[with card] Hirasaka Strange Story
Chapter 6 Part 6 Betrayal
The samurai standing behind Lin drew his sword back.The light of life disappeared from her eyes, and the girl swayed slightly in place before falling forward.This action was infinitely slowed down in Obito's eyes, until she fell to the ground, bounced slightly and then fell down again.The spreading blood stained the grass red, the color seemed to be glowing with fire, and it burned his eyes sorely.
——I will always watch the heroic posture of you guarding the capital and His Majesty!
"Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Obito put his hands on his eyes, and let out an inhuman cry of grief and anger from the depths of his throat.With him as the center, an invisible air wave suddenly exploded, rushing in all directions, causing people to stagger and stand unsteadily.Onmyoji's shoulders, sleeve tails, robe corners, and the black-haired Onmyouji's body burst into flames, and the air was twisted by the extremely high heat, but he was not injured at all.
Lowering his arms, Obito stood up.Now everyone could see his face clearly—the eyes were as red as blood, and the three black jade jades were slowly rotating around the pupils.No one has ever seen such a pair of eyes with their own eyes, but the eerie and ominous pattern has been passed down to this day along with the strange stories of the ghosts walking in the night as early as thousands of years ago. It has become a lingering symbol of terror, deeply engraved in On the land of Kyoto.
"This...how is this possible?" The first person to break the dead silence was the fox demon.She detached from Rin's body and floated in mid-air, looking at Obito in horror. "As an onmyoji, you actually belong to the Uchiha clan... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"
Her words turned into heart-piercing screams halfway, and she fell from the air to the ground, wailing and struggling in pain.However, no matter how she beat her, the flames burning all over her body still did not go out, sticking firmly to her body like tarsal maggots.After a while, the fox demon who was still charming just now turned into a twisted mass of coke.
Averting his eyes from the charred corpse, Obito looked over the crowd, and landed on the pale-faced emperor who was guarded by layers of warriors at the end, with murderous intent in his eyes.
"I'm going to kill you," he said.
"Protect Your Majesty!" Major General You Guard drew out his knife and shouted.
It sounded like a switch had been flipped.The courtiers screamed and fled in all directions, while the warriors drew their swords one after another, ignorantly attacking their new enemy.The samurai who followed the lord's order just now also rushed up, ran towards Obito, and was about to step on the arm of the girl he had killed.
Accompanied by a heart-piercing wolf howl, a huge white wolf appeared out of thin air, squatting in front of its master.Obito's mutation was also reflected in its body, its eyes were as red as burning coals, its four claws stepped on the flames, and its tail turned into a ball of fire.It roared and jumped at the murderer, tearing the opponent apart easily, and the splashed blood fell on the surrounding people, hot as magma.
Shocked by this excessively cruel scene, the samurai involuntarily slowed down.The white wolf didn't give them time to react, and rushed headlong into the crowd, screaming as its claws passed, and the burning man rolled helplessly on the ground, and the small courtyard suddenly became a purgatory on earth.
In the center of purgatory, a half-demon with fully awakened blood stood there, staring coldly.
"Let... release the arrow!" The emperor turned pale and backed away again and again.There are only two exits from the small garden, both of which are now blocked by flames rising from the ground.If you want to leave here, you must defeat Obito. "kill him!"
General Right Guard personally bent his bow and set his arrow, aiming at the black-haired youth.The bow string gradually stretched into a full moon, and the arrow was about to fly out of his hand, when Obito suddenly turned his head to look at him, and the three-pointed jade in his eyes twirled rapidly.The moment their eyes met, General You Jinwei suddenly froze in place as if he had been cast with a hold technique; his eyes were wide open, and the eyeballs almost protruded, as if he had seen some extremely terrifying scene.
"Uh... ho ho..." He let out an inarticulate and frightening voice, and then, as if all the bones in his body had been taken away, he collapsed on the ground and died out of breath.
At this time, the white wolf's killing also came to an end.There were very few people standing in the yard, and the entire army of warriors was wiped out, lying on the ground in disorder like the palace people who failed to escape.Even Guangzhu fell under a charred cherry tree, dead long ago.
Fiery gas was ejected from the nose, and the white wolf approached the emperor step by step.The latter tripped over the corpse and fell to the ground in a panic. He didn't even care to get up, and continued to retreat with his hands and feet in a state of embarrassment.
"Woo—" Shikigami let out a threatening growl from between his fangs, and with all his hind legs, he rushed towards his prey.
"Come... come and protect me!" the emperor shouted, his voice changed due to extreme fear, "Who will come—"
His screaming stopped abruptly the moment a white figure came into view.
boom!
The white wolf slammed into the invisible barrier, bounced back and took a few steps back, shaking his head frantically.Purple ripples spread out layer by layer, and the square enchantment array gradually revealed its shape, firmly protecting the emperor from all directions.
It's Kakashi.The silver-haired onmyoji stood in front of the emperor, with his right hand in a mudra on his chest, and a piece of burning talisman between his raised fingers.The white wolf began to attack the barrier, roaring and scratching the barrier with its paws, the flames on the talisman paper also followed without wind and seemed to be extinguished at any moment.
Kakashi's face became paler, but he still gritted his teeth, refusing to back down.
"Get out of the way." Obito looked at him who was struggling to support indifferently, his eyes were extremely strange, as if he was looking at some completely different race, "otherwise I will kill you too."
"..." Kakashi remained silent.He stared at those eyes, and could no longer find any familiar warm radiance from them.The person standing in front of him was indeed Obito, but Kakashi could hardly believe that he was his lover who embraced him every night and fell asleep.
