I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 4 Mere grains of sand are not even half as good as me!

Tanjiro?

Uchiha Hikaru was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.

It turns out it wasn't "Calabash Brothers" but "Demon Slayer"?

Tanjiro Kamado, the protagonist of Demon Slayer, has a head that's... really tough, after all, he's the head of the Demon Slayer Corps.

[Ironhead: Although I don't quite understand what you guys were saying before, you must all be very, very accomplished seniors. May I ask you a question?]

Anonymous: ...You said it.

[Iron-Headed Kid: How do I use a knife to cut this rock in half? [rock.jpg]]

"..."

A brief silence.

[Eternal Sister: In my world and Miss Hikari's world, imbuing a sword with a layer of wind-style chakra would suffice, but to cut through such a large rock in one go would require a high level of swordsmanship and chakra control. However, I'm not so sure about a world without chakra.]

[Yongdai Mei @ Anonymous: Does Miss Guang know?]

[Anonymous: I know a little bit.]

[Nameless @IronHead: The world you live in is called "Demon Slayer," where there are strange beings called demons who are nocturnal, eating people and causing chaos. To fight them, you must master "breathing techniques" and swordsmanship used in conjunction with them... As for how to specifically practice "breathing techniques," your master Urokodaki should have taught you; just follow his instructions.]

Uchiha Hikaru recalled the plot she had seen and responded.

the other side.

[Iron-Headed Kid: Breathing technique... I understand, thank you so much for your and Mr. Yongdai's guidance!]

They were quite polite.

Uchiha Hikaru pondered for a moment.

Judging from Tanjiro's words, the current timeline of Demon Slayer should be at the very beginning of the story.

The Kamado family was wiped out by demons, leaving only Tanjiro, who was out selling charcoal, and his sister Nezuko, who had become a demon. Guided by the Water Pillar, Tanjiro found the trainer Urokodaki and learned swordsmanship and breathing techniques in order to join the Demon Slayer Corps. Cutting through the giant boulder was the final test arranged by Urokodaki.

According to the original storyline, Tanjiro will receive guidance from his deceased senior brother Sabito and others during his training, thus completing the trials. Whether or not Hikaru Uchiha's reminder is present or not makes little difference.

but……

Considering the overall worldview of Demon Slayer, Uchiha Hikaru added:

[Anonymous@Tanjiro: If you encounter any problems that are difficult to solve, you can mention them in the group chat, and everyone will be happy to help you.]

Ghosts are indeed very dangerous and troublesome for ordinary people.

But for Uchiha Hikaru, who possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan, it's nothing.

She happens to be somewhat interested in the "breathing techniques" from the Demon Slayer world, and perhaps she can discuss it with Tanjiro and go take a look when she has some free time in a few days.

As for now...

Uchiha Hikaru raised his head and listened intently to the wind in the forest.

"Someone's coming... Did they hear what we just heard?"

Uchiha Hikaru stood still, waiting patiently.

A short while later.

Several dark figures appeared in the nearby forest. After observing from a distance for a while, they jumped down from the trees and surrounded Uchiha Hikaru, getting close to the huge crater created by the explosion.

"Who are you?"

"You were the one who caused that explosion, weren't you? Which ninja village are you from, and what are you trying to do by infiltrating Konoha?"

"Hmph, the evidence is irrefutable, why even ask? She must be some born evil spy brat from another village! Just grab her and interrogate her in the interrogation room!"

"..."

Uchiha Hikaru narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced around.

These guys were clearly from the Anbu, wearing animal masks of different shapes, making their true identities impossible to discern. The only certainty was that Kakashi wasn't among them, because none of them had white hair.

"Who is your leader?"

Uchiha Hikaru withdrew his gaze and slowly spoke, "I don't belong to any ninja village, nor do I intend to be your enemy. I just have some things I'd like to discuss with you. Could you please tell me who the current Hokage of Konoha is?"

"?"

The members of the secret service exchanged glances.

Uchiha Hikaru genuinely wanted to know the answer to this question, but her words were clearly taken as a provocation.

"Ha, asking such a stupid question, are you mocking us? It seems we have to take you in for questioning. Come with us!"

As soon as the leader of the secret service finished speaking, two men rushed forward with knives.

Uchiha Hikaru instinctively stepped back.

But she was already surrounded by these spies, and the moment she moved, the spies behind her immediately drew their short swords and attacked from behind.

The wind rises and falls!

The distance of less than ten meters closed in an instant, and the blade was already in front of him. Uchiha Hikaru could even feel the stinging pain as if it were a thorn in his back.

In the critical moment, she almost instinctively crouched down, her back barely avoiding the blade behind her. Then, with a swift movement, she stepped forward, grabbed the wrist of another ninja, and punched him in the stomach!

"vomit--"

Despite it being a fist that looked thin, weak, and not very powerful, the ninja who was hit by it changed color on the spot, and could barely hold onto the short sword in his hand.

Uchiha Hikaru's movements didn't falter for a moment. He snatched the short sword from the man's hand, then swung it around, unleashing a blinding flash of light. The blade collided head-on with over a dozen shuriken, sparks flying!

"...Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"

"Water Release: Water Whip!"

Taking advantage of the moment when the two sides were engaged in close combat, the leader of the ANBU quickly completed the hand seals. As he pressed his hands to the ground, a large amount of chakra surged, causing the soil within a dozen meters to churn wildly. In an instant, it turned into a large earthen wall that rose from the ground. Even the soil under Uchiha Hikari's feet rose high, lifting her into the air!

At the same time, a surging stream of water rushed towards him, striking Uchiha Hikaru's waist!

It's clear that they still want to capture Uchiha Hikari alive rather than kill her.

but……

"It seems you're not planning on having a proper conversation with me..."

Uchiha Hikaru's face darkened, and a scarlet light flashed in his eyes.

"?!"

"Those eyes, could they be...?"

I didn't even have a chance to say the words "Sharingan".

Uchiha Hikaru had already completed a series of dazzling hand seals: Rat - Ox - Dog - Horse - Monkey - Pig - Tiger!

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!!"

In an instant!

A blazing line of fire shot out from Uchiha Hikaru's mouth, and in the blink of an eye it spread out and transformed into boundless crimson fire waves that soared into the sky, like the sun rising, illuminating the night sky hundreds of meters around as bright as day!

Bang! ! !

The flames and the earthen wall collided with a deafening roar. The earthen wall erected by the dark operative leader lasted only a second before being crushed. The torrent of water evaporated instantly, turning into a white mist that dispersed in all directions! The intense heat scorched the surrounding air, and for a moment, the space within a few dozen meters seemed to warp and deform!

Fire snakes dance wildly!

High temperatures are spreading!!

In the firelight, Uchiha Hikaru's hair flew wildly, and her fair face was bathed in a crimson glow.

"Mere sand and gravel...not even a fraction of my worth!"
