Uchiha's Blade

After killing the nightmare, the first thing Mana did was to lie down on the ground and start searching carefully.

"We have to look for Wuhan's flesh and blood."

After all, it was made of the same shell material as the Nichirin Sword. Even Muzan couldn't ignore this kind of damage. Mana's Sharingan clearly saw that he was injured.

The Sharingan's dynamic vision is extremely powerful. Even under machine gun fire, if you really look hard enough, you can still distinguish the trajectory of the bullet.

After extracting a small amount of Wuhan flesh and blood, Zhenna successively collected some others, including of course those from Tong Mo and Yi Wo Zuo.

As the lower string, Tired's strength was far inferior to that of the upper string, so he was injured the most, but Mana was not very interested in him.

...With such a good material library for the upper string, who would care about the lower string.

It wasn't until Mana had sealed all the collected flesh and blood that Tamashi spoke: "Ms. Mana, after watching the battle just now, what I don't understand is why the Demon Slayer Squad came to me to cooperate?"

No matter what the reason is, one of the unchangeable facts is that Tamashi is a ghost, and the Demon Slayers are ghost hunters who hate ghosts. They are mortal enemies.

If the Demon Slayer Corps is at a disadvantage at this time and is in urgent need of help, they may seek the power of Tamashi for help in despair and powerlessness.

But... at least the battle just now made Zhu Shi understand that when using firearms, even ordinary people who don't use breathing techniques and don't know sword skills have the power to fight the ghosts of the lower string and even the upper string.

Why does such a demon slaying team need to cooperate with ghosts?

Zhenna said: "You can never have too many friends. I came to you with two considerations. If you are a man-eating evil ghost, then I will kill you no matter what, but if you are not such an evil ghost, we Of course, we can talk about cooperation. The Demon Slayer Corps is not lacking in strength now, maybe it seems that way to you, but for me, having the Demon Slayer Corps at this level is far from enough."

Mana's purpose has never been to simply kill Muzan.

The goal of 'killing Wuhan' is a bit too unrealistic for her.

For Mana, Demon Slayer is the soil for her growth and an opportunity for her to practice.

Now that we have encountered such a special world, we go back to our hometown in despair without learning anything. How can this be worthy of Tobirama-sama’s many years of teaching!

Of course, after learning, she needs to practice. She can try it with the Demon Slayer Squad, and then return to her hometown with more mature and complete experience.

Of course, this is not without its benefits for the Demon Slayer Squad.

Mana truly felt that, based on the cultural level of the Demon Slayers, if Muhan died and the Demon Slayers' goals ceased to exist, then they would probably have to live as ordinary people.

It’s just a low-level soldier. For Zhu’s fighting ability, such a life is too wasteful, right?

It just so happens that Mana needs someone to go to the ninja world to help her, and it would be nice to have the pillars there.

Mana knew very well that when she asked for Uyashiki Teruya, Uyashiki Yōya already understood this.

At that moment, Mana revealed to Uyashiki Yōya the price she really wanted.

What she really wants is to take possession of the entire Demon Slayer Squad.

No matter how useful Teriya is, he can only do civilian work. The world of ninjas also pays attention to strength. Teriya is not strong enough. At most, he can be a consultant to Mana. He really wants to be her helper, deal with ninjas, and deal with some more serious problems. For specific matters, you must have strong strength to make capital.

So she wanted the Demon Slayers, a complete and powerful Demon Slayers.

This is not a surprising answer.

Ubuyashiki Yōya understands this.

Zhenna did not grow up in a completely peaceful environment, and the people who taught her had experienced countless bloody storms.

So no matter how much Mana seems to crave peace, she is a very aggressive and aggressive person.

Since you have the opportunity to take over the Demon Slayer Squad, why not do it?

But for the Uyashiki clan, their purpose is just to kill Muzan. After Muzan's death, if there is a team member who is unwilling to put down his sword and wants to find other ways out, Mana is indeed a good choice.

So Uyashiki Yōya agreed to Mana's request.

If she wants Teriya, then give her Teriya.

This may be more beneficial to Mana's control of the Demon Slayer Corps, but on the other hand, Teriya's existence is also the Uyashiki family's protection for the team members.

