I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapter 79 & 080 Cursed Seals

Nakano Park was enveloped in a quiet atmosphere under the cover of night. The night wind rustled through the trees, making the dark tree branches seem to stretch and sway.

Tsukimi Inaba, carrying a sword scabbard, walked along a forest path and stopped at a relatively open area of ​​the forest.

There was a rustling sound from the bushes behind me, and a large black dog emerged.

This is a large black dog that is more than half a meter tall. It is thin and bony, with its skeleton clearly visible. Hard clods of dirt and other grime are knotted on its black fur, making it look no different from an ordinary stray dog.

The large black dog stuck out its scarlet tongue, licked its sharp canine teeth, and spoke in a human voice:

"Little girl, it seems you spotted me beforehand? If that's the case, why didn't you run to a crowded place instead of deliberately leading me to a deserted park?"

"We can't involve others."

Tsukimi Inaba reached into her collar and took out a white scale that was strung on and hanging on her necklace.

"I'm looking for a monster with white scales, do you know that?"

"Although the smell is so faint it's almost undetectable, the shape and color..."

The large black dog twitched its nose and chuckled, "What a coincidence! The teacher just sent me to invite you over. You'll be 'seeing' it soon."

The large black dog flashed, leaving an afterimage in its wake, before pouncing on Tsukimi Inaba.

"Even if it's just your head!"

The black dog's upper and lower jaws opened, splitting open from the corners of its mouth all the way to its chest, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth, like that of a lamprey.

"Click click click!"

At the critical moment, Tsukimi Inaba stabbed the long sword she was holding into the monster's mouth. The monster's long jaw snapped shut, making a grating sound like metal scraping together.

The sword scabbard was bitten open, revealing a bundle of sheathed samurai swords inside. Tsukimi Inaba drew out a nodachi that was nearly a meter and a half long.

With a clang, the other sheathed samurai swords scattered on the ground.

Tsukimi Inaba held up a nodachi almost as tall as herself with her slender arms. The blade was decorated with cloud patterns that seemed to swallow water, and the edge gleamed with a sharp, cold light. She struck a textbook-perfect upper stance.

"Interesting, I'll play with you."

The large black dog stood upright, its two front paws twisting and deforming into five fingers resembling human hands. Its body swelled up, transforming into a two-meter-tall werewolf monster.

Tsukimi Inaba's left pupil was still empty and unfocused. She charged forward expressionlessly, unleashing a storm of slashes.

The continuous, fluid slashes—the Kasaya Slash, the Reverse Kasaya Slash, and the Reverse Wind Slash—cut wounds into the black dog demon's body, and it seemed that the black dog demon had been temporarily suppressed.

But this is just an illusion.

Inaba's final sword strike pierced the yokai's shoulder. She frowned slightly and tried to pull her sword back, but the blade remained motionless!

"It's nothing, the samurai game is over."

The black dog monster gripped the nodachi that had slashed into its shoulder with one claw, and raised its other claw. A line of air twisted and refracted, condensing into a translucent wind blade a meter long.

"Human swords are, in essence, just tangible blades. Anything tangible can be blocked, but an intangible blade cannot."

With a flick of his finger, he threw out a wind blade, instantly splitting Tsukimi Inaba in two!

But this was only a remnant of Tsukimi Inaba's image. The wind blade passed through the remnant of Tsukimi Inaba's image and cut a large tree behind her, which was as thick as two people could hug, in half.

Moreover, from the woods behind this large tree, the sounds of creaking and groaning tree trunks falling over echoed continuously, indicating that countless trees had been cut down.

"He dodged it?!"

This female cub already possessed speed and strength that were at the human limit, or even surpassed it, but even so, it was impossible for her to dodge its wind blades.

Among the yokai graduates of the organization, Inukai's yokai attack speed is also considered the fastest.

The black dog monster twitched its nose a few times, then raised its head to look at Tsukimi-ri Inaba standing on the tree trunk.

Tsukimi Inaba's left shoulder was cut by the wind blade, revealing a thin line of blood. It was just a superficial wound, but her black school uniform was also cut open, revealing her long, fair neck.

There were two black spots on the back of her left neck, resembling the fangs of a venomous snake. When Tsukimi Inaba turned her face to the side, her left cheek was covered with one black snake-shaped curse mark after another.

"This demonic aura... Is this the master's curse? I've also witnessed the master's human experiments. It's said that the goal is to transform humans into demons, but humans who are affected by this curse will die instantly from their bodies rotting. How can any human survive?" The black dog demon's eyes showed shock.

"This female cub is unusual; no wonder the teacher told us to retrieve her. But why doesn't it matter if she's dead or alive, as long as we bring back her head?"

Without any visible movement from Tsukimi Inaba, she vanished from the tree branch and reappeared on the ground as if by teleportation, picking up two nodachi.

So fast!

The black dog monster bared its teeth; the scent emanating from the girl now made it feel somewhat threatened.

Fortunately, Inukai wasn't the only one on this mission; Tokito was also there. With Tokito lurking in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike...

Tsukimi no Uba tucked one nodachi under her arm, then drew another nodachi from her hand and threw it to the right without even looking.

The mere nodachi, like an arrow, slicing through the air with a loud bang, with most of its blade embedded in the tree trunk.

"ah--!"

A large amount of blood flowed along the blade, down to the jaws, and dripped continuously.

The air twisted and refracted, gradually revealing a monster that looked like a chameleon, its abdomen pierced by a nodachi and pinned to a tree!

"Damn it, human, how did you find Tokito?"

Tokito, who possesses the magic of invisibility, was clearly hiding in the blind spot of the female cub's right eye, which was covered by an eyepatch. How could he have been found so easily?

"From the very beginning, I saw it clearly. There were two nauseating smells."

The black, serpentine curse mark on Inaba's face was constantly writhing, spreading across her nose to her right cheek, but she remained expressionless, coldly speaking.

"Ouch! Ouch! Captain Inukai, help me!"

The chameleon monster struggled fiercely, but the nodachi was deeply embedded in the tree, its tip protruding from behind, pinning it firmly to the tree trunk, causing it to cry out in pain.

"Tokito, you piece of trash, stop yelling. I'll come back to save you after I've dealt with this human cub."

This is getting a bit tricky.

Inukai no longer maintains the werewolf posture it used for play, but instead gets down on all fours and reverts to its wild dog form, protecting its soft belly.

Not only that, its body gradually swelled up, turning into a giant wolf with a shoulder height of nearly two meters and a front and back length of five or six meters.

The giant wolf had a ferocious face, drool dripping from its mouth, and opened its blood-red maw, large enough to swallow a living person whole, and said viciously:

"I never expected that dealing with a mere human would require such a serious effort."
