My personal opinion on Gensokyo

"However, I do have a way to help Lord Seshomaru regain the Tessaiga that you long for day and night."

"Well, Lord Seshomaru, would you mind listening to me explain in detail?"

PS1: The first order per day was about 1,200. I thought it would be 2,000. Let go of yourself and keep going. (Distant Eyes)

PS2: I have found a way to post free chapters, but the preview of that chapter with a lot of information will have to wait a few chapters. After all, the emotions in these chapters are relatively coherent, and it would not be good to interrupt everyone's emotional development in the middle.

Volume 6: Thoughts Across Time and Space: Chapter 384: Naraku's Actions

The noble young man of the Western Dog Monster clan did not show any subjective emotions regarding the opinions raised by this strange figure whose purpose was unknown and who was hiding under the broad fur of the baboon monster. He remained indifferent and said nothing.

"Sesshomaru-sama~!"

It was at this moment that, accompanied by a weak shout, the short monster, Jaken, a retainer of the young master of the Western Country, Seshomaru, who was leaning on a cane with two old heads carved on the top, came panting and staggering from the back mountain road to catch up with his master Seshomaru.

However, when the short monster, who was exhausted from traveling, suddenly discovered the strange figure who was staying beside Lord Seshomaru, wearing a large baboon monster fur, with his head hidden and his tail exposed, the loyal retainer Jaken was shocked and immediately raised the human head stick in his hand, ran a few steps to Lord Seshomaru, and shouted loudly.

"You bastard! How dare you block the way of the honorable Lord Seshomaru? Get back now!!!"

However, just as Xie Jian loyally and loudly rebuked this strange person, the cold order of the noble young master of the Western Country came from behind the loyal retainer.

"Xie Jian, back off."

"Eh? Ah, yes! Lord Seshomaru!!!"

The loyal servant, feeling somewhat bewildered by his master's cold and strange orders, had no choice but to hold the human head staff and retreat behind the nobleman of the Western Country. He looked doubtfully at the despicable villain in front of him who dared to block Lord Seshomaru's way.

After Danmo ordered his loyal retainer Xiejian to retreat, the noble young man from the Western Country spoke in a cold tone.

"What do you want to say?"

Hearing the indifferent question from the noble young man from the Western Country, Naraku, who was hidden under the large monster fur, revealed a mysterious smile on his face hidden under the monster skull mask, and spoke lightly without haste.

"Sesshomaru-sama, you seem troubled by the loss of your left hand."

"If you don't mind, please try this."

As he said this, the dark monster hiding under the baboon fur raised his hands, holding a left arm that was wrapped in a faint evil aura and seemed to have just been torn from a human body, and handed it to the nobleman from the Western Country.

Seeing this suspiciously despicable fellow pull out a strange arm from under the fur of the baboon monster and present it to Lord Seshomaru, Jaken also carefully examined this strange stump that looked very much like a human arm... Wait, isn't this a human arm?!

"Hey! You damned bastard! You actually brought an ordinary human hand to fool Lord Seshomaru?!"

When the loyal servant Jaken discovered that the suspicious guy covered in baboon fur actually held out an ordinary human arm, he immediately felt that he and Lord Seshomaru had been fooled by this despicable guy and was extremely angry. He couldn't help but jump out again and sneered with contempt.

"Foolish fellow! The arms of such weak races as humans cannot withstand even a trace of Lord Seshomaru's demonic energy. I'm afraid that the moment this arm comes into contact with Lord Seshomaru's noble and powerful body, it will be corroded by Lord Seshomaru's demonic energy and turned into debris!"

"Before you came, Lord Seshomaru had already taken the arms from powerful monsters such as Aoki. However, without exception, even the arm of the most powerful monster, Aoki, was destroyed because it could not withstand Lord Seshomaru's terrifying demonic power!"

"After all, this is only natural. Lord Seshomaru's magnanimity is beyond the reach of the weak arms of those little monsters..."

"...Shut up, evil."

Just as the loyal servant Xie Jian was chattering incessantly out of pride, the silver-haired nobleman from the Western Country spoke indifferently, stopping the loyal short monster from chattering any further, and instead waited indifferently for the explanation of the strange figure hiding under the monster's fur.

If this person's explanation cannot satisfy the nobleman of the Western Country, then there is no need for him to live anymore.

