"Brother, what on earth happened? I only remember that a strange man came to our house, killed mom and everyone else, and then did something strange to me, and then I don't know anything."
Seeing this, Tanjiro also told everything that happened in the past two years. Kanao was also shocked to hear that she had turned into a demon and almost ate people. Thinking of her family except her brother, all of them had been killed by Muzan Kibutsuji, Nezuko's heart was filled with sadness again.
While Tanjiro and his sister were communicating, Shinobu Kocho turned her attention to Nezuko's original body. At this time, Nezuko's body had lost its human side, leaving only the pure animal nature of a demon, so the aura on her body gradually became violent.
Finally, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, her body twisted and changed, and a beast-like roar broke out from her mouth. If it weren't for Shinobu Kocho locking her body with a talisman in advance, Nezuko's body would have become one of the most ferocious evil spirits in the world.
"Is this my side as a ghost?"
Nezuko was surprised to see such a violent monster.
At this time, Urokodaki Sakonji also stepped forward and said:
"Ms. Shinobu, what are you going to do with Nezuko's body? To be honest, the aura of this body is too scary. If you really have to, I think it's better to get rid of it as soon as possible."
After hearing Urokodaki Sakonji's suggestion, Tanjiro's eyes dimmed, but Nezuko began to comfort her brother. Under the gaze of everyone, Shinobu Kocho took out a tube of antibody serum from her arms.
This is the result of Shinobu Kocho's research with Miss Tamayo. In theory, this serum can turn Nezuko's body back into a human one. After becoming a corpse-release fairy, Nezuko can return to her own body and become an important force in the Demon Slayer Corps.
Of course, this is all in theory.
Nezuko's physical condition is too special. Even if the serum can theoretically restore Nezuko's body, the actual result after injection is unknown. If the serum does not work, Nezuko will have to live on other people's bodies like a ghost.
So after the tension and anticipation, Shinobu Kocho injected the tube of serum into Nezuko's body.
Chapter 172 Tokito Muichiro
"Did you fall asleep straight away?"
After Nezuko was injected with the serum, her violent aura gradually subsided, and she fell into an uncontrollable sleep. Tanjiro asked with some concern:
"Shinobu-sister, is Nezuko okay?"
Kocho Shinobu shook her head and said:
"I'm not sure. Nezuko's physical condition is very special, and the antibody serum we developed has not undergone many clinical tests. So it's not surprising what happens after the serum is injected."
As she spoke, Shinobu Kocho was still checking Nezuko's physical condition in detail, and then she said:
"Judging from Nezuko's current condition, the serum should have taken effect and is restraining the demon instincts in Nezuko's body. As for whether Nezuko's body can recover and to what state it can recover, it will take a long time to observe."
"Is that so?"
Tanjiro was obviously disappointed to hear that his sister's body could not recover immediately. Feeling her brother's low mood, Nezuko, as a fairy, comforted Tanjiro in Kanao's body:
"Brother, don't be sad. I am happier than other demons now. At least I haven't committed the sin of cannibalism, and I can still regain my sanity, which is very satisfying. In comparison, brother should take better care of himself. I just felt the memory of Miss Kanao, and the training of the Demon Slayer Corps swordsman must be very hard!"
Hearing that his sister was worried about him, Tanjiro quickly cheered up and patted his chest and said:
"It's okay. I'm your brother and I'm very strong. The training of the Demon Slayer Corps swordsman is nothing."
Shinobu Kocho, who was checking Nezuko's physical condition, was surprised to hear that Nezuko could already sense Kanao's memories:
"Wait, Nezuko, you said you can already sense Kanao's memories?"
"Yes, Shinobu. Although most of the memories are vague, the memory of you teaching Kanao to practice is very deep in Kanao's heart. So I can easily feel this memory, and even some key points of the breathing method can be seen clearly."
Nezuko said this, and Tanjiro said with some concern:
"Shinobu-sister, is Nezuko okay in this state?"
"No problem, of course no problem."
Compared to just now, this time Shinobu Kocho's answer was extremely affirmative.
"I'm just surprised at how well Nezuko has adapted to the corpse-release sen. You know, even after Tamamonomae's corpse-release, it took her two or three months to slowly master the ability to observe other people's memories. Nezuko has just completed her corpse-release, and she has already mastered this ability. If she continues to develop at this speed, it won't be long before Nezuko can master the blood demon art."
