Six-Eyed Sukuna, starting from Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 209 Ama no Kusanagi (Two Chapters Combined)

Meanwhile, after Hongyan left, Suwu and Kong also returned to the shrine.

After racking my brains for ages, I still couldn't figure out why my pet wanted the other person's teeth.

"What's so great about a big, dumb guy's teeth?" it grumbled sourly.

"Weapons made from dog demon teeth are quite effective..." Su Wu glanced at the sullen white tiger.

The Warcraft teeth should be pretty good too, but Kong hasn't replaced his teeth yet...

Moreover, even the empty tooth wasn't as big as the dog demon's tooth.

Since the dog general's teeth could be made into swords, one can imagine how long they must be.

"..." Sora silently lowered her head as her owner stared at her.

I should have known better than to ask.

Are you planning to pull out its teeth and use them as weapons?

It would be better to just pull out that dog.

"It's no use pulling out a tooth that's less than three years old. Wait until you're hundreds of years old before you talk about it," Su Wu retorted.

Kong was finally relieved.

Just don't touch its teeth.

"What kind of weapon should we forge...?"

"We also need to find a craftsman specifically to make weapons..."

"There probably isn't a Totosai in this world..."

Su Wu pondered.

Inu no Taisho has three weapons: Tenseiga, Tessaiga, and Murakumoiga.

Each one has a different power, but they are all very strong.

Aside from the fact that the dog's teeth were excellent weapon materials, the credit naturally goes to the guy who forged the weapon.

Tessaiga and Tenseiga were both forged by Totosai.

As for the Congyunya that follows... Su Wu couldn't recall its origins.

After all, childhood memories are just childhood memories; he watched them when he was very young, next to an older cousin.

His cousin was also a fan of anime and manga when he was young, and he was also a chef who could draw.

Su Wu's later obsession with anime was also influenced by the other party.

"The Kusanagi Sword... the Ame-no-Kurakumo Sword... are these two really unrelated?" Su Wu asked thoughtfully.

The names are quite similar.

He might not be able to get the Cloud Fang, but he might be able to get the Heavenly Cloud Sword!

That thing seems to be a magical artifact from Japan; it's a real thing.

You should be able to find it in Heian-kyo too, right?

Inside the shrine, Gojo Haru was sitting and watching two little girls and two dogs fight.

With his eyes wrapped in silk ribbons, everyone assumed he was blind, so when he sat there, people thought he was just sunbathing.

A lot of people can even ignore his presence.

It seems that without the six eyes, Gojo Haru has lost the right to be taken seriously by others.

Haru Gojo wasn't angry at all; he just found the group of people utterly ridiculous.

He watched them as if they were a joke.

After all... a group of people knew some of the functions of the Six Eyes, but not enough details.

Although he couldn't see the faces of the people, he could distinguish them by other things.

For example, the flow of magical power or spiritual energy is different for everyone.

So when he saw a figure descending from the sky, he already knew who the person was.

The owner of this shrine.

"Do you know where the Kusanagi Sword is?" The other person asked with great interest as soon as they landed.

Gojo Haru immediately understood what the other party meant.

Given the other person's personality, they wouldn't casually ask meaningless questions.

Once he asks, it means... he wants to do something.

When the other party mentioned the Kusanagi Sword, his purpose was obvious: he wanted to obtain the Kusanagi Sword.

A divine artifact that has existed since the age of gods.

"Are you talking about... the Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi related to Yamata-no-Orochi?" Gojo Haru asked again to confirm.

"Hmm." Su Wu nodded confidently.

"Its name... is enshrined at Atsuta Shrine," Gojo Haru said, fanning himself.

The weapon once used by Susanoo, one of the Three Noble Ones, is placed in Atsuta Shrine as a token of the gods.

"I want it," Su Wu said bluntly.

Gojo Haru suddenly paused.

Although... it was within his expectations, it was still a bit surprising that the other party brought it up so confidently.

"If you want it... it's not impossible."

"If an ordinary person wanted to, they would have to have a go at the hands of the priests and shrine maidens at Atsuta Shrine, but for you..."

Since that group of people have acknowledged the other party's identity as a god, then what right do mortals have to stop the god from reclaiming his weapon?

Although this god is not that god, the name of the god that the boy in front of me occupies is Tsukuyomi.

Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo are known as the Three Noble Children because they are a family.

Tsukuyomi is Susanoo's older brother.

What's wrong with the older brother using his younger brother's weapon?

