The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

The high-ranking members of the Roman Catholic Church stood around, looking at each other, unsure how to handle the situation.

"From this moment forward, I am the Fire of the Right!" Ishihara Akira declared without further ado, directly in front of the people of the Left.

Before the words had even finished, a vast spiritual force spread out, enveloping the minds of everyone present. With its mind control ability, it altered their perception of the world and of him, fundamentally replacing Right Flame and making him the true Right Flame.

Chapter 648 The King of Fighters

"Sigh, I haven't done anything else in these past few worlds but have been in seclusion." In the new world, Ishihara Sho, standing outside a spatial partition, looked at the barrier in front of him and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Let's leave aside the world of A Certain Magical Index. Because of the Demon God's authority, he can stay at home in the Phase, since he can still profit from it and use the power of the A Certain Magical Index world to shape the Origin Seed...

Although the shaping effect wasn't very good—

After all, the Origin Seed is the seed that can give birth to a vast world. Although the world of A Certain Magical Index has a cosmic worldview, due to the power of phases, the status of this vast world is very weak. Therefore, the quality of the Origin Seed created is much worse than that of the real Origin Seed.

However, it's better than nothing, so it can be considered as a barely complete set of the 84,000 stars and constellations of the Zhou Tian Star Array.

Then the Seven Treasures Tree was further enhanced.

Having improved himself and other aspects, Ishihara Akane's mission in the A Certain Magical Index world was basically completed.

So after leaving behind a clone to continue serving as a coordinate in the world of A Certain Magical Index and to allow the world to rewind and restart, Ishihara Shou decisively went to the new world—the world of Code Geass.

This world is even worse; although it shares the same cosmic worldview, it lacks magic...

Let's assume there's no magic involved. When Ishihara Sho's main body entered, the world was thrown into turmoil, forcing Ishihara Sho to create another clone to carry out the action.

Fortunately, conquering Lelouch's world is quite simple; once you enter the C world, you've essentially acquired it.

So after entering Lelouch's world, Ishihara went directly to the Britannian Empire, entered the palace, and from there he could access the Twilight Mansion of the C World. After that, the operation was simple: he directly corrupted the entire C World with magic, changing its name and appearance to resemble his. That would complete the conquest of Lelouch's world.

Therefore, Ishihara Shou did not stay here for long. After finding CC and asking her to continue to help lead the Order and suppress the rebels in the Order, he set off again and came to the world in front of him - the King of Fighters world!

This time, however, he was not ostracized.

After all, the world of King of Fighters has a planetary consciousness like Orochi.

Although his strength might not be particularly high, his status was sufficient to accommodate a Taiyi Celestial Immortal like Ishihara Sho. Therefore, after some effort, Ishihara Sho found Orochi's sealing space—

"I remember that the planetary consciousness of this world seems to have been divided into several parts, including the giant serpent, the holy spirit from a distant land, and the dragon soul within the country... It seems that it will take a lot of effort to gain complete control of the world..." Ishihara Sho muttered.

On a whim, he separated a portion of his thoughts and magic power to create a temporary clone of himself, which he then threw back to Tokyo. Without further hesitation, his main body tore through the barrier in front of him and entered a pitch-black space that seemed like a chaotic void or a cosmic sea. There, he transformed into a celestial demon and began to track down the great serpent.

……

"This situation seems so familiar..." Upon arriving in Tokyo, Ishihara Sho looked up at the sky and thought to himself as he contemplated the situation before him.

Isn't this just a repeat of the situation in the world of A Certain Magical Index?

The main body does big things and big work in a special field, while this clone helps the main body realize some of its dirty little desires and satisfy its spiritual needs—that is, to seduce the female characters it likes.

"I wonder what year the King of Fighters is in this game."

Then, Ishihara Yuu took a step and blended into the crowd.

He quickly figured out the current era—

96 years.

Furthermore, the promotion for the King of Fighters tournament is already underway, which means that in just one or two months, King of Fighters '96 will officially begin!

Of course, Ishihara Shou had no interest in participating in the King of Fighters tournament; he'd rather use that time to find Shermie's whereabouts.

"It's a pity that Mature and Vivian are already dead, otherwise we could have started with them first," Ishihara Sho sighed inwardly.

Mary should have already contacted Terry by now, right?

Although they may not have officially become a couple, they have definitely become friends.

