The next day, everyone was full of excitement, waiting for the continuation of the tournament they had been eagerly anticipating. Naturally, this round of the tournament didn't disappoint anyone, as it was more exciting because the fighters who could become the winner were strong fighters who could win and showed their strength in the first round.
Yet, even so, everyone was surprised when they saw that Tokita Ohma's opponent had changed into a different person. While this person was still a member of the Kure Clan, Kure Raian, the Devil, who had killed his opponent deliberately, Mokichi Robinso, was nowhere to be seen.
Fortunately, Mokichi was able to be saved due to the genius doctor, who was also part of the fighters within the tournament, but even so, when Raian wasn't in the tournament, the current representative fighter of Under Mount Inc changed into Kure Reichi, which still surprised all of them.
"Where is that guy? Is he running away because he thought I would fight him?"
The MC of this world, Tokita Ohma, who had a good rest and nice training, looked at Kure Reiichi with a smug and cocky smile, which made Reichi recall Shinra's demon-like figure that made him shudder.
Still, Reichi didn't answer Tokita and just thought to finish this fight as soon as possible.
Regardless, while many wondered where Reian was, the entire Kure Clan was tight-lipped, and no one thought to expose anything.
"Shinra, when are we going to have a baby?"
Sitting on Shinra's lap, Karura acted coquettishly as she looked at him with an obsession.
"....."
Only, Shinra stared at Karura blankly, wondering whether this girl was silly, crazy, or simply ignorant. It might be okay if she were ignorant, since that way he knew well that she wasn't informed about last night's battle. Meanwhile, if Karura got close to him and even wished to have his children, even if he had killed Raian, then he would say that the Kure Clan had a mental illness.
Yet, regardless of her attitude, the attitude of the Kure Clan was to just let it go, ignoring the past, and even sent Karura to his side, making him understand why this clan had persisted from the Asuka period.
'A clan that has existed for thousands of years...'
In this world, besides the Kure Clan, Shinra wondered whether there was a family that had persisted for so long and continued to maintain its authority.
'But I don't regret it.'
After what he encountered in the world of Naruto, he knew that the weak had no rights. Instead of letting a wild dog that would cause trouble everywhere, it was better to kill it directly, as it could serve as a warning to everyone that it wasn't someone they should mess with.
Kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
Most monkeys were naughty, and he needed to teach them so they would be obedient.
If he wished to, he could do what Itachi did to the Uchiha Clan, erase everyone in the family, from the old, baby, men, and women, simply make them extinct, but instead of dying, in his mind, they were more useful when they lived as they could be used as his family's army in this world.
Power.
If he didn't have it, he knew that he wouldn't have any leeway, thinking to let them go, but as he had it, he could have a choice about what to do with them.
'There is also Karura...'
"Hmm?" Karura's face turned crimson as he met his eyes, which were filled with a certain meaning. "D-Do you want to do it now~!
"...."
Even if this girl was a bit silly, if she were somehow pregnant with his child, then their children might become the Clan Head of the Kure Clan, especially when Karura was still within the part of Erioh's family tree.
"....."
'No, no! Stop it, Shinra! How can you think like that?!'
Unlike Mikoto and Shion, who were together due to love, if Shinra and Karura were together, would their feelings be genuine?
In Karura's mind, what was he?
A stud for impregnating a mare?
He felt conflicted, but his logic told him that the benefits that came from being Karura were higher. She was also beautiful with perky, soft buttocks and a flexible waist that made him sometimes imagine she might become a beautiful female cowboy who tried to tame a wild, fierce stallion with her waist and bottom tightly, and danced as her body tightened.
Yet, no matter what their future would be, Shinra didn't feel regret for devouring Raian, especially with how shitty this guy was. Shitty, sick, yet powerful.
The world was quite unfair since for those good and honest people they would have to live uncomfortably, but for those who were shitty, sick, and even crazy, they lived peacefully and happily as they could do anything without thinking, especially those with power.
While many might not be able to see the resemblance, Shinra felt that Raian was similar to Itachi. Because the two of them had power, they thought that they could do whatever they wanted and force their beliefs on others.
Shinra couldn't say that he was different from the two, but at this moment, after revenge, he just wanted to live peacefully without having his children live in a struggle like him.
Nevertheless, after he devoured Raian, he gained Raian's everything, whether it was skills, knowledge, and more importantly, talents and special traits of the Kure Clan.
Skills and knowledge aside, since Raian never tried to study, disdaining everything as his talents and special trait of the Kure Clan allowed him to become the strongest (in his mind), it made Shinra feel a little helpless, but without a doubt, Raian's potential was one of the highest, and a high chance that he became the strongest, especially when Raian was still young.
Kuroki Gensai might be the strongest in this tournament, but he was already in his 50s.
If Raian somehow had the same dedication as Kuroki and continued to persist for a decade in training, even the main character of the world of Kengan Ashura would be defeated.
Now, this talent has become Shinra's.
Unfortunately, talent didn't work like mathematics, where one plus one becomes two, so even if Shinra gained Raian's talent, it didn't mean that his talent in the martial arts would be doubled when it was combined with Kiryu's talent.
Still, what Shinra sought from the Kure Clan was the special trait of this clan, which had carefully conducted selective breeding to create the strongest fighter by combining the genes of powerful martial arts from the Asuka Period to the present day, and their special ability, the "Removal."
Removing the limitations of the human body and using 100% of the strength of the human body.
This ability was amazing despite not being able to use it for a long time, but as a battle usually ended in a fraction of a time, even just in a few seconds, at that moment, when Shinra's physical ability improved to the maximum, it would definitely bring the battle to his advantage or even a victory.
While Shinra might be able to use 100% of his strength, he couldn't do it like the Kure Clan, who could turn it on or off, according to their wishes. Probably, like the MC of the Shounen Story, where they had to be almost beaten or their comrades to be in danger, he could use all of his power first, which was why using the "Eyes of Usurpation" on Raian was a good choice.
'Also...'
When he thought of a certain Taijutsu master, who had a technique that broke his limits to become stronger, he knew that Raian's "Removal" talent was a great help to him to master that special Taijutsu.
Still, as he waited for his turn for a battle, he saw a member of the Kure Clan who had become the replacement of Raian, lost to Tokita Ohma, and naturally—
"It's great! We won some money again, Shinra!"
Feeling Karura's tight embrace, who was happy as they won the bet once again, Shinra wondered whether he had a child with Karura, would they inherit her strange mentality?
