It's important to make people recognize your ninjutsu and know how amazing and special it is. Only then will you feel a sense of superiority and pride when you unleash your ninjutsu.
To put it bluntly, it's only when you're showing off that it feels real!
The problem is that this is the world of American TV series, not the world of Naruto. Ninjutsu is a blank in this world; nobody knows about it. Even if you use it, even if the effect is amazing, passersby don't know the inside story, what kind of ability it is, or that your ability is special. It's like scratching an itch through a boot; it's always just a little bit off.
That's why Su was so enthusiastic about explaining ninjutsu, chakra, and the Naruto system to those he admired at the beginning!
If you want something that nobody knows to stand out from the crowd, besides the fact that it must be special, you also need to make people know how it is special and why it is special!
Take Fire Release as an example. Without explanation, what is the first impression people get?
magic!
That's what Olivia thought back then.
Because the effects of Fire Release and magic overlap and are similar, if you don't explain, people will assume your ability is magic. And what's so special about magic? After all, the world's understanding of magic is already quite advanced. Do you think you can be special, stand out from the crowd?
You still need to explain and demonstrate its special features so that people know that you are using ninjutsu, not magic.
Just like now, whether it's angels, demons, the Wen brothers, or even some supernatural beings, they all have a certain understanding and concept of the Su family and ninjutsu.
While they might not know why chakra can unleash ninjutsu, they already had the concept of ninjutsu. However, it was difficult for the Su clan alone to systematize and promote ninjutsu, at least not to the point of popularizing it to the level of understanding it had for magic.
The road ahead is long and arduous!
"Ring ring ring... Ring ring ring..."
Not long after the Wen brothers left, Su's phone suddenly rang.
Just as Ms. Su took out her phone to answer the call, a knock on the door sounded.
Did the Wen brothers forget to take their things?
As Su answered the phone, she opened the door, only to find that it wasn't the Wen brothers or any hotel staff knocking, but a short, stout middle-aged man in a suit.
Mr. Su raised an eyebrow in slight surprise, then heard Miss Marge's voice on the phone. While listening to Miss Marge's call, he waved for the short, chubby man who was about to introduce himself to come in.
"..."
The short, chubby man swallowed his words back. Seeing that Su had already turned around and was focused on answering the phone, he went into the house somewhat annoyed, turned around and gently closed the door, then stood there helplessly waiting for Su to call.
"The Wen brothers contacted Lilith not long ago and told her that her death was the final seal to resurrect Lucifer. However, Lilith did not intend to give up and instead gathered a large number of her subordinates to go to the place to break the seal. I was among those recruited."
So, this is another tactic the Wen brothers used? To inform Lilith in advance and persuade her to change her mind?
On one hand, they sent Cassidio to find the prophet, and on the other hand, they notified the demon Lilith. With two plans targeting both angels and demons, it has to be said that the Wen brothers were really going all out, and... this was the only method they could think of at the moment.
Although the methods used disappointed Su somewhat, he was still quite looking forward to the scene.
If we divide the two sides into two camps.
The resurrected Lucifer faction includes: Sue, the demon Mag, the angel Zechariah, and other angels, and maybe also the short, fat guy who suddenly appeared.
The faction that prevents Lucifer's resurrection includes: the Wen brothers, Lilith, Lilith's demon army, and angels such as Cassidio.
I have to say, it's quite interesting.
Cassidio's attempt to seek help from the prophet of God will not yield good results. He will likely be unable to participate in this battle, and similarly, his faction of angels will probably not intervene, given the obstruction from another faction of angels, such as Zechariah. The most likely outcome is that the angelic camp will be completely absent, thus neutralizing each other's efforts.
So it's basically Su Shi and Miss Mag against the Wen brothers, Lilith, and their demon army. As for the short, fat guy, we'll talk about him later.
In terms of numbers, the Wen brothers and Lilith clearly have the advantage. Wen only has one ally, Miss Mag, who is also an undercover agent and is unlikely to make a move until the right time.
In other words, he has to kill Lilith all by himself, despite the obstruction of the Wen family's duo and the demon army?
That sounds exciting!
Chapter 378 Crowley, the Future King of Hell
After Su remained silent for a while, Miss Marge lowered her voice and asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
“No need,” Su replied decisively.
Miss Mag is infiltrating Lilith's inner circle as an undercover agent, seemingly with opportunities to do something, even to betray her. However, their strengths are vastly different. She is just an ordinary black-eyed demon, while Lilith is a white-eyed demon. Even if she suddenly attacks, she may not be able to kill Lilith, while Lilith can kill her easily as long as she is not instantly killed.
Therefore, it is completely unnecessary to involve Miss Mag. First of all, it is meaningless and ineffective, and secondly, it will affect her performance in battles against the Wen family's duo and Lilith's demon army.
It's more interesting when one person takes on a group; that's how you show off your strength and class.
"That's all for now, I have another guest here." Su hung up the phone, put away her phone, and turned to look at the short, chubby man with a fawning smile.
While the nickname "short and chubby" is quite accurate in describing him, anyone who underestimates him because of this nickname will definitely regret it!
"Hello, Mr. Su. I apologize for bothering you. I am Crowley. I believe you already know who I am." The short, chubby man bowed slightly to Mr. Su with a hint of respect and obsequiousness.
