Controlling the Butterfly Effect from Demon Slayer

In the original work, Tanjiro could barely control the Butsudo Demon with just an axe.

Now, Tanjiro has the Nichirin Sword, and there is no reason for him to fail with the brother and sister fighting two against one.

Although it was a little inconvenient because of his injured arm, after a hard fight, Tanjiro still succeeded in killing the Butsudo Demon!

At this time, the early morning sun came out and shone into the Buddhist temple halfway up the hill.

Nezuko rushed into the Buddhist temple to avoid the sun.

Tanjiro had not noticed the situation of his sister yet. He was holding the Nichirin Sword, looking at the dissipated demon corpse, panting and with lingering fear.

After a while, Tanjiro realized what he had done. He shouted to Horitake with some surprise:

"Senior! I succeeded! I successfully killed a ghost!"

Hori Gaku smiled and nodded, expressing his approval:

"Well done, what do you think? Senior Urokodaki, no, Master Urokodaki?"

At some point, a man appeared in the yard. This man was none other than the former Water Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps and current trainer, Sakonji Urokodaki!

Tanjiro looked at the man with the red Tengu mask and felt that he had an extraordinary aura.

Perhaps because he was still immersed in the aftermath of killing demons, the clever Tanjiro was now a little dazed, staring at Urokodaki blankly.

Hori Gaku was a little anxious.

Silly boy, this is your future master! Why don't you quickly salute, flatter, and hug his thighs? What are you standing there for!?

Helplessly, Hori Gaku could only help Tanjiro to improve his impression points:

"Master Urokutaki, this kid can kill a ghost alone without any training. His aptitude is pretty good, right?"

But Urokutaki responded coldly:

"This is just the most common and weakest kind of ghost, there is nothing to be proud of."

Tanjiro finally reacted, quickly retracted his sword, and faced Urokodaki, very nervous and very respectful:

"Are you Master Urokodaki? My name is Tanjiro Kamado, and I was introduced by Senior Giyu Tomioka."

""I've read Giyu's letter, and I know about you and your sister, but... Kamado Tanjiro, forgive me for being blunt, but I don't think you have the talent that Giyu said. I'm sorry."

Tanjiro's face turned pale, and he felt desperate.

Was he... rejected?

Horitake was dumbfounded. What's going on? This is different from what we agreed on!?

Old man Urokodaki, shouldn't you teach Tanjiro a lesson, test him twice, and finally accept Tanjiro as your disciple!?

How could this happen!?

Could it be... another butterfly effect that cheats me!?

As if to confirm what Horitake was thinking, the system in his mind spoke:

"Ding! The host helped Tanjiro Kamado to kill the Buddha Hall Demon, disrupting fate and triggering a negative butterfly effect: Urokodaki Sakonji refused to accept Tanjiro as his apprentice!"

Hori Gaku was extremely angry and confronted the system in his mind:

"What is disrupting fate?! How did I help Tanjiro kill the Buddha Hall Demon? I didn't do anything at all, okay?"

"The host lent Tanjiro the Nichirin Sword, which was a kind of help."

"Fuck you! Is this considered help?"

The system ignored Horitake's inner roar and directly issued the task:

"Ding! System releases task:

Please ask the host to solve the negative butterfly effect, Urokodaki Sakonji's refusal!

Urokodaki Sakonji was disheartened because more than a dozen of his disciples died in Fujiki Mountain. He did not intend to teach disciples anymore, nor did he intend to endure this pain.

Please ask the host to persuade Urokodaki to accept Tanjiro as his apprentice.

Warm reminder: The host can choose to persuade verbally or by force!

Reward for successful task: Special ability, clairvoyance.

Penalty for failed task: Tanjiro Kamado cannot become a disciple of Urokodaki, his fate changes dramatically, and the butterfly effect collapses further! The future is unpredictable!"

It really caused a negative butterfly effect, and it really triggered the task.

Thinking of the system's friendly reminder just now, Hori Gaku was very helpless.

What can be persuaded or beaten... What nonsense!

Beat... Although his strength has been greatly enhanced, it may be a bit difficult to defeat the former Water Pillar.

Persuade... This old man has a tough personality, and he is not the kind of person who can change his mind with a few words.

There is no way, I can only try two-pronged approach!

Just when Tanjiro was desperate and helpless, and was at a loss, Hori Gaku stepped forward. He walked over and solemnly faced Urokodaki Sakonji:

"Senior Urokodaki, please forgive me for being blunt, but what you just said was biased!"

Urokodaki was also somewhat interested in Horitake, so he turned to look at Horitake and said in a steady tone:

"Oh? Who are you? A member of the Demon Slayer Corps?"

"My name is Horitake, and I am not a member of the Demon Slayer Corps yet. My master is Jigoro Kuwajima."

"He was his disciple."

"Yes, this time I went down the mountain to train, and I ran into the Kamado siblings. I was moved by their determination, so I escorted them all the way here."

At this point, Horitake became emotional, and his tone was aggressive:

"The two siblings were in a great disaster, and they were very pitiful. Fortunately, Senior Tomioka Giyuu introduced them to me, and fortunately, I met them halfway, and they came all the way here.

It was not easy to get here, and it was not easy to meet you, Master Urokodaki, but you said that Tanjiro has no talent, which I cannot agree with!"

"Horitake Senior……"

Tanjiro, who was standing by, was very moved and a little anxious when he saw Horitake trying his best to fight for him.

Was Horitake too aggressive? Would he offend Master Urokodaki because of me?

After being directly rejected by the junior Horitake, Urokodaki could no longer maintain his good temper:

"Boy, what on earth do you want to say?"

"I am stating a fact, that is, Tanjiro has extraordinary talents, you have misjudged him!"

"What?"

"Excuse me, Master Urokodaki, Tanjiro just killed a demon without any experience, which is an outstanding talent in itself!

And her sister Nezuko, you just saw that she was able to overcome her bloodthirsty nature in the face of a fresh corpse, what a strong will! ?

The two siblings have both outstanding talents and strong wills, can this be called talentless! ?

Or are you denying something, Master Urokodaki? What are you avoiding?"

Horitake"unintentionally" hurt Urokodaki's heart, and Urokodaki couldn't help but get a little angry:

"You kid……"

Horitake was not afraid and changed his tone:

"If Master Urokodaki is determined not to accept Tanjiro, then forget it!"

""Huh!?" Tanjiro was shocked.

"I can introduce Tanjiro to my master. It happens that my master only has me as his disciple. If he has another outstanding disciple, he will be very happy.

And I think Tanjiro might be more suitable for thunder breathing than Master Urokodaki's water breathing.

With Tanjiro's outstanding talent, he will definitely become a powerful demon slayer swordsman in the future, and even become a pillar! When the time comes, Tanjiro, you have to defeat Tomioka Giyuu, the expressionless man, in front of everyone! Give Master Urokodaki a good face!"

""Huh!?" Tanjiro was further dumbfounded.

Horitake continued to stimulate Urokodaki:

"In that case, Tanjiro, whom Master Urokodaki despised, was taught by my master. This not only shows that Tanjiro is excellent, but also shows that Master Urokodaki is blind today!"

Horitake's voice fell to the ground, sonorous and powerful!

Tanjiro next to him was trembling with fear. Senior Horitake, isn't it not good for you to do this?

Urokodaki had a blank expression (where did the expression on the mask come from), and he said nothing.

Horitake and Urokodaki looked at each other, their eyes collided, and their momentum confronted each other.

The surroundings were quiet and the atmosphere was very depressing.