Kakashi could feel that Obito's spiritual power and demon power were in a state of extreme confusion, and the two were mixed together without distinction.Although he has only been in contact with Obito, a half-demon, he also understands that this is absolutely impossible to be a normal situation.
"Wake up, Tobi!" He shouted with the last hope, "Do you know what you are doing now? Don't cause more serious disasters!"
Obito ignored it.He pulled out a blank talisman paper from his sleeve and held it between his fingers as well. "Just wanting to stop me like this, you are too naive, Kakashi."
The way he said Kakashi's name was like the two of them were strangers who had never met.As soon as Obito's voice fell, the talisman paper seemed to have been burned by flames, and scorched black winding characters appeared automatically.
Seeing this, Kakashi's face changed slightly.
Obito's expression turned sharp. "I warned you!" He shouted, throwing the talisman paper out.
The Four Purple Flame Formation is indeed a powerful barrier against monsters, but it is vulnerable to the spiritual power of the Onmyoji.The talisman paper fell on the four purple flame formations, and the entire barrier suddenly vibrated violently; in the end, only a soft sound of "flutter" was heard, and the flame of the talisman paper in Kakashi's hand was extinguished, and the whole paper turned into powder, rustling landing.
At the same time, the barrier shattered.
The spell was broken, and Kakashi was naturally backlashed, he backed away with a muffled grunt, his face as white as paper.However, the white wolf rushed over at this time, and his swift movement brought up a gust of wind, which briefly blew away the flames, revealing the sharp claws wrapped in them.
It's too late to summon shikigami or cast spells.You can't dodge it either. If you let it kill the Emperor here and now, the consequences will be unimaginable——
The sharp pain stopped Kakashi from thinking.The white wolf's claws ran across his face, leaving a scar across his left eye.Under the influence of Obito, this shikigami has completely turned into a monster. The scorching monster energy eroded into Kakashi's body along the wound, dyeing half of his vision blood red, and gradually became blurred.
Run away... take the soil...
His lips moved silently, and the silver-haired Onmyoji fell to the ground, unconscious.At the same time, Obito, who had been watching with cold eyes, suddenly seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, his body trembled, and he staggered and knelt down.
Even without being spoken aloud, the power of a true name cannot be underestimated.The flames were extinguished, and Obito hunched his body and hugged his head with both hands; the white wolf who was walking towards the emperor also stopped, and the former stared in horror at the beast that was close at hand, not even daring to take a breath.
The small courtyard suddenly became extremely quiet, and only the sound of people running and shouting for firefighting outside could be heard, as if it was from another world.
After an unknown amount of time, Obito finally raised his head again.He was panting heavily, sweating like rain, his eyes were still bright red, but they were no longer as cold as before, and he seemed to have finally recovered his sanity.He looked around, his eyes flicked over the corpses all over the place, and finally fixed on Kakashi's body, propped his hands on his knees, and slowly stood up.
"Don't...don't come here!" The emperor yelled in fright.
Obito turned a deaf ear.The white wolf turned back to him, the flames on his body had been extinguished.Obito picked up Lin, carefully placed it on its back, walked over to pick up Kakashi, and carried it on his shoulders.From the beginning to the end, he did not cast half a look at the Emperor.
Holding a spell between his fingers, he whispered, "Dun."
A gust of wind suddenly picked up on the flat ground, and one man and one wolf quickly disappeared among the swirling leaves.
--------
In just one night, the matter of Chengxiang Palace spread rapidly throughout the entire Heian capital like a raging fire.From officials to civilians, everyone was shocked by Obito's true identity. Hearing that he had stayed in Kyoto after the incident, everyone was in danger. He would kill at will on the street.
The image of the Uchiha clan passed down from generation to generation in Kyoto is precisely the horror and brutality.
While panicking, everyone couldn't help but start to wonder: This turmoil started when the daughter of the Fujiwara family asked a fox to possess her body to confuse the emperor, and turned with the killing spree of the yin and yang head disciple in the imperial palace, and how it will end in the end Woolen cloth?
According to gossip from the palace, the Emperor fainted after Obito left that night, and did not wake up until noon the next day.Thinking of the fright and humiliation he had experienced before, the emperor, who had always been pampered and respected by no one dared to disobey him, couldn't help becoming angry. He immediately sent troops to surround Yinyangliao heavily, and hurriedly summoned Minato to return to Kyoto, ordering him to personally kill the demon inner kite, and to defeat the meritorious deeds. crime.
As for Obito, he didn't go anywhere. After finding a secluded place in the outskirts to bury Lin, he returned to Yinyang, carried Kakashi into the bedroom.Hearing about Chengxiang Palace, no one else dared to bother him, and hid away from the closed door; the outside world had already turned upside down, but he, the person in the center of the storm, was quiet.
Obito can't get any information about what's going on outside, but he can guess at all.But he can't just walk away, once he escapes, the emperor's anger will not be vented, and Kakashi and Minato will surely be harmed.
Now he can only place his hopes on Minato, hoping that his master with great powers can find a perfect plan to help them tide over the difficulties.If he is really desperate, he has also made up his mind to pay his own life. The matter was caused by him, and the teacher and Kakashi must not let the teacher and Kakashi suffer with him.
Kakashi has been groggy for the past few days, has been suffering from a low-grade fever, occasionally wakes up and is completely unconscious, and his exposed right eye is slack.Obito sent the white wolf to guard for the time being, and went to the kitchen of the Yinyang House to get enough pastries and water, and came back to feed him mouth to mouth.His appearance made everyone in the dormitory feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy. The samurai held their swords, and the onmyojis held their spells tightly, but no one dared to attack.It is no exaggeration to say that it takes a lot of courage to stand upright in front of those dangerous eyes without retreating.