"No, this retainer is quite right."

Naturally, he affirmed Jaken's words praising Seshomaru, and there was a hint of deep respect in Naraku's tone while he was hiding.

"An ordinary youkai's arm is naturally unable to withstand the might of Lord Seshomaru, let alone a human's arm. However, Lord Seshomaru, a fragment of the legendary Shikon Jewel has been embedded in this human arm. I believe that the fragment of the Shikon Jewel is still barely enough for Lord Seshomaru to use."

"I heard that the Tessaiga, left behind by your father, Inu no Taisho-sama, is a sword that protects human life. A powerful monster like you can't wield that sword, right? However, if you have this human arm..."

Naraku, who was hiding under the fur of the baboon monster, did not finish the rest of the words, but what he wanted to say was already very clear.

"……I see."

Seshomaru stared blankly at the strange figure before him, his tone indifferent.

"So, you're planning to use me to kill Inuyasha?"

"Right on my mind."

Facing the young master of the Western Kingdom who had seen through his true purpose, the dark monster who had been hiding was remarkably calm.

"Hah?! You're so bold and rude, you despicable fellow!!!"

Upon hearing the intention of this despicable villain in front of him, who made him very unhappy, that he actually wanted to use Lord Seshomaru, Xiejian could no longer suppress his anger and shouted angrily.

The loyal servant's scolding was interrupted.

Just when Xie Jian wanted to try to use the flame of the human head stick to burn this despicable guy with evil intentions to ashes, the indifferent words of the silver-haired Western nobleman made the loyal retainer speechless.

"...Interesting, why?"

"It's just some reasons. If Inuyasha continues to stay here, it will bring considerable obstacles to me."

"And, surely this is what Lord Seshomaru wants now? If Inuyasha can be eliminated, I will naturally offer you a generous gift that will surely please Lord Seshomaru."

"For example, some interesting information about the lord currently hiding deep within Kyoto's Heian Palace."

"……I see."

Although he heard the information revealed in the words of this strange and sinister person, the noble young man from the Western country did not seem to care and his tone remained indifferent.

"I'll take this arm."

"And one more thing."

Seeing that this indifferent nobleman from the Western Country was willing to accept the human arm with the fragments of the Four Souls Jade buried in it, Naraku, who was hiding under the fur of the big baboon monster, was not surprised either. It seemed that he had already expected that Seshomaru would take the arm.

Then, the dark monster took out a brown and yellow spherical object from under the fur of the broad monster again.

It looked like a nest of some kind of flying insect.

"This nest will surely be helpful to you as well."

"...Naraku?"

Accepting the insect nest presented by this strange man who seemed to have ulterior motives, the nobleman from the Western country repeated the name that the strange man in the fur of a baboon monster had just voluntarily reported, his tone still indifferent.

"I'll remember this name."

PS1: The Big Dog group is actually very interesting, and it will be even more adorable after Xiaoling joins.

Volume 6: Thoughts Across Time and Space: Chapter 385: Corresponding Plans

The noble and elegant young man from the West with long silver hair casually took away the human arm and insect nest presented by the strange man wearing the fur of a baboon monster, and gradually walked away.

The loyal little retainer trotted after his master Seshomaru, glancing at his silent master in front of him, but he couldn't feel at ease, so he cautiously whispered a reminder.

"...Sesshomaru-sama, please allow me, my evil mind, to offer you a word of advice. That fellow hiding under the baboon's fur is truly a despicable fellow. For Seshomaru-sama to accede to his obviously ill-intentioned request is truly..."

"It doesn't matter."

Faced with the concerns of his loyal retainers, the young master of the Western Kingdom with long silver-white hair did not turn around, but spoke in a rare calm tone.

"Although this person is merely using me, Seshomaru, he has also offered a method to retrieve Tessaiga."

After saying this, Seshomaru did not explain any further, but continued walking away without saying a word.

...The fact that he could actually hint at the Yuyuko in Kyoto means that this person might actually know some information about Yuyuko... whatever.

In this way, you can go find Inuyasha and take back Tessaiga, your father's relic.

The young master of the Western Country, who is accustomed to defeating and killing enemies with powerful force but also possesses extremely high wisdom, thinks this way.

