Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

Chapter 6: Tamazuki: "I'm too young..."

Chapter 6: Tamazuki: "I'm too young..."

"...."

After he had awoken from passing out, he quickly checked his system, but he knew that it wasn't that he couldn't use it, but it was just that he was too young. Yet he was speechless, wondering whether this system tried to tell him that he might do a housewife too in the future.

He shook his head and thought that everything was too early. He was still five years old, and what he needed to do now was to train hard until he reached his peak potential.

It might be impossible to train his body too hard now, but he knew it was possible to learn the innate ability of the tanuki and other knowledge.

Still, he thought that since there was a youkai and even an Omnyouji in this country, shouldn't a cultivator or martial artist exist in China?

Maybe, there would also be a Monkey King or even other myths in this world.

Yet...

He knew he was too weak at this moment since even among all the youkai in Japan; he definitely couldn't be called the strongest. Yet he didn't think he was worse than them since he had a great advantage.

Still, if possible, he was wondering whether it was possible to get the scroll of martial arts in China or something.

He then opened his eyes and saw his mother was there.

"Tamazusa, have you woken up?" Rika was so happy when she saw her son had woken up.

"Mother, call me Tamazuki now." He was quite dissatisfied. "Also, how long that I have passed out?"

"Okay, okay, Tamazuki." Rika didn't care much and asked, "You have passed out for an entire night. So how is your body? Are you hungry?"

"I'm okay. But Father isn't holding back..." He sighed. If he didn't have his father's and mother's blood, his recovery would be even longer. However, he was no longer thinking about the previous charade since he felt hungry. "Now that you mention it, I'm hungry. Is there food, Mother?"

"Okay, I'll prepare you some food, but don't blame your father so much." Rika caressed her son's hair and said, "In the Shikoku, you can be protected by your father, but once you have gone out, it'll be the world of the survival of the fittest. As for the Hagoromo Kitsune or Nura Clan, you should forget it now since you're still weak." Sometimes she knew that her son was reckless, but this was what made him attractive.

The youkai worshipped the strong.

His father was the commander of the Shikoku Hachijuuhakki Yakou.

In other words, he was filthy rich.

Tanuki was also the famous youkai who had developed the bank system in this country even before the influence of Europe.

Tanuki was also a master in finance.

Some people might doubt him, but the youkai wasn't stupid. They were smart. Even Hagorome Gitsune controlled half of Japan in the past.

In other words, if he could control all the youkai in this country, he could also dominate this country.

The only thing that he regretted was that they didn't use this power. Instead, they stayed in the Shikoku, feeling satisfied with the status quo.

Still, he noticed his mother was smiling at him, so he asked, "What's wrong, Mother?"

With a smile, his mother took the rice that stuck on his cheek, then said, "If you're alright, how about you meet your followers? They have been waiting for you to wake up after that fight."

"Okay." He nodded since many youkai also started to follow him after he showed his power in the past. However, he was low-key, and his group didn't really stand out either. Even if they gathered together, he only asked them to train together since he wanted to become stronger. It could be said that they were the group who had seen him grow up from the weak to now.

While he wasn't the strongest, it wouldn't be wrong to say he had already become the top ten strongest in the Shikoku.

Yet he could only sigh and couldn't feel happy since he must admit that the youkai in the Shikoku were weak.

Being helped by his mother to wear his kimono, he walked out of his room with a steady step. "What's wrong?" He felt his mother's expression was weird since she had always been smiling.

"Nothing~."

"..."

He didn't say anything and just shut his mouth. However, he must admit that a youkai was really nice since even an old woman like his mother could still stay young.

'As expected, being a youkai is nice.'

He walked into the hall, but the number of his followers dumbfounded him.

'Eh? Aren't their numbers a little too much?'
