Chapter 199 The Wind of Rebellion, the Black Witch Tsubaki's Disarray

Despite Kagura's wariness, Shinji Kaminaga had no intention of attacking her.

He simply smiled as he looked at her delicate face, his gaze involuntarily drifting to her fair, jade-like feet, which were enveloped in a gentle breeze.

"I can see that, Naraku's clone. Kagura-san, what brings you here so late at night instead of sleeping?"

Kagura secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he did not attack her.

"It's simple, I want to work with you."

"Oh, a collaboration? Tell me about it." Shinji Kaminaga showed an interested expression and patted a stone next to him, gesturing for her to sit down.

Kagura hesitated for a moment, then gently sat down beside him. After organizing her thoughts, she slowly began to speak: "Although I am an incarnation created by Naraku, I yearn for a free life. But Naraku doesn't trust me or Kanna at all. He holds our hearts in his hands and can kill us at any time."

"I don't want to live this life where my life is controlled by Naraku anymore, and you are Naraku's greatest enemy. Naraku fears your and Kikyo's power."

"Therefore, I can provide you with Naraku's location so we can cooperate to ambush him. What do you think?"

After she finished speaking, Kagura stared intently at him, her eyes filled with anticipation.

It's clear that she really wants to defeat her creator, Naraku.

No wonder.

Because Naraku understands the evil in human nature so well, he is afraid of betrayal. From the beginning, he held Kagura and Kanna's hearts in his hands to ensure that nothing went wrong.

But in doing so, Naraku also lost the hearts of Kagura and Kanna.

Shinji Kaminaga sighed and shook his head in refusal at Kagura's suggestion.

"To be honest, this suggestion isn't very good."

"You—you don't want to?"

Kagura stared at him with wide eyes, somewhat angrily.

She risked being discovered by Naraku and even her life to come here as an inside agent, but this guy actually rejected her!

Kagura was furious, but she couldn't help but feel despair.

If this guy tells Naraku about his defection, he's doomed.

"Hmph, coward! If you're unwilling, fine, I'll find a way myself!"

With a cold expression, Kagura snorted and turned to leave, about to unleash her feathered mount.

Shinji Kaminaga grabbed her small hand.

"Why are you in such a hurry? There's a reason why I'm not attacking Naraku right now. I didn't say I wouldn't help you. No wonder you're the younger sister and Kanna is the older sister. You really have no patience at all."

"You—you'd help me?"

Upon hearing this, Kagura felt both ashamed and pleasantly surprised.

"Of course, how could I remain indifferent when such a beautiful girl like you risks her life to ask for help?"

Shinji Kaminaga smiled gently and continued, "Actually, I could kill Naraku at any time, but you probably don't know that Naraku's true nature is a puppet created by the Shikon Jewel. That's why he can become stronger so quickly by using the Shikon Jewel."

"If you kill one Naraku, the Shikon Jewel can easily create another one, and then it will never end."

"Therefore, Kikyo and I are intentionally waiting for Naraku to collect the complete Shikon Jewel, so that we can wipe out all the evil spirits associated with it."

"Otherwise, why do you think the Shikon Jewel shards we placed in Maple Village were so easily stolen?"

Hearing this, Kagura couldn't help but smile.

"I see, you were deliberately playing the long game to catch a big fish, I think I understand now."

"It's good that you understand. Since Miss Kagura is so sincere, I'll give you a gift too."

As he spoke, Shinji Kaminaga condensed a beam of light and placed it in Kagura's palm.

Kagura, feeling the warm light, was momentarily stunned. "What is this?"

"It's light. Someone once said that each of us can actually become light through our own power."

"Kagura, I have truly received your yearning for freedom."

"This is a special light that can enter your heart. When you need my help, just silently say my name in your heart, especially when Naraku reveals your and Kanna's hearts. I can help you take back your hearts."

"Hmm, how do I fit in?" Kagura looked at him anxiously, her eyes full of expectation.

"You can blend in instantly if you want."

As soon as Shinji Kaminaga finished speaking, the light instantly merged into her body.

"Um—thank you." Kagura gritted her teeth, looking at the gentle-looking man in front of her.

"If you can help me retrieve my heart, I will definitely repay you."

Hearing this, Shinji Kaminaga released her small hand and said with a smile, "I look forward to your repayment, but it's late now, I'm going to sleep, Kagura, see you later."

"Okay, goodbye."