On the night of the fifth day, the door of that bedroom was finally opened again.
Obito turned his head, and as expected, he saw Minato standing at the door, dusty and serious.
"Follow me." His eyes withdrew from Kakashi in Obito's arms, and fell back on the face of the black-haired disciple.
Obito didn't move.
"I've already ordered that no one will disturb him." After Minato said, he turned and walked away, as if he knew he would definitely follow, "Let's go to another place to talk."
The two walked through many corridors and came to a very remote room.Few people use it here, and it is empty, with particles of dust floating in the air.There were two cushions on the tatami, and Minato signaled Obito to sit on one of them, while he himself sat on the other.
"The emperor is furious. There is no room for change in this matter." After both of them were seated, Minato said straight to the point.He looked very tired, his eyes half closed, and he pinched the bridge of his nose lightly. "You have killed so many people, and the blood of the Uchiha clan is flowing on your body. Once the secret is revealed, there will be no place for you in Kyoto."
Obito stared at the lines on the tatami, and clenched his hands on his lap into fists.He was actually not surprised by this result, but his heart sank to the bottom of the valley when he heard with his own ears that the last glimmer of hope had been shattered.
Since this is the case...he can only accept it.
"Teacher." He looked at the blond man, "Please hand me over. After that, Kakashi will leave to you."
Thinking about it this way, it might be a good thing that Kakashi is still in a coma.
Minato stopped pinching the bridge of her nose.The space around him seemed to freeze; then he finally lowered his arms and slowly raised his head to look at Obito.
Obito opened his eyes wide.
He had never imagined his teacher would look like this—for a moment he wasn't even sure if it was Minakaze himself sitting across from him.Minato looked at Obito, with a numb blankness on his face, as if his expression, along with the nearly 20 years of upbringing, the friendship between teachers and students, had all been wiped away by an invisible hand.
"Okay." Obito heard his indifferent voice, "It seems that I can only kill you in advance."
--------
boom! !
The sudden loud noise broke the oppressive tranquility under the twilight, and the ground seemed to shake.There was an instant commotion in the Yin-Yang Room, and the Onmyoji and warriors were running along the corridor, either with serious expressions or panicked, and they ran towards the place where the sound came from.
At the southern end of the main building of Yinyangliao, at the end of the longhouse, the empty house that had never been cared for was blown to pieces, and debris and sawdust were scattered all over the ground.A red square barrier rose from the ground, revealing the two people confronting each other inside—Minato, and Obito with half of his face bloody and bloody.
Blood was continuously flowing down between his fingers, and Obito stumbled back, his shocked and unbelievable eyes fixed on the teacher all the time.The severe pain of disfigurement distorted his expression, but it was obvious that it was not only the physical injury that made him suffer so far.
The faintly glowing talisman paper was suspended in the air, turning around the water gate at a steady speed.The blond man looked coldly at his former student. "Since you are ready to die, why resist?"
"That's different!" Obito screamed.He swung his hand violently, blood splashed from his fingertips, leaving a string of marks on the tatami. "...Why? I have always regarded you as my closest family member and respected you from the bottom of my heart!"
"Do you think that I, the descendant of Senjuryu, would really treat a mixed-blood half-demon as the same kind? There must be a limit to innocence." Minato's voice suddenly became higher and higher. "I have always invested a lot of energy in you, and even included Kakashi in the plan. I just wanted to use you as an example to find the most effective way to kill the Uchiha clan. Now, Because of your stupidity and recklessness, all my efforts were in vain, if I had known this, it would be better to—"
Obito was staring at him sadly at first, but when Minato talked about Kakashi, his face suddenly changed. "Wait." He interrupted the other party with a trembling voice, "What do you mean by 'include Kakashi in the plan'?"
"What I mean is, I knew about the things between the two of you from the very beginning." Minato narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's better to say... when your blood was just awakened, that time he went to the small warehouse to find you , also under my permission."
"..."
"After Hatake Sakumo committed suicide, it was thanks to me that Kakashi was able to stay in Kyoto instead of following his uncles back to the countryside of Ou. I do things. At all costs, let you stay here for him, and not follow the call of the blood to leave the capital, this is the task I gave him... He has always performed very well."
Obito looked at Minato, as if looking at a complete stranger. "You are a devil."
Minato sneered: "Back then, the big demon Uchiha Madara killed half of the capital, and his descendants said such words. It couldn't be more ironic." He suddenly lowered his face, "That's the end of the gossip. The next blow , I won’t fail again!”
He raised his hand, and five pieces of talisman paper were lined up in front of him. The runes floated away from the paper and turned into clusters of light, forming a pattern of a regular pentagram.The dazzling light gathers in the center of the pentagram, gradually growing stronger and ready to go.
It's the Five Elements Seal, the teacher—no, Namikaze Minato—the best onmyojutsu... Obito took a few steps back and threw out a shikigami paper figurine. "Come out, Isoto!"
The paper figurine burst into light, and the three-tailed giant tortoise appeared out of thin air, instantly filling the space between the two onmyojis.The five-element seal hit Isata's body, and the solid back armor cracked under this blow.Isota let out a painful roar, and the three tails made a whistling sound, and swept towards the water gate.
"Crash!"
Several chains flew out from Minato's cuffs, and climbed onto Isata's body like a snake, tightly entwining its tail, four legs, and neck.Obito's face changed when he saw this; he had already recognized that it was the Uzumaki Clan's secret shikigami subjugation technique, which was used by Senju Hashirama to subdue nine ancient monsters as shikigami in those days. Passed down from generation to generation, and taught this sealing technique to the whirlpool of Qianshou Separation.Minato's yin and yang attainments are far superior to his, I'm afraid...
