Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

The same applies to ultraviolet light. Although simple experiments showed that ordinary ultraviolet flashlights had no effect on demons, the magical artifacts against vampires in the JOJO world seemed to have lost their effectiveness, as if times had changed.

However, when the ultraviolet flashlight is enhanced by Aja's redstone, its light is like laser cutting to the demons, and it can still work. My lord, the times have changed again.

A shimmering red light blurred the line between life and death.

"Kamado Tanjuro, open your eyes." A booming voice, like the sound of a great bell, echoed in his mind; it was the call of the gods.

Tanjuro Kamado frowned slightly, his eyelids twitching.

"Your family needs you." Upon hearing the word "family," Tanjuro Kamado suddenly opened his eyes and stood up instantly.

However, all he could see was red light, and he was standing on some indescribable, strange substance.

"Where am I...?" Kamado Tanjuro asked, somewhat confused. "Wasn't I already dead?"

"That's right, you were dead, but I have resurrected you." A huge phantom filled the entire space. The moment Kamado Tanjuro saw Him, he instinctively realized that this was a genuine god, and a great god of the underworld who controlled life and death.

"Thank you, Lord God." Kamado Tanjuro was initially shocked, but he quickly accepted the situation. After all, his family believed in gods and held festivals. Every year at the beginning of the year, he would dance a festival dance, dancing in the snow all day long in the dead of winter.

Then, he was confused again. The Kamado family had been worshipping the fire god for generations, so why would the god of the underworld grant him resurrection? "Because you are the closest user of the Breath of the Sun to Yoriichi Tsugikuni in the past four hundred years, and you are also the strongest human in this era."

Chapter 407 The Strongest Human

As a research ninja, Hiruko thoughtfully explained that he had a strong interest in this special physique and breathing technique.

"No, you must be mistaken about the strongest human. I was just an ordinary charcoal seller, and I was even plagued by a chronic illness. My health was always weak, and I died of illness in my bed at a young age."

Tanjuro Kamado asked in confusion, "As for the Sun Breathing you mentioned, could it be referring to Hinokami Kagura?"

Having fathered a son like the Head Pillar, Tanjuro is naturally a gentle and honest man, not someone who is inexplicably arrogant.

With a casual gesture, Hiruko made Tanjuro Kamado understand the connection between the Breath of the Sun and the Kamado clan.

"I can't be wrong, you have to believe in yourself."

Some people may look frail, but they have extraordinary explosive power. You are such a person, Tanjuro.

You are qualified to be my research subject.

Hiruko said calmly that as a research ninja, he valued Tanjuro's potential and worth. "Your son, Kamado Tanjiro, possesses extraordinary gentleness and a special sense of smell. He can even detect hidden emotions in others, making him very suitable to become a messenger of the underworld who guides the souls of the dead."

"And your daughter, Nezuko Kamado, has the potential to become the next Demon King. I have high hopes for her."

"As for your family members who were killed, I have already resurrected them. They are just outside this space, currently helping to manage the courtyard of Baiyulou. You will see them when you go out later," Hiruko said leisurely.

Like Kanae Kocho, Tanjuro Kamado was also reborn through the chakra fruit. He is currently inside the fruit and will soon break through the fruit's skin like a gourd falling to the ground to be reborn.

As for the Breath of the Sun, the Marked Mark, and the Transparent Realm, Hiruko has already collected data by analyzing Tanjuro Kamado's corpse and soul.

He has already fully mastered these interesting powers, but if he wants to refine them so that ordinary people can master them without risking their lives, he needs to think about it for a while longer before incorporating these powers into the new version of the Immortal Dao Manual.

The reason why Hiruko treated Kamado Tanjuro so well was because analyzing this person would essentially gather all the mainstream special powers of humanity in this world, which would greatly benefit his scientific research.

"I understand, Lord God, I will do my best." Kamado Tanjuro tacitly agreed with Hiruko's words. After all, the gods had resurrected him and his family, and such a great favor could only be repaid with his life and a vow of loyalty.

"Water Breathing - Form of Picking Up - Life Flows!" On the open ground beside the waterfall, Tanjiro Kamado brandished his sword, spinning and tumbling like a dragon, drawing a water dragon from the nearby stream, which circled around him as he danced.

If we don't count the eleventh form created by Giyu Tomioka himself, this is the final sword form of Water Breathing.

When a swordsman uses the Flow of Life technique, the more times they spin, the more powerful their slashes become.

In theory, as long as one's body and the knife in one's hand can withstand the force, one can continuously strengthen the slash by rotating.

So don't stop! As long as you keep spinning and don't get choked by the Leaf Village's Dancing King, Uchiha Madara, during the dance battle, your next attack will definitely be even more powerful.

This is undoubtedly an extremely special sword technique. In the eyes of Hiruko, the scientific research ninja, although it may be interrupted during the battle, the wisdom of its energy application is worth learning and can be used to develop other martial arts.

