Become a god by AFK starting from Naruto

This deep affection deeply moved Xingliu.

So he subconsciously smiled, conveying goodwill to these souls.

However, the others could not see the soul that Xingliu saw, and they mistakenly thought that the smile was directed at them.

With the explanations from Minato and Kyojuro, they all put away their swords and expressed their sincerity and friendliness to Seiryu and the others.

At the same time, the souls around them were all stunned.

They stared at Xingliu in disbelief, seemingly astonished that he could see them and extend goodwill to them.

This unexpected discovery deeply shocked these souls and sparked a greater interest and curiosity in stellar flow.

Chapter 269 Showing Off a Little Skill

The misunderstanding was cleared up, and Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled and invited Hoshiru to take his seat.

He briefly outlined the details of his previous discussions with Minato to Seiryu, and upon learning that the decision-making power was now in Minato's hands, he engaged in another in-depth discussion with Minato.

Meanwhile, Xingliu was dealing with those souls.

The souls all showed expressions of surprise and delight upon realizing that Xingliu could see them.

They elected Shinobu Kocho's older sister, Kanao Kocho, as their representative to speak with Seiryu.

Amidst the fervent anticipation of countless souls, the girl with black hair, purple eyes, and a pink-edged emerald green butterfly hair clip walked like a gentle breeze to Xingliu's side.

In a gentle, delicate voice, she asked softly, "My lord, can you truly sense our presence?"

Xingliu nodded slightly, replying noncommittally, "I wonder what matters you wish to discuss with me?"

His words delighted many souls, but left the nine pillars present looking puzzled.

They couldn't see the existence of souls, so when Xingliu suddenly spoke to an empty corner, it filled them with doubt.

However, the Flame Pillar seemed to have thought of something.

His face lit up with joy, his eyes gleaming brightly: "Lord Xingliu! Did you see a soul in this room?"

As a witness who saw Komaji and Koyuki disappear together, he learned about the existence of Seiryu from Minato.

He learned that Xingliu was an unparalleled powerhouse, possessing strength beyond his comprehension.

Therefore, he firmly believed in the miraculous power of starfall to make the soul manifest.

And this scene now undoubtedly confirms his conjecture—the star is communicating with the soul.

This is precisely why he was so excited, since these souls could very well be the incarnations of their deceased loved ones.

His words immediately drew the attention of the others, most of whom stared at Kyojuro in disbelief, seemingly not believing what he was saying.

However, Xingliu readily admitted to all of this.

He gazed at the expectant eyes of the many souls in the room, and then decisively waved his hand, revealing them all.

For him, it was just a simple favor.

As Xingliu made this move, the transparent figures of numerous soul entities gradually solidified and appeared one by one before everyone's eyes.

When Kyojuro saw his mother appear before him, he was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter and excitedly called out, "Mother!"

Ruka looked at him tenderly and said softly, "Kyojuro, you really did it. I'm so proud of you."

Meanwhile, Shinobu Kocho looked at the familiar figure before her and was momentarily dazed.

Only when this figure walked right up to her did her tears begin to flow uncontrollably.

"Sister? Sister... Sister!!"

She called out repeatedly, and finally, overwhelmed with emotion, threw herself into Kanao's arms and burst into tears.

Kanao gently stroked Shinobu's hair and said tenderly, "Thank you for your hard work, Shinobu."

Her words only made Shinobu cry even harder.

Beside Himejima Gyomei, the largest number of souls appeared.

What is remarkable is that all of these souls are in the form of children.

Although Xingming cannot see them, his perception is beyond that of ordinary people.

This keen perception, however, made him tremble slightly at this moment.

Because he clearly sensed some familiar scents, the scents of the children he once deeply loved.

It is also something that he has never been able to let go of.

"Big Brother Xingming, we all know it wasn't your fault," a childish voice said softly.

“Yes, yes, don’t blame Sadie anymore. She was just scared and that’s why she said the wrong thing,” another child chimed in.

"We are all very grateful to you, Brother Xingming."

More voices joined in, each word filled with genuine emotion.

As Xingming listened to the children's words, tears streamed down his face.

His hands trembled as he clasped them together, softly chanting, "Amitabha..."

Among the others present, the figures they deeply missed were also seen to varying degrees.

At that moment, the entire room was filled with warmth and emotion, and the air was filled with an indescribable warmth and sadness.

Of course, there are also some people on the field who do not have a soul companion, and Kanroji Mitsuri is one of them.

