Uchiha's Blade

Zhenna happily returned with Hei Shimo's knife.

While staying up late to deal with Heishimou's knife, Mana even hummed a tune happily,

Black Death Mou is awesome!

He is the best stringer in the world!

After staying up for most of the night, dealing with Black Death Mou's Sword 2.0, and checking the progress of today's shadow clone body research, Mana finally went to rest.

Then she woke up energetic early the next morning and split into two more shadow clones. One went to Butterfly House and the other went to the research room. After that, Mana flew to Raijin to find Ubuya Shiki Yoshiya.

Generally speaking, in order to protect the specific location of the Ubuyashiki clan from being known by ghosts, even if Hashira wants to see them, he needs to explain it in advance, but because Mana's Flying Thunder God Technique is more reliable than any confidentiality measures, There was no possibility of being followed or monitored, so it was very convenient for her to go to Ubuyashiki Yoshiya.

Ubuyashiki Yoshiya is also very happy to see her. Although sometimes Mana's words will always reveal some bloody truths to him, which is as painful to him as the final selection system issues, but Ubuyashiki Yoshiya is very willing. From what he heard, he was not someone who was unwilling to listen to advice or admit his mistakes in order to preserve his image as a wise man.

But it was really too early for Mana to come today.

Ubuyashiki Yōya had even just prepared to have breakfast.

Fortunately, he didn't mind Zhenna's presumptuous interruption early in the morning: "Has Zhenna had breakfast? If not, let's go together."

The eldest daughter of the Ubuyashiki family quickly helped Mana arrange a pair of dishes and chopsticks: "Please sit down."

Mana thanked her and then said: "Sorry, Teacher Yoya, it's just that I got a very important piece of information, so I couldn't wait. I almost came here last night."

Ubuyashiki Yōya's wife Ubuyashiki Amane said: "If it's not an urgent matter, just finish eating first. Mana, you must not have had a good rest last night."

"okay."

So they all ate the breakfast prepared by Uyashiki Amane.

During this period, there was more Mana, and Mana's appetite was never very small. He ate as much as two girls from the Uyashiki family, so Uyashiki Amane took her daughter to the kitchen and cooked more.

After filling her stomach, Zhenna felt a little embarrassed: "I seem to be too rude, but Tianyin's craftsmanship is really great and delicious!"

Ubuyashiki Amane smiled softly: "No, it's great if you like it. Thanks to you, my husband also ate more today."

Ubuya Shiki Yaoya's health is not good, and his appetite is naturally not much better. He doesn't eat much on weekdays.

Mana chuckled: "I do feel better when you say that."

Ninja girls don't care how much they eat. How can they eat enough to exercise if they eat less?Even if it is to refine more chakra, the strength of the body cannot be too bad.

After breakfast, Uyashiki Amane and her two older daughters cleared the table and served tea. After that, the girls left first.

Ubuyashiki Teruya said: "Father, I also resigned."

Ubuyashiki Yōya nodded: "Thank you for your hard work during this period."

These days, the children of the Uyashiki family have been reading the historical records of the Demon Slayers every day, picking out the suspicious records, and comparing and verifying them again. They have to stay up late almost every day.

Ubuyashiki Yōya also wrote to the Purgatory Family, who had been members of the Demon Slayer Corps for generations, asking if he could borrow records from their family.

The ghosts may deliberately tamper with the records of the Demon Slayers, but they may not pay that much attention to the records of the Purgatory family.

At present, the records circulated by the Purgatory Family may be more authentic and credible than those of the Demon Slayer Corps.

After everyone else left, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya said: "Mana, the information that makes you care so much shouldn't be a trivial matter, right? Tell me about it."

Mana nodded: "This is very special information. Does Teacher Yoya know about the 'Blue Higanbana'?"

"Blue Higan flower?" Ubuyashiki Yōya thought and shook his head: "I have never heard of such a thing."

Everyone knows the flower of the other side, but generally speaking, most of the flower of the other side is red.

Although there are other colors, I have neither heard of nor seen the blue Higan flower.

