Crossover Anime: Transmigrated as Sasuke, but Must Start from Prince of Tennis

He could deal with the demon race with his somewhat rudimentary Taoist techniques, but he had no interest in attacking this human.

Moreover, when quickly imprisoning someone, he was accustomed to using the Six-Staff Light Prison.

"Since you are human, why do you associate with the monsters that slaughter humans?"

With a cold snort, Sasuke stared at Jiraiya and questioned him before he could even speak.

He had no hostility towards this person, but he also had no connection with this person.

Chapter 303 I'm Just a Part-Time Onmyoji

"What? Demon race? What are you talking about? This is Mount Myōboku, the place of the Great Toad Sage, you..."

After Jiraiya realized that he couldn't move, he looked in Sasuke's direction and tried to reason with the young boy.

He didn't know anything about demons or anything like that, but this was a sacred land for immortals...

"Immortal? The man-eating demon race, now free from restraint, dares to call themselves immortals? What is your status here? A traitor to the human race, or food for the demon race?"

Sasuke raised his hand and pointed behind him, revealing the human souls that had been released from the stone statues.

"What do you mean?"

The Sage Mode markings on Jiraiya's face appeared, and upon seeing those souls, his first reaction was to feel frightened.

Those souls were crying out in protest, and the words spoken by each of them reached Jiraiya's ears.

They were lured here to participate in the so-called test, and after failing, they became prey. Their souls were to be turned into stone sculptures to become decorations for Mount Myōboku...

Jiraiya was initially completely bewildered by this information.

He was suddenly brought here and told he was the chosen one, to find the Child of Prophecy...

Because he often trained at Mount Myōboku, Jiraiya knew very well that every toad statue there had a name.

He always thought these names were some kind of boring toad game.

But now it is suddenly discovered that these statues scattered everywhere are actually seals of human souls?

"Failure in the exam and death are not unusual. There is a chance of death in the ninja exam. But to lure them here under the pretext of the exam, kill them, devour their flesh and blood, and then seal their souls forever, do you monsters really think that humanity will never be able to return to its former strength?"

Sasuke raised one hand, gathering spiritual energy at his fingertips, and a demon-slaying talisman quickly took shape. With the control of his spiritual energy, it landed directly on the toad's head.

"Great Toad Sage, save me—"

The red toad only had time to let out a cry for help before it was quickly enveloped by spiritual flames as the talisman landed on it.

By the time the other toads arrived, this one was reduced to a wisp of its dissipating demonic soul.

"Are you a demon slayer?"

The very old Gamamaru walked out shakily, and was startled when he saw the spiritual energy talisman in Sasuke's hand.

The demon slayer—that was information it had heard from its elders when it was still young.

That should be considered ancient times, since modern warfare relies on chakra.

"I'm not a professional exorcist, but... I'm a part-time Onmyoji. I can handle any kind of demon, whether it's a living or dead one."

Sasuke clapped his hands together, and the demon-slaying talismans in his hands suddenly turned into a stack of eighty-one talismans that flew out of his hands and slowly rotated around Gamamaru.

The scope of exorcists is too narrow.

His previous identity was much more useful; he could do whatever he wanted without feeling guilty, since they were connected to both the mortal and spiritual realms and didn't need any other excuses to meddle in other people's business.

"Onmyoji? How is that possible? Weren't Onmyoji extinct?"

Gamamaru's eyes were filled with terror; he seemed to harbor a slow, deep fear of the title "Onmyoji."

"Extinction? How could it be extinction? Since you know about the existence of Onmyoji, you should know that we have more routes to avoid certain conspiracies and schemes, so it's not too surprising."

Sasuke snorted and formed two hand seals with one hand, but this time they were different from before.

Anyway, he learned a lot of things in a very chaotic way, and as long as it could draw upon spiritual energy, he would use it.

He had no choice, after all, he had not received any formal training, and much of what he learned was based on dubious traditions. Even though he had done some research, he relied mostly on his own creations and experimental connections to complete most of his work.

Eighty-one demon-slaying talismans tightened around the toad pill, locking the toad demon, who claimed to be a thousand-year-old immortal, in a cage made of these talismans.

Seeing this, the other toads exchanged glances and then quickly attacked Sasuke.

However, Ashura, who was holding an umbrella behind Sasuke, was waiting for his chance to strike.

A red umbrella, after flashing in the firelight, transformed into a demonic sword. As demonic energy filled the air, the toads that attacked Sasuke instantly turned into demonic souls about to dissipate under the blade.

"A demonic sword?!"

Gamamaru did know some information from the past after all.

At this moment, looking at the red longsword in Ashura's hand, he began to have some self-doubt.

A demonic sword? How could such a thing still exist in this world?

"The demon-slaying blade has killed too many demons, so it has naturally become tainted with a bloodthirsty aura that makes demons tremble with fear. Let's do the math. How many humans have you toads destroyed? Let's trade one for one. After that, the rest of you can continue to live."

