Yukito was not surprised at all that Asagi and the others had managed to capture Ingrid.
Although Ingrid was powerful, at most she was comparable to Yatsu Murasaki and Igawa Sakura.
Facing the encirclement of so many people, with Asagi—the strongest Anti-Demon Ninja—leading them, it was already impressive that she had managed to hold out for so long before finally being defeated and captured.
Of course, another reason was that Asagi and the others intended to capture Ingrid alive. Otherwise, she would never have lasted so long against the combined assault of so many elite Anti-Demon Ninja.
After restraining the unconscious Ingrid, Asagi and the others sensed the hostile, fearful, and greedy gazes coming from every direction. Tightening their grips on their weapons, they unleashed their overwhelming killing intent without restraint and immediately struck down several ill-intentioned individuals hiding in the shadows.
This Underground Black Market in Chiba existed in the Human World, but during certain periods, it temporarily overlapped and fused with the Demon World, creating an entrance between the two realms. At least ninety percent of the humans and demons who came here—or lived here—were evil.
That was evident from the countless red dots displayed on Yukito's system map.
"Yukito-chan, it's time to head back!"
"You silly child, Asagi only sent you here to gather information."
"It's already enough that we discovered who is behind the monster research and modification experiments, as well as who has been targeting Yatsu Murasaki. There was no need to get involved in everything else."
"That woman, Ingrid, is already dangerous enough. Fortunately, aside from her, we didn't run into anyone even more troublesome."
Feeling the eyes fixed upon her, Shiranui Mizuki lightly pushed off the ground with her toes and leaped gracefully into the air. Her feet seemed to step on invisible footholds, and within a few steps she landed in front of Yukito, speaking with a trace of reproach.
"Shiranui Auntie, I don't want to leave just yet."
"Since we're already here, why not wipe this so-called Underground Black Market off the map?"
Yukito, who was standing inside Susanoo's forehead, had no intention of leaving so soon. He had finally used one of his Character Limited-Time Experience Cards, and he had even activated the Two-Hour Double Experience Card he had just obtained.
With buffs like that active, leaving before farming experience for two full hours would be a tremendous waste.
While replying to Shiranui Auntie that he wasn't planning to leave yet, Yukito controlled Susanoo and gently lowered her from its shoulder.
Then he took a single step, directing Susanoo toward the deepest crimson marker on the map not far away.
At the same time, the Mangekyo Sharingan in Yukito's eyes, whose pattern resembled a Fuma Shuriken, began spinning rapidly.
"Take Mikazuchi!"
As Yukito felt a tremendous amount of his ocular power being consumed, terrifying blue-violet lightning suddenly erupted, wrapping itself around the enormous sword in Susanoo's hand.
This was Yukito's ability—or more accurately, Uchiha Izuna's left Mangekyo Sharingan ability. Instead of awakening a space-time technique or Amaterasu like Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke, he had awakened a Mangekyo ability centered around overwhelming lightning.
"This child really has become much less adorable after growing up. He's actually planning to destroy the entire Underground Black Market before leaving."
After Yukito gently set her back on the ground, Shiranui Mizuki watched him pilot Susanoo into the distance. Along the way, he casually destroyed every building in his path and showed no mercy even to the seemingly innocent people wandering the streets.
This merciless method of killing everyone without discrimination caused Shiranui Mizuki to frown slightly.
Still, with Yukito piloting the gigantic Susanoo, stopping him would have been far from easy.
Fortunately, there were virtually no innocent people in this Underground Black Market to begin with. Although Yukito's methods were undeniably extreme, they weren't entirely unjustified.
After all, everyone present—including Shiranui Mizuki herself—had become qualified Anti-Demon Ninja by repeatedly killing monsters and humans who had allied themselves with the Demon World and fallen into darkness.
None of them were soft-hearted. The real reason they wanted Yukito to leave early was because they feared the powerful beings lurking within the Demon World, such as the Demon Gods and vampire progenitors like Black.
