The Five-Tailed Mu King

Once you met the real Consort Yu, just see whether that bad-tempered old virgin cursed you or not.

Shuten-dōji spoke again. "You don't seem to be only eighteen, do you?"

After all, Emperor Toba reigned from August 9, 1107, to February 25, 1123. Records stated that The Algae Woman entered the palace at eighteen, yet it was only 982 now. Only a ghost would believe the Algae Woman before them was eighteen...

Bai Ming glanced at Shuten-dōji. Fine, even ghosts did not believe The Algae Woman was eighteen. He had already begun considering whether he could trick that old grandmaster over with a single sentence and have him beat up The Algae Woman.

After thinking it over, he decided against it. His damned senior brother had practically been carved from the same mold as Merlin. If he saw him, Bai Ming's Black Mamba Elbow would probably land on that unlucky senior brother's face before he even reacted to The Algae Woman.

"Are you really eighteen?"

"Guaranteed genuine."

Bai Ming immediately lost it and shouted, "The hell do you mean, guaranteed genuine? Show me how you replace it! Demonstrate your magical hymen restoration surgery for me!"

Shuten-dōji: Why did this concubine not understand what Master was saying?

The Algae Woman: Huh?!

"Um—"

"Not letting me see? Or were you just talking big? Shuten, close the door and unleash Setanta! Either way, I can take it as you trying to toy with me!"

The Algae Woman immediately panicked. "Wait, I-I can! Don't let the dog out!"

Bai Ming: "?"

Wait, you were really going to show me?

"No, wait a second?"

You were startled by The Algae Woman's outrageous behavior, but considering that she was essentially love-brained too, you found it fairly normal.

But when you considered that she was Amaterasu Ōmikami's divided spirit, you felt it was not normal at all. Before you could say anything, The Algae Woman rolled her eyes back and collapsed.

System: I screwed up. I didn't manage to let you possess Takemikazuchi, but I got Izanami, Izanagi, and Amaterasu killed for you.

Bai Ming: You're full of martial virtue too?

System: No, I called over a classmate who siphons Pangu's blood essence and drained the three of them to death. We split it fifty-fifty. I stuffed their godhoods, divine artifacts, and everything else into your system space.

Bai Ming: Where did that system go?

System: It had its graduation project, so it left first.

You discovered that your system was just as absurd as you were, and you also figured out why The Algae Woman had faceplanted.

As Amaterasu Ōmikami's divided spirit, The Algae Woman was naturally affected to some extent when Amaterasu was suddenly killed.

Bai Ming rubbed his brow. He had not expected the system to pull something this huge. Come to think of it, Amaterasu seemed to be Shinto's highest deity...

"Carry her away first."

Bai Ming thought, Sigh, poor Algae Woman. Before she could even finish going into heat, the system stole her nest.

Hearing Bai Ming's words, Shuten-dōji immediately brightened. "Leave this slutty fox with the obscene figure to this concubine. She's obviously a fox, so why is she built like a dairy cow?"

"No, put her down."

Seeing Shuten-dōji's look of deep hatred for large breasts, Bai Ming feared that she would slaughter Tamamo-no-Mae while she was unconscious.

Shuten-dōji looked at you without speaking. She merely gestured at her own demon heart, then gestured at The Algae Woman's fox heart.

The fox heart utterly crushed the demon heart.

Shuten-dōji released the unconscious Tamamo-no-Mae and left with heavy steps. She still needed to consider how to trigger the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, or perhaps how to lure out Yamata no Orochi for you to kill.

You merely watched Shuten-dōji's retreating figure in silence, considering whether to compensate her tonight.

After Shuten-dōji left, your gaze fell upon Setanta Fafnir, who was eating nearby.

"Idiot dog, come here. Do you want a godhood?"

"Woof?"

"Mainly because Cú Chulainn has divinity, apparently as some Sun God's son. If I give you this Amaterasu godhood, then you'll be a Sun God dog, and Cú Chulainn will be your dog son..."

Even Bai Ming did not know what he was talking about.

Bai Ming rose, dragged the unconscious The Algae Woman over, and tossed her onto a couch nearby.

Since he had nothing better to do, he might as well go out and beat up Ashiya Doman under the pretext of offering martial arts guidance.

You beat up Ashiya Doman.

Ashiya Doman's favorability toward you dropped as low as it could possibly go.

You beat up Ashiya Doman again because of that.

Ashiya Doman decided that from now on, he would keep well away from Consort Yu (you).

After beating up Ashiya Doman, you returned to the room. The Algae Woman and Minamoto no Yorimitsu were confronting each other inside.