Faced with the threat of the terrifying Kyoto demon Yuyuko, Seshomaru, the eldest son of Toga, the overlord of the Western Kingdom hundreds of years ago, and the young master of the Western Kingdom's dog demon clan who inherited his father's Western territory, is increasingly eager to obtain his father's relics so that he can have enough power to withstand the hostility of his father's old enemies.

Inuyasha is a weak guy and it is really difficult for him to inherit the power of my father. If we allow him to continue to act recklessly, the situation of our clan will be extremely dangerous. Even if my father finds out, he will definitely agree with my actions, Seshomaru.

The noble and elegant young man from the West with long silver hair made this decision.

Far away in the mountains.

Watching the silver-haired nobleman from the West and his entourage leave, the dark monster hiding under the wide fur was thinking secretly.

...The chess pieces have been placed. Although the nobleman from the Western Country is extremely arrogant, he was forced to do this due to the threat of the great monster Yuyuko from Kyoto. He agreed to this matter even though he knew that I, Naraku, was using him.

Although the Western Dog General and Kyoto Feather Fox, who rebelled against the Youkai Commander hundreds of years ago, were able to retain their original territories and status due to the forgiveness of the Youkai Commander, the rebels who plotted rebellion in the past still feel uneasy.

Among them, Yuyuko, who has been reincarnated as a nobleman and a lady many times, secretly manipulating the Kyoto court and has been influenced too much by human ways of doing things, will feel extremely uneasy.

If he wants to prove his loyalty to the commander-in-chief, he needs a suitable "letter of allegiance".

The most appropriate "pledge of allegiance" is to completely destroy the Western Dog Demon Clan that still occupies the Western Country after the death of Inu Daisho, so as to prove to His Highness the World Commander-in-Chief, Her Highness Princess Mitsuki, and His Highness the Guardian of Kyoto that Kyoto Feather Fox and its Hundred Demons Night Parade forces are completely different from the Western Dog Demon Clan that initiated rebellion in the past, and they will be loyal to His Highness the World Commander-in-Chief and are willing to destroy all evil-minded monster forces for His Highness the Commander-in-Chief.

In this way, Yuyuko, who has been influenced too much by human behavior, will feel at ease and will not have to worry about being liquidated by the extremely talented and powerful Princess Watatsuki Norihime one day.

The dark monster, who has been born in the human world for fifty years and is accustomed to manipulating strategies, has long been familiar with the affairs of the monster clan.

The dark monster thought so.

Although the actions of Lord Yuyuko are too human, they are still a feasible approach.

If we conquer the dog demon clan of the western country, Princess Watatsuki Norihime in Kyoto will understand Yuyuko's "loyalty" and probably won't be too harsh on her.

In other words, from the perspective of Lord Yuyuko, who is familiar with the Kyoto court, although Princess Mianyue is the favorite concubine of the commander-in-chief, due to this rare favor, Her Highness Mianyue has some of the commander-in-chief's authority and can decide matters related to the monster tribe on his behalf.

However, Princess Mianyue is ultimately a subject of the Commander-in-Chief, and the gap in status is insurmountable. Her Royal Highness the Princess relies on serving the Commander-in-Chief to gain the blessing of the Commander-in-Chief's authority and her power grows day by day, but she must always pay attention to her status as a subject and actively maintain the Commander-in-Chief's authority.

The commander-in-chief forgave the dog general Toga who launched a rebellion hundreds of years ago. This is the commander-in-chief's kindness and magnanimity. This will not undermine the commander-in-chief's authority, but will make the monsters admire the commander-in-chief's magnanimity even more.

But for Her Highness Mianyue, it means something different. As the Marshal's concubine and subject, Her Highness Mianyue must maintain her aversion to the Western Dog Demon Clan and the Kyoto Feathered Fox forces that have rebelled against the Marshal in the past.

This principle also applies to His Highness, the Guardian of the Commander-in-Chief, who is also a subject of the Commander-in-Chief.

If Kitsune Yuyuko takes the initiative to attack and destroy the dog demon clan of the Western Country after the death of Inu no Taisho, it will not only prove to the monsters of this country that the monster clans that disobey the commander-in-chief will only be completely destroyed, but also prove that the commander-in-chief's forgiveness of Kitsune Yuyuko hundreds of years ago was a great "judgment of people", and Kitsune Yuyuko and her Kyoto Hyakki Yagyo forces have "repented and returned to the right path", which will become the achievement of Princess Watatsuki and His Highness the Guardian of Kyoto's rule, and will be appreciated by the two princes.

