My personal opinion on Gensokyo

However, the dark monster Naraku had doubts about this matter.

For fifty years, Naraku, who has been wandering between human society and the monster tribe, has already learned about the information about the Four Souls Jade.

In Naraku's opinion, the incident involving the Four Souls Jade was too complicated.

This Four Souls Jade might even involve the Yokai Commander-in-Chief...

Lord Yuyuko, who is hiding deep in Kyoto, is accustomed to thinking in the way of Kyoto nobles to guess the minds of the commander-in-chief, Princess Wataru, and the guards, and seeks to take the initiative to obtain the permission of the three princes.

Therefore, for nearly two hundred years, Lord Yuyuko of Kyoto has been tirelessly seeking the right opportunity to attack and destroy the dog-demon clan in the western country in order to get rid of the traces of his past.

However, having lived in the aristocratic society of humans for too long, the fox demons of Kyoto have long had their horizons limited.

Lord Yuyuko, who is accustomed to dealing with the monster tribe in the way of the Kyoto court, has a great advantage in protecting himself and seizing power.

After all, human ways of doing things have long been deeply infiltrated into the monster tribes. Over the past hundreds of years, most monsters have been influenced by them and become more and more like humans. This is also the reason why the Kyoto Yuyuko forces, which are familiar with human ways of doing things, have been able to gradually expand their influence in recent years.

Unfortunately, this way of doing things is quite effective for monsters born after the shogunate period, but it is difficult to use for ancient monsters in the Heian period, let alone understand the intentions of the "Princes" of the monster clans.

The Kyoto fox's strategy has its limitations, but Naraku, who is well aware of the darkness between the monster clan and human society, has some understanding of this matter.

The ancient monsters, especially the ancient great monsters and the "Princes" of the monster clan, their own "personalities" far exceed the "rules" of the monster clan.

Lord Yuyuko speculated on the thoughts of Lord Commander-in-Chief based on the way the Kyoto court acted. There was a premise, that is, he believed that the three princes, the Commander-in-Chief of the World, Princess Mianyue, and the Guardian Guard, would take the initiative to maintain the situation of the monster tribe and maintain their own power and status according to human habits.

However, Lord Yuyuko did not realize that the territory, power, and overall situation, which were extremely important to the monsters in the Warring States Period, could hardly influence the decisions of the three princes: the commander-in-chief of the world, Princess Mianyue, and the guards.

Lord Shang Yang, the chief monster commander of the world, is a very tolerant lord among the princes of the monster clan, but such tolerance is essentially the commander-in-chief's very obvious "personality" rather than an external expression to maintain the balance of the monster clan.

This can be seen from the care that the Princess and the Guardian of Kyoto showed to the dog demon clan of the West more than ten years after the dog general Toga was defeated by the commander-in-chief, and two hundred years after the dog general's death.

Fifty years ago, the leopard cat clan that used to occupy the Western Country invaded the Western Country. Yuyuko thought that it was the right time, so he led the Kyoto One Hundred Demons Night Parade to the border between Kinai and the Western Country, ready to invade the Western Country at any time and destroy the Western Dog Demon Clan.

In order to assist the leopard cat clan's offensive, Yuyuko personally went to the residence of the Western Dog Demon Clan to tie down most of the Western Dog Demon Clan's combat forces, including the mother of the Western Lord Seshomaru.

However, fifty years ago, in a battle in the west, Inu no Taisho's eldest son Seshomaru and his second son Inuyasha who arrived unexpectedly, led the monsters who loyally followed Inu no Taisho's sons, repelled the offensive of the Leopard Cat Clan, and forced the Leopard Cat Clan to retreat to the distant land in the west.

On the way, His Highness Watatsuki and His Highness Konoe of Kyoto even arrived at the residence of the dog demon clan in the western country to contain the feathered fox.

It is obvious that the two princes do not want to see the Western Dog Demon Clan being destroyed by the Leopard Cat Clan or the Kyoto Hundred Demons Night Parade.

It was not what Lord Yuyuko of Kyoto thought, that Her Royal Highness the Princess and His Royal Highness the Guardian did not want to see the Western Country fall into chaos and stopped Yuyuko's actions, but it was indeed the two princes who did not want to see the Western Country's dog demon clan being destroyed by Yuyuko's forces.

This wish even came directly from the instruction of His Highness the Monster Commander-in-Chief.