"Well, is this a good thing?" Tanjiro asked again.
"Of course it's a good thing." Shinobu Kocho nodded.
"I think that in the near future, Nezuko will also become an important force in the Demon Slayer Corps. Especially after mastering the blood demon technique, Nezuko can greatly enhance the strength of anyone she possesses. And with the help of the possession ability, Nezuko can also play an important role as an intelligence officer."
Hearing this, Nezuko said excitedly:
"That's great. I can help my brother and fight demons with everyone in the future!"
In this way, Kocho Shinobu sealed Nezuko's original body in the tomb, and then left the jade tomb with everyone. After that, Kocho Shinobu first taught Nezuko how to use various blood demon arts, and then began to build a new butterfly house in the narrow fog mountain.
It turns out that ever since the top leaders of the Demon Slayer Corps made the decision to prevent the war by various means, Ubuyashiki Kōya, as the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, has intentionally begun to relocate the various facilities of the Demon Slayer Corps to the deep mountains across the country to avoid attacks on the various facilities of the Demon Slayer Corps by the top leaders in the future.
Among them, the medical facility Chouya, which was originally managed by Shinobu Kocho, is ready to be moved to Sagiri Mountain. So this time, Shinobu Kocho came to Sagiri Mountain not only to deal with Nezuko's affairs, but also to relocate Chouya. In addition to Shinobu Kocho, other pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps also went to various parts of the country to establish branches of the Demon Slayer Corps.
It can be said that the current Demon Slayer Corps has completely become two different organizations compared to the Demon Slayer Corps in the original Demon Slayer. Not only is it stronger and larger in scale, but the evil demons it wants to kill are also more than ten thousand times more powerful than Muzan Kibutsuji. Because what they have to face is a day when they are about to become a demon!
In the following period of time, in addition to fulfilling her duties as a pillar and beheading some extremely powerful demons, Shinobu Kocho devoted most of her time to practicing the Star Breathing Technique. With the help of the deduction ability of the Star Breathing Technique and Uchiha Izumi's observation of a large number of demon slayer parallel worlds, Shinobu Kocho's mastery of the breathing technique became stronger and stronger.
While practicing, Shinobu Kocho also separated Tamamonomae through the technique of beheading three corpses, and let her possess a girl named Kanzaki Aoi in the Butterfly House. With the help of Kanzaki Aoi's body, she healed the injured swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps, and studied the issue of demons with Miss Tamayo in her spare time.
In short, time passed by as Shinobu Kocho was practicing and studying. Winter passed and spring came. The new Butterfly House on Mount Sagiri had been built. Not only were all the facilities basically complete, but the concealment was also stronger. It was also after the Butterfly House was moved that two special guests came to Mount Sagiri.
"Hello, Senior Shinobu. I'm Rengoku Chijuro, whom you met before. I just graduated from elementary school. I came here to learn swordsmanship from you so that I can become a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps in the future and kill evil spirits like my brother and father!"
The first person to greet Shinobu Kocho was Rengoku Kyojuro's younger brother Rengoku Chijuro.
Compared to his domineering father and sunny brother, Rengoku Chijuro gives people a very reserved feeling. While being polite, one can also feel his inferiority complex. After all, he was born in a samurai family, and his father and brother are both top swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps. As their younger brother and son, he is not even of average talent, so it is inevitable to feel inferior under such a huge gap.
In contrast to Rengoku Chijuro, the other boy with a calm expression simply bowed casually and said:
"My name is Tokito Muichiro."
Then he began to stare at the clouds in the sky, as if he didn't care about anything.
It turns out that the people who came to Sagiri Mountain to look for Shinobu Kocho this time were none other than Rengoku Chijuro and Tokito Muichiro, the Kasumi Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps in the original work. Both of them had just graduated from elementary school and wanted to join the Demon Slayer Corps to learn breathing techniques and become swordsmen.
However, one of them is a fool with extremely poor qualifications, while the other is a genius with extremely high qualifications. Ordinary trainers of the Demon Slayer Corps are not qualified to teach them, so Ubuyashiki Kōya arranged for the two to find Shinobu Kocho, the strongest member of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Of course, what Ubuyashiki Yoya really wants Shinobu Kocho to teach is the genius Muichiro Tokito.
