Chapter 131 The Hand That Was Born Evil
"Why was Mother killed that day? Have we, the last remaining spirit fox clan, ever harmed you humans?"
Matoba Seiji lowered his head. "Because someone... has offered a high reward for the precious pelts of the Spirit Fox Clan, and we also need a more powerful demon beast shikigami."
Masaki Senju's voice trembled slightly.
"So that's why they killed my mother... it wasn't for some demon-slaying ritual after all?"
Matoba Seiji gritted his teeth and suddenly looked up at Uchiha Ryo.
"You... you're on the side of the monsters? Or are you also...!"
Uchiha Ryo coughed lightly. "I am a perfectly legitimate human, but I don't care about the hatred between humans and demons. The only people I care about are the ones around me."
"You take the lives of monsters for your own gain, and the monsters slaughter you for revenge. This is the law of the world, the law of the jungle. I've already done more than enough by helping you capture that big fox, haven't I?"
Uchiha Ryo looked at the Senju Shinju beside him.
"So, what are you going to do? Kill him? I won't stop you."
Masaki Senju glared angrily at Matoba Seiji, and Uchiha Ryo could sense the killing intent emanating from the little fox, but...
"Forget it, what difference would it make if I killed him? I plan to take my mother's soul back to the Divine Tree and see if the Divine Tree has any solutions."
Uchiha Ryo nodded. "Alright then, next, Master, let's talk about our business."
.....
In a café in Tokyo's Ginza district, Uchiha Ryo once again sighed, "Although Danzo himself is really annoying, the cursed seal he used to control people is really useful."
The Deba clan, as a demon-slaying clan with a history spanning hundreds of years, certainly possesses considerable resources, but before that...
"What do you plan to do? Continue studying in the human world, or go back to your side?"
Masaki Senju was holding an old porcelain bottle, which was the sealing bottle used by the Toba clan to seal away demons. Inside was his mother's soul.
"I still believe that just as there are many heinous monsters among us who only know how to kill, there are also truly kind people among humans... As long as my identity is not exposed, I should go back to school."
Uchiha Ryo: "I remember your sister said you were a student at Shuchiin Academy? Me too."
Masaki Senju: "Yes, I'm in the junior high school section of Shuchiin Academy."
Shuchiin Junior High School, huh? Uchiha Ryo hadn't noticed their presence the last few times he visited the junior high school.
It has to be said that the disguise of the Senju and the others was quite successful. If I hadn't activated my Sharingan, I probably wouldn't have discovered their true identities.
"Eh? Senior is a student in the senior high school... That was really close..."
Shinju Senju had taken Uchiha Ryo's strength seriously. Fortunately, this human was different from those demon hunters. If he had faced him... he probably wouldn't have even been able to struggle.
Uchiha Ryo picked up his coffee. "Don't worry so much. I'm quite friendly towards demons. My younger brother has one."
Masaki Senju: "Raise?"
Uchiha Ryo: "Oh, I should say... a friend. That monster protects my younger brother, and my younger brother is also raising that monster."
"Monsters and humans! Can they really be friends?!"
The look of utter surprise on Shinju Senju's face surprised Uchiha Ryo.
"Don't you have any friends at school? If you really don't have any friends, I can introduce you to a tech geek who also doesn't have any friends."
Masaki Senju shook his head.
"I do have friends, but their friend is the human, Masaki Senju... But as you said, it's a bit surprising that your brother and the yokai can become friends even though they know each other's identities."
Uchiha Ryo: "If there's a chance, I can introduce you to him."
Speaking of which, Nyanko-sensei's true form is also a fox... I just don't know if he has any connection with the spirit fox.
Masaki Senju: "Please let me meet this kind of human!"
After saying that, Masaki Senju suddenly covered his mouth and then glanced at the coffee shop where there were no other customers besides them.
"...Is it really okay for us to talk about this in the coffee shop?"
Uchiha Ryo waved his hand, "This coffee shop is mine, and the staff are all in the kitchen, they can't hear us."
"Your coffee shop?!"
To be precise, it belonged to the Shinomiya family, but Shinomiya Hiromitsu "had a car accident" that night, so most of his assets and businesses were taken over by Shinomiya Un'taka, and this coffee shop was naturally given to Uchiha Ryo.
"Oh, right, Senior Ling!"
Uchiha Ryo: "Say what you have to say, then go back and stay there. I suddenly remembered that I have something important to do."
Masaki Senju: "You said my sister sent me to save me! How do you and my sister know each other?! You two?!"
Uchiha Ryo stood up and smacked Shinju Senju on the forehead.
"You're overthinking it. I haven't even finished conquering humans yet, how could I possibly go looking for monsters? And what's with your unlucky name, Thousand Hands? How dare you call yourself a Thousand Hands, a name associated with inherent evil?!"
Senju Masaki clutched his forehead. "Ouch... Why did you hit me! Senju is a name I gave myself in honor of the Divine Tree, how could it be evil!"
Uchiha Ryo shook his head, too lazy to explain. The Uchiha were a clan of love, known for their deep and passionate love.
Where is the evil? Isn't the truly evil one the one targeting Tobirama Senju? Hmph, that inherently evil old man from the Senju clan, if I had the chance to go back, I would beat him so badly he wouldn't even be able to vomit.
Masaki Senju left, thrown out by Uchiha Ryo. It's the weekend! Why is he having coffee with a man, and a monster at that?!
Not long after, Hayasaka Ai, wearing a light blue dress, walked in.
"Ling-kun! Kaguya-sama promised to give me one day off every week, where are we going today!"
Uchiha Ryo stood up. "Let's go, let's go to Starry Sky first. I remember today is the day of the Bond Band's audition."
Hayasaka Ai: "An assessment? What kind of assessment?"
Uchiha Ryo: "Little Lonely's band wants to officially perform at that music bar, and they need the manager's approval, so they've been practicing their songs a lot lately. Let's go listen to them."
Hayasaka Ai nodded. "That little loner, her social anxiety is still quite severe, isn't it..."
"Yeah, it's probably still a long way to go before she can overcome her social anxiety."
Hayasaka Ai gazed at Uchiha Ryo's profile.
"Ling Jun, you are so gentle."
Uchiha Ryo turned his head and lightly tapped Hayasaka Ai's forehead. "Gentle, huh? I don't see myself that way." After all, he had just used Susanoo to threaten others.
