The Day of Thunder

"You know of the Nezumi, I assume? Is it true that the Nezumi are immune to the taint of Jigoku?" Naraku looked at Sora. "There is this niggling doubt on why would a place that is connected to Name Magic researchers be of interest for the enemy. I can not make the connection." He sighs "Most likely ...

Something about the village really irked Naraku. There was a lot of small, circumstantial, evidence that perhaps painted an incorrect painting of the village; perhaps it really only was a quaint little hamlet. Naraku had seen in first hand what the influence of the Harbinger had done to other villag...

"Did you understand what you saw when you rescued Hisomu no Kami? Perhaps that is what the Harbinger meant," he frowns. "Footsoldiers to expand onto other realms."

"Which rules would apply though? The rules of Jigoku? The rules of Yume Do? Would the rules of Ningen Do apply to it? I really dislike knowing so little."

"A declaration of war, perhaps it believes itself to be honorable, " he scoffed at the thought of it. "Though it does make some sense. Perhaps it wished to announce itself in such a way so it'd be easier to convert people into it's cause."

"You spoke to the Harbinger?" Naraku was surprised, if only briefly. "Of course you did. I guess it was during its first appearance." "You know... I tried to hunt the Harbinger. Never managed to found it. Wanted to kill her for the past five years. Part of me is relieved I did not found it," he chuc...

"I think that is one of the things that it feels. I mean, you were one of the heroes that went into the heart of Jigoku and sealed their portal. Yet I also think it is not the only motivator," he ponders. "It seems to have a twisted sense of... affection for us."

"Nanzi-san, I welcome any reprisal you may search against Kai or even against me. In fact, if any of you have any complains about me and intend to pursue them, I strongly urge you to follow through. But do it after. Let us defeat this monster first. Lets focus on what is at hand. As either the nine ...

Naraku groaned audibly when Ai voiced her opinion. "Did you listen to anything I said? Kai might be unorthodox but there is truth in what they say. This is not some fancy court where we will be discussing the latest poems that have circulated through the Empire or learning about floral arrangements....

"That does make sense. To prod on our fears and regrets to torment and break us. To bring us under their fold," he sips. "I saw three things when I was at the graveyard," he sips his drink. "First, it was accusing voices and gossip, calling me a monster. A pathetic display, I do not care about what ...

"We are here for the survival of our world," Naraku intervened and looked at Nao. "If we lose this fight, it is over for us. A thousand years of darkness. From there on we go from thriving to surviving, scrapping by in the shadows." "I am Hiruma Naraku, the only child of Hiruma and I have spent the ...

Naraku's expression seems to change. "I take this is something that never happened, correct?"

With a deceptive feint, Naraku's body blurred and twisted in a fluid movement. In an instant, his katana sliced through the air with unparalleled precision and raw strength, a graceful arc that belied the devastating force it carried. And then, in one stroke, Naraku's blade met its mark with a resou...

You did well Yukara. I tried to stay awake but after 4 AM it was a bit difficult

Does Hiruma Rank 1 double the uses for jade fingers? So instead of 3 it becomes 6?

Just pinging these two questions that must have been swallowed in the thread

"Hisomu Reo might not understand as much of poisons as me, but he is a gifted scholar. Of course I shared whit with him," he said. "My death should not mean the end of my knowledge. Humanity should have all tools to win."

"Have you visited the graveyard?"

Naraku sneaks towards Shimizu.

"I am unsure if that is good or bad," he laughs "As you know, the Crab are not very known for their specialisation or drive to hunt the denizens of Jigoku. Of course, as any honorable Samurai they do their task and many of my family fought and died to rescue Hisomu but beyond that, there wasn't many...

"Desperation. Fear. Jigoku knows that we can destroy them or on the very least seal their influence from ever meaningfully interacting with us," he said, nodding in agreement.

"Have you ever heard about me?"

"I think Shinsei did not choose this village on a whim. No, it seems way too off road to be left to chance.."

"I do not like this place and I do not like how much I feel the presence of the enemy," he asserted