Snapped!
Accompanied by the crackling sound, Sanwei's huge body turned into a phantom, gradually shrinking back to the shape of a paper figurine.The paper man fell to the ground, suddenly ignited spontaneously without fire, and burned to a mass of ashes in the blink of an eye.The shikigami was forcibly taken away, and Obito also suffered backlash. He stumbled back a few steps, knelt down, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth in embarrassment.
Putting the chain back into his sleeve, Minato looked down at him. "I don't even think about who gave it to you in the first place. Do you still have to resist?"
The vision began to blur intermittently, and Obito gritted his teeth, trying to keep himself awake.The Tailed Beast Nine Shikigami was shared equally among him, Kakashi, and Minato, and now he still has Shukaku and Bull Demon in his hands, but even if they are summoned, they are in danger of being taken away by Minato.Low-level shikigami are even more vulnerable to the most powerful onmyoji of our time, and the only thing left is...
——Do whatever it takes to make you stay here wholeheartedly for him, and not follow the call of the blood to leave the capital. This is the task I gave him.
The cold words echoed in his ears, intertwined with the happy and happy old days, casting a shadow over those vivid and bright pictures.Obito clenched his blood-stained fist tightly, feeling infinite desolation in his heart.
"Go to that world obediently, Tobi. Take it as my reward for taking you in for 18 years." On the other side, Minato raised his pentagram again, ready to attack again. "If you want to resent, then resent your parents who gave birth to you and then abandoned you!"
There is no time to hesitate... This is the only chance to escape from here!
Another paper figurine was thrown out.Shukaku took over Isato's previous position, and lay between them, while Shirozu appeared next to Obito.Its eyes are still red, sparks are shining all over its body, but its appearance is no longer as evil and frightening as before.
While Shukaku was blocking Minato's attack, Obito struggled to climb up on White Wolf's back.Sure enough, soon he heard the sound of chains shuttling, and then the contract with Shuhe was forcibly severed.
With a sharp pain in his chest, Obito let out a muffled grunt, and almost slipped off the white wolf's back.Seemingly aware of the urgency of the situation, the white wolf turned his head and lowered his body to grab the corner of his robe, and pushed him upwards with his head.
At the same time that Shukaku dissipated, Obito finally climbed onto the white wolf's back.The beast stood up quickly, turned around and lowered its head, and slammed into the barrier.The barrier shattered at the sound, and one man and one wolf finally managed to break through the shackles and leaped into the air.
With the whistling of the wind in my ears, the Yin-Yang Liao shrinks rapidly under my feet.Swallowing the fishy sweetness in his mouth, Obito looked back and saw that Minato was still standing in the ruins, looking up to this side, holding a handful of new talisman papers in his hand.
Azure met Blood Red, and the eyes of the two intersected instantly in the air.Obito didn't say anything, just turned his head decisively.
"Woo-!" The white wolf raised its neck and let out a long howl, and then turned into a stream of light, fleeing to the end of the sky.
"Quick! Follow him!" Among the bystanders, Hai Yi was the first to regain his composure, and quickly ordered.The other onmyojis just woke up like a dream, and they summoned their shikigami one after another, and followed the direction where the white wolf left.
Hai Yi and several warriors crossed the ruined walls together and approached the water gate cautiously.After Obito left, Yin Yangtou stood there like a clay sculpture, motionless, even his raised arms were still hanging in the air.
"...My lord?" Haiyi tentatively called out, and was about to reach out to touch him, when Minato suddenly staggered back two steps, spitting out a mouthful of blood. "It's such a powerful illusion...it can be activated just by looking at each other. It's worthy of the Uchiha family."
"My lord!" Hai Yi quickly stepped forward to support him. "Please rest assured, Yuan is seriously injured and cannot escape far. It is still too late to catch him!"
"No." Minato shook his hand. "Take back all the shikigami. Even if Tobi is injured, you are no match for him."
"Then what do you do?" Haiyi asked worriedly, "If you can't take Yuan's head for business, the Emperor..."
Minato gently pushed Haiyi open and stood up straight.He lowered his head, his sideburns blocked his expression, and he could only see the bloodless cheeks and jaw.
"Tomorrow...I will explain to His Majesty myself."
--------
The next day, Minato played at the water gate, explaining the escape with soil, and took the initiative to take all the blame, requesting to commit suicide by harakiri according to the rules of the samurai family.I just ask the emperor to give him a few days to make arrangements for his funeral before he goes to die.
At this time, Guangzhu's father, the Minister of Internal Affairs, Fujiwara Liangzhi also took action.He played the Emperor, begging to forgive Minato's life, saying that Minato is irreplaceable, only he can protect the Emperor and so on.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he advances by retreating, and that he seems to save people but actually kills; the higher he praises Minato, the more the emperor will feel that his life is actually being held in the hands of a courtier, and the more unhappy he will be.
Sure enough, an imperial edict came out that night, allowing Minato to apologize by harakiri and giving him five days to deal with the funeral.At the same time, Liangzhi was ordered to contact Harima-ryu, another major school of onmyoji in the opposition, which had always been at odds with Senju-ryu.The Senjuryu, which has been prosperous for hundreds of years in Kyoto, seems to be about to decline because of this incident.
However, on the fourth day after the edict was issued, an unexpected figure appeared before the emperor.
It's Kakashi.The young onmyoji looked like he was just recovering from a serious illness, his face was almost the same color as his hair, there was no smile on his face, and his left eye was still wrapped with a bandage.