"I doubt anyone would dare refuse you if you barged into Atsuta Shrine and demanded the Ama-no-Murakumo Sword," Gojo Haru said with a smile.

"It's simpler than I thought." Su Wu's tone didn't show joy, but rather some disappointment.

If it's so easy to obtain, then the sword seems rather ordinary.

"But for you, after all..." Gojo Haru sighed softly.

You are the strongest in the world.

Moreover, in everyone's eyes, he is the strongest without humanity.

No one is afraid of Gojo Haru, because he is still human, the head of the Gojo family, and acts on the Emperor's orders.

Therefore, even though he was the strongest, humans who considered themselves extraordinary dared to do things to him.

But Su Wu wouldn't.

In the eyes of the crowd, he was like a demon, and was forced to acknowledge the identity of the other god.

But it's not a human being after all.

Since he is not human, human methods cannot be used to deal with him.

Demons, ghosts, or gods only acknowledge strength.

Talking to them about family status and power is useless; they'll kill without hesitation.

"...Looks like I'll have to make a trip to get it." Su Wu sighed.

Atsuta Shrine is nearly 200 kilometers away from here, which is quite a distance in Heian-kyo, where there are few high-speed transportation options.

Fortunately, he can use Cang.

I'm once again amazed by how convenient and practical Gojo Satoru's skills are.

The smile on Gojo Haru's lips was somewhat subtle.

The people at the shrine might be so frightened by the sight of the other person that they wouldn't dare to move.

After all, Atsuta Shrine also sent people to besiege the other side.

"That dog demon is here again." As he spoke, Gojo Haru looked up at the sky.

"...Shrink a bit, don't turn into a human," Su Wu said coldly.

The giant dog demon was about to transform into human form and land, but upon hearing the sound, it reluctantly shrunk in size and landed in front of Su Wu and Gojo Haru.

"I brought the tooth." The shrunken dog dropped the canine tooth on the ground.

It sat on the ground, its large, furry tail sweeping the ground behind it.

Everyone who sees it will say, "What a beautiful dog!"

It's much prettier than the other two cubs.

"The dog demon's fang... are you going to forge a weapon?" Gojo Haru looked at the boy.

With his knowledge, he could certainly guess the purpose of the canine teeth.

In the past, many samurai killed demons and used their bones to make weapons and their fur to make clothes.

But those of great demons... are very difficult to obtain.

Usually, these people become the subject of conversation after encountering a powerful demon.

"I have that idea, but not for me." Su Wu shrugged.

Maro has no weapon, so we can give that kid who chose the katana a weapon too.

Keep the rest as souvenirs.

The teeth that could be used to forge weapons were only the four longest fangs.

It's not even guaranteed to be successful on the first try; it would be good if four teeth could be used to make two weapons.

"...There shouldn't be any craftsmen today who can forge weapons from the teeth of great demons," Gojo Haru reminded him.

Forging weapons requires craftsmen to use hammers.

However, once the material is transformed into the teeth of a great demon, striking it with an ordinary hammer is like throwing an egg against a rock.

As for ordinary people... they might be so shocked that their blood and qi flow reversed and they die on the spot.

"...No?" Su Wu also fell silent.

We've got the most difficult-to-obtain materials, but nobody can do the work?

Does he intend to do it himself?

If he were to do it himself, he probably wouldn't be able to keep any of those four teeth...

"Our things aren't something just any human craftsman can handle," Hongyan said proudly upon seeing this.

Otherwise, weapons made from demon body parts would already be readily available to everyone.

But in reality, every weapon made from a demon's body is a rare masterpiece in this world.

"What a hassle..." Su Wu sighed.

Since that's the case, let's get the Ama-no-Kumara first.

Whether I use it or not is another matter, but the name of one of the three great artifacts sounds really cool, and I want it.

As for the other two, they seem to be the Yasakani no Magatama and the Yata no Kagami.

The Ama-no-Kumara is still cooler.

It is quite reasonable for a gentleman to carry a sword.

"I'm going to Atsuta Shrine, you..." Su Wu looked at the shrunken dog demon.

"Don't take human form in the shrine, and stay away from humans," Su Wu warned the other party.

His main concern was that the immoral dog might fall in love with a human... and he was also worried that the two little devils might fall in love with the dog.

He certainly didn't want to see people falling in love right under his nose at the shrine.

"...I have no interest in humans," Hongyan said arrogantly.

A powerful demon like him could have any kind of partner he wanted. He had seen plenty of beauties from the fox clan, the raccoon clan, and even other races.

Compared to those enchanting female demons, human women... their delicate and frail appearance is indeed endearing.

