People in Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began with Demon Slayer

However, as a demon, Gyutaro is least afraid of poison, and in just a few breaths, the poison in his body has been neutralized.

Ebizo stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "How is this possible? Why hasn't the poison taken effect yet?!"

"Your poison is too weak, not even as good as the dregs of poison that Kanae and Shinobu casually made."

"The Five Elements Escape Technique is still more interesting. That brat Hozuki Suigetsu I met last time, he could liquefy any part of his body, which was quite fun. After this is over, should I ask him to come to the Land of Lightning with me...?"

Gyutaro's absent-mindedness completely enraged Ebizo.

He immediately ordered all the puppeteers to attack Gyutaro.

"Blood Demon Art? Circular Slash Spin? Flying Blood Scythe!"

Gyutaro wrapped his hands around a spiral of blood-red slashes, destroying all the puppets that attacked him, all while thinking of Hozuki Suigetsu.

"Let's go find that brat while we're at it, and also ask him if he wants to join the organization. Anyway, Yosuke-sama really likes taking care of kids."

Chapter 213 Crimson Scythe Rolls into Hell

Gyutaro glanced listlessly at the Sunagakure ninjas slowly closing in, then scratched his head in exasperation: "Even knowing the gap between us, do we still have to fight? What a hassle. Fine, let's just finish you off completely, and it'll be a good opportunity to test the power of this world!"

Faced with Gyutaro's contempt for puppetry, Ebizo was furious, but just as Gyutaro had stated, the puppetry techniques that the Sunagakure ninjas were so proud of were of no use to Gyutaro.

The injuries inflicted on Gyutaro will heal on their own in the next second, and the specially developed poison has no effect whatsoever.

Gyutaro began to form hand seals. Compared to Yosuke's speed in forming hand seals, Gyutaro was far superior, demonstrating great skill.

"Wind Release: Tornado Hurricane!"

A tornado made of wind-style chakra rose from the ground and swirled around Gyutaro.

"It's not over yet!"

Gyutaro mixed the razor-sharp, blood-stained blade into the tornado, and the blue tornado blended with the red blood-stained blade, the two completely different colors merging and intertwining.

Gyutaro combined Wind Release ninjutsu and Blood Demon Art to create a completely new power.

"Blood Demon Art? Crimson Scythe Sweeps Across Hell!"

A massive, crimson-blue tornado swept towards the ninjas of Sunagakure.

The ninjas from Sunagakure immediately unleashed their ninjutsu.

A large number of ninjutsu were launched towards the tornado, attempting to stop its advance.

However, the moment the ninjutsu touched the tornado, it was annihilated and shattered, becoming completely ineffective.

The Sand Village ninjas closest to the tornado were sucked into it by its powerful suction and turned into a pile of minced meat.

Everyone watched this scene in horror and ran away.

However, as time went on, the tornadoes grew larger and larger, making it impossible to escape their range.

Just as the Sand Village ninjas were in despair, a voice emerged from the crowd.

"Puppet Technique? Three Treasures Absorb and Collapse!"

Three puppets dressed in white, each with a distinct posture, appeared.

The three puppets formed a triangular formation, which, when activated, created a violent tornado that collided with Gyutaro's tornado.

In an instant, the two tornadoes collided violently, creating a fierce gale that made it almost impossible to open one's eyes.

The two tornadoes merged, eventually canceling each other out and disappearing into the air.

Gyutaro looked up in surprise and saw an old woman in the middle of the Sunagakure crowd. Besides the three white-clad puppets that released tornadoes in the center of the battlefield, there were seven other white-clad puppets beside the old woman.

Asuma's expression was extremely grim: "A top-tier puppeteer who can manipulate puppets with just one finger, Chiyo, one of the former advisors of Sunagakure?!"

"Sister, what brings you here?" Ebizo asked Chiyo in confusion.

Chiyo scolded, "You said you were going to live in seclusion, why are you out here again?"

Ebizo said somewhat apologetically, "Rasa asked me to..."

Chiyo's wrinkled face scrunched up: "That brat's ambition is far too great. He knows that if he directly asks for my help, I won't agree, but if he can persuade you, then I will have no choice but to step in."

Asuma and the others retreated to Gyutaro's side.

Asuma tentatively asked, "Sir, were you sent by Konoha or Jiraiya-sama to support us?"

Gyutaro ignored Asuma and turned to Hayate Gekko: "You should be able to hold on, right?"

Asuma felt awkward when he saw that Gyutaro was completely ignoring him, so he lit a cigarette to ease the embarrassment.

Moonlight Gale paused for a moment before replying, "I can still hold on."

"Then you should leave here right now. I'll hold them off."

"how about you?"

Gyutaro said with a bit of sarcasm, "I'm not as weak as you. You've clearly learned the breathing technique, but I didn't expect you to still be so weak."

Moonlight Gale: ...?

When Gekko Hayate heard Gyutaro mention breathing techniques, he immediately thought of Yosuke and asked incredulously, "Could it be that Mr. Yosuke asked you to come and help us?"

Asuma stared wide-eyed in disbelief and asked, "Yosuke isn't dead?!"