Zhenna said: "Wuxian is looking for something called the 'Blue Flower of the Other Side', and has been looking for it for thousands of years. According to what you once said, Wuxian turned into a ghost a thousand years ago, so it should have been not long after he became a ghost." Then I started looking for the blue Hibiscus flower.”

After searching for more than 1000 years, he still hasn’t given up, which shows Wuhan’s obsession with the blue Hibiscus flower.

"This must be something very important to Wu Mei, and judging from the time, it is likely to be the key to him becoming a ghost."

Ubuyashiki Yoshiya said: "You are saying that this may be a special 'weapon', it may make Muzan stronger, or it may be something that can actually kill him, so Muzan must find it." .”

Mana said: "Both are possible, but I'm more inclined to think that it can make Muzan stronger."

After sorting out his thoughts for a while, Mana said: "Mumei is not afraid of things that can kill him. In other words, if this is just a legendary weapon that can kill him, the Demon Slayer Corps doesn't know 'Cyan' In the presence of Higanbana, Wu Kai doesn't have to worry too much. The sun can kill him, and the Nichirin Sword can also cause harm to him, but Wu Kai doesn't seem to have spent too much thought on these aspects."

Materials are needed to make the Nichirin Sword. Mukai has lived for more than 1000 years, and he can cultivate forces to control politics. If the upper echelons of the country have his puppets, he will have many ways to make the Demon Slayer illegal, and many reasons. Encircle the location of the materials for making Nichirin Swords, such as the Orangutan Crimson Sand Iron, and make them state-owned, and the Demon Slayers are not allowed to occupy them.

If humans want to kill ghosts, other than waiting for the sun to rise, the only thing humans can rely on is the Nichirin Sword. Without the Nichirin Sword, how can the Demon Slayer Team rely on to kill evil spirits?

Zhenna said: "In terms of interests, don't have any expectations from those powerful people. Just like I have never had any expectations for the daimyo. If a person holds supreme power for a lifetime, he will be old, sick and about to die in the end. At this time, Wumei told him that as long as he becomes a ghost, he can have an endless lifespan and a strong body, but he can't bask in the sun and needs to feed on humans. Do you think those who have been completely intoxicated in the pleasure of power? How many high-ranking officials and nobles who have never cared about the lives and deaths of the lower class people in their lives can resist such a temptation? And once they turn into ghosts, everything about them will be controlled by Wuxian. If Wuxian was more patient, , there were so many chaotic years in history, he could cultivate forces loyal to him behind his back. Ghosts could not appear during the day, but it was no problem to conduct night attacks. Which human army could withstand hundreds or thousands of ghosts? The offensive of the army formed by the army? Wumei doesn't even need to turn his spokesperson into a ghost, because some identities are easier for humans to use. He only needs to brainwash those children since they were young, and they will naturally regard Wumei as a god. Worship and revere…”

Even a human with no special abilities can fool a group of guys into treating him as a true god as long as he speaks sharply and knows how to deceive. What's more, Wu Mei does have power that far exceeds that of humans.

As long as Fan Wuxian pays a little attention, a thousand years will be enough for the Demon Slayer Corps to be wiped out hundreds of times.

Zhenai Balabala said a lot, and finally concluded: "In short, Wuhan has not done these things for so many years. There are only two possibilities. One is that his IQ is indeed low enough, so he cannot think of it and cannot play with power calmly. The other is One is that he doesn’t care about these at all, and he has more important pursuits.”

"The blue Higan flower," Ubuyashiki Yoshiya said: "If this is the case, then the blue Higan flower must be something that can make Muzan so powerful that he is not afraid of any power."

Ubuyashiki Yōya's heart became heavy: "This information has never been recorded in the Demon Slayer Corps for thousands of years. Mana, how did you know about it?"

Zhenna said: "Yesterday I calculated that Hei Shimo should have a new knife, so I planned to steal it again. After all, there is only one knife, so I have to use it sparingly. It is not convenient to do a lot of research. , so I just..."

"Wait a minute," Ubuyashiki Yoshiya said, "Are you looking for Hei Shimu again?"

Mana blinked: "Yes, I need to research materials."