At this time, facing Zhu Shi's question, Manai's answer was very candid: "Muhan must die. The only difference is whether he dies today or tomorrow. Maybe for you, Wuhan's death is the end of everything, but for me Say, that’s just the beginning.”

"So the Demon Slayer Corps is really short of people now, especially people like you."

Zhu Shi looks very cultured.

Zhu Shidao: "Miss Zhenna, I agree to cooperate with you."

Zhenna was stunned: "I haven't even officially started to persuade you."

Zhu Shi smiled softly and said: "It doesn't have to be so complicated. For me, as long as I can kill Wu Mei, then I have no reason to refuse. And you have proven this enough."

Muzan, who was armed with two upper strings and two lower strings, did not have the courage to take the initiative to kill Mana, but tried to negotiate with her. This is enough to illustrate Mana's strength.

Zhenna laughed: "Then, tell me about your situation in detail. You look different from ordinary ghosts."

Although the battle scene looked fierce, they actually did not engage in a very destructive battle. The only thing that was more conspicuous was that Tongmo released a water lily Bodhisattva, but Tongmo ran away after releasing it, so Miss Zhushi 's home was saved.

At Tamashi's invitation, Mana and Enichi Tsukuni went to her house for tea.

During the chat, Mana learned that Miss Tamashii had escaped from Mukai's control, and at the same time, she was also looking for a way to turn ghosts back into humans.

Transforming from a human to a ghost is essentially a physical change. Ms. Zhu Shi believes that this has something in common with the physical changes that occur in humans due to disease.

Since it is a disease, there must be a cure. For hundreds of years, Miss Zhushi has been looking for a way to turn ghosts back into humans.

Although Miss Zhushi turned into a ghost voluntarily, it was because Wuhan deceived her.

Hundreds of years ago, Miss Juyo, who was terminally ill, felt painful at the thought of not being able to watch her children grow up. At this time, Mukai appeared in front of her and told her that as long as she turned into a ghost, her disease would be cured. Healed by medicine and gained long life at the same time.

Miss Zhuyo, who is full of attachment to her children and husband, is willing to become a ghost.

But Wu Mei did not tell Miss Zhu Shi that after becoming a ghost, he would eat people, and he might even be irrational at first.

Zhu Shi, who turned into a ghost, could not control himself and was controlled by the instinct of ghosts to eat people, so she killed her husband and children.

Later, after she gradually regained her rationality, there was not a day that went by that Zhushi didn't feel painful about this incident.

After a period of self-destruction, Zhu Shi understood that although she could kill someone or use sunlight to commit suicide, it was not enough. Zhu Shi deeply hated Wuxian who deceived her and caused all this tragedy.

But Wu Mei was so powerful that Zhu Shi couldn't take revenge. Fortunately, Wu Mei took a fancy to her medical skills, so he took her with him. Zhu Shi stayed by Wu Mei's side, waiting and looking for opportunities for revenge. .

During the Warring States Period, she thought she saw hope.

A powerful ghost hunter named Jiguo Enichi came to Muzan. Muzan's power was unable to resist him. His strength was as if he was born in this world just to kill Muzan.

But in the end, even if Ji Guoyuan tried his best, Wu Mei still escaped. He split himself into more than 800 pieces, and Ji Guoyuan had time to destroy more than 500 of them. Although the remaining parts Although he was young, Wu Ke still survived with his strong regeneration ability.

It was at that time that Miss Zhushi broke away from Wu Mei's control.

For hundreds of years, she worked hard to kill Wuhan.

The experience she had with Wu Mei gave her a lot of valuable information about Wu Mei.

While she was researching ways to turn ghosts back into humans, Miss Tamashii accidentally mastered the method of turning people into ghosts.

Of course, unlike Mumei, who is full of malice, Miss Zhushi will only make such a proposal to those who are terminally ill and have no hope of cure, and will definitely inform the other person of the consequences of turning into a ghost, and then the other person will make their own choice.

This is why Yushiro was turned into a ghost by Miss Tamashi.

"Although I haven't found a way to turn a ghost back into a human, I have found a way to live without eating people even as a ghost."

Tamashi said to Mana: "Both Yushiro and I are ghosts who don't eat people. We can survive as long as we rely on a little human blood."

