Starting from Naruto, fusion anime girls

Even if she only considers her physical condition, she has no chance of inheriting the Chouya now. Because in the battle with Douma, she repeatedly overdrew her body and performed various powerful breathing methods. Especially the last Sun Breathing, that move of the True Jing Jing Jing is the strongest defense among all breathing methods, which is not something that the current Choucho Shinobu can control.

So after performing that move and blocking Douma's last hope of escape, not only Douma died under the sun's rays, but even Kocho Shinobu herself fainted uncontrollably. When Kocho Shinobu regained consciousness, she felt uncomfortable all over her body, which was obviously a side effect of the Sun Breathing Technique.

It was only the 16th form of Sun Breathing, but my body has become like this. If I use the 18th form of Sun Breathing, the 20th form of Moon Breathing, or the 14th form of Star Breathing in the future, I will definitely die on the spot, right?

Hehe, in fact, let alone the most terrifying moves among these breathing techniques, even the high-level sword techniques of Flower Breathing and Insect Breathing, my body can't perform them... Damn, I'm still too thin. Otherwise, how could a mere Douma force me to this point! I have to find a way to improve my physical fitness.

As Shinobu Kocho thought about this, her mind gradually became dazed again, and then she fell asleep again.

After two days, Shinobu Kocho finally regained consciousness. After another seven days of recuperation, she regained her mobility and was able to walk. According to Shinobu Kocho's own estimation, it would take at least a month for her to fully recover.

Of course, if she uses Uchiha Izumi's chakra to perform medical ninjutsu, Kocho Shinobu can recover her ability to move in an instant. But the essence of medical ninjutsu is to overdraw her vitality. If it is not necessary, Kocho Shinobu will still choose to recover normally.

After lying in bed for half a month, Shinobu Kocho finally walked out of the Butterfly House and began to prepare for her sister Kanae's funeral. However, because Kanae was eaten clean by Douma, even at her sister's funeral, there was no body of Kanae in the coffin. There were only the clothes that Kanae usually wore and the items she used, which was considered a cenotaph.

It was also at this funeral that Shinobu Kocho met the senior members of the Demon Slayer Corps one by one.

They are the Water Pillar Tomioka Giyuu, who has a blank face, wears a colorful haori and doesn't seem to be very talkative. The Rock Pillar Gomei Umeishima, who is tall and strong, but blind and always has tears in his eyes. The Wind Pillar Fushigawa Minoru, who has a scar on his face and a fierce look, and the other elite swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Standing at the head of these people was the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, the head of the Ubuyashiki family, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya. This was a man with long black hair and looked very kind. He looked very young, only a few years older than Shinobu Kocho, but the look in his eyes was obviously not what a man of this age should have.

Relying on the fusion of souls with Uchiha Izumi, Kocho Shinobu has already gained a certain understanding of the original plot of Demon Slayer, and knows that the Ubuyashiki clan is cursed by Muzan Kibutsuji and basically cannot live beyond the age of 30. Even Ubuyashiki Yoya, who is not yet 20 years old, is much weaker than his peers. Even Kocho Shinobu, who is seriously injured and has not recovered, feels much healthier than him.

"Shinobu-san, I'm sorry about what happened to your sister."

Seeing Shinobu Kocho standing vigil for her sister, Ubuyashiki Yoya sighed softly.

Seeing this, Shinobu Kocho bowed in return, then looked at Ubuyashiki Yoya's lesioned forehead and said:

"Compared to my sister's matter, my lord, you should consider your own health. Judging from the bulging blood vessels and the degree of tissue distortion on your forehead, it is very likely to be thrombophlebitis or cerebral arteriovenous malformation. Of course, the possibility of a tumor cannot be ruled out."

"No matter what the truth of this disease is, you won't live more than five years. So I suggest you get a detailed physical examination as soon as possible, find out the cause of the disease, and develop a corresponding treatment plan."

After fusing her soul with Uchiha Izumi's, Kocho Shinobu, who was already good at medical treatment, gained a higher level of medical knowledge in the ninja world, and her vision improved greatly. After just a little observation, she had a general understanding of Ubuyashiki Kazuya's physical condition and gave her own suggestions.

Hearing what Shinobu Kocho said, Ubuyashiki Kazuya just smiled and shook his head:

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Shinobu, but this is a curse that has been passed down from generation to generation in our Ubuyashiki family. Ever since Muzan Kibutsuji appeared in our Ubuyashiki family, the children in our family have been weak and sickly since childhood. When they reach a certain age, this deformed tissue will appear in their bodies, and then they will die before the age of thirty."

