"Tamayo can't be kept. Even though she is our disciple, her research has gone too far and is headed for death. And Shinobu Kocho who has been involved with her recently must die as well." The old man said harshly.
However, the scientist refuted the old man's suggestion:
"According to our observations in the Demon Slayer Corps, Shinobu Kocho is very talented. It would be a pity to kill her. We should let her become one of our members."
"We already have enough members, and the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen are too powerful. Even if we split some of our flesh and blood and enter her body, it will be difficult to control her!" said another member.
"Then beat her up severely and then control her!"
"Well, that's fine, Shinobu Kocho will handle it this way... then what about Tamayo?"
"killed."
"After all, he is our disciple. Do you really want to kill him?"
"Why bother pretending? I am you and you are me. We have long lost our feelings for this disciple, Tamayo. Just kill him!"
Hearing this, everyone present smiled slightly. However, the smiles were uniform, and indescribably evil and strange.
"Okay, that's it."
Seeing that all members agreed to this solution, the meeting ended with the words of Prince Arisugawa. However, after the meeting, a string of flesh and blood tentacles extended from the bodies of everyone present. Those tentacles intertwined in mid-air and transformed into a handsome middle-aged Taoist priest.
Looking at the social elites below who were being hosted by his flesh and blood and thus controlled by him, the Taoist priest smiled and said:
"It's almost there, it's almost there, I will completely control this country soon!"
After saying this, the Taoist looked towards the west, which was the direction of Shenzhou. There, he had his lifelong desire.
"First Emperor, you didn't expect that, did you? After two thousand years, the country you once ruled will now belong to me. From now on, I, Xu Fu, will be the only emperor in the world! I am appointed by heaven, and I will live forever!"
Chapter 131: Shinobu Kocho's Smile
Asakusa, at Miss Tamayo's home.
At this time, Shinobu Kocho was unaware of the malicious intent that was surging in the dark. In the basement of Miss Tamayo's house, Shinobu Kocho was fiddling with the most advanced research equipment of this era, trying to calculate the genetic information sequence of humans and demons in the Demon Slayer world.
The first DNA sequencing in the real world was not done until the 20s, more than half a century after Demon Slayer's timeline. Faced with a technological gap of more than 80 years, even though Shinobu Kocho had more advanced medical knowledge than the real world, the related sequencing work still faced too many difficulties. For this reason, Shinobu Kocho had to use the soul network to connect to the Naruto world, and with the help of the advanced supercomputers in the Naruto world, she barely met the basic requirements of DNA sequencing.
It was also during this concentrated research that Shinobu Kocho and Miss Tamayo became closer. Both of them were the world's top beauties, and their research fields overlapped a lot, so it was easy for them to get together. As a result, Yushiro, the third person in the basement, looked at Shinobu Kocho with hostility, and even his hair turned greener!
Just when Shinobu Kocho and Miss Tamayo once again achieved a breakthrough in their research, Yushiro felt that he had to talk things over with Shinobu Kocho. He needed to make Shinobu Kocho understand her identity and that she couldn't get too close to Miss Tamayo just because she was also a beautiful woman. Even if they were of the same gender, getting too close was not appropriate!
But before Yushiro could finish his words, an uninvited guest came to Miss Tamayo's house. After feeling that the blood demon barrier he had set up was shaken, Yushiro immediately said to Miss Tamayo:
"Ms. Tamayo, it's bad, there are enemies!"
Hearing Yushiro's words, Miss Tamayo nodded slightly. Apparently, after a long period of escape, Miss Tamayo has been able to remain calm in the face of various difficulties. And Kocho Shinobu also put down her research, put on her Nichirin Sword, and prepared for battle:
"I will take care of the enemy, Ms. Tamayo, you and Yushiro go first."
After saying that, he rushed out alone to stop the enemy's attack. Yushiro said to Miss Tamayo:
"Ms. Tamayo, let's go quickly. I can feel that this enemy is not trivial. This is the first time in all these years that I have felt such a terrifying aura. It's like a natural disaster. It's not a force we can handle!"
