do not like."

"But he's certainly qualified to be Xiaoying's friend."

After saying that, the white fox turned around, walked to the side of the main hall, lay down, stretched, curled up into a ball, and began:
Sleep well!
"Xiao Qiong, come here, I'll take you to see something interesting~~"

Taking Sora's hand, Koei excitedly pointed to the house next door. Meanwhile, the aloof and unapproachable Ichiyo was chatting with Class President Nao about recent events.

"Madam, is this alright?"

As for Yu, he turned around and asked Madam Nagisa.

"Won't the island nation's government and the people of America restrict Xiaoying's social life?"

"Yu-kun,"

Mrs. Zhu answered softly.
"No wonder Lord Hakuzosu doesn't like Onmyoji,"

“You all know everything, but you pretend not to know.”

After speaking, the lady glanced at Xiao Ying, who was pulling Qiong Mei into the house, and seemed to be infected by the other's smile.

"Just like how Yu-kun knew Xiao-ying's identity beforehand, which is why he made that 'bet'."

"Now that Lady Miketsu has sent down a divine messenger and bestowed a divine tree, neither the island nation nor America will interfere with Akira's decision."

because,

They could not afford the consequences of angering Inari!
In the past, although Tengnüying was a treasure of the island nation and the American government, it was just a 'treasure'.

Faced with a treasure, the powerful and wealthy would certainly want to control it; a large number of people appeared around the Nagisa family and around Tennyo Ei: it was called protection, but it also had the flavor of imprisonment!
But things are different now. Whether it's the island nation or America, their people have disappeared from this shrine. Everyone's smart enough to know better; continuing to send people to follow them every step of the way would be tantamount to surveillance: daring to spy on the gods' representatives on earth—what audacity!
Do you really think Inari God has no fighting power?

Did you ask the divine messenger?

"Ah,"

With a slight smile, You did not refute.

He orchestrated all of this in secret, which is quite similar to the 'yin-yang masters' in history.

"Onmyoji and the like are outdated."

"Now the popular term is 'sorcerer'."

A sudden change in status or position
Not only Eiryuu and the Nagisa family, but also:
"Lieutenant General, I'm sorry, I cannot agree."

The middle-aged politician, dressed in a dark suit, declined in fluent New York accent.

"The Yokosuka area has been sealed off by our side. There are a large number of divine plants left behind by the 'divine messengers' inside. In order to avoid accidental injury, entry is prohibited. We hope that you understand, Lieutenant General."

Bang!
With a muffled thud, the white lieutenant general abruptly stood up.

"Can you say that again!?"

"I'm very sorry, the Yokosuka area has been sealed off by our forces, and inside..."

"Horii!"

"He's just a deputy foreign minister. Who do you think you are dealing with?!"

"Commander of the Seventh Fleet, Commander of Yokosuka Base—Lieutenant General, I am well aware of your position."

Facing the menacing white lieutenant general, the middle-aged and elderly politicians of the island nation slowly gave their reply.

"Lieutenant General, have you forgotten where you are?"

This is Yokota Air Base, located in Fukusa-cho, Tama-gun, 45 kilometers west of Tokyo, with an area of ​​7.3 square kilometers.

It has a large helipad capable of handling various types of aircraft, including bombers; it belongs to the American Pacific Air Forces Command and serves as a transit base for the entire Far East region. After all this, the island nation's Deputy Foreign Minister's meaning is quite clear.

This is neither Yokosuka nor the Seventh Fleet!

The white lieutenant general's face turned pale, then flushed red with anger.

"What do you mean?!"

Faced with the enraged white American lieutenant general, the island nation's deputy foreign minister calmly and methodically gave his reply.

"Lieutenant General, this Yokosuka tragedy..."

"The cause is that you have privately imprisoned a transcendent being belonging to 'Suzuka Mountain',"

"We also suffered heavy losses, including hundreds of warships of various types, personnel, and the city of Yokosuka."

After speaking, the Deputy Foreign Minister, who had been told to "get lost" by the white lieutenant general not long ago, raised his head and met the person in front of him without fear.

"Whom should we seek compensation from for these losses?"

Go find the elders of the Suzuka family:
Haiming?

You've got guts! Reward yourself with a Category 18 super typhoon!
"Now that the disaster has been quelled by the messengers sent by Inari, are you all rushing in to claim the spoils?"

These words made the white lieutenant general's eyes go blank: it was not hard to see from the satellite that the Seventh Fleet in Yokosuka Naval Base had become a pile of scrap metal, so how could there be any spoils of war?
No, there are.

The 'White Fox' divine messenger left behind a vast, enormous forest.

The fleet can be rebuilt; however, these giant forests are unique in the world: perhaps they can be used to research something that prolongs life. In that case, he would not only be innocent, but could also make a fortune and earn plenty of points.

White Americans are very particular about the 'points' system: whether it's in supermarkets or between people.

Helping you once is like accumulating points; when I need your help in return, I can use these points to redeem something.

This is the rule of the game among white people, and it's the essence of America: as long as white lieutenant generals control those 'giant forests,' they still have a chance to turn the tables.

"No one can stop me from returning to Yokosuka Base!"

The enraged white lieutenant general glared at the island nation's deputy foreign minister, his eyes seeming to want to devour him.

but:

"Lieutenant General, are you sure?"

The island nation's vice foreign minister, who had once been harshly criticized, simply responded with a nonchalant question.

"Yokosuka City is the place where our island nation's 'Inari God' has performed miracles. Are you planning to offend the gods once again?"

As the Deputy Foreign Minister finished speaking, the white lieutenant general's face stiffened.

Offending Inari God again?

He can't bear it, not even America can!

If a mere messenger possesses strength that makes 'Hai Ming' wary, what kind of power would the 'God of Abundance' personally wield?

Snapped,

Sitting back in his chair, the white lieutenant general closed his eyes, his face full of wrinkles making him look as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

"Mr. Horii,"

Brigadier General Thomas, standing nearby, spoke up.
"Our Third and Fifth Fleets are on their way here."

"How about we work together to rebuild Yokosuka—no, to provide disaster relief?"

"I think we get along fairly well."

Upon hearing Brigadier General Thomas's words, the Deputy Foreign Minister nodded.

"Yes, Mr. Thomas."

Please believe that we have always been friends.