"I think this should be the punishment from the gods for our Ubuyashiki family! The sins we committed caused the hostility of the gods, so the descendants of the Ubuyashiki family will suffer from generation to generation. This is not something that can be cured by any medical skills. It is the price that our Ubuyashiki family must bear."

Facing Ubuyashiki Yoya's words, Kocho Shinobu said with disdain:

"If there really were gods in this world who punished evildoers, Kizuji Mai Muzan would have been struck to death by lightning long ago. But what is the reality? He has killed so many people, and yet he is still living freely."

"So, Mr. Ubuyashiki, it is not good to hide your illness and avoid medical treatment. Considering that the Ubuyashiki family has had symptoms like yours for generations, I think your family is most likely suffering from a hereditary tumor caused by gene mutation. This disease is indeed incurable for other people, but as long as you give me enough funds and research conditions, it is not an incurable disease."

Faced with Shinobu Kocho's words, even Ubuyashiki Yoya was stunned.

Although he didn't understand what "gene" Shinobu Kocho meant, after all, the term "gene" was only proposed in 1909, and only a few medical scientists in the Demon Slayer world knew about this concept. But feeling the determination in Shinobu Kocho's tone, he was sure that Shinobu Kocho really had the ability to cure their family's genetic disease.

Just thinking of what Shinobu Kocho said about "sufficient funds", he asked again:

"Ms. Shinobu, how much money do you mean when you say you want enough money to cure me?"

Hearing this, Kochi Shinobu thought:

"Considering the current limited research conditions, if you only want to cure hereditary tumors... at least bring a million dollars!"

"One, one million dollars?"

Hearing this number, even the wealthy Ubuyashiki Yoya was shocked.

The Demon Slayer Corps was in the Taisho era, when the U.S. dollar was directly linked to gold, which was not comparable to the green paper printed by the printing press in later generations. In fact, the equipment cost of an ordinary member of the Demon Slayer Corps was only about 80 U.S. dollars. Converted to one million U.S. dollars, it was enough for the Demon Slayer Corps to recruit more than Demon Slayer swordsmen.

Such an expense is really too high. Upon hearing this, Ubuyashiki Yoya shook his head and said:

"It's too expensive. It's too expensive. This much money should be spent on swordsmen fighting demons instead of treating my illness."

In fact, Shinobu Kocho knew that it was unlikely that she would get one million dollars from Ubuyashiki Yoya. However, for Shinobu Kocho, who had mastered a higher level of medical technology, it was not difficult to earn one million dollars in this era of backward technology. So she suggested:

"Mr. Ubuyashiki, are you interested in investing 10,000 US dollars for me to use as research and development funds? As long as you give me enough time, I guarantee that I can come up with research results worth hundreds of millions of dollars. This will not only benefit the Demon Slayer Corps, but also Mr. Ubuyashiki's disease can be cured."

Hearing Shinobu Kocho's proposal, Ubuyashiki Kayoya was naturally tempted. However, thinking about the current situation, Ubuyashiki Kayoya still reminded:

"Shinobu-san, isn't it inappropriate to say this at your sister's funeral?"

But Kocho Shinobu said in a low voice:

"My parents died at the hands of demons, and my sister also died at the hands of demons. Now, I dream of ending the sins of demons. But I also know my situation. No matter how hard I practice, I will not have the physical fitness to match that of demons. So I plan to study demons through scientific methods, understand demons, and then defeat them fundamentally!"

"I know this is my sister's funeral, but that's why I can't hold back my inner anger and can't wait to become the blade that ends the evil spirits. So Mr. Ubuyashiki, please agree with my idea after the funeral! I will give the Demon Slayer Corps an unimaginable fortune, and in return, I also need the most advanced scientific research equipment of this era to study everything about demons!"

Hearing the determination in Shinobu Kocho's tone, Ubuyashiki Yoya finally agreed with Shinobu Kocho's idea.

“Okay, after the funeral, I will agree to your request. Also, although your sister was lost in this battle, you also killed Douma, the Upper Rank Two. We have been in the Demon Slayer Corps for so many years, and you are the first swordsman to kill an Upper Rank. So as a reward, after this funeral, you will officially become a pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps!”

Shinobu Kocho nodded when she heard that, and then began to concentrate on receiving the guests at the funeral.

