Konoha's task master

A bright light rises from the sky, and the sun gradually rises.

Kamado Tanjiro and others came from afar, and the battle came to an end. With the deaths of Uegen 1 and Uegen 3, the balance of power between Muzan and the Demon Slayer Corps was completely broken.

〖Congratulations to the player for killing Shangxian No. 3·Yi Wo Zuo.〗

〖Congratulations to the player, you have obtained 5000 battle points!〗

〖Use the fire of the sun to destroy evil!〗

When Yakumo saw everyone gathered, he bit the tip of his tongue gently, blood gushed out from the corner of his mouth, and his body began to shake, and finally he fell straight down.

At the same time, his face gradually became pale.

Purgatory Anjuro quickly supported Yakumo's body, his face full of worry, but he didn't know that it was actually Yakumo who was pretending...

"Take me back to a safe place to recuperate."

After Yakumo said this, he fainted.

Hantengu, who was secretly monitoring everything from a distance, gave up the plan of raiding after a slight hesitation. Lord Muhan’s order was for him to find the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps as soon as possible, but he didn’t kill me before dawn.

Yanzhu, whose strength is basically intact.

Purgatory Anjuro did not hesitate to directly carry Yakumo on his back, and the others set off again. Although there is a department responsible for logistics in the Demon Slayer Corps, the one with the strongest medical skills is definitely the Insect Hashira Butterfly Ninja.

While running, Purgatory Anjuro conducted a simple check on Yakumo and found that his breath was stable, his heartbeat was strong, and his muscles and bones were strong. He did not look injured at all, but he fell into a "coma".

Everyone hurried on quickly, but they didn't know that there was a tail behind them.

On the other hand, Muzan initially planned to avoid Yakumo's sharp attack, but when he heard that Yakumo was seriously injured and comatose after a fatal battle with Heishimou.

And now that we have discovered the location of the Demon Slayer Headquarters, we can’t help but think about annihilating them all in one fell swoop.

If the blue flower of the other side is his long-cherished wish that he has been pursuing for thousands of years, then annihilating the Demon Slayer Squad is the biggest knot in his heart at the moment.

Wu Kuai opened the window and looked at the lights outside, his heart gradually became extremely hot. After a while...he opened his mouth and ordered.

"Gather the remaining ghosts and prepare to attack the Demon Slayer Headquarters."

"Those who perform well can obtain my blood and reorganize the Twelve Ghost Moons."

At the same time, Purgatory Anjuro has sent Yakumo to Butterfly House.

Yakumo closed his eyes, and the air was filled with the smell of various flowers. Even with his eyes closed, he could imagine the endless flowers, like a wave... filling the entire yard.

Suddenly, Yakumo smelled a very special floral fragrance, which was light but lingering for a long time. Someone put the stethoscope through his collar, pressed it on the left side of his chest, and performed other tests.

"He wasn't injured, and he was even in pretty good health."

After checking it, Butterfly Ninja said to Purgatory Anjurou.

"How is that possible? He obviously vomited blood!"

Purgatory Anjuro immediately retorted. It just so happened that at this moment... Yakumo, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes and sat up easily.

"Xingjuro, be careful... I am indeed not injured."

"and you…"

Yakumo began to explain that ever since he discovered the third person traveling with the two winding men, he had been planning to lure out the Demon King Muzan. After all, this was just a copy of the world, and he didn't want to waste too much time in it.

This was the plan to deliberately show weakness and lure the snake into the hole.

The result was just as Yakumo predicted, the third party had been following them secretly and had discovered the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps. Coupled with the fact that he, the strongest combat power, had been severely damaged, Muzan was very likely to launch an attack.

"You are... too hasty!"

Yakumo looked at the woman who spoke. She was an extremely beautiful woman. The ends of her black hair had a hint of purple. Even her eyes contained a noble purple. Although there was a faint smile on her face.

meaning.

But Yakumo could sense that she was dissatisfied.

"According to the strength analysis of Heishimou, I have great hope of killing the Demon King Wuhan alone. Could it be that the remaining nine pillars of the Demon Slayer Team can't stop the two top strings and the five bottom strings?"

