Ubuyashiki Yōya immediately summoned all the pillar-level swordsmen to hold a pillar-level meeting after Nobuhiko and others returned.
After Nobuhiko arrived at the main room, he found that there was another pillar-level swordsman this time.
【Insect Pillar】Butterfly Ninja.
She was sitting next to [Hanagi] Kanae.
The Butterfly Ninja is only about 1.5 meters tall and is naturally petite.
From a human perspective, she has outstanding looks, a heroic spirit, and a petite figure, but her proportions are very good.
However, as a swordsman, her physical strength and wrist strength are weak, and her wrist strength is not enough to cut off the ghost's head.
Therefore, Butterfly Ninja specializes in poison making and has improved the art of wisteria flower toxins to the extreme. By injecting wisteria flower toxins, the ghost's body can collapse.
After becoming a half-ghost, Nobuhiko also had an instinctive dislike for wisteria flowers.
However, in many subsequent experiments, he took Wisteria toxin again and again, increasing the amount he took, and now he has completely adapted to Wisteria.
After obtaining Nobuhiko's chakra, Butterfly Ninja's physical fitness has been greatly improved, but making poison is still her main business.
"I've called everyone together today to announce some good news. First of all, we have another pillar-level swordsman, Butterfly Ninja." Ubuyashiki Yōya's voice was filled with joy.
The Butterfly Ninja nodded to everyone.
Because everyone is an acquaintance, even if a pillar-level swordsman is injured, he will go to the Butterfly House for treatment, so everyone has a good relationship with the Butterfly Sisters.
Butterfly Ninja's strength is definitely at the bottom among pillar-level swordsmen. She was promoted to pillar by killing more than fifty ghosts, and she never killed the lower-stringed ghosts.
It's just that her poison-making skills and medical skills are equally superb, so her effect on the Demon Slayer Squad is even greater than that of ordinary pillars.
"In addition, Nobuhiko, Masaki, and Giyuu encountered Muzan Kibutsuji during this mission!"
Ubuyashiki Yōya changed the topic and his expression suddenly became serious.
After more than a hundred years, Ghost Dance Tsuji Muzan finally showed his flaws.
The time has come to eliminate Wu Ke!
As soon as Ubuyashiki Yaoya finished speaking, everyone started talking and looked at Nobuhiko and Masaki.
As for Tomioka Giyu, he was selectively ignored.
"What happened to you?!"
"What does he look like? Where did you meet him?"
"What did he go there for?"
"Have you ever fought with Wuhan?"
"Tell us quickly what abilities Wu Kuai has!"
Nobuhiko made a gesture of silence, and everyone immediately stopped asking questions.
"Kibutsuji Muzai has the ability to completely mimic. He looks like an ordinary young man with pale skin. When we first encountered him, he was massacring a family who made a living by selling charcoal."
Nobuhiko paused and continued: "From my perception, Wu Mei has five brains and seven hearts in his body."
"What? Five brains? Seven hearts?!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked.
Nobuhiko continued: "I used the secrets of the Thunder Breathing Method and the Fire Breathing Method [Fire Thunder God] and [Purgatory] at the same time, but it did not cause any substantial damage to him.
His physical defense and recovery capabilities far exceed those of ordinary ghosts.
Even the Shang Xian II I encountered before was completely incomparable.
According to my estimation, to kill him, I would not only have to cut off his head, but also destroy his entire brain and heart at the same time. "
"this......"
"Damn Wu Ke! So powerful!"
"Anyway, we at least understand Wu Mei's ability. This is important information."
"Nobuhiko, since Muzan is so powerful, how did you retreat safely?" Kanae put her hands on her chest, looking scared.
Nobuhiko Haori took out the sleeping Jinyan from his inner pocket and placed it in his palm, "Thanks to it."
"You mean it used the ability it had when dealing with Shangxian II last time?" Butterfly Ninja responded.
"Yes, but Jin Yan seems to be able to use this ability only when I am in critical condition. Moreover, this ability consumes a huge amount of its chakra. After using it, it has been sleeping."
Nobuhiko nodded slightly and put Jin Yan back into Yu Zhi's inner pocket, "Because of Jin Yan's help, and because it was almost dawn, Wu Kai wanted to escape, so I cut off one of Wu Kai's arms. .”
