but!
This is also a member of the Kurozumi clan, and the most outstanding among them is Kanjuro. Seimei values Kanjuro very much, and this trip to Fishman Island is no exception. Kurozumi Semimaru is teaching Kanjuro, while Kanjuro is leading a group of 50,000 demon soldiers. This is not only to face the enemy, but also to cultivate Kanjuro's growth and allow him to grow step by step.
This is definitely something that deserves great attention. After all, staying within Wano Country is meaningless. You need to leave Wano Country. Only by leaving Wano Country can you learn and grow your talents. Seimei even valued Kanjuro so much that he taught Kanjuro how to use spiritual power.
Although his progress is very slow, Kanjuro is indeed working very hard to grow!
"Yes!"
Kurozumi Higurashi pondered for a moment and said, "Young Master! Kanjuro is indeed exceptionally talented. With all the enemies dealt with, Kanjuro has undergone a gradual transformation. He is now studying military texts, strategies, training methods, and the training of samurai. He has also studied numerous schools of martial arts, learning from all the schools in Wano Country. Wielding the black sword Shusui, it can be said that he will grow into a great general and swordsman who combines the strengths of Shimotsuki Ushimaru and Shimotsuki Ryoma!"
Apparently!
Kurozumi Higurashi also had high hopes for Kanjuro, and indeed! Kanjuro lived up to expectations. Kanjuro's excellence was beyond doubt. In order to better transform himself and better help the young master, he truly studied in all aspects and never relaxed his vigilance in any position! Remember! Never relax in any position. This is Kanjuro's serious growth.
And if such a person is still not outstanding, that would be the strangest thing. Seimei nodded and said, "Kanjuro! He is truly an outstanding clansman. Nurture him well. Granny Musashi, give him all the resources he needs. We must help Kanjuro grow up to be the future pillar of our Kurozumi clan."
"Yes!"
Kurozumi Higurashi nodded seriously. Seimei knew that Wano Country would undergo a tremendous transformation and sublimation as time went by! Even now, it was still the same!
Actually!
If Minamoto no Yorimitsu were to inherit the mantle, then the best candidate for Great Shogun would undoubtedly be Minamoto no Yorimitsu. However! Seimei has never let his guard down in training Kanjuro. In the future, Minamoto no Yorimitsu could lead the Oni Corps, while Kanjuro would lead the Oni Group, with the two complementing each other. This is not a bad thing.
Besides that! As Kanjuro grows up, everything will undergo tremendous changes, that's for sure, and the same goes for the changes in Wano Country, Suzuka Mountain! The City of the Sun!
The country of Wano now has two major powers, much like the daimyo. Whether it's Himiko or Suzuka Gozen, they all obey Seimei, but they each have their own will. They can follow Seimei's orders, but harmonious coexistence between them? That's unrealistic!
·· ··Requesting 0 flowers ·····
A life-or-death struggle? That's not going to happen! But healthy competition between them is perfectly normal in the future. As time goes by, it's not strange that various forces, such as the Asura Demon Path, the City of Celestials, the Demon Realm, Mount Ooe, the Mountain of Demons, or other different forces, will be summoned. At that time, healthy competition will be very important.
Seimei doesn't favor anyone, but! The Kurozumi clan still needs to grow. Whether it's Himiko or Orochi, they are both members of the Kurozumi clan, and they represent the clan. The Kurozumi clan needs to become even stronger in the future.
"correct!"
"Little Lord!"
Kurozumi Musashi seemed to have suddenly thought of something and explained, "Besides that, the members that the Kurozumi clan originally found have also returned to Wano Country one after another. They have all returned to the Kurozumi clan, and many of them have started to open dojos in Wano Country. Some have joined the Demon Soldier Group, and others are engaged in other various activities."
...... .. .......
Seimei nodded and said, "It's alright! Those who are willing to grow don't need to be suppressed. No matter who it is, no one in Wano Country can surpass me. Besides, they are all my people, so I don't need to be nervous at all. If they really could surpass me? Hehehe~~~"
"Let him have the throne. I think that the appearance of such a person may not necessarily be a bad thing for Wano Country."
