Demon Slayer: The Naruto Hashira is a pure villain!

After Muichiro left, the ward was deathly silent.

Neither of them spoke first.

After waiting for a long time without hearing anything from Yayoi, Ichiro finally lost his patience and asked, "What other nonsense do you have to say?"

There's something I don't understand.

"what?"

Are you an idiot?

Yayoi's face was full of sincerity, and Ichiro thought he was hallucinating for a moment.

How could anyone use such a sincere tone to utter such foul language?

Yi Lang opened and closed his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Yayoi continued her steady delivery, saying, "They say people strive for higher positions and water flows downhill, so why do you insist on dragging your brother down with you?"

"To be a poor woodcutter for life?"

"What if the government issues a logging ban one day, and you two brothers starve to death on the mountain?"

“That’s still better than making Muichiro do something so dangerous,” Yuichiro insisted stubbornly.

“Ah, right, right,” Yayoi said with a grin, hitting Ichiro right where it hurts, “You’ll be safe if you lead him back up the mountain. If you encounter another ghost, you still have your right hand, you can block it for him once more.”

"..."

"Why aren't you saying anything, Yuichiro? Don't you like talking?" Yayoi continued to provoke Yuichiro.

Yuichiro stood silently in place, his mind in turmoil.

The madman in front of me was indeed talking nonsense, but his words, though crude, were not without reason.

This time, she happened to be passing by, which saved her and Muichiro's lives.

What about next time?

Having encountered a ghost once, Ichiro could no longer deceive himself into believing that such an unlucky thing as encountering a ghost would not happen to him or Muichiro.

I don't want Muichiro to do such dangerous things, but excessive protection leaves Muichiro without the means to deal with danger. Is this really protection for him?

"What are you thinking about, bro? Say something."

Ichiro looked up at Yayoi and asked, "If you only have one arm left, can you become a Demon Slayer swordsman?"

Yayoi didn't answer Ichiro. Instead, she pinched her nose and repeated Ichiro's words from a few minutes earlier in a sarcastic tone:

"Say what you will~, I didn't shamelessly ask the Demon Slayer Corps to take me in~"

Yuichiro's face turned bright red instantly, and his teeth ground together.

“Whether I can or not is not up to me,” Yayoi shrugged and suggested to Ichiro, “How about this, you come out with me for a while, and then you can make a decision when we get back.”

Despite saying it was a discussion, as soon as the words left his mouth, Ichiro was already lifted off the ground by Yayoi.

"Kanae, this brat insists on coming with me to patrol the area. We won't be back for dinner."

Muichiro, who was still helping Kanzaki Aoi start a fire and cook, peeked out from the kitchen, but could only see Yayoi and Ichiro disappear as tiny black dots at the gate.

As expected of a deity, he persuaded my brother so quickly.

Muichiro returned to the kitchen with considerable peace of mind and continued to help watch the fire.

Holding him like a kitten, Ichiro followed Yayoi to Fujikasane Mountain.

"Are you trying to kill me?" Ichiro looked up at Yayoi and asked.

"If I really wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have needed to go to such great lengths."

Yayoi threw Ichiro onto the tree. If Ichiro hadn't grabbed the trunk and saved himself, he would have been eleven years old today.

"Don't move, watch carefully."

As she spoke, Yayoi took out a syringe filled with blood from her pocket and smeared the blood onto her Nichirin Blade.

Any product from Shimi is guaranteed to be of high quality.

Before long, several hungry ghosts came crawling over, drawn by the smell.

Appetite overcame reason, and these demons completely forgot their fear of being dominated by Yayoi.

He raised his left hand high towards Ichiro, who was sitting in the tree, and then put his left hand behind his back.

The one-armed heroine Yayoi has officially launched.

As the most impatient demon was almost within reach, his claws nearly touching Yayoi, Ichiro's heart clenched.

"careful!"

"Who? You mean him?"

Almost in the blink of an eye, Yayoi, who was originally about to be slaughtered, had already trampled the demon under her feet.

"This is without the Nichirin Blade."

As Yayoi spoke, she raised her foot and stomped it, causing the demon beneath her foot to let out a miserable howl.

He was then kicked far away by Yayoi like a rag doll, smashing into a tree and breaking it.

