Anime/Manga: Bankai Starting with Demon Slayer

"Hmm... I'm waiting for that moment, Asuka."

Asuka held the light and warm body in her arms tightly, and amidst the rain of wisteria blossoms and the croaking of fish, she kissed her lips deeply.

Sunlight streamed through the stained glass, casting long, long shadows of the two people, freezing this eternal moment.

In the corner, Lambo and Ippin, their mouths stuffed with dessert, clapped and laughed heartily.

Tsuna stood side by side with his friends, and the applause lasted for a long time.

Amidst shouts of praise and blessings.

This impromptu yet deeply loving small wedding, which took place in the Namimori chapel, has finally come to a slow close.

The setting sun bathed every corner of the church.

And a new journey will begin again, filled with love and hope.

Chapter 861 Last Cross

It was a cool morning.

The peaceful town seemed to be still asleep, but a large crowd had already gathered in front of the wooden gate of Lark's mansion.

After a boisterous wedding, it was time for Asuka and her group to set off.

After calculating, it turns out that because of this special Rainbow Child event, Asuka has been delayed by almost a month from her original departure date.

If we don't leave soon, Kyoraku will be in serious trouble.

The dew still clung to the bamboo leaves in the courtyard, and the morning breeze brought a refreshing coolness.

Asuka changed into a sleek shihaka outfit, the black robe billowing in the wind.

Shinobu Kocho stood beside him, a serene smile on her face, her eyes reflecting the noisy yet incredibly genuine group of people before her.

Neonmu stood quietly in the back, while Yugi Muto carried large and small bags, all of which were local specialties he had bought from Namimori Town. His expression showed both reluctance to leave this world and longing for his hometown.

"Waaaaah—Don't go! Lord Lambo, you can't let that idiot Asuka go!"

Lambo pounced on Asuka like a ball of flesh, clinging tightly to her leg.

Tears and snot mingled together and were unceremoniously wiped on Asuka's clean trouser legs.

"If you all leave, who will play with Lord Lambo! Waaaaah, Asuka is such a big idiot!"

Asuka and Shinobu exchanged a glance and sighed helplessly.

Looking at this stubborn little thing hanging on my leg, I was wondering whether to use a clever trick to lift him up or to give him a piece of candy to coax him.

Before he could make a move, a small figure in a red mandarin jacket rushed out from the corner of the corridor like a whirlwind.

"Rambo! Don't cause trouble for Mr. Asuka!"

Bang! !

I-Ping executed a powerful roundhouse kick in mid-air, landing a blow to the back of Lambo's head.

Lambo, who had just been shamelessly clinging to Asuka's leg, instantly transformed into a parabola.

With a mournful cry that seemed to be forced to endure, it plunged headfirst into the bushes in the corner of the courtyard.

Ippei landed steadily, clasped his hands together, bowed respectfully to Asuka and Shinobu, and said in broken Japanese, "Mr. Asuka, Ms. Shinobu, Ippei will miss you! Have a safe journey!"

Shinobu Kocho reached out and ruffled Ippei's hair: "Thank you, Ippei. You'd better keep an eye on that little cow."

Lambo's farce actually lessened the sadness of parting quite a bit.

The Vongola Guardians also came forward one by one, bidding farewell in their own unique ways to this friend who had crossed the world and fought alongside them.

Gokudera Hayato bowed deeply to Asuka: "Mr. Asuka! From now on, no matter what trouble you encounter, just ask, and I, Gokudera Hayato, will be there!"

Yamamoto Takeshi, munching on rice balls nearby, mumbled in, "Well, Gokudera, you're too serious. Asuka-san isn't the kind of person who needs help from others, is he?"

He swallowed what was in his mouth and gave Asuka a hearty laugh: "But if anything really fun happens, remember to call me!"

"Limits—!!" Ryouhei suddenly raised his arms and roared to the sky, "Asuka! No matter which world you're in, you must live to the limit!"

"Your wedding was absolutely fantastic! Your future will definitely be incredibly happy! If you ever encounter any insurmountable obstacles, just smash them with your fists!"

"It's so noisy, you herbivores."

A cold voice came from the shadows of the porch.

Hibari Kyoya crossed his arms over his chest, his phoenix eyes slightly narrowed as he scanned the swarm of birds, then turned to look at the birds.

He walked up to the bird and handed it a badge from his pocket.

"What is this?" Asuka asked in confusion.

"A permanent pass issued by the Namimori Town Disciplinary Committee," Hibari said expressionlessly. "You can come back whenever you want; there will be no restrictions."

"...Thank you, Chairman."

Just then, a soft voice rang out.

"Mr. Death..."

Chrome walked out with somewhat hurried steps, her eyes brimming with grateful tears: "I really... thank you so much."

She walked up to Asuka and bowed deeply: "You not only healed my missing internal organs, giving me a truly healthy body... but you also allowed me to stand here with everyone as a complete person..."

"I will never forget this kindness."

Asuka looked at the girl in front of her, who had once been so fragile that she would break at the slightest touch.

She now has a rosy complexion and steady breathing, and no longer needs to rely on illusions to maintain her vital signs.

Asuka said gently, "This is not only my power, but also your own strong will to live. Enjoy your life, Chrome."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chrome's aura changed.

Indigo mist rose from beneath her feet and swirled around her.

When she looked up again, her face had changed to that of a man.

