He knew he was no longer alone in facing this battle.
Taking advantage of a moment while fighting off an evil spirit, Rengoku Kyojuro loudly conveyed his intentions to Tanjiro and the others:
"Tanjiro, you guys take care of protecting these people. I'll go and wipe out those demons completely!"
Upon hearing this, Tanjiro drew his Nichirin Blade without hesitation and replied loudly, "Yes! Brother Kyojuro, go in peace!"
He then quickly joined forces with Zenitsu Agatsuma and Inosuke Hashibira to shield the survivors behind them, forming a strong protective barrier.
Seeing Tanjiro and the others' actions, a glint of admiration flashed in Rengoku Kyojuro's eyes.
He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, took a deep breath, and then swung it out fiercely: "Fifth Form - Flame Tiger!"
With a roar, it seemed as if a tiger formed from flames leaped from the tip of his blade and pounced on the evil spirits.
The evil spirits seemed to sense the intense heat emanating from Yan Hu, and screamed in terror as they fled backward.
However, their speed was nowhere near that of Kyojuro.
He wielded his flaming blade, each swing taking the life of a demon.
As screams rang out, the number of evil spirits rapidly decreased.
Minato and the others witnessed this scene, and their expressions also became serious.
They could clearly sense that the strength Rengoku Kyojuro was displaying at this moment had surpassed the level of an ordinary Jonin.
His physical strength was so great that even they couldn't help but marvel at it.
Although they were confident that they would not lose to Rengoku Kyojuro, in terms of pure physical strength, perhaps only Kushina could compare to him.
However, at that moment, a voice with a hint of madness suddenly echoed around.
"Such clear battle aura, you are indeed a rare and powerful expert!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a demon dressed in a purplish-red short shirt slowly emerged from the darkness.
He wore prayer beads on his ankles, his short, peach-pink hair danced in the wind, and his golden eyes gleamed eerily in the night.
His skin was unusually pale, as if he had never seen the sun.
Rengoku Kyojuro noticed that the demon's eyes bore the mark of the Upper Three, and his heart sank.
After swiftly slaying the last demon, he immediately returned to Tanjiro and the others, using his own body to form a solid barrier.
However, Akaza doesn't seem to care about Kyojuro Rengoku's actions.
Instead, he said in an even more appreciative tone, "What a remarkable strike! With your strength, you will surely go far on the path of martial arts."
As he spoke, his gaze turned to Minato and the others.
Although they did not possess the aura unique to warriors, Akaza's sixth sense told him that these people were also formidable experts.
However, when his gaze fell on Kushina, Yoru, and Mikoto beside Minato, his expression suddenly changed.
He looked disgusted and said with displeasure, "This is utterly disappointing! How dare you women set foot in a place like this? Get out of here! This is a battlefield exclusively for men!"
Before Ye Cang and the others could get angry, a gentle and mild voice rang out beside him.
"Oh dear, you can't say that. Girls are priceless treasures, especially such beautiful and charming girls as these."
As the sound came, a white-haired man slowly stepped out of the darkness.
His eyes were as vibrant as a rainbow, carrying a captivatingly gentle smile, like a spring breeze sweeping across the earth, warm and serene.
Chapter 257 The Konoha Team with Perfect Teamwork
Kyojuro Rengoku's expression grew increasingly solemn, for he could clearly see that the mark of Upper Moon Two was gleaming in the eyes of the newly appeared man.
This means that they are facing not only Akaza, but also another Upper Moon demon of equal strength.
This plunged Rengoku Kyojuro's spirits to rock bottom.
However, just as he was feeling somewhat desperate, his mother's face suddenly flashed into his mind.
He seemed to hear his mother's gentle voice: "Go for it, Kyojuro! I've always trusted you, you can do it."
These warm words instantly ignited his fighting spirit and helped him regain his strength.
Kyojuro Rengoku made a firm promise to himself:
Even if it means dying here, I will never let those behind me get hurt! I will protect them with my life until the very last moment.
Meanwhile, Seiryu, Madara, and Hashirama, who were observing the battle from another dimension, also noticed the changes in Rengoku Kyojuro.
Xingliu glanced thoughtfully at the transparent soul behind Rengoku Kyojuro, and began to contemplate this world more deeply.
Although this world is not of a high level, it has a unique reincarnation system.
This surprised Xingliu greatly, and at the same time made him realize that there were things in this world worth learning from.
In contrast, the Netherworld in the Naruto world seems too loose, where any technique can break the boundary between life and death.
Xingliu once considered having the world's will repair the Naruto world and strengthen the boundary between life and death.
