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

Yosuke had experienced the taijutsu of this world through Asuma, but what he couldn't understand was that the so-called taijutsu was not simply taijutsu; it also required some chakra assistance, which took it beyond the scope of pure taijutsu.

To be honest, without the aid of chakra, a ninja's taijutsu techniques are quite mediocre.

Yosuke squatted down and patted his shoulder.

Itachi Uchiha did not understand Yosuke's meaning.

"Get on my back, and I'll demonstrate for you."

Uchiha Itachi blushed and awkwardly climbed onto Yosuke's back.

"Pay attention to my breathing and pace. Sometimes, don't just use your eyes to observe your surroundings. Eyes are only one of your senses, and what you can see is very limited. Make full use of your other senses to observe your surroundings."

After saying that, Yang Jie started rushing down the mountain.

Yosuke moved forward at a steady pace so that Itachi Uchiha could fully observe his breathing and gait.

Despite the steep mountain path, Yang Jie walked as if it were flat ground.

Soon, Yosuke arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"Itachi, we've arrived."

Uchiha Itachi seemed to be in a dream world. After letting out a confused "ah," he realized that he was still on Yosuke's back and hurriedly climbed down.

"So, did you remember my breathing and gait just now?"

Uchiha Itachi nodded and said, "Yes! I've got it."

Yosuke ruffled Itachi's hair and said, "Very good, then let's end today's training here. Go home and get some rest today. I'll be waiting for you on the mountain tomorrow."

"Then I shall take my leave, Lord Yosuke."

After bowing respectfully, Itachi Uchiha headed back towards the Uchiha clan's territory.

Upon returning to his clan's territory, Itachi Uchiha encountered Shisui Uchiha once again.

"Itachi, what happened to you? Why are you covered in injuries?!" Uchiha Shisui asked worriedly.

"It's nothing, it's just because of cultivation."

Uchiha Shisui frowned: "What kind of training would leave you covered in injuries like this? Itachi, you're not practicing some kind of forbidden technique, are you?"

"No, it's just cultivating the most basic physical body."

"If that's really the case, that's good. But don't push yourself so hard next time, go and get some rest."

Uchiha Shisui clearly did not believe Uchiha Itachi's words. After Uchiha Itachi walked away, he pondered for a moment and then walked deeper into the Uchiha clan's territory.

Uchiha Shisui knocked on a door, and a deep male voice came from inside.

"Come in."

Uchiha Shisui opened the door and saw a man in a kimono sitting on the tatami mat, drinking tea.

"Oh, it's Shisui. What's up?"

"Clan Chief Fugaku, it's about Itachi," Uchiha Shisui said, kneeling on one knee.

"Itachi? What happened to him?"

Fugaku Uchiha was very fond of Itachi, whose son had great talent as a ninja. At the age of four, Itachi witnessed the brutality of the Third Shinobi World War and even killed a ninja from an enemy village who was trying to ambush him.

Moreover, even at such a young age, Itachi Uchiha thought like an adult, making him a perfect successor for Fugaku Uchiha.

"Itachi returned to the clan's territory today, covered in wounds."

"Injured? What happened?!" Fugaku Uchiha was slightly angry. As the son of the Uchiha clan's head, who would be so blind as to attack Itachi?

"I asked Itachi, but he just brushed it off with the excuse of training," Uchiha Shisui reported truthfully to Uchiha Fugaku.

After pondering for a moment, Fugaku Uchiha said to Shisui, "I understand."

Uchiha Shisui left the room.

"Ki!" Fugaku Uchiha shouted out from nowhere.

The next second, a ninja was kneeling on one knee at the door.

Do you know where Itachi went today?

Uchiha Teru reported, "Today, after Young Master Itachi went out, he seemed to be deliberately wary of me. After shaking me off, he disappeared without a trace."

Uchiha Hikaru felt somewhat ashamed, because he was a clan ninja specifically responsible for protecting Uchiha Itachi, but ever since Itachi and Shisui became friends, Itachi would always leave him behind from time to time. After finding Itachi, he discovered that Itachi was just training with Shisui.

After reporting to Fugaku Uchiha, Fugaku told him not to disturb them and to let them train in peace.

So, being somewhat lazy, every time he discovered that Uchiha Itachi had disappeared, he assumed that he had just gone to train with Shisui. Unexpectedly, at this time, Uchiha Fugaku, as the clan leader, questioned him.

Fugaku Uchiha did not reprimand Teru Uchiha; he simply said, "Understood."

After Uchiha Teru left, a very beautiful woman with a slightly protruding belly came to Uchiha Fugaku's side.

"Fugaku, what happened?"

Fugaku Uchiha, who had been serious, softened his expression: "It's nothing, Mikoto, why don't you go and rest?"

Fugaku Uchiha's wife, Mikoto Uchiha, said gently, "I'm thinking that the baby will be born soon, and we haven't named the unborn child yet. Do you have any ideas?"

After pondering for a moment, Fugaku Uchiha said, "If it's a boy, let's name him Sasuke, Uchiha Sasuke! If it's a girl, let's name her Sana."

