Naruto: I will!
Just last week, some Japanese netizens said that the "Killing Stone", a national scenic spot at the Nasu Onsen Shrine in Nasu Town, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan, which is famous for the "Legend of the Nine-tailed Fox", was split in half, and at the same time, the original killing stone was wrapped in straw, and the rope used for sealing was also broken, for unknown reasons.
The promoter also wrote very calmly, "If this is a manga, it is the seal of the nine-tailed demon fox that has been broken, and it is about to be possessed, as if seeing something that should not be seen." ”
This news quickly became a hit on Twitter, and it was also reported by the Japanese media, and it also attracted the attention of the majority of anime fans. After all, this stone called the "Killing Stone" is a household name in Japanese anime and manga works, only because it seals the legendary nine-tailed fox.
1.
Located at the Nasu Onsen Shrine in Nasu Town, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan, the Killing Stone is a huge lava rock on the slopes of Mount Nasu near Nasu Onsen, and this attraction (including onsen) was designated as a prefectural monument in Tochigi Prefecture in 1957 and was designated as a national scenic spot in 2014. Interestingly, however, the reason why the killing stone is used as a scenic spot has nothing to do with the legend of sealing the nine-tailed fox, but rather because in 1689, the Japanese "haisheng" Matsuo Basho traveled here and recorded it in the "Okuno Hodo". Therefore, the killing stone has been designated as a monument by the Tochigi Prefectural Government, which is also very obviously marked in the notice board of the scenic spot.
Matsuo Basho describes the killing stone in the "Oku no Hodo": the killing stone is near the Nasu Hot Spring at the back of the mountain, and the poisonous gases emitted around the stone are still endless. The bodies of the poisoned bees and butterflies are stacked on top of each other, and the faces of the sand and gravel are completely invisible.
In fact, killing stones are a poisonous volcanic rock, and both insects and birds die quickly upon contact with the stone. Even when tourists come to visit, if the excessive amount of poisonous gas is sprayed, it will be forbidden to enter. Some scientists have explained that this toxicity of the killing stone is mainly due to the long-term immersion of sulfurous acid and hydrogen sulfide gas spewed out by the volcano, so it can be said that there is no grass in the area near the killing stone.
However, from this picture, everyone may think that such a stone, what is there to see? In fact, this stone is not small, look at the comparison chart to see how big the killing stone is.
With such a huge stone, coupled with the poisonous properties that make the surrounding grass inhospitable, the killing stone adds a lot of mystery to the area, the most famous of which is the "Legend of the Nine-tailed Fox". According to the Muromachi period, the Nine-Tailed Fox was a yokai who was specially transformed into a world-class beauty to confuse the king, and was discovered by the Yin and Yang Division in an attempt to assassinate Emperor Toba, and eventually fled to Nasugo, where he was turned into stone and later sealed by the Yin and Yang Division. And this nine-tailed fox is also in front of the famous Tamazae in Japanese mythology.
The legend of the nine-tailed fox is not limited to Japanese mythology, as it is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas: "The south side of the Qingqiu Mountain is rich in jade, and the yin side of the north of the mountain is rich in green fish." There is a beast in the mountains, shaped like a fox but with nine tails, roaring in a similar voice to that of a baby crying, able to devour people, and eating its flesh can make people not be poisoned by evil spirits. This record comes earlier than the Muromachi period documents, but what is more interesting is that the nine-tailed fox is a sacred beast representing Xiangrui in Chinese mythology, one is to call the king emperor, and the meaning of the prosperity of the society; the other is the meaning of love and happiness. However, in the creation of later generations of literati and the adaptation of film and television works, some women who seduced the king, corrupted the government, and harmed the people were described as fox spirits, and the description of the Shang Dynasty's concubines was common, so the nine-tailed fox was regarded as a demon. However, in Japanese legend, Tamae-mae is indeed a symbol of evil, its body is a white-faced golden haired nine-tailed fox, and its appearance will always bring turmoil to the country at that time.
It is precisely because of these mysterious colors that Tamamozen provides diversified materials for the creation of anime and game content.

The meaning of splitting the killing stone into two halves in the second dimension is that the demon fox incarnates. This topic was also quickly taken out by netizens for secondary creation.
For example, some netizens said that the nine-tailed fox may have escaped in February, because in February, there was a strange scene on Mt. Fuji, which was simply an image of the end of the world.
