However, after thinking for a while, Shinobu Kocho suddenly thought of the Naruto world she had experienced before, and suddenly an idea came to her mind. She said to Rengoku Chijuro:

"Senjuro, do you know how to perform the first move of the Flame Breathing Technique?"

At this moment, Chijuro obviously realized that even Kocho Shinobu couldn't do anything to his talent. So he raised his head nervously and said tremblingly:

"I know, but I just can't use it."

"That's good to know. I've already figured out the focus of your future training, which is to practice the first form of the Flame Breathing Technique, Shiranui! In the future, in addition to teaching you the Dao-style breathing technique that will improve your physical fitness, you only need to practice this one move. You don't need to practice anything else."

Facing such a dull-witted Rengoku Chijuro, this is the only solution Shinobu Kocho has.

Don't practice any other sword skills, just practice this one move.

Even if you have mastered this move, only practice this move.

This is the only way for Rengoku Senjuro. Just like Agatsuma Zenitsu in the original work, with a breathing method, he is not afraid of fighting in the world.

"Ah?" Rengoku Chijuro was obviously a little confused and asked in confusion:

"I only practiced one breathing technique. Will it not be enough when I encounter a strong enemy in the future?"

Shinobu Kocho was speechless after hearing this.

With your strength, you still want to face a strong enemy?

If you really face a strong enemy, I only have one suggestion for you, that is to run! Saving your life is the most important thing!

But Shinobu Kocho would not say this directly, as words too bluntly could cause great harm to the child.

So Shinobu Kocho said very tactfully:

"Senjuro, did you know that there was a boy like you in the ninja world? He also dreamed of becoming a master who killed evil spirits. But in terms of talent, he was not as good as you. But surprisingly, he succeeded in the end. Not only did he kill the evil spirit named Kaguya, he also became the strongest in their ninja village. Do you know how he did it?"

After all, Rengoku Chijuro was a simple child, who had just graduated from elementary school and didn't have much brains. He couldn't tell that Kocho Shinobu was making up a story. He just felt that the boy that Kocho Shinobu was talking about was too inspiring and too much to his liking.

A person with less talent than himself actually became the strongest ninja and killed the strongest evil spirit.

When he thought of the existence of such a senior, he immediately asked:

"Shinobi-senpai, who is this ninja-senpai you are talking about? How did he do it?"

Who is this senior? I want to know too!

Because what I just said was all made up based on the plot of Naruto!

So in response to Senjuro's question, Shinobu Kocho had no choice but to give Senjuro some chicken soup based on the general plot of Naruto.

"That ninja boy is called Uzumaki Naruto, and he lives in a mysterious ninja village called Konoha. Not only has he been an orphan since childhood, but he has also been ostracized by the villagers. But he has never given up on his dream and has been working hard all the time..."

For Shinobu Kocho, who merged her soul with Uchiha Izumi, the essence of the story of Naruto is very clear. In the original work, the reason why Uzumaki Naruto was able to become Hokage had nothing to do with his efforts. It was purely because of his noble bloodline that he had more chakra than ordinary people.

For this reason, Shinobu Kocho had to change many plots and try to transform the poisonous chicken soup called Naruto into real chicken soup. She weakened the bloodline inheritance of Uzumaki Naruto and emphasized that the fundamental reason why the opponent was so strong was that the opponent could roll meatballs!

According to Shinobu Kocho, the reason why Uzumaki Naruto became stronger was because of making balls.

As the strongest ninja, the only skill Uzumaki Naruto masters is making balls.

No matter how strong the opponent is, he can only roll the balls.

But just relying on this one trick of rolling balls, he managed to defeat many powerful enemies and became Hokage.

In short, the reason why Uzumaki Naruto was able to become Hokage was because he practiced the move of rolling balls unremittingly! He focused on one move and practiced this move of rolling balls to perfection, to the point where no one could stop him. It had nothing to do with his father being Hokage and himself being the reincarnation of Ashura.

After Shinobu Kocho finished telling the story of Naruto, Rengoku Chijuro immediately shouted:

"Uzumaki Naruto is amazing!"

Obviously, he didn't realize that Uzumaki Naruto's bloodline was the most powerful, and was completely fooled by Shinobu Kocho.

"I want to be like Uzumaki Naruto, and practice a move until I'm perfect, master it, and even master it to perfection. By then, I will definitely be able to become a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps!"

After saying this, he became excited and found a cool place to practice.