Yakumo asked the Butterfly Ninja with a smile.

Hearing this, Butterfly Ninja was silent for a moment. She couldn't think of how to refute Yakumo. After all, the man in front of her had proven himself powerful countless times, and he was also the one who... killed Tongmo with his own hands to avenge her sister Kanae, and he had a great influence on her.

A great kindness.

"Thank you."

After a few seconds, Butterfly Ninja spoke softly.

"Thanks…?"

Yakumo was confused because he couldn't remember any interaction with the beautiful young lady in front of him.

"Thank you for killing Tong Mo."

"I happened to meet him...and killed him easily."

Yakumo waved his hand nonchalantly.

A bright smile appeared on Butterfly Ninja's face, but she did not explain the reason for her gratitude to Yakumo, but this kindness was remembered in her heart.

"Killing the Demon King Muzan should be the original intention of establishing the Demon Slayer Squad. I admit that I am willing to gamble, but the chance of killing Muzan is extremely high. Don't the Demon Slayer Squad dare to gamble with me?

"

"This matter... I need to ask my lord."

Purgatory Anjuro said.

"good."

Yakumo nodded, he also wanted to see what kind of person the leader of the Demon Slayer Squad was, who could convince so many talented boys and girls.

Purgatory Anjuro helped the pale Yakumo stand up.

Opening the wooden door of the house, what Yakumo sees is a fairly smooth gravel road about two meters long. Flowers of different colors are planted on both sides of the road.

Suddenly, the fragrance of the surrounding flowers became rich, rushing into Yakumo's nostrils. Although it was not choking, it was unusually rich.

Among the flower stamens, there are industrious bees the size of peas gathering nectar. Of course, there are more butterflies like waves. Those butterflies are not afraid of people and crawl lazily in the center of the flowers to bask in the sun.

When Butterfly Nin walked among the flowers, the surrounding butterflies began to fly around her, creating a beautiful picture.

Yakumo was half leaning on her. When he touched Yakumo carefully, he found that Butterfly Ninja's body was extremely thin. His waist was so slender that he could hold it in his hand. He could clearly smell the fragrance of Butterfly Ninja in his nose. It was quiet and long...

"Breath of Fire·Shiranui."

Purgatory Anjuro quickly drew out his sword, and his figure flashed away. The blade of the sword was burning with flames and directly stabbed the shadow not far away. There was a ghost's clone hidden there, spying on the entire Butterfly House.

Along with a low scream...a plume of gray smoke rose.

Before Bantengu broke up and was annihilated, he saw the ghost-hunting swordsman who had defeated Hei Shimo, and his face turned pale... and he coughed out another mouthful of blood.

Purgatory Anjuro's sudden attack scared the girl not far away and threw away the wooden basin filled with sheets in her hand. The white sheets spilled out of the basin. Infernal Anjuro was apologizing sincerely and explaining the cause of the matter.

The butterfly ninja supported Yakumo, who was even paler, and walked towards the lord's residence. However, after walking a few dozen steps, Purgatory Anjuro carried Yakumo on his back and the three of them quickly ran towards the lord's residence.

Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke were left in the Butterfly House.

On the way, Yakumo discovered that the surrounding forest was dotted with many deadly traps and secret sentries. If no one was there to lead the way, ordinary people would definitely pay their lives if they fell into these traps. It was like a well-defended war fortress.

It's a pity...these arrangements can't stop Wu Mei.

"Okay, Iron Tomb, don't be angry, that one is..."

"But what? Even if he has strength that far exceeds the pillar level, I will not allow him to... destroy my carefully crafted Nichirin Sword in just two months!"

"But…"

"Lord, stop talking, I must teach him a lesson..."

Ubuyashiki Yōya raised his forehead helplessly. He wanted the Steel Tomb to make a few more special Nichirin swords for Yakumo.

However, Steel Mound, who loved his sword as much as his life, didn't listen to his explanation and immediately became furious. Even Yakumo had no time to explain to him the horrific record of killing four upper and lower strings.