Her reason for joining the Demon Slayer Corps was completely different from others; she did not have any deep hatred for demons.

She was simply a woman who longed to find a husband stronger than herself, someone who could protect her.

Seeing that Xingliu could do this so easily, she was naturally intrigued.

So, while everyone else was busy communicating with their loved ones' souls, she secretly observed the star flow.

Xingliu's perception was incredibly sharp; he noticed Kanroji Mitsuri the moment she started peeking.

However, after discovering it was her, he chose to pretend he didn't know.

Seiryu's attitude emboldened Kanroji Mitsuri, and her gaze became increasingly unrestrained.

Moreover, the more she watched, the stronger her affection for Xingliu became.

After all, as a member of the Uchiha clan, and with his multiple evolutions at the level of life, Xingliu's charm is irresistible.

In this era, women like Kanroji Mitsuri, who have the freedom to choose love, would naturally not be satisfied with merely admiring from afar.

So, Kanroji Mitsuri gradually approached Seiryu until she stood beside him.

When the other eight pillars refocused their attention on the field, they were surprised to find that Ganroji and Seiryu were already having a pleasant conversation.

When Obanai the Serpent Pillar saw this scene, his face first turned gloomy, but then his expression darkened.

He knew that Seiryu's strength was unfathomable, and besides, Seiryu had just allowed them to see their long-missed relatives, which was already a great favor to the Demon Slayer Corps.

Moreover, Kanroji Mitsuri approached Seiryu willingly, so he could only respect her choice.

Meanwhile, Kagaya Ubuyashiki did not pay much attention to this little incident.

As the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, he shouldn't interfere in matters of personal feelings.

Compared to that, the ability that Xingliu had just displayed was more likely to attract his attention.

In his view, Xingliu's ability to achieve this level undoubtedly made him far more powerful than Minato and the others.

If Seiryu were willing to eliminate Muzan, it would be a shot in the arm for the Demon Slayer Corps.

However, just as he was about to make this request, Xingliu seemed to read his mind and spoke first:

"Killing Muzan is a test for Minato and the others. I will not intervene unless they fail."

Chapter 270 Yoshihara's Trip to Guo (Part 1)

Upon hearing Xingliu's words, the entire scene fell silent.

Yaozai gave a helpless, bitter smile and said earnestly, "Sir, are you really unable to lend a helping hand? We are willing to pay any price!"

Xingliu calmly replied, "You have underestimated Minato and the others' strength, and you have also underestimated your own potential."

"Don't worry, as long as no unexpected events occur, they are fully capable of passing the test of killing Muzan."

Seeing that Xingliu's attitude was resolute, Yaozai knew that there was no point in saying anything more, so he could only sigh and accept reality.

After the matter was resolved, the others bowed to Xingxing to express their gratitude: "Thank you for your kindness, sir, which has eased our longing."

Xingliu waved his hand gently, indicating that they didn't need to be polite; it was just a small favor for him.

Just then, a member of the Demon Slayer Corps rushed over.

Although he covered most of his face with a mask, you could still feel the urgency in his anxious eyes.

Without being informed, he rushed directly to Kagaya and said urgently, "My lord, it's an emergency! I have an urgent report to share with you!"

Kagaya raised his hand to signal Sanemi to calm down, then calmly said to the members of the Hidden Sect, "Don't rush, tell us slowly and tell us the details."

The hidden member took a deep breath, trying to calm his rapid breathing, and then continued:

"According to our intelligence, an Upper Moon demon is roaming Yoshiwara and has taken thousands of innocent people hostage."

They demanded we hand over a female demon named Nezuko, or they would kill the hostages.

His words caused the pillars present to frown.

The number of thousands of hostages was an incredibly difficult challenge for them.

Even if they act together, there's no guarantee that these people won't suffer any casualties.

Moreover, compromising with the demons is a difficult choice for these pillars.

Tanjiro originally thought he was just a bystander at the Pillars meeting.

Little did he expect that this trouble would directly affect him.

Upon hearing what the hidden member said, he instinctively gripped the suitcase carrying his sister on his back tightly, his face showing a mixture of anger and conflict.

He knew that the lives of thousands of people were now hanging over his sister, which plunged this kind-hearted man into a deep struggle.

Minato and the others looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

Given the ninja's style of doing things, he might choose to use those thousand people as bait to annihilate those evil spirits in one fell swoop.
