Uchiha's Blade

After Mana finished speaking, Ubuyashiki Yōya and Teriya both fell silent.

Even a little confused.

I always feel like something is wrong, but nothing seems to be wrong.

But at least they were sure of one thing.

As expected, the battle still needs to be done by professionals.

Ubuyashiki family is definitely not the material for this line of work.

And Mana, as she said herself, in this regard, her ideas are much more flexible than those of the Uyashiki clan.

The so-called profession has specialization.

To a certain extent, it is not surprising at all that Mana, who can transform the water prison technique used to trap enemies and suffocate them to death, into a drum washing machine, would make such a suggestion.

After a while, Ubuya Shiki Yaoya said: "Since the promulgation of the abolition of swords, guns have also been a weapon that the government is very vigilant about. I'm afraid it's not easy to get. And with the ghost's resilience, I'm afraid only special bullets can It’s valid, but…it’s really a train of thought.”

If the hidden troops also have combat effectiveness, even if it doesn't have to be too high, it can still play a very good supporting role for other team members.

Even the weaker ghosts can be dealt with by the hidden troops themselves.

The Demon Slayer Squad's manpower has always been very tight, and it would be good to have even an extra point of combat effectiveness at this time.

Ubuyashiki Yoshiya said: "Mana, please tell me if you have anything like this in the future, whether it's good or bad."

Having said this, he could not help but think of the cruel final selection of the Demon Slayer Corps.

"This is the fault of our Uyashiki clan. We failed to think things through. If we had been earlier... maybe we would have had more power to fight against Muzan."

Zhenna comforted him: "Although your clan is indeed not very good when it comes to fighting, Wumei is not very powerful either. You can definitely be said to be equally matched opponents."

Mana said: "For example, if I were Muzan, then there would be no need to make it so complicated. No matter how well the Ubuyashiki clan hides, they still have to meet the members of the Demon Slayer Corps. Have you ever heard of undercover? Ghosts have a long history. With enough time, Muzan can train a few undercover agents, brainwash them and train them since they were young, and then when they grow up, they can fake the tragedy of "the whole family was massacred by ghosts", and then naturally join the Demon Slayer Corps. Muzan could even deliberately give up a few members of the Twelve Ghost Moons and let the undercovers kill them so that the undercovers could be promoted to pillars. As pillars, they would be able to easily meet the head of the Ubuyashiki family. When the time comes, they suddenly start killing people. Isn’t the problem solved?”

Even because of the long time ghosts have, they can fake their identities to look real.

For example...

'That family has lived here since their grandfather's generation, and they are just ordinary people. '

There is no doubt about this kind of identity for human beings. Counting from the grandfather's generation or even earlier, decades or more are a long time for human beings, but for those who have lived for thousands of years, To put it bluntly, this is nothing at all, right?

As long as he is brainwashed well, he can get an undercover agent who is completely loyal to him.

You can even cultivate a few more.

"If there are a few undercover agents among the nine pillars, the Demon Slayer Squad will definitely be doomed."

"It doesn't matter if someone survives by accident. You can keep one or two undercover agents to hide them. After something happens to the current head of the family, the new successor will inevitably face a situation where no one is available. At this time, there are so many powerful and powerful people. The 'loyal' pillar who has not rebelled has immediately become an important support, right? If this pillar protected him when he was assassinated, it would be even more credible. Following this line, he can lurk and touch To clear up the details of the Demon Slayer Corps, and then completely uproot the remaining ones, it won’t even take 100 years to destroy the Demon Slayer Corps. For Muzan, this little time is not worth mentioning, right?”

Zhenna's tone was relaxed: "Give me a day and I can think of ten similar conspiracies."

Seeing that Uyashiki Yōya and Teriya's expressions were heavy because of these words, Mana quickly added: "But fortunately, fortunately Muzan is a well-matched opponent. It has been 1000 years since he has thought of this. He will think of it later. It’s not very likely.”

Ubuyashiki Yōya said: "Mana, thank you for your comfort. I feel much better."

...In fact, he didn't feel any comfort at all.

But Uyashiki Yoya, who has always been considerate of others, feels Mana's kindness, and he doesn't want Mana to worry about him.

but……

Ubuyashiki Yōya asked: "To say something like this, Mana, your hometown is probably a very cruel place."

Even if Mana says that as a ninja, she is no longer a child as long as she has seen blood, even if she is only 12 years old.

But another implication of this is that even 12-year-old children have to face such cruel requirements. Mana's world must be a crueler place than they originally imagined.