Mikoto Uchiha gently stroked her belly and said softly, "Baby, did you hear that? Your name has been decided. I wonder if you'll be called Sasuke or Sana?"

Mikoto Uchiha suddenly asked, "Fugaku, has Kushina come to see me recently? I haven't seen her in a long time."

Upon hearing Kushina Uzumaki's name, Fugaku Uchiha's expression turned serious once again.

"Mikoto, don't see Kushina for a while."

"What's wrong?"

"You don't need to know. Just rest well. After Sasuke is born, if everything goes smoothly, you will be able to meet Kushina soon."

Seeing her husband's unusually serious expression, Uchiha Mikoto didn't ask any more questions. She had also sensed the tense atmosphere in the clan these past few days.

Chapter 166 Attack

Yosuke could feel the atmosphere in Konoha was incredibly tense.

Previously, you could see a few Jonin who had just finished a mission on the street, but now you can't see a single one.

After Asuma returned to Konoha from his mission, he only briefly met with Yosuke before returning to his mission and disappearing without a trace.

Konoha is currently under strict restrictions; only villagers are allowed to leave, not enter.

Yosuke has been questioned multiple times in the past month, but fortunately he has documents that allow him to stay safely in Konoha.

However, that feeling of being watched returned once again.

Upon arriving at the mountain once again, Itachi Uchiha was already waiting for a long time.

"Lord Yosuke," Itachi Uchiha bowed to Yosuke.

Although Yosuke told Itachi Uchiha many times that there was no need for so much formality, Itachi remained stubborn.

After a month of training, Itachi Uchiha could now travel up and down the mountain with great ease. Even when Yosuke set up many obstacles and even traps on the mountain path to increase the difficulty, Itachi was able to pass through smoothly.

This allowed Yosuke to witness genius once again.

Yosuke also considered Tokito Muichiro to be another genius, who became a Pillar in just two months.

Itachi's training now includes not only going up and down the mountain, but also swordsmanship training. In swordsmanship, Itachi's talent has also surprised Yosuke.

Every time Yosuke points out Itachi's weakness, Itachi is able to correct it, and even apply the knowledge to other situations, turning his weakness into a strength.

Even when Itachi was injured, Yosuke examined him and discovered that Itachi had the talent to learn Sun Breathing.

Today, Itachi Uchiha's training was as usual. Just as Itachi was training in an orderly manner, an uninvited guest arrived.

A man dressed in simple ninja attire and wearing a mask appeared on the training ground, exuding a faint killing intent.

The ninja pulled out several shuriken from his ninja tool bag and fired them directly at Itachi, who was training.

Itachi was startled and hurriedly swung his sword to block. Just as he was about to rush towards the ninja, the ninja had already leaped into the air, his hands quickly forming hand seals, aiming at Yosuke.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"

Like a balsam flower seed that flies out at the slightest touch, the flames spewed from the ninja's mouth spread in all directions, attacking Yosuke.

"Lord Yosuke!" Itachi shouted anxiously to Yosuke.

However, Itachi's worries were unnecessary. Yosuke swiftly swung his sword at a speed invisible to the naked eye, instantly extinguishing all the flames that were attacking him.

Yosuke rushed toward the ninja, drew his Ama no Kusanagi sword, and habitually slashed at the ninja's neck.

This ninja wasn't wearing a headband. In this world, a headband is like an identity card for ninjas. If someone attacks without wearing a headband, it's considered an invasion, and they can be killed on the spot without any reason.

The ninja's decision to attack Itachi Uchiha first led Yosuke to believe that the ninja was an invader from another village who wanted to take Itachi away.

The ninja deftly dodged Yosuke's slash with a few backflips, then quickly formed hand seals, creating multiple physical clones that approached Yosuke.

Yosuke sheathed the Ama-no-Kurokumo sword, bowed slightly, and assumed a drawing stance.

"Itachi, this is the sword technique I plan to teach you. I'll take this opportunity to show you its power."

Yosuke exhaled a burst of flame-like energy.

"Sun Breathing? First Form? Waltz!"

Yosuke unleashed a fiery arc-shaped slash forward, annihilating all of the ninja's physical clones in a single blow.

Yosuke's slash caused the pupils of the eyes beneath the ninja mask to shrink sharply. For safety, the real body once again distanced itself from Yosuke.

This visually stunning and incredibly powerful slash not only terrified the ninja, but also shocked Itachi, who was watching from the sidelines.

"Fire Release: Red Phoenix Claw!"

The ninja unleashed flames resembling balsam seeds once more, but this time it was an enhanced version of balsam fire, concealing shurikens within the flames for his attack.

"Breath of the Sun? Seventh Form? Sunset Turn!"

Yosuke instantly flashed into the air, dodging the Phoenix Flame, and then launched a horizontal slash while upside down.

Faced with Yosuke's slash, the ninja formed hand seals again and slammed his hands on the ground.

"Escape? Earth flow wall!"