Although those terrifying beings were bound by certain rules and couldn't easily descend into the Human World, this place, despite temporarily overlapping with the Human World, was fundamentally still part of the Demon World.
"Yukito-chan really never lets me relax."
Shiranui Mizuki watched Yukito's departing figure and muttered a few complaints before ultimately choosing to follow him.
"Everyone, move out."
"Clean up this entire area."
"Clear out the red-light district, the brothels, and every filthy establishment. If you find any missing Anti-Demon Ninja who were captured, bring them back safely."
Seeing that both Shiranui Mizuki and Uehara Rin had voluntarily followed Yukito and were helping him eliminate the remaining monsters and beastmen throughout the streets, Igawa Asagi briefly estimated the remaining time before deciding to stay.
She then gave her orders to Yatsu Murasaki, Igawa Sakura, and the others.
More than an hour later, as the duration of Yukito's Character Limited-Time Experience Card expired, he was forced to dismiss Susanoo, and his Mangekyo Sharingan reverted back to its normal three-tomoe form.
Feeling the immense power leaving his body, Yukito looked across the ruined streets.
Collapsed buildings littered the area, while the broken, blood-soaked corpses of monsters, beastmen, and humans lay scattered everywhere.
He couldn't help but feel a deep sense of disappointment.
After experiencing the overwhelming strength of Uchiha Izuna at his peak—a level easily comparable to a Kage—returning to the strength of a mere Elite Chunin felt incredibly uncomfortable.
"Yukito-chan, we've already destroyed the worst parts of this Underground Black Market, including the red-light district and the slave market. Completely wiping this place out isn't something we can accomplish in such a short time."
"And even if we succeeded, it would eventually be rebuilt. At most, we'd only delay it for a while."
Shiranui Mizuki, who had remained close behind Yukito the entire time, immediately walked over after he dismissed Susanoo and returned to normal.
She could clearly sense that Yukito's current strength had returned to roughly the same level he possessed a few days ago, shortly after obtaining the mysterious power known as Chakra.
Had she not witnessed everything with her own eyes—and had their chakra signatures not been exactly the same—Shiranui Mizuki would never have believed that the overwhelmingly powerful Yukito from moments ago and the current Yukito were the same person.
She never asked how he had obtained such extraordinary power.
Instead, she carefully observed him for a while, making sure he hadn't used any forbidden technique that consumed his lifespan or permanently damaged his body for temporary strength.
Only after confirming that he was perfectly fine did she finally relax and speak.
Now that the Character Limited-Time Experience Card had expired, and with the help of Shiranui Auntie and the others, Yukito had already eliminated most of the red markers shown on the system map.
Naturally, there was no reason to remain here.
Was he supposed to wait for the Demon World's true powerhouses to arrive and then use another Character Limited-Time Experience Card?
Besides Uchiha Izuna's Character Card, he also possessed Edo Tensei Uchiha Madara's Character Card—complete with Hashirama's cells and the awakened Rinnegan—as well as the Character Card of the white-haired, horned Ōtsutsuki Hamura, whose pale blue eyes shimmered like the stars.
"Let's head back, Shiranui Auntie."
Without Uchiha Izuna's power enhancing him, Yukito had no desire to remain in such a dangerous place.
After speaking to Shiranui Auntie, he reunited with Asagi and the others before leaving the Underground Black Market together.
After successfully returning to the Tokyo Anti-Demon Ninja Organization Headquarters, Asagi, Yatsu Murasaki, Hasuma Reiko, and the others immediately departed with the captured Ingrid.
Meanwhile, after chatting briefly with Shiranui Auntie and Uehara Rin, Yukito returned alone to his room.
Opening his character status panel, he prepared to increase his level.
The experience he had accumulated was already more than enough to advance to the Jonin rank.

Looking at the translucent status panel floating before him, Yukito nodded in satisfaction at the more than eight million experience points he had accumulated.
Just as he was about to raise his level to Jonin, a knock suddenly sounded at the door.
A moment later, the dormitory door slowly opened from the outside, and Yukito saw a tall figure dash into the room.