What that Yuyuko-sama didn't understand was that the ancient great monster, whose own personality was clear and not affected by human behavior, was truly forgiving of Inu Taisho who had died hundreds of years ago and the Western Dog Monster Clan after his death. There was no hypocritical forgiveness on his part.

The Supreme Commander of the World has forgiven the Western Dog General, as well as the Western Dog Demon Clan and other Western monsters who followed the Dog General in the past. Princess Watatsuki Yorihime and Princess Konoe Teru will also have the same intention and take care of the Western Dog Demon Clan.

This is also the reason why, for the past two hundred years, the Kyoto Hundred Demons led by Lord Yuyuko have been traveling at night and have never found an opportunity to attack and destroy the Western Dog Demon Clan, which is now strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

Unfortunately, the fox demon master in Kyoto still failed to notice this.

Hiding under the gray and white fur of the baboon monster, the monster crouching in the darkness muttered to himself with some doubt.

"However, although the Commander-in-Chief pardoned the Western Dog Demon Clan and the Kyoto Feathered Fox for their conspiracy hundreds of years ago, compared to the Commander-in-Chief's indifference to the Feathered Fox, His Highness Watatsuki and His Highness the Guardian have shown a slightly restrained attitude towards the Kyoto Hundred Demons Night Parade. The tolerant attitude of these three princes towards the Western Dog Demon Clan, especially towards the Commander-in-Chief's eldest son, Seshomaru, and his second son, Inuyasha, does leave me somewhat puzzled."

"That nobleman from the Western Kingdom, Seshomaru, is a man of great pride, and he has not bothered to conceal his desire to inherit the power and career of the Inu no Taisho, Toga-oh."

"The second son, Inuyasha, is even more incredible..."

In the fifty years since he was born, Naraku, who hated the bondage of the spider ghost and wanted to become a real monster, has intentionally collected a lot of information related to the Four Souls Jade.

While collecting this information, Naraku discovered many unusual things about the Four Souls Jade.

Fifty years ago, Inuyasha, the son of Inu no Taisho and Princess Izayoi, who was rejected by humans and monsters and hated his half-demon identity, also wanted to use the power of the Shikon Jewel to become a real monster. He visited Kaede Village in the remote mountains of Musashi in the eastern country, hoping to seize the Shikon Jewel from the famous shrine maiden who guarded the Shikon Jewel fifty years ago.

The second son of Inu no Taisho, who neglected his training, was completely defeated by the shrine maiden who guarded the Four Souls Jade. After finding it difficult to seize the Four Souls Jade, he lived in a remote village in the mountains for nearly a year in a huff. Although he had been living in peace with the shrine maiden who guarded the village, strangely one day in the winter of the following year, he was suddenly sealed by the shrine maiden and fell into a deep sleep for fifty years. He only woke up again recently.

And the shrine maiden from fifty years ago also died mysteriously after sealing Inuyasha.

It is said that the shrine maiden who had lived in peace with Inuyasha suffered a serious injury after Inuyasha lived in that village for a year. She was seriously injured and sealed Inuyasha before she died to prevent Inuyasha from taking the Shikon Jewel.

This news, spread by the monsters around the village who were eager to obtain the Shikon Jade, was quite credible. In order to further explore the whereabouts of the Shikon Jade after the death of the shrine maiden who protected the Shikon Jade, Naraku disguised himself as an ordinary human and sneaked into Maple Village decades ago to gather information.

Although the shrine maiden of that village died, her younger sister inherited her elder sister's duties and became the shrine maiden of Maple Village.

And during that process of obtaining information about the Shikon Jewel, Naraku learned from the older villagers that fifty years ago, in addition to Inuyasha, the second son of Inu no Taisho who longed for the Shikon Jewel, there had always been a strange young follower beside the shrine maiden who guarded the Shikon Jewel.

The name of the young follower was "Shang Yang".

At this point, the meticulous Naraku can be sure that fifty years ago, the Shikon Jewel, the shrine maiden who guards the Shikon Jewel, and Inuyasha, all had an unknown causal entanglement with the world's monster commander.

Even that despicable wild thief spider might have been involved in this matter during his lifetime.

Before he knew the truth, the cautious and meticulous Naraku was unwilling to get involved in this matter rashly.

"Especially, when it's hard to guess how the world's commander-in-chief views me, Naraku, I rashly dragged myself into the cause and effect of the commander-in-chief."

Naraku, who has been facing the pursuit of the General's creations for fifty years and is unable to determine the true attitude of the Monster General, said this.