Apparently, because your system had blown Amaterasu into loot, The Algae Woman could get in but could not get out, leaving her stranded in Minamoto no Yorimitsu's residence.

You strode over and slapped both The Algae Woman's and Minamoto no Yorimitsu's chests. The fox heart and warrior's heart were both extremely elastic, so you witnessed the legendary three bounces from one slap.

Talent Flower Thief activated.

Sigh, poor Shuten.

Bai Ming thought this, then agreed to The Algae Woman's proposal of love and immediately went to sleep with Tamamo-no-Mae and Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

When Sei Shōnagon returned from gathering scenery outside and heard the decadent sounds coming from the room, she charged in after two quick thumps and joined them.

In the war between the extra-large cup and the large cup, the smallest cup had no standing. Please admire this famous Japanese painting: "The Smallest-Cup Shuten Considers How to Trigger the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons to Demonstrate Her Worth and Seize Her Position"!

Most of that night's firepower was focused on The Algae Woman, to the point that fox ears and a fox tail burst out from beneath her transformed disguise.

Bai Ming grabbed one fox tail, while Sei Shōnagon and Minamoto no Yorimitsu each held one of her hands.

Tamamo-no-Mae's body truly was that of an eighteen-year-old. Bai Ming could tell as soon as he touched her bones, and after enjoying her, it was indeed brand-new and unopened. It seemed that The Algae Woman was merely one incarnation. Though her bloodline was that of the Hakumen Kinmō Kyūbi no Kitsune, she currently had only one tail.

He had thought he would be able to grab three tails at once.

"From now on, your name will be Tamamo-no-Mae."

Tamamo-no-Mae looked at Bai Ming, who was pulling her tail, with watery QAQ eyes. This should not have happened, right? Why had things turned out like this?

Shouldn't she have used the fox's marriage rite on the good man before her, then lived shamelessly and happily with him for the rest of her life?

Though she was living shamelessly and happily now too, this was far too different from what she had imagined! Why did the first time start directly with that?

With a click, Tamamo-no-Mae, her eyes dazed, touched the collar around her neck and suddenly came to her senses. Looking at the contract before her, she stopped thinking.

"Come, sign this contract, Tamamo~ From today onward—"

Talent Greedy Wolf Star activated.

"You can only be my toy. From the past to the future, forever."

Taking a day off. The author is preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam, and the test site is over ten kilometers from home. By the time I got back, I had no energy left to write. Tomorrow, my family is dragging me out to buy clothes too. Update in the afternoon.

Five-Tailed King Mu

Tamamo-no-Mae was unwilling to sign such a contract, but on second thought, she seemed to have no room to refuse. In the end, she signed the unequal contract.

For Tamamo-no-Mae, this was truly a case of curiosity killing the fox. Had she not come here, she would not have become a pet fox on the same level of existence as Shuten-dōji.

Tamamo-no-Mae believed that she would be free once she endured until your death. What she did not know was that you were ruthless; when you died, you would definitely take her with you.

On the first day, Tamamo-no-Mae was immersed in lovemaking.

On the second day, Tamamo-no-Mae was immersed in lovemaking.

On the seventh day, Tamamo-no-Mae felt that she was far more useful than Shuten-dōji and launched a fox's provocation at her. Among mascots and pets occupying the same position, one of them was enough!

Tamamo-no-Mae returned in crushing defeat. After all, Shuten-dōji was responsible for feeding and walking Setanta every day. Both being canines, Tamamo-no-Mae, the Hakumen Kinmō Kyūbi no Kitsune, was chased everywhere by Setanta, the Shiba Inu with dragon blood, until she could only hide behind you.

"Sigh, little Tamamo, why put yourself through this?"

Bai Ming picked up Setanta with one hand and held him in his arms. "You're one of Heian-kyo's Three Great Yokai. How can you be afraid of Setanta?"

"Th-this dog has dragon blood and dragon might!"

Tamamo-no-Mae was on the verge of collapse.

There was no need to mention Shuten-dōji. Minamoto no Yorimitsu was Gozu Tennō's daughter, with enough martial strength to directly cut down either Tamamo-no-Mae or Shuten-dōji. Even this Shiba Inu was no easy opponent.

Was this still Heian-kyo? Where had the Heian-kyo in which she could act as she pleased gone?

Bai Ming shook his head. "Because this is my meritorious dog, I need to strengthen my dog."

It was like how Fujimaru Ritsuka piled most of Chaldea's resources onto Red Hare in Carnival Phantasm. There was no room for discussion.

Bai Ming looked toward Shuten-dōji, who had returned from outside. "Shuten, everything's settled, right?"

