Infinity: The main god space starting from Naruto

Chapter 219 Resurrection Pillar

At this time, Zenitsu was overwhelmed by the gaze of the pillar.

Shinobu Kocho put down the report in her hand and said, "Don't be afraid. We just want to know the situation in Aono Town."

"I really don't remember anything," Zenitsu said in a trembling voice, "It was so scary, there were monsters everywhere."

"This is an emergency!" A loud shout interrupted him. Fuzugawa Shiya slammed the table and stood up.

"Can you be serious? An entire town has been killed in just a few days!"

Zenitsu was frightened by the sudden roar: "Yes, I'm sorry, but I really..."

"Shiya, calm down." Tomioka Giyuu said calmly.

"Tsk." Fushigi Miya sat down heavily, crossed his arms over his chest, his face full of impatience.

At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and a tall boy with dark red hair, red eyes, and a noticeable scar on his forehead walked in.

Although he was not handsome, his eyes were exceptionally warm and gave people a reassuring feeling.

"Tanjiro!" Zenitsu's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have found his backbone. He rushed over from the corner and grabbed Tanjiro's sleeve tightly.

"It's okay, it's okay." Tanjiro patted Zenitsu's back gently with a gentle smile on his face, "I heard that you were injured, are you feeling better now?"

Tomioka Giyuu looked at this scene, his eyes softened a little: "You're back?"

"Tanji-kun!" Kanroji Mitsuri waved happily, "Great, long time no see!"

"I'm on a demon-slaying mission in the north." Tanjiro nodded, his expression becoming serious. "I rushed back immediately after receiving the urgent news from the headquarters. I heard something about Aono Town on the way."

Fuzukawa Shiya turned his head away and snorted coldly. He had always disliked Tanjiro's gentle personality.
But even so, he had to admit Tanjiro's strength.

Since Tanjiro first participated in training, he has demonstrated extremely superb swordsmanship, even his talent is not inferior to that of Kasumihashi Tokitoki.

In the final selection, all the demons were killed unprecedentedly, and none of the selectors were injured or killed.

He also mastered the legendary Breathing of the Sun, and became the new Flame Pillar after the original Flame Pillar died. Even the other pillars could not see through his true level.

"Zenitsu," Tanjiro's voice brought everyone back to reality, "Can you tell us what happened?"

"I remember that night." Zenitsu took a deep breath, "We drank the old woman's soup and got poisoned. Then a group of police officers who turned into monsters appeared behind us and shot at us."

"Then that person appeared." Zenitsu's voice trembled, "Golden hair, like a Westerner, I think his name is Dio."

The conference room fell into silence. Just as Fushigi Miyabi was about to speak, he was suddenly interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps.

"Report!" A hidden person walked quickly to the door, "Lord Kamishiro Tsubaki has woken up."

"Let him in." Shinobu Kocho said immediately.

A moment later, Kamishiro Tsubaki was carried into the conference room on a stretcher by two guards. His entire left arm was missing, and his body was wrapped in bandages, with large burns and small wounds faintly visible under his clothes.

Although the wound had been bandaged, dark red blood could still be seen oozing out.

Tanjiro's nose twitched slightly and his brows suddenly frowned. There was a strange smell on Kamishiro Tsubaki's body. It was not the smell of festering wounds, but a colder breath of death.

"Brother Tsubaki!" Zenitsu's voice was filled with panic, and his eyes fell on Kamishiro Tsubaki's broken left arm.

"No, these injuries are nothing." Kamishiro Tsubaki's voice was a little hoarse, "Compared to this, I have more important things to report."

"Speak." Tomioka Giyuu said briefly.

"After escaping from Qingye Town that day, they took me to a new village."

Kamishiro Tsubaki took a deep breath: "That guy named Dio. His ability is different from the previous ghosts. Not only can he quickly transform ghosts, but he can also merge humans and animals to create terrible monsters."

He paused, his voice trembling, "I saw with my own eyes a woman who was transformed into a half-human, half-dog monster by him for his own amusement."

The air in the conference room froze instantly. Mitsuri Kanroji covered her mouth, her eyes filled with fear.

Fushigawa Shiya clenched his fists and made a crackling sound: "Beast!"

"Namo Amitabha." Beimingyu Xingming chanted in a low voice, clasping his hands together. Tears welled up in his eyes. "It is really cruel to kill such a living being."

"He wanted to get information about the Demon Slayer Corps from me." Kamishiro Tsubaki continued, his voice growing weaker and weaker. "I didn't tell him, so he just..."

He looked down at the wounds on his body.

"Then how did you escape?" Iguro Obanai stuck out his tongue lightly and narrowed his snake-like eyes.

"They were careless." Kamishiro Tsubaki panted, "I took advantage of the guards' negligence to escape. They chased me to the door, but it was already daytime outside, so I survived."

Tanjiro stood in the corner, frowning more and more. Every word Kamishiro Tsubaki said made sense, but his smell was clearly lying. But why did he lie?

Tokito Muichiro keenly noticed Tanjiro's abnormality: "Tanjiro, what did you find?"