Among these guests, two people attracted Kocho Shinobu's attention. One was Rock Pillar, Gyoumei Beimingyu. When Kocho Shinobu's family was attacked by evil spirits, it was Rock Pillar, Gyoumei Beimingyu who rescued them. It was also because of the influence of Rock Pillar that they embarked on the path of swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Now seeing that the girl he had saved had sacrificed before him, Beimingyu Xingming was naturally very sad. While he couldn't stop crying, he was also reciting the scriptures of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

In addition to Gyoumei, another person who felt grief was the Wind Pillar Fushigawa Shigeya. The reason was that Fushigawa Shigeya had always had a crush on Shinobu Kocho's sister, but he didn't expect that he couldn't express his feelings until he knew that Kanae had died. So at the funeral, he became dazed, just watching his beloved being separated from him by Yin and Yang.

Chapter 125 Everything for Immortality

In such a sad atmosphere, the funeral of Kocho Kanae ended.

Not long after, in the cemetery of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Seeing her sister's coffin without a body buried in the soil, Shinobu Kocho suddenly closed her eyes. Perhaps it was only then that she truly accepted her sister's departure. So when the soil on the coffin was sealed, Shinobu Kocho immediately shed tears.

She was not only crying for Kanae, but also for the former Kocho Shinobu. Because she knew that when Kocho Shinobu's soul merged with Uchiha Izumi, not only Kanae, but also the former Kocho Shinobu disappeared!

So, at this time, Kocho Shinobu also put on her sister's Kocho haori just like in the original work, and tried to show the same strength as herself in the Demon Slayer animation. This not only means that she has inherited her sister's will, but also means that she has inherited Kocho Shinobu's will.

Don't worry!

Facing her own heart, Shinobu Kocho said:

Since I have inherited your soul and body, I will definitely inherit your will. From now on, I am the Kocho Shinobu of this world, and I will live on in your place. Use your hands to kill all the evil spirits in this world. Because I am you, I am the Kocho Shinobu of this world!

After saying goodbye to her past self, Shinobu Kocho was ready to leave her sister's grave and go to Ubuyashiki Yoshiya's residence to discuss R&D funding. But she had just taken two steps when she saw a figure immersed in sadness. It was a still very thin little girl named Kanao Kurikaraki, an abandoned child adopted by Shinobu Kocho and her sisters.

Because she was abandoned and bullied in her early years, Kanao Kurika had problems expressing her emotions. So when Kanao Kocho's funeral was over, Kanao Kurika couldn't even show a sad expression, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Feeling Kanao's pain, Shinobu Kocho silently walked to her side, gently picked her up, and comforted her softly:

"It's okay, Kanao. It's okay if you don't cry. Just keep your sadness to yourself. I don't think your sister would want to see you in so much pain. So cheer up, we still have to keep fighting as swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps!"

"Shinobu-nee…"

As the person who has the closest relationship with Kocho Shinobu, Kanao Kurihana also naturally felt the changes in Kocho Shinobu. However, she would not have thought that Kocho Shinobu had changed the essence of her soul at this time. She just thought that Kocho Shinobu was too sad about her sister's death, so she subconsciously changed herself.

After accompanying Kanao for a while, Shinobu Kocho left the Butterfly House and participated in the pillar meeting of the Demon Slayer Corps.

This was the highest level meeting of the Demon Slayer Corps. In addition to the leader Ubuyashiki Kōya himself, the top pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps also participated in it. And because of her achievement in killing Douma, Shinobu Kocho also became a new pillar and participated in this meeting for the first time.

Because she was trying to comfort Kanao, Shinobu Kocho arrived late. When she walked into the meeting place, everyone else was already waiting there. However, everyone understood Shinobu Kocho's lateness. Especially when they saw Shinobu Kocho wearing Kanao's butterfly haori, everyone present felt disappointed again.

After Kocho Shinobu sat down and greeted everyone, the meeting of the pillars really began. First, the lord, Ubuyashiki Yoya, praised Kocho Shinobu for her achievement in killing Upper Rank Two and awarded her the title of pillar at this meeting.

As in the original work, the title of the one who is good at the Insect Breathing Technique is "Insect Pillar". However, Shinobu Kocho herself does not like this title. How many girls like to be called insects?

Afterwards, Ubuyashiki Yoya discussed a few small matters with everyone, and then the topic of this meeting became Shinobu Kocho's previous proposal.

“Is it really possible to make hundreds of millions of dollars?”

The first person to ask the question was the Wind Pillar, Fuzugawa Shigeya, who expressed the doubts in the hearts of everyone present. After all, hundreds of millions of dollars is not a small amount of money. Even if the total assets of the Demon Slayer Corps are added together, there may not be so much money. Even many countries' military expenditures are only a few hundred million dollars a year. If there really is $100 million, the Demon Slayer Corps will definitely be able to arm every swordsman to the teeth!

