The Shikoku area outside of Iyo is very vast.
Dangoro Tanuki has always been aware of this, and even in the ordinary world, he always feels that tanukis should develop outward.
No matter in the eternal world or in this world, the civet cats should rebuild their former glory and control the entire four kingdoms.
Dangoro Tanuki has proposed to the Criminal Tanuki on more than one occasion to break through the nirvana that blocks the road, and then integrate the Tanuki demons who already have the ability to "visit" to expand outward and control more territories.
However, this development proposal was never adopted.
Dangoro Tanuki was very disappointed with this. In its opinion——
Now General Civet Cat is no longer the convincing and outstanding leader he once was.
The eight hundred and eight raccoon dogs just wanted to stay in a corner of Matsuyama huddled in Iyo.
That old civet cat was old, confused and weak, and even its backbone had been beaten away.
That's why Dangoro Tanuki made the decision he made now.
Cooperate with the Fox Clan and Cooperate with Fox Juliushiro.
In Iyo's realm, when the nirvana still existed, the area where the raccoon and fox tribes lived was blocked by the Bhikshuni Arakami, who was as tall as a mountain, and there was basically no communication between the two sides.
As for the Tanuki tribe, Dangoro Tanuki and his men are responsible for patrolling the mountains and forests and monitoring the movements of the Ni's entrance.
He is the only civet cat leader who may occasionally have the opportunity to have contact with the fox tribe.
On the day when Ni entered the Dao and was expelled by outsiders, Dangoroli secretly received the message from Foxjujuro.
They have a plan.
Fox Juliushiro proposed a marriage to Eight Hundred and Eight Basilisks.
The eight hundred and eight raccoons are now strong on the outside but weak on the inside, weak and mediocre in the dark.
It seems that there is a threat from foreign tribes, and in order to avoid an all-out war with the fox tribe, the old civet cat has a high possibility of a marriage between the two tribes.
Later, Dangoro Tanuki sent someone to "inadvertently" inform Fuki in advance of the marriage news.
According to the character of the tanuki princess, she will take the initiative to run away from Iyo with a little encouragement.
Dangoro Tanuki could use this to propose to Yabaiba Tanuki that in order to realize the external alliance between the two clans as soon as possible, his daughter Ahei could temporarily replace Fukui.
When an alliance is formed, the pleasure-seeking Eight Hundred Raccoons will definitely slowly lose their dominance compared to the Fox Juliushi who strives for governance.
At this time, all you need to do is push "Fu Ji" to the front.
The Eight Hundred Raccoons have not cared about the internal affairs of the tribe for a long time. Dangoro Raccoon and other raccoon leaders can further evade power over the Eight Hundred Raccoons.
At that time, the center of power of the fox and fox clans will be transferred to the couple Kitsuriro and "Fukuji".
And Ahei, who replaced "Fukuji", is Dangoro Tanuki's daughter...
Through this, Dangoro Tanuki will slowly become the actual leader of the Tanuki clan.
As a tanuki princess, "Fukuji" is married to the fox tribe. She can act as the face of the tanuki tribe and can stabilize the top management of the tanuki tribe.
The alliance between the raccoon and fox tribes can also deflect internal conflicts.
Whether it is fighting against foreign tribes or organizing a coalition of foxes and foxes for external expansion, it is feasible.
Dangoro Tanuki firmly believes that in order for the tribe to develop better, the tanukis do not need a weak leader like Yabaiba Tanuki.
You should replace it yourself!
Most of this plan was proposed by Fox Juliushirou.
That fox is indeed very smart.
So far, things are going as planned.
The real Fu Ji has fled.
When Fuki was still at the Tanuki Palace, Dangoro Tanuki would naturally not be able to attack her.
But now Princess Tanuki is outside Iyo.
She shouldn't come back.
This is a necessary sacrifice for the sake of the tribe.
"Find Fu Ji and kill her."
Dangoro Tanuki gave the order and led his close men quickly through the mountains and forests.
…
Iyo's matter has come to an end for now.
Kamiyagawa led his men back to the territory of Takamagahara.
The first thing I did when I came back was to give the little old man an extra instruction: "Keep an eye on Fox Juliushi with your body for a little longer. That fox may be planning something. Iyo may have something unexpected.
Something else happens."
As a human being who can discern emotions, Kamiya can be sure that neither Yabahiruki nor Kitsune Rokuro lied during the conversation at the Tanuki Palace.
However, in the second half of the conversation, Fox Juliushi's speeches obviously became less frequent.
His mood swings...can't be put into words, it's a bit strange anyway.
Compared to the Eight Hundred and Eight Hundred Rhinoceros, Fox Juliushiro is obviously more difficult to see through.
Combined with the ruins of the town occupied by the fox tribe, which the little old man cannot approach.
Kamiyagawa always felt that Kitsune Jukuro seemed to be harboring some kind of plan that he was not yet aware of.
We still don’t know what he wants to do, maybe it’s just Kamiya being paranoid.
But it never hurts to keep an eye on it.
Kamiya didn't want anyone to disrupt the interests he was about to gain in the Iyo area.
…
Tokishi, Shikoku region.
"Roar--!"
Terrifying howls sounded from the dense mountain forest area.
A huge, strip-shaped monster that was several meters long was writhing and circling in the forest.
This monster is said to be an insect but too long, and it is said to be a snake but it has densely packed arms and legs.
At the end of its head, there is a face similar to that of a human being, which is hateful. At this time, a pair of eyes are spinning on top of its head, as if it is looking for something in the forest.
This is a terrifying monster called "Hundred Foot".
It's not too popular among traditional Japanese monster stories.
Touta Touta, also known as Fujiwara Hidego, who once defeated Taira Shomon and was called the "ancestor of Eastern martial arts", became famous in the Heian period for killing a giant centipede.
Boom.
The centipede in the mountain forest rolled its body, but it seemed that it did not find the target it was looking for. It swung its densely packed arms and legs, roared and crushed the trees apart, and headed towards the depths of the mountain forest.
After Baizu left, the surrounding area became quiet.
The cold mountain wind blew the tall trees, causing their shadows to sway.
In the woods, an inconspicuous dwarf deciduous tree also swayed its branches.
About twenty minutes passed.
An inaudible voice came from the trunk of a small deciduous tree. It was a girl's voice: "We should go far away."
The trees are talking.
The small tree swayed twice and turned into a girl.
She has maru eyebrows, a pair of pink eyes, furry animal ears on top of her head, and a big tail trailing behind her.
She was wearing a yellow yukata, which was originally gorgeous and bright, but now it had holes everywhere and was dusty, which no longer matched her beauty.
The princess of the Matsuyama Tanukis, Fuki.
"Why are there so many monsters like Nirudo everywhere outside that attack anyone they see... It's so dangerous."