"Mana!"

Ubuyashiki Yōya's tone was stern: "That's one of the upper strings. How could you - how could you just go to him by yourself? What should you do if an accident happens?"

Zhenna said: "I know the Flying Thunder God Technique. It's no problem to run away. It's actually safer to go alone."

Ubuyashiki Yoshiya said: "The Flying Thunder God's Technique is indeed very powerful, but you don't know if there are other ghosts around Hei Shimo, and you don't know what the other ghosts' abilities are. You also said before that there should be another one. As a ghost with the space blood ghost technique, what should you do if that ghost's ability can trap you?"

Zhenna said: "If that's the case, I have to reveal all my cards."

Mangekyō Sharingan, Senjutsu, Yin Seal, Wood Release Chakra, etc... there is always a chance.

Ubuyashiki Yaoya knew that she had always had big ideas and couldn't control her at all: "You can't do this again in the future. It's too dangerous. If you want to see Heishimou again, you must get my permission!"

"But……"

"Mana!" Ubuyashiki Yoshiya said: "I regard the members of the Demon Slayer Corps as precious as my own children, and I also regard you as my child. I know that you are very strong, perhaps better than all of us. People think more powerfully, but that doesn’t mean I’m not worried about you, not to mention your value is far more important than strength.”

What Mana has is a completely different way of thinking from the Demon Slayer Squad. They look at problems from completely different angles, which allows Mana to often discover blind spots in their work and make very important suggestions.

Mana said: "But Teacher Yaoya also wants to kill Muzan, right?"

Ubuyashiki Yoshiya said: "Killing Muzan is my long-cherished wish, but if there is no other choice, I don't want any child to sacrifice for it."

Mana tilted her head and looked at him. Uyashiki Yōya's eyes were as gentle as ever. Even the anger at this moment came from his worry for her.

"...I understand, I will tell you next time."

Ubuyashiki Yoshiya said: "Then let's do it. Don't leave Fujirai Mountain casually during this period. After you have been there once, if Wuhan is prepared, a trap may be set for you."

Mana thought about it and said it was right.

No matter how confident she is, of course she can't use something like the Mangekyou Sharingan that has side effects.

It is true that she has almost never used the Mangekyo Sharingan since time travel.

Without using the Mangekyou Sharingan, it would be really troublesome if Muzan really set an ambush for her.

So Zhenna obediently admitted her mistake: "I will definitely discuss it with you before taking any action."

Ubuyashiki Yōya nodded: "Mana, you have great power, and occasionally you are impulsive. It will not have any impact on you, because most of the time you are able to solve the troubles caused by impulsiveness, and you are able to shoulder your own responsibilities." Responsibility, but as a leader, sometimes your actions do not only require you to bear the responsibility and consequences. You are the brain of an organization, and this is something that affects the whole body."

Zhenna said: "I understand, I can't just regard myself as a warrior who charges into battle, I also want to be a marshal who strategizes, is that true?"

Ubuyashiki Yoya showed a soft smile: "You understand quickly."

Mana said: "I'm sorry, Teacher Yoya, I know I did something wrong this time."

Yoya Uyashiki touched her head gently: "Don't say that, everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Didn't I also make a lot of mistakes? Mana, you are still young, impulsive and make some mistakes. This is normal. What's more? You did not cause too serious consequences this time, and you even brought back very important information. You have done your best."

Mana nodded: "Thank you, Teacher Yoya."

But she knew very well in her heart that if her goal was to become a qualified Hokage, a Hokage who could truly open up an unprecedented path to peace, then what she was doing now was completely unqualified.

Mana's gratitude to Uyashiki Yōya came from the bottom of her heart, because what Uyashiki Yōya taught her was knowledge that neither Senju Tobirama nor Senju Hashirama had ever taught her and could never teach her.

Because they were born as ninjas, machines of war and tools of killing.

They were never raised as peaceful leaders.

Ubuyashiki Yoya saw Mana looking very depressed, so he changed the subject: "Actually, I originally planned to ask Teriya to go to your place later today."

Zhenna was curious: "Is there something wrong?"

