Demon Slayer: The Naruto Hashira is a pure villain!

"Come closer, why are you standing so far away?"

"What exactly do you want to say?" Ichiro didn't move, standing five steps away from Kaigaku.

This wary look made Kaiyue chuckle.

"You coward, if I really wanted to silence you, you wouldn't be able to escape."

"Tell me, what made you so foolish as to become the Naruto's adopted son?"

"Lord Naruhashi is very strong."

Learning swordsmanship from her will make me stronger, and I will truly be able to protect Muichiro.

Over the course of more than six months, the longer Yuichiro spent learning the Breath of Mist with Muichiro, the more determined he became to learn the Breath of Thunder from Yayoi.

Neither the two basic breathing techniques of Feng Shui nor the Flower Breathing that Miss Butterfly is teaching Kanao are things he can't learn.

Even though Muichiro mentioned more than once that he would protect his brother, Muichiro still couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart.

As an older brother, if you can't stand in front of your younger brother, what's the difference between you and a useless person?

Knowing that Yayoi had a bad temper and was unpredictable, he knew that his good days were almost over after becoming her stepson.

But I had no choice.

Thinking of this, Ichiro raised his head and looked at Kaigaku with a determined look in his eyes: "I will definitely make Lord Naruhashi accept me."

Tsk, another idiot.

Kaigaku's disdain for Ichiro was practically written all over his face.

"Alright, there's no point in talking to someone as dim-witted as you." Kaigaku stood up, supporting himself on his knees, and pointed out the right path for Ichiro.

"Next time you come, don't come empty-handed, bring a basket of peaches."

"Peach? Why?"

"Ask less."

Kaigaku, mimicking Yayoi, tapped Ichiro on the head.

Junior brothers who ask too many questions will not be liked by their senior brothers.

Wait a minute, he'll be the female demon's apprentice in the future, so can he still call me senior brother?

Such a mess of relationships...

As he walked back, Kaigaku tried to sort out the complicated relationships between the group.

Why are you helping me?

No wonder my senior sister found this kid annoying; he talks too much nonsense.

Kaigaku put his hands behind his head, turned his back to Ichiro, and rolled his eyes.

"I didn't help you; whether it works out or not depends on you."

One of Kaigaku's great strengths is his ability to keep his mouth shut. In Yayoi's opinion, another great strength is his ability to read people's expressions.

If it had been Inosuke who stopped Ichiro at that time, after Yayoi said "send him out," Inosuke would have had to charge forward and knock Ichiro down two miles.

The thoughtful secretary, Xiao Kai, was different. She listened carefully to the words and understood what Yayoi meant.

The female demon simply doesn't like Ichiro right now; she hasn't said she hates him.

If you really hate someone, instead of saying "send them out," you should just kick Ichiro out and also kick yourself for failing to stop him.

With multiple stepsons, I'll have less work to do. And when that bastard Zenitsu comes in a few years, I'll officially become a half-slave owner.

Why not?

Desperate measures, the next day Yuichiro arrived carrying a basket of peaches.

Momo stayed, while Ichiro was kicked out.

On the fourth day, Yuichiro came again carrying an even bigger basket of peaches.

Peach stayed, while Ichiro and the basket were kicked out.

"Senior Brother Kaiyue, isn't this a bit off?"

"Don't talk nonsense, you're not even an adopted son yet!" Kaigaku corrected Yuichiro's statement while munching on the peach that Yuichiro had offered.

"Also, my senior sister means that next time we should follow the standard of this basket."

"Oh……"

They continued to come every other day until the tenth day, when the newly forged Nichirin Blade assigned to Ichiro was delivered to Yayoi's base.

Peach, basket, and Ichiro were also left at the camp.

Poor pig, its status has dropped again, and it's one step further away from becoming the boss.

Chapter 116 If you're unwilling to teach, just outsource your stepson.

On his second day in office, before he could even enjoy the preferential treatment given to the stepson of the Naruhashi, Ichiro was dragged away by Yayoi and headed into a remote mountain valley.

Kaigaku was used to this, but Inosuke was a little confused.

I haven't even had a proper fight with this kelp-headed guy yet, how did he get taken away?

Damn it! I'll be a day later than usual to become the boss!