"No problem. Once the many yokai heard that The Algae Woman was being pinned beneath Master every day, they naturally became furious."

Shuten-dōji smiled sweetly. "The Algae Woman's beauty is famous, after all. They cannot even catch a glimpse of her, much less tolerate her being forced by a 'human' like Master to sign a contract and become a concubine. They're jealous to death."

"Mikon~ Little Tamamo is naturally brimming with charm!"

Tamamo-no-Mae basked smugly for several seconds before sensing that something was wrong. "Wait? The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons? What are you planning?"

Bai Ming chuckled without explaining.

Legend had it that the places where yokai lived spatially overlapped with the places where humans lived.

Humans were active during the day, while yokai appeared at night.

But during the Heian period, Japan's humans were weak while yokai were strong, so monstrous evils ran rampant even in broad daylight.

The so-called Night Parade of One Hundred Demons was nothing more than a demonstrative march in which over a hundred different yokai appeared at once. If they dared to come, then he dared to go completely insane.

You prepared a large number of talismans: lightning-drawing ones, fire-starting ones, binding ones, magic-reducing ones, anti-flight ones, anti-burrowing ones...

You first found Abe no Seimei and explained your idea. Abe no Seimei believed it was worth trying, so he agreed.

Then you found Ashiya Doman, who wanted to hide from you but failed to do so. Tempting him with the promise of leaving his name in history, you successfully got Ashiya Doman to bring a large group of onmyoji into your ranks, then quietly waited for the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons to arrive.

"What I seek is not merely the extermination of yokai..."

"Master, a yokai claiming to be Pénghóu is outside seeking an audience. It says it is willing to submit to you and become your mount."

Pénghóu—or rather, the Five-tailed Pénghóu—was the prototype of Naruto's Five-Tailed King Mu. However, this Pénghóu differed from the records in In Search of the Supernatural. The Pénghóu recorded there had a human face and dog body, while this Pénghóu was a great white five-tailed dog possessing the elemental powers of Wind, Fire, Water, Earth, Thunder. When it used all five elemental powers at once, it could trigger a massive earthquake.

It was a genuine great yokai.

"A mount?"

Bai Ming thought, Though the species of these yokai differ, after learning that I make Tamamo-no-Mae serve me every day and treat Shuten-dōji as a maid, shouldn't they hate me as a common enemy and fight me to the end? Why are there always yokai traitors defecting in advance?

"Then let it come in."

Bai Ming figured that all those unlucky senior brothers of his had impressive entourages whenever they went out, while he had nothing because he had been born in the modern era. Not long after leaving Yuqing Kunlun, he had gone to Chaldea. He did not even have anything to show off or guard the door. He might as well capture some yokai and reform them. Whether he could ride them or not, they would at least add some prestige.

It was a snow-white great dog, capable of changing its size at will. Majestic and handsome, its five tails housed the powers of Wind, Fire, Water, Earth, Thunder.

You signed a contract with Pénghóu, bestowed upon it the name King Mu, and called it Five-Tails. It was obvious that you could not forget Naruto.

But you felt that Five-Tails' strength was relatively weak and needed proper cultivation. Thus, you led Pénghóu in related training—because Pénghóu liked drawing natural elements from nature, you pulled the Five Elements Great Evasion from the Thought Key Patterns and taught it to Pénghóu.

Now, under your command, there were Minamoto no Yorimitsu's Four Heavenly Kings of Yorimitsu, the guard dog Setanta Fafnir, the lone demon king Shuten-dōji, Tamamo-no-Mae with her beauty capable of bringing down nations, and Five-Tailed King Mu as a mount. In a sense, your high-end combat power was stronger than that of Emperor En'yū, Japan's current sixty-fourth emperor.

"If I remember correctly, Japan's emperor is basically just a figurehead now, right?"

Bai Ming suddenly asked. Two question marks appeared above Tamamo-no-Mae's head. Why had this man suddenly started thinking about that again?

Tamamo-no-Mae simply could not keep up with Bai Ming's leaps in thought, but Sei Shōnagon quickly did. While considering why Bai Ming wanted to target the Fujiwara clan, she answered, "Mm... I remember that when I was little, Prince Morihira was placed on the throne by the Fujiwara clan."

So he really was going after the Fujiwara clan?

Light flashed in Sei Shōnagon's eyes. If he was truly going to depose the emperor and destroy the Fujiwara clan, that would be far too interesting. But after hearing Bai Ming's next question, the light vanished from her eyes. So he was not going to cause trouble?

"Is Fujiwara no Fuhito still alive?"

"How could he be? He was from the Asuka period!"