Seimei was very calm, because he was not suited for the position of king. This was a very simple thing, and it wasn't something he had just realized. He was simply not suitable. To be precise, as the king of Wano Country, you need to manage everything steadily, and he was really not suited for this position.
Of course!
Regardless of the circumstances, Seimei did indeed subdue everyone, and naturally, everyone became Seimei's subordinate. In other words, no one would rebel against Seimei anymore. It was that simple. Under these circumstances, everything underwent a complete transformation, which is no exaggeration.
"Yes!"
Kurozumi Mujou immediately nodded respectfully. The two then explained some things to each other, and Kurozumi Mujou stood up and gradually left.
actually!
This time, Kurozumi Higurashi failed to report one person: Kurozumi Fuma! This man possesses astonishing talent in ninjutsu and is studying under Fukurokuju as a member of the Oniwabanshu.
Kurozumi Higurashi was considering letting Fuma inherit the power of the Oniwabanshu. Power should remain in the hands of the clan, whether it's a ninja or a samurai. However, while Kurozumi Fuma's talent was good, he needed time to learn. As for his future, that remained to be seen.
For this reason, Kurozumi Musashi didn't say anything, but planned to observe Kurozumi Fuma's future growth. If he was suitable, then the young master could arrange for him to become the leader of the Oniwabanshu. If he wasn't suitable, then he could serve as Fukurokuju's deputy in the future. This wasn't a bad thing; a person's growth is full of uncertainties.

Chapter 146: The Peace and Tranquility of Wano Country
Snapped!
As he unfolded his folding fan, Seimei slowly swayed it, a smile playing on his lips, and said gently, "Grandma Muchan, it seems you're hiding something from me! But it's alright, it's probably nothing serious. Grandma Muchan wouldn't joke about anything important."
"Master Harumi!"
A soft, alluring voice reached his ears. As Seimei watched the demon woman Momiji approach step by step, he gently asked, "Momiji, how are you finding Wano Country? Are you getting used to it?"
"Ok!"
The demon woman, Momiji, knelt down and said joyfully, "Lord Seimei! No matter the time, I am always very happy. Just being with you is enough for me! Besides, Heian-kyo hasn't changed at all since then~~~"
Seimei nodded and said, "As long as nothing changes, that's fine."
"Ok!"
Momiji, the demon girl, nodded gently, gazing at the man before her with adoration. This was the man who mattered to her most important man! This was her most important Lord Seimei, who was always so gentle, and who always made people feel so warm and comforted.
……
brush!
brush!
Yaodao-hime transformed into a blur as she rushed towards her opponent. A sharp, cold light burst forth instantly, and the katana in her hand emitted a crimson "627" light. Her eyes flashed with crimson killing intent, and she fell with the katana in an instant, like a blur.
"cut!"
1001671055
As the attack landed, Yaodao-hime let out a loud shout. Facing Yaodao-hime's fierce onslaught, Takiyasha-hime remained remarkably calm, her attacks being remarkably gentle, seemingly employing softness to overcome hardness. However, a closer look revealed that this was indeed a gentle attack! It was not a violent attack at all, and this gentle attack had already blocked Yaodao-hime's assault.
Crackling!
Jingle bell!
The battle between the two women intensified. In terms of sheer demonic energy, the two women were absolutely evenly matched. Was Suzuka Kagami a demon? Yes! To be precise, the entire Sun Wheel City was once devoid of humans; they had all become demons. In particular, those who sensed the repetition of time within the Sun Wheel City were powerful demons. This was because even an ordinary person, after experiencing this cycle of reincarnation day after day, and after countless repetitions, would no longer be a normal person.
Just like Takiyasha-hime, since she can know what happened back then, it's only natural that she is no longer a normal human, but has transformed into a great demon, because humans would never be able to discover her, while Yoto-hime is a tsukumogami.
The battle between the two women was extremely intense. Yaodao-hime was a tsukumogami, and all her skills were honed in pure combat! Takiyasha-hime, on the other hand, was different. She had been trained as a general since childhood, and under such circumstances, there was no doubt how outstanding Takiyasha-hime was in every aspect.