Mana chuckled: "Actually, this is nothing to me. If it were Tobirama-sama, he could think of more!"

However, Senju Tobirama is very dissatisfied with Mana's level of 'conspiracy', so although Mana is a candidate for the Third Hokage, Senju Tobirama has trained several young people and hopes that these people can help Mana in the future. , protect the village together.

After talking to Mana, Ubuyashiki Yōya quickly summoned the pillars back for a meeting.

Generally speaking, the pillars need to hold two pillar meetings every year to exchange information with each other and report the situation to Uyashiki Yoshiya, and also discuss the action plan of the Demon Slayer Team in the next period of time.

It had not been long since the last Hashira meeting. Unless there was something particularly urgent, Ubuyashiki Yōya would never summon the Hashira back again.

Therefore, although they were puzzled by the situation, everyone still dealt with the matters at hand and hurried back.

It was even more tense than when the Zhuhe meeting was held in the past.

There must be something big going on in calling everyone together in such a hurry!

After the pillars rushed back, they found that this time Ubuyashiki Yoshiya came to see everyone. In addition to Ubuyashiki Teriya who was the heir and was still wearing women's clothing, there was also Mana beside him.

Mana, who usually wears the uniform of the Uchiha clan, is wearing the black uniform of the Demon Slayers this time. However, like many team members, she also adds a coat to cover the Demon Slayers when they walk on the street. The team uniform will be too conspicuous, and the loose outer coat can also conceal the nichirin sword worn to a certain extent, so as not to attract attention.

Mana's outer coat is a light green color that is rarely used among the Uchiha clan. Compared with the Uchiha clan, this color is used more among the Senju clan.

That's right, Mana's haori was given to her by Senju Hashirama.

Even though the coat also had a small Uchiha clan emblem embroidered on the back, when he first saw Mana wearing this dress, Uchiha Madara's expression was still so terrifying that his Sharingan popped out.

So Zhenna never wore it again.

However, now, the traditional Uchiha uniforms are not suitable to match the Demon Slayer uniforms, so Mana has no choice but to wear them this way.

Facing the surprised looks in Zhongzhu's eyes, Mana chuckled: "Are you surprised? I can be considered a member of the Demon Slayer Corps now!"

Ubuyashiki Yōya said: "Everyone, I have called you back this time because there are a few things that need to be discussed. But now it seems that you are also very interested in Mana. She is now my student. In addition, about the Demon Slayer Corps She also gave a lot of valuable suggestions on various matters, for which I am very grateful.”

Mana nodded: "Because of Teacher Yaoya's physical condition, in order to prevent him from being too tired, I will explain it to everyone next."

So Mana explained his idea to the pillars one by one, but changed the content about the heavy machine gun into an ordinary gun.

It's hard to get a heavy machine gun or anything like that now, but you can consider ordinary guns. If it's smuggling, there are many people who can get guns these days.

If you want to find connections with the Utsuyashiki family that has been around for thousands of years, you can still find a lot of them.

Compared with guns, the special bullets used are more difficult to develop.

If you want to cause damage to ghosts, ordinary bullets will not work. Only the same material as the Nichirin Sword can be used.

In addition, the gunpowder formula filled in the ammunition also needs to be specially customized.

Ubuyashiki Yoshiya said: "About this, Shinobu, I'm afraid I have to trouble you to go to the swordsmith's village to study with them."

Butterfly Ninja said: "Of course I have no problem, but if I leave, the management of Butterfly House..."

The older girls in the Butterfly House are Kanzaki Aoi and Kurihana Rakana, but even the two of them find it difficult to support the Butterfly House when Shinobi is not around.

Ubuyashiki Yoshiya said: "Mana is very willing to help in this regard."

Mana said: "Although I have no experience in managing Butterfly House, I have experience in participating in the construction of Konoha Hospital. Coupled with my medical ninjutsu, I should be able to help. If there is a more difficult situation that requires Miss Ninja's help, Power, my Flying Thunder God Technique can also notify Miss Nin in time."

Butterfly Ninja said: "If that's the case, then I have no other questions."

Although Mana looks only 12 years old, in fact she is younger than Kurihana Rakana, but in the heart of the Butterfly Ninja, Mana is just like Kasumashira Tokitou Muichiro, a reliable companion.

In fact, Mana's medical ninjutsu helped a lot in Butterfly House before, and Mana was also very handy in dealing with various injuries and emergencies.

...When she encounters a thorn, she can also use her strange strength to punch the person away.

