From Demon Slayer: Thunder Swordsman

Looking at the plaque of Isshin Dojo hanging above the gate, Kujo Tachibana tightened the long sword in his hand, looking somewhat excited.

I can finally see the style of the swordsmen in this world!

After calming himself down, Kujo Tachibana slowly walked forward and knocked on the wooden door of Isshin Dojo.

...

Looking at the little boy in front of him, who was holding a knife in one hand and a box in the other, Shimotsuki Koshiro asked with some confusion:

"Kid, what can I do for you?"

Kujo Tachibana looked at Koshiro and said sincerely:

"Hello, my name is Kujo Tachibana, are you Master Koshiro? I'm here at Isshin Dojo to learn martial arts from you."

Hearing this, Koshiro asked curiously, "Did you come here alone? Where are your parents?"

"They died when I was very young, killed by pirates." When saying this, Kujo Tachibana looked very calm, not like a child at all.

Koshiro frowned and looked at the little boy in front of him. Although he had some doubts, he still took the initiative to help Kujo Tachibana, picked up the box in his hand, and brought him into the dojo.

However, the weight of this box was indeed beyond Koshiro's expectations.

Of course, it’s not that Koshiro felt the box was heavy, but for a ten-year-old child, the box was indeed a bit heavy.

But looking at Kujo Tachibana, whose face was not red and who was not out of breath, Koshiro nodded secretly. This child has good physical fitness and may become a good swordsman in the future.

Chapter 7: Shocked Koshiro

Because Kujo Tachibana was not like the other children and was not a native of Shimotsuki Village, Koshiro let him live in the dojo.

After settling Kujo Tachibana in the dojo, it was time for dinner.

Koshiro looked at the little boy who was cleaning his room alone and smiled, and said, "Tachibana, can I call you that?"

"Of course, Master Koshiro." Kujo Tachibana nodded and said with a smile.

"Then, Tachibana, can I ask, how did you know about Isshin Dojo?" Koshiro asked curiously. He really didn't understand this question.

You have to know that the disciples in the dojo at that time were all children from the village, and Yixin Dojo was not a famous dojo.

Kujo Tachibana blinked and began to make up a story.

He didn't want to lie to Master Koshiro, but he couldn't tell Koshiro that he had traveled through time, right?

Noticing the boy's embarrassment, Koshiro did not expose him. Koshiro, who was less than 30 years old at the time, smiled and put his arm around Kujo Tachibana's shoulders and said:

"Let's go! It's time to eat. Let me let you taste your master's wife's cooking."

"He seems more cheerful and gentle than Master Koshiro in the anime." Kujo Tachibana thought to himself.

"Please wait a moment, Master Koshiro." Kujo Tachibana opened the box he brought and pushed the box full of Baileys in front of Koshiro.

Jiujo Ju, who has the soul of an adult, feels embarrassed to eat and drink for free and to learn for free here.

Although Koshiro didn't care about the millions of Baileys, he was still a little surprised. How could a little kid have so much money?

Before Koshiro could ask, Kujo Tachibana took the initiative to explain:

"There was a group of human traffickers who wanted to sell me, and then I killed them. The money belonged to them."

"Huh?" Koshiro was stunned. How could a ten-year-old kid say such a thing so calmly? Also, you are not bragging to me, are you sure you can do it?

Looking at Koshiro's suspicious eyes, Kujo Tachibana shrugged his shoulders. His actions spoke louder than words, and he did not make any excuses.

He simply picked up the long sword in the room, which was taller than the others, and quickly walked out of the house.

Then Jiujo Tachibana found a large wooden stake stuck in the ground.

There were shallow knife marks all over the wooden stake. This was the wooden stake that the children used to practice chopping in the dojo. The wood used to make the stake was very hard.

It is impossible for the children in the dojo to split this wooden stake.

No! It should be said that the incision should be made deeper, which is difficult for these children to do.

Kujo Tachibana stood in front of the wooden stake, took a deep breath of air, and drew his sword in the blink of an eye, then sheathed it in an instant. His movements were smooth and fluid, and even in the eyes of Koshiro, there was not a trace of any unnecessary movements.

The round wooden stake with a diameter of more than ten centimeters was split into two pieces by Jiujiaoju in just a moment, and the broken surface was extremely smooth!

"hiss!!"

Shimotsuki Koshiro, with his eyes wide open, took a breath of cold air!

"You are a swordsman and you still want to learn martial arts from a master?" Koshiro shouted silently in his heart.

...

Kujo Tachibana scratched his head, and seeing that Koshiro was reluctant to speak, he asked:

"Master Koshiro, is there a problem?"

Hearing this, Shimotsuki Koshiro, who had become a great swordsman at the age of less than 30, couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Okay! Very good, let's go and eat first!"

Kujo Tachibana looked at Koshiro's back in confusion. Why did he feel that Master Koshiro seemed a little unhappy?

Seeing that Master Koshiro had already walked away, Kujo Tachibana was no longer in a hurry to mention the money. He quickly chased after him and asked:

"Master Koshiro, is there anything wrong with what I did just now?"

"Or is it that my way of exerting force is wrong?"

Don't get me wrong, Kujo Tachibana is asking sincerely and is not being rude.

In his eyes, Koshiro is a man with extremely high attainments in swordsmanship. To him, there should be a huge gap between the two of them in terms of kendo realm.

However, Kujo Tachibana seemed to have overlooked Koshiro's age...

At this time, Koshiro is only less than 30 years old! He is not the Koshiro who appeared in the animation more than 20 years later!

And he himself is only ten years old...

Seeing that Kujo Tachibana looked very serious and didn't seem to be pretending, Koshiro pretended to cough twice to cover up his embarrassment, and then said:

"Eat, let's eat first, we can discuss this issue later."