And just now, Rengoku Chijuro was not the only one beside Shinobu Kocho. When Shinobu Kocho was telling stories and giving her chicken soup, out of curiosity, Tokito Muichiro, Kanao and Tanjiro all walked over to Shinobu Kocho and listened to her story.

It must be said that the story of Naruto was indeed fascinating, and several people listened very carefully. But unlike Rengoku Chijuro, Tanjiro frowned and said after listening to the story:

"Why do I always feel that this story is weird? Did Uzumaki Naruto really become Hokage by practicing making balls?"

Then, Kanao also said:

"Shinobu-sister, I noticed that your mouth was making lies when you were talking just now."

Relying on her own super vision, Kanao actually saw from the movement of Kocho Shinobu's mouth that Kocho Shinobu was fooling people. However, she just pointed it out. In her eyes, Sister Shinobu must have her own intentions in doing this, and she didn't need to say anything.

As a genius, Tokito Muichiro saw the essence of the Naruto story at a glance.

"The reason why Uzumaki Naruto became stronger has nothing to do with his balls. He relied on his father and bloodline."

With no expression on his face, Tokito Muichiro calmly analyzed:

"He became a ninja because of his good physique, not because he worked hard enough. He became a disciple of Kakashi and Jiraiya because he is the son of the Fourth Hokage, not because of his ability."

"In my opinion, Uzumaki Naruto is a loser. He has never really worked hard, because a person who really works hard will never be the last one in the class no matter how bad his grades are. He has also never really understood others, because people who really understand others will not always force their good friends to return to the village."

"And he didn't really become the Hokage, because most of the things in Konoha have nothing to do with him. His existence is no different from the Nine-Tails. The difference is that Konoha used ninjutsu to seal the Nine-Tails before, while he was sealed by the empty title of Hokage."

At this time, Tokito Muichiro has not yet come out of the shadow of his heart, so his words are very straightforward and hurtful. But at the same time, he also said:

"But I think this story is very good. Because it explains the reality of this world. Only the son of the Hokage can become the Hokage, and the sons of us commoners can only become commoners. Hard work will not achieve anything, and achievements are often unrelated to hard work. This world has always been like this."

He then looked at Chijuro who was practicing alone in the distance and said:

"People without talent are deceived by such false stories of struggle and do meaningless things. In fact, this is also good. At least he will not be decadent or waste his life casually, because he still has something to do."

"As for slaying the demons, leave it to those of us with talent!"

His words were very realistic and cold, but Shinobu Kocho could also feel the care and compassion in his words. After all, he was the pillar in the original work of the Demon Slayer Corps. Even if his words were hurtful, he was still a good person in essence.

Because you have talent, you take risks. Because others don't have talent, they should be protected.

Tokito Muichiro does not want untalented people to die in order to slay evil spirits, and he also believes that the danger should be borne by talented people.

He believes that talented people should protect those without talent.

Looking at Rengoku Chijuro and Tokito Muichiro like this, Shinobu Kocho really felt that these two people were complete opposites.

One is extremely talented, the other is not; one is full of dreams, the other is based on reality.

But even so, the two still have a lot in common. They both have justice in their hearts, both want to kill evil spirits, and don't want innocent people to die. This compassion is exactly what the swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps needs most.

"Senior Shinobu, can you tell me how I should practice next?" Tokito Muichiro asked again.

Butterfly Shinobu said:

"In the next period of time, you will mainly follow me to learn breathing techniques. Including the Star Breathing Technique that I just perfected not long ago, I will teach you all 37 breathing techniques that I have mastered. In addition to breathing techniques, I will also teach you the Taoism of Shenzhou Daomen and Abe Haruaki's Yin-Yang Jutsu as much as possible."

Hearing that Kocho Shinobu was going to teach him so many things, Tokito Muichiro's face was obviously filled with an excited smile. But then Kocho Shinobu said:

"But I have to remind you beforehand. Although I will teach you a lot, these are ultimately other people's things, not yours, Tokito Muichiro. I know you are a genius, so I hope that as a genius, you can defend your pride as a genius with your actions and create a breathing method that belongs to you, Tokito Muichiro!"

Hearing Shinobu Kocho's expectations for him, Tokito Muichiro nodded heavily.

Then, Kocho Shinobu asked again:

"There is one more thing. Whether it is the Star Breathing Method, the Shenzhou Dao Sect's skills, or the Yin-Yang Technique, if you want to learn it, you need to master a lot of Shenzhou culture. This is completely different from other breathing methods. You need to be mentally prepared before learning."