"What? You cut off Wuhan's arm?"
"Where is it? Did you bring it back?"
"Perhaps we can use Wu Mei's blood to develop a way to deal with him!"
Everyone was talking about it.
Nobuhiko shook his head and explained: "I gave Muzan's arm to Miss Tamashii. Originally, I planned to bring back part of Muzan's blood for Kanae and Shinobu to study.
But he gave up because he was worried that Muzan could trace the location of the Demon Slayer Headquarters through blood.
Miss Tamashii and Yushiro can block Muzan's perception through special vampire techniques, so giving Muzan's blood to them for research is the best choice.
The lord also agreed with this! "
Ubuyashiki Yoshiya said: "Miss Tamashii has the same goal as us. I believe she will be able to find Muzan's weakness and help us eliminate him together!"
The information about Zhu Shi has been disclosed internally.
At first, many members thought ghosts could not be trusted.
However, with Nobuhiko's active performance and the fact that he became a half-ghost without any demon's weaknesses, they gradually accepted the cooperation between the Demon Slayer Squad and Tamayo.
"It's a pity that we didn't all go out together this time, otherwise we might be able to keep Muzan!" Immortal Kawa Saneya said solemnly, feeling it was a pity.
"No, with Wu Kai's strength, if it is not close to dawn, even if all of us are dispatched, I am afraid we will not be able to match." Nobuhiko retorted: "We must wait until Miss Tamashi develops a drug that weakens his strength, or until someone among us Only by learning the Sun Breathing Technique can we fight against Muzan!"
"Sun Breathing Technique?"
"Isn't the initial breathing method lost long ago?"
"Nobuhiko, you..."
Following everyone's gaze, Nobuhiko explained: "Aren't you surprised why Wu Kai went to a deep mountain and old forest to kill civilians who made a living selling charcoal?"
Everyone reacted at this time. The news of Wu Mei's appearance was too shocking, and they could not calm down for a long time.
"We rescued two brothers and sisters from that family. The elder brother's name is Kamado Tanjiro, and the younger sister's name is Kamado Nezuko.
Tanjiro wears the Nichiwa earrings of Enichi Tsugoku, a user of the Hino Breathing Technique.
And I suspect that the fire god Kagura passed down from generation to generation in the Kamado family is the Sun Breathing Technique! "
Nobuhiko said very firmly.
"is this real?"
"The Breathing Technique of the Sun hasn't ended its inheritance yet?!"
In the face of everyone's comments, Nobuhiko continued: "I have brought the brother and sister back, and I am going to take Tanjiro as my 'step-son' and teach him breathing techniques.
In this way, he can demonstrate the Breathing Technique of the Sun.
At that time, if any of us can use the Breathing Technique of Rising Sun, we can greatly increase the chance of defeating Wu Mei! "
"Has that child been brought to headquarters?!"
"Yes, but her sister has become a ghost, but she has escaped Wuhan's control and regained her sanity. She cannot eat people and only needs to sleep to survive." Nobuhiko explained.
Feeling everyone's eyes focused on him, Uyashiki Yōya nodded.
"I have already agreed to this matter. I wonder if everyone agrees to accept the Tanjiro brothers and sisters."
Saying that, Ubuyashiki Yōya was the first to raise his hand in agreement.
"I agree! That child has never eaten anyone. As long as we work together, we may be able to kill Wuhan before she wakes up and turn her back into a human again.
And I can guarantee that even if she wakes up early, she will never harm humans. I am willing to guarantee this! "Nobuhiko raised his hand.
"I agree too, I believe in Nobuhiko!" [Hanagi] Kanae followed closely and raised her hand in agreement.
"I agree!" [Lan Zhu] Zhen Xiang's reaction was a little slower.
[Insect Pillar] Although Butterfly Ninja does not believe in ghosts, he raised his hand and agreed, "I agree, I trust my sister's judgment."
"Agree." [Water Pillar] Tomioka Yoshiyuki was the slowest to respond.
"It's really hard for me to accept letting ghosts stay at the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps!" [Wind Pillar] Fusukawa Saneya's face darkened, and it seemed that he was preparing to object.
Compared to a half-ghost like Nobuhiko, it is difficult for the immortal Kawa Saneya to accept Nezuko who has completely turned into a ghost.
