Become a god by AFK starting from Naruto

Knowing he could no longer resist, he ultimately chose to flee in the direction of Doma.

In contrast, Doma's situation was much better.

Although his strength was also diminished, he was still not someone the Flame Pillar could easily defeat.

Moreover, Kyojuro also needed to be distracted by protecting the survivors, which caused him to suffer severe injuries in a short period of time.

Fortunately, Tanjiro unleashed a powerful burst of strength at the crucial moment, which allowed them to barely withstand Doma's fierce attack.

Just when they were feeling overwhelmed, Akaza and Minato arrived at the battlefield just in time.

In the end, only by joining forces with Doma and Akaza could they barely withstand the fierce attacks of Minato and the others.

However, just as they were hoping that Upper Moon One Kokushibo would come to their aid, the familiar sound of gunfire suddenly rang out, and their hearts sank to the bottom.

After all, this means that the Minato side has won the battle on that side.

Moreover, the sudden gunshot not only disrupted their mindset, but also gave Minato and the others the opportunity to behead Akaza in one fell swoop.

When Kokushibo arrived at the battlefield, this scene unfolded right before his eyes.

After beheading Akaza, Minato did not pause for a moment. He quickly shifted his target and turned his spear towards Doma.

The gunshot that followed prevented Doma, who had already dodged, from completely avoiding Minato's fatal blow; his legs were broken by the gunshot.

Fortunately, at this critical moment, Doma, with his superhuman reflexes, used his fan to block Minato's subsequent attack, thus winning himself a chance to survive.

The gunshot brought Kokushibo back to his senses. He gripped his sword tightly and swept it out with tremendous force, attacking Minato.

Although Minato easily blocked the attack, the powerful strength unique to demons still forced him back a few steps.

However, Minato, who had been forced to retreat, did not rush to launch another attack.

The sun had already risen on the horizon, and the first rays of sunlight were shining on the earth, casting a golden glow.

Chapter 261 The Ghost That Is Not Afraid of Sunlight

As Rengoku Kyojuro gazed at the slowly rising sun on the horizon, a joyful smile appeared on his face.

For hundreds of years, the Demon Slayer Corps has clashed with demons countless times, but has never had the glorious record of slaying an Upper Rank demon.

However, today, all of this is about to be rewritten.

The four evil spirits before them were now trapped like turtles in a jar; none of them could escape.

Upper Moon Three has been bravely beheaded, and Upper Moon Two's strength has also been greatly damaged, making it difficult for him to fight again.

As for Upper Moon One, who had just appeared, although he appeared to be unharmed, his disheveled appearance could not hide the fact that he had been defeated on another battlefield.

Even without the sun's help, Kyojuro firmly believed that with their tacit cooperation with Minato and the others, they would be able to eliminate these evil spirits one by one.

However, when the golden sunlight bathed the earth, bringing them the dawn of victory, he discovered that things were not as simple as he had imagined.

Although the evil spirits had gloomy faces, they showed no sign of wanting to escape.

This stirred a sense of unease within Kyojuro.

His unease reached its peak as the sunlight began to shine directly on the demons.

Kyojuro, Tanjiro, and the others were shocked to discover that Kokushibo and Doma were only emitting blue smoke from their bodies in the sunlight, and did not turn to ashes as expected.

This situation completely overturned their understanding that had lasted for hundreds of years.

In their view, it was an ironclad rule that evil spirits would disappear when exposed to sunlight, but now, this ironclad rule seems to have been broken.

Meanwhile, Xingliu, who had been observing from another dimension, also understood why the world consciousness had asked for help.

If the Upper Moon demon before us is immune to the sun's lethal rays, then it goes without saying that the Demon King Muzan must also possess the same ability.

In this way, unless Yoriichi Tsugikuni is reborn, Muzan will become an invincible being.

It would be virtually impossible for the Demon Slayer Corps to eliminate him.

However, in Xingliu's opinion, although Muzan has eliminated his biggest weakness, Minato and the others still have a chance to take him down if they cooperate properly.

Moreover, this is a test for them, and he will not take action unless absolutely necessary.

Meanwhile, Minato and the others being tested had no idea what Seiryu was thinking.

They were now ready to launch another attack.

These newcomers to the ninja were not too surprised that the demons could overcome the weakness of sunlight.

After inwardly lamenting that Kyojuro's intelligence might not be entirely accurate, they continued their fierce attack.

In stark contrast to them were the gloomy expressions on Kokushibo and Doma's faces.

