I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

Ara cited the dangers posed by the Yamata no Orochi to the head of the Minamoto clan.

Unleashing evil spirits, instigating wars, and encroaching on land—these are all terrifying acts that will destabilize the world!

Cooperating with that guy is tantamount to seeking help from a tiger.

Of course, persuading the head of the Minamoto clan to dismantle the sacrificial altar, which bore witness to countless bloodshed, through dialogue without bloodshed remained his top priority.

After all, the current head of the Minamoto clan, Minamoto no Yorimitsu, is indeed a newly appointed leader who has transcended the influence of those corrupt old men.

However, it is clear that it is almost impossible for any ambitious person to choose to "cut off their own arm" before achieving their great cause!

Even if he himself is fully aware of the enormous hidden dangers and crises that the forces he has relied on or conspired with pose.

But he will also choose to borrow, and is confident that he can master it!

"Oh?"

"Is it dangerous to rely on the power of Yamata no Orochi?"

"Then what about your Uchiha clan defying the will of the gods and repeatedly incurring divine punishment near Kyoto?"

"Having repeatedly offended Takamagahara, will this world not be doomed?"

"Don't say you'll withstand the divine punishment that comes your way,"

"Because the Yamata no Orochi wants to emerge through the altar, the Genji clan will not stand idly by!"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu's words were forceful and clear, and there was no way to find a loophole.

Those defiant eyes were like those of a king, a king whose word could decide the fate of the world!

At the same time, Shuten-dōji finally realized just how terrifying and dangerous the Onmyoji who had saved him at the critical moment was!

He vividly remembers the divine punishment and wrath that occurred several years or months ago.

During that time, all the demons of Mount Ooe were in an atmosphere of extreme panic.

The latter, in particular, caused a deep sense of unease in the capital due to the wrath emanating from the heavens.

Unexpectedly, both of those huge upheavals were caused by the other party!

However, along with the danger came a label of approval.

This recognition stems from the Arakawa incident that occurred several months ago.

Previously, some demons reported that the monsters of the Sea Kingdom were launching a massive attack on the coastal waters of the Wild River as if they had taken the wrong medicine, and that large areas of land were swallowed up by the sea in just one day.

Therefore, he urgently mobilized his forces to prevent the Sea Kingdom's ambitions from extending beyond Arakawa to encompass the entire Heian-kyo!

However, the epic battle that could have ignited the entire Heian-kyo was later stopped by a human Onmyoji.

That Onmyoji must have been him.

The name the little demon sent back seems to be, Wilderness?

Uchiha Ara.

Suddenly, a human name, which had gradually faded in his memory due to the passage of time, surged into his mind.

"what happened?"

"Why don't you speak?"

"In the final analysis,"

"We are just the same kind of people!"

A yearning, soaring spirit shone in Minamoto no Yorimitsu's eyes.

Even the fatigue on his face from days of intense battles was swept away at this moment by the surge of excitement in his heart.

The vast city of Kyoto has been lonely for far too long.

The Fujiwara clan has wisely given up the struggle for supremacy and chosen to focus on the surrounding islands; as for the Kamo clan, which has been attacked by half-demon, it goes without saying that they are in a period of decline and are heading towards decay!

That foolish predecessor, Kamo no Tadayuki, actually dared to dream of creating a world where humans and demons coexist—it's utterly laughable!

There has never been such a thing as humans and ghosts coexisting!

Humans alone reign supreme!

But now, finally, an opponent has appeared who can be regarded as an equal!

[Uchiha]

It seems that from the day you took Hakuzosu away, the gears between our two clans have been meshing together!

"at last,"

"The head of the Uchiha clan,"

"I will only ask you once: are you and your family willing to join me and the Genji in taking it upon yourselves to eradicate all demons from the world and fight for humanity to become the sole voice in this world?"

"Of course, I promise you, after the hundred demons have been cleansed, I will personally destroy the altar to prevent the evil god Yamata no Orochi from descending."

"I think that day will come soon if our two races cooperate."