But he eventually gave up the idea because he himself had disturbed the peace of the deceased.
He understood that double standards were unacceptable.
However, Xingliu did not give up on his thoughts about reincarnation.
After returning to the Naruto world, he plans to establish a more complete reincarnation system, giving those who wish to be reborn a chance to return to the human world.
In this way, the boundary between life and death will be clearer, the world will be more orderly, and his understanding of the rules of reincarnation will also improve.
Just as Xingliu was deep in thought, the battle situation on the field suddenly changed.
The provocative words of Upper Moon Two Doma and Upper Moon Three Akaza enraged the hot-tempered Kushina.
Although she is no longer the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, her bloodline talent is still incredibly powerful; otherwise, the original work wouldn't have specifically chosen her as a Jinchuriki.
In her previous self-introduction, Kushina casually mentioned that she was proficient in sealing techniques, but this was only the tip of the iceberg of her strength.
In reality, her abilities are far greater than people imagine.
At this moment, her fierce battle with Akaza is entering a white-hot stage, and the battle scene is extremely thrilling.
Akaza is now facing an unprecedented challenge.
Whenever he launched an attack, a layer of mysterious runes would appear on Kushina's body. These runes seemed to have a life of their own, neutralizing his attacks one by one.
Kushina's seemingly light counterattacks always manage to leave deep wounds on him.
Just as Akaza made a slight mistake, Kushina suddenly punched him.
The moment the fist made contact with flesh, Akaza's flesh seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, leaving a shocking bloody hole.
However, Kushina did not give him a chance to catch his breath.
She leaped up nimbly and stomped hard on Akaza.
At that moment, a strong sense of crisis surged into Akaza's heart like a tidal wave, forcing him to abandon his dignity and roll awkwardly on the ground to avoid the attack.
Immediately afterwards, a loud bang was heard.
Kushina stomped heavily on the ground, instantly creating a huge crater.
Scattered pebbles shot towards Akaza like sharp arrows, piercing his body in multiple places.
Fortunately, Akaza, being an Upper Moon demon, possessed the ability to regenerate rapidly; otherwise, he would have been defeated long ago.
However, this battle was undoubtedly an unprecedentedly frustrating experience for Akaza.
As a demon, he was used to fighting by exchanging blows, but he never expected to be at a disadvantage in this kind of battle today.
Nevertheless, he dared not be negligent in the slightest at this moment.
Kushina's kick just now made him realize that if he were hit head-on again, even if he didn't die, he would definitely lose his mobility temporarily and become a sitting duck.
Therefore, he decisively distanced himself from Kushina, deciding to change tactics and avoid close combat with her.
However, how could Kushina let him escape so easily?
But just as she was about to give chase, a bone-chilling cold suddenly struck.
"Blood Demon Art: Lotus Leaf Ice".
Doma's voice rang out from not far away. He smiled and waved his fan. In an instant, countless lotus-shaped ice crystals appeared on Akaza's retreat route.
These ice crystals, though beautiful, exude a deadly chill that sends shivers down one's spine.
If Kushina had insisted on pursuing them, she would probably be trapped in this frozen cloud by now.
Fortunately, she stopped in time and avoided the fatal blow.
"Although I don't have a good relationship with the Third Seat, I'll be blamed by the Lord if I just watch him get attacked."
Doma said it casually, as if his attack just now was just a game.
However, before he could finish speaking, two loud gunshots rang out.
After those two gunshots, their heads disappeared instantly.
Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Fuki appeared and used a high-level Fire Release ninjutsu.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!!"
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!!"
Two raging flames instantly engulfed the figures of Doma and Akaza.
Given Akaza's powerful regenerative abilities, the two did not hesitate to use their strongest fire-style ninjutsu to ensure their complete annihilation.
However, this is not over yet.
As the flames roared, a thick earthen wall rose out of thin air, sealing the raging fire, along with Doma and Akaza, inside.
Minato and Nawaki worked in perfect harmony, unleashing Wind Release: Gale Palm. The gale raged in the enclosed space, fueling the fire to become even more intense. Even the sturdy earthen walls gradually showed cracks amidst the flames.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye, and Rengoku Kyojuro and the others didn't even have time to react.
Especially Zenitsu's expression; he was looking at Minato and the others with a completely bewildered expression.
As he looked at the knife in his hand, he suddenly turned his gaze back to it, then tilted his head, circled it, and uttered a profound question:
"Lord Flame Pillar, I don't want to learn breathing techniques anymore, I want to learn this."
Purgatory ignored the eccentric person.