One of the great benefits of learning Thunder Breathing is that it gives you strength in your legs.

Upon seeing this, the two ghosts in the distance seemed to remember something, and they both took a half step back, looking at Yayoi in terror.

"This is under the condition of having a Nichirin sword."

With his right hand resting on the hilt of the sword on his left hip, he drew the Nichirin Blade out a small section in advance.

"Thunder Breathing - First Form: Thunderclap Flash!"

A flash of light, and two ghosts lay on the ground, cut in half at the waist.

The two demons were indeed slow to recover, and Yayoi had no patience to wait for them to recover. She turned to look at Ichiro in the tree.

"So what if it's just one hand?"

"A truly awesome person is awesome even if they only have one hand."

"Even if a piece of trash has all four limbs intact, he's still trash."

Yuichiro listened in a daze, his worldview being refreshed.

This guy... is amazing.

Ichiro swallowed hard, looked at Yayoi who was sheathing her sword with one hand, and asked:

"Can I learn swordsmanship from you?"

Chapter 112. Does Mr. Ganlu Temple like the bandit-style social etiquette?

"Learn from me? How can you be so greedy? You want it all."

Ultimately, Yayoi refused Ichiro's request, citing her unwillingness to support a cripple who was just freeloading.

"Don't look so sullen. Wait until you successfully pass the final selection and prove yourself to be even slightly useful before you become my stepson."

After throwing Ichiro back into the Butterfly Mansion, Yayoi left without looking back.

As for what happened to the two brothers later, Yayoi mostly heard about it from Kanae. The two little rascals were indeed promising. Muichiro graduated from the Breath of Mist training school two months after recovering from his injuries, and was just waiting for the final selection held every six months.

He is a renowned genius swordsman.

Ichiro rejected Kanae's suggestion, not wanting to become a hidden figure helping out at the Butterfly Mansion, and insisted on becoming a swordsman.

"I really don't know what you said to Ichiro that night. Not only did he agree to let Muichiro stay in the Demon Slayer Corps, but he also insisted on learning the same breathing technique as you." Kanae said, sighing helplessly.

"It's all because of my damn personal charm~" Yayoi wouldn't miss any opportunity to boast.

"So, he ended up learning Thunder Breathing?"

"No, at present, the only person who has mastered the Breath of Thunder is Lord Kuwajima. He is too far from the headquarters. Ichiro didn't want to be separated from Muichiro for so long, so he gave up."

Yayoi felt a slight regret; she was just a little short of having another servant by pinching him.

"So what did Ichiro learn in the end?"

Yayoi was curious; besides Thunder Breathing, which focuses on leg strength and speed, what other breathing technique could that brat learn?

"I went to learn the Breath of Mist with Muichiro, but it was a bit difficult to learn."

"Oh~" Yayoi said dismissively.

You can tell that the little brat is incredibly tough on himself; he's definitely going to make a name for himself.

"Okay, we're here." Kanae reached out and pulled Yayoi, who was still trying to keep walking forward, and pointed to the door next to her.

"So fast?"

Yayoi stopped and looked up at the tall gate in front of her, following Kanae.

"Wow~ with such high walls, if that nouveau riche from Ganlu Temple took two steps, his gold bricks would probably fall to the ground!"

“Be careful what you say, Yayoi, after all, we are the ones who need your help.”

Kanae didn't quite understand her lord's thought process. Anyone with eyes could see that Yayoi's success in recruiting the Tokito brothers last time was clearly just pure luck.

One of the brothers is easily fooled, while the other is stubborn.

That's why he agreed to stay with the Demon Slayer Corps.

But the lord actually believed Yayoi's nonsense, thinking she was a very mature persuader. This time, when he came to recruit Kanroji, who had a special physique according to the intelligence, the lord even wanted to bring Yayoi with him, saying that it might have a miraculous effect.

Let's hope so...

Kanae prayed silently in her heart.

"That's true. Kidnapping someone's daughter to sell her life, how can it not be considered a betrayal of that person?"

"..." Prayer failed, and Kanae no longer had any expectations for Yayoi's mouth.

"Please promise me something, okay?"

"what?"

"Don't say too much once you're inside."