Despite being filled with fighting spirit to compete with the person in front of him, Minamoto no Yorimitsu still followed the principle of putting humanity first and proposed a cooperative plan.

Such a blatant alliance greatly increased Shuten-dōji's sense of crisis.

Both Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Uchiha Ara, these two human Onmyoji, put him under considerable pressure!

If the two join forces,

For ordinary monsters, that would be devastating!

Of course, it cannot interfere with anything during this period.

After all, he is a demon, the Demon King of Mount Ooe!

How can we bow down and beg from humanity?

"I refuse,"

"Monsters, like humans, have both good and evil aspects, and I do not believe in eradicating them all."

"Moreover, I have many monster friends who have helped me a lot and are indispensable partners to me."

When the head of the Genji clan said that he had offended the will of Takamagahara and might bring unimaginable disaster to ordinary people in the world, he could not refute it and could only choose to remain silent.

However, when it came to the matter of indiscriminately eliminating monsters, he responded decisively, facing the unwavering gaze of the head of the Genji clan without backing down.

Even a brief trip to Qijiao Mountain made it clear that although we have different identities and races, as long as we understand each other and show goodwill, we can become steadfast partners who can entrust our backs to each other!

Upon hearing this, Minamoto no Yorimitsu's arrogant eyes gradually turned gloomy, and his tone became more hostile.

"Oh?"

"So, your family also adheres to the belief that humans and ghosts coexist?"

"He does resemble that senior member of the Kamo family somewhat."

"That guy defied the will of the Kamo clan and insisted on taking in a half-demon, teaching him human etiquette, culture, and even Yin-Yang magic."

"And guess what happened next?"

He paused deliberately for a moment, seemingly wanting to give this naive young Onmyoji some room for imagination, but the emotion in his eyes grew colder and colder in just a few breaths.

Can monsters be considered friends? Can they be called partners?

This is an absolutely ridiculous joke!

This is completely contrary to the beliefs upheld by the Yuan family!

"As a result, that half-demon slaughtered all the young disciples of the Kamo clan, leaving none alive."

"Oh, no, one was left behind, but that one was also a half-demon."

"Isn't it ridiculous?"

"If someone with only half a demon's bloodline can commit such heinous acts, then a true demon would be even more evil, without exception!"

"The reason they approach you with a 'good' facade, flatter you, and try to please you is simply because they sense your power!"

"If you let your guard down even slightly, those guys will tear off all your masks and devour you and your family completely."

"This is my only and final piece of advice."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu spoke with a gloomy expression, as if he were thinking of many unpleasant memories related to yokai.

Did he foresee that he would die at the hands of the Oni King of Mount Ooe?

He was determined to shatter this prophecy and show those corrupt old fogies within the clan who truly understood whose voice and will should lead the Yuan family!

"What a joke!"

"Compared to the methods of your Genji clan, the yokai are far more straightforward!!"

However, before Ara could answer, Shuten-dōji was already furious!

Are all monsters evil?

Such statements are far too high-sounding and too absolute!

The demons under Yu's command have never overstepped the boundaries set by the 'Mountain God'; they simply live in their own paradise, just like humans!

Discussing ideas with close friends, sharing drinks with close friends,

This is the simple life he's been pursuing!

Everything is unrelated to the human world!

Moreover, compared to that, forcibly altering Onikiri's will and forging it into a weapon, forcing him to kill his former comrades, that is truly ruthless—a ruthlessness he could never learn!

But before Shuten-dōji could muster the strength to break free from Onikiri's grasp and slam his clenched fist into the self-righteous, despicable onmyoji, his savior spoke once more:

"There are no monsters on the land I live on."

"Oh? That's a truly blissful place. I never imagined there was such a paradise outside of Kyoto."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu commented dismissively.

He knew the former was an Onmyoji from a foreign land outside Kyoto, but he didn't know that the foreign land was separated by such a long distance of time and space.

"Therefore, all conflicts originate between human beings."

“Some rulers, under the guise of preventing internal strife, incite their subordinates to slaughter their own families, not even sparing newborn infants.”