There's no need to say much about Mai Shiranui; after all, it's an engagement made since childhood. If you want to break it, you have to do it by force. He doesn't have the time or the inclination to try to subtly win her over.

Yuri Itagaki has Robert by her side.

KING probably already has feelings for Ban Qi Liao.

After all, it's 96 now, and her brother Jin should have already been arrested by then.

Lian doesn't like fat old men...

This flavor is truly bizarre.

Athena is a celebrity and not easy to approach, especially with her master and Kensou by her side.

I don't know much about Toudou Kaori, but I remember she was a brother complex person and dressed very conservatively. I don't have much of an impression of her, so it doesn't matter if I pass on her.

So after all is said and done, it seems like only Chizuru Kagura is the one I can get...

"Kagura Chizuru? Hmm, the Three Sacred Treasures, the target is easy to find, but to get in touch with her, I need an introduction. So, after thinking it over, I still have to start with Mai Shiranui."

With that in mind, Ishihara Akira didn't hesitate any longer. He immediately grabbed a few passersby, and after finding out the location of the Shiranui Dojo, he headed straight there.

……

Although there were no smartphones or online navigation in this era, with the guidance of a living person, Ishihara Akira still easily found the location of the Shiranui Dojo.

It was quite lively, with many people practicing basic stances and postures inside.

Clearly influenced by Mai Shiranui's fame, or perhaps attracted by her alluring appearance, many people signed up to learn the so-called Shiranui-ryu martial arts after the '95 King of Fighters tournament ended.

Although many people were kicked out by Mai Shiranui during this period, quite a few were left behind.

Given her appeal to other women as a female fighter, it's no surprise that the Shiranui-ryu Dojo would become quite lively.

Without disturbing the students practicing their forms inside, Ishihara Sho activated his invisibility and, guided by his consciousness, vanished from everyone's sight, like a ghost. He swaggered into the dojo, entered the back quarters—where Mai Shiranui usually rested—found a room where someone was moving around, and placed the hastily made note on the wooden tea table where tea was still served.

"I have long heard that the Shiranui school has a long history and is a famous family in the ninja world, holding the reins of the modern ninja world. I am not convinced and will come to challenge you tonight at midnight. I hope that Lord Shiranui can be prepared and fight with all his might to fulfill our wishes. — Ishihara Sho, a ninja of the Hokage school."

Subsequently, Ishihara Akira decisively left the Shiranui mansion and disappeared into the vast sea of ​​people.

Chapter 649 Combat Agreement

At midnight, around 11 p.m., Ishihara Akira suddenly appeared in the backyard of the Shiranui Dojo. He saw Shiranui Mai, who had changed into her battle attire and presented her classic game character. Like the head of a powerful family in ancient Japan's Sengoku period, she was not at all shocked by Ishihara Akira's strange appearance and calmly drank the tea in her hand.

"Ishihara Sho, a successor of the Naruto lineage, greets Miss Shiranui." Ishihara Sho didn't stand on ceremony. After exchanging a perfunctory greeting with Mai Shiranui outside the house, he went straight inside and sat down opposite her.

Mai Shiranui didn't say anything, but picked up an empty cup from the side and poured a cup of tea for Ishihara Sho.

"The ninja way of the Naruto school?" Mai Shiranui asked, puzzled.

In any case, none of the materials she investigated during the day contained any information about the Naruto clans.

It must be some unknown small ninja clan, right?

He was probably one of those desolate ninja clans that didn't seek allegiance to a daimyo during the Warring States period, or whose daimyo was killed and annexed, and whose new daimyo didn't value or trust them, and thus failed to be subdued by Hattori Hanzo.

I never expected that there would be a successor who would live to the present day and take up the tradition again.

“A small ninja clan,” Ishihara Akira said with a smile.

"So what brings you here today?" Mai Shiranui didn't dwell on Ishihara Sho's origins, but instead asked about his purpose.

"Just as mentioned in the previous message, we are somewhat displeased with the Shiranui school's dominance over the modern ninja world and wish to challenge them. By the way, we would like to use the outcome of this duel as an opportunity to propose marriage to you, Miss Shiranui Mai." Then, before Shiranui Mai could speak, he immediately added, "Of course, this is assuming I win. If we lose this duel, not only will what I just said be null and void, but we will also offer up the ninjutsu of our Hokage clan as an apology."