Might Guy and Kurenai Yuhi were unaware of Yosuke's existence. Only a handful of people in Konoha knew of Yosuke, so they were completely confused.

Gyutaro sensed that Asuma knew Yosuke from his tone, so he asked, "You know Lord Yosuke too?"

Asuma nodded and said, "Of course, we're best friends!"

"Really?" Gyutaro looked Asuma around with some suspicion.

"Of course it's true. You still haven't answered me. Is Yosuke still alive?" Asuma asked impatiently.

"Isn't that a pointless question? Of course he's still alive!"

Upon hearing the news that Yosuke was still alive, Asuma and Gekko Hayate were immediately overjoyed.

Asuma immediately thought of the night of the Uchiha massacre, and the three masked people he encountered while chasing Uchiha Itachi.

Uchiha Itachi was Yosuke's disciple, so one of the three masked people must be Yosuke!

Seeing that Asuma and the other three still hadn't moved, Gyutaro impatiently urged, "Hey, are you guys coming or not?"

The information about Chiyo's appearance at the front lines must be reported to Jiraiya. Asuma nodded and said, "We'll act immediately. I'm counting on you!"

"Now that you're here, how could we let you leave so easily! White Secret Technique? The Ten Puppet Masters of Chikamatsu!"

Seeing Asuma and the others retreat, Chiyo manipulated ten puppets to attack them.

Gyutaro blocked the path of the ten puppets.

"Blood Demon Art? Circular Slash Spin? Flying Blood Scythe!"

The spiraling slash of blood successfully halted the puppet's advance.

However, Chiyo's puppets were clearly of higher quality than those ordinary puppets; Gyutaro's flying blood scythe only destroyed half of one of the puppets' bodies.

Under Chiyo's manipulation, the puppet that had been cut in half by Gyutaro was reconnected.

"These puppets are pretty good, aren't they? Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"

Gyutaro spews a stream of water from his mouth, forming a water dragon that strikes the enemy.

Unlike the color of ordinary water, Gyutaro mixed highly poisonous blood into the water, making the Water Dragon Bullet look like a blood dragon.

"Puppet Technique? Mechanical Light Shield Seal!"

Chiyo uses the puppet mechanism as a medium to transform her chakra into a shield that can defend against everything, thus blocking all of Gyutaro's Water Dragon Bullets.

Asuma and his three companions had successfully retreated under Gyutaro's cover, and Gyutaro did not want to linger in the fight, as he still needed to get to the Land of Lightning in time.

"I originally wanted Lord Yosuke to be a witness to my new ability, but since you don't want me to leave, then I'll give you this honor!"

Chapter 214 Orochimaru's Theft

Gyutaro quickly formed hand seals.

"Wind Release: Chaotic Airflow!"

Two small tornadoes appeared in Gyutaro's hands, which he then slammed onto the ground.

Two small tornadoes merged and lifted Gyutaro's body, making him float in the air.

Gyutaro spread his arms wide, and a large amount of blood flowed from his body, merging with the tornado.

"Blood Demon Art? Infinite Blood Scythe Great Breakthrough!"

Using the tornado beneath his feet, Gyutaro spun rapidly, and the blood emanating from the tornado transformed into a blood scythe as he moved, indiscriminately attacking the ninjas of Sunagakure.

Seeing this, Chiyo and Ebizo hurriedly shouted, "Use defensive ninjutsu to defend yourselves!"

The ninjas of Sunagakure used various defensive ninjutsu techniques, but with little effect.

In an instant, cries of sorrow filled the air, and blood gradually stained the earth red.

When the tornado subsided, the Sand Village ninjas suffered heavy casualties, and Gyutaro's figure had already disappeared from the battlefield.

Ebizo stared at the corpses of his fellow villager ninjas on the ground, clenching his fists in fury and slamming them into the earth: "Bastards!"

Chiyo patted Ebizo on the shoulder sadly and sighed, "War has come once again."

Asuma and his three companions successfully escaped and returned to their base, reporting Chiyo's presence at the front lines to Jiraiya.

Jiraiya's expression was somewhat grim: "The assassination mission failed, and Chiyo and Ebizo have both appeared on the front lines. Our plan to launch a surprise attack on the Sunagakure ninja forces is going to be difficult."

"By the way, Asuma, where is that mysterious ninja now? Didn't he rejoin you after he saved you?"

Asuma shook his head and said, "After we successfully evacuated with the help of the mysterious ninja, we waited at the border for a while, but he did not arrive."

At that moment, Hiashi Hyuga entered: "There's new information at the front!"

"Have the ninjas of Sunagakure begun their operation?" Jiraiya thought that the information Hiashi Hyuga had brought was news of the Sunagakure ninja village's advance.

Hiashi Hyuga excitedly reported, "No! The Sand Village ninja suffered heavy casualties and have now retreated to the border for rest and recuperation!"

Jiraiya jumped up from his seat with a 'whoosh,' and asked again in disbelief, 'Is the information accurate?!'

"The intelligence is accurate. The Hyuga clan ninjas and I saw it clearly with our Byakugan!"
