I teach kendo in the ninja world

"Oh, I was careless..."

Araki opened his eyes, rubbed his head, and muttered softly.

But then, his expression became a little solemn.

"Although I was fighting just now with the idea of ​​seeing more and seeing new tricks, at the last moment, even with my eyes buried, I could feel that Tanjiro's aura had undergone earth-shaking changes at that moment. This is the real reason why my sword failed to kill."

The sure-kill sword had clearly struck, but it failed to kill the person, which was why he was killed while holding his sister in his arms.

In order to verify the guess in his heart, Araki once again entered the consciousness space.

It's still a familiar process, with bits and pieces of golden light gathering and taking shape.

This time, after summoning the Tanjiro brothers and sisters, Araki didn't hold back.

Although Tanjiro, who possesses [Transparency to the World], is not inferior to Araki in terms of moves and reactions, but relying solely on the explosive power provided by the breath of water, he was quickly suppressed by Araki's speed advantage.

After a period of fighting, Tanjiro, who was injured in many places and looked slightly embarrassed, finally entered the second stage.

When he took another deep breath, the color of the Nichirin Sword was no longer as clear and translucent blue as water, but as bright red as the sun!

Tanjiro finally used the most powerful breathing method he had mastered, the God of Fire Kagura, or in other words, Breath of the Sun!

The breath of the sun is the source and originator of all breathing methods, so it is also called the initial breath.

Created by Jiguoyuanyi.

Tsukuni Enichi is the strongest swordsman in the world of Demon Slayer.

Almost all the techniques that the later Demon Slayers mastered were created by him.

He was born with the ability to use the breathing method and [Transparent World], and his talent and attainments in swordsmanship were also extremely high.

He can single-handedly drive the Ghost King in his heyday, Muzan Onimu Tsuji, into a desperate situation.

In terms of combat power, it is even stronger than the entire Demon Slayer Corps put together during the Tanjiro era!

After all, when they fought against the Ghost King, it was a disaster. In the end, they had to use medicine to weaken the opponent before they could barely win.

The other breathing methods in the later period were all derivative techniques developed by people who were not qualified to master Sun Breathing.

In terms of the power of killing ghosts, it is more than one level behind Breath of the Sun.

"The Breath of the Sun - One Form, Round Dance!"

Tanjiro's blade was wrapped with scorching flames, and it circled around and launched a powerful circular slash!

The sword light is like a ring of fire, spreading out 360 degrees without any blind spots.

This blow, in terms of explosive power alone, has surpassed Araki.

The scorching breath on the blade caused the surrounding temperature to rise suddenly, as if a scorching sun was shining wantonly in front of you!

Seeing Tanjiro change his new moves, Araki didn't panic and chose to change his moves at the same time.

The color of his sword also changed, a hint of blue appeared, and then a tornado of water rolled up on the blade.

This is not the [Water Breathing] move that he just learned and used, but [Shiyu Cang Yanliu]'s [Axle Rain]!

In Demon Slayer's world view, the fundamental reason why Sun Breathing is superior to other breathing methods and is called the strongest is:

The enemy of the Demon Slayer Squad, the ghosts, are most afraid of the sun.

Therefore, attacks containing the power of sunlight are the strongest and most terrifying for them.

This is just like in the world view of One Piece, Devil Fruit users are afraid of sea water and sea rocks, so for them, perhaps the breath of water is the most terrifying thing.

Therefore, for Araki, a human being, the most terrifying point of Sun Breath does not actually exist. Its power is only reflected in two points.

First, Tanjiro now has stronger explosive power and speed.

The second thing is that when his blade turns, there is a scorching flame.

And on whose territory you go, you have to follow whose rules.

When it comes to the three-thirds of an acre of land in the ninja world, the fire must be restrained by water, even if it comes from the fire of the sun.

Therefore, Araki did not hesitate to use the [Shigure Cang Yanliu] that can control water.

chi chi-

Raging flames and sparkling water passed by each other, and white mist steamed. Relying on the restraint relationship of attributes, although they were slightly inferior in strength, the two of them were evenly matched in this attack.

After the stabbing, Tanjiro's movements did not stop.

He twisted his body, and the long knife wrapped in flames moved up, drawing a vertical arc again.

"The Breath of the Sun - Type Two, Biluotian!"

At this time, Tanjiro was like a lion crawling into a ring of fire, with flames all over his body and his figure extremely agile.

Then, his movements became more rounded and coherent, and as his body flashed and twisted, powerful slashes came out one after another.

Rings of fire, whirlpools of flames, fire tornadoes... you name it, you name it.

Araki also saw every move, seemingly in a passive situation where he could only defend, but he defended without leakage and remained unscathed.

In the surrounding environment, the fog became thicker and thicker due to the multiple collisions of water and fire.

Araki is waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to confirm whether Tanjiro has a third transformation.

Moreover, Tanjiro uses each move in sequence, which makes him stronger, but it can't help but feel a bit rigid and too craftsmanship.

