The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

"You bastard, let me go if you dare! We're going to fight!" Yuri Itagaki yelled.

"If you're so capable, break free yourself," Ishihara Akira said with a smile, straightening up.

"Yuri, what's wrong?" Mai Shiranui quickly walked over and asked.

"Can't you see, Mai? I'm entangled by a giant tree that suddenly appeared," Yuri Itagaki replied.

"A big tree? What big tree?" Mai Shiranui asked, puzzled.

"Wait...right, this is clearly your yard, how could there be such a big tree here?" Realizing what had happened, Yuri Itazaki frowned and vigorously circulated her internal energy...

When in doubt, use a burst of energy to clear the way!

The next moment, accompanied by a rather violent force erupting from Yuri Itagaki's body, Yuri Itagaki regained control of her body.

This time, however, Yuri Itagaki did not launch an attack rashly. Instead, she moved to Mai Shiranui's side and asked in a low voice, "Mai, who is this guy?"

"According to him, he's a ninja from a clan called the Hokage-ryu, so his fighting style is rather unpredictable. He's skilled at using ninjutsu that's similar to magic, but I don't know much more than that. After all, I only met this guy last night," Mai Shiranui replied in the same soft voice.

"Then why is he bothering you?" Yuri Itazaki asked again.

"He wants me to be his wife and have his children," Mai Shiranui said angrily, a smirk playing on her lips.

"Uh..." Yuri Itazaki also paused, unsure of what to say.

"By the way, where are your brother and Robert?" Not wanting to dwell on the matter, Mai Shiranui changed the subject. "My brother and Robert went to Europe and are busy promoting the Kyokugenryu style. But I've already called them, and either my brother or Robert will be back by tomorrow morning at the latest to help you with your problem."

"Thank you."

"You're too kind, aren't you?"

"Are you done talking? If you are, I'm going to start attacking." At this moment, Ishihara Sho reminded him with a smile.

Chapter 652 Arrives in Succession

"Come on!" Yuri Itagaki didn't mince words and immediately took a stance, calling out.

"Alright, look where you are. Even if you want to fight, wait until he's ready first." Seeing this, Mai Shiranui quickly grabbed Yuri Itazaki's arm and advised her.

She's not blind, and she can tell that Yuri Itagaki is no match for Yui Ishihara. Otherwise, why would she be so easily stunned by just one look?

So let's let her calm down first, and then discuss how to resolve the issue of Ishihara Akane after all the other friends have arrived.

"By the way, Yuri, have you had breakfast?"

"I was worried about your safety, so I rushed over here as soon as I got up. I haven't eaten yet," Yuri Itagaki replied, rubbing her stomach.

"Then let's go back inside and sit for a while. I'll go prepare breakfast, and then we'll talk about his business," Mai Shiranui said immediately.

"Fine. You're lucky." Yuri Itagaki sneered at Sho Ishihara.

Afterwards, Mai Shiranui took Yuri Itagaki and Shou Ishihara back into the house. After pouring them a glass of water, she went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for herself, Yuri Itagaki, and Shou Ishihara.

"Are you a ninja?" The two, left in the room with nothing to say, stared at each other for a moment before the more lively and energetic Yuri Itazaki couldn't stand the atmosphere and asked.

"Yes."

"So when you were fighting me just now, you were using ninjutsu, right?" Yuri Itazaki continued to ask.

"Which one are you referring to?" Ishihara Sho asked rhetorically.

“It’s the move that bound me,” Yuri Itazaki replied.

"Yes, it's a genjutsu in ninjutsu, the Illusionary Tree Binding Kill."

"Tree-bound death? So, if I can't break free, I'll be killed?"

"Given your condition at the time, if I had attacked you, do you think you would have had any chance of survival?"

"No, I don't think so." Yuri Itagaki shook her head frankly.

"This is the meaning of the word 'kill' in Tree Binding Kill. It requires me, the caster, to personally take action. Otherwise, you will only be imprisoned in place and will not be in much danger. Of course, this refers to when you are in Mai's dojo. If you are outside, it may not be the case."

"..."