Because after becoming a ghost, the desire for human flesh and blood cannot be easily restrained with reason.
The ghosts will even eat their biological parents and siblings, and such tragedies happen from time to time.
At this time, Nobuhiko suddenly asked:
"Shiya, according to what you said, I am also a ghost. You don't want to kick me out of the Demon Slayer Squad, do you?"
"That's not what I meant! You are different from that ghost named Nezuko!" Immortal Sekawa Saneya said excitedly.
"Then what do you mean?" Nobuhiko asked, "Even if you become a ghost, as long as you don't eat people and are willing to destroy Wuhan together, you can be our companions.
Ghosts are just a new life that has changed from human beings. If they can coexist peacefully with humans, they will be no different from humans.
You see, I don't eat people. My body is close to that of a ghost, but my mind is still that of a human being.
The same goes for Nezuko. When she had just turned into a ghost and longed for human flesh and blood, she still protected Tanjiro.
She could resist my thin-blooded temptation. How could such a ghost be regarded as an enemy? "
"I...I!" Immortal Sakawa Saneya was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer, "I abstain!"
[Flame Pillar] Purgatory Anjuro said loudly: "Although I don't trust ghosts, I trust Nobuhiko. I think I can give Tanjiro and Nezuko a chance!"
Immortal Kawa Saneya was stunned when he heard this. In his opinion, Purgatory Anjurou would definitely object.
"Ah~ It's the poor child, Amitabha, I choose to abstain!" [Yanzhu] Mingyu Xingming's eyes were full of tears and he chose to abstain.
Originally, he would definitely object, but Nobuhiko's words are very credible.
The existence of Tamayo and Yushirou let him know that there are ghosts who are willing to help humans, but Nezuko has not proven himself yet. Out of his trust in Nobuhiko, he chose to abstain.
"Hmm... Well, I agree. That child is too pitiful. I think she should be given a chance." [Love Pillar] Kanroji Mitsuri raised her hand with a slightly reserved look.
"I chose to abstain magnificently!" [Sound Pillar] Yusui Tianyuan said.
"I also abstain." [Snake Pillar] Iguro Kobane was originally prepared to object, but when he saw Kanroji Mitsuri raising her hand, he chose to abstain.
Of course, this kind of thing is not entirely influenced by his personal feelings.
Although he also trusts Nobuhiko, he hates ghosts very much. His decision cannot play a decisive role anyway, so his opposition is just an attitude.
Now it has changed from opposing to abstaining, which is regarded as remaining neutral and waiting for the consequences.
"..." [Xiazhu] Tokito Muichiro stopped in his daze, "I believe in your lord's judgment, and I agree."
"In this case, 7 out of 13 votes agreed, then it is agreed that the Tanjiro brothers and sisters will stay at the headquarters." Ubuyashiki Yoshiya gave the order, "Nobuhiko, you will be the one to guide Tanjiro. Ahem... ..."
Before Uyashiki Yōya could finish his words, he coughed violently.
This Hashirama meeting lasted longer than before, and the appearance of Muzan made Ubuyashiki Yaoya excited.
The centuries-old wish of the Ubuyashiki family has finally come true!
"My lord!"
Seeing this, everyone stepped forward and looked at Ubuya Shiki Yaoya with concern.
Nobuhiko hurried forward and put his hand on Uyashiki Yoshiya's back, and a small amount of Yang Release Chakra was slowly injected into his body.
Because Ubuyashiki Yōya's body is very weak, he cannot withstand Nobuhiko's large amount of chakra, so he can only use a small amount of chakra to slowly enhance his physique.
It is said that strong medicines are used for severe cases, but the premise is that the body needs to be well-rested before taking strong medicines.
He only had a few breaths left, but he was given strong medicine as soon as he came, and he might have been sent away directly to Ubuyashiki Yōya.
Speaking of which, Muzan is related by blood to the Ubuyashiki family, so the descendants of the Ubuyashiki family have received a 'curse'.
Nobuhiko is also very interested in this. He wonders what this so-called curse is?
Muhan's immortality seems to have been earned by the Ubuyashiki family's short lives from generation to generation.
This can’t follow the law of conservation, right?