Zhenna said: "Is this method only effective for ghosts transformed by you, or is it effective for all ghosts?"

"what do you mean……"

Zhenna explained: "That's right, if they have just transformed into ghosts and haven't had time to eat people, if your method is effective, then there is no need to kill them, right?"

Mana doesn't care much about killing people if necessary.

To be able to become a ninja, she already had enough blood on her hands.

But if it is not necessary, she is not willing to cause more killings to innocent people who can still be saved.

Senju Hashirama's thoughts really affected her.

Zhu Shidao: "I myself am a ghost transformed by Wu Kai, but I have transformed myself, so if there are ghosts who haven't had time to eat people, I should be able to help."

Hearing this, Mana breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's the best thing to do."

With a way to prevent ghosts from eating people, there is no need to be too anxious about transforming from ghosts into humans.

Mana reached out to Tamashi: "Then, if there are no other problems, we have reached an agreement to cooperate."

Zhuyo asked: "Is it really okay to make such a hasty decision? The Demon Slayer Corps... probably won't accept me so easily."

"What does it have to do with the Demon Slayer Corps?" Mana said: "I am not officially a member of the Demon Slayer Corps. My relationship with the Demon Slayer Corps is only that the current leader of the Demon Slayer Corps is my teacher."

Mana has always called Ubuyashiki Yōya 'teacher' instead of 'lord'.

She is not considered Uyashiki Yōya's subordinate, so naturally she doesn't care so much about the Demon Slayer Squad's attitude.

"The relationship between me and the Demon Slayer Corps is also a cooperative relationship where everyone gets what he needs," Mana said: "You are my collaborator. Whether the Demon Slayer Corps is willing to accept you is not the first thing I need to consider."

The person who needs to think about this is Ubuyashiki Yoshiya.

Moreover……

"So what if they don't accept you? It's not like you want to join the Demon Slayer Corps."

Tamashii is very smart, and she heard Mana's meaning from this sentence: "In other words, compared to the Demon Slayer Squad, you actually need me more."

Zhenna spread his hands: "There is no way. I can only rely on my shadow clone to do research now, and I can't spare any more time. But there are still a lot of things I have to do, so I spend all my time in the laboratory. How can it be done?"

The pillars' chakra courses were not complicated. After completing the study of the Three Body Technique, Mana just planned to teach another psychic technique and that would be it.

Of course, if they need some kind of ninjutsu to cooperate with the battle, they can also learn one or two more.

Overall, it's not too onerous a task.

Mana knew from the beginning that people in this world were not used to chakra, but now they have Enichi Tsukuni!

There is no chakra in this world, but there is breathing method!There are stripes!There is a transparent world!

Judging from the contact with Enichi Tsukuni these days, Mana doubts that he might have been comparable to Kage in his heyday.

...Of course, this Kage level does not include levels like Senju Hashirama or Uchiha Madara.

After completing the improvement of the pillars' strength, Mana also had to think about his own affairs.

There is always no way to really kill Muzan or something... This is impossible no matter how you think about it, right?

It’s time to find a solution to the space-based blood ghost technique.

In the entire Demon Slayer camp, Mana is probably the only person who can study the restraint of space-based abilities.

After discussing the cooperation with Tamashi, Mana planned to return to Fujisaki Mountain to explain the situation to Ubuyashiki Yōya.

There must be many members of the Demon Slayer Corps who cannot accept the matter of cooperating with ghosts, and Ubuyashiki Yōya will need to convince them one by one.

Although Mana said that he didn't need to care about their attitudes, not caring didn't mean turning friendship into hostility. If it turned into hostility, how would he be able to recruit people from the Demon Slayer Corps in the future?

Tsukuni Enichi was a little worried: "Mana, are you really okay? The Demon Slayers may not easily accept your proposal."

When it comes to the bottom line of the Demon Slayer Corps, Tsukikuni Enichi knows it better than anyone else.

The reason why he was expelled from the Demon Slayer Squad back then was not only because he failed to kill Muzan and his brother turned into a ghost, but also because he let go of Tamashi who was a ghost.

Not killing Tamashi was something the Demon Slayer Squad couldn't accept.

Zhenna said: "The times and the environment we are facing are different now. Besides, for me, this time is actually a good opportunity."

