The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

Although he didn't achieve his goal, he definitely left an impression. Now all that's left is to see what happens next. Maybe he can overtake Asuma and turn Kurenai into his own shape before Asuma does.

"Hehe, even though it was fake, those few moves just now felt really good."

Having said that, Ishihara Akira closed his eyes and was pulled out of Kurenai Yuhi's dream.

Then Ishihara Yuu sensed the difference!

He seems to have become more integrated into the world!

Chapter 56 Reasoning

However, before Ishihara Akira could figure out what was going on with this change, his attention was drawn to Yuhi Kurenai.

Because Kurenai Yuhi woke up.

"Ishihara?" Kurenai Yuhi, sitting on the bed, looked at Ishihara sitting by the door and asked in surprise.

"Lord Hong." Ishihara stood up and walked into his own bedroom.

"You're still awake?" Kurenai asked.

"No." Ishihara shook his head.

"Where's the red bean?" Kurenai asked again.

“He’s in the living room, still sleeping,” Ishihara Akira replied.

Kurenai nodded, got out of bed, found the slippers she had worn when she came in, left the bedroom and came to the living room. She saw Anko lying on her back on the sofa, fast asleep, and shook her head.

"That idiot."

Then, Kurenai turned around and said to Ishihara Akira, who was standing beside her, "I'm sorry to have bothered you today."

"No. After all, it's an opportunity that someone like me would beg for in my spare time to have dinner with Lord Hong and Lord Hongdou," Ishihara Akira said, shaking his head in flattery.

"You don't need to flatter us like that. Whether or not I accept you depends on my investigation of your background. If you're a good person, given our connection today, I'll naturally accept you. But if you're unruly..."

Although she didn't finish her sentence, Ishihara Akira understood what she meant.

It's just that it's unqualified and we don't want it.

He understands.

“I know you, Lord Hong, I believe my background information will not disappoint you,” Ishihara Akira said with a smile.

"Please continue to look after Hongdou. If she wakes up later and asks where I went, just tell her I went home and she can come over directly." Yuhi Hong didn't say much more, and turned her attention back to the fast-sleeping Hongdou.

"Ok."

Then Kurenai turned and went to the balcony, where she leaped back onto her own balcony, officially escaping Ishihara Akira's sight.

"Sigh... I wonder if she'll have any other thoughts after she finds out I dropped out of the ninja academy because I lost my ninja aptitude..." Seeing Kurenai Yuhi disappear, Ishihara Sho turned around and went back into the house, closing the balcony door behind him as he shook his head and sighed inwardly.

Then, after glancing once more at the unconscious Anko, he turned and went back to the bedroom. He walked over to where Kurenai had been lying and plopped down on the bed. He lay flat on his back, enjoying the warmth of the blankets while reflecting on the changes that had occurred after he had successfully entered Kurenai's dream.

Mmm, it smells wonderful, it's very pleasant to smell.

……

"The feeling before was like gaining the world's recognition, transforming myself from an outsider into a native of this world, or even an aristocrat among the natives, able to influence the world's operation with a single thought."

Although the latter point is somewhat exaggerated, and he did not actually change anything after trying it, he still remembered that feeling correctly.

"So, what is the reason for all of this? Is it really because I entered Kurenai's dream?"

"No, that's not right, it should be the influence of other factors."

Then, Ishihara Shu began to ponder the differences between Kurenai Yuhi and all the original characters he had encountered so far—

"It seems to be that inexplicable AT field formed by the thoughts of many three-dimensional humans, right?" Ishihara Sho muttered somewhat uncertainly.

However, according to Conan's words, "After eliminating other unnecessary possibilities, no matter how incredible the final result may be, it is the final truth." From this perspective, it seems that this is the only possibility!

This leads us to the origin of the dimensional world—a real dimensional world that is no longer affected or interfered with by changes in human will from the outside world, evolved from the massive accumulation of human will for some inexplicable and incomprehensible reasons!

Ishihara Sho had reason to believe that it was because he had taken over the strange AT Field formed by countless thoughts outside Kurenai Yuhi's body that he indirectly infected the core of the Naruto world—human will—and thus obtained feedback rewards similar to world authority.

The current quantity is too small to be used to realize certain exaggerated ambitions.

"In other words, as long as I am powerful enough, it's not impossible for me to turn the entire world into my own and become the Heavenly Dao of this world, right?" Ishihara Akira imagined!

But this made Ishihara Akira think of another question—

That's why, as characters from the original work, Kurenai Yuhi had the support of the people and their interests, while Anko did not.

Is it just because of the difference in popularity between the two?

But if that's the case, then Tenten and Ino aren't exactly unpopular with the audience, are they?

At least as someone who isn't a complete otaku, I really like both of them, and when I was invading their world, I didn't encounter any obstacles from their personalities or stances.

Or is it because I am considered a friend or classmate by them that this kind of thing is spared?

Does that mean that Kurenai Yuhi has been on guard against me all along?

Just because I told her I wanted to become her apprentice?

