I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 64 Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi? (Please continue reading~)

The so-called "experiment" mainly targeted the regenerative abilities of the impure body.

Uchiha Hikaru concentrated his chakra in his right hand, and with his fingers like a knife, he severed Kamado Aoi's wrist, shoulder, and neck in turn.

This scene took everyone by surprise.

Tanjiro and Nezuko stared wide-eyed, their expressions filled with disbelief.

The children, including Takeo, who had just been "resurrected" and were eager to protect their mother, cried and tried to run over to help, but were stopped by Uchiha Hikaru's shadow clones one by one, their bodies struggling in mid-air.

Kyojuro Rengoku tentatively spoke up from the side, "Miss Hikari, what's wrong...?"

"Shh-"

Look closely.

Uchiha Hikaru raised his index finger and made a shushing gesture.

In just a few minutes, Kamado Himawari's severed hands, arms, and head first turned into dust and scattered, then reformed themselves in various parts of her body. This sight was even more astonishing than the previous "resurrection," and Bulma and Rengoku Kyojuro once again felt their worldviews being forcibly shattered.

But soon.

Rengoku Kyojuro and Uzui Tengen seemed to have made a connection to something, and subconsciously became alert:

"Miss Hikari, could it be that Tanjiro's mother and the others were... turned into demons by you?"

"No, it's different from a ghost."

Uchiha Hikaru shook his head slightly: "You can think of the bodies created by the Impure World Reincarnation as dolls made of clay, where the soul can temporarily reside. In this state, they do not need to eat or sleep, nor do they age or die. Any damage they suffer will be restored to its original state within a certain period of time... Of course, they are not afraid of the sun."

"However, this kind of ninjutsu is not without its flaws. If you look closely, you will find that their skin has many fine cracks, and their physical strength is probably weaker than when they were alive."

—The basis for this judgment is that Uchiha Hikaru discovered that Kamado Aoi's wounds were healing much slower than she had expected.

As for strength...

Kamado Aoi was just an ordinary person in life, not a combatant, so it's not appropriate to test her directly.

But you can probably figure it out by thinking about it—

In the original Naruto storyline, even the four Hokage summoned by Orochimaru during the Fourth Shinobi World War were far weaker than their predecessors. As for the version developed by Tobirama Senju in the early days of Konoha, its effectiveness would only be worse.

Given the white-haired Hokage's modus operandi, he likely used this technique in conjunction with the Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags. If it was merely used as a suicide bomb, then the extent to which the Edo Tensei body's power could be preserved wasn't particularly important.

(Looks like I still need to find some time to go to the Sound Village and bring over Orochimaru's improved version of the Impure World Reincarnation...)

After confirming the information he wanted, Uchiha Hikaru waved his hand, signaling Kamado Aoi to go back.

Then, she turned to look at Rengoku Kyojuro and Uzui Tengen:

"Actually, this is also the first time I've used this ninjutsu. I'm not sure what effect it will have in this world, whether it can be maintained after Bulma and I leave, or whether there will be any side effects from using demons as sacrifices... Let's just give it a try first."

"Kyojuro, Tengen, this is also why I invited you to come along."

"Tanjiro and Nezuko may not be able to handle the potential problems and troubles that may arise afterward, so we can only ask you to help take on this responsibility. Whether or not to tell the other Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps about what happened tonight, as well as Mr. Ubuyashiki, is also up to you to decide."

"..."

The two pillars exchanged a few glances, but nodded nonetheless: "Thank you for your trust, Miss Guang. We will find a way to arrange things properly..."

After giving a few final instructions...

Uchiha Hikaru exhaled and looked up at the night sky:

"So..."

"Bulma and I should probably head back soon."

Having entered the Demon Slayer world, Hikaru Uchiha has basically achieved all of his objectives—

I've learned most of the "breathing techniques," copied some of the "Hinokami Kagura" from Tanjiro, collected quite a few living demons and blood samples, and acquired a bunch of useful and useless mystical items.

They returned with a great harvest.

Although she was somewhat interested in Muzan Kibutsuji and the Upper Moons and wanted to capture them as experimental subjects, since she had been here for so long without finding out their whereabouts, there was no point in staying any longer, so she had to give up for now.

Anyway, with Tanjiro around, she can still come over anytime if Muzan really does appear one day.

and so……

"Farewell. Please convey our goodbyes to the others."

Goodbye everyone~

Uchiha Hikaru and Bulma waved their hands, and their bodies turned into a white light and disappeared from the spot.

"???"

Kyojuro Rengoku's owl-like eyes widened even more, and he stared blankly for a long time before suddenly turning around to look at Tanjiro: "Tanjiro, what's wrong with Hikari and the others...?"

Tanjiro was currently watching Kamado Aoi and the others' bodies nervously, following Uchiha Hikaru's previous instructions. When he heard Kyojuro's words, he vaguely replied, "Well... I don't really understand the specifics, but it seems that Hikaru and the others don't belong to this world."

"Not belonging to this world? What does that mean?"

Uzui Tengen looked completely bewildered.

As Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps, they were quite knowledgeable and experienced.

While the abilities that Uchiha Hikaru had previously displayed were incredible, they were not so groundbreaking as to overturn conventional understanding.

But today...

From the "resurrection of the dead" to the regeneration of severed limbs, and then to the disappearance of a body into white light... all of this is reshaping their worldview, to the point that even they, as pillars, don't know how to feel.

Suddenly, Kyojuro Rengoku looked up at the bright moon, as if he understood something: "I know... No wonder Hikari looked at the night sky like that just now. It turns out that she and Bulma are gods from heaven! They must have returned to their homeland now!"

"?"

Uzui Tengen was stunned for a moment, then gradually realized: "That's right... being able to revive the dead, that must be the power of Izanami, the goddess who governs Yomotsu Hirasaka, right?"

"No, Miss Hikari looked at the moon several times before leaving. I guess she must be the pure and innocent Princess Kaguya who lives on the moon!" Rengoku Kyojuro said confidently.

"And what about Miss Bulma? Could it be Tsukuyomi, who lives on the moon with her?"

"...Only Amaterasu Omikami could collect sunlight and turn it into a weapon!"

At this point, the two pillars exchanged a glance, feeling as if they had discovered an incredible truth.

Tanjiro: "?"