Su laughed: "Crowley, the Demon King of the Crossroads, of course I know who you are. Not only do I know who you are, but I also know that you were a tailor in your previous life and that you had a terrible relationship with your mother. Let me think... Oh, right, I also know why you sold your soul!"
"..."
Crowley's expression froze.
I was just saying hello, you don't have to dig up my past, do you?
Rumors say that the Su family possesses a kind of omniscient ability, and it seems that it is true!
Crowley chuckled awkwardly and said, "Well, let's not talk about this kind of thing, right? It's not exactly something to be proud of."
"I do not think so!"
Mrs. Su smiled and shook her head: "This is the choice most men would make!"
Crowley smiled sullenly, showing no sign of feeling more comfortable because of Sue's words.
Actually, Sue didn't say that to ease the awkwardness. Crowley's reason for selling his soul was indeed something most men would choose, regardless of whether they had the need to or not.
Well, what Klaue obtained by exchanging his soul is similar to Frieza's wish in Dragon Ball to collect the seven Dragon Balls.
Frieza wants to grow taller.
Crowley is the same, except he grows taller when he lies down, those who know, know!
Closer to home.
When Su had dealt with the Crossroads Demoness before, he had mentioned Crowley. Crowley had also conveyed a message to Su through the Demoness, or rather, greeted him.
But this is the first time we've met!
Crowley wouldn't come to see me for no reason, especially at such a crucial time. If nothing unexpected happens, Crowley is here to seek cooperation.
"You want to be the King of Hell?" Su looked at Crowley with a smile.
Crowley's expression changed slightly, and then he said, "You already knew before I even said anything. I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
“I have some manpower that can help you deal with Lilith.”
"What do you want?" Su asked with a smile.
Crowley shook his head and said, "I don't want anything, or rather, I just want to get rid of Lilith. If she doesn't die, I have no chance."
"Generally speaking, free things are the most expensive. If you don't want anything, it can only mean that you have bigger plans!" Su said with a sneer.
Crowley smiled obsequiously, "That's true. I think it's more important to have your friendship than to receive your help once or twice. So this time I didn't expect to gain anything, because our goals are the same, and you may not even need my help."
"I just want the chance to become your friend!"
"And then... use me to help you deal with Lucifer?" Sue continued.
Crowley's expression stiffened again, and he explained with a somewhat unfocused look in his eyes, "If our interests align."
Crowley's willingness to cooperate with him at this time must mean he already knows about his relationship with Lilith. Similarly, he must also know that killing Lilith would resurrect Lucifer.
If Lucifer were to be resurrected, he would undoubtedly become the ruler of Hell.
Crowley's target is also the Lord of Hell, and compared to Lucifer, Lilith is nothing.
For a tailor to become a demon, the leader of the demons at the crossroads, and eventually the leader of Hell, one thing is certain: he's incredibly intelligent!
While Crowley's current attempt to collaborate with him, or rather, curry favor with him, has a somewhat opportunistic element, from another perspective, he is also taking a risk.
Many people know that they want to resurrect Lucifer, but few know why they want to resurrect Lucifer.
Wasn't Crowley afraid that he was in cahoots with Lucifer? Wasn't he afraid of betraying Lucifer after resurrecting him?
Lucifer would certainly not tolerate anyone who wanted to usurp the throne, so Crowley's current attempt to curry favor with the Sue family was actually quite risky.
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages.
If he really wanted to deal with Lucifer, then Crowley's actions today, whether they were helpful or not, had already done him a favor.
Therefore, someone who can climb from the crossroads of demons all the way to the king of hell cannot be a simple person.
"I accept your kindness, but a direct confrontation is unnecessary. I need you to take your men and help me capture those people guarding Lilith. After that, hand them over to me."
There's no way we can lose. Even Jesus can't save Lilith today, I'm telling you!
But one Lilith certainly wouldn't satisfy the Su family's appetite, and they certainly wouldn't let go of the demons who fought alongside Lilith.
He originally planned to use the reanimated yellow-eyed demon Azazel to take over these defeated demons, but now, he might as well hand them over to Crowley.
First of all, Crowley is very valuable. Making him the King of Hell would make it easier to obtain souls and such in the future.
Secondly, there's Cassidy on the Heavenly side and Crowley on the Hell side. (Good King, Good King) Not only is it symmetrical, but they can also check and balance each other.
Most importantly, they will not only cooperate, but they will also have even more powerful enemies in the future. If you can win them over and put yourself in an extraordinary position, the benefits... needless to say, right?
As for the claim that Crowley is inherently cunning, or that he wasn't genuinely loyal to the regime?
Heh... Where do you get so much sincerity? As long as they're obedient, isn't that enough? As long as they achieve their goals, that's all that matters?
Just like emperors, how many emperors would be so foolish as to believe that all their ministers are genuinely loyal to them and willing to do their bidding?
Stop joking. Do you really mean to kill or replace someone if you're not serious about it?
With the right methods, anyone can be controlled.
What would be the result of Cassidy of Heaven and Crowley of Hell keeping each other in check? Whoever Sue sides with will have the advantage.
This will make them fawn over you and compromise with you.
This is the principle of balance in the art of rulership.
Chapter 379 You are now surrounded by me all by myself!