After all, judging from talent alone, Tokito Muichiro, as the descendant of Kokushibo, can be said to be the best in the Demon Slayer Corps.
In the original novel, Tokito Muichiro, who was only 14 years old, became a pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps after only two months of training. It is conceivable how terrifying Tokito Muichiro would be at his peak if he continued to grow. Even if he is not as good as Tsugakuni Yoriichi, he has the potential to kill the top three upper rank demons alone.
In contrast, the reason why Rengoku Chijuro, who has very poor talent, is here is purely because the Demon Slayer Corps gives face to the Rengoku family. After all, the Rengoku family has been the Flame Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps for generations, and has made great contributions to the Demon Slayer Corps. Now Rengoku Chijuro wants to become a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps. Even if Chijuro's talent is a mess, the Demon Slayer Corps will let him try to practice under the guidance of Shinobu Kocho.
In short, after meeting the two, Shinobu Kocho already understood the intention of the Demon Slayer Corps, so she accepted the two as students and prepared to teach them to practice. But before that, Shinobu Kocho still wanted to weigh the two of them first. So she found Kanao and Tanjiro and prepared to let them test their levels separately.
After everyone arrived, Kocho Shinobu pointed at Rengoku Chijuro and said to Tanjiro:
"Tanjiro, you should practice with Senjuro first, so I can see his strength. As for Muichiro, leave it to Kanao."
Tanjiro nodded and said yes, then smiled at Chijuro kindly. Relying on his superb personality charm, Chijuro felt relieved when he saw Tanjiro's smile, and felt that he was not as nervous as before.
Kanao also looked at Tokito Muichiro who looked indifferent. With a smile on her face, she felt that she seemed to have found a kindred spirit among the crowd. After all, Tokito Muichiro was also like herself, with defects in emotional expression.
While Kanao was looking at Muichiro, Senjuro had already picked up the wooden sword and bowed to Tanjiro awkwardly, saying:
"Please give me some advice, Tanjiro-senpai!"
As they spoke, the two men swung their wooden swords and began to practice against each other.
Although he just graduated from elementary school, Rengoku Senjuro was born into a samurai family after all. Influenced by his family since childhood, his basic skills in swordsmanship are very solid. In comparison, Tanjiro, who has only practiced swordsmanship for more than a year, is indeed not as good as Senjuro in terms of foundation.
Although Rengoku Senjuro's basic skills are solid, his physical fitness is very weak. Although Tanjiro has not been training for a long time, Senjuro is easily crushed in terms of strength and speed. So once the two fight, Tanjiro has the upper hand.
The wooden sword in Tanjiro's hand was like a blooming flower, and his gorgeous sword skills easily suppressed Rengoku Chijuro on the opposite side. Then there was another snap, and the wooden sword in Rengoku Chijuro's hand was knocked to the ground by Tanjiro.
Is this the end?
After the victory, Tanjiro was obviously a little stunned. After all, he lacked combat experience, and it was the first time for him to fight against an opponent who was weaker than him. It was also the first time for Tanjiro to defeat an opponent in a battle.
In contrast, Chijuro was obviously in a low mood. At this time, he had already sensed that Tanjiro had definitely not practiced the breathing method for more than a year. But even so, the other party easily surpassed himself who had practiced since childhood. It seemed that he really did not have the talent to become a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps!
Seeing this, Shinobu Kocho wanted to comfort him, but Senjuro spoke first:
"I'm sorry, Shinobu-senpai, I disappointed you!"
Kocho Shinobu shook her head, then smiled and comforted:
"Tanjiro is older than you after all, so it's not surprising that you lost to him. Keep working hard in the future!"
Even a young Senjuro knew that this was a comforting statement. Although Senjuro had many faults, he was a strong man. He nodded and looked at the field. After the battle between him and Tanjiro was over, the battle between Tokito Muichiro and Kanao would begin.
Tokito Muichiro picked up the wooden sword dropped by Rengoku Senjuro with an expressionless face, and waved it casually for a few times, and his whole momentum suddenly changed. Just now he was just a child staring at the clouds, but now he has become a fierce swordsman.
Without Chijuro's modesty and politeness, Tokito Muichiro raised his wooden sword and said calmly:
"bring it on!"
Feeling the changes in each other, everyone present was shocked.