...

At the dining table, Shimotsuki Koshiro and his wife stopped eating and looked at the boy who was eating too much in front of them in astonishment.

Kozaburo usually lives alone in Shimotsuki Village, so he is not in the dojo at this time.

Kujo Tachibana was lost in thought, still wondering if his sword swing just now could have been more perfect. Even his appetite for food was not as good as before.

He simply ate the food on the table and then hurriedly put down his bowl and chopsticks.

"Master, I'm full."

Hearing this, Koshiro couldn't help but lower his head and look at the empty bowls on the table...

You know, this is his wife. She specially prepared more than a dozen dishes to entertain Kujo Tachibana today! !

This kid ate all of it by himself?

It seems that this little devil's Bailey really needs to be collected...

Can millions of Baileys really cover this kid's meal expenses?

Koshiro was very skeptical about this.

-

Yixin Dojo, backyard.

This is also where Koshiro usually practices. Usually, the children in the dojo practice basic kendo in the front yard.

Koshiro believes in talent and teaching students in accordance with their aptitude.

Koshiro does not have high expectations for ordinary people who lack talent in kendo, even for his future daughter, Kuina.

Of course, this is also human nature. Which master doesn't want his disciples to be gifted?

In fact, Kuina's talent in kendo is already very high, but Koshiro always believes that there is an insurmountable innate gap between women and men.

Looking at Koshiro who was standing casually opposite him, Kujo Tachibana took a deep breath, slowly drew out his sword and attacked.

"Hmm? Very fast!" Koshiro drew out his long sword and raised his hand to block Kujo Tachibana's attack.

"The strength is good too!"

"No, for a ten-year-old, it's pretty good!"

Koshiro thought to himself that at this moment he was becoming more and more satisfied with his disciple Kujo Tachibana.

This is the best disciple to inherit his sword art!

However, as the competition progressed, Koshiro discovered that if he didn't show some real skills, he really would be unable to defeat this kid!

His sword skills are superb, and his body control is perfect! Apart from not having mastered the Armament Haki, he is already a powerful swordsman.

Moreover, Koshiro also discovered that this kid could predict his attacks.

Could it be that... at this time, Koshiro already has his own guess, and has awakened his Observation Haki at such a young age?

This is truly a terrifying swordsman talent that is like a monster...

At this moment, Koshiro seemed to see the future. On this sea, a person like his ancestor Shimotsuki Ryoma was about to be born.

A powerful swordsman standing at the top of this world!

Chapter 8 Three colors of domineering!

After Koshiro confirmed that Kujo Tachibana had demonstrated all his strength, he began to get serious.

One of the twenty-one techniques of the large sword in Koshiro's hand, Wado Ichimonji!

Pointing straight at Kujo Tachibana, the invisible aura from the great swordsman spread all over Jikoshiro's body.

At this moment, in Kujo Tachibana's perception, Master Koshiro no longer seemed like a human being. He seemed like a piece of nothingness, completely integrated into this world.

This gave Kujo Tachibana an illusion. He felt that no matter how he swung his sword, he could not hurt Master Koshiro. Now it was like he was using human power to fight against the natural forces of heaven and earth. But how could human power destroy this world?

The moment the two swords collided, Kujo Tachibana was knocked away. Fortunately, Koshiro used a soft force, and Kujo Tachibana flew more than ten meters before landing safely without suffering any injuries.

Jiujo Ju, who was standing in place, shook his head to dispel the ridiculous thoughts in his mind. Jiujo Ju knew that what had just occurred was just a sensory illusion caused by the huge gap in strength between the two of them.

A normal person, without his keen senses, would not have had that kind of illusion.

And if Koshiro can really achieve that level, he will no longer be a human being, he will be a god!

Although he was easily defeated by Master Koshiro, Kujo Tachibana was still very happy because he saw a different kind of kendo that he had never seen before in this world!

-

As the two men slowly put away their swords, they expressed their doubts to each other.

"Tachibana, have you awakened your Observation Haki?" Koshiro asked curiously.

Afraid that Kujo Tachibana didn't know what Observation Haki was, Koshiro began to explain the three colors of Haki in detail.

"Observation Haki is one of the three ultimate powers that humans in this world possess."

"In addition to the observation Haki, the other two Haki are the armament Haki and the king Haki."

"People who have awakened their Observation Haki will strengthen their five senses and make them more acute, so that they can perceive information about the creatures around them and use it to predict and avoid danger. Some powerful Observation Haki can even foresee the future."

When he heard this, Jiujo Tachibana frowned, but did not ask any questions.

The detection function of Observation Haki is similar to Kenshin's Tomoyuki, except that Observation Haki is still based on the five senses.

The sword's clear mind is his sixth sense.

Comparing the two, Jiujo Tachibana thinks.

Kenshin Tongming just observes more carefully, like a microscope.

In terms of range, Kenshin Tongming cannot compare to high-level Observation Haki, let alone the top-level Observation Haki.

If we talk about who in the world of pirates has cultivated the most advanced observation Haki, Kujo Tachibana thinks that person must be Fujitora!

This future admiral of the navy, after blinding himself, practiced Observation Haki for twenty years and was able to sense meteorites in the starry sky!

Then, using the power of the fruit, he was able to pull down the meteorite. Although top-level warriors could avoid the attack of the meteorite in advance, the damage was really at the level of a natural disaster!

If the awakening of Observation Haki depends on talent, Kujo Tachibana thinks that his powerful and sharp sensory system should be top-notch, right?

But why hasn't he awakened his Observation Haki yet? Does it mean that there is some special method required to activate his Observation Haki?