The Emperor looked at Kakashi bowing to himself with complicated emotions.Kakashi had tried his best to save his life in front of the red-eyed monster. He originally intended to promote this loyal servant of the lord, but Kakashi was a student of Minato, and the two had a deep relationship.After Minato was bestowed with death, Kakashi would definitely feel alienated from the court and the emperor...
But what Kakashi said next was something no one expected.
"Your Majesty, I want to report to you that Namikaze Minato deliberately let go of the demon Uchiwa Tobi."
(TBC)
--------
The Harima style is a real school of folk Onmyoji recorded in ancient Japanese books, which is opposite to the Kamo style to which Abe Seimei belongs.The representative figure is Ashiya Michimitsu.
——I will always watch the heroic posture of you guarding the capital and His Majesty!
"Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Obito put his hands on his eyes, and let out an inhuman cry of grief and anger from the depths of his throat.With him as the center, an invisible air wave suddenly exploded, rushing in all directions, causing people to stagger and stand unsteadily.Onmyoji's shoulders, sleeve tails, robe corners, and the black-haired Onmyouji's body burst into flames, and the air was twisted by the extremely high heat, but he was not injured at all.
Lowering his arms, Obito stood up.Now everyone could see his face clearly—the eyes were as red as blood, and the three black jade jades were slowly rotating around the pupils.No one has ever seen such a pair of eyes with their own eyes, but the eerie and ominous pattern has been passed down to this day along with the strange stories of the ghosts walking in the night as early as thousands of years ago. It has become a lingering symbol of terror, deeply engraved in On the land of Kyoto.
"This...how is this possible?" The first person to break the dead silence was the fox demon.She detached from Rin's body and floated in mid-air, looking at Obito in horror. "As an onmyoji, you actually belong to the Uchiha clan... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"
Her words turned into heart-piercing screams halfway, and she fell from the air to the ground, wailing and struggling in pain.However, no matter how she beat her, the flames burning all over her body still did not go out, sticking firmly to her body like tarsal maggots.After a while, the fox demon who was still charming just now turned into a twisted mass of coke.
Averting his eyes from the charred corpse, Obito looked over the crowd, and landed on the pale-faced emperor who was guarded by layers of warriors at the end, with murderous intent in his eyes.
"I'm going to kill you," he said.
"Protect Your Majesty!" Major General You Guard drew out his knife and shouted.
It sounded like a switch had been flipped.The courtiers screamed and fled in all directions, while the warriors drew their swords one after another, ignorantly attacking their new enemy.The samurai who followed the lord's order just now also rushed up, ran towards Obito, and was about to step on the arm of the girl he had killed.
Accompanied by a heart-piercing wolf howl, a huge white wolf appeared out of thin air, squatting in front of its master.Obito's mutation was also reflected in its body, its eyes were as red as burning coals, its four claws stepped on the flames, and its tail turned into a ball of fire.It roared and jumped at the murderer, tearing the opponent apart easily, and the splashed blood fell on the surrounding people, hot as magma.
Shocked by this excessively cruel scene, the samurai involuntarily slowed down.The white wolf didn't give them time to react, and rushed headlong into the crowd, screaming as its claws passed, and the burning man rolled helplessly on the ground, and the small courtyard suddenly became a purgatory on earth.
In the center of purgatory, a half-demon with fully awakened blood stood there, staring coldly.
"Let... release the arrow!" The emperor turned pale and backed away again and again.There are only two exits from the small garden, both of which are now blocked by flames rising from the ground.If you want to leave here, you must defeat Obito. "kill him!"
General Right Guard personally bent his bow and set his arrow, aiming at the black-haired youth.The bow string gradually stretched into a full moon, and the arrow was about to fly out of his hand, when Obito suddenly turned his head to look at him, and the three-pointed jade in his eyes twirled rapidly.The moment their eyes met, General You Jinwei suddenly froze in place as if he had been cast with a hold technique; his eyes were wide open, and the eyeballs almost protruded, as if he had seen some extremely terrifying scene.
"Uh... ho ho..." He let out an inarticulate and frightening voice, and then, as if all the bones in his body had been taken away, he collapsed on the ground and died out of breath.
At this time, the white wolf's killing also came to an end.There were very few people standing in the yard, and the entire army of warriors was wiped out, lying on the ground in disorder like the palace people who failed to escape.Even Guangzhu fell under a charred cherry tree, dead long ago.

"Woo—" Shikigami let out a threatening growl from between his fangs, and with all his hind legs, he rushed towards his prey.
"Come... come and protect me!" the emperor shouted, his voice changed due to extreme fear, "Who will come—"
His screaming stopped abruptly the moment a white figure came into view.
boom!
The white wolf slammed into the invisible barrier, bounced back and took a few steps back, shaking his head frantically.Purple ripples spread out layer by layer, and the square enchantment array gradually revealed its shape, firmly protecting the emperor from all directions.
It's Kakashi.The silver-haired onmyoji stood in front of the emperor, with his right hand in a mudra on his chest, and a piece of burning talisman between his raised fingers.The white wolf began to attack the barrier, roaring and scratching the barrier with its paws, the flames on the talisman paper also followed without wind and seemed to be extinguished at any moment.
Kakashi's face became paler, but he still gritted his teeth, refusing to back down.
"Get out of the way." Obito looked at him who was struggling to support indifferently, his eyes were extremely strange, as if he was looking at some completely different race, "otherwise I will kill you too."
"..." Kakashi remained silent.He stared at those eyes, and could no longer find any familiar warm radiance from them.The person standing in front of him was indeed Obito, but Kakashi could hardly believe that he was his lover who embraced him every night and fell asleep.