Hongyan's eyes darted around as he thought of the human woman he had once seen.

However, human lifespan is too short, and the human woman he saw a hundred years ago has long since turned into bones.

In fact, he met the human woman a total of five times.

When they first met, the other person was still a child who mistook him for a mountain guardian deity. After a fleeting glimpse, the child hurriedly fled.

The second time they met, the other person was already a young girl who came to apologize to him with offerings, saying that she was ignorant when she was young.

On their third meeting, the girl was now a married woman, and she came with her husband to offer him sacrifices. He lay on the tree, watching the two appear and disappear together.

On their fourth meeting, she was now a mother, bringing her two children to the mountain where Hongyan lived, and telling the children that there was a dog god there.

On their fifth meeting, she was very old, her children had grown up and started their own families, and she came alone.

There was no sixth time because she had already died of old age by then.

For demons, the lifespan of a human is but a fleeting moment.

Hongyan felt that every time she woke up, she seemed to see the other person.

Demons can sleep for a hundred years, but humans cannot.

His feelings for that human woman weren't exactly love, but rather a sense of curiosity.

It's because the other person called him "God" when he was a child.

After all, he's a demon, so it's natural that he'd find it a bit amusing to be suddenly called a god by a human child.

At that time, he thought to himself that he would never fall in love with a human in his life.

Because humans live too short a life.

A great demon with a lifespan of a thousand years can be killed by human love.

It was loved by humans and loved humans in return. After humans died, it was killed by loneliness.

"That's not necessarily true." Su Wu glanced at the other person and scoffed.

As is usually the case, those who say they look down on humans will eventually be proven wrong and then change their opinion of humans...

Tsk.

"You should come with me." Su Wu picked up the other person, mounted the white tiger, and took off into the air.

"Put me down, put me down..."

"I am a great demon!!!"

Enraged, Hongyan's fur turned bright red, like a ball of flame.

"It can even change color, that's quite interesting." Su Wu merely raised an eyebrow at this, her tone surprised.

"If you don't tell me, no one will know who you are. But if you insist on telling me, are you going to reveal your name as well?"

"For example, while I'm holding you up, you're shouting things like, 'I'm the great demon xx'?" Su Wu suggested to the other party.

"..." Hongyan silently raised her hand and covered her face.

What powerful demon? Where did this powerful demon come from? Isn't the thing being carried just an ordinary little dog?

"My name is Hongyan. What's your name?" Hongyan, who had been quiet for a while, suddenly asked.

This was the first time he had ever asked a human's name.

"Aren't demons' names supposed to be given to people casually?" Su Wu asked curiously.

"Only names that are voluntarily handed over can be controlled by others," Hongyan said nonchalantly.

He's already lost anyway.

"I want to be your friend," he said.

The creature in front of you is not human; it must have a long lifespan. Don't worry about it dying when you wake up.

Moreover, they are powerful enough to be friends with great demons.

"I don't need friends," Su Wu said decisively.

"You are nothing but my defeated foe, and also my mountain-guarding dog demon."

"You can call me Tsukuyomi, or Tsukiyomi," the white-haired, blue-eyed boy said.

These are all alternative names for the Neon Moon Goddess.

"...Tsukuyomi?!" Kurenai was immediately stunned.

Huh? San Guizi? A great god?

Is this for real...? He actually fought with a god-like guy before?

"Doesn't it look like it?" Su Wu asked calmly.

"..." Hong Yan looked at the other party with a complicated expression.

Does it look similar? It seems so.

With white hair and blue eyes, and black markings on his face, he possesses immense power.

But if I had to say, it's not that similar.

The moon god is a very mysterious deity, with very few stories about him passed down, and his appearance is unknown.

It seems like anything is possible.

As we talked, Atsuta Shrine came into view.

The white tiger, without any hesitation, carried the person on its back and barged directly through the torii gate.

"Wait, I am a demon..." Hongyan shouted a reminder.

If a yokai enters the shrine's territory, it will trigger the shrine's barrier.

A golden barrier appeared in the air, shining for only a moment before quickly disappearing.

"You weren't rejected?" Hongyan was a little confused.

Atsuta Shrine is a very large shrine, so the power of its barrier should not be underestimated.

But he wasn't expelled from the barrier?

Was it because the person who brought him in was the Moon Goddess?

"How dare you! What are you doing trespassing..." A priest, startled by the barrier, rushed out and was about to shout a rebuke.

But upon seeing the person's face, he immediately shut his mouth.