Wow... Purgatory Anjuro broke into the courtyard with Yakumo on his back and put Yakumo on the ground. Immediately afterwards, Purgatory Anjuro and Butterfly Ninja knelt down on one knee at the same time and respectfully greeted Ubuya Shiki Yoshiya who was sitting on the cushion.

There are several large trees planted in the courtyard. The trunks are tall and straight, the leaves are lush, and the branches are twisted together.

The curtain of the door is embroidered with wisteria flowers.

"My lord."

"It turns out he is the Lord of the Demon Slayer Squad."

Yakumo observed Ubuya Shiki Yoshiya and found that this man was seriously ill and probably had only a few years to live. His limbs were loose and he obviously did not have any strength, but his body was filled with a calming temperament.

If you ignore the abscesses and sores on his face, you can still see that he was once a handsome and elegant boy.

Behind Ubuyashiki Yaoya, there are several bookshelves more than one meter high. They are filled with various scrolls and books. They should be archives of various information. They are divided into red, black, and purple from top to bottom.

, blue and yellow colors represent the importance of information.

In the corner, stood two golden little girls.

His eyes looked a little cold, which made people feel cold out of nowhere.

Next to Ubuyashiki Yoshiya are scrolls and two books that can be read at any time. Because he is blind, these books need to be read aloud by the girl next to him. There are also tools and incense burners for warming hands. If there is something in the air,

If there is no medicinal fragrance floating around.

At the same time, Ubuyashiki Yōya was also observing Yakumo, but in his perception he did not detect any aura that belonged to a strong man. He stood there unremarkable but hard to ignore. He was a strange person.

"Is it you who... broke the Nichirin sword I made?"

Iron Tomb has stood up, his eyes full of anger.

At this moment, Yakumo confirmed that the person in front of him really wanted to kill him, and he also guessed the whole story from what Iron Tomb said.

"Um...I killed Shimoichi, Nightmare."

"Even if you kill Xia Xuanyi, you can't destroy my..."

But Yakumo could clearly feel that the anger of the person in front of him was gradually subduing. Although he loved swords as much as his life, he hated ghosts far more than his own life.

"I also killed the first, second and third strings."

"Are you kidding!?"

Steel Mound asked angrily, but when he looked at Ubuyashiki Yoshiya who kept nodding, his angry eyes gradually turned into shock, and he lowered his head deeply.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

Iron Tomb suddenly raised his head and smiled with great ease.

"You told me earlier, I will go back and work overtime to help you build it. If I can kill the Ghost King Wuhan, I will break dozens more without any complaints!"

Even through the mask, Yakumo could feel the excitement and joy of the Iron Tomb, which was a calmness that he could not maintain even with all his strength.

"These people are really weird..."

Yakumo thought, under the leadership of the semi-crippled lord, a group of seventeen or eighteen-year-old children wandered in the darkness to protect the world.

There is no fear in these people's hearts at all, not even the steel tomb in front of them. Although they are so weak, they have such deep determination in killing ghosts, as if those ghosts killed his whole family...

Under Ubuya Shiki Yaoya's greeting, several people knelt down on the cushions, while Yakumo lay aside with a pale face.

After Yakumo checked the safety...

The Butterfly Ninja began to slowly tell Yakuya Yakuya about Yakumo's plan, the plan that bet the entire Demon Slayer Squad.

In Yakumo's plan, even he is a pawn on the chessboard, but his role is more like the absolute trump card that determines victory or defeat.

After listening to the entire plan, Uyashiki Yaoya didn't express anything.

Yakumo could sense that he was thinking.

"This plan... is feasible... but needs modification..."

Ubuyashiki Yoshiya began to tell about his plan, using himself and his wife and daughter as bait, burying explosives in the ground and detonating them, and then injecting the prepared poison in advance while Muzan was weak, making Muzan as weak as possible.

Provide the most favorable conditions for Yakumo to kill Muzan.

This is a lunatic.

When he mentioned using himself and his wife and daughter as bait, Ubuyashiki Yōya's expression did not change at all, and even the six little girls around seven years old not far behind him did not show any fear.