Hearing Yushiro's words, Miss Tamayo, who was sorting out documents and preparing to evacuate, frowned and said dissatisfiedly:
"Why didn't you tell Miss Shinobu about this?"
"I, this is also..." Yushiro said intermittently.
"Do you want us to abandon Miss Shinobu and escape on our own?"
"Ms. Tamayo, this enemy was most likely led here by that woman from the Demon Slayer Corps."
"Even so, Miss Shinobu's cooperation with us was only with our permission. Now that she is facing an unprecedentedly strong enemy, as her companions, we must not abandon her."
After that, Miss Tamayo ignored Yushiro's dissuasion and came to the ground on her own. Then, in the bright moonlight, Miss Tamayo saw a figure emitting a terrifying aura.
There are six red eyes on his face, and the words "Upper String" and "Ichi" are engraved on the two eyes in the middle. The whole face looks so strange and scary. He is wearing a purple and black kimono and a refreshing ponytail on his head. If it weren't for his face being too scary, this figure would give people the feeling of a traditional swordsman.
"The Upper String One, Kokushibo!"
Seeing the figure opposite her holding a long sword like herself, Shinobu Kocho smiled faintly.
This is a smile of confidence, and also a smile of meeting a worthy opponent.
If it was two years ago when she just traveled through time, Kocho Shinobu would definitely not be a match for Kokushibo. But now Kocho Shinobu has improved and upgraded her breathing method, and her strength is much stronger than two years ago. So now she is very interested in fighting with the strongest of the Twelve Demon Moons to test her own strength.
Of course, Kocho Shinobu was not blindly confident. At this time, in addition to the Sun Blade in her hand, she also had a special ultraviolet lamp on her body. If she really fell into a disadvantage in the battle, Kocho Shinobu could protect herself with the ultraviolet lamp.
Unlike Shinobu Kocho's confidence, Miss Tamayo's soul trembled from the moment she saw Kokushibo. As a friend of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, Miss Tamayo knew what Kokushibo's face meant. This was the strongest power among all the demons, second only to Muzan Kibutsuji!
In the past, Shinobu Kocho had practiced in Miss Tamayo's courtyard. So Miss Tamayo also knew about Shinobu Kocho's strength. It is true that Shinobu Kocho is very strong, and if she encounters other ghosts, she can basically fight.
But the one who appeared here was Upper Rank One, the brother of the legendary swordsman Yoriichi Tsugikuni!
Compared with such opponents, other demons, even upper-level demons, are not of the same dimension.
While Miss Tamayo was worried, a shadow in the woods nearby was secretly observing all this and secretly guessed:
Shinobu Kocho was able to force Upper Rank Two to death two years ago, her strength should not be underestimated. Even if I want to defeat her now, I have to gather several clones.
It's just that my clones are now living in the bodies of social elites, helping me control all aspects of this country, and it's impossible for them to gather together at once. So I can only use this trick to use the power of Upper String One to severely injure Kocho Shinobu!
After Kocho Shinobu is severely injured by Kokushibo, I will take the opportunity to live in Kocho Shinobu's body and control her mind. Then Kocho Shinobu's powerful and intelligent body will belong to me! Hoho...
The shadow was calculating everything in secret with great pride, but Kocho Shinobu and Kokushibo below had no interest in starting a fight right away. Looking at the confident smile on Kocho Shinobu's face, Kokushibo was very surprised and said:
"After all these years, you are the first Demon Slayer swordsman who can still smile when seeing me!"
Shinobu Kocho continued to smile and said:
"I bet I'll be the last Demon Slayer swordsman to smile at you."
"Indeed, other swordsmen would be horrified when they see my face. No one would look at me with a smile like you do."
As Kokushibo spoke, he drew out the terrifying scarlet sword covered with strange eyes from his waist.
"No, I mean..."