His subordinates were either clueless or unhappy. As a semi-slave owner, Kaigaku was exhausted every day.

"Go, stop whining here. Go water the flowers in the garden today."

Recently, Inosuke's appetite has increased significantly. He can eat and sleep well, and he thinks he has made progress in his training. This has given Inosuke an unwarranted illusion: I can now beat this grumpy black-haired man!

Why should I do the work again?

Upon hearing this, Kaigaku, who had just finished assigning tasks and was about to go to the dojo to practice his swordsmanship for a while, stopped in his tracks.

Turning to look at Inosuke, who was standing there fuming, her expression was unfriendly: "Were you talking to me just now?"

"Otherwise what? Are there any other people here?" Inosuke crossed his arms, pointing the nostrils of his boar mask at Kaigaku, practically swearing on his forehead.

Alright, it seems that this pig intends to start a second revolution, and seems to have an unwarranted misconception about its own strength.

As a senior, how could I just watch him live in his own fantasy world?

Kaigaku couldn't understand why he'd been feeling so uneasy since yesterday. He was the one who pointed Ichiro in the right direction, but seeing that kid with the missing arm become a stepson just like him...

Is this considered jealousy?

Really? What could he possibly have that I'd be jealous of?

All the emotions that Inosuke couldn't understand were ultimately caught by Inosuke, who bumped into the gun barrel.

In the end, Inosuke gained a lot of weight, and Kaigaku threw his boar headgear into the pond.

Inosuke then performed a cold-faced act of washing his underwear, wiping away the blood from his nose, and watering the flowers with an unpleasant expression.

"Just you wait! I will definitely become very, very strong! Sooner or later I will defeat you!"

"What are you muttering about?!" Kaigaku smashed a pebble into the back of Inosuke's head, shattering Inosuke's dream of trampling Kaigaku underfoot.

"No...it's nothing."

Feeling guilty, Inosuke lowered his head and placed his hands on the watering can to water the flowers.

"Let's find another spot, so we don't kill the flowers that Mrs. Shizu worked so hard to plant."

"Oh!" Inosuke seized the opportunity of responding to unleash a small burst of anger.

……

Seeing that they were going further and further astray, even the bolder Ichiro felt a little uneasy. After hesitating for a while, he asked Yayoi:

"Master, where are we going?"

"I'll go sell it for you," Yayoi threatened the child without turning her head.

"..." Ichiro guessed that Yayoi was trying to scare him, and followed up on Yayoi's words, "Could I have a share of the money from the sale?"

"Dream on." Yayoi stopped, placed one hand on Ichiro's head, bent down to close the distance with the stubborn brat, and looked at him with a smile.

"Remember this, you are now my stepson, and I have absolute control over you."

"If I tell you to be a dog, you'll be a dog; if I tell you to be a monkey, you'll be a monkey."

Yuichiro glanced up at the hand pressing down on his head, only able to see a slender wrist.

Silently calculating how much of a chance he could have if he challenged his master at this moment.

Zero points!

All roads lead to the grave, right?

With great insight, Ichiro chose to follow his heart, obediently nodding and responding.

"Oh……"

Following Yayoi, we arrived at the gate of a building that looked very similar to Yayoi's residence.

Yayoi glanced at the small dog hole next to the gate. The door was closed tightly, so it seemed that Muscle Rat and the others had gone on a mission with Tengen.

Since we're already here, let's wait a bit. It would be a waste to go straight back.

Seeing that Yayoi was leaning against a tree and not going any further, Ichiro followed suit and also leaned against a tree.

The master seems to be waiting for someone. Who could be so important that the master would have to wait for them?

Fortunately, Tengen appeared at the end of the mountain path before Yayoi got annoyed and started to hold someone accountable.

"Are you here to see Mu Xu?"

Having just finished a mission and returned to the base in a disheveled state, before he could even let his three beautiful wives know he was safe, Yayoi blocked his way at the base entrance.

"No, I came to see you."

Yayoi took a step to the side, revealing Ichiro behind her.

"Look at my new stepson, isn't he handsome?"

If he didn't answer Yayoi's question, he would definitely not be able to enter the house. Thinking this, Tengen bent down and carefully examined Ichiro's face.