The two women went back and forth, one relying on the killing skills she learned on the battlefield, and the other on systematic learning. It was impossible to say which was better or worse! However, the two women were indeed unable to determine a winner; it was purely a matter of neither being able to gain the upper hand. That was basically the case.
"Hmm~"
Himiko, Hakuro, and Yingcao watched the battle quietly from the sidelines, each a keen observer. Yingcao asked curiously, "Lord Hakuro! Who will win, Lady Yaodao or Lady Takiyasha?"
"A draw!"
At this moment, Himiko slowly spoke up: "The difference in strength between Yaodao-hime and Takiyasha-hime is not great. The two women are almost equal in strength. With such strength, it is not an easy thing to determine a winner. Because of this, the most likely outcome is a draw. As for who wins and who loses?"
"This is almost impossible. Yaodao-hime's skills and use of demonic power are honed on the battlefield and in life-or-death situations, which are most suitable for her and most suitable for fighting. On the other hand, Cha-hime's skills and use of demonic power have been systematically learned. It is impossible to determine a winner."
Himiko could be said to have seen things very clearly, because as time went by and as more and more were passed down, Himiko naturally gained more and more understanding, just like everything at this moment, she understood a great deal.
as predicted!
Snapped!
As Himiko's voice faded, the two women abruptly separated. Indeed, it was a draw. The two women looked at each other and put away their weapons. It was over. Continuing to fight was meaningless, at least in the short term. And if it were a real life-or-death struggle, it would be impossible. They could not fight to the death; they were comrades.
"Lady Demon Blade!"
"Lady Takiyasha!"
Yingcao waved her dandelions, calling out to the two women, while Yaodaoji shook her head and calmly asked, "Chaji, how did you feel about the fight just now?"
Takiyasha-hime said very calmly, "Yoto-hime, your heart is very confused, or rather! This is not confusion in your heart, but confusion that you have created for yourself. You know all this, but you are unwilling to open your heart."
"Ugh!"
The Demon Blade Princess let out a helpless sigh and said softly, "Fork Princess, just as you said, it is indeed so for me! This confusion is very obvious, and I know I am confused, but..."
"Ugh!"
Yaodao-hime sighed again. There were some things she simply couldn't change. Takiyasha-hime frowned slightly and said, "Yaodao-hime! Your heart is too complicated. As the original, pure weapon of war, you have become more and more complicated because you have normal feelings. And you have become too complicated."
Yaodao-hime naturally understood what Takiyasha-hime meant. A person without emotions will have exceptionally complex feelings when they develop them, and Yaodao-hime was just like that. She felt that her power was insufficient, yet she was unwilling to reclaim everything that had been hers. This was Yaodao-hime's personality, and the problems that came with that complex personality.
but!
That's why Yaodao-hime has never been able to change because of what outsiders say. It's Yaodao-hime's own problem. She can only change when she understands it herself. What outsiders say is meaningless.
"I!"
"Ugh!"
Yaodao-hime calmly shook her head, unsure of what to say. Takiyasha-hime, on the other hand, calmly said, "Confusion! Bewilderment! Actually, this isn't a bad thing. For anyone, it's a good thing. But! Yaodao-hime, you must understand your own heart. Since you don't know what you should do, just tell yourself with your heart. Let yourself know what your future holds. This isn't a bad thing."
"Anyone can place their heart on one person, and everything else will fall into place. Just like me, I placed my heart on Lord Seimei and Lord Himiko. Everything else is meaningless to me..."
"I……"
Yaodao-hime fell into deep thought. Suddenly, a terrifying power erupted from her body, but it dissipated again. However! Those who knew her well knew that Yaodao-hime had gradually changed, and this change was enough.
……
Snapped!
Snapped!
Standing atop the mountain peak, Orochi stood quietly gazing at the distant sunlight, his eyes slightly narrowed. Behind him, Jorogumo whispered, "Master Orochi!"
Orochi nodded slightly and said calmly, "Jorōgumo, how did you feel after going out this time?"