Even... even Purgatory Anjuro and Butterfly Ninja didn't have any objections to this, as if Uyashiki Yōya's decision was expected by them, or it could be said that this was a plan that had been decided long ago, even without him

Appeared, the Demon Slayer Squad was also planning to kill the Demon King Muzan.

"I disagree…"

Yakumo shook his head and said firmly.

"Hunting the Demon King without mercy requires sacrifice... Everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps can be sacrificed, and my lord is no exception. The Ubuyashiki clan has been entangled with him for thousands of years. Only when I show up will he let down his guard and walk to the explosives

In the range."

Ubuyashiki Yōya's voice is calm, containing a warm and soothing aura, and is full of determination and will that cannot be shaken by anyone. Even when talking about Mukai, there is not much hatred in his voice.

But... Yakumo could feel that he was trying his best to suppress his emotions.

The big trees in the courtyard rustled under the influence of the wind.

Yakumo stared at Ubuyashiki Yoshiya. He had to admit that to some extent, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya's revised plan was more likely to completely kill the ghost king Muzan, especially when Yakumo heard that Muzan had the ability to split into a thousand

When you have multiple escape abilities...

Yakumo hesitated, in this world...he only has one life.

The second plan is good enough for him.

When he turned his head and looked at the two porcelain doll-like girls, his heart inevitably felt ripples, and more importantly, he couldn't bear it.

"Only if I bring my wife and daughter with me, Wuhan will truly believe that this is not a trap, so they must die with me."

Ubuyashiki Yōya followed Yakumo's line of sight and explained that his voice was always quiet, peaceful, and full of wisdom.

But even though he was blind, he could guess the reason why Yakumo refused.

Yakumo closed his eyes, and the wind outside the house suddenly became violent, just like the waves surging in his inner lake that could not be calmed. The blooming cherry blossoms in the courtyard fell to the steps under the influence of the wind.

"They are just NPCs in the dungeon world, why should we care?"

"They are willing to die for their carelessness and generosity, why bother to stop them?"

"Why increase the difficulty when you can complete a task easily?"

"Don't forget, in this world... you only have one life!"

"Don't overflow with the Holy Mother's heart."

"Just an ordinary person I've known for a few days!"

Countless sounds echoed in Yakumo's mind, like a devil tempting him to fall, or a saint issuing a sentence... He could think of dozens or even hundreds of reasons for agreeing to Ubuyashiki Yōya's plan.

But these voices became louder and louder.

The more Yakumo resisted, he resisted from the bottom of his heart.

There may even be anger rising in my heart, anger directed at myself.

"I once claimed to be righteous, but I hesitated before life and death."

"Being born in heaven and earth, you should be worthy of your heart."

Until...he opened his eyes.

"I don't agree, I will be responsible for killing Wuhan."

Yakumo sat up straight, stared at Ubuya Shiki Yōya without any hesitation, and spoke every word with an extremely firm tone.

"If I insist on going according to your plan, I will quit."

The quiet room became even quieter...even a little tense.

"Yakumo-kun, I know you can't bear the death of two young girls, but they were born into the Uyashiki family. This is the fate they must bear!"

Ubuyashiki Yōya's voice was a little excited, and he even couldn't help but cough a few times. This man was really seriously ill, but he lived strong with a will as strong as steel and flames.

Yakumo admires the Demon Slayer Squad, and even more admires Ubuyashiki Yōya.

But if he doesn't agree, he just doesn't agree.

"Actually... there is a plan C."

Immediately afterwards... Yakumo took out nine bright red reagents and lined them up on the floor in front of several people. There were faint bubbles inside the scarlet liquid that gradually appeared and died, like a gift from the devil in hell.

This is the secret medicine, Burning Blood, which is supplied in limited quantities by the Anbu of Konoha.

"First of all, fighting Black Death Mou is not my full strength."

"Secondly, this medicine will kill you if you use it, but it can almost double the power. Even if I die... I still can't kill the ghost king Wuhan."

"Then he will definitely be severely injured by me. At that time, it will be enough to choose a few of the nine pillars to burn myself!"

"Of course, I am confident that I can kill Muzan Kibutsuji!"