After reviving Kanae Kocho, Hiruko knew all about her abilities, including Flower Breathing, Water Breathing (the prototype of Flower Breathing), and Sun Breathing, which she had also learned from Tanjuro.

Sword techniques are derived from breathing techniques, so Hiruko was quite proficient in these breathing techniques and sword forms.

Tanjiro is still somewhat unfamiliar with this sword style and needs to practice diligently to master the ultimate sword technique of Water Breathing.

Suddenly, a man named Tanjuro Kamado, with a high ponytail and a wood-chopping axe hanging from his waist, looking like a woodcutter, was suspended above the rushing waterfall.

"Tanjiro." Kamado Tanjuro saw his son and showed a very gentle expression, a huge weight finally lifted from his heart.

He knew that Tanjiro Kamado was undergoing rigorous training every day at Mount Sagiri, diligently honing his Water Breathing swordsmanship.

He also knew that his daughter Nezuko had been suppressing her cannibalistic instincts after becoming a demon, eventually falling into a deep sleep and experiencing a decline in her intelligence.

Therefore, after obtaining Hiruko's consent, he left the underworld, wanting to find his son Tanjiro and daughter Nezuko and reunite the family.

"Dad...Dad?!"

Tanjiro, who was dancing, suddenly caught sight of his long-dead father. He was shocked, and then his sword and footwork became chaotic. He fell into the stream with a splash and became a drowned rat.

"Why? Dad, aren't you... Am I dreaming?" Tanjiro was pulled out of the water by his father, his mind still a little dazed. He wondered if he was hallucinating from overexertion during training or if he was just daydreaming.

"No, this is reality. It's just that I've been resurrected. It's all thanks to the gods." Tanjiro said kindly. "You've had a hard year, Tanjiro."

"God? What on earth is going on?" Tanjiro Kamado remained completely bewildered.

His nose was very sensitive. If this wasn't a dream, why did his father's scent seem different from before? But he couldn't detect any signs of lying; everything he said seemed to be the truth.

"This is a long story, but I have plenty of time to explain it to you slowly..." Kamado Tanjuro stroked Tanjiro's head and then began to explain very patiently.

Tanjiro did not resist Tanjuro's pat on the head and listened very patiently. His nose had an almost mystical ability that could be used to detect lies. If someone was lying, he could immediately tell.

Therefore, he eventually came to the conclusion that this person really was his father, that everything was real, that the resurrection was real, and that the existence of the gods was real.

"That's great! So, does that mean Mom, Takeo, Shigeru, Rokuta, and Hanako have all been resurrected by the gods?! And Nezuko is saved now!"

Tanjiro excitedly hugged his father. Only those who have experienced the pain of losing a beloved family member can understand how excited and joyful Tanjiro was now.

"Thank you, God!" Tanjiro knelt down after releasing his father, as if all the emotions that had been pent up for a long time were released in an instant. He smiled and happily shed tears.

Tanjiro has always been searching for a way to restore his sister Nezuko's health. Even his initial motivation for joining the Demon Slayer Corps was not revenge, but to increase Nezuko's chances of recovery.

In his eyes, Nezuko was just sick; she was still the same kind and gentle girl he always was, so he had to protect this last remaining family member no matter what.

However, Nezuko has recently fallen into a deep sleep and cannot be woken up no matter what he does, which worries him greatly.

Now, upon suddenly learning that all his relatives had been resurrected, and upon hearing from his father that the gods had agreed to help heal Nezuko, he was naturally overjoyed.

"Dad, I'll go prepare the wooden box to shield Nezuko from the light right away. Oh, and before we leave, we need to have a proper talk with Mr. Urokodaki..."

Tanjiro excitedly grabbed his father's hand, about to walk towards the wooden house where he, his sister, and Sakonji Urokodaki lived, but suddenly his mood turned somber. "If Nezuko and I leave like this, Mr. Urokodaki will be very lonely."

During his time with Urokodaki Sakonji, the kind-hearted Tanjiro had long regarded him as his family and elder.

"No, Mr. Urokodaki always has so many children who love him by his side, how could he be lonely?" Kamado Tanjuro gently rubbed his son's head, looking at the dozen or so wandering spirits in the mountains, and couldn't help but sigh. As a civil servant of the underworld, how could he not even see souls?

With Tanjuro's help, Tanjiro also saw the children wearing masks. Thinking of his master Urokodaki, he said uncertainly, "Could they be...?" Tanjiro hadn't been at Mount Sagiri for very long. Urokodaki Sakonji hadn't asked him to cut that huge rock yet, and Sabito hadn't offered to help his junior brother with sparring. So Tanjiro didn't recognize them.

"They should be like you, disciples of that Urokodaki-sensei, deeply attached to him, and even after death, they did not go to the underworld to be reincarnated," Kamado Tanjuro explained, then suddenly fell silent.

