All Heavens: Transcending Dimensions Starting with the Uchiha

"Brother, why aren't you saying anything? Just say the word and the brothers will follow you..."

While Hojo Ujiyasu was still speechless at the thought that his younger brother was out of his mind, Hojo Tamemasa leaned in again and continued to encourage him.

"When Hojo Akito heard about the yokai, he rushed off to find someone. How could someone from a branch family understand the main family's heritage?"

"Perhaps he's already dead at the hands of a monster?"

"Brother..."

Hojo Tamemasa spoke with great enthusiasm, his encouraging tone quite evident.

"idiot!"

Now that things have come to this point, it would be unreasonable for Hojo Ujiyasu not to give some response.

However, Hojo Ujiyasu's reaction was somewhat beyond Tamemasa's expectations.

Instead of agreeing with Hojo Tamemasa's point of view, he picked up a riding whip and lashed it across Hojo Tamemasa's face, who had made great contributions.

He was smoking while cursing angrily.

"You bastard! Lord Hojo Akitoki is working hard for the prosperity of our Hojo family. How can we let the great opportunity for the rise of the Hojo family be missed because of our own selfish desires?"

"Does that mean if we sit in that position, we can lead the Hojo clan to conquer the world?"

"The most important thing for a person is to know themselves!"

Hojo Tamemasa, who was being whipped and screaming, was completely bewildered.

No, I'm speaking up for you, brother!

Besides, we're brothers, okay?

Am I wrong to recommend you as the head of the Hojo clan?

Hojo Tamemasa, who was clutching his head, suddenly lost his temper and sprang into action, snatching the whip from Hojo Ujiyasu's hand and roaring.

“We are the head of the Hojo family, and the position of head of the family should naturally be inherited by us.”

"Otherwise, how will we face our ancestors a hundred years from now?"

"Hmm, as if I'm not a descendant of the Hojo family?"

Suddenly, before Hojo Ujiyasu could continue his angry rant, Uchiha Sho, who had returned from outside, walked in with his men.

He never expected to hear such a good show as soon as he got back!

It seems my predecessor was a bit too kind.

"Family Governor..."

Seeing Uchiha Sō's cold expression, Hojo Tamemasa, who had assumed he had died at the hands of a demon outside, suddenly knelt down on the ground with a "thud".

At this moment, Hojo Tamemasa was like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw Uchiha Sō, as if he no longer had the courage to yell at his brother.

What's even more ridiculous is that he not only knelt on the ground, but his legs were also trembling, and his head was buried very deep.

It's laughable to think about!

At this moment, Hojo Ujiyasu felt utterly exhausted.

He was stuck with a reckless younger brother, and then this ambitious and talented patriarch overheard his "treasonous" remarks. He couldn't possibly watch the patriarch kill his own brother.

Moreover, this place is quite a distance from the main camp gate.

Logically speaking, there should have been many of his trusted confidants along the way, yet none of them were notified in advance of the patriarch's arrival.

Think carefully!

Hojo Ujiyasu immediately knelt down and pleaded with Uchiha Sō.

"Please, Master, forgive my petty offense and spare my life, considering the great contributions I made in this battle!"

Faced with this cunning yet magnanimous patriarch, Hojo Ujiyasu could only pray that the other party would spare his life out of consideration for his younger brother's military achievements.

"Oh dear, everyone, get up! We're all members of the Hojo family, no need for such a grand gesture!"

Looking at the Hojo Ujiyasu brothers kneeling before him, Uchiha Sō decided to let them "learn a lesson".

After all, he didn't have much time to waste on the so-called "power struggles" within the family.

So, although he said nice things, he didn't actually make any move to help the two of them up.

He walked past the two of them and sat down in the main seat.

Seeing this, the Hojo Ujiyasu brothers broke out in a cold sweat and glanced at Akechi Mitsuhiro and the others who had returned with Uchiha Sō.

They discovered that these warriors had become even "stronger" than when they left, a result of their increased confidence in their spirit and energy.

Moreover, they all looked at Uchiha Sō with admiration.

Hojo Ujiyasu quickly kicked his younger brother, signaling him to apologize and bow his head.

After calming himself down, Hojo respectfully spoke.

"Master, I just came down from the battlefield, and my blood was boiling. I lost my mind for a moment."

“If you want to punish someone, then punish me. I won’t complain.”

Uchiha Sho glanced at Hojo Tamemasa in surprise, not expecting that this guy actually had some sense of responsibility.

However, that makes sense. This guy is someone who fought his way up on the battlefield, so it's normal for him to have some courage and fighting spirit.