“Kuhuhuhu..…”

Rokudo Mukuro briefly descended into the mortal world through Chrome's body: "Bon voyage, King of Hell."

Um... no matter how many times I watch it, this scene always feels very strange...

The last one to step forward was the core of the Vongola family, Sawada Tsunayoshi.

This once useless good-for-nothing has finally transformed into a strong-willed man after experiencing so many adventures.

He walked up to Asuka and Shinobu Kocho, bowed deeply, and thanked them loudly: "Mr. Asuka, Ms. Kocho!"

"I really... I'm so grateful to you all!" Tsuna sobbed, his nose stuffy. "If it weren't for you, Lambo and I might have died in that other world long ago..."

"I...I don't know how to repay you, but I will always remember you!"

"Mr. Bird, Ms. Butterfly, you must be happy forever!"

Seeing Tsuna's tearful face, Shinobu Kocho felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

She stepped forward, gently wiped the tears from A-Gan's face with a handkerchief, and whispered, "Thank you, A-Gan. You are already a very outstanding leader. Have confidence in yourself."

The girls behind A-Gang were already sobbing uncontrollably.

Kyoko's eyes were red, and she clasped her hands together in front of her chest to hold back her tears, while Koharu had already been crying her eyes out.

Bianchi stepped forward and gave Shinobu Kocho a gentle hug: "Take care, and don't let your man bully you. If he dares to treat you badly, teach him a lesson with your poison."

Shinobu Kocho chuckled softly and nodded: "I will, Miss Bianchi."

At the back of the crowd, a tall, slender figure slowly walked forward.

That was Reborn in his adult form.

Without that cursed infant body, Reborn now stands tall and walks with a steady gait, exuding the captivating charm of the world's number one assassin in every gesture.

He walked up to the bird, took off his top hat, placed it on his left breast, and bowed slightly.

"Mr. Death, on behalf of all the Rainbow Children, I must once again express our deepest gratitude to you..."

“You broke the curse that had bound us for decades, allowing us to reclaim our own lives... This kindness cannot be measured in any language.”

His dark, deep eyes gazed at the bird: "My gun is ready to answer your call at any time."

"I hope that one day in the future, if there is an opportunity, you can come back here as a guest... When that time comes, I will treat you to the best espresso."

Asuka looked at the legendary assassin who had been given a new lease on life and replied with a smile, "Alright, kid."

"But I don't know whether you were reincarnated into the Soul Society first, or I got here first."

Reborn smiled and put his hat back on: "Have a safe journey..."

All the farewell words had been spoken, but the moment of parting had finally arrived.

Asuka took a deep breath and turned to look at Yugi Muto beside her: "Yugi, are you ready?"

The game nodded, revealing the Millennium Puzzle on its chest.

The inverted pyramid-shaped pure gold artifact gleamed brilliantly in the sunlight, and an ancient and mysterious aura began to permeate the air.

Asuka closed her eyes, extending her senses along the aura emanating from the Millennium Piece...

Crossing the endless void and chaos, to capture the world coordinates that belong to Domino City.

"Found it...."

The bird suddenly opened its eyes and slashed its sword finger fiercely at the void in front of it.

scoff-

A three-meter-high portal, its edges crackling with golden-red flames and swirling dark purple spatial currents, suddenly appeared before the crowd.

On the other side of the door, the faint sounds of modern city noise and the distinct atmosphere of a completely different realm could be heard.

The bird turned around and took one last look at these familiar faces.

"Well then, everyone," Asuka smiled slightly and waved casually, "Until we meet again."

"Take care!" she cried out.

Asuka took Shinobu's hand, and with Nemu silently nodding and Yugi Muto full of excitement, she turned and stepped into the bizarre and fantastical rift in time and space without any hesitation.

As their figures completely disappeared into the light behind the door, the fissure burning with flames began to shrink rapidly.

With a loud bang.

The gate to time and space was completely closed, leaving only a faint trace of warmth in the original place.

A-Gang gazed at the empty courtyard and sighed with a sense of loss.

But in his heart, that bond that transcends the world will never disappear.

Chapter 862 The King's Hometown

Traveling through the chaotic currents of time and space is already second nature to birds today.

With the Millennium Blocks serving as precise anchor points, this crossover leap was exceptionally smooth.

However, after a brief moment of weightlessness, an exit appeared in the chaos ahead.

scoff-

A rift in time and space quietly opened in a secluded alley in Domino City.

With a slight ripple of air, the four birds landed steadily on the asphalt road.

At this moment, the sun was setting, bathing the entire city in a golden-red hue.

In the distance, the towering Haima Group building reflects a dazzling light in the setting sun.

Before my eyes, the sounds of car horns, trams rumbling past, and the clamor of commuters could be heard from the road.

This bustling, modern urban atmosphere is completely different from the tranquil town of Namimori, and even more so from the atmosphere of Soul Society.

"I'm back... I'm really back!"

Yugi Muto looked at the familiar streets around him and jumped up excitedly.

He stroked the red brick wall beside him, took a deep breath of the air that belonged to his hometown, and the loneliness of being a wanderer in a foreign land finally vanished at that moment.

"Stop daydreaming, game." Asuka patted him on the shoulder. "Hurry up and lead the way, your family must be getting impatient."

"Okay! Everyone, please follow me!" Yu Xi wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and ran ahead.
