I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

Without a doubt, the main combat mission of containing the enemy is S-rank, and even the simplest mission of evacuating residents is B-rank.

This allows the ninjas in the village who are willing to take on restraint missions to better find their place.

“I will quickly gather the tribesmen and the villagers who are willing to take on the task. In the meantime, you are not allowed to go to that place alone.”

Although it was her own idea, when the teleportation vortex materialized behind her, an unconcealable worry appeared on Izumi's face, and her beautiful, slightly trembling eyes were fixed on her beloved in front of her.

She worried that the other person would take advantage of her absence to deal with the countdown crisis alone.

"Okay, I promise."

"This is what I promised you, don't worry."

Upon hearing this, Huang's lips curled into a helpless smile, and he gently stroked the girl's hair with his raised hand, intending to soothe her inner unease.

"Ah."

"Don't lie to me, or else..."

Izumi, still somewhat uneasy after receiving a response, immediately wanted to make some threats to prevent her lover from going to deal with the crisis alone out of concern for her safety.

But when the words he wanted to say came to his lips, he suddenly realized that any threat seemed rather pale and powerless at this moment.

Therefore, she abandoned the harsh words that were about to slip out, and her pearly teeth involuntarily bit her thin lips, as if she was thinking about what kind of words to use.

In the end, Quan said nothing, but suddenly threw himself into the former's arms and gently tiptoed to press his thin lips to hers.

This sudden scene made Ara's heart clench, and after a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth, Yaodaoji silently turned her back again.

What terrible things have I done?

.........

After sending Izumi and Yoto Hime back to the Ninja World, Ara returned to the Heian-kyo dimension once again.

Of course, in order to prevent the power of the Cloud Mirror from being perceived by the gods of Takamagahara, it still carefully passed through the Asura Demon Realm.

Upon returning to the Heian-kyo dimension, the sudden emptiness in his palms left him with a sense of loss.

Especially the girl's thin lips at the moment of parting made him clearly feel the strong emotions from her.

However, Huang quickly snapped out of his previous tenderness.

He knew that his most important task was to improve his strength, because only in this way could he have the energy to fulfill his promise to Quan.

After his emotions gradually calmed down, Ara began to form a vague plan in his mind: to first take a trip to Kyoto.

To my shame, compared to Izumi's attentiveness and foresight regarding his own affairs, he himself, despite knowing that he might face the Genji clan head-on, did not take it as seriously.

His purpose in going there was to find out the specific strength of the Minamoto clan, whether they had any alliances with the other two clans, and most importantly, the location of the altar.

Of course, if he were to actually break into the depths of the Minamoto clan with only the power of Miyamoto, he wouldn't hold back.

They destroyed the blood-stained altar!

The essence of a ninja is deception!

The so-called ten-day agreement was undoubtedly a trap set by Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

The day the priestess is sacrificed is when the power of Yamata no Orochi is at its strongest.

It remains to be seen whether the ambitious new head of the Minamoto clan will use the power of the Yamata no Orochi to eliminate himself and the Oni King of Mount Oe; or whether he will use his own power to destroy the altar and shatter the decay of the Minamoto clan; or perhaps both, reaping the benefits of the situation.

Shaking his head, Huang chose not to try to guess what others were thinking; it was too tiring.

When he emerged from this contemplation, he had already arrived at the gates of Kyoto.

There were no major changes since my last visit, and the entire city was not under any apparent state of alert.

It's possible that the Genji clan wasn't moving that quickly enough, or perhaps it's because although the Kamo and Fujiwara clans were relatively weak, they were still powerful enough that Kyoto couldn't become the sole domain of the Genji clan.

In particular, the genius half-demon Abe no Seimei, who studied at the Kamo family academy, should gradually show his own brilliance during this period.

However, Kyoto has changed somewhat compared to before.

Almost everyone was talking about the punitive expeditionary force, the Minamoto clan, and the new head of the Minamoto family.

The head of the Genji clan has returned alive! Even the Demon King of Mount Ōe couldn't break his banner!

With Genji around, monsters are nothing to fear!

【The divine power of Lord Minamoto no Yorimitsu!】

【......】

Regardless of whether this campaign ultimately succeeds or fails,

Without a doubt, the mere fact that the prophecy of the past had been broken was enough to make the residents of Kyoto admire the young head of the Minamoto clan to the extreme!

Ara didn't listen carefully to the discussions, but instead used the secret technique "Mirror Still Water" to enter the territory of the Genji clan.

A large number of Kyoto residents have gathered here, presumably following the returning punitive expeditionary force.

Before even stepping into this area, he sensed something completely different from before.

This strange feeling didn't come from the onlookers, nor from the Ghost Soldiers, whose numbers had increased several times over; it came from this very space.

