The commotion was too great, and it was inconvenient for Chu Yang to stay in town any longer, let alone have too much interaction with Tanjuro in front of everyone, as this would not be good for his future life.
So Chu Yang simply took advantage of the chaos to slip away.
He climbed up the tree, leaned against the trunk and dozed off, waiting outside for Tanjuro.
A moment later, Tanjuro appeared slowly at the end of the mountain path, leading little Tanjiro by the hand.
"You're really slow."
Chu Yang leaped down from the tree and landed in front of the father and son.
"Thank you so much for earlier. If it weren't for you, I probably would have run into that demon." Recalling what had just happened, Tanjuro was still shaken and extremely grateful.
"There's no need for gratitude. I saved you for a reason." Chu Yang waved his hand, then said seriously, "I want to make a deal with you."
Tanjuro was immediately bewildered, realizing that besides selling charcoal, he had nothing else worth trading.
Chu Yang got straight to the point: "I want you to teach me the Kagura Dance. In exchange, I will give you a considerable sum of money so that you and your family can live a better life."
"So that's how it is." Tanjuro immediately realized that Chu Yang had taken a liking to his family's Kagura dance. He thought about it and realized that it made sense, since the only valuable thing he had was the Kagura dance.
"But... how do you know about the Kagura dance?" Tanjuro asked, puzzled.
"Let's talk as we walk." Chu Yang bent down and picked up the sleepy-eyed Tanjiro, walking ahead on his own. Tanjuro was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed.
Afterwards, Chu Yang told Tanjuro everything about the origin of demons, the history of the Demon Slayer Corps, and the friendship between Yoriichi Tsugikuni and Tanjiro.
Chu Yang had no need to hide anything from this man whose life was nearing its end, and given Tanjuro's personality, he wouldn't spread these secrets around.
As they talked, the two were almost at Tanjuro's house in the mountains.
Upon learning everything, Tanjuro felt an indescribable sense of emotion. He never imagined that the Breath of the Sun would be passed down in such a way in the end.
“In that sense, my short life has been meaningful.” Tanjuro smiled, his eyes sparkling with a light he had never seen before.
“Even without mentioning the Breath of the Sun, you are an excellent father. The meaning of your life is not given by the Breath of the Sun, but by your children,” Chu Yang replied sincerely.
When Tanjuro mentioned his children, he felt relieved. In any case, he wanted to leave something behind so that his wife and children could have an easier life in the future.
He had no reason to refuse Chu Yang's deal, and the other party didn't seem like a bad person.
In the end, Tanjuro performed a Kagura dance for Chu Yang at his doorstep. His movements were incredibly fluid and agile, unlike someone who was ill.
After finishing the dance once, Tanjuro prepared to dance a second time, but was stopped by Chu Yang. With Chu Yang's talent, he could remember the key points after watching it only once.
If Tanjuro were to perform the Kagura dance twice in a row, his body would be severely overworked.
As agreed, Chu Yang left behind a fortune to ensure that Tanjuro's widowed mother and children could live well after his death.
And this fortune just so happened to come from the ghost in the carpentry shop.
That ghost roamed human society for many years, preying on humans and enjoying scavenging things from the dead as his spoils. Over time, he accumulated more and more valuable items on them.
Chu Yang had little interest in wealth; no amount of wealth could buy him the Breath of the Sun.
Besides the wealth, Chu Yang also used Wood Release chakra to help Tanjiro regain some of his vitality. Although it couldn't completely cure his illness, it could extend his life by a few years, giving him the opportunity to watch Tanjiro grow up.
Interestingly, Tanjiro seemed to sense something while he was asleep.
She clung tightly to Chu Yang's clothes, refusing to let him leave. It took Chu Yang quite a bit of effort to break free.
After bidding farewell to Tanjuro's family, Chu Yang's solitary figure once again disappeared into the darkness.
Tanjuro stood guard by the door, gazing at Chu Yang's retreating figure.
In the darkness, I look up at the sky and silently pray in my heart.
May the gods bless you!
……
After leaving Tanjuro's house, Chu Yang returned the way he came, and when he passed through the town again, it was unusually lively.
Blood was everywhere in the carpentry shop.
The corpses of the boss and his family were so badly eaten by ghosts that they were unrecognizable. How could such a horrific crime scene not cause a sensation?
More importantly, many merchants witnessed the entire process of the ghost's death.
Just as Chu Yang was worrying about what to do.
Around the town, he saw members of "Hidden".
Clearly, they were sent by the Demon Slayer Corps to handle the aftermath.