Uyashiki Yōya said: "The Hidden Force came last night to report that the general plan for the school and training ground has been completed, and the main focus is currently on building accommodation. After all, the trainers are coming soon, but You still need to confirm at the training ground. The Demon Slayer Corps has never done this type of construction before, so you still need to decide on the detailed requirements."

Zhenna nodded: "No problem, leave it to me!"

After saying this, she looked at Uyashiki Yaoya's slightly tired look and said, "Teacher Yaoya, you should also pay attention to rest. You must stay up late every day during this period. Did you take the medicine I gave you on time?"

Ubuya Shiki Yoshiya said: "I have taken the medicine and it is very effective. Usually if I go to bed too late, I will definitely feel unsustainable the next day, but today I am in good spirits."

Mana said: "You have to continue taking the medicine. In addition, your vitality is lost much faster than ordinary people. The same is true for Teriya. This may be the reason why almost no one in the Ubuyashiki family has lived past the age of 30. I will try to find out. The solution is, don’t do everything yourself. Even if you don’t care about your own body, think about your children. They are still young and need enough sleep time.”

While eating before, Mana noticed that the girls from the Ubuyashiki family also had obvious tiredness in their eyes.

"Actually, a lot of work can be assigned to the pillars," Mana said: "Currently, the pillars seem to be only responsible for combat-related matters. Except that their combat effectiveness is stronger than ordinary team members, I don't see anything special. In a place like this, it would be more appropriate to call them 'special team members' rather than 'Zhu'. Since they are 'Zhus', you should rely more on them."

The Hashiras of the Demon Slayer Squad are completely different from the ninjas Mana has seen before.

They are all people with strong strength and noble character. They are kind-hearted, hate evil, and have selfless dedication. Even the most irritable and difficult-to-get-to-get-together Fengzhu Immortal Kawai Saniya will protect him. Other players would rather leave themselves scarred.

Ubuyashiki Yoshiya said: "Those children have already paid too much to kill evil spirits. There is very little I can do for them. I can only try to prevent them from being distracted by additional things."

Zhenna disagreed with this: "You just told me about your responsibility as a leader. In my opinion, the so-called leader is actually the core. The most important thing is the power to bring everyone together and the ability to point out the way forward. You have said before that the way to contribute to slaying demons is not only to pick up the Nichirin Sword and fight demons, but also to provide financial support to the demon slaying team, and to treat injured team members carefully. Doctors, detectives of ghost intelligence and responsible for dealing with hidden dangers on the battlefield. All of them are contributing in their own way. Why do you say that doing other work is an unnecessary distraction? I don’t think so. If it is The pillars cannot truly understand what kind of organization the Demon Slayer Corps is, how it is structured, and how it operates. If they do not have a strategic vision and only look at the problem from the perspective of a warrior, then they will never be able to become a true pillar. Changed his name to 'Special Team'."

Every ninja grew up from the lowest level of genin, and every ninja who later shouldered important responsibilities had the experience of being a jounin.

Isn't it a waste to let the village's top fighting jounin lead the novice genin to do low-level D-level or C-level tasks every day?

No, it was never a waste.

If this is true for a ninja, let alone the Pillar of the Demon Slayer Squad?

However, when talking about this, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya showed an embarrassed look: "Mana, it's not that I don't want to do this, but most of the pillars... are not suitable for this type of work."

"Eh?"

Ubuyashiki Yōya coughed dryly: "Most of the members of the Demon Slayer Corps are from ordinary families and do not have much education experience, so..."

So even Zhu may be illiterate.

Of course, it's impossible for someone who can make a pillar to be truly illiterate.

But it is true to say that the cultural level is not high...

"Actually, most of the team members' literacy work was taught by the trainers when they were learning breathing techniques."

You must at least be able to write your own name and be able to read simple task records, right?

Mana: "...It's my fault."

Judging from the fact that you have never considered killing ghosts scientifically for so many years, I should have thought that your demon slayer team is not educated at all!

After a long silence, Zhenna said dryly: "Well, regarding the new school... let's add some cultural classes."

Ubuyashiki Yōya: "...Yeah."
