Chapter 255 Rengoku Kyojuro

At this moment, Madara Uchiha was using the unique secret technique of the Rinnegan, Shinra Tensei: the ability to repel all attacks with repulsive force.

Unlike Madara's domineering presence, Hashirama retained his deep-seated kindness when using Wood Release techniques.

Before Madara launched Shinra Tensei, he had already keenly sensed the faint, trembling human presence inside the train.

Without hesitation, he activated the Wood Release technique and swiftly rescued all the people inside the train.

Of course, Hashirama did not offer any assistance to those inhuman beings filled with malice.

However, it was precisely this action of the two of them that unexpectedly triggered a misunderstanding.

The trees controlled by Hashirama were snapped in two in a flash of dazzling light.

Immediately afterwards, a figure as dazzling as a flame streaked across the night sky and arrived swiftly.

The blade in his hand gleamed coldly, and with a single stroke, he cut down all the trees.

The sharpness and speed of the blade seemed to cleave even the air itself in two.

Of course, it's incomparable to Hashirama and Madara.

Fortunately, Hashirama did not intend to harm these innocent people, so the Wood Release technique he used was not very powerful.

This allowed the man to successfully cut down the tree and avert the crisis.

After landing, the man stared at Xingliu and the others with a serious expression.

He sensed a powerful aura emanating from Xingliu and the others, and what had just happened was completely unlike any power that a human could possess.

All of this made him feel a strong sense of crisis.

"Able to manipulate trees, emit invisible shockwaves... and able to make me feel such a strong sense of crisis, you... are you really Upper Moons?"

He frowned, his tone filled with doubt and wariness.

Before Xingliu and the others could answer, he turned to the boy Tanjiro beside him and said, "Tanjiro, you take these people and leave here first! I'll handle things here."

Having said that, he gripped the hilt of his knife tightly again, his muscles tensing, ready to fight at any moment.

However, just as he was intently watching Xingliu and the others, Uchiha Madara snorted coldly, preparing to teach this arrogant fellow a lesson.

He's the kind of person who's used to throwing a punch first, and then slowly explaining his reasoning.

Instead of wasting time explaining, it's better to use strength to make the other party submit.

But just as he took a step to launch an attack, Xingliu stopped him in time.

"Wait a minute, Madara, you haven't forgotten why we're here, have you? This is, after all, the team's assessment. Let's not interfere too much."

Xingliu's words made Uchiha Madara stop in his tracks.

He was silent for a moment, then closed his eyes, seemingly pondering Xingliu's words.

Then, Xingliu turned around and waved to Minato and the others who were standing awkwardly watching them.

They felt embarrassed because they felt ashamed that they had embarrassed the teacher by running away so hastily.

"From now on, this place is entirely in your hands. The entire process will be considered as an exam result. If you perform well in the end, you can receive an S-rank ninjutsu from me as a reward."

Minato and the others were delighted to hear this.

Although the Konoha Ninja Academy has undergone many reforms, S-rank ninjutsu remains extremely valuable.

To acquire such ninjutsu, one must pay the corresponding price and make the corresponding effort.

Now, as long as they perform well, they have the opportunity to receive such a reward directly. How could they not be tempted?

However, just as they were happily preparing to meet the challenge, Xingliu gave a wicked smile:

"Of course, there are rewards and punishments. If you perform poorly, you'll have to go back and stay for another year."

As soon as he finished speaking, the smiles on Minato and the others' faces froze instantly, replaced by solemnity and tension.

They exchanged glances, both seeing the determination and worry in each other's eyes.

Go back to the ninja academy for another year?

Such punishment is undoubtedly a huge blow to them.

They didn't want to waste their precious time repeating the same old life on a familiar campus.

So, the nine of them quickly walked up to Xingliu and faced the man who was as dazzling as a flame.

Kyojuro frowned, looking at Seiryu and the others with suspicion.

Although he couldn't understand what Xingliu had just said, he could sense that these people didn't seem to be ghosts.

However, the abilities they had previously displayed puzzled him; they certainly didn't seem like powers that humans could wield.

It was more like the Blood Demon Art used by a supernatural being, which made Kyojuro hesitate for a moment.

After a brief, quiet discussion, Minato, Nawaki, and Fumiaki decided to send Minato, who was incredibly approachable, to negotiate with Rengoku Kyojuro.

They hoped to resolve the misunderstanding through dialogue and gain some information about the world.