Kakashi could feel that Obito's spiritual power and demon power were in a state of extreme confusion, and the two were mixed together without distinction.Although he has only been in contact with Obito, a half-demon, he also understands that this is absolutely impossible to be a normal situation.
"Wake up, Tobi!" He shouted with the last hope, "Do you know what you are doing now? Don't cause more serious disasters!"
Obito ignored it.He pulled out a blank talisman paper from his sleeve and held it between his fingers as well. "Just wanting to stop me like this, you are too naive, Kakashi."
The way he said Kakashi's name was like the two of them were strangers who had never met.As soon as Obito's voice fell, the talisman paper seemed to have been burned by flames, and scorched black winding characters appeared automatically.

It's too late to summon shikigami or cast spells.You can't dodge it either. If you let it kill the Emperor here and now, the consequences will be unimaginable——
The sharp pain stopped Kakashi from thinking.The white wolf's claws ran across his face, leaving a scar across his left eye.Under the influence of Obito, this shikigami has completely turned into a monster. The scorching monster energy eroded into Kakashi's body along the wound, dyeing half of his vision blood red, and gradually became blurred.
Run away... take the soil...
His lips moved silently, and the silver-haired Onmyoji fell to the ground, unconscious.At the same time, Obito, who had been watching with cold eyes, suddenly seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, his body trembled, and he staggered and knelt down.
Even without being spoken aloud, the power of a true name cannot be underestimated.The flames were extinguished, and Obito hunched his body and hugged his head with both hands; the white wolf who was walking towards the emperor also stopped, and the former stared in horror at the beast that was close at hand, not even daring to take a breath.
The small courtyard suddenly became extremely quiet, and only the sound of people running and shouting for firefighting outside could be heard, as if it was from another world.
After an unknown amount of time, Obito finally raised his head again.He was panting heavily, sweating like rain, his eyes were still bright red, but they were no longer as cold as before, and he seemed to have finally recovered his sanity.He looked around, his eyes flicked over the corpses all over the place, and finally fixed on Kakashi's body, propped his hands on his knees, and slowly stood up.
"Don't...don't come here!" The emperor yelled in fright.
Obito turned a deaf ear.The white wolf turned back to him, the flames on his body had been extinguished.Obito picked up Lin, carefully placed it on its back, walked over to pick up Kakashi, and carried it on his shoulders.From the beginning to the end, he did not cast half a look at the Emperor.
Holding a spell between his fingers, he whispered, "Dun."
A gust of wind suddenly picked up on the flat ground, and one man and one wolf quickly disappeared among the swirling leaves.
--------
In just one night, the matter of Chengxiang Palace spread rapidly throughout the entire Heian capital like a raging fire.From officials to civilians, everyone was shocked by Obito's true identity. Hearing that he had stayed in Kyoto after the incident, everyone was in danger. He would kill at will on the street.
The image of the Uchiha clan passed down from generation to generation in Kyoto is precisely the horror and brutality.
While panicking, everyone couldn't help but start to wonder: This turmoil started when the daughter of the Fujiwara family asked a fox to possess her body to confuse the emperor, and turned with the killing spree of the yin and yang head disciple in the imperial palace, and how it will end in the end Woolen cloth?
According to gossip from the palace, the Emperor fainted after Obito left that night, and did not wake up until noon the next day.Thinking of the fright and humiliation he had experienced before, the emperor, who had always been pampered and respected by no one dared to disobey him, couldn't help becoming angry. He immediately sent troops to surround Yinyangliao heavily, and hurriedly summoned Minato to return to Kyoto, ordering him to personally kill the demon inner kite, and to defeat the meritorious deeds. crime.
As for Obito, he didn't go anywhere. After finding a secluded place in the outskirts to bury Lin, he returned to Yinyang, carried Kakashi into the bedroom.Hearing about Chengxiang Palace, no one else dared to bother him, and hid away from the closed door; the outside world had already turned upside down, but he, the person in the center of the storm, was quiet.
Obito can't get any information about what's going on outside, but he can guess at all.But he can't just walk away, once he escapes, the emperor's anger will not be vented, and Kakashi and Minato will surely be harmed.
Now he can only place his hopes on Minato, hoping that his master with great powers can find a perfect plan to help them tide over the difficulties.If he is really desperate, he has also made up his mind to pay his own life. The matter was caused by him, and the teacher and Kakashi must not let the teacher and Kakashi suffer with him.
Kakashi has been groggy for the past few days, has been suffering from a low-grade fever, occasionally wakes up and is completely unconscious, and his exposed right eye is slack.Obito sent the white wolf to guard for the time being, and went to the kitchen of the Yinyang House to get enough pastries and water, and came back to feed him mouth to mouth.His appearance made everyone in the dormitory feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy. The samurai held their swords, and the onmyojis held their spells tightly, but no one dared to attack.It is no exaggeration to say that it takes a lot of courage to stand upright in front of those dangerous eyes without retreating.
On the night of the fifth day, the door of that bedroom was finally opened again.
Obito turned his head, and as expected, he saw Minato standing at the door, dusty and serious.
"Follow me." His eyes withdrew from Kakashi in Obito's arms, and fell back on the face of the black-haired disciple.
Obito didn't move.
"I've already ordered that no one will disturb him." After Minato said, he turned and walked away, as if he knew he would definitely follow, "Let's go to another place to talk."
The two walked through many corridors and came to a very remote room.Few people use it here, and it is empty, with particles of dust floating in the air.There were two cushions on the tatami, and Minato signaled Obito to sit on one of them, while he himself sat on the other.
