Naraku had very mixed feelings about Kikyo.
Kozuki Oden's ugly, twisted possessiveness of her was the foundation of the current Naraku, so he thought Kikyo had betrayed him because she had been spending time with Himura Kenshin lately.
So he wanted to ruin those two. He couldn't let them get together before he was pulled into the shadow world. He wanted to make them hate each other, whether it was hating him or hating each other.
At that moment, Naraku, disguised as Kenshin, walked into the village and saw Kikyo giving herbs to the villagers.
"Did you find him?"
Kikyo noticed Kenshin's arrival and asked without thinking.
"I found him," 'Kenshin' said calmly. "But I didn't catch him. He got away."
"Got away?" Kikyo was a little surprised. "He was able to escape from you?"
"Yes, he's very cunning." Kenshin kept walking forward until he was in front of Kikyo.
"We can't let a demon run free. Let's go together," Kikyo said. "It would be bad if he attacked the village while we're gone."
"No need. I already know who he is, and he's in this village." Kenshin stopped Kikyo, who was about to leave. Kikyo frowned, confused. "He's in the village...?"
"Who... is it?"
She seemed to feel a faint unease, but the unease became reality the next moment because Kenshin suddenly drew his sword!
No, it should be said that Naraku drew his sword instantly. Naraku's former self, Kozuki Oden, was a swordsman himself, and he had also transformed into Himura Kenshin, copying some of his abilities. So the drawing technique he used at that moment was very close to Kenshin's own.
Flying Heaven Sword Style, Drawing Slash!
It was as fast as light, even seeming to cut light itself. The slash performed at that moment was just like Kenshin's previous slash, a complete replica. Even the location of the injury was chosen to be exactly the same.
Kikyo seemed completely unprepared for the sword. She was seriously injured by the reverse blade sword and flew backwards for more than ten meters, falling heavily to the ground.
"You..."
A look of disbelief appeared in Kikyo's eyes, which always seemed to hold a hint of sadness. She looked at Kenshin, and the people around her were even more surprised to see this. They all ran over and berated Kenshin. "What are you doing? How can you do something like that to Miss Kikyo?"
Naraku didn't react, but gave a rather fierce smile. But at this moment, Kikyo suddenly shouted loudly, "Run away!"
But it was too late. The next moment, all the villagers stopped moving.
The next moment...
Their heads slowly fell from their necks. It was a very terrifying scene. In such a scene, only Naraku and Kikyo were alive.
"You're that demon..." Kikyo said angrily, looking at the scene.
"That's right. Wano Country people are too stupid. What is Kozuki Oden? I am the real demon!" 'Himura Kenshin' laughed loudly. "And unlike Kozuki Oden, who was a low-level demon, I am a natural demon. I enjoy killing, so I killed Kozuki Oden without hesitation, just because he wanted to follow me."
"Then I deliberately let a demon possess his body, so he would destroy the entire Wano Country, and I would disguise myself as a messenger of justice to carry out reasonable killings. How about it? A very brilliant idea, right?" He walked step by step towards Kikyo, who was lying on the ground. The reverse blade sword drew a white line on the ground.
"Then, I pretended to be remorseful and pretended to be an executioner who was clearing out the remaining demons on the surface of Wano Country. This way, I could kill people again. These people I killed would be treated as if they were possessed by demons, because that's what I appear to be."
"You demon..." Kikyo said softly.
"That's right, I'm a demon." Naraku raised the reverse blade sword in his hand and revealed a cold look. He looked at Kikyo, who was lying on the ground, and said, "I like this kind of look the most, this look of disbelief."
"Take this look with you, along with your trust in Himura Kenshin, along with your regret for this trust, and go to the underworld."
Stab!
The next moment, he stabbed the reverse blade sword in his hand downwards with force. The stab went directly into Kikyo's previous wound. Blood spurted out like a fountain. Kikyo's pupils dilated, and she didn't say another word before 'dying.'
Naraku looked at Kikyo, slowly sheathed his long sword, and left the village laughing.
Of course he hadn't killed Kikyo, because he had discovered that he had an extremely strong healing ability when he had turned into Kikyo before. He didn't know what that power was, but he was certain that even attacks that would be fatal to ordinary people couldn't kill Kikyo.
So, even though he looked like he had killed Kikyo just now, he knew that Kikyo would wake up in less than ten minutes.
And after that, she would go to Himura Kenshin with a belly full of resentment!
After leaving the village, Naraku returned to his original dark cave. He changed back into Kozuki Oden wrapped in bandages, revealed a miserable smile, and lay on the ground.
Everything that needed to be done had been done, everything was going according to his plan, so all that was left was to wait.
Wait...
Wait until he wakes up again in the future, with great power to reap everything he had lost at this time.
A black shadow gradually appeared on his body, and the shadow slowly covered his whole body, finally pulling him into the darkness like tentacles.
Naraku didn't resist, letting the power pull him, and finally calmly sank into the sea made of darkness.
His activity time in the real world had reached its limit. Next, he would develop himself in the shadow world, until...
He ruled the world!
And after he completely disappeared from Wano Country, Genichi slowly appeared in front of Kikyo and took the glowing Shikon Jewel from her body.
That's right, Genichi had stored the Shikon Jewel inside Kikyo's body, which was the healing power that Naraku had sensed.
And it was precisely because of the Shikon Jewel that Kikyo was able to obtain power far beyond that of ordinary people with superpowers.
And at this moment, her mission was completed.
The preparations for this era are basically over. Let...
Everything develop freely.
Kozuki Oden, no, Naraku, will he be able to break through the limits of the world as he wishes?
Thinking about it, it's quite exciting.
With everything basically under Genichi's control at the moment, Naraku is an uncertain factor.
Of course, this uncertainty is only uncertain about his future growth.
Naraku thinks he is planning everything, but everything he does is under Genichi's control!