The town is located in a relatively remote area.
Rumors and such are not easy to spread, have little impact, and are relatively easy to handle.
The real problem was the battle that broke out near Kyoto, which was difficult to conceal, and the Ubuyashiki family even had to use their connections with the government.
In small places like this, as long as the money is right, even the biggest problems can be suppressed, and the Ubuyashiki family has no shortage of money.
Professional tasks should be left to professionals. Chu Yang had no intention of making things worse; instead, he planned to return to the temple to practice the Breath of the Sun. If a mission came up, he would go and kill demons.
As for the Butterfly Mansion, Urokodaki Sakonji will naturally visit Makomo once he understands the situation; this is not something Chu Yang can interfere with.
After joining the Demon Slayer Corps, Chu Yang began a life of demon slaying and training, a life that consisted of nothing more than going back and forth between home and work.
Chu Yang's situation is roughly the same in both the One Piece world and the Naruto world.
Meanwhile, in the Harry Potter world, Chu Yang is experiencing his first Halloween since starting his studies at Hogwarts.
Chapter 67: Draco's Dilemma
67.
The Harry Potter world.
Time flies, and two months have passed since Chu Yang started studying at Hogwarts.
In fact, ever since Chu Yang clashed with the upperclassmen of Slytherin House last time, those upperclassmen of Slytherin have been harassing Chu Yang quite a bit in private.
The result can be imagined.
Hogwarts Hospital was so overcrowded that Dumbledore had to personally warn the upperclassmen and some of their parents to stop.
Chu Yang's fame soared as a result.
In the nearly thousand-year history of Hogwarts, there has never been a case of a first-year student beating up an upperclassman.
On the one hand, they were afraid of Chu Yang, and on the other hand, they received a serious warning from Dumbledore, so the Slytherin students became much more restrained.
Chu Yang's learning environment gradually stabilized.
It's worth mentioning that Draco hasn't dared to share a room with Chu Yang yet, and has been squeezing into Gore's and the others' dormitory for the past two months.
Draco's father, Lucius Malfoy, heard about it from other people.
Enraged, Lucius stormed into the school and gave Draco a severe dressing-down, scolding him for disgracing the Malfoy family.
Draco, who had always been terrified of his authoritative father, was so frightened that he trembled and couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Seeing his son's expression, Lucius was immediately filled with disappointment; his son's behavior...
This anger was directed at Chu Yang.
If Chu Yang hadn't been a student at Hogwarts, he would most likely have died mysteriously at some dark wizard's hideout in Knockturn Alley.
Those dark wizards might receive a hefty reward from the Malfoy family after the deed is done.
But Chu Yang happens to be a student at Hogwarts, and he is exceptionally talented, receiving constant attention from all the teachers and students.
Lucius Malfoy had absolutely no way to deal with him.
The other party had tried to cut off Chu Yang's full scholarship, but Dumbledore stopped him. Afterwards, he received a reminder from Ollivander, and his attitude was no longer as friendly as before.
Ollivander's original words were: "If Mr. Chu Yang loses his full scholarship to Hogwarts, Ollivander's Wand Shop will provide him with full financial support to complete his studies."
Lucius was very surprised that Ollivander, who had always been reluctant to get involved in disputes, would be so determined.
Driven by anger and curiosity, Lucius learned that Chu Yang occasionally worked as an apprentice at Ollivander's wand shop and had shown remarkable talent.
This led the elderly Ollivander to consider grooming him as his successor.
Lucius was surprised and sensed something unusual about it.
Normally, schools do not allow students to work part-time outside of school, and this rule has never been violated. However, Chu Yang received special treatment.
Out of caution, he began to gather information about Chu Yang. He asked people to visit most of the teachers and inquire about their impressions and evaluations of Chu Yang.
The result surprised him greatly!
Lucius had heard of and met many people with the title of genius, but Chu Yang seemed to be different from the genius he knew.
At Hogwarts, all the professors and teachers who had taught Chu Yang spoke highly of him, including even the most demanding Snape.
Although they didn't get along in terms of temperament, Snape had to admit Chu Yang's talent.
Spellcasting, flying, potions, transmutation, herbalism, divination, and so on—Chu Yang consistently ranked first, while everyone else was just there to compete for second place.
The more outstanding Chu Yang was, the more mediocre and incompetent Draco appeared in comparison, which made Lucius, as a father, feel both angry and a little jealous.
Why are Mudbloods, who are born Muggles, considered superior to pure-blood families?