At this time, the smile on Shinobu Kocho's face gradually disappeared, and she slowly drew out the Sun Blade at her waist:
"You will die by my sword."
Hearing this, Kokushibo was startled. Shinobu Kocho continued:
"Let me see how much Tsugikuni Yoriichi's elder brother has learned from his younger brother!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Kokushibo's heart instantly lost its peace.
As the older brother of Tsugikoku Yoriichi, Kokushibo has spent his entire life trying to escape from his brother's shadow. Even when he became a demon, his most important reason was to surpass his brother. Now that his biggest secret has been revealed, Kokushibo's eyes are clearly filled with murderous intent as he looks at Shinobu Kocho.
Feeling this killing intent, Miss Tamayo's body trembled subconsciously. Yushiro, who had just come to Miss Tamayo's side, was now full of despair, because his intuition as a ghost told him that he and Miss Tamayo would not be able to escape today. Only after feeling this killing intent, Shinobu Kocho raised her lips slightly, because Shinobu Kocho's plan was successful.
The reason why Shinobu Kocho said so much just now was to influence Kokushibo's mood.
It is important to know that when masters fight, the state of mind is crucial. If you can stay calm throughout the whole process, you can fully exert your strength. However, if your state of mind is affected, or you are angry or afraid, it will affect your strength.
In the original work, Kokushibo's mental quality is not very good. Although he seemed calm in the battle, when he broke through the limit and became ugly, Kokushibo's defense was immediately broken. Even though he was not completely defeated by the Demon Slayer Corps, his body actually disintegrated by itself, which was equivalent to committing suicide after breaking the defense.
It is precisely because of the performance of Kokushibo in the original work that Kocho Shinobu chose to use words as a weapon. The result is obvious. Facing Kokushibo who has lost his absolute calm, Kocho Shinobu has already gained the upper hand in this battle.
Chapter 132: Breathing of the Moon - Type - Tsukuyomi
The cold moonlight shone down from the sky, dyeing the courtyard of Miss Tamayo's house into a cold white. Shinobu Kocho was in such a moonlight, looking at Kokushibo who was holding the long sword tightly across from her, and she also held the Sun Blade tightly in her hand.
The battle is about to break out!
Breathing of the Moon·Pick Up Form·Face-Piercing Slash·Luo Yue!
The first to attack was naturally Kokushibo, who was angered by Kocho Shinobu. With hatred in his heart, Kokushibo used the tenth form of the Moon Breathing Technique. He swung his sword, and the sky was covered with oval saw-shaped sword energy. These sword energies flew in all directions, like a waterfall falling from the sky, attacking Kocho Shinobu unstoppably.
Seeing the power of this sword skill, Miss Tamayo and Yushiro subconsciously closed their eyes, unable to bear to see Shinobu Kocho being torn into pieces. Even the shadow who was secretly observing this thought it was not good, as he seemed to have underestimated the strength of Kokushibo. Although Shinobu Kocho could force Douma, the Upper Rank Two, to death, the gap between the Upper Rank Two and the Upper Rank One seemed to be much greater than imagined!
But while everyone was panicking, Kocho Shinobu didn't show any reaction. Facing the powerful and terrifying sword skills of Kokushibo, Kocho Shinobu just gently waved the Sun Blade in her hand, and the thin flame condensed in front of Kocho Shinobu, turning into a mirror like the scorching sun to protect Kocho Shinobu's body, easily dispelling all of Kokushibo's attacks.
Breathing of the Sun·Shape of Sixteen·Mirror of the True Sutra!
Looking at the mirror that was blocking his attack like the sun, Kokushibo became more and more excited, and snorted coldly:
"It's the Sun Breathing Technique!"
Since Douma was forced to death by Kocho Shinobu two years ago, Muzan Kibutsuji knew that Kocho Shinobu had mastered the Sun Breathing Technique through the induction in the blood. Muzan Kibutsuji was naturally scared to death about this. Especially combined with the fact that Kocho Shinobu forced Douma to kill him, Muzan Kibutsuji has already regarded Kocho Shinobu as his biggest threat now.
