Chapter 252 I want to see the strength of the Nura Commander-in-Chief.
"Wait...wait a minute! Is there anything wrong with the building here, Shinomiya-kun? The windows are making a lot of noise from the wind!"
Fujiwara Chika huddled under the blanket on the sofa. "Ugh...this storm came way too fast!"
Kaguya Shinomiya said in a deep voice, "The engineers the Shinomiya family hired are all top-notch in the industry. If you're scared, you can go back to your room and get some sleep."
Hiratsuka Shizuka stood up and drew the curtains.
"Alright, alright, just stop looking outside. Xiaohua and Liumei, you two should go to bed early."
After shooing the two elementary school students into the room, Hiratsuka Shizuka returned to the sofa and patted Fujiwara Chika on the shoulder.
"You should all go back to your rooms. You can check your phones or get some sleep. The rain will stop tomorrow. Typhoons usually move very quickly and won't be gone for long."
Chitanda Eru rested her chin on her hand. "Ugh, what bad luck... such a rare island trip. Yukino~ I'm so angry, you have to comfort me!"
Yukino sighed and reached out to pinch Chitanda's cheek. "There's no use in getting angry. A typhoon is nature's doing; you can't get angry at a natural disaster."
Hayasaka Ai stood up. "That being said, it's still a bit annoying that our first day of the trip was interrupted. Anyway, let's all rest well at the villa until the storm passes."
Fujiwara Chika poked her head out, "But if we can't go out, we'll get really bored at home."
Yukino: "I can read books here. I found that there are many classic books in the study."
Kaguya Shinomiya: "We can study, and we can hold study sessions."
Fujiwara Chika blinked. "Let's go back to our room and sleep..."
.....
Several kilometers off the island, the Shinomiya family's cruise ship rocked violently in the storm, as if it could capsize at any moment.
However, the cruise ship was surrounded by a thin, pale gold film, which kept out the torrential rain and strong winds.
"Crow Tengu, how's it going? Did you find it?"
"I'm sorry, Commander! In this weather, my children can't fly very far, but judging from the strength of the demonic aura, Isobu is undoubtedly nearby."
The old man nodded. "Kappa, what did you find over there?"
The short boy with an eggshell-like object on his head lowered his head. "Isobu must have discovered us too, so he dived into the deep sea. We dare not go any deeper."
Although these kappa monsters are very familiar with water, this is the ocean. Once they venture into waters hundreds of meters below, their fighting power will probably be reduced to less than one-tenth.
"Hahaha, now that he's discovered us, just wait and see! Knowing Isobu's personality, he'll definitely come looking for trouble."
Meanwhile, a thousand meters above the sea level, above the cumulonimbus clouds, Uchiha Ryo and Enun-chan seemed to float in the sky as if defying Newton's laws.
Yanyun-chan: "You should have learned this ninjutsu a long time ago, it's so useful!"
The cat flew up and down in the air; it was her first time experiencing flight.
Earth Release: Super Light Heavy Rock Technique, greatly reduces the weight of matter and even allows for free flight in the air.
Uchiha Ryo: "If you want me to learn more convenient ninjutsu, you'd better work hard to increase my favorability with you, wouldn't you?"
Yanyunjiang turned her head away: "Never mind... But how are we supposed to find that great white shark when we're this high up in the air?"
According to Uchiha Ryo's initial plan, they did not intend to go into the water and could only wait for Isobu to appear in the air. However, now that there is a ship, they might as well borrow it.
Upon seeing the Shinomiya family's cruise ship below, Uchiha Ryo and Nurarihyon immediately thought of the same method.
That is to "borrow" the ship for a short time, and use the ship to lure out the monster Isobu.
"Let's go down."
The next moment, the black skeleton enveloped Uchiha Ryo and the smoke, and rushed straight into the lightning-streaked cumulonimbus clouds. After passing through the cumulonimbus clouds, which were hundreds of meters thick, Uchiha Ryo saw the cruise ship.
The moment Uchiha Rin appeared, all the Nura Clan yokai turned their gazes toward him.
"What kind of monster is that? A black, monstrous skeleton?"
Nurarihyon: "No, the Ara-Kumo can't fly, and the person coming doesn't have any yokai aura at all..."
Uchiha Rin landed on the deck and looked at the pale golden film above it.
"I didn't expect a group of monsters to know how to create an Onmyoji barrier. Not bad, it's a pretty good spell to keep out the rain."
Nurarihyon: "I've known the Keikain family for hundreds of years. What's wrong with me getting a water-repelling barrier? But you... although you're human, your skills don't seem like those of a Keikain disciple. A leisurely Onmyoji?"
Uchiha Ryo: "You've known Kagein for hundreds of years? Where are you demons from, Tokyo or Kyoto?"
"Human brat! Don't answer questions with questions. How dare you pry into the Commander-in-Chief's identity!"
A demon with a crow's head and a human body wielded a Zen staff, while three others with crow's wings quickly surrounded Uchiha Rin.
Uchiha Ryo watched the group of yokai, who were presumably tengu, with interest. "Hmm, I'm not interested in you. But this old man's leader... let me guess, Nura Clan's Nurarihyon?"
Nurarihyon laughed too. "You recognize me now? Actually, that girl Hyori also gave me a portrait of you. You were the one who dealt with the monsters in Chiba Forest back then, weren't you?"
Karasu Tengu: "What?! He's the Onmyoji that Bingli was talking about, the one who's even stronger than a Great Demon!"
Modern society is not like the Edo period hundreds of years ago. The Nura Clan was at its peak then. Both the first leader, Nurarihyon, and the second leader, Rihan, possessed combat power that surpassed that of ordinary great yokai.
But the current Nura Clan... not to mention surpassing the Great Demons, it's hard to even find a single Great Demon-level fighter.
Uchiha Ryo picked at his ear. "Although I don't quite understand what level this 'great demon' you're talking about is, I'm not here to cause you trouble today. Hey! Old man, tell me everything about that guy in the water, and I'll take care of it!"
Nurarihyon tilted his head back and chuckled. "Karasu Tengu, you may leave. There are others too... Since he meant no harm, there's no need to be so tense."
With Nurarihyon's order, the dozens of demons surrounding Uchiha Rin finally began to retreat and then all left the deck.
"I'm also here to hunt down Isobu. Why should I share information with you? Can you give me a reason?"
Uchiha Ryo thought for a moment, "The reason... is that I'm strong enough, that's enough!"
"What an arrogant little brat! Although Bingli described to me that the battle was like a cataclysmic giant, I still want to experience that power for myself!"
Yanyun-chan silently retreated, a little worried... worried that she might be accidentally injured by her master, or that she might destroy the ship. As for Uchiha Ryo's safety? Heh.
"You two idiots! Don't fight now!"
Just as Nurarihyon was about to make his move, a giant white fox descended from the sky, shook its fur which was soaked by the downpour, and transformed into a very fat cat.
"What's the point of you two fighting? The target isn't Isobu!"
Uchiha Ryo: "Nyanko-sensei, you and Yanyun-chan step aside. I also want to see the strength of the Nura Chief Commander."
Nurarihyon stopped what she was doing and glanced at the fat cat on the ground.
"It's Madara! How come you've changed so much after all these decades? Were you sealed away?"
