With Inuyasha awakening the Tessaiga, the troublesome human joining forces, and the priestess interfering, he cannot guarantee that he can seize the Tessaiga without killing them.

This is contrary to his original intention!

"……snort."

Sesshomaru let out a cold snort that was hard to decipher, filled with deep resentment and complex emotions.

He took one last deep look at Inuyasha, who was gripping the Tessaiga tightly and seemed to have been reborn, and then glanced at Uchiha Sō, who held his sword like a pine tree.

"Boring."

The two cold words were uttered, as if evaluating the battle, or perhaps suppressing the turmoil within.

He didn't look at Jaken or the imposter "Izayoi" again.

"Young Master Sesshomaru! Wait for me!"

Jaken screamed in terror and scrambled after him, dragging the chains with him.

The silver-haired nobleman's figure transformed into a streak of silver light under the moonlight, and with his injured arm and a heart full of complex emotions, he resolutely disappeared into the vast night.

All that remained was devastation and three exhausted but miraculously standing young people.

Uchiha Enoki slowly sheathed his sword, his gaze deep as he looked in the direction Sesshomaru had disappeared.

He knew this was just the beginning. That proud great demon would never give up the Tessaiga so easily, nor would he forget everything that happened tonight.

As for Inuyasha… he looked at the half-demon boy leaning on the giant Tessaiga, whose injuries were being anxiously examined by Kagome, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

After tonight, this idiot will finally be on his own path.

The Hojo soldiers erupted in cheers of relief as they rushed toward their lord and two comrades who had fought valiantly.

Morale, after the lowest point of despair, was reignited to its peak by this indomitable fight and miraculous comeback!

Chapter 248, everything reeks of "cannibalism".

"My lord, my lord..."

After the battle ended, Mitsuaki Akechi and the others rushed up immediately, their faces filled with admiration and joy.

"Guangxiu, we have won this battle!"

Uchiha Sho naturally understood that to build an unparalleled army, he needed to bring them victory after victory.

This is to instill a strong military spirit in them.

As the leader of this invincible army, he naturally had to demonstrate his strength and courage to ensure their loyalty.

"Oh yeah!"

Hearing that even Sesshomaru, a nearly invincible great demon, was defeated by their "lord" in front of them.

Akechi Mitsuhisa and the Hojo army immediately cheered loudly.

"Tch, I was the one who repelled them!"

Looking at Uchiha Sho, who was surrounded by everyone and announcing the good news, Inuyasha pouted and muttered something under his breath, feeling a little jealous.

"Inuyasha!"

Kagome, who was standing nearby, was speechless upon hearing this.

If it weren't for you, the other party wouldn't have met your "good older brother," okay?

After all, the other party was helping you, so you shouldn't be so petty about such a "small thing".

Besides, do you think you can defeat Sesshomaru on your own?

Don't you have any self-awareness?

"Humph……"

Although Inuyasha has a strong sense of pride, he is not ungrateful.

However, seeing Kagome so "protecting" the other party, he felt inexplicably displeased.

As the man and the dog stared at each other, their gazes seemed to spark.

On the other hand, Uchiha Sō's goals for this trip—to explore the extraordinary systems of this world and determine the energy levels—have been achieved.

So, after briefly bidding farewell to Kagome, Granny Kaede, Inuyasha, and the others, he prepared to return home.

As for the actions of the "main characters" later on, Uchiha Sho felt that they should just let things take their course.

After all, for him, whether it was collecting the Shikon Jewel or establishing a powerful human kingdom, it was all just a way to create a stable passage between the Inuyasha world and the Great Heaven.

Of course, we'll take whichever road is easier.

However, he is currently prepared to try both paths.

Anyway, Kagome and the others will definitely go to collect the Shikon Jewel in order to "save the world," so he just needs to pay attention and wait.

However, the path of establishing a powerful human nation, gathering human "luck," and influencing the will of Heaven with the nation's humanitarian will is one that he himself must undertake.

……

Meanwhile, on the Musashi Plain, far from Maple Village.

The battle between the two sides in Kawagoe has undergone dramatic changes over time.

Because of Sesshomaru's "passing by," the Takekawa clan's army, an important part of the Nitta-Takekawa allied forces, suffered heavy losses and its morale was shattered.

This gave the Hojo clan, who were already on the defensive due to Uchiha Eiji leading a powerful army, a much-needed respite.

Because Uchiha Sō replaced Hojo Akitoki, he greatly enhanced the overall strength of the Hojo army through "science and technology," making it far stronger than in history.