After that, Yuyuko's Kyoto One Hundred Demons Night Parade will erase all traces of the past and become a force loyal to the world commander-in-chief, allowing it to usurp power in this chaotic Warring States period, secretly control the Kyoto court, and influence and manipulate the country.

This is probably the plan of Lord Yuyuko and his Kyoto One Hundred Demons Night Parade forces.

"This is truly a plan that is very characteristic of that Yuyuko-sama."

The dark monster who presented a human arm and a nest of poisonous flying insects to the noble prince of the Western Kingdom expressed such emotion.

"...I presume that centuries ago, you planned this very thing and launched a minor rebellion against the Supreme Commander of the World."

"Master Yuyuko, you are truly...stupid."

"Although I am still just a weak half-demon, in my opinion, your plan is too inferior."

Naraku, the dark monster who also knows human nature well, mocked the Kyoto fox's strategy with a contemptuous tone.

Yuyuko was too familiar with the politics of the Kyoto court, but forgot that those were just the rules of conduct for fragile humans and a means to maintain the overall stability of aristocratic society.

For hundreds of years, the concept of hierarchy in human society has deeply penetrated into the society of monsters, causing too many monsters to forget the ways of monsters and clumsily imitate human society. On this land, various forces of the Hundred Demons Night Parade with clear hierarchy have been established, serving the generals of the Hundred Demons Night Parade just as fragile humans serve those in power.

Monsters born before the shogunate period would not act like these ridiculous monsters from the Warring States period.

The demon princes who were great demons in ancient times would never do this.

When he was born into this world, the half-demon, the dark monster Naraku, possessed the characteristics of both humans and monsters. After fifty years of contact with human society and monster groups, he became extremely sensitive to the differences between the two groups.

Monsters were born in the distant past. Although humans may have existed at that time, they were just a barbaric tribe that ate raw meat and drank blood.

Gods and monsters were originally born from the depths of the essence of all things. They are the incarnations of all things in the human world. They have the same roots and there is no distinction between high and low in essence. It is only after being observed by spiritual life that they acquire their true appearance.

After the emergence of human civilization, gods and monsters, who were the incarnations of all things in the world, gained the respect and fear of humans, and differentiated into two groups: gods and monsters. Gods and monsters, who were born from faith and drew power from faith, are only a special phenomenon that has gradually appeared in the past thousand years.

If we regard temporary phenomena as eternal and unchanging things, it is just a mediocre idea.

Naraku, a dark monster who knows the relationship between humans and monsters well, would naturally not do so.

PS: Yesterday's two chapters were the complete end of the previous chapters. From this chapter on, I'm heading down a path I never imagined. Careful readers should have noticed the difference. From this chapter on, I'm going to let myself go. (laughs)

PS2: I hope to maintain the original character's personality while adding some aspects that can better reflect their personality and characteristics, the temperament of the original characters, and the different situations and corresponding thoughts that the original characters have to face with the addition of the protagonist Shang Yangjun as a variable.

PS3: If I stick to the plot entirely, I won't disappoint readers, but I'll feel a bit regretful, and it might also make the story less enjoyable for readers. This is just an experiment, to see if I can come up with something new five years from now. (Distant Eyes)

PS4: Therefore, the first to bear the brunt are the original protagonist Inuyasha and his crew. What they will encounter is the dark monster Naraku, who is less concerned about the heart of the spider demon (of course, his essence is still a half-demon), more cold-blooded and rational, and more adept at manipulating the variables brought by Shangyang.

Volume 6: Thoughts Across Time and Space: Chapter 386: Naraku's Trial

Fifty years ago, after the death of the despicable Nozomi Gotoku, his filthy and corrupted soul devoured and fused with thousands of monsters to create the dark monster Naraku. Naraku is unable to escape the entanglement of Gotoku's soul and is still a very special dark half-demon.

Naraku, who hates the arrogant, ignorant and despicable wild thief Onigumo, longs to break free from the shackles of Onigumo's soul and become a true dark monster.

If he could obtain the Shikon Jade, which contained terrible evil thoughts, Naraku was confident that he could use the dark evil thoughts of the Shikon Jade to transform into a true dark monster.