Although the two evil spirits did not vanish into thin air in the sunlight, the arrival of daylight undoubtedly weakened their power.

Already at a disadvantage, they now appeared even more powerless and unable to contend with Minato and the others.

Kokushibo and Doma exchanged a glance, their understanding unspoken.

They knew that continuing to fight was futile, and that preserving their lives was the top priority.

So, they tacitly used their special moves to temporarily repel the fierce attack from Minato and the others.

They then turned and retreated without hesitation, attempting to escape the battlefield.

Minato and the others naturally wouldn't let them off easily.

They pursued relentlessly, attempting to eradicate the two evil spirits completely.

However, at that moment, Akaza, whose head had been cut off, suddenly stood up again.

His head rapidly regenerated, and he roared, "Destruction Kill - Final Style - Azure Silver Chaotic Remnant Light!!"

As Akaza's shout subsided, countless bluish-white clouds of energy surged forth like a violent storm.

These clouds of energy, carrying a sharp killing intent, completely surrounded Minato and the others.

They had to temporarily abandon the idea of ​​pursuit and focus all their efforts on dealing with this sudden attack.

These gas clouds attacked with density and speed, as if they wanted to devour the entire battlefield.

Minato and the others dodged left and right, trying to find a way to break through.

However, Akaza's attack did not end there.

His attacks carved deep trenches in the ground and kicked up huge plumes of smoke.

The smoke filled the air, forming thick barriers that provided excellent cover for Kokushibo and Doma's retreat.

The Hyuga brothers, watching from a distance, couldn't help but frown.

They put down their chakra guns and returned to the ground.

Although their Byakugan could see through the smoke, the power of the chakra gun could only cause slight resistance to the two demons.

Things have already progressed to this point, and there's nothing they can do to change it.

They could only watch helplessly as Kokushibo and Doma disappeared into the distance under the cover of smoke.

As Kokushibo and Doma disappeared from sight, Akaza's attack finally came to an end.

He was knocked to the ground by Kushina's punch, but his powerful regenerative abilities allowed him to stand up instantly and prepare to continue the fight.

Akaza originally thought that after overcoming his weakness of being beheaded by the Nichirin Blade, he would experience inner joy.

However, to his surprise, an unquenchable rage ignited in his heart.

He tried to channel his anger into fighting, but as the battle continued, the fire in his heart burned ever brighter, making him increasingly frustrated and irritable.

However, what Akaza didn't know was that Minato and the others involuntarily stopped their attacks when facing him.

For they were astonished to find that the demon before them was actually crying.

His tears fell silently, a stark contrast to his fierce appearance.

When Akaza realized that Minato and the others had stopped, he mistakenly thought that they looked down on him.

He roared, issuing a challenge: "Why did you stop? Keep going! Let's slaughter them all!!!"

However, Minato and the others did not immediately respond to his provocation.

At that moment, Tanjiro sniffed and whispered, "It smells like sadness."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly flashed through Akaza's mind.

It was the figure of a beautiful and radiant woman, who was looking at him with a sorrowful expression, as if she were telling him something.

However, when Akaza tried to hear her voice clearly, he found that he couldn't hear anything at all.

This unattainable sense of loss made Akaza even more frustrated.

He struck a pose, ready to unleash all his inner rage in the fight.

However, at that moment, Xingliu in the alternate dimension sighed softly.

He looked at the transparent figure beside Akaza, an innocent soul who silently shed tears, hoping that her husband would remember her.

However, Akaza was unable to sense her presence.

Xingliu couldn't bear to see the tragedy of this couple unable to recognize each other continue to unfold.

With a gentle tap, he briefly solidified the transparent figure.

At that moment, Akaza finally saw the woman from his mind standing in front of him.

Chapter 262 The Death of Akaza

At this moment, Akaza felt an unprecedented tranquility welling up from the depths of his heart.

Those past events that he had once forgotten are now slowly unfolding in his consciousness like a scroll.

He remembered his original intention to become stronger.

He finally faced reality: he had already lost everything and had nothing left to protect.

The figure before her gradually overlapped with the one in her memory, and Akaza's lips trembled as she softly uttered the name buried deep in her heart:

"Love Snow..."

In that instant, he suddenly realized the true source of the anger burning within him.

It was anger at himself for failing to keep his promises to his father and lover, and anger at himself for defiling the Su-ryu style of boxing taught by his master with bloodshed.

Regret and self-reproach for the martial arts techniques that should have been used for protection, not killing.