This is why the Hojo clan, which should have been in a weaker position historically, is now on par with the allied forces.

Unfortunately, Uchiha Elephant's "descent" was ultimately too short-lived, and he immediately rushed to Maple Village.

Therefore, upon receiving the news, Takeda Shingen, the Tiger of Kai, immediately mobilized his entire army, preparing to defeat the Hojo clan's forces ahead of schedule.

Fortunately, Hojo Ujiyasu, the head of the Hojo clan in history, was quite capable. He also received advance instructions from Uchiha Sō and some advanced firearms left behind.

This temporarily halted the allied forces' siege!

In the timeline without the arrival of Uchiha Eboshi, the Battle of Kawagoe was one of the three great surprise attacks of the Sengoku period in Japan.

The Nitta, Takekawa, and Uesugi families amassed an army of 80,000 to besiege Kawagoe Castle belonging to the Hojo clan.

Through the mediation of Takeda Shingen, the Hojo clan relinquished the land east of the river and ceased their struggle with the Takekawa clan.

This led to Hojo Ujiyasu's brilliant surprise attack.

In this world, the arrival of Uchiha Eboshi triggered a butterfly effect, which forced Takeda Shingen, the tiger, to personally intervene.

"Brother, the army of Kai no Tora has retreated."

Hojo Tamemasa, who had retreated from the front lines, removed his helmet, which was soaked with sweat, and spoke to his older brother, Hojo Ujiyasu.

"Ok!"

Hojo Ujiyasu nodded, looking at his younger brother who had been fighting for a long time ahead, and the bloodstains all over his body. He breathed a sigh of relief and put aside his worries about his brother's safety.

Because of the Hojo's further strengthening of its military power and the destruction of the Takekawa army by a passing great demon, Takeda Shingen had no choice but to take a desperate gamble!

He led his Nitta army and the arriving Uesugi army in a fierce attack.

They seemed determined to achieve their goal no matter what.

Thanks to careful planning, the Hojo clan held their ground in the castle, and the Uchiha clan's numerous new firearms were enough to withstand the enemy's attack.

"Hmph, in my opinion..."

Hojo Tamemasa scooped a bowl of raw water from the water tank next to him and drank it while complaining.

“Our Hojo clan should be headed by you, elder brother. What right does that collateral branch member Hojo Akitoki (Uchiha Sō's Deva Path clone) have to be the head of our Hojo clan?”

"He's clearly the one who caused this situation?"

"He actually abandoned the Battle of River Gorge and went to find some shrine maiden to fight the great monster?"

"I think these are all excuses. It's obvious that this guy is scared, so he left us here to take the fall..."

"Shut up!"

Hojo Ujiyasu was initially worried about whether his younger brother was injured, but after hearing the other's complaints, his expression changed drastically.

After looking around and confirming that everyone present was one of his trusted confidants, Hojo Ujiyasu's anger still did not subside.

"Wei Chang, have you forgotten our Hojo family motto—to unite in the name of the nation?"

"Moreover, the Hojo family's development in recent years, how could they have left Prince Akito and even defended Kawagoe Castle, all because of the firearms he left behind."

"You must not be disrespectful to His Highness Qiu Shi..."

Hojo Tamemasa listened, still looking unconvinced, and casually sat down, waving to his brother.

"Tch, brother, we're all on the same side here, stop pretending."

"You truly had no complaints whatsoever about your father passing the family headship to you."

"You should know that before he appeared, you were the one recognized by our Hojo family as the next head of the family."

Upon hearing this, Hojo Ujiyasu took a deep breath. He didn't know if his younger brother was genuinely indignant and standing up for him, or if he had other ideas.

However, it's impossible that Hojo Akitoki was afraid.

When this guy personally met with me before leaving, he had already foreseen the current situation.

Although it is unknown what the other party bases their judgment on, this accuracy in predicting the future alone is enough to make Hojo Ujiyasu "completely convinced"!

He felt that Hojo Akitoki, whom he had met recently, had become more dignified and imposing.

He also believed that, under the other party's leadership, the Hojo clan might actually be able to conquer the world.

Moreover, does one really believe that someone who speaks of benevolence and righteousness is truly a virtuous person?

Whether it was when Hojo Akitoki came to power or the new firearms he commanded the Hojo family craftsmen to make, they all revealed the word "cannibalism".

If he were to listen to his younger brother and, given his current overwhelming victory, attempt to force the emperor to abdicate, he would surely be the one to die.