To put it bluntly, although Tanjiro inherited all the moves of Sun Breath, he did not completely crush it and digest it into his own abilities.

And like [Sun Breath·Shisan Style], by continuously releasing from the One Style to the Twelve Styles, a cycle is formed, and it continues, endless and continuous moves. , it may be an excellent method for ghosts who are immortal and only afraid of sunlight.

Because as long as the night is delayed until the sun rises, the ghost will naturally die.

But for Araki, when the first cycle is completed and the second cycle starts from the beginning, Tanjiro is equivalent to making a move. He doesn't need to predict, he can know the opponent's next move, or two moves. What are the next ten moves?

Although Araki is not a Saint, if he can't defeat Tanjiro's moves in this situation, then his [Inner Eye] may be fake.

Therefore, when Tanjiro wanted to twist his body for the second time and swing out horizontally [breath of the sun, three forms, red mirror of the blazing sun].

Araki raised the tip of his sword, and water flowed into the sky from the opponent's feet.

【Reverse Rolling Rain】!

Tanjiro's reaction was not slow. He immediately accelerated his sword swing and quickly ended the [Scorching Sun Red Mirror]. Then he immediately twisted and spun his body at high speed, dodging Araki's attack at a very high speed.

This is [Breath of the Sun·Four Type, Magic Sun Rainbow]!

However, dodging one move is not the end, because Araki has already prepared countermeasures for the next move that he will definitely use [Breath of the Sun·Wu Style, Train].

Therefore, when Tanjiro rolled around in the air and unleashed an arc of flames like a waterwheel, a sword tip appeared out of thin air and penetrated directly through his heart!

"you……"

Tanjiro was stunned, looking at the two identical Arakis in front of him and behind him, his eyes widened.

Are you stupid?I know how to clone myself!

The corners of Araki's lips curled up slightly, but he soon became serious again.

Because now, it's time for him to verify his conjecture.

This time, Araki relied on the surrounding dense fog to create a clone. Not only did he deceive Tanjiro, but even Yadouzi, who had been staying behind him, had no time to react.

Therefore, the clone Araki could no longer enjoy the experience of holding a girl in his arms.

Bang!

After drawing the sword to kill, the clone was like a machine of Mo's emotions. It turned into smoke and dissipated without saying a word, and returned the remaining chakra to the original body.

At the same time, Midouzi let out a shrill scream that could pierce human eardrums, like the howl of a banshee.

However, Tanjiro, who had clearly suffered a heart-piercing wound, did not turn into feathers of light and dissipate like the swordsmen in the past.

He was half kneeling on the ground, covering his heart with one hand and his face with the other.

His body trembled slightly, as if he was afraid, but also seemed to be excited.

At the same time, Araki noticed that the scars he had left on Tanjiro's body were gradually disappearing, and the other man's aura had also undergone earth-shaking changes as he had noticed before!

To put it simply, the human breath becomes thinner and thinner, and another breath begins to take over!

At this time, Tanjiro, who was half-covering his cheeks, also let out an almost maniacal laugh: "So that's it, it turns out, I'm no longer a human being!!!"

Then he lowered his hand.

Araki saw that Tanjiro's pupils had changed. The plum-red pupils were like wild beasts, and the canine teeth at the corners of his mouth were stretched out like beans, and saliva was constantly overflowing from his mouth.

With a crazy expression, he stood up unsteadily.

"The so-called ultimate life has all the abilities of all living things and is compatible with all life... Moreover, what a brilliant sunshine this is! It is more beautiful than all the scenery I have seen so far!"

As he spoke, rays of sunlight suddenly appeared in the space, as if to respond to him, leaving Araki speechless.

"Immortal and immortal, is this the strongest ultimate life form and perfect creature that Muzan said can surpass him? From now on, my name is Tanjiro, the Ghost King!"

Tanjiro, whose image had changed drastically, hugged his sister Yadouzi, who had also completed the ghost transformation, and looked at Araki with cruel and teasing eyes.

"How about it, are you scared? Hahaha... cry! scream! Then go die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his arm transformed into a long thorn whip. The spikes on the whip looked like living creatures and could stretch and move freely.Moreover, his arms are equipped with countless mouths full of fangs and sharp teeth. The huge suction force they can generate between opening and closing can even create air vortices in the air to slow down the actions of people around him, and at the same time Tear apart everything around it.

Now, such a terrifying weapon is being drawn towards Araki through the air with the sound of howling wind!

"Tsk! There are so many mouths on the arm. Deidara would be so jealous if he saw it. It's just a bit disgusting..."

Araki smacked his lips and retreated. At the same time, he extended the sword blade in his hand and tried to chop it.

laugh--

Ok……

It broke some skin and left some blood, but it failed to completely break the bone.

"Hiss—so hard?"

Araki was completely speechless as he watched the scar heal at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, leaving no scar at all.

He pointed at the Ghost King who was holding his sister in his arms and said, "Don't move around here, wait until I learn the breathing method before you can teach me!"
