I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 60 The Red-Haired, Burning-Eyed Uchiha Hikaru

To show his sincerity, Uzui Tengen took off the gemstone necklace he was wearing on his head, saying it could be used as tuition.

Uchiha Hikaru pondered for a moment: "Would you be willing to learn something less flashy?"

"...That's fine too."

Uzui Tengen nodded.

Although he constantly talks about pursuing "flashy" abilities, he also knows that many useful abilities are actually not flashy. For example, his own "Sound Breathing" is relatively unremarkable among the Nine Pillars, incomparable to Flame, Lightning, or even Love. If he could truly learn a few techniques from Uchiha Hikaru, there would be no need to be picky.

"Alright then."

Out of consideration for being colleagues, and also because he himself had some desire to conduct experiments, Uchiha Hikaru tried to teach Uzui Tengen the method of chakra extraction.

But the result was not satisfactory.

No matter how hard Uzui Tengen tried, he couldn't extract a single trace of chakra.

but……

When Uchiha Hikaru changed his approach and tried to use his "Eight Thousand Spears" ability to separate a portion of his chakra and inject it into Uzui Tengen's body, and then guided him to use hand seals to guide the flow of this chakra, Uzui Tengen actually released a clone technique!

Although the effects were disastrous, it was a genuine ninjutsu!

This is a bit interesting.

"As long as you have chakra... even someone from the Demon Slayer world can use ninjutsu?"

With a try-it-and-see attitude, Uchiha Hikaru injected a little more chakra and then taught Uzui Tengen some basic ninjutsu knowledge.

When the second week arrives...

Uzui Tengen could barely use the Transformation and Substitution Techniques from the Three Body Techniques, especially when transforming into the appearances of his three wives, which actually looked quite realistic. The drawback was that the effect was too short, lasting only a dozen seconds before reverting to the original form.

The clone technique is still not good enough to watch.

"Um……"

Hikaru Uchiha suddenly realized that he might have something in common with Naruto.

Of the three body techniques, the transformation technique is the fastest to learn, and it's even better at transforming into the opposite sex... Maybe I could try developing a seduction technique?

No matter what.

As a ninja from the Demon Slayer world, being able to use ninjutsu from the Naruto world is already quite incredible. As for truly "flashy" techniques like the Water Dragon Bullet and the Great Fire Annihilation, even in the Naruto world, these are advanced ninjutsu that only a select few elites can learn. It's really unrealistic for Uzui Tengen to learn them in a short period of time.

"It's alright."

Uchiha Hikaru concluded by saying, "Although the Three Body Technique is just a basic ninjutsu, it might actually be quite useful here... I still have a lot of chakra left in your body, so using the Three Body Technique a thousand or two times shouldn't be a problem. You can also experience that feeling again and try refining your own chakra."

Anyway, I've already taught you the methods. How well you practice is up to you.

"...I've got it."

Yuzui Tengen hesitated for a moment, then solemnly performed a disciple's salute: "Thank you, Master Hikaru."

"ha?"

……

During this time, Kagaya Ubuyashiki was also busy.

on the one hand.

Based on the information about Kaigaku provided by Uchiha Hikaru, the Demon Slayer Corps launched an investigation into the latter. Although Kaigaku himself vehemently denied ever bringing demons into his house, signs of lying were detected, and he was temporarily detained.

—In fact, Kaigaku's real crime is that he will betray the Demon Slayer Corps and join Muzan's forces, which will lead to his master, Kuwashima Jigoro, committing seppuku as atonement. However, this has not yet happened, and given the mistakes he made in his childhood, he will most likely be spared and is unlikely to be executed.

However, these follow-up actions are the Demon Slayer Corps' own business.

Uchiha Hikaru had already done more than enough by saying a few words; there was no way he could care less.

on the other hand.

Based on the information about the Twelve Demon Moons provided by Uchiha Hikaru during the transaction, the Demon Slayer Corps conducted a large-scale search.

What Uchiha Hikaru knew was mainly the Blood Demon Art abilities of the Twelve Demon Moons and how to kill them. However, since these guys generally did not have the habit of acting in groups and most of them were elusive, it was by no means easy to accurately find their whereabouts with such limited information.

but……

There are at least two ghost months that can be traced back to—

Upper Moon Two, Doma, is the founder of the Manse Gokuraku-kyō (Eternal Paradise Cult). Even after becoming a demon, he did not relinquish his position and often remained within the cult. Theoretically, Doma could be found through the Manse Gokuraku-kyō.

The Upper Moon Six, Daki and her brother, were courtesans known as "Waraki-hime" from the Yoshiwara pleasure quarters in Edo City, and they had been disguised as humans there for a long time. They went undetected because all the Demon Slayer Corps members who encountered them, including the Pillars, were killed.

After some investigation.

The Demon Slayer Corps found several members of the Eternal Paradise Cult, but they were all ordinary people who knew nothing about the cult's organizational structure.

However, the spies who went to Yoshiwara quickly located a business called "Kyogoku-ya"—the very place where "Warakihime" was hiding under an alias.

then……

Under Kagaya Ubuyashiki's arrangement, the three pillars of Flame, Sound, and Serpent quickly assembled, leading nearly twenty lower-ranking members, including Tanjiro and his two companions, along with a large number of "Hidden" support staff, to Yoshiwara.

Uchiha Hikaru, on the evening of the day three or four days after they set off, when he had confirmed the situation and was ready to take action, created a shadow clone with half of his chakra and rode the Flying Nimbus to catch up with them.

Late that night.

A significant battle broke out in Yoshiwara.

Although the Demon Slayer Corps had prior knowledge of the situation, Yoshiwara Yukaku was one of the most densely populated areas in Edo City, especially crowded at night. Furthermore, there were many hostages hidden in the basement of "Kyogoku-ya." In order to evacuate the crowd as much as possible and reduce casualties, the Demon Slayer Corps revealed some weaknesses, which alerted Daki and her brother. As a result, Gyutaro appeared ahead of schedule.

During the battle, a small part of the street near Kyogoku-ya was destroyed, and Tanjiro and his companions were once in danger.

Of course……

This battle is absolutely unwinnable.

With three pillars facing off against one Upper Moon Six, and having obtained crucial intelligence beforehand, taking down the opponent was only a matter of time.

So at this critical moment when the situation is about to turn around.

The red-haired, scorching-eyed Uchiha Yoriichi Hikari descended from the sky once more, swiftly defeating the Daki siblings with overwhelming force, and then sealing them away... To be precise, one of them glanced at them, and the pair of Upper Moon Sixes gave up their resistance, then were sealed motionless inside the scroll.

Because the whole process went too smoothly, Rengoku Kyojuro and others once suspected that the Daki siblings were rigging the match.