"I wonder if Miss Shiranui agrees?"

"Sparring is no problem. Whether you're from a ninja clan or a regular fighter, as long as you come to me seeking guidance in a normal way, I won't refuse. But as for marriage... I'm already engaged," Mai Shiranui said, shaking her head.

"We've heard of him, right? He's that guy named Andy from the Fatal Fury crew?"

"Since you know this, why did you still..."

"However, we have also heard that although Miss Shiranui is very insistent on the engagement, Mr. Andy seems to be very resistant to it and has been trying to escape the constraints of the engagement for several years. In our opinion, Mr. Andy is not a man worthy of entrusting one's life to. If Miss Shiranui is in a difficult position, we can talk to Mr. Andy on your behalf and ask him to let go, or we can use our ninja methods to make Mr. Andy leave you."

"Even so, that's between us, and it has nothing to do with you, an outsider." Hearing Ishihara Akira's evaluation of Andy, Shiranui Mai said in a low voice, somewhat displeased.

"Only if you can defeat me in tonight's duel," Ishihara Akira said calmly.

"I said, sparring is fine, but nothing else. I don't need the ninjutsu inheritance of your Hokage lineage, and you shouldn't use the outcome of a duel to demand that I marry you."

"But Miss Shiranui, you should also know that this is impossible. Because the ninja clans of today have long lost the soil for their inheritance due to the changes in society. Only schools like our Hokage-ryu that adhere to tradition, or the Shiranui-ryu that have transformed themselves and integrated into modern society, still have a legacy. Finding a suitable marriage partner with your strength is already very difficult for us. Therefore, regardless of whether you agree or not, Miss Shiranui, I will insist on this matter."

"Even... if Miss Shiranui continues to refuse us, we wouldn't mind following the example of ancient mountain bandits and using force to capture you and take you home to be my wife."

"I've really been underestimated. You're so confident that you can get a hard time with me?" Seeing Ishihara's arrogance, Mai Shiranui's pride was ignited, and she stared at Ishihara opposite her with a displeased sneer.

"To be honest, Miss Shiranui, as of now, among the world's top fighters, it seems that no one is my match," Ishihara Akira said with a smile.

"I don't believe it!" Mai Shiranui said, standing up as she pressed down on the coffee table.

Because of her posture—bent over—Mai Shiranui's Noble Phantasm appears even more majestic and alluring.

“We will tell you to face reality, Miss,” Ishihara Akira said, standing up as well.

"Let's go outside and find an open space, so that we don't make too much noise and destroy the dojo."

"Come with me." Mai Shiranui thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case, so she didn't refuse. She called out and took the lead in leaping out of the dojo and moving towards a nearby open space suitable for fighting.

Ishihara Shō used his Body Flicker Technique to catch up...

Since they've already adopted the name "Naruto Style," they can't just use magic and martial arts to fool people anymore; they can only fight using ninjutsu from the Naruto world.

However, the ninjutsu he now uses is far beyond what the ninjas in the Naruto world can compare to. It has long been transformed into magic and supernatural powers. If Mai Shiranui is not careful, she will be caught off guard and suffer a crushing defeat.

……

The two moved quickly, and soon they arrived at the edge of an inland river, a common sight in Japan. The area was surrounded by non-slip grass, and a little further away was a pedestrian overpass. Because it was late at night, the place was very quiet. There were no people or animals, let alone street thugs or biker gangs. There weren't even any streetlights, only simple starlight illuminating the area.

If it weren't for the fact that both of them possessed the basic ability to see in the dark as if it were daytime, and that ordinary darkness wouldn't affect their movements, the situation at the scene would also not have been suitable for them to use as a battleground.

"Alright, let's choose this place." Mai Shiranui stopped and turned to face Ishihara Akira.

Are you ready?

“Of course, Miss Shiranui, you can begin your attack at any time,” Ishihara Akira said, standing still.

"I've been wanting to say this since earlier. 'Miss Shiranui,' 'Miss Shiranui' sounds too strange. Please just call me by my full name, Mai Shiranui, or Mai, like everyone else. I'm more used to it that way." Mai Shiranui didn't immediately launch an attack, but instead pleaded with Ishihara Akira.

“Then I’ll be rude, Miss Mai,” Ishihara Akira replied.

"That feels much better." Mai Shiranui exhaled and then assumed her battle stance from the game.