"Thank you Nobuhiko, I'm fine." Yoya Shiki calmed down for a while, looked at the worried people, and said happily: "Don't worry, I will definitely live to see the day when you are wiped out with my own eyes. !”
"When we eliminate Wuhan, my lord, you will have no problem living to be a hundred years old!" Nobuhiko affirmed.
A smile appeared on Uyashiki Yōya's face, "I only hope that after Muzan is eliminated, when the Demon Slayer Corps is finally disbanded, every one of you will be there."
...
As his strength and abilities increase, Nobuhiko's voice within the Demon Slayer Corps becomes larger and larger.
Especially after gaining popularity.
In this way, the Zhuhe meeting ended successfully.
The process was much smoother than Nobuhiko expected.
After the meeting is over, each column-level swordsman will return to his residence.
As pillar-level swordsmen, they shoulder heavy responsibilities, so there is very little time for everyone to rest. It is only because of the pillar meeting that everyone stays at the headquarters.
"Anjuro, wait a minute!" Nobuhiko quickly caught up with Infernal Anjuro.
Purgatory Anjuro turned around and said happily: "What's wrong, Nobuhiko? Do you want to practice sword skills with me?"
Immortal Kawa Saneya, who was on the side and was about to leave directly, slowed down after hearing this.
"Well, I don't know much about the basics of swordsmanship, and I'm not good at teaching people, so I want you to help me teach Tanjiro breathing techniques. That boy knows almost nothing about swordsmanship." Nobuhiko explained.
Among the pillar-level swordsmen in the original work, Purgatory Anjuro is the most enthusiastic and patient one.
After getting along with him for the past few years, Nobuhiko has great trust in Purgatory Anjuro's teaching ability.
For example, the team's new [Love Pillar] Kanroji Mitsuri is the 'stepson' trained by Purgatory Anjuro in the past two years.
"Of course!" Purgatory Xingjulang nodded.
"Thank you very much, I knew you would be willing to help!"
Nobuhiko smiled and patted Purgatory Anjurou on the shoulder, "Come to Butterfly House with me. Let's have lunch together and I'll show you my skills."
Immortal Sakawa Saneya stopped not far away. Seeing that Nobuhiko had no intention of calling him, his face darkened and he walked quickly past him.
"Shimiya!" Nobuhiko suddenly called out to Immortal Kawashimi.
"What are you doing?" Immortal Chuan Saneya paused in his steps, still looking unhappy.
"Are you willing to work with Anjuro to help me teach Tanjiro sword skills?" Nobuhiko asked.
Immortal Sakawa Saneya was stunned when he heard this, and said seriously: "I am very strict, so don't feel sorry for your stepson when the time comes!"
Nobuhiko smiled and said: "Of course not, I just want a stricter teacher to teach Tanjiro."
"Hmph." Immortal Kawa Saneya snorted coldly, "I hope you don't regret it, let's go."
"Where to go?" Nobuhiko asked.
"Aren't you going to Butterfly House now?" Immortal Kawa Saneya was stunned when he heard this.
Nobuhiko said: "It's okay, you can come tomorrow."
"You!" Immortal Chuan Saneya's face darkened, and he turned to leave.
Nobuhiko quickly smiled and waved his hand, "You're just kidding, go now! Let's eat first!"
"snort."
...
Butterfly House.
living room.
Seven people, Nobuhiko, Kanae, Butterfly Ninja, Masaki, Purgatory Anjuro, Immortal Kawa Saneya, and Tanjiro, sat around the dining table.
"Brother, your cooking is getting better and better!" Zhenshen did not hesitate to praise him.
Purgatory Anjuro shouted "It's delicious!" and then started to eat.
Seeing this, Immortal Kawa Saneya seemed to be fighting with him, and he was eating faster and faster!
"If you want to learn, I can teach you!" Nobuhiko smiled.
Zhenshen shook his head and said: "I don't want to learn. As long as I follow my brother forever, I can eat such delicious food every day!"
"That's a good idea, I'm too lazy to cook every day!" Nobuhiko said angrily.
Kanae chuckled, "Nobuhiko, you can teach Shinobu, she is very good at cooking, and you can let her cook when the time comes."
"Sister, you..." Butterfly Shinobi looked at her sister in confusion.
"Good suggestion!"
"I agree!"
Nobuhiko and Masaki also started cheering.