Jiguo Yuanyi was a little confused: "Opportunity?"

"An opportunity that allows me to see everyone clearly," Mana didn't hide anything when facing Enichi Tsukuni: "I once told Teacher Yoya that the responsibility of pillars should never be just as a force in battle. If you only know how to use brute force, then there is no need to call them pillars. It is more appropriate to call them special team members. Since they are called pillars, they should have a more far-reaching vision. To put it simply, you can't do things based on your likes and dislikes, but you should also know how to do things. Weighing the overall situation and the gains and losses of interests, the latter is the person I want."

Mana has no shortage of thugs.

What she wants is someone who can get things done.

"So, the way to deal with Miss Zhu Shi is the test question that the pillars will face this time."

Zhenna smiled and said: "They all thought that I would not give test questions until the end of the special training to judge whether their special training was effective, but... the choices made when knowing that it was an assessment cannot represent their true level. .”

So from the beginning, she was prepared for such a test.

If it’s not Zhushi, it could be someone else. Choosing Zhushi is just a matter of time.

Originally, this special training for the pillars was not just to improve their personal strength.

Mana's answer made Tsukuni Enichi silent for a long time, and then he looked at her with a rather magical look.

Mana smiled and said: "Are you surprised? I would actually consider such a thing?"

Ji Guoyuan nodded.

He is a simple warrior. Even if he wants to kill Wuhan, he just picks up the sword and has never considered such complicated issues.

Zhenna said: "This is the responsibility. They should seek their own policies in their positions. Teacher Yaoya pampered them too much before, and actually let them not use their brains to think about these things."

Just like ordinary ninjas, they don't need to consider these issues, but Mana's goal is Hokage, a Hokage who inherits the will of her ancestors and opens up a path to peace, so she must learn to think about these issues.

With a confused expression on his face, Tsukikuni Enichi was taken to the Thunder God by Mana in a daze.

The day after returning to the Demon Slayer Corps, Mana went to Ubuyashiki Yōya to explain the situation.

Ubuyashiki Yōya fully agrees with her plan.

...It's really time for the pillars to learn how to grow snacks.

The Demon Slayer Corps is not just the Demon Slayer Corps of the Uyashiki clan. If his long-cherished wish to kill Muzan can really come true in his generation, Uyashiki Yōya feels he has the responsibility to be responsible for the future of the team members.

They will always have their own lives in the future.

And it's not a bad thing to have more brains.

but……

Ubuyashiki Yoshiya said: "If this matter is to be used as an assessment, it cannot be made by me."

There was a look of helplessness on his face: "Those children are always too considerate of me. If I say it, even if they are dissatisfied, I'm afraid they won't object fiercely."

If that's the case, wouldn't it be no different from the previous practice?

Teriyaki said: "Then let me explain it to everyone on behalf of my father."

Mana looked at him unexpectedly: "Teri?"

Teriya said: "From my father's point of view, everyone may force themselves to do this, but this matter is very important and cannot be decided by Mana at will. Otherwise, it will intensify the conflict between other team members and her, and even some Team members with aggressive attitudes may develop hostile feelings."

Ubuyashiki Yōya nodded: "That's true."

Teriya continued: "Furthermore, even if the conditions for cooperation were reached by Mana and Miss Tamashii, the Demon Slayer Corps is also the beneficiary of this matter. We must have our own attitude, so from my point of view, Everyone should understand that my father also agrees with this matter, but at the same time, my prestige is far less than yours. If the team members have objections or fierce words, it may be easier for me to speak out."

Only by letting them speak out can we persuade them, rather than letting them reluctantly cooperate with dissatisfaction, which is likely to cause an accident at a critical moment.

Teriya met Mana's gaze and nodded slightly: "Mana, leave this matter to me."

Zhenna looked surprised: "Yeah, I'll leave it to you!"

Damn it! I heard you right, Huili! You are so useful!

But the mood of Heishimou in Infinite City is completely opposite to Mana's.

In the empty room, the figure of Hei Shimo's child seemed even smaller.

He was holding the knife and sitting in the middle of the room, his back lonely and his heart heavy.

A set of women's kimonos lying on the ground next to him added a bit of sadness to him.