In response, Shinobu Kocho said:

"Actually, $100 million is just a small sum. If I can really perfect and popularize the relevant technology, the average life expectancy of humans in this world will be greatly increased! Because what I want to study is a drug that can effectively treat bacterial infections with few side effects. Its name is penicillin, and it is a widely used antibiotic."

When everyone heard Shinobu Kocho's explanation, they were shocked at first.

Is it really that amazing that it can actually increase the average human lifespan?

But then they were confused again.

What is a bacterial infection? Why can human life span be extended if it can be effectively treated? And what about antibiotics and penicillin? What are these?

Looking at this group of swordsmen from the Demon Slayer Corps who lack scientific literacy, Shinobu Kocho seemed to have returned to the world of Naruto. When facing a group of illiterate ninjas at that time, Uchiha Izumi was as speechless as Shinobu Kocho now.

So Kocho Shinobu had to explain patiently:

"Bacterial infection does not refer to a single disease, but a large number of different diseases caused by various bacterial infections. For example, itching on a wound is actually a bacterial infection. Tuberculosis is also a bacterial infection. In the past, it was a terminal disease that could kill people, but with the antibiotic called penicillin, it can be easily cured."

Originally, everyone had no idea what bacterial infection was. But now, after hearing that Shinobu Kocho's research results could not only treat wound inflammation, but even terminal illnesses like tuberculosis, everyone present immediately realized the value of penicillin. After all, the number of people who die from various bacterial infections every year is not tens of thousands, but millions, or even tens of millions!

If penicillin really has such a huge effect, then its value is definitely not comparable to a mere $100 million!

The Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen present were extremely excited at the thought that the Demon Slayer Corps might have access to important drugs like penicillin.

Because of the increase in wealth, the strength of the Demon Slayer Corps will also surge, and they will have more powerful power to kill evil spirits. Penicillin also plays an important role in the treatment of the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen, and many Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen will survive the brutal battles.

But unlike everyone else's excitement, the lord, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya, was a little worried about the emergence of penicillin. After a little thought, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya realized that the most important place to use penicillin was on the battlefield!

In a harsh battlefield, any wounded soldier may die from wound infection. If there is a special medicine that can cure wound infection, as long as it is produced, it will definitely be the most important strategic material for each country. Therefore, the existence of penicillin can not only cure countless patients, but also make the battlefield more cruel.

Of course, this is not the fault of penicillin, nor is it the fault of Shinobu Kocho. Turning important technology into a weapon of death is ultimately the fault of human beings. So even though there are concerns, Ubuyashiki Yoya is still prepared to support Shinobu Kocho in developing penicillin. After all, compared with the overall lifespan of humans, that little cost is not worth mentioning.

As the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya immediately announced an investment of 100,000 US dollars as the research and development capital for Kocho Shinobu. At the same time, he also planned to mobilize the relationship of the Ubuyashiki family and recruit relevant college students to become Kocho Shinobu's research and development assistants.

After finishing the discussion, Shinobu Kocho asked a new question:

"I have always been curious about why the Ubuyashiki clan has a genetic disease that is passed down from generation to generation, and why do you call it a punishment from God? Also, why did the Ubuyashiki clan give birth to a monster named Muzan Kibutsuji? Is it true that the bloodline of the Ubuyashiki clan is more prone to mutation than that of other humans?"

"My lord, please tell me what the root of all this is!"

In order to find out the reason why evil spirits appear and kill them fundamentally, Shinobu Kocho has already begun to study the root cause of the appearance of evil spirits. She wants to know why the Ubuyashiki clan gave birth to evil spirits, and what the Ubuyashiki clan did to suffer such a painful curse.

Facing Shinobu Kocho's question, Ubuyashiki Yoya did not hide anything. But before explaining, he suddenly recited a poem:

"There is a white jade palace in the sky, with twelve towers and five cities. The immortal touches my head and I am blessed with immortality. Miss Shinobu, do you know this poem?"

"Isn't this a poem by Li Bai? Why are you reciting this poem?" Shinobu Kocho asked puzzledly.

"Li Bai is a talent of a banished immortal, free and unrestrained, and his words are all splendid. He is truly a peerless figure that even heaven does not have. But even such a person left the words 'marrying and enjoying immortality' in his poems. It can be seen that even a free and easy immortal like Li Bai also dreams of immortality." Ubuyashiki Yoya sighed:

"If Li Bai was like this, let alone the ordinary people in this world. Therefore, since ancient times, there are countless people who desire immortality, and our ancestors of the Ubuyashiki clan also conducted various researches for immortality. In the end, we succeeded, but also failed. Because we successfully created an immortal monster, and this monster caused endless killings to this world."