"Nothing." Tanjiro shook his head, but his eyes were still fixed on Kamishiro Tsubaki. Before there was solid evidence, rashly exposing it might make the situation more complicated.

Sound Pillar Uzui Tengen stroked his chin and said, "This is really not gorgeous at all. It seems that we are facing an unprecedented enemy."

Tomioka Giyuu pondered for a moment: "From your description, this Dio's strength is not impossible to deal with. If it is a swordsman above rank A, he should be able to fight."

"That's not the problem." Tanjiro shook his head, "He is very smart and will not confront us head-on. He is accumulating strength in secret, which is more terrifying than pure force."

At this moment, the door was gently pushed open. A faint fragrance drifted in, and everyone's eyes turned to the door.

"My lord!" The swordsmen present immediately knelt on one knee.

Ubuyashiki Yoya walked in slowly, supported by two female relatives. His body was wrapped in bandages, with only a pair of gentle eyes showing.

"Everyone, get up." Although Ubuyashiki Kazuya's voice was weak, it was firm. "I've heard it."

He turned to the others: "This being called Dio is probably as dangerous as Muzan. A monster from a foreign country who kills people with such cruel means."

Ubuyashiki's voice trembled slightly: "Such a demon must not be allowed to wreak havoc."

"My lord is right." Shinobu Kocho took over the conversation, "We can't let another Muzan cause trouble."

Ubuyashiki Yoya turned to Kamishiro Tsubaki and said, "Your injuries will take time to recover. Let others fight from now on."

Kamishiro Tsubaki bowed his head: "Yes, my lord."

At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps sounded.

A hermit rushed in hurriedly, holding a roll of documents tightly in his hand, with beads of sweat on his forehead: "My lord! Something terrible has happened!"

"what happened?"

"The shogunate has ordered the confiscation of our properties across the country!" The hidden voice trembled, "Not only that, they also issued a warrant, saying that we privately set up armed forces and intended to rebel!"

"What?!" Fushigawa Miyabi stood up suddenly, and the chair made a harsh sound when scraping on the ground.

Kanroji Mitsuri exclaimed: "How is this possible? We have always been protecting the people."

"Calm down." Ubuyashiki Kazuya raised his hand to stop everyone from talking. His voice was still gentle: "Dio must be behind this. It seems that he has infiltrated the shogunate."

"My lord," Tomioka Giyuu stepped forward, "what should we do?"

"This Dio is more dangerous than we thought..." Ubuyashiki Yoya sat firmly in the upper seat: "Let all peripheral members hide their identities temporarily and transfer important materials to the backup base." He paused, "But we must not stop the operation of slaying demons."

Beimingyu Xingming stepped forward and said, "My lord, do you want to leave the headquarters temporarily? The situation is dangerous now, and your safety is of utmost importance."

"No need." Ubuyashiki Yoya shook his head, a smile on his face, "This place is already hidden enough. Besides, if even I choose to escape, how will the other soldiers fighting on the front line cope with it?"

"But."

"I believe in everyone here." Ubuyashiki Yoya looked around at everyone, "Whether it's the pillars or ordinary soldiers, everyone is fighting to protect others. This belief will not be shaken by a decree."

"Let's adjourn the meeting." Ubuyashiki Yoya stood up and left the meeting room with the help of his maid.

Tanjiro did not leave immediately. He winked at Tomioka Giyuu. Tomioka Giyuu understood and stayed where he was. After everyone else left, Tanjiro spoke up: "The smell on Kamishiro Tsubaki is weird, as if she's lying."

"Do we need to send someone to keep an eye on him?"

"Hmm." Tanjiro pondered for a moment, "Find a few reliable hidden people and take turns to monitor. But be careful not to let him find out."

………………

In the evening five days later.

Ubuyashiki Yoya listened to the report from his subordinates.

Although the shogunate has closed down many industries in the past few days, the shops and warehouses hidden underground are still operating. Although the scale has been reduced by half, it can still barely maintain the basic expenses of the organization.

Soon, the night got darker.

The moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and the mountains and forests were pitch black.

An army was moving silently through the dense forest. The sound of gunfire was muffled by the cloth strips, and only the sound of light footsteps could be heard.

The leading general raised his hand to signal the team to stop. He took out a yellowed map from his pocket and studied it carefully in the faint moonlight. A hidden building complex was marked on the map.

"This is the map His Majesty gave me," the general whispered, "The rebels' headquarters is just ahead."

He turned to his men behind him and said, "According to the plan, surround the entire area. Remember His Majesty's order - leave no one behind."

The soldiers pulled the bolts skillfully, and the sound of metal collision was particularly clear in the silent night.

The general narrowed his eyes and looked at the vague outline of the building in the distance: "These traitors who dared to oppose the shogunate will pay the price tonight."

He drew out his command knife, the blade gleaming coldly in the moonlight: "All troops, take your positions and wait for my signal."

The soldiers were divided into several teams and sneaked towards their target like poisonous snakes.

……

Late at night, in the quiet ward.

At this time, the only sound was the even breathing of Tsubaki Kamishiro.