Nodding, Kagura looked at him intently for a few moments, then removed the feather from her head, grew larger, and sat on it.

Then, she rose with the wind and disappeared into the vast night.

Shinji Kaminaga returned to the shrine in a cheerful mood.

Naraku is such a good person.

If Naraku had treated Kagura and Kanna sincerely, perhaps those two would have wholeheartedly helped him.

But now things have gotten complicated. Naraku has foolishly used the method of controlling other people's hearts to coerce them into doing things for him.

This shrewd move directly pushed Kagura and Kanna to his side.

After leaving Maple Village, Kagura continued to act like a loyal subordinate, capturing miscellaneous monsters everywhere.

This was the task Naraku gave her.

However, compared to her previous reluctance, she is now full of enthusiasm.

The best thing to do is to collect all the Shikon Jewels as soon as possible, and then find a way to make Naraku deliberately take out his and Kanna's hearts to show them off. That will be the moment when she and Kanna gain their freedom!

With her spoils in hand, Kagura quickly returned to Naraku's lair, using her demonic power to throw all the miscellaneous demons into a designated cave.

The cave was sealed off and had been subjected to witchcraft by Naraku.

The monsters inside will constantly fight each other, eventually becoming the strongest individual.

Then, Naraku will seize the body of this strongest individual and fuse them together using the Shikon Jewel.

In this way, he, a half-demon, could obtain a powerful body comparable to that of a great demon!

Sitting on the skull chair, Naraku's gloomy gaze fell on Kagura.

"You're back?"

"Yes." Kagura responded with the same indifferent attitude as before.

Naraku smiled knowingly. "You've caught quite a few demons today. Why are you so proactive? Did something fun happen?"

Upon hearing this, Kagura immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"Wouldn't it be better to be more proactive? After all, I'm someone you created, so isn't it only natural for me to help you?"

Kagura calmly offered an explanation.

Naraku sneered.

"is that so?"

"————!"

Naraku stared at Kagura with a gloomy expression and said sternly, "Don't forget, your heart is in my hands. You'd better not have any improper thoughts, or else—you know the consequences."

"Yes." Kagura replied meekly, her delicate body trembling slightly, but in her heart, she felt an even greater hatred for the person who created her.

Naraku threatens her whether she performs well or poorly; Naraku is like a madman.

Working under Naraku must have been incredibly frustrating.

Moreover, as the Wind Messenger, she has to deal with those disgusting little monsters all day long, which is infuriating to even think about.

After giving his restless subordinate a warning, Naraku immediately dispatched him on a mission.

"In a few days, find a priestess named Tsubaki. She's Kikyo's old rival, and she'll definitely come looking for trouble when she sees Kikyo resurrected."

"By the way, bring this Shikon Jewel to her as well."

"Yes."

Kagura dared not refuse, and under her breath, she took the Shikon Jewel shards and left the lair.

Before leaving, she glanced at Naraku's silent sister, Shinna, who was holding a mirror beside him.

A slight smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

You wouldn't believe it, Naraku, but my sister also longs for freedom, just like me!

a few days later.

Naraku successfully obtained this fairly powerful demon body through sorcery.

However, just to be on the safe side, he still sent Kagura to contact the rumored black witch Tsubaki.

Using Kanna's mirror, Kagura quickly found the house where the black shrine maiden Tsubaki was.

After briefly explaining the request, the eyes of the exquisitely beautiful black shrine maiden with white hair, Tsubaki, lit up.

"Kikyo has actually come back to life? Heh, that's perfect, let me see if it's true or not."

Tsubaki harbors deep jealousy towards Kikyo.

Kagura looked at Tsubaki with a sinister smile, said nothing, handed the Shikon Jewel shard that Naraku had given her to Tsubaki, and left immediately.

Of course, she didn't return to Naraku's lair, but went to inform Shinji Kaminaga.

However, she didn't report the news immediately; instead, she went to catch small monsters as usual.

Inside the lair, Naraku was watching Kagura's actions through Kanna's mirror.

Seeing that Kagura showed no signs of betrayal, he instructed Kanna to turn the camera to the movements of the shrine maiden Tsubaki.

At night.

Kagura then arrived at Maple Village and met Shinji Kaminaga.

"Here's what happened."

She told Shinji Kaminaga about Naraku's request for the black priestess Tsubaki to cause trouble, and warned him to be careful.

