Editing of famous scenes from the anime, including the opening of the Starburst Air Strike

"Even Xiao Jin, who was still in swaddling clothes at the time, has grown up to this size now."

Tanjiro was stunned for a moment... Seeing that his body was still out of control, he finally understood.

It is not him who is sitting here, but his ancestors.

And all this was just the memory left by his ancestors, so he couldn't interfere at all.

Looking at the gentle man in front of him, Ji Guoyuan couldn't help but curl his lips:

"You are doing well, and I am happy too."

“Seeing other people’s happy lives makes me feel the same way.”

Tsugumi Yuichiro slowly looked up at the sky.

“There are many beautiful things in this world.”

"And I think... just being born into this world is happiness enough."

Memories instantly flooded into Yuichiro Tsugikoku's mind.

"My mother is a very devout believer and a very kind and gentle person."

"She prayed every day to make the quarrels disappear from the world and prayed to the sun god to heal my ears which were born with problems."

"He even made me an earring-shaped amulet."

"And I have never liked to talk, which has caused my mother to worry about me. Even now, I always feel guilty towards my mother."

Ji Guoyuan paused for a moment, then continued:

"My brother is also a very gentle and kind guy. He always thinks about me. The day after he was beaten by my father for favoring me, he gave me a wooden flute he made by himself."

"Then...then he smiled at me with his still-swollen face and told me that if I wanted his help, I could blow the flute and he would appear in front of me immediately."

"Later, as a forbidden child, I chose to run away from home after my mother died of illness. But at that time, I did not choose to go to the temple. Instead, I stayed on that land, looking at the stars in the sky. At that time, I thought, I really want to run freely under this sky."

"So...that night, I ran all night without stopping for a moment."

"When I came to my senses, I was already in a paddy field, and there was only one person standing alone near the paddy field."

"It looked like it was a girl about my age, so I walked up to her and asked her what was wrong."

"She told me that her family members had died of illness and she felt very lonely being alone, so she planned to scoop some tadpoles from the paddy field and take them home to raise."

"........."

"But as it got darker, she put the tadpoles back into the water."

"I was very curious at the time and asked slowly, 'Aren't you going to take the tadpoles home?' She just shook her head and said, 'It's so pitiful that they will be separated from their parents like this.'"

"Seeing this scene, I felt very much like the little girl and said, 'Then I will take you home.'"

"She was stunned, and tears flowed from her obsidian eyes."

"And the girl's name is...."

"poetry."

.......................................

"here it is?"

Uzumaki Naruto was very surprised to see the video in front of him changing so quickly. The quiet and peaceful scene now was completely different from the scene just now.

"Could it be... Is this guy named Tanjiro really dead? Could this be the legendary revolving lantern..."

Jiraiya said this in speculation, but was quickly denied by Naruto who was standing beside him and shook his head.

"Oh? Naruto did you find anything?"

"No..."

"But I always feel that this place is definitely not as simple as a dream."

Although it was just based on his intuition, Jiraiya did not disbelieve Naruto. Instead, he nodded slightly.

"Well... let's see what surprises this video brings us."

Chapter 9: The Story of Ji Guoyuan

Tanjiro was listening intently, and gradually he forgot about everything else.

Poetry?

Without waiting for Tanjiro to think, Yunyi continued:

"Shi, she is a girl who talks non-stop from morning to night. In my impression, she always has a bright smile. Thanks to her, I finally understand how huge the difference is between the world I see and that of others."

"And for the first time, I realized where that inexplicable sense of alienation came from. I was like a kite with its string cut off... Under her guidance, I seemed to have gradually found my direction again."

"Ten years later, we finally became husband and wife. I still remember that day, Shi was about to give birth, and I decided to go out and look for the midwife."

"She kept waving at me at the door. I still remember that smile clearly."

"At that time, I was planning to go back before sunset, but on the way I met an old man with a bad heart who was trying to rush to the battlefield to rescue his son. So I sent him to his son. That's why I decided to go find the midwife the next day."

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's expression changed significantly, and sadness appeared on his face. After an unknown amount of time, he continued:

"But at that time, no matter how fast I ran, it was already dark when I got home."

"And when I returned home, I saw... my wife Shi and the baby in her belly had both been murdered."

“Even things that you consider to be more important than your life can still be easily trampled upon by others.”

"I held my wife's body... I sat in front of the house for ten days, until the swordsman who came to chase the ghosts advised me to bury it, and then I came to my senses... My dream is to live a quiet life with my family in a small house, to look up and see the people I love, and to reach out and touch them. However, even such a small dream cannot be realized because of the existence of ghosts in this world."

Ji Guoyuan reached out and touched his Nichirin Sword, then clenched it tightly.

"So... I became a ghost hunter, but these swordsmen who have been fighting ghosts for many years didn't seem to know how to breathe, so I taught them everything I knew. Those ghost hunters, known as the Pillars, were very powerful. After combining the breathing method with the five major sword systems of fire, wind, water, thunder, and rock that they already knew, their combat power became even stronger."

"Gradually, I gained the upper hand in the battle against the demons. Even my brother joined the ranks of the demon hunters after his subordinates were killed."

"Perhaps it was my mission. It didn't take long for me to find the ancestor of the demons. As soon as we met, I realized that I was born into this world just to defeat this man in front of me."

"That man exuded a violent vitality all over his body, trying to devour everything. He then attacked me. Not only was his speed fast, but the range of his attack was also astonishing."

"As soon as I dodged, I heard the sound of bamboo being chopped off behind me. At that moment, I realized that if I was hit once, I might die. This man has five brains and seven hearts. While I was observing him, I also completed my sword skills."