The more clearly this figure can be seen, the more suspicious it is to have PS, but regarding the claim that the nine-tailed fox has long fled, the official determination of the Tochigi Prefectural Tourism Bureau is that the rupture of the killing stone was not caused overnight, and that it began to crack several years ago.
This statement is particularly in line with the script of the lifting of the japanese two-dimensional seal: a family guards a seal for generations, and the evil demon wants to break the seal at any time, the two sides are always fighting, as the sealing power slowly weakens, the day of the birth of the big demon is getting closer and closer, one day for some reason, the big demon secretly ran out of the seal, and when the power has not yet been restored, choose to temporarily avoid the front and go away. When the Great Demon had been gone for a while, the Killing Stone that had lost its sealing power finally cracked, and it was then that people realized that the world would become different.
As a result, netizens who have experienced the brainwashing of the classic bridge section of Japanese animation began to make up various scenes.
For example, the netizens of the apocalyptic sect have found a very sharp diagram to prove the existence of the nine-tailed fox:
For example, after some netizens saw the cracked killing stone, the two nine-tailed foxes came to mind:
Some netizens also said that since it is a nine-tailed fox, there should be 9?
Rational netizens told people that when you see a little girl with lost fox ears near Nasu Onsen, please contact the local Yin-Yang master.
Netizens who cross the genre said that the nine-tailed fox that recreated the human world is still in human form, so use love to touch it!?
Some netizens directly began to imagine that drawing cards in the place where the seal was broken, was the probability of being a little higher...
The brain hole of netizens is not only what is running out, but more saviors are thinking about who will deal with this matter.
On the side of Chinese netizens, the first reaction is to find Naruto.
Looking for the Yin-Yang Master:
Find Kitaro's:
And the culprit who found the breaking of the seal...
Not to mention, the final test place where Tanjiro joined the Ghost Killing Team in Ghost Blade has some connection with Tochigi Prefecture, where more than 350 wisteria flowers bloom in April each year, and this has become a pilgrimage place for many Ghost Blade fans.
As a result, many coincidences have made many netizens say that this life has not only witnessed history, but also witnessed myths. In this way, the nine-tailed fox has become the top stream of Japanese netizens.

In the current game world, no matter which game it is, it is difficult for the former big demon Tamamae to become a façade. However, in the world of anime, there are still many works that maintain respect for Tamamae.
For example, in 1990's "Shio and tiger" created by Japanese manga artist Kazuhiro Fujita, the final boss is the big monster "White-Faced Man" who wants to destroy the world. The "White-Faced One" refers to the golden-haired, white-faced demon with nine tails, and although the work does not mention The Jade Algae in the text, the prototype of the "White-Faced One" is the Jade Algae.
Similarly, the Nine Lamas in Naruto, because of their strongest strength, ranked 1st among the Nine Tailed Beasts. According to the plot explanation, because the Nine Lamas cannot be killed, they can only be sealed in naruto's body. However, in Hirohito: A New Age of Naruto, the Nine Lamas dissipate in Naruto's body due to the heavy particle pattern. Whether it will be born again, this is also the day that many Naruto fans are waiting for.
In the field of ACG creation, the gender in front of Tamazae is not consistent with the legend. For example, Kyosuke Tamamo, who appeared in 1993 in "Hell Teacher" by Sho Makura and Tsuyoshi Okano, is a male character, and this character also appears in the brain-hole fantasies of Japanese netizens.
In netease games' self-developed two-dimensional mobile game "Yin and Yang Division", Yuzaoqian is also positioned as a male. The description of Tamae Mae writes: The unfathomable great demon Tamamo Mae has a beautiful face and powerful demon power. Although it often appears as a dressed woman, its true face is not so.
In the material of hundreds of anime and television games, Tamamo mae has been given different identities and symbols by the creators, such as in the well-known two-dimensional game "Fate/Grand Order", Tamae Mae appeared as a 5-star slave, and its tail also split into a derivative character, Tamagotchi Cat. For netizens, the perspective of looking at Yuzao will no longer be dominated by suppression, and will also include the emergence of a variety of emotions such as indoctrination, love and sympathy, so in the brain holes of netizens, the cracked killing stone also represents a different meaning.
But in the face of real problems, what about cracked killing stones? According to the staff of the Nikko National Park Nasu Management Office, "There are currently no plans for restoration. However, the voices about wanting to reseal the Killing Stone were constantly heard on Twitter, so the Nasu Management Office finally decided to make a decision after consulting with the relevant parties. However, in this time, as long as the misfortunes seen by the Japanese may be related to this cracked killing stone.