Suddenly, a slight friction sound came into my ears.

Kamishiro Tsubaki opened his eyes and looked down at the ground. Under the moonlight, the floor was making a "ripping" sound, and soon a black hole appeared.

Then a deformed head emerged - it was a monster with a human head and pangolin, covered with hard scales.

On his back was a long knife and the package that Dio had given him before.

Kamishiro Tsubaki glanced out the window. Two Hidden Guards were hiding in different locations, watching over the place. He shook his head slightly, motioning to Pangolin.

The pangolin seemed to understand something and moved more gently. It gently placed the package on the edge of the cave, and its throat suddenly moved.

"vomit--"

It opened its mouth, and a small, delicate crossbow slid out of its throat. The pangolin stuck out its tongue and expertly hooked the crossbow.
After doing this, it immediately turned around and went back into the burrow.

About a minute passed.

"thump!"

"thump!"

Two dull noises came from next door, like the sound of something falling to the ground. Kamishiro Tsubaki's mouth slightly raised, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Then Kamishiro Tsubaki stood up, picked up the package quietly, and walked out the door.

Meanwhile, Tanjiro was sleeping soundly in his room.

A faint smell of blood wafted into his nose, and he suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils contracting instantly.

"This is..." Tanjiro turned over and grabbed the Nichirin Sword beside the bed.

He followed the smell to Kamishiro Tsubaki's room and pushed the door open. Under the moonlight, two bodies in black team uniforms fell to the ground, with small wounds on their necks and blood already coagulated.

"Hidden!" Tanjiro gritted his teeth, "There is indeed a problem. Damn it!"

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, carefully distinguishing the smell in the air. The smell of Kamishiro Tsubaki was still fresh and extended to the west.

Tanjiro chased after him with a knife in hand. He crossed the courtyard and jumped over the wall. The smell became stronger and stronger, and finally pointed to an unexpected place.

"Cemetery?" Tanjiro stood at the entrance of the cemetery with a frown on his face. This was the final resting place of the Pillars who had sacrificed their lives over the generations, and few people came here on weekdays.

Among them was the Flame Pillar who had once taught him, Rengoku Kyojuro.

At this time, Kamishiro Tsubaki was already standing in the center of the cemetery.

He placed the package on the ground, opened it gently, and took out a wooden box. Under the moonlight, a dozen glass bottles filled with dark red liquid were neatly arranged in the box.

"Stop!" Tanjiro's voice came from behind.

Kamishiro Tsubaki slowly turned around, with a strange smile on her face under the moonlight: "Haha, I didn't expect you to find out. You are worthy of being the current Flame Pillar, your nose is really sharp."

"You are controlled by Dio!" Tanjiro gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, staring at Kamishiro Tsubaki's every move.

"Control?" Kamishiro Tsubaki raised his head and laughed, with a hint of madness in his laughter, "No, you are wrong. This is my own choice. Master Dio showed me what is beyond the limits of human beings. That kind of power, that kind of eternity that transcends life and death."

His voice was full of enthusiasm: "How can you, a frog in the well, understand the greatness of Master Dio!"

Suddenly, there was a burst of gunfire in the distance, followed by screams. Firelight lit up in the night sky, illuminating half of the sky.

"What?!" Tanjiro suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction where the fire came from.

"The action has begun!" Kamishiro Tsubaki showed an excited smile on his face: "Lord Dio's plan is simply perfect!"

In the blink of an eye, Kamishiro Tsubaki took out a bottle from the box. The liquid in the bottle glowed strangely in the moonlight.

Tanjiro turned his head suddenly. The smell was a hundred times more evil than demon blood.

Kamishiro Tsubaki held up the glass bottle high, her voice filled with fanaticism: "This is Lord Dio's blood! It can break the rules of life and death!"

“Stop!” Tanjiro exerted force on his feet and shot out like an arrow.

"Too late!" Kamishiro Tsubaki suddenly activated the Water Breathing, and the long sword drew a silver light under the moonlight.

"Water Breathing, Second Form, Waterwheel!"

The blade hit the ground, and the huge impact force instantly split a tomb open.

The wooden boards of the coffin shattered, revealing the bones underneath. Kamishiro Tsubaki raised his right hand, and the glass bottle drew an arc in the air and fell into the coffin.

At this time, Tanjiro had already arrived in front of him, and the back of the sword was aimed at Kamishiro Tsubaki's face, but at this moment, the ground suddenly shook.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang, and gravel flew everywhere. A large amount of soil and gravel gushed out from the ground.

Tanjiro's steps suddenly stopped.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Suddenly, a sound like a heartbeat came from underground, and a disgusting stench of decay came to his face, mixed with the smell he was most familiar with.

Tanjiro's hands began to tremble, and the knuckles holding the knife turned white due to the force. His pupils suddenly contracted and his breathing became rapid.

"No, it's impossible."

The smoke and dust cleared, revealing the figure of Rengoku Kyojuro. However, he was no longer the high-spirited Flame Pillar. Maggots crawled all over his rotten skin, and a strange red light flickered in his empty eye sockets.