Tanjiro, who was originally a little reserved, gradually became more relaxed in this relaxed atmosphere.
Halfway through the meal, Nobuhiko suddenly looked at Tanjiro and said:
"Tanjiro, the headquarters has agreed to accept you two brothers and sisters. Now you have to start working hard as a swordsman!"
"Yes, Mr. Nobuhiko, I will definitely work hard!" Tanjiro nodded heavily.
"These two are the teachers I invited to teach you basic sword skills. This is [Pillar of Flame] Purgatory Anjojuro, and this is [Pillar of Wind] Immortal Kawa Saneya." Nobuhiko continued.
"Mr. Purgatory, Mr. Immortal River, please give me your advice in the future!" Tanjiro said respectfully.
"Tanjiro boy, let's work hard together!" Purgatory Anjuro put down the bowl and chopsticks and said with a smile.
"Well! Thank you Mr. Purgatory." Tanjiro felt the change in Purgatory Anjuro's taste and knew that he was a very enthusiastic and sunny person.
On the side, Immortal Kawa Saneya said with a cold face: "If you fail to achieve your training goals, don't blame me for being unkind."
"Yes! I will work hard." Tanjiro's face turned bitter. Mr. Fusukawa seemed to be not easy to get along with.
After a while, a table full of dishes was cleared.
Except for Butterfly Ninja, who has a slightly smaller appetite, everyone present is a big eater.
Among them, Nobuhiko, Kanae, and Purgatory Anjuro have the most exaggerated appetites.
"Tanjiro, let's go rest for a while and then start training in the afternoon." Nobuhiko said with a smile.
"Yes!" Tanjiro said respectfully.
...
Tanjiro returned to his room to rest.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw his sister Nezuko sleeping on the bed.
Looking at the unfamiliar room, Tanjiro looked a little sad.
If it weren't for Wuhan, he would still be chopping wood, burning charcoal, and selling charcoal.
Although poor, the family is very happy together.
After a while, Tanjiro sat on the edge of the bed and gently held Nezuko's hand, his eyes becoming gentler.
"Nezuko, we have been accepted by the Demon Slayer Corps. Brother will definitely work hard to practice. Sooner or later, he will eliminate Wuhan and turn you back into a human again..."
Tanjiro just held Nezuko's hand and spoke slowly.
Nezuko seemed to be able to hear Tanjiro's words, and her frown gradually relaxed.
...
The afternoon training started quickly.
Nobuhiko just took a look.
When it comes to teaching people, Purgatory Xingjulang is indeed a professional.
After a while, Nobuhiko left.
He returned to the room and began to charge Jin Yan. As long as he injected a large amount of chakra into it, he believed that Jin Yan would wake up soon.
In the evening, it was time to eat.
Nobuhiko was shocked when he saw Tanjiro again.
"Um~ Mr. Nobuhiko, I'm not going to eat dinner. I'm going to take a rest first." Tanjiro looked weak and his voice was hoarse like an old man.
"..." Nobuhiko looked confused, "What happened?"
"Mr. Fusukawa's training is too strict, and ordinary people can't bear it." Butterfly Ninja explained.
But Immortal Sakawa Saneya retorted: "You want to be Nobuhiko's 'stepson', and I and Purgatory teach together, how can you be an ordinary person!"
"Yeah, that makes sense." Nobuhiko nodded, feeling that there was no room for refutation.
Anyway, with the existence of chakra, Tanjiro's body will not have any problems.
No matter how strict the training in the Immortal River is, can it be more cruel than the training of Matt Dai and his son in practicing the Eight Gate Dunjia?
And now that Tanjiro has the financial resources of the Sanyashiki clan as a backing, he doesn't have to worry about food and medicine at all.
Naturally, he needs to spend more time training.
****
In this way, a year passed quietly.
Under the influence of chakra, Tanjiro's talent has been greatly improved. Coupled with the hellish training of Immortal Kawa Minya, Tanjiro finally fully mastered the breathing method of fire, and at the same time completed [Complete Concentration·Changzhong] , finally had the ability to demonstrate Kagura, the God of Fire.
The other members of the Demon Slayer Squad are also rapidly becoming stronger.
The chakra of every pillar-level swordsman has been raised to a level equivalent to that of a jounin.