"Why did you let Mai become your woman?" After a moment of silence, Yuri Itagaki asked again.

Ishihara Akira didn't hide anything and brought out the same excuse he had used to fool Mai Shiranui.

"What era are we living in? Why are you still so old-fashioned? If this continues, even if your generation is fine, the next generation, or the generation after that, will not be able to find suitable marriage partners, causing your Hokage clan to be wiped out." Yuri Itagaki said with a sneer.

"Those things can be changed later. As for now, I still intend to follow tradition and choose an excellent woman from a distinguished ninja clan or school to be my wife, so as to lay a solid foundation for my descendants' cultivation," Ishihara Akira said calmly.

"But as you can see, Wu doesn't agree to this at all."

“I know, otherwise you wouldn’t have received her call and rushed over. This is my last chance for Wu. If any one of the people she brought can stop me and defeat me, I will agree to give up my resistance and give Wu her freedom. Otherwise, I’m determined to marry Wu. No matter who tries to stop me, I will fight them to the death.”

"You!" Yuri Itagaki felt that Ishihara Sho was somewhat unreasonable, so she glared at him angrily and then fell silent again.

However, he didn't sit for long before he stood up from the tatami mat because he didn't want to see Ishihara Akira's face, and ran to the kitchen to talk to Mai Shiranui.

……

Then, around noon, the other helpers who had received Mai Shiranui's request for help also arrived at the Shiranui Dojo.

"Mai-nee!" Accompanied by a clear and pleasant shout, Athena, dressed in a JK uniform, her follower Kensou, and their guardian and master Chin Gentsai entered the dojo.

"Miss Dancer!" Following her were Kim Kap-pan and his apprentices—Cai Baoqi and Zhang Juhan.

As for the others—

For example, KING, Itagaki Ryo, Robert, Andy, and Terry are either in the U.S. or in Europe. Even if they buy plane tickets and rush back immediately after receiving the call, it would still take more than ten hours. Otherwise, Itagaki Yuri wouldn't have said that her brother or Robert would arrive by tomorrow morning at the latest.

Mai Shiranui warmly led everyone into the house and sat them down in the reception room.

After exchanging tea and pleasantries, Athena spoke first, asking, "Sister Wu, you said you encountered trouble, but what kind of trouble is it...?"

"Look, it's this guy." Before Mai Shiranui could speak, Yuri Itazaki looked at Ishihara Sho, who was sitting cross-legged not far away and seemed a bit out of place, with a disgruntled expression.

"Hmm?" Jin Jiapan and the others cooperated by showing expressions of confusion.

After all, if trouble comes knocking on your door and you're not kicked out, it means this trouble really is quite troublesome.

At least that's true for Mai Shiranui.

Then, Yuri Itazaki, acting like a kind-hearted girl, told everyone about the relationship between Mai Shiranui and Shou Ishihara.

"So, Miss Wu hopes we can defeat him and stop bothering you, is that right?" Kim Kap-pan said seriously.

As a righteous person, he despised those scoundrels who coerced others, especially women, to achieve certain goals!

In terms of the degree of his crimes, he was not even as bad as the two disciples he was supervising and reforming.

At least, their evil was out in the open, achieved through destruction. Although there might be accidental injuries or even direct casualties, the judgment was simple. But Ishihara Akira's side was torturing people mentally. In terms of the degree of evil, Cai Baoqi and Zhang Juhan were far inferior to him.

"That's just how it is," Mai Shiranui said helplessly.

"Is there anything special about that boy? Even an excellent fighter like you couldn't handle him." After hearing the whole story, Chin Gentsai asked, getting straight to the point.

Although Mai Shiranui is a female fighter and not particularly strong, compared to all fighters in the 95 King of Fighters tournament, her strength is considered to be in the middle range. She is not much worse than Yuri Itazaki or Kaho Kaneshiro present, and she is more mature than inexperienced youngsters like Athena and Kensou. However, even such people cannot solve their own problems, which shows how difficult Ishihara Shou is to deal with. If you rush in rashly, you may not be able to handle her.