"Hmm? Is that so?"

Uchiha Eiji smiled and nodded, then squinted and sized up Hojo Tamemasa.

This guy is burly and strong; he's a rare talent and a capable general.

It's a bit of a waste to kill him like this.

Moreover, the other party was the son of the previous head of the family and the younger brother of Hojo Ujiyasu. Killing him would be detrimental to his continued rule over the Hojo family.

Why not take this opportunity to bring them under our control and unify all the forces of the Hojo clan?

The "knife" hanging in the air is the most terrifying thing, isn't it?

As Uchiha Eizo pondered, the atmosphere inside the tent gradually fell silent, becoming increasingly heavy.

The Hojo brothers felt as if every second was an eternity.

"Haha, it's nothing, it's nothing. After all, we won a battle, and it's understandable that we're all fired up."

"However, having only martial prowess without wisdom will only make you an unknown general... Weichang... you still need to learn more from your brother, understand?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Uchiha Sho burst into laughter and had Akechi Mitsuhisa help the two of them up.

Seeing Uchiha Eiji pick it up heavily and put it down gently, the Hojo brothers were extremely grateful and also put away their own inappropriate "little thoughts".

"Thank you, Master. I will keep a close eye on Weichang from now on."

After Hojo Ujiyasu stood up, he immediately made a promise to Uchiha Sō.

“Ujiyasu, I just heard outside that there are still many things about our Hojo family that I don’t know, especially when it comes to dealing with yokai…”

After dealing with Hojo Tamemasa's matter, Uchiha Sō became quite curious about the "foundation" of the Hojo clan mentioned in his words.

Hojo Ujiyasu looked at the "powerful" samurai who had returned with Uchiha Eizo, and his initial restless desire died completely.

Although we don't know what they went through, it must be no small feat to elevate the spirit of the already elite Hojo clan samurai to a new level in such a short time.

It was even comparable to the Battle of Kawagoe.

"My lord, because the ceremony for Li to succeed as head of the family had not yet been held, the Battle of Kawagoe occurred, and some matters concerning the foundation of the Hojo clan have not yet been handed over..."

Chapter 250, The Human Nobles' Trump Card in the Fight Against Monsters

Faced with Hojo Ujiyasu's explanation, Uchiha Sō became even more interested.

"I knew it! Since our Hojo family has been able to stand strong in this era, there must be a way to deal with yokai!"

"This is my fault."

Hojo Ujiyasu was a wise man who knew when to back down and immediately took the blame upon himself.

"Regarding dealing with monsters, every long-established family has its own deity to worship, and there are also powerful monks, onmyoji, and priests within the family's territory."

"When encountering a powerful demon causing trouble, the Onmyōryō, a special agency directly under the general, will come to exorcise the demon as appropriate..."

After listening to Hojo Ujiyasu's explanation, Uchiha Sō finally understood why the human living environment was not greatly affected by yokai during the Warring States period.

It could even be said that humans still hold an absolute dominant position.

"I see. I was really ignorant."

Uchiha Sō waved his hand with a smile, signaling the Hojō Ujiyasu brothers to step back.

He naturally took over the enemy's main tent, which was also the main position of the army.

After all, now that he's back, the Hojo family should naturally respect him.

"My lord?"

After the Hojo Ujiyasu brothers left, in front of everyone, Akechi Mitsuhisa's eyes flashed with a chilling light as he made a throat-slitting gesture.

“Mitsushu, since you are preparing to spread your martial arts throughout the world, you should naturally have the magnanimity and spirit to serve the people… Don’t take the Hojo Ujiyasu brothers too seriously!”

Uchiha Elephant possesses "absolute power," so naturally he wouldn't be afraid of two small fry causing any trouble.

"A deity to worship? A deity to whom incense is offered? Or a demonic deity to whom the gods are sealed?"

He was actually quite interested in this kind of being who hardly appeared in the original Inuyasha manga.

However, considering the unlucky river god that Inuyasha and his friends would soon encounter, Uchiha Sō felt that they were probably "not a threat."

"It seems that the most urgent task is to defeat that tiger!"

……

On a moonlit night, at the other end of the Musashi Plain, in the Allied Forces camp.

At this moment, Takeda Shingen, known as the Tiger of Kai, was staring intently at the distant, faintly visible castle.

"Lord Shingen, you truly live up to your title of 'Tiger of Might'! Under your leadership, the Hojo army during the day is nothing but a cowardly turtle!"

"I believe that under your command, in a few days we will be able to capture Kawagoe Castle, defeat the army under that Kirin, and defeat the Hojo clan."