The rest of the people remained on high alert, ready to deal with any possible emergencies.

In the world of ninjas, the importance of intelligence is self-evident.

While intelligence may have a relatively limited role for exceptionally skilled ninjas, for most ninjas, possessing intelligence often means controlling their own life and death.

Now, they are in a completely new world, and they know nothing about it.

Their only known objective was to kill the Demon King.

However, since it is their exam time, they can only rely on themselves in this unfamiliar environment.

Therefore, gathering intelligence has become their top priority.

Minato gave a friendly smile, took a step forward, and stood face to face with Rengoku Kyojuro.

He tried his best to make his expression look friendly and sincere, hoping to break down the barriers between them.

Minato said in a calm tone:

"Hello, Mr. Purgatory. We are travelers from another world who stumbled upon this place by accident. We mean no harm and have no intention of being your enemy."

Rengoku Kyojuro frowned slightly; he did not let his guard down.

However, seeing that Minato and the others did not take further action, he did not launch an attack immediately.

"What do you mean by 'another world'? And why are you here?"

Minato was secretly pleased; it seemed the other party was willing to listen to their explanation.

He immediately seized the opportunity and explained their origins and purpose to Rengoku Kyojuro in detail.

Kyojuro Rengoku was skeptical when he heard this, but after seeing the small wound that Minato had made to prove that he was human, he put away his sword.

Although he didn't quite understand the other world in the Water Gate, these people were still human.

His enemies have always been demons; he will never draw his sword against humans.

Chapter 256 Upper Moon

Seeing that the Flame Hashira, Rengoku Kyojuro, had sheathed his sword, Tanjiro and the others behind him relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief.

Having just gone through a fierce battle, they were exhausted and naturally wanted to avoid further fighting.

However, just when they thought they could take a short break, another unexpected situation occurred.

The Hyuga brothers suddenly changed their expressions, hurriedly walked to Minato's side, and nervously said to Kyojuro Rengoku:

"A lot of things are surrounding us. Are they your people?"

Upon hearing this, Rengoku Kyojuro's expression changed drastically, and he immediately realized that the situation was not good.

The innocent people they just rescued are probably in danger right now.

Without a moment's hesitation, Kyojuro Rengoku decisively drew his sword and took a deep breath.

As he breathed, the surrounding air seemed to be drawn in and began to flow rapidly.

He uses a unique Flame Breathing technique to transform the white air he inhales into a fiery aura.

"Breathing of Flame, First Form, Shiranui!"

With a deafening roar, Rengoku Kyojuro's figure, like a burning lion, charged swiftly into the distant darkness.

At the moment he sprinted, the temperature around him seemed to rise, and a scorching heat filled the air.

His figure traced a dazzling trail of fire in the night, like a shooting star piercing the silent sky.

Tanjiro and the other two followed closely behind, their figures nimbly weaving through the forest as they tried to catch up with Kyojuro Rengoku ahead.

Despite the exhaustion that had taken its toll on their bodies, they knew they had to pull themselves together and step forward in the face of the crisis.

Tanjiro and the other two children followed closely behind, their figures darting quickly through the forest, chasing after Kyojuro Rengoku.

Although they were exhausted, they had to force themselves to stay alert in the face of the impending crisis.

After exchanging glances and exchanging a few words, Minato and the others followed them.

They had just had a brief conversation with Kyojuro.

While they might not understand everything, they at least learned that Kyojuro was a demon slayer.

Their target was the Ghost King, so asking him for information was definitely the right person to ask.

In that case, doing Kyojuro a favor without endangering oneself is a good option.

When everyone arrived at the scene, they saw the survivors who had just been rescued hiding in terror behind Rengoku Kyojuro.

Meanwhile, Kyojuro Rengoku was held back by a large number of demons.

These cunning demons employ guerrilla tactics; whenever Kyojuro Rengoku attempts to pursue a target, the other demons seize the opportunity to attack the survivors.

This put Kyojuro Rengoku in a passive position, preventing him from getting too far away from the survivors.

Although he had killed several demons, it was a drop in the ocean compared to the massive horde of demons around him.

Moreover, he could clearly sense an even more dangerous aura approaching.

Just as Rengoku Kyojuro was frowning and thinking of a solution, Tanjiro, Minato, and the others finally arrived in time.

Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, Rengoku Kyojuro couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