At this moment, Tokito Muichiro didn't look like the one whose strength was being tested. From the perspective of momentum, Kanao on the other side looked more like the one being tested.
Kanao was surprised to see Tokito Muichiro like this, but she immediately swung her wooden sword and rushed towards him.
Breathing of Flowers·Type 2·Mikageblossom!
This is the most powerful move in the Flower Breathing Technique that Kanao has mastered. Infected by the aura of Tokito Muichiro, Kanao actually exerted her full strength at the first moment. But what is surprising is that Tokito Muichiro on the opposite side did not dodge or evade such a powerful sword skill, and rushed forward with the wooden sword in his hand, and there was a faint flower shadow around him.
This was the move that Tokito Muichiro performed, and both Kanao and Shinobu Kocho were shocked.
This is, Flower Breathing, Type 2, Mikage Ume!
The blade of Tokito Muichiro carried a faint shadow of plum blossoms, and he easily resolved Kanao's attack. Then, the sword continued to move forward, and he went straight to Kanao's neck. His speed was so fast, and his timing was just right. In the critical situation, Kanao had no time to dodge, and could only watch the opponent's wooden sword stop beside her neck.
Did I lose?
He was defeated by the opponent in one move!
Not only that, he was actually defeated by the opponent using the Flower Breathing Technique that he was good at?
Even though Kanao was a person of low emotion, she widened her eyes and asked in disbelief:
"Do you know the Flower Breathing Technique?"
Tokito Muichiro put away his wooden sword and replied calmly:
"Won't."
"Then how did you perform that sword skill just now?"
"This is the sword technique you just used. I saw it and thought it was good, so I used it."
what?
Hearing this, Tanjiro on the side was also surprised:
"You mean you learned this sword technique after watching Kanao perform it once?"
Tokito Muichiro nodded as if nothing had happened and said:
"Yeah, can't we learn these sword techniques just by watching them once?"
How can it be!
Recalling the pain he had gone through to master the Water Breathing Technique, Tanjiro realized for the first time how big the gap between people was. Could it be that the sword technique that he had risked his life to master was something that could be learned just by looking at it?
Compared to the surprise of Tanjiro and Kanao, Rengoku Chijuro has begun to doubt his life! Because he has been practicing swordsmanship since he was a child, and he has not yet mastered the family's fire breathing method!
He originally thought that his brother's ability to practice the Flame Breathing Technique with the help of the secret book was already a great achievement. He never expected that comparison would kill one, and now there was a monster who could learn it just by reading it once!
Rengoku Chijuro now understands that the gap between people is actually bigger than that between people and dogs!
Chapter 173: Poisonous Chicken Soup Called Naruto
The sword skills that ordinary people have to work hard to master, in the eyes of Tokito Muichiro, have become something that can be learned by watching once. For a trainer, such a talent is like the priceless Heshi Bi, and anyone who sees it will be overjoyed. Even though Kocho Shinobu is not a trainer, she now has a heart of love for talent and wants to polish him into a national treasure.
But just when Shinobu Kocho was thinking about how to fully utilize Tokito Muichiro's talent, another problem appeared in Shinobu Kocho's mind. She looked at Rengoku Chijuro who was looking down with a depressed look on his face, and couldn't help but feel troubled.
Teaching a genius and teaching a fool are completely different in terms of difficulty.
When she teaches Tokito Muichiro, she only needs to teach him all the breathing techniques she has mastered. Shinobu Kocho believes that with Muichiro's talent, he will be able to master a large number of breathing techniques within two years, and even a powerful breathing technique like the Sun Breathing Technique should not be a difficult task for Muichiro. By then, Muichiro will be able to embrace all the possibilities and create his own powerful breathing technique.
But as for Rengoku Chijuro, Shinobu Kocho had no way to deal with him.
After all, he has been practicing swords since he was a child, and his father and brother are both Flame Pillars. With such a background, he has not yet mastered the Flame Breathing Technique, so there is definitely no hope for him to master the more advanced Sun Breathing Technique.
Even if Shinobu Kocho wanted to teach him the breathing technique of Shenzhou Taoism to help him improve his physical fitness, as a commoner, Chishouro knew nothing about Shenzhou culture, and it was unknown how long it would take for him to master the skills of Shenzhou Taoism.
Thinking of this, Butterfly Shinobu couldn't help but fall into distress.