Tokito Muichiro nodded and said:

"I'm not afraid of studying. When I was in primary school, I could finish most of the books for a semester in just one week. When I graduated, I got full marks in Chinese, mathematics, history and geography."

I'm going, is it true?

You are not only talented in swordsmanship, but you are also good at studying?

Isn't God too fond of you?

Tokito Muichiro said again:

"Also, because I heard in advance that I would be learning the Star Breathing Method, I started to learn about Shenzhou when I was in school. Now I have memorized more than half of Shenzhou's Kangxi Dictionary. I have also memorized the entire Book of Changes. I have also memorized the names and positions of the Three Yuans, Four Symbols, and Twenty-Eight Mansions, as well as the locations of various acupuncture points on the human body."

"However, since all this knowledge is in the Shenzhou language, I don't quite understand the meaning of many of the technical terms. But now with Senior Shinobu's guidance, I think I should be able to master all the knowledge required for the Star Breathing Technique very quickly!"

Tokito Muichiro's eyes were still calm, and he didn't realize how shocking the facts he was telling were. Originally, Shinobu Kocho thought that by teaching Shenzhou culture, she could extend the time of teaching Tokito Muichiro. But she didn't expect that he didn't need her to teach him too much in Shenzhou culture.

Is this true genius?

In the following time, Shinobu Kocho naturally taught the two of them step by step.

For Rengoku Senjuro, Kocho Shinobu's teaching method was very simple. He spent most of the day practicing the first move of the Flame Breathing Method, Shiranui. After more than three months of hard work, and the breathing technique taught by Kocho Shinobu, Senjuro finally barely mastered this breathing method.

He was delighted by this and felt that his efforts had paid off.

In order to be as strong as his idol Uzumaki Naruto, he practiced this move even harder.

Seeing how hard he was trying, Shinobu Kocho felt a little guilty.

Is the effect of this bowl of poisonous chicken soup too strong?

As for Tokito Muichiro, his teaching was much more difficult. It took Shinobu Kocho three months to finally teach him the introductory exercises of the Taiqing School Louguan Dao and the five basic breathing methods. To be honest, this speed is amazing for ordinary people, but it is too slow for Tokito Muichiro.

However, this was also intentional by Shinobu Kocho. Shinobu Kocho deliberately slowed down her teaching progress in order to suppress Tokito Muichiro's growth. After all, no matter how talented Tokito Muichiro is, he is only a thirteen-year-old child, one year younger than Tanjiro. Shinobu Kocho doesn't want such a young child to become a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps and engage in such a dangerous job.

Chapter 174 The Roots of World War

More than a year later in the summer, Shinobu Kocho once again came to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters in the Kanto region.

It was almost midsummer, and even at night it was hot as a steamer. The moon was high in the sky, and the sound of cicadas chirping could be heard from time to time.

Wearing the Demon Slayer Corps uniform was already too hot, and wearing a butterfly haori on the body, it was naturally uncomfortable to dress like this in the summer. As Shinobu Kocho walked along, her inner clothes were soaked with sweat and stuck to her body. Especially the two big burdens on her chest, not only were they wet and stuck to her shirt, but they were also shaking, making her feel uncomfortable all over.

But even so, Shinobu Kocho had no intention of complaining about the weather. At this moment, her mind was full of other things.

It turns out that after accepting Tokito Muichiro and Rengoku Senjuro as her disciples, Shinobu Kocho stayed in Sagariyama for a long time, managing the affairs of the Kochoya while teaching Tanjiro and others the breathing method. In the final trial not long ago, all of them except Senjuro passed the trial and became qualified swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps.

At this time, they were also slaying demons in various places just like in the original work. The difference was that Tokito Muichiro killed the Lower String Five in Nadagumo Mountain, so he was promoted to the pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps soon after becoming a swordsman.

At this time when the Demon Slayer Corps was becoming increasingly powerful, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya once again convened the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps and started this month's pillar meeting. With the convening of this pillar meeting, Shinobu Kocho had a feeling that Ubuyashiki Yoshiya might take action against the royal family who were living a simple life! Therefore, Shinobu Kocho kept deducing the future direction in her mind:

Is the Demon Slayer Corps really preparing to take action against the top leaders headed by the royal family?

If so, how to deal with the royal family?

How much strength would be needed to deal with the royal family?