Even if a minor injury is turned into a serious injury, with Mana's medical ninjutsu, it is just a matter of lying in the hospital bed for a few more days, without leaving any sequelae to the other party.

It is not an exaggeration to call him the Demon King of Butterfly House.

After the butterfly ninja finished his question, the person who spoke was someone no one thought of.

Tomioka Giyuu has never been the type to speak actively, but this time, he took the initiative to ask: "Can you give me a little more details about the reform of the final selection? There are several parts that I don't quite understand..."

So everyone was surprised to see Tomioka Yoshiyu discussing with Mana in an attitude that was too enthusiastic for him.

I said more in this short time than Tomioka Yoshiyuki has said at meetings in the past few years combined.

On the contrary, Immortal Kawa Saneya sneered: "You guys who don't even have the consciousness of death, don't participate in the final selection. It's just a joke. Hashira's time is very precious, but now he has to stay on Fujirai Mountain for seven days. Just to be a nanny for those cowards? Hey, are you kidding me!"

Mana frowned, and just as he was about to speak, Tomioka Giyuu spoke: "Mr. Fusugawa, please take back your words, this is too much!"

Immortal Sekawa Saneya looked at him: "What, are you going to teach me a lesson? It's your business if you want to be a nanny, I don't-"

'boom'

Mana slowly retracted his fist and said sincerely to Immortal Sakawa Saneya, who was knocked up the tree: "Mr. Immortal Sikawa, please feel my feelings, I am not kidding!"

Undead Kawa Minya: "..."

Feel the shit!

I almost spit out a mouthful of blood, okay?

But...he wisely kept his mouth shut.

In short, after Mana successfully persuaded the (physics) Immortal Kawa Saneya, the pillars' meeting was able to continue in a harmonious atmosphere.

When he saw Uyashiki Yōya looking at Mana with gratified eyes from time to time, Immortal Kawa Saneya wanted to vomit blood even more.

My lord, you should talk about her!

Feeling the eyes of Immortal Sekawa Saneya, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya said: "Semiya, even if those children choose to give up in the final selection, it does not mean that they are cowards. Everyone has their own way of working hard, not just Fighting ghosts on the front line, the doctors in Fujiya who take care of the team members, and the families who provide financial and material support to the Demon Slayer Corps, they are all working hard to kill the evil ghosts in their own way."

Immortal Sekawa Saneya lowered his head: "Yes, Lord, I understand, and I agree with the reform of the final selection method."

After all the issues were discussed and the charter was worked out, Mana sent Yoshiya Yoshiya back first, and once again used Palm Senjutsu to help him recover before leaving, and planned to go to Butterfly House to discuss the handover with Butterfly Ninja.

But just halfway through, she saw Giyu Tomioka waiting for her under the wisteria flowers that were blooming all year round by the roadside.

"Mr. Tomioka? What's the matter?"

Tomioka Yoshiyuki hummed, but remained silent for a long time.

"Mr. Tomioka?"

It wasn't until Mana couldn't help calling him again that Tomioka Giyu finally spoke: "Thank you, Mana."

"Huh? Why do you say this suddenly?"

Tomioka Giyu said: "Because this is something I should have done, but never did, or even thought about."

"I actually survived like this without doing anything. I'm really..."

Tomioka Giyuu looked at the wisteria flowers falling on the ground and couldn't help but feel that he was really not worthy of being a pillar.

Obviously when he participated in the final selection, he should have understood that the final selection method was unreasonable, but he had never considered this issue in all these years.

Just when Tomioka Giyuu felt frustrated and blamed himself, Mana suddenly stretched out her hand and flicked his forehead.

Mana showed no mercy at all, and the place where she was hit immediately turned red.

Tomioka Giyuu couldn't help but take a step back due to the force, then he covered his forehead and looked at Mana in confusion: "It hurts."

Why are you hitting me!

Mana: "It's good to know that it hurts. What did you say just now? Although I don't understand what happened, your look of despair makes me want to beat you."

"The past cannot be changed. Since it is in the past, you should look forward. Otherwise, you will only cause more and more regrets, and ultimately achieve nothing and become a person who can do nothing but sigh all day long. waste!"

Tomioka Giyu covered his forehead, met Mana's stern eyes, and finally hummed obediently.

He can't do this anymore. Mana is right. It is precisely because he is obsessed with the death of Qiu Usagi that he has accomplished nothing in these years.

But even so...

Even like this, my forehead still hurts QAQ
