Chapter 213 The End of Ubuyashiki
"Anger attacks the heart, sadness overwhelms the body, disease enters the body..."

Qingshui frowned slightly.

Ubuyashiki Yoshiya's condition is somewhat complicated, even more difficult to treat than Nora's neurological disease.

Because what happened to him was not just a disease, it was more like a curse that was destined by nature.

Medical ninjutsu can restore his body, but it cannot cure the disease completely. This is true even for top medical ninjas who have mastered forbidden medical techniques - the art of creation and regeneration.

Because they simply can't find the real root of the disease.

All the symptoms that appear in the body seem to be caused by this disease.

Even if it is temporarily relieved, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya's symptoms will still exist and continue to worsen.

The life expectancy of the Ubuyashiki clan has never exceeded thirty years.

Yaoya was twenty-three years old when he died in the original time and space.

If this incident had not happened, Shimizu estimated that if he could occasionally use the Palm Immortal Technique on him, he would have been able to live another six or seven years, approaching the limit of the Ubuyashiki clan.

"Shimizu-kun... How is Yoya...?"

Tianyin held Ubuyashiki Yoya's hand, her beautiful eyes full of worry.

"Not very good. His condition has worsened too quickly. No matter how much he is cured, Senior Yaoya may only have less than a year left to live."

Qingshui frowned.

"Ahem... Shimizu, I'm so sorry for wasting your energy on a useless person like me who can't fight evil spirits like you guys and is about to die."

After receiving the Palm Immortal Technique, Ubuyashiki Yoya looked better and had some strength back. He struggled to sit up from the bed.

Tianyin hurriedly supported her husband's back.

But Ubuyashiki Yoya took Shimizu's hand away.

"No need to treat it anymore, Ubuyashiki...it will soon cease to exist."

Ubuyashiki Yoya's eyes were filled with pain.

Qingshui, Xingming and Wuyilang immediately looked at Tianyin with curious eyes.

Tianyin also closed his eyes in pain.

"At noon... the crows reported that Teriya, who was hiding in Osakaya, was discovered by a demon. He, along with the two A-class swordsmen who were guarding him, as well as Hirokazu and Honai, died at the hands of one of the Upper Ranks."

Yaoya and Tianyin have one son and four daughters. The only son is Huiliya, who is only seven years old. Bifang and Yukina are the other two younger daughters.

According to the rules of the Demon Slayer Corps, the men of the Ubuyashiki clan usually live in two separate places to avoid the Demon Slayer Corps' headquarters being discovered by demons and causing their bloodline to become extinct.

If nothing unexpected happens, after the death of Ubuyashiki Yoshiya, Teriyachi will take over the position of leader of the Demon Slayer Corps.

"Since last year, I have been unable to have sex with Tianyin and give birth to a child due to my weak body. Now that Huiliya has passed away, the lineage of Chanyashiki will no longer exist."

Ubuyashiki Yoya said sadly.

"My Lord, you still have two daughters alive, why don't you invite someone to marry into your family?"

Beimingyu Xingming asked.

Ubuyashiki Yoya just shook his head lightly.

“Kuriya is a great kid, and I believe that if I’m gone, he can take over the responsibility well, but Hikaru and the others can’t, especially now, the situation has not changed in three hundred years.

The final battle between humans and demons is about to begin. How can I feel comfortable leaving the Demon Slayer Corps to them?

What's more, they are too young, what can I do... Alas!"

Ubuyashiki Yoya sighed sadly. "So, my lord, what are you going to do?"

Tokito Muichiro said.

But Ubuyashiki Yoya just looked at Shimizu.

“As I said just now, this is the most important time and space in the past three hundred years. Whether humans can exterminate the evil spirits depends on one or two years. Therefore, during this period of time, the Demon Slayer Corps must be led by someone with sufficient ability and prestige.

But this is not enough. The swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps are all over the place. Now we are contacting the government to help produce batteries and fluorescent lamps, and we have to order vacuum tubes and other materials from far away Europe. Without sufficient knowledge and connections, we can't handle these things well. "

Qingshui had a vague premonition in his heart.

Could it be that……

"Clear water."

Ubuyashiki Yoya said:

"Of all the people I know, you, Shimizu, are the only one who can shoulder these responsibilities."

Except for Amane, who already knew what Yoya meant, Tokito Muichiro and Beimei Yu Gyomei both looked at Shimizu with shocked expressions.

Qingshui remained silent.

He was also surprised that Ubuyashiki Yoya would make such a choice.

Did you ask him if he wants to be the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps?
Of course he wanted it, but he couldn't say it out loud.

"Your uncle is already the Superintendent of Police. I have used the connections of the Ubuyashiki family to help him get the position of Superintendent of Police."

This position is basically the pinnacle of the police system.

If he had a strong enough background to support him, then given Sugi Sakai's age, he might not be able to enter the cabinet and become a top figure before retirement.

Although the Uesugi clan is not as powerful as it used to be, its foundation is still there, and it is capable of taking over some of the assets and connections of the Ubuyashiki clan. If Uesugi Sakai is capable, then what the Uesugi clan can do may not be less than what the Ubuyashiki clan can do.

This may be one of the reasons why Ubuyashiki Yoya chose Shimizu.

"Thank you, Ubuyashiki-senpai, but...what do you need me to do?"

Shimizu looked calm as he spoke to Ubuyashiki Kazuya.

He knows there is no free lunch.

Of course, Shimizu also admires Ubuyashiki Yoshiya.

This person really has almost no selfishness. Even if he does, his public spirit is definitely far greater than his selfishness.

If he was a little more selfish, he could ask one of his daughters or his wife Amane to take over the position of leader of the Demon Slayer Corps after his death, and then pick a man with excellent abilities, ordinary family background and weaknesses to marry into the family. When the next generation of male members of the Umayashiki clan is born, there will still be no difference from the past.

But he didn't do that.

Because Ubuyashiki Yoya really believes that now is the best chance to kill Muzan, and he may never get such an opportunity again in the future.

He truly regards the extermination of evil spirits as a sacred mission that is above all else.

From a rational point of view, letting Shimizu take over the Demon Slayer Corps is the best option, but for Ubuyashiki Yoya, it must be an extremely difficult choice.

"I have three things I want you to do, but even if you don't finish them, after today, you will still be the acting leader of the Demon Slayer Corps."

Ubuyashiki Kayouya forced a smile on his face and looked at Shimizu and said:
"First, eliminate Muzan. Then after I die, you will be the true leader of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Second, I want you and Shinobu Kocho to get married within this month and give birth to a child as soon as possible, because if we want to defeat Muzan, we must rely on your strength, and fighting Muzan is an extremely dangerous thing. "