"The emperor is furious. There is no room for change in this matter." After both of them were seated, Minato said straight to the point.He looked very tired, his eyes half closed, and he pinched the bridge of his nose lightly. "You have killed so many people, and the blood of the Uchiha clan is flowing on your body. Once the secret is revealed, there will be no place for you in Kyoto."
Obito stared at the lines on the tatami, and clenched his hands on his lap into fists.He was actually not surprised by this result, but his heart sank to the bottom of the valley when he heard with his own ears that the last glimmer of hope had been shattered.
Since this is the case...he can only accept it.
"Teacher." He looked at the blond man, "Please hand me over. After that, Kakashi will leave to you."
Thinking about it this way, it might be a good thing that Kakashi is still in a coma.
Minato stopped pinching the bridge of her nose.The space around him seemed to freeze; then he finally lowered his arms and slowly raised his head to look at Obito.
Obito opened his eyes wide.
He had never imagined his teacher would look like this—for a moment he wasn't even sure if it was Minakaze himself sitting across from him.Minato looked at Obito, with a numb blankness on his face, as if his expression, along with the nearly 20 years of upbringing, the friendship between teachers and students, had all been wiped away by an invisible hand.
"Okay." Obito heard his indifferent voice, "It seems that I can only kill you in advance."
--------
boom! !
The sudden loud noise broke the oppressive tranquility under the twilight, and the ground seemed to shake.There was an instant commotion in the Yin-Yang Room, and the Onmyoji and warriors were running along the corridor, either with serious expressions or panicked, and they ran towards the place where the sound came from.
At the southern end of the main building of Yinyangliao, at the end of the longhouse, the empty house that had never been cared for was blown to pieces, and debris and sawdust were scattered all over the ground.A red square barrier rose from the ground, revealing the two people confronting each other inside—Minato, and Obito with half of his face bloody and bloody.
Blood was continuously flowing down between his fingers, and Obito stumbled back, his shocked and unbelievable eyes fixed on the teacher all the time.The severe pain of disfigurement distorted his expression, but it was obvious that it was not only the physical injury that made him suffer so far.
The faintly glowing talisman paper was suspended in the air, turning around the water gate at a steady speed.The blond man looked coldly at his former student. "Since you are ready to die, why resist?"
"That's different!" Obito screamed.He swung his hand violently, blood splashed from his fingertips, leaving a string of marks on the tatami. "...Why? I have always regarded you as my closest family member and respected you from the bottom of my heart!"
"Do you think that I, the descendant of Senjuryu, would really treat a mixed-blood half-demon as the same kind? There must be a limit to innocence." Minato's voice suddenly became higher and higher. "I have always invested a lot of energy in you, and even included Kakashi in the plan. I just wanted to use you as an example to find the most effective way to kill the Uchiha clan. Now, Because of your stupidity and recklessness, all my efforts were in vain, if I had known this, it would be better to—"
Obito was staring at him sadly at first, but when Minato talked about Kakashi, his face suddenly changed. "Wait." He interrupted the other party with a trembling voice, "What do you mean by 'include Kakashi in the plan'?"
"What I mean is, I knew about the things between the two of you from the very beginning." Minato narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's better to say... when your blood was just awakened, that time he went to the small warehouse to find you , also under my permission."
"..."
"After Hatake Sakumo committed suicide, it was thanks to me that Kakashi was able to stay in Kyoto instead of following his uncles back to the countryside of Ou. I do things. At all costs, let you stay here for him, and not follow the call of the blood to leave the capital, this is the task I gave him... He has always performed very well."
Obito looked at Minato, as if looking at a complete stranger. "You are a devil."
Minato sneered: "Back then, the big demon Uchiha Madara killed half of the capital, and his descendants said such words. It couldn't be more ironic." He suddenly lowered his face, "That's the end of the gossip. The next blow , I won’t fail again!”
He raised his hand, and five pieces of talisman paper were lined up in front of him. The runes floated away from the paper and turned into clusters of light, forming a pattern of a regular pentagram.The dazzling light gathers in the center of the pentagram, gradually growing stronger and ready to go.
It's the Five Elements Seal, the teacher—no, Namikaze Minato—the best onmyojutsu... Obito took a few steps back and threw out a shikigami paper figurine. "Come out, Isoto!"
The paper figurine burst into light, and the three-tailed giant tortoise appeared out of thin air, instantly filling the space between the two onmyojis.The five-element seal hit Isata's body, and the solid back armor cracked under this blow.Isota let out a painful roar, and the three tails made a whistling sound, and swept towards the water gate.
"Crash!"
Several chains flew out from Minato's cuffs, and climbed onto Isata's body like a snake, tightly entwining its tail, four legs, and neck.Obito's face changed when he saw this; he had already recognized that it was the Uzumaki Clan's secret shikigami subjugation technique, which was used by Senju Hashirama to subdue nine ancient monsters as shikigami in those days. Passed down from generation to generation, and taught this sealing technique to the whirlpool of Qianshou Separation.Minato's yin and yang attainments are far superior to his, I'm afraid...
Snapped!
Accompanied by the crackling sound, Sanwei's huge body turned into a phantom, gradually shrinking back to the shape of a paper figurine.The paper man fell to the ground, suddenly ignited spontaneously without fire, and burned to a mass of ashes in the blink of an eye.The shikigami was forcibly taken away, and Obito also suffered backlash. He stumbled back a few steps, knelt down, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth in embarrassment.
Putting the chain back into his sleeve, Minato looked down at him. "I don't even think about who gave it to you in the first place. Do you still have to resist?"