Type 13 Vulcan!

Hearing this, Tanjiro finally came to his senses. He realized that the man in front of him might be talking about the legendary Thirteen Types of Vulcan Sword Skills.

Without waiting for Tanjiro to think, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi continued:

"The man was at a loss when he saw that his body had not regenerated. He used his broken arm to barely support his head which could not be reattached. This shows that even the ancestor of demons can still be effectively affected by the red sword."

Outside the video, everyone was bored...

They didn't expect that while the Demon Slayer Corps members were fighting so fiercely, this man only needed one sword to kill the Demon King. What a weird situation.

Kaneki was walking on the street at this time, looking at the red sword in front of him, and fell into silence unconsciously.

He Dao... He Zi... What a coincidence...

On the other side, Muzan, who was still in the Infinite Castle, couldn't help but clench his fists after seeing this scene, and his teeth were broken with anger.

They actually played the video of him being beaten again. It's so infuriating. Does this UP host have a serious illness? Wasn't it said to be the final battle? Why did he bring up his dark history again?

When Kokushibo saw Tsugakuni Yoriichi, his originally cold and empty eyes suddenly became gloomy, and the knife in his hand trembled unconsciously.

The real identity of Kokushibo is Yoriichi's brother, Iwakatsu Tsugakuin.

How can he remain calm when he sees his brother?

Back to the high-energy review, the story of Yuichiro Tsugikuni continues.

"Actually, I have a question that I've long wanted to hear from him in person, so I asked."

"What do you think of life!"

"But he didn't answer me. Instead, he stared at me fiercely. His face was very ugly, which showed that he didn't listen to my question. So I turned my attention to the female ghost who was traveling with him."

"But I found that she had no intention of rescuing her companions. Instead, she stared at the man I had beheaded. In her eyes, I actually saw a faint glimmer of hope. So I ignored her for the time being and planned to give the man in front of me a fatal blow."

"But just as I was about to finish him off, the man's body exploded in an instant. Facing the more than 1,800 pieces of flesh, I chopped off more than 1,500 of them with my knife, but luckily some of them still escaped."

"The female ghost fell to her knees after howling, muttering, 'It was so close, so close, Muzan Kibutsu, why can't you, a heinous bastard, just die?' She kept pulling her hair."

"When she came to her senses, she found that she had called out his name but did not die. Then, she told me about Muzan non-stop."

"She also said that Muzan might not appear in front of people until I die."

"And I was stunned for a moment, expressing my hope that the girl in front of me could help me kill Muzan."

"She hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed. She told me her name was..."

"Jushi."

"After that, the Demon Slayer Corps members who came hurriedly told me that my brother had turned into a demon. I was kicked out of the Demon Slayer Corps for three crimes: not being able to kill Muzan, and deliberately letting Tamayo go and my brother turn into a demon. At that time, there were even voices in the team asking me to commit suicide to apologize. Fortunately, the lord of the Demon Slayer Corps rescued me, and I was able to walk out of the Demon Slayer Corps alive."

Tanjiro's body moved unconsciously, and he looked at Mr. Yunichi in front of him with a sympathetic expression:

"But, it's obviously not your fault."

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi fell silent, and then he blamed himself deeply:

"I think... I was born into this world in a form far superior to that of an ordinary person just to kill Muzan, but in the end, I failed."

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi lowered his head, a look of self-blame on his face:

"In the future, many people will be killed by ghosts because of my failure... I feel sorry for them."

After hearing this, Tanjiro's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he felt speechless at this moment.

Yuichi Tsugikuni...This man's life was both legendary and tragic. So many things happened to him, but in fact, no matter how powerful he was, he was just an ordinary person.

Tanjiro thought that his ancestor could say something to comfort the man in front of him, but in the end, he just fell into deep silence, even though he really wanted to do something for this scarred man in front of him.

At this moment, the child grabbed Mr. Yunyi's sleeve and asked for a hug.

Tanjiro's ancestor Tanjiro also came to his senses and said:

"Please... please pick the child up. The higher you hold him, the happier he will be."

"Mr. Yunyi just happens to be taller than me...hahahaha."

Yuanyi looked at the child beside him, picked up the child woodenly and held him above his head.

The child...suddenly laughed very happily.

It was just a very everyday thing, but for some reason, Yunyi suddenly froze.

At this moment, tears welled up in his eyes and soon covered Mr. Yunyi's face.

At this time, the wife who rushed back looked at the two people's backs and was a little confused. But when she saw the person kneeling on the ground hugging the child tightly, she recognized him.

It turns out...it was Mr. Yuichi Tsugikoku.

Although she didn't know why Mr. Yunyi was crying, she still went over and touched his head.

"Don't worry...it's going to be okay...everything will be fine."

"I'll go get you a table of food so you can eat your fill. Cheer up."

The Toshiko in front of him revealed a gentle smile, which instantly moved Tanjiro who was standing beside him.

And he shed tears unconsciously.

Perhaps, this kind of life is what Mr. Yuanyi hopes for.

I hope... that Mr. Yunyi, who passed away hundreds of years ago, can get some redemption.

At this moment, Tanjiro couldn't help but think this in his heart.

And the task of killing demons, the task of killing Muzan, let them be the ones to do it.

Having said that, even if Tanjiro wants to leave here, it won't be that easy.

Just like that, in his dream, Tanjiro looked at the man in front of him as the scene played over and over again, and tears fell unconsciously again and again.

"Tsugikoku Yoriichi...Interesting."

Jiraiya sat on a chair, eating ice cream with little Naruto while watching the video in front of them.
