Syndication: I was a ninja in the Yokai era

The next day.

The sun rises and dissipates at the time of the devil.

Nanxing and Kikyo emerged from the temporary shelter and continued to the east along the rugged mountain road.

And in three hours, around eleven o’clock in the afternoon, they finally arrived at the destination of this demon eradication trip:

Edo.

Edo Castle is a large city with a population of more than 100,000.

In this era, it is enough to be called “Zhisho”.

In later generations, it had a more famous name.

【Tokyo】.

However, to Nanxing’s regret, he did not have the opportunity to witness the spiritual outlook of this ancient city with his own eyes.

Because Kikyo’s final destination is not Edo Castle.

It is Mount Hakone next to Edo Castle.

“Here we are.”

She stood at the foot of Mt. Hakone and looked up at the majestic mountains.

Nanxing looked around and looked at the mighty lake around him.

【Lake Ashi】.

The mountains are majestic and the blue waves are rippling.

It’s a stunning view.

At the same time, a vermilion torii, hidden between this beautiful landscape and water, adds a touch of mysterious beauty to it.

【Hakone Shrine】.

It is a shrine that was founded in 757 AD and has a history of nearly a thousand years.

Among them, Hakone Daigen, who is enshrined, is the guardian deity of the entire Kanto region.

Therefore, the status of this shrine in the Kanto region is basically equivalent to the status of Izumo Taisha Shrine in Izumo Country.

– That’s a proper ground snake.

But it was in such a shrine that the always faint Kikyo let Nanxing see with his own eyes what it was to be the “chief scoop of the witch world”.

“Lord Sheng, you are finally here.”

Three priests led the way, and dozens of witches armed with Kagura bells lined up in two rows, as if greeting the gods, to welcome the arrival of Kikyo.

Such pomp and circumstance is enough to call it vast. Even if the emperor arrives, I am afraid it will be only that.

However, as if he was commonplace, Kikyo naturally stepped forward and followed everyone into the shrine.

——And it was after this that Nanxing knew.

In this world, a witch like Kikyo who was born with extraordinary spiritual power also has a special title.

[Present God].

……

Nanxing walked into Hakone Shrine with Kikyo.

However, what Nanxing did not expect was that after entering the shrine, the first thing Kikyo had to do was not to ask for information about the youkai.

It’s about bathing and changing.

– It turns out that Kikyo is ultimately a man, not a god.

Not bathing for three days was already the limit she could endure.

Of course, about bathing, Kikyo also has his own saying.

“It’s a necessary ritual.”

This is not only the purification of the body, but also the purification of the soul.

Before the big war, she usually performs such rituals to adjust her condition to the best.

In contrast, the South Star does not need to be so troublesome.

“System.”

“Open the store.”

He began to call his golden finger.

In the next instant, a translucent interface appeared in his line of sight.

The system store is full of products.

From the most ordinary ninjutsu scrolls, to the blood succession limit like the Sharingan, and even ethereal things like the power of the Yang… All in all, as long as there is something about ninjas that appears in Naruto, it has everything.

But, for this price.

“Huh.”

Looking at his shivering balance of 300 taels, Nanxing wisely did not continue to browse.

Instead, he directly pulled the scroll bar to the top and briefly looked at the most basic products.

[Fine shuriken – priced at 50 taels. 】

[Detonator – priced at 50 taels.] 】

[Soldier grain pill – priced at 100 taels. 】

If you think about it, there seems to be no shortage of military food pills.

With Kirito’s current status in the rivers and lakes, it seems that he can follow her, eat and drink for nothing all the way, and don’t have to worry about the problem of sustenance.

So, he bought a fine shuriken and three more detonation charms.

The remaining hundred taels are reserved for emergencies.

“I just don’t know what the monster is this time.”

“Even Kikyo has to be so careful, and it takes such a big Zhou Zhang.”

In the empty room, Nanxing thought silently in his heart while conditioning his chakra.

He’s not stupid.

Hakone Shrine is also considered a shrine in the Kanto region.

Among them, the priests and witches, even if they are bad, are not far worse.

And even they can’t solve it, and they have to ask Kikyo to get rid of the demon youkai… No matter how you think about it, it can’t be an ordinary youkai.

“Wouldn’t it be a big youkai?”

Nanxing silently speculated.

And it was at this time.

“Click-”

The door opened.

A wisp of incense hit, messing with people’s thoughts.

Nanxing subconsciously opened his eyes.

It was found that it was Kikyo, who had just finished bathing, standing in the doorway, looking at him with a flat look.

The goddess came out of the bath, her hair was slightly damp, and the sun shone on her body, as if covering her with a veil.

“Okay.”

“Let’s go.”

……

This is a special exorcism tour.

“The enemy is not very strong, but he is very alert.”

“If there are too many people, it is easy to startle the snakes.”

Kikyo explains.

Therefore, she politely refused the kindness of the priests and witches, and only brought Nanxing.

They leave the shrine and follow the edge of Lake Ashi, heading for the way they came.

After walking for about an hour, they came to a river.

A delicate small bridge appeared in front of Nanxing.

“This time the youkai is called Hashimohime.”

Just like usual.

Before removing the monsters, Kikyo will introduce the origin and characteristics of those monsters to Nanxing.

“It is a kind of yokai formed by a woman who jumps from a bridge into the water to commit suicide because she is obsessed with others and cannot be with her beloved.”

This is undoubtedly a pathetic monster.

But their strength is also strong.

Demons born of resentment are born with relatively strong power.

And, more importantly. Compared to ordinary youkai, they also have precious sanity.

That’s scary.

Capable and brainy. Quick-witted, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard – no wonder the priests of Hakone Shrine are helpless, so they can only ask Kikyo to help.

“So, what are you going to do?”

Nanxing asked curiously.

He believes that Kikyo will never be untargeted, and after politely refusing the requests of others, he only invites himself out.

She must need her own help.

Kikyoto has nothing to hide about this:

“I need your help, stand on the bridge, and help me lure out that youkai.”

“Then, I’ll treat it.”