The dark monster Naraku, who was born from the fusion of the souls of the spider demon by devouring thousands of monsters, did not obtain many memories of that despicable bandit, but only some residual memory fragments.

But Naraku was sure that when he appeared in this world, the monster commander was near him, and before he was born, he cut off one-third of his flesh with a sword.

Then, the master of the monsters used that one-third of the flesh to create a creature similar to himself.

The little lady who had been obsessed with killing him for fifty years.

"Judging from the little lady who deliberately created a creature solely dedicated to killing me, Naraku, the Youkai Commander undoubtedly loathes me, Naraku."

"But if you simply dislike me, you could just destroy me, Naraku. Why did the commander-in-chief go to the trouble of creating that young lady?"

"Furthermore, that young lady is not endowed with powerful demonic powers. Simply sending her to kill me, Naraku, is not a safe idea and is completely different from the personality of the commander-in-chief."

Faced with the mysterious Youkai Commander-in-Chief deep in the fog, the rational and cautious Naraku always tried his best to avoid the mysteries related to the Commander-in-Chief in the past. However, after the Shikon Jade that disappeared fifty years ago reappeared in the world, Naraku also had a plan.

Sesshomaru wanted to obtain Tessaiga, the sword left by his father Inu no Taisho, so this arrangement was made. A fragment of the Shikon Jewel was buried in it and given to Sesshomaru, which would allow him to hold Tessaiga without being affected by the barrier. The human arm was then given to him, which was the most powerful poisonous insect nest that could restrain the "wind cave" of the mage Miroku's clan.

In this way, the brotherly rivalry between Seshomaru and Inuyasha not only slowed down Inuyasha and his crew's collection of the Shikon Jewel fragments, but also served to test the commander-in-chief's attitude towards Seshomaru, Inuyasha, and the others...

In the deep mountains of the western country under the deep night, the dark monster, covered with the gray-white fur of a baboon monster, hid his tracks and slowly left.

Volume 6: Thoughts Across Time and Space: Chapter 387: Kagome and Her Group

A remote village in the countryside of Musashi, Eastern Province.

After getting acquainted with the wizard Miroku who visited Maple Village, Higurashi Kagome, Inuyasha, Miroku and the little fox demon Shippo set out again to look for the scattered fragments of the Four Souls Jade.

On this day, after leaving the relatively bustling castle town, because the roads in the village were too rugged, Kagome Higurashi, who had previously used the Bone-Eating Well to return to modern Tokyo five hundred years later and specially brought her bicycle for school to the Warring States period five hundred years ago, had to get off the bike and push the bike and walk all the way with Inuyasha and others.

"The roads five hundred years ago were truly difficult to travel on."

The pretty young girl who was still in middle school sighed with some embarrassment while pushing her bicycle.

Miss Kagome Higurashi has been living in the bustling and lively Tokyo's Beika City for the past fifteen years. She is accustomed to the roads in Tokyo. Recently, she has always been able to deeply feel the difference between life in Tokyo five hundred years later and life in the village five hundred years ago. These differences have caused Kagome a lot of trouble recently.

Fortunately, as the eldest daughter of the shrine family, Kagome has been accustomed to taking care of herself since she was a child. Although there were many difficulties in life five hundred years ago, relying on her own efforts and the teachings of Grandma Kaede, Kagome gradually got used to the life five hundred years ago.

Recently, Kagome, who has been asking Grandma Kaede for advice on medicinal herbs, has gradually been able to help Grandma Kaede and the villagers of Maple Village with many things.

"Eh? Is Kagome tired?"

Hearing this, the little fox demon lying in the bicycle frame became worried about Kagome.

"Shall we help you too?"

"It's okay, don't worry, Xiao Qibao."

Kagome replied with a smile in response to Shippo's concern.

"I have good physical strength and good grades in sports at school. Besides, I have Lord Miroku to help me."

"Ms. Kagome, are the roads in the era five hundred years from now very flat and easy to walk on?"

Faced with the beautiful girl's sigh, the gentle young wizard, who held the bicycle with one hand and pushed it together, and took good care of Kagome along the way, couldn't help but ask curiously.

While living in Maple Village, Miroku not only learned that Miss Higurashi Kagome was from the future five hundred years later, but also witnessed with his own eyes the scene of Kagome traveling to the era five hundred years later through the Bone-Eating Well. He was even more curious about Kagome and the future five hundred years later.

"Huh? Ah...that's probably it."