At this narrow entrance, the obscure fluctuations have increased several times over compared to before.

This means that the Genji clan has activated numerous barriers to prevent potential enemy invasion.

Furthermore, it must be mentioned that the barrier constructed by the Onmyoji is far more precise and stable than the barrier created by the Konoha Barrier Team. Even behind the barrier covering the entire area, there are subtle, scattered sensory lines constructed using delicate Onmyoji energy!

A menacing line appeared at the corner of Huang's eye, and the magical threads of power, like infrared sensors from a TV series in his previous life, leaped into his view.

Just as Ara drew his sword from behind, intending to use Mimi-kirimaru's exorcising power to infiltrate the interior, a soldier clad in full armor, with the Sasa Ryudan crest engraved on his chest, strode out from the depths of the clan's territory.

This situation caused him to stop in his tracks, as he was about to take action.

Suddenly, the ghost soldier stopped less than three meters in front of Huang and shouted in all directions:

"My master has instructed me to pass on his message,"

"The Minamoto clan's festival is in ten days. If you wish to attend, please come in ten days."

"The altar is located at the deepest part of the mansion; there's no need to search for it."

"But if you trespass, don't blame the Genji clan for being ruthless."

In this manner, the soldier announced it to all directions several times. After he finished speaking, he turned around and strode back into the Genji territory.

Such a declaration was certainly not addressed to the ordinary residents who were watching from all sides.

After all, the ordinary people who were just watching the spectacle had already stopped on the periphery and dared not overstep their bounds.

This warning was a message I gave myself.

Judging from the Ghost Soldier's actions toward the three-sided declaration, the other side did not notice him standing so close.

However, the Minamoto clan, or rather, that guy Minamoto no Yorimitsu, must have done something to me, so that even without sight, I could faintly sense his presence.

[Were these marks left during the robbery of Hakuzosu?]

[Was it during the dialogue at Mount Ōe?]

Or perhaps it's because he himself has been tainted with a trace of the Demon Sword Princess's demonic power?

In an instant, a multitude of speculations arose in his mind.

However, Ara did not delve into these speculations. Instead, after muttering, "As expected of the Minamoto clan, the head of the three great families," he released his grip on the sword and walked towards the outskirts of Kyoto.

Since the proud patriarch had already told him what he wanted, he decided not to linger there any longer.

He needs to use the remaining time to gather the last of the monsters he can rely on.

The first destination has already been decided.

It was a promise he owed to those two little ghost messengers in the underworld.

“Wuwuwuwu…”

He had only been walking along the small road leading out of Kyoto for a short while when he suddenly heard a soft sobbing sound.

The voice sounded like that of a little girl, and the source of the voice was in the woods ahead.

Sure enough, following the sound, he found the crying little guy behind a giant tree.

A small figure could be seen elongating faintly in the moonlight, and judging from the glimpses of fabric showing, she appeared to be wearing a shrine maiden's outfit.

However, a fluffy little tail seemed to be swaying below the shrine maiden.

Chapter 783 Let me take you to her, okay?

She rested her delicate, pink arms against the tree trunk in front of her, her small shoulders trembling slightly as she released her emotions.

She must be very sad right now, so much so that her little furry ears, hidden under her short hair, are not able to clearly perceive the movement around her.

She was wearing a small-sized shrine maiden outfit and was barefoot.

The shrine maiden's outfit was neat and generally clean, except for some mud and grass stains along the edges of the skirt, which were probably from running through the woods and bushes.

She just kept crying, as if some uncontrollable emotions were accumulating in her slightly heaving chest, and her three little tails drooped limply like withered foxtail grass.

"Waaaaah,"

“Wuwuwu…”

Perhaps she was crying because the gods refused her request to become a priestess; after all, there had never been a god who made a monster a priestess.

Huang didn't disturb the little guy's emotional outburst, but he didn't leave either. Surely, no one would feel comfortable leaving such a pitiful little creature crying alone in the countryside.

Since it was already late, he simply leaned against a giant tree on one side and rested for a while.

After an unknown amount of time, the girl's cries gradually weakened, and a soft rustling sound came from where she was standing.

'Eek.'

But just then, as if suddenly startled by something, a surprised sound burst from her delicate throat.

Then, the rustling sound of the surrounding grass being trampled became intense and distant.

It was only after the little girl noticed that there was a human next to her that she immediately chose to flee.

She was very familiar with the environment, so much so that even with her eyes closed, she could tell where the withered vines lay across the ground, where the hidden traps and pits were, and where the small corners were for hiding.

All the surrounding vegetation was rushing backward, but she, frightened, did not stop, as if she wanted to use up all the strength in her small body.