The vision began to blur intermittently, and Obito gritted his teeth, trying to keep himself awake.The Tailed Beast Nine Shikigami was shared equally among him, Kakashi, and Minato, and now he still has Shukaku and Bull Demon in his hands, but even if they are summoned, they are in danger of being taken away by Minato.Low-level shikigami are even more vulnerable to the most powerful onmyoji of our time, and the only thing left is...
——Do whatever it takes to make you stay here wholeheartedly for him, and not follow the call of the blood to leave the capital. This is the task I gave him.
The cold words echoed in his ears, intertwined with the happy and happy old days, casting a shadow over those vivid and bright pictures.Obito clenched his blood-stained fist tightly, feeling infinite desolation in his heart.
"Go to that world obediently, Tobi. Take it as my reward for taking you in for 18 years." On the other side, Minato raised his pentagram again, ready to attack again. "If you want to resent, then resent your parents who gave birth to you and then abandoned you!"
There is no time to hesitate... This is the only chance to escape from here!
Another paper figurine was thrown out.Shukaku took over Isato's previous position, and lay between them, while Shirozu appeared next to Obito.Its eyes are still red, sparks are shining all over its body, but its appearance is no longer as evil and frightening as before.
While Shukaku was blocking Minato's attack, Obito struggled to climb up on White Wolf's back.Sure enough, soon he heard the sound of chains shuttling, and then the contract with Shuhe was forcibly severed.
With a sharp pain in his chest, Obito let out a muffled grunt, and almost slipped off the white wolf's back.Seemingly aware of the urgency of the situation, the white wolf turned his head and lowered his body to grab the corner of his robe, and pushed him upwards with his head.
At the same time that Shukaku dissipated, Obito finally climbed onto the white wolf's back.The beast stood up quickly, turned around and lowered its head, and slammed into the barrier.The barrier shattered at the sound, and one man and one wolf finally managed to break through the shackles and leaped into the air.
With the whistling of the wind in my ears, the Yin-Yang Liao shrinks rapidly under my feet.Swallowing the fishy sweetness in his mouth, Obito looked back and saw that Minato was still standing in the ruins, looking up to this side, holding a handful of new talisman papers in his hand.
Azure met Blood Red, and the eyes of the two intersected instantly in the air.Obito didn't say anything, just turned his head decisively.
"Woo-!" The white wolf raised its neck and let out a long howl, and then turned into a stream of light, fleeing to the end of the sky.
"Quick! Follow him!" Among the bystanders, Hai Yi was the first to regain his composure, and quickly ordered.The other onmyojis just woke up like a dream, and they summoned their shikigami one after another, and followed the direction where the white wolf left.
Hai Yi and several warriors crossed the ruined walls together and approached the water gate cautiously.After Obito left, Yin Yangtou stood there like a clay sculpture, motionless, even his raised arms were still hanging in the air.
"...My lord?" Haiyi tentatively called out, and was about to reach out to touch him, when Minato suddenly staggered back two steps, spitting out a mouthful of blood. "It's such a powerful illusion...it can be activated just by looking at each other. It's worthy of the Uchiha family."
"My lord!" Hai Yi quickly stepped forward to support him. "Please rest assured, Yuan is seriously injured and cannot escape far. It is still too late to catch him!"
"No." Minato shook his hand. "Take back all the shikigami. Even if Tobi is injured, you are no match for him."
"Then what do you do?" Haiyi asked worriedly, "If you can't take Yuan's head for business, the Emperor..."
Minato gently pushed Haiyi open and stood up straight.He lowered his head, his sideburns blocked his expression, and he could only see the bloodless cheeks and jaw.
"Tomorrow...I will explain to His Majesty myself."
--------
The next day, Minato played at the water gate, explaining the escape with soil, and took the initiative to take all the blame, requesting to commit suicide by harakiri according to the rules of the samurai family.I just ask the emperor to give him a few days to make arrangements for his funeral before he goes to die.
At this time, Guangzhu's father, the Minister of Internal Affairs, Fujiwara Liangzhi also took action.He played the Emperor, begging to forgive Minato's life, saying that Minato is irreplaceable, only he can protect the Emperor and so on.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he advances by retreating, and that he seems to save people but actually kills; the higher he praises Minato, the more the emperor will feel that his life is actually being held in the hands of a courtier, and the more unhappy he will be.
Sure enough, an imperial edict came out that night, allowing Minato to apologize by harakiri and giving him five days to deal with the funeral.At the same time, Liangzhi was ordered to contact Harima-ryu, another major school of onmyoji in the opposition, which had always been at odds with Senju-ryu.The Senjuryu, which has been prosperous for hundreds of years in Kyoto, seems to be about to decline because of this incident.
However, on the fourth day after the edict was issued, an unexpected figure appeared before the emperor.
It's Kakashi.The young onmyoji looked like he was just recovering from a serious illness, his face was almost the same color as his hair, there was no smile on his face, and his left eye was still wrapped with a bandage.
The Emperor looked at Kakashi bowing to himself with complicated emotions.Kakashi had tried his best to save his life in front of the red-eyed monster. He originally intended to promote this loyal servant of the lord, but Kakashi was a student of Minato, and the two had a deep relationship.After Minato was bestowed with death, Kakashi would definitely feel alienated from the court and the emperor...
But what Kakashi said next was something no one expected.
"Your Majesty, I want to report to you that Namikaze Minato deliberately let go of the demon Uchiwa Tobi."
(TBC)

The Harima style is a real school of folk Onmyoji recorded in ancient Japanese books, which is opposite to the Kamo style to which Abe Seimei belongs.The representative figure is Ashiya Michimitsu.