Upon hearing this, Kim Ga-pan, who was about to get up, paused and sat back down to look at Mai Shiranui.

"He is a ninja, a ninja who possesses strange ninjutsu or magic. His fighting style is extremely unpredictable, and because the energy system he uses is different from ours, the methods we usually use to sense enemies are basically ineffective against him. Therefore, it is easy for him to seize an opening and launch a successful sneak attack..."

“I can vouch for that,” Yuri Itazaki interjected.

After all, Yuri Itagaki hadn't been idle while waiting for them to arrive. Not believing in bad luck, she took the initiative to spar with Akira Ishihara, and was then easily defeated by him in just a few moves.

This is the real reason why she dislikes Ishihara Sho.

Chapter 653 Two Clowns

"Old Cai, why don't you give it a try?" After listening to Mai Shiranui and Yuri Itagaki's stories, Jin Jiapan said to his disciple Cai Baoqi, the short and sleazy guy in the game.

"Yes, Master." Although this guy was a villain, he still showed Jin Jiapan considerable respect.

Of course, disrespect was also unacceptable, because he couldn't beat Jin Jiapan. So, if he made even the slightest mistake in manners, Jin Jiapan would reprimand him and beat him if he didn't listen. So, over time, he learned to be shrewd and knew that it was better to be obedient on the surface. As for resistance or dissatisfaction, he could keep it to himself...

For example, when training disciples at the Kim Giapan Dojo, they might use harsh methods.

Jin Jiapan couldn't say anything more.

Then, Choi Bounge stood up and walked to the opposite side of Ishihara Akira.

"Kid, I heard you're pretty good. I don't believe it. I'm going to test you now. If you don't want to die, show me your strength." After saying that, Cai Baoqi ignored Ishihara Akira's reaction and charged towards Ishihara Akira at lightning speed, his hands clasped together.

In terms of momentum and attack, they really didn't intend to hold back.

"Tsk." Ishihara Sho clicked his tongue in disdain upon seeing this, then flashed behind Cai Baoqi, clasped his hands together, and spat out a huge fireball that went straight after Cai Baoqi.

Cai Baoqi's technique was outdated and he couldn't dodge it, so he could only watch helplessly as the fireball from the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, which couldn't even hit a person in the Naruto world, crashed into his body.

"boom!"

Flames exploded, and Cai Baoqi was sent flying like a rag doll. He landed, tumbled, and like a monkey whose bottom had been scalded, quickly extinguished the flames enveloping his body.

Clearly, although he was infected, he did not seem to have suffered any serious harm.

That makes sense. If they can't even withstand or defend against this kind of attack, what will they do when facing other players, especially Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami's flames, in the King of Fighters tournament?

Why don't you get a new skin for every match?

He won't regenerate at an excessive speed.

Seeing this, Ishihara Akira didn't hold back and instantly stepped forward, kicking Cai Baoqi's body.

Because of the fire on his body, Cai Baoqi's reaction was not fast enough, and he was immediately kicked in the stomach by Ishihara Yu. His body flew backward like a cannonball until he crashed into a wall, even breaking the wall, before finally coming to a stop...

Then Ishihara Akira took a step and walked step by step toward Choi Bounge, who seemed to be vomiting blood.

Since he hasn't fainted yet, it means he hasn't lost the ability to resist, so just keep attacking.

"You're quite resilient, but why persist? You know, the power to step over ants without killing them is very difficult to master. You don't want to die here because of a tentative move, do you?" Ishihara Akira approached, speaking in a detached tone with an indifferent gaze, much like Aizen's, as if looking at all things equally.

"Bastard! I'm going to kill you!" Cai Baoqi said angrily.

He then braced himself up and suddenly unleashed his inner energy, causing his body to spin rapidly. A huge tornado quickly rose up within the Shiranui Dojo, tearing through the air and buildings, and roared towards Ishihara Sho, who was only a few meters away from him.

At this moment, Ishihara Sho stopped in his tracks, and with a sudden burst of energy from his chest, a blurry, visible cloud of air shot out of his mouth, colliding with the tornado created by Choi Bounge like a cannonball.