Sasuke sneered, took the sword from Ashura's hand, and examined it closely.

This isn't some kind of demonic sword at all; it's just spiritual energy simulating demonic energy. It seems that Gamamaru doesn't know much about it either.

After we've cleaned up the toad's nest, we should also check out the snake's nest. Hopefully, we can find out more from there.

"What are you talking about? Those humans chose this path themselves, and it's their honor to remain here as statues after their failure!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out behind Gamamaru, and two toads that looked quite old but were rather small in size stepped out.

Their meaning is clear: these humans come here seeking immortality techniques, and it's normal for them to die if they don't succeed.

They even went so far as to portray the transformation of the stone sculptures into decorative items for Mount Myoboku as a desirable outcome that they were desperately pursuing.

"An interesting theory, then I'll give you a test. All the toads of Mount Myōboku, come and take the test. Those who fail will vanish on the spot. To die under Ashura's blade should be an honor for you, after all, this is a result that other demon races would rather die than have!"

Sasuke smiled.

It's just performance evaluation theory.

Mandatory assessment; there's only one option here.

He is stronger than humans, so he uses humans as toys. Now that he is stronger than these toad demons, he can let these toads experience the process of a death trial.

"Onmyoji, what you're doing is tantamount to slaughtering my toad clan..."

Toad Pill was so angry he almost vomited blood.

It was actually threatened by a human, and yet it couldn't break free.

Most importantly, it doesn't know how these methods of exorcising demons were learned by people and then used specifically to deal with them.

Just in case, it had sent these few to find a way to leave, but they came back, which means they can't leave Mount Myōboku at all.

Who exactly is this person, and why does he possess the power to specifically counter them? Could it be that some race has been resurrected and is here specifically to deal with the demon race that escaped disaster back then?

"When you slaughtered humans and instigated them to fight time and time again, didn't you ever think of these things? Asura, the trial grounds, begin!"

Sasuke pulled out a chair, sat down, and waved for Ashura to join the battle.

Sure enough, sealing off the space around Mount Myoboku before coming was the right thing to do; that way, they couldn't escape.

Next, let's see how much useful information we can extract from this old toad's memories.

Chapter 304: Cause and Effect - Black Zetsu is dumbfounded

"Young man, put it down. Too much killing will only bring more disaster..."

Jiraiya felt the restrictions on his body being lifted, and with a hint of surprise, he walked to Sasuke's side, wanting to plead for the toads that were being slaughtered.

"Jiraiya, as a human, you have become the toad's spokesperson. Have you ever thought about what this means for the human race?"

Sasuke looked at the slaughterhouse ahead; under Ashura's blade, not a single toad demon would be left alive.

Asura, you're so warlike!

However, he was similar, except that he cared more about the outcome.

Therefore, as long as Gamamaru's memories can be broken down and read, it doesn't matter what identity one assumes or what reason one uses to fight for their race...

However, aside from his identities as an Onmyoji or a demon slayer, he couldn't think of anything else that would motivate Gamamaru to try so hard to recall his childhood.

"I don't know what the past was like, but the Great Toad Sage has always been making prophecies for humanity. They've brought me here to learn sage arts because they hope I can find the child of prophecy and quell a battle that nearly destroys the world..."

Jiraiya is genuinely confused right now.

Although he had signed spiritual contracts with many toads, he never forgot that he was a human.

The lingering spirits of the dead, along with some of the words the Great Toad Immortal had spoken, revealed to him that toads, in another sense, were indeed a demon race, and that they truly ate people.

Therefore, he was conflicted.

The Great Toad Sage's prophecy was for the sake of peace for humanity, but the toads of Mount Myōboku eat people...

"Would you like to see some of Gamamaru's memories?"

Sasuke looked at the parts of his memories that had been extracted by Genin and decided to retrieve a portion of them so that Jiraiya could look at them with him.

Besides Jiraiya, he also called out Black Zetsu.

Perhaps because of Ashura, Black Zetsu also transformed into a small black cat after appearing this time, perching on Sasuke's shoulder and nodding repeatedly.

"This section contains its initial memories of how it initially seduced Hagoromo and Hamura..."

Sasuke copied this extracted memory into a blurred scene.

At the beginning, there is a little toad in the picture, quietly observing a family of three playing on the hillside.

The mother was gentle and loving; two little children with horns on their heads played and frolicked around her, innocent and adorable...

However, after observing the two children repeatedly, as they grew into adolescence, Gamamaru finally found an opportunity to strike.

She manipulated her two sons, making them stand against their mother, which then escalated to a life-or-death confrontation...

Like a poorly made projector, it couldn't display the entire scene seamlessly; it merely pieced together fragments of footage until Kaguya Otsutsuki was finally sealed away, at which point Gamamaru revealed a smug smile.

"Mom...Mom was sealed away by those two bastards like this!"

After reading this, Black Zetsu was so enraged that he couldn't maintain his form, his expression shifting between a ferocious demon and a crying child...