That's a bit too sensitive, isn't it?

Tough, tough.

If it weren't for these reasons, the only differences Ishihara Shou could think of between Kurenai Yuhi and the others would probably be in terms of character strength and maturity.

Just like in the original infinite flow novels, one cannot use the AT field until the fourth level of gene lock. The Light of the Mind may have appeared to stop him when he wanted to invade because Kurenai Yuhi was a pure Jonin and her strength met the requirements for the manifestation of the AT field.

"To prove this guess is correct, we can only find other people to experiment with... for example, Kakashi, Sasuke, and Naruto..." Ishihara Sho muttered to himself.

Then, under the warm blankets and the fragrance emanating from the seal, he fell asleep without realizing it.

……

"Huh? Where am I?" Some time later, when the sun was high enough to shine on his backside, a hungover Red Bean sat up from the sofa: "Oh right, I came to Kurenai's house yesterday, and then I couldn't resist the aroma of barbecue, so I went to her neighbor's house and got completely drunk."

"So this must be the home of that little guy named Ishihara."

After thinking it over, Hongdou stood up from the sofa, walked to the bedroom and looked inside. She knew then that her deduction was correct.

"How embarrassing! I got completely drunk in front of a ninja academy student. How am I supposed to maintain my ninja authority in front of him now?" Anko shook her head and sighed, as if she regretted not being strong enough.

Then she turned around and went to the bathroom, used the tools from Ishihara Akira's house to wash her face, and then went to the balcony, returning to Kurenai's house in the same way she had come before.

"Hong, why didn't you call me when you came back?" Before Hong could speak, Hongdou complained to Hong, who had come to check after hearing the noise.

Chapter 57: Food Should Not Be Wasted

Some time later, Ishihara Sho woke up.

"Huh? How long have I been asleep?" Looking out the window at the sky that was faintly taking on the appearance of dusk, Ishihara Akira sat up in astonishment.

"I wonder if Red Bean is still around."

With that, Ishihara Akira got out of bed and returned to the living room.

"They've already left."

Ishihara had no regrets. He shook his head, turned around, and went to the bathroom to begin his daily grooming routine.

As for exercise...

Next time, definitely next time.

There's also the matter of finding other Jonin and important main characters for testing.

Ishihara thought about it and decided to forget about it.

Even if he did know where Kakashi's house was, he wouldn't know if Kakashi was home!

Even if he ends up at home, with his current skills and small physique, it's wishful thinking for him to expect to make contact with Kakashi without the other party noticing.

Furthermore, that guy has Sharingan, even if it's just one. Ishihara Akira isn't sure if he can suppress him on a soul level, causing his actions to fail and putting himself in danger.

Similarly, Naruto, as a Jinchūriki, was practically protected by the Anbu 24/7.

Even when you're just in the village, it's best to avoid doing anything that might inadvertently bring you into the sights of the Third Hokage or Danzo the Nagakage, and that involves contact with Jinchuriki.

So after much deliberation, it seems that Erzhuzi is the only person he can contact and use as a test subject.

But as stated in the initial reason for not attacking him, that guy is the reincarnation of Indra, and he has the Sage of Six Paths standing behind him. If you don't want to die before you even get started, it's better not to provoke him.

As for Sakura?

That guy is dual-core driven, with two souls, one inside and one outside. Invading him is easy, but dealing with the beginning and the end is much more troublesome than dealing with Ino, a spiritual secret technique practitioner from the mountain clan!

Because he didn't know how to win over Sakura Onna after he had won over Sakura Onna.

Therefore, until a definite solution is found, it is something that should not be touched.

"I must say, as expected of the three main characters and heirs of the three families in the original work... they are indeed very difficult to deal with in every aspect." Ishihara Akira sighed with a headache while washing his face and brushing his teeth.

So after much deliberation, the person most suitable for his actions at present has become Hinata, the Crown Princess from the original work!

Although she is protected by clan ninjas, as long as I do not do anything to harm Hinata, as Hinata's former classmate, it is not a problem for me to get a little closer to her!

With the added popularity of her original work, we will then be able to clearly answer whether the AT stance was activated solely due to popularity or a combination of popularity and strength.

"Unfortunately, it's a bit late today. Hinata has already gone home. We'll have to wait until tomorrow to figure out a way to conduct the test."

Of course, if he has the patience, he can wait for Asuma. As a Jonin and a relatively popular character in the original work, Asuma is actually quite suitable as a test subject to be worn down.

……

After washing up, having decided that the next step was to relentlessly pursue Kurenai Yuhi, Ishihara Sho decisively left the apartment and headed to the market to begin his shopping for the day.

Meat, tofu, fish, chili peppers, and other seasonings.

Only after filling a large bag with groceries did Ishihara Akane turn and leave the market, returning to her apartment. She prepared the ingredients in the kitchen, then moved the gas stove and cookware to the balcony. She then lit a fire, trying her best to recreate the dishes she loved to eat in her past life—

For example, Kung Pao Chicken.

For example, shredded pork with garlic sauce.