In addition, the Demon Slayer Corps recently developed a powerful weapon, the ultraviolet lamp, and updated and strengthened the breathing method. Now Muzan Kibutsuji has been scared by the Demon Slayer Corps and dares not go out. Considering the increasing threat of the Demon Slayer Corps, Muzan Kibutsuji has already booked a boat ticket to the United States and wants to make a living!
Unlike Muzan Kibutsuji who is afraid of death, Kokushibo is very interested in Shinobu Kocho who has mastered the Sun Breathing Technique. After all, Yoriichi Tsugikoku has been dead for hundreds of years, and the only way for Kokushibo to prove that he has surpassed him is to defeat the successor of the Sun Breathing Technique.
For this reason, Kokushibo has been looking for Kocho Shinobu everywhere for the past two years. Until recently, a kind-hearted person reminded him that Kokushibo had found Kocho Shinobu who was working on a research order with Miss Tamayo. He also saw the unprecedented Sun Breathing Technique from her.
"Is it possible that Sun Breathing has such a sword technique?"
After confirming that Kocho Shinobu had mastered the Sun Breathing Technique, Kokushibo was also puzzled by Kocho Shinobu's swordsmanship. After all, Kocho Shinobu's Sun Breathing Technique was mastered through Uchiha Izumi's observation of parallel worlds, and it was the pinnacle of all Sun Breathing Techniques in all parallel worlds.
In the ordinary world, Tsugakuni Yoriichi's Sun Breathing Technique only has thirteen forms, and Kokushibo would never have thought that Kocho Shinobu had just performed sixteen forms of Sun Breathing Technique! After all, with Tsugakuni Yoriichi's strength, there are very few ghosts in the world who can make him perform thirteen forms, not to mention ghosts who can force him to develop the Sun Breathing Technique to sixteen forms!
But from now on, Sun Breathing is Sun Breathing. Feeling the hot breath of Sun Breathing, Kokushibo instantly opened the stripes and the transparent world, allowing his strength to reach its peak at this moment.
The so-called markings refer to a special state. A swordsman who has opened the markings can greatly improve his strength, and the markings will also appear on his body. However, such a powerful power often comes with a price. Therefore, a swordsman who has opened the markings will basically not live beyond the age of 25.
As for the transparent world, it is more like the Byakugan in Demon Slayer World. But compared to the bloodline limit, the transparent world is an ability that everyone can master. As long as the swordsman has trained the breathing method to the extreme, it is possible to open the transparent world.
As a former swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps, Kokushibo naturally possesses these two abilities. And because he is a demon, he does not have to worry about the side effects of the markings. He can use the markings to increase his strength for a long time, and hide his breath through the transparent world to observe any changes in other people's bodies.
So after opening these two abilities at the same time, the aura on Kokushibo suddenly dropped and became barely audible. But the strength he could exert was more than 50% stronger than before.
Feeling the change in Kokushibo's aura, Shinobu Kocho knew that Kokushibo had adjusted his mentality due to the stimulation of the Sun Breathing Technique. At this time, he regarded Shinobu Kocho as a substitute for Tsugikoku Yoriichi and wanted to defeat Shinobu Kocho wholeheartedly to prove that he had surpassed his brother.
But how could Shinobu Kocho let him do what he wanted? While Kokushibo was making changes, Shinobu Kocho also opened up the transparent world and perfectly adjusted her aura. At the same time, the Sun Blade in her hand gradually turned into a red sword because of the operation of the breathing method.
Then, facing Kokushibo who had also adjusted to the peak, Kokoshibo swung the Sun Blade in her hand vigorously, and the overflowing moon-shaped sword energy suddenly attacked Kokushibo, and Kokushibo's calm heart became ups and downs again. It was because what Kokoshibo used at this time was the breathing method created by Kokushibo himself, the Moon Breathing Method!