It should be noted that most of the royal family members who lived in the Imperial Palace lived in the Imperial Palace, which was guarded by a large number of troops. The layout of the Imperial Palace was also based on Yin-Yang magic, and the blood ghost magic was almost useless inside. Even the most powerful ghosts would have their combat power greatly reduced in the Imperial Palace. This is why Xu Fu, who obviously has the ability to possess, cannot possess the contemporary Tianhuang.

In general, the royal family is in an absolutely safe place. Unless a big country sends a million troops to kill all the defense forces of Izumo Province with absolute force, there is no one who can harm the emperor. Even if powerful evil spirits like Li Shimin and Judas are resurrected.

Moreover, even if the Demon Slayer Corps really killed the prince, could they really stop the war with Shenzhou?

With all kinds of doubts, Shinobu Kocho arrived at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, and saw Tokito Muichiro, who had just become a pillar, waiting for her. After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Gyoumei Hiei, Fushigawa Saneya, Rengoku Kyojuro, and Tomioka Giyuu also arrived one by one. Looking at the people in a hurry, Shinobu Kocho knew that they were just like her and guessed the purpose of this pillar meeting.

After all, it was not like the in-depth relationship in the original work. Each of the Demon Slayer Corps pillars in this world was stationed in a different area, and the relationship between them could only be considered as colleagues. After greeting each other, everyone sat in the prepared meeting room, preparing for this meeting.

Without waiting for long, Ubuyashiki Yoya came to the conference room with the support of his wife Ubuyashiki Amane.

Shinobu Kocho looked over and saw a large piece of deformed tissue similar to a tumor on Ubuyashiki Yoshiya's forehead. It seemed that due to the blood curse of the Ubuyashiki family, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya's life had entered a countdown. Judging from the fact that the deformed tissue could spread here in just half a year, Shinobu Kocho speculated that Ubuyashiki Yoshiya's life span would not exceed two years.

However, despite this, Ubuyashiki Yoya's spirit is still good. After all, the deformity of Ubuyashiki Yoya's body is a disease similar to hemangioma. Compared with the hot weather, the severe low temperature is the enemy that Ubuyashiki Yoya fears the most.

In addition, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya's work is now much less busy than before. The two tasks that he was originally responsible for, the assignment of the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps and the intelligence analysis of various regions, have now been handed over to his wife and children. He himself has focused all his energy on thinking about the future of the country.

He doesn't need to worry about so many complicated tasks, which is probably why his spirit is much better than in the original book.

With the help of his wife, Ubuyashiki Yoya walked to the center of the crowd, gestured slightly, and sat down. Due to the rules of the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki Amane was very worried about her husband's health. After giving a few words of advice to everyone, she reluctantly left the meeting room.

At this moment in the room, all nine pillars in the original work were present.

At the beginning of the meeting, Ubuyashiki Yoya first thanked everyone for their hard work and thanked the Demon Slayer Corps for their hard work over the years. Then, he congratulated Tokito Muichiro on becoming a pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps. Seeing this, everyone also congratulated the young Tokito Muichiro one by one, and for a moment, the meeting room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

After the greetings, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya's face suddenly became serious. Everyone knew that he was going to talk about something important, so they all concentrated and did not dare to be negligent. Then they heard Ubuyashiki Yoshiya say:

"I think you all know that our current Emperor Tian Locust drinks red wine and eats beef all day long. He suffers from severe fatty liver and has not much time left. I think it won't be long before Emperor Tian Locust passes away, and the only one who will inherit his throne will be his eldest son, Prince Arisugawamiya."

Prince Arisugawa is the royal prince that Xu Fu is possessing now. The reason why Xu Fu possessed this prince is that he valued his status as the first heir. Once the current Heavenly Locust dies, this thousand-year-old ghost will be able to openly become a Heavenly Locust and start a war with Shenzhou.

Now everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps knew that Prince Arisugawa was possessed by Xu Fu. So when everyone heard that a demon was going to become the leader of their country, all the pillars present changed their expressions, because this was too absurd!

However, what everyone present did not expect was yet to come. They heard Ubuyashiki Yoshiya say:

"I think everyone here knows the true identity of Prince Arisugawa. But what you may not know is that not long ago, Prince Arisugawa actually contacted us in the name of the royal family, hoping that our Demon Slayer Corps would secretly sneak into the Imperial Palace to kill the evil spirits."

Hearing this, even Kocho Shinobu sneered:
