Chapter 23 The City of Fire

 Forest of Fire.

The lush trees blocked the rising sunlight, and in the shadows, a burst of blue lightning suddenly dispelled the darkness.

Otsutsuki Hagoromo's right hand jumped with an electric arc, his eyes caught Ji Xing's position, his body spanned tens of meters in one second, and the lightning pierced!

Bang! Ji Xing's palm accurately grasped his wrist, and he pressed down, causing the lightning in his palm to pierce into the soil, causing his body to lose balance. Ji Xing then turned around and kicked him away.

After flying more than ten meters horizontally, Hagoromo landed on a tree. The tree shook and a large handful of leaves fell, but the 11-year-old boy just coughed.

Just as Ji Xing was about to give chase, Hamura caught up with him. His skin was as fair as Kaguya's and he also had the same white eyes as Kaguya. His fists and feet were extremely powerful, and it was not too bad to collide with Ji Xing.

But the skills are far from enough.

Ji Xing's fake moves were hard even to see through, and with a few loose hands and a few swings, he took Hamura to one side, and mixed with a head-shattering attack, he bounced Hamura's body backwards.

At an unknown moment, Yuyi, who had circled back, stabbed Ji Xing in the back with lightning at the same time. Ji Xing, who was stabbed, turned into a wooden stake and disappeared. In Yuyi's shocked eyes, he kicked him from behind.

On his ass!

However, at this time, Hagoromo also turned into a wooden stake, and his true body rushed down from Ji Xing's head. Hamura, who was leaning back, also used his strength and rushed towards Ji Xing from the front again, coordinating the attack!

The two brothers moved forward one behind the other, up and down, blocking all Ji Xing's dodge space!

Ji Xing was not in a hurry, he had already rolled out a ball in his right hand, bent down and smashed it on the ground!

"ah--"

Hamura, who didn't expect Ji Xing to have such a move, screamed in surprise, his body was completely unbalanced, and Hagoromo falling from the sky also lost the accuracy of his attack due to the sinking of the ground, and passed by Ji Xing's body.

Ji Xing pulled, flicked and kicked, and the two children collided with each other and flew out!

Snap—pop—

Ji Xing dusted off the dust and said, "That's it. You two guys actually designed a secret code in advance? Yuyi, you only confirmed that I used the Substitution Technique after seeing the secret code given by Hamura, and you prepared it yourself in advance.

Are you ready for a substitute?"

Hagoromo, who got up from the ground, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm, nodded, and asked puzzledly: "Uncle Ji Xing seems to have prepared the Rasengan and dodge methods in advance. Why? Did he see through my Substitution Technique?"

Ji Xing smiled and said: "Fighting requires not only skills, but also insight into people's hearts. If you are not sure that I am using a substitute, your Raikiri will not be so decisive, because if I really did not dodge, the blow will be

deadly."

"...I see." The 11-year-old boy had an adult-like expression of thinking on his face.

"Bah! Bah!" Hamura, who got up from the ground, spat out two mouthfuls of sand and complained: "Dad is so cunning. I know, next time we have to fight with the attitude of killing dad, and the worst is to carry dad's body.

Go back and find mom to save you!"

Ji Xing's face darkened: "You brat!"

"Hahaha..." Hamura made a face and ran out with a smile.

Ji Xing shook his head, stepped forward and patted Yu Yi's shoulder, saying, "Let's go back."

"Yeah." Hagoromo stopped thinking and reviewing.

These two children, conceived by the same mother and born at the same time, have completely different personalities.

Yuyi is deep, thoughtful, and steady.

Hamura is free, innocent and active.

He quickly caught up with Hamura, and one and two children were walking through the Forest of Fire. Ji Xing said: "But having said that, you two have made obvious progress. In another two years, I'm afraid I won't be your match."

"Tch, Dad, you've been saying this for more than six years!"

"Haha, because I am also making progress, but obviously the progress is not as fast as yours. It probably won't take more than a few years."

"Oh oh oh, I really believe it."

Yuyi thought: "Uncle Ji Xing, I developed the Raikiri according to your idea... I think there is a possibility of going further."

Ji Xing nodded: "You can do this...and do this...and that...but Lei Qie is just a transition for you. In two years, you can..."

The three of them talked and laughed and walked out of the Forest of Fire.

A huge city appeared in front of us.

The city wall made of masonry and cement is nearly ten meters high, which makes people look dwarfed. The huge city gate is also majestic and spectacular. There is a plaque above it that reads: 'City of Fire'!

Seeing the three people arriving, the guard warrior stationed at the door quickly bent down to greet them.

"Lord Daimyo!"

"Your Highness Hagoromo! Your Highness Hamura!"

"Thank you for your hard work." Ji Xing nodded and walked into the city gate with his two children.

Flat roads, lively neighborhoods, neatly arranged houses, and row upon row of shops.

This is a magnificent city that is incompatible with the Warring States Period. Without Kaguya, it would have taken at least ten years to build it!

Ever since Kaguya wiped out the gods, the expansion of the Mountain Kingdom has been unstoppable.

The only things that hinder the expansion of the Mountain Kingdom are the speed of construction and the speed of civilian migration.

Ji Xing chose to play it slow and steady. In five years, the Kingdom of Mountains had only expanded four times, occupying an area roughly equivalent to the Kingdom of Fire in later generations.

At the same time, hundreds of countries, large and small, were planned by him into 1 capital, 5 cities, and 16 villages and towns!

It has a population of more than two million.

This City of Fire, built next to the Forest of Fire, is also the current capital and largest city of the Kingdom of Mountains, with more than half a million people living in it!

A few years ago, people could not have imagined today's life. Civilians did not have to worry about the intrusion of wandering samurai. The vast fields inside and outside the City of Fire belonged to them, and only a small part of the food harvest had to be handed over to the daimyo.

Even when faced with natural disasters that would reduce food production, Kaguya can take action to get rid of them!

Although there is still a gap between the rich and the poor, there are fewer cases of freezing and starving to death. Everyone walking on the streets has a completely different look than before.

No more numbness.

Replaced with a look full of hope!

When they saw Ji Xing, a famous person, passing by, they would greet him sincerely and respectfully.

To be honest, Ji Xing initially wanted to unify the Warring States Period, not because he wanted to find Otsutsuki Ishiki for Kaguya, nor because he had any ambitions.

His main goal is starlight.

Nowadays, the name Shi Po Si Zao is known to everyone and no one knows it.

Coupled with what he has gained from Kaguya and what he has gained from Hagoromo Hamura, who is gradually getting stronger, his starlight has advanced to the fourth star, which is lit up 68%!

However, these ‘extra gains’ during the starlight collection period also put Ji Xing in a good mood.

Arriving all the way to the center of the Fire City, outside the magnificent Daming Mansion, Ji Xing said to Hagoromo and Hamura: "You go back to find the goddess first, I still have some things to deal with."

"Um!"

The only people who live in this Daimyo Mansion in the City of Fire are Kaguya, Hagoromo Hamura, Ji Xing, and a few maids chosen by Kaguya in the past few years.

The father, Ishiba Tsusushige, his wives and concubines, the second brother and the second sister-in-law's family also have another mansion.

As for Hikka, she is already married to Nara Shikawa, who is now an important minister of the Mountain Kingdom.

Amid the greetings of the guards, Ji Xing crossed the open space in front of the Daming Mansion and ascended to the main hall.

There were already more than a dozen people standing in two rows inside, waiting for Ji Xing, all of whom were now important ministers of the Mountain Kingdom.

There is no need to say more about father and brother.

and brother-in-law Shika Kazu Nara.

The situation is similar to that of the Nara family, but Sarutobi Kasai, the leader of the Sarutobi clan who has great fighting power as the god of the ape god, is still the black-haired leader of the Uzumaki clan, Uzumaki Hikaru, who worships the god of death.

The leader of a mountain tribe who worships the flower god.

Shimura is not worshiped by gods, but his talents are so outstanding that Ji Xing is not sure whether he is the King of Pots or not.

There are also some young men with unfamiliar surnames, but they have been selected and are not inferior to them.

All the virtuous people have arrived, and the young and old have gathered together.

Seeing Ji Xing, they all bowed and greeted loudly: "Lord Daimyo!"

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Ji Xing waved his hand, walked into the main hall at a fast pace, and sat down in the upright position.

"Sit down, everyone, let's discuss this!"