After hearing this, everyone present understood the reason for the incident.

It turns out that the Ubuyashiki clan, in their desire for immortality, actually conducted various experiments on their own family members. As a result of these studies, the family genes of the Ubuyashiki clan mutated, which led to the genetic diseases that were passed down from generation to generation. And it was also because of these gene mutations that the evil demon named Muzan Kibutsuji appeared.

Chapter 126: Demon Slayer Corps in a Foreign Land

Taoshan blocked the Qin emperor’s ship, and the Han Palace held the golden plate all night.

In order to achieve immortality, Qin Shi Huang sent a fleet to the East China Sea to search for immortals, but the giant ship named Mirage disappeared like a nightmare and never returned. Also in order to achieve immortality, Emperor Wu of Han built a terrace in the palace, hoping to obtain the nectar from heaven, but it turned out to be a dream.

Since the birth of human civilization, the fear of death has always lingered in everyone's heart. Anyone with a little power and wealth desires immortality and a lifespan equal to heaven. Even beggars and disabled people who have suffered all kinds of pain, if they have a choice, most of them would like to live in the world and suffer, rather than die early and be free from the world.

It's just that the pursuit of immortality in other worlds is mostly just an empty dream. But the Demon Slayer world is different from other worlds. Perhaps it is the special structure of life that this world actually has immortal creatures.

That's a ghost!

Although they have the weaknesses of eating humans and being afraid of sunlight, the life span of demons is indeed far beyond that of normal humans. For example, the ancestor of demons, Muzan Kibutsuji, has lived for thousands of years. And judging from his posture, it is not a problem for him to live for thousands of years. All of this is caused by the Ubuyashiki clan's pursuit of immortality.

"That's why our Ubuyashiki clan has been cursed with short life for generations, because this is the law of nature punishing us. Birth, aging, sickness and death are the normal state of life. Anyone who dares to challenge the laws of nature will inevitably bear the corresponding price."

Ubuyashiki Yoshiya said this with a very frank tone, without any intention of covering up for the former Ubuyashiki clan, nor did he feel unwilling because of the short life of the Ubuyashiki clan. However, facing Ubuyashiki Yoshiya's explanation, Kocho Shinobu still wondered:

"It's understandable that the Ubuyashiki clan pursues immortality, after all, fear of death is human nature. But what I can't understand is, is it really necessary for the Ubuyashiki clan to use their own blood for experiments? Especially a thousand years ago, when it was still a very primitive society, it would have been the most reasonable approach to capture a few civilians for experiments!"

In response to Kocho Shinobu's question, Ubuyashiki Kayouya just shook his head helplessly and said:

"I have also been puzzled by what you said. After all, the ancestors of our Ubuyashiki clan were not kind people. If they really wanted to conduct experiments, there was no need to use the blood of their own family. With the privileges that the nobles had in that era, killing a few civilians did not cost them anything. I think there must be some unspeakable secret behind the ancestors using their own family members as experimental subjects!"

"As for what the secret is, I'm sorry, Miss Shinobu, I don't know. After all, it happened a thousand years ago, and our Demon Slayer Corps has encountered a lot in these thousand years. There are very few records left from that time. As for the ancestors' pursuit of immortality, I only inferred it from a few fragments."

After hearing Ubuyashiki Kayuya's explanation, Shinobu Kocho nodded slightly. She believed in Ubuyashiki Kayuya. After all, Ubuyashiki Kayuya was not afraid of death and even told her about the family's past scandals. Naturally, there was no need to hide such things from her. It seemed that if she wanted to understand the reason why Muzan Kibutsuji appeared, she still needed to explore it herself.

When the other members of the Demon Slayer Corps heard about the history of the Ubuyashiki clan, they expressed their feelings and raised a question. The most knowledgeable person among the people present, the Rock Pillar Beiming Yuxing, pondered:

"Since the Ubuyashiki clan's research on longevity can turn people into ghosts, will other people's research on longevity also bring about ghost-like monsters? As far as I know, in the western Shenzhou, there seem to be zombies that can resurrect from the dead, and in the farther west, there are vampires that suck the blood of others."

"Are these legendary immortal monsters real, just like the ghosts in our country? After all, these monsters from different regions have similar characteristics to ghosts. For example, they are afraid of sunlight, eat the flesh and blood of others, etc. They are likely to be the sins committed by people in their respective countries in the process of pursuing immortality. They are nature's punishment for human greed!"