"You actually used the breathing method I created against me?"
Kokushibo roared in disbelief, and then swung out his long sword, releasing even more violent and dense crescent-shaped sword energy. Kokushibo felt unprecedented humiliation at this moment, and he wanted to chop the Kocho Shinobu, who was showing off her skills in front of an expert, into pieces.
What Kokushibo didn't expect was that facing the creator of the Moon Breathing Technique, Kocho Shinobu actually used her own breathing technique in a new way. Under the attack of the secret barrage of the moon-shaped sword energy, Kocho Shinobu was not in a hurry, but just held the Sun Blade in front of her, and the surroundings suddenly appeared with a pale white moonlight, protecting her.
Breathing of the Moon·Type 18·Tsukuyomi!
The water vapor in the surrounding air condensed into tiny ice crystals under the control of the sword skills, turning into a beautiful shield like moonlight to protect Kocho Shinobu's body. No matter how powerful Kokushibo's sword skills were, those arc-shaped sword energy could not get close to her body. It was as if the legendary Tsukuyomi God had given her protection. At this time, Kocho Shinobu's body was absolutely defensive.
This, is this the Moon Breathing Technique?
Seeing such a beautiful and exquisite breathing method, Kokushibo, the creator of the Moon Breathing Method, was stunned and said in disbelief:
"Impossible, how can Moon Breathing be so powerful?"
"How is it impossible?" Shinobu Kocho chuckled.
"As the saying goes, the sun and the moon alternate, and the stars and constellations are arranged. The sun certainly gives us warmth and sunshine, but the moon is equally important to us. The moon is the barrier of the earth. It is precisely because of its protection in outer space that the world we live in can give birth to life in the dangerous universe."
"The sun and the moon are actually the same level of power! The Sun Breathing Technique is indeed brilliant and can burn all evil spirits; the Moon Breathing Technique can also be used as the strongest shield to protect the most important people. As the creator of the Moon Breathing Technique, do you really think that the moon is just a satellite that reflects the sun's light?"
"If that's all you really think, I'm so disappointed. No wonder you've lived for hundreds of years, but you're still so far away from the former Yoriichi Tsugikoku!"
Chapter 133: Black Death Goes Crazy
Breathing techniques are a weapon, sword skills are a weapon, the Nichirin Sword is a weapon, and speech is also a weapon.
In fact, in terms of pure strength, Kocho Shinobu is not as good as Kokushibo. Even though she now has a lot of high-level breathing techniques, due to the limitations of her body, these breathing techniques cannot exert their original power. So without the ultraviolet light, Kocho Shinobu can only compete with Kokushibo for a short time. It is almost impossible to gain the upper hand.
But the so-called battle has never been a simple contest of strength.
Facing Kokushibo, Shinobu Kocho has been using psychological tactics since the beginning in order to attack Kokushibo's mentality. While comparing Kokushibo with Yoriichi Tsugikoku, she also used the high-level swordsmanship of Moon Breathing, and now with the verbal attack, Kokushibo, who already had a poor psychological quality, was completely broken.
Compared to being defeated by someone using the Sun Breathing Technique, what Kokushibo could not accept more was being defeated by someone using the Moon Breathing Technique he created. Anyone who has experienced this feeling of being easily crushed by someone else in the thing they are best at once will feel deep despair.
Especially for someone as obsessed as Kokushibo, Shinobu Kocho's performance just now proved with ironclad facts that Kokushibo's efforts over the past hundreds of years were all in vain. Not only did he fail to catch up with his brother by relying on time, but even his original possession, the Moon Breathing Technique he created, was easily crushed by others.
"How boring!"
Looking at Kokushibo's face full of self-doubt, Shinobu Kocho continued:
"All swordsmen who practice swordsmanship know the name of Yoriichi Tsugakuni. Hundreds of years ago during the Warring States Period, he was as dazzling as the sun. Even after hundreds of years, we, the latecomers, are still working hard to catch up with the footsteps of our predecessor."