Although she had felt helpless about the harassing remarks and physical advances from the monk Miroku, Kagome was very kind to Miroku and answered with a smile in the face of the attentive care of this young and reliable monk.

"Most roads in Tokyo are like this. Various vehicles drive on the roads, and people also travel this way. It's very convenient."

"Some remote places today might also have rough roads, but I haven't been outside of Tokyo since I was born, so I'm not sure."

"It's amazing."

After hearing the girl's answer, Miroku sighed.

"I heard that Miss Kagome lived in an extremely peaceful and tranquil era. This is really hard for me to imagine. I wonder if there will be a chance to visit that era in the future."

"We also want to visit the era when Kagome lived!"

Upon hearing this, Qibao in the basket also loudly requested.

"Haha, of course you can. Inuyasha can also travel to the future five hundred years later through the Bone-Eating Well. If Miroku and Shippo want to go to my time in the future, I will be the one to receive them then."

Hearing this, Kagome happily agreed.

"I will take Master Maitreya and Little Qibao to have a good time in Tokyo."

"...Tsk! Knowing that your clan's enemies are currently collecting the scattered fragments of the Four Souls Jade, you actually still have the leisure to go to the era of five hundred years to have fun, Miroku, you bastard."

Regarding the lively conversation between the pretty girl pushing a bicycle, the young wizard, and the little fox demon Qibao, the silver-haired dog half-demon with a sour face and his arms crossed in the sleeves of his fire rat fur coat sarcastically said so.

"Think about that wind hole on your hand. If you delay collecting the Four Soul Jades and fail to eliminate your clan's enemy in time, and you are swallowed by that wind hole, I will not save you!"

"Inuyasha!"

Kagome was immediately unhappy with Inuyasha's rude sarcasm and took the initiative to rescue Master Miroku.

"How can you say that? It's so rude!"

"Well, Miss Kagome, please don't blame Inuyasha-sama. Inuyasha-sama is just caring about me."

Faced with the sarcasm of Inuyasha who looked unhappy, the good-tempered Master Miroku did not care, but comforted Kagome instead.

"I really long for the peaceful era that Miss Kagome lives in, so I have been a little lazy. I have to thank Inuyasha-sama for reminding me."

"I will work even harder with Miss Kagome and Inuyasha-sama to collect the fragments of the Shikon Jewel. Once we eliminate the monster that cursed my grandfather and lift the curse on the Wind Cave, I can then safely visit Miss Kagome's time."

"Well, it's a deal then."

Seeing Master Miroku's confident attitude, the kind-hearted Kagome was happy for Miroku and agreed with a smile.

"Inuyasha and I will also help Master Miroku to remove the wind cave curse as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Miroku thanked the smiling Kagome gratefully.

"Thank you so much, Miss Kagome, Master Inuyasha."

A few days ago, Miroku, who had worked with them to defeat the evil painter who had wantonly drawn countless hell monsters with ink and dreamed of becoming a daimyo, witnessed the power of Miss Kagome to purify the fragments of the Shikon Jewel, and also understood Inuyasha's kind nature. He sincerely wanted to join Kagome and Inuyasha in searching for the fragments of the Shikon Jewel. At this time, he felt very relieved to hear the promise of the kind and beautiful Miss Kagome.

"I'm so surprised...tsk."

On the side, seeing that the two were not affected but talked even more friendly, the silver-haired dog half-demon wearing a fiery red fire rat fur snorted again in dissatisfaction, full of contempt.

"This monk is only good at sweet talk."

"By the way, Inuyasha, you have to pay attention to your smell."

Suddenly remembering something, Kagome quickly turned sideways to remind him.

"This time, we have to go out and collect herbs for little Saya's injuries who lives in Grandma Feng's house. You must have memorized the names of those herbs and their smells! Don't miss them!"

"Hmph, leave it to me without worry!"

Inuyasha snorted in even greater annoyance when he heard Kagome's serious expression remind him.

"I won't let go of any suspicious smell. I also want the little girl left at Old Lady Feng's place to recover as soon as possible. Maybe she'll remember some important clues."

"Please rest assured about this, Miss Kagome."

Upon hearing this, Master Miroku also smiled and comforted Kagome, who was concerned about little Saya and almost treated little Saya as her sister.

"Inuyasha-sama has a very keen sense of smell."

"I don't want to be praised by a guy like you."

Glancing sideways at the lecherous mage with a grin on his face, Inuyasha sniffed in displeasure.

"...Hmm, smoke and the smell of food. There should be a village not far ahead."