The Black Witch's greatest skill is cursing; if you're not careful, you'll suffer greatly.

"I understand what's going on, but Kagura, it's best if you don't see me until you get your heart back. Just pray in your heart using the method I taught you, and I'll hear you."

"It can be done like this? I understand." Kagura nodded vigorously.

"Well then—I'll head back now, or Naraku will get suspicious."

After saying that, Kagura glanced at him reluctantly before leaving.

I feel incredibly safe and secure when I'm with Shinji Kaminaga.

Furthermore, she secretly observed the situation in Maple Village with Kanna through a mirror.

Unlike Naraku's oppressive rule, Kagura greatly envied the atmosphere in which Shinji Kaminaga interacted with the girls around him.

She really desperately wanted freedom.

Immediately afterwards, he told Kikyo and the others that the black witch Tsubaki was coming to cause trouble.

"Black Witch Tsubaki, what a nostalgic name."

After listening to his story, Kikyo's expression became complicated.

She had once worked with the shrine maiden Tsubaki to exorcise demons, but after a period of time, she had not seen her and Tsubaki had fallen into darkness and become a black shrine maiden.

Chun even cursed her and ambushed her.

However, she countered with her bow, sending the shikigami flying back.

"Kikyo, what are your plans to do against the Black Witch Tsubaki?"

Shinji Kaminaga couldn't help but show a curious expression.

Upon hearing this, Kikyo's lips curled up slightly.

"It just so happens that the Maple Shrine is short of a teacher, and besides, Master Tsubaki, that great mage, also taught me magic before, so I want to guide the shrine maiden Tsubaki back to the right path."

As she spoke, Kikyo pulled Yukino and the others aside and started chattering about countermeasures.

Shinichi Kaminari's eyes twitched slightly.

Besides Kikyo, Yukino and the others are also quite strong now.

The thought of the shrine maiden Tsubaki coming and facing an attack from several other shrine maidens made him want to laugh.

It was evening.

With a confident smile, the black witch, Tsubaki, made thorough preparations and arrived near Maple Village.

During this time, through exorcism, Yukino Yukinoshita and the others also collected 6 Shikon Jewel shards.

At this moment, these six fragments are displayed openly in the shrine of the wooden house.

Having obtained the six fragments, the shrine maiden Tsubaki couldn't help but reveal a mocking smile.

"It seems that Kikyo and the shrine maiden at this shrine aren't very wary. Haha, that's perfect for me."

However, after saying that...

Several anti-magic arrows shot in from all directions.

"Oh no! An ambush!"

The shrine maiden Tsubaki's expression changed as she tried to control the snake-like monster within her.

result.

In less than a minute, under the combined attack of Kikyo, Kagome, Yukino, and Mahiru, the shrine maiden Tsubaki was bound like a dumpling and collapsed to the ground in a sorry state.

"Despicable! Kikyo, you actually led so many people to ambush me! Shameless!"

Upon hearing this, Kikyo's lips curled up, revealing a playful smile.

"As a thief, it's already a big favor that we all ganged up on you, Black Witch Tsubaki."

"No matter how you treat an uninvited thief, it's not too much."

Feeling the sealed spiritual power, Chun gritted her teeth and turned her face away.

"You despicable Kikyo! And you despicable little priestesses! You win, kill me or do whatever you want! I admit defeat!"

She might lose the argument, but she wouldn't back down. Although she was extremely resentful, since she'd already been arrested, she might as well let them do whatever they wanted.

Seeing the shrine maiden Tsubaki's resigned and do-nothing attitude, Kikyo sighed.

"Don't think so badly of us. We're not like you. Besides, your master taught me the Dharma, so I won't kill you."

"Oh, so you're going to let me go? I came here specifically to cause trouble. A demon named Naraku asked me to come, and he even gave me a Shikon Jewel shard."

Upon hearing this, Kikyo's expression changed, and she stared at her seriously.

"You used a Shikon Jewel shard?"

"Hmm—I haven't had a chance to use it yet."

Tsubaki was startled by Kikyo's words and instinctively blurted out the truth, but the next second she immediately retorted, "If I used it, you definitely wouldn't be able to catch me so easily!"

"idiot!"

Kikyo couldn't help but curse.

"What did you say? Kikyo, I was just careless this time. You're the idiot!"

Chun was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

She already didn't get along with Kikyo, and now that Kikyo had scolded her, she immediately lost her temper.