Feelings are two-way. Since these children love Urokodaki Sakonji so much, then Urokodaki Sakonji must also love these children deeply. But all these children are dead... Tanjiro is right. Urokodaki Sakonji is indeed very lonely, and there must be a great sadness hidden in his heart.

These children are all disciples of Urokodaki Sakonji, so they are all reserve soldiers for the Demon Slayer Corps. Most of the deaths of demon slayers are related to demons.

The thought that these children were so young, about the same age as Tanjiro, had died at the hands of demons, or even possibly been devoured alive, and that they had endured unimaginable suffering, made him feel sad and heavy-hearted.

He suddenly wanted to do something for these children; it would be too unfair if only their family could be happy.

Tanjuro Kamado walked towards the group of spirits, but the children all took a few steps back and looked at him warily, which puzzled Tanjuro.

Finally, after some discussion, the children realized that retreating wasn't a solution. So, the boy with the most solidified soul and medium-length flesh-colored hair cautiously approached and asked, "Is Mr. Kamado here to take us to the underworld?"

Tanjuro suddenly realized that these children had also overheard his conversation with his son and knew that he came from the underworld, or even that he was a messenger of the underworld. It was only natural that they were afraid of being taken back to the underworld by him and never seeing their master again.

"No, I didn't originally intend to, but I thought perhaps you could come with me to the Underworld..."

Seeing the boy suddenly take a few steps back, Tanjuro Kamado quickly said, "If you see the God, perhaps you will all have a chance to be resurrected and accompany Mr. Urokodaki again in your flesh and blood."

Moreover, even if I don't arrest you, the Supreme God won't allow your souls to remain in the mortal realm any longer. At that time..."

Tanjuro's statement wasn't unfounded. The Underworld, having just undergone renovations, was in dire need of civil servants. It seems that Hiruko, this research ninja, once jokingly mentioned to Kanae Kocho that he wanted to establish some kind of Gotei 13 in the Underworld for fun.

He has already set his sights on the children of the Demon Slayer Corps' Butterfly Mansion and will bring them to the Underworld in the future. They will then be managed by Kanae as members of the Medical Division, and these children with swordsmanship skills will have a high probability of being trained.

Even if this path is blocked, the Supreme God has opened a peculiar dimensional mall where almost any wish can be fulfilled as long as the corresponding price is paid, including resurrection, and it even supports credit.

So at worst, he can take on some debt. Anyway, he's already planning to spend his whole life repaying the gods' kindness. He's working for the gods anyway, so this little bit of debt is nothing.

"Really? Mr. Kamado really didn't lie to us?" the girl with the fox mask on the side of her head asked, and all the other children's eyes were filled with anticipation.

"Really, you are all Tanjiro's seniors, I would never lie to you," Kamado Tanjuro said sincerely.

Tanjuro Kamado returned to the underworld, bringing back his children, along with the spirits of the former Water Pillar Sakonji Urokodaki and his disciples.

Looking at this large group of people, Beiluhu did not make things difficult for them, but instead smiled and agreed to these workers who had come to him of their own accord.

Reviving a few children is a piece of cake. For Hiruko, who now controls the underworld, there is no need to sacrifice the pitiful White Zetsu as casting materials. He can even directly use chakra to activate Yin-Yang Release and automatically generate corresponding bodies based on their souls.

Moreover, with these children around, Sakonji Urokodaki will also stay. He is an old man with a unique sense of smell, just like Tanjiro. Having two individuals with the same special ability makes it much easier to conduct comparative research experiments.

Hiruko still highly valued Tanjiro and Sakonji Urokodaki's sense of smell.

After all, this olfactory talent is truly fantastical. In addition to being more sensitive than a dog's nose, it can also detect changes in a person's emotions and even detect the enemy's weaknesses, "seeing" the so-called "line of gaps" to exploit weaknesses. This is quite interesting.

In Buddhism, the six senses are sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and mind. By honing these five senses to their fullest potential, one can often gain incredible superpowers and even develop a mysterious sixth sense—consciousness.

Tanjiro's sense of smell, Zenitsu's hearing, and Inosuke Hashibira's sense of touch are all special talents that Hiruko is interested in.

Hiruko could easily acquire these abilities by creating corresponding memory copies or by directly plundering them through karmic transformation, but he was not someone who was easily satisfied.

Chapter 408

He was more interested in how to popularize this special talent by using cultivation techniques to uncover the divine treasures within the physical body, and compile it into his immortal classics to satisfy his spiritual pursuit of becoming the founder of an immortal sect.

This is not impossible, because Beast Breathing is a special breathing technique created by Hashibira Inosuke based on his extraordinary tactile talent before he came into contact with any other breathing styles. When activated at full power, it will have a very strong spatial perception ability.

However, these are not urgent matters for now; Hiruko must deal with Kamado Nezuko first.

Looking at the sleeping girl and the large jar of blood labeled with Tanjiro's name that had just been drawn from the Pillar, Hiruko's lips curled up slightly.

Then, he casually brushed across Nezuko's forehead, directly annihilating a portion of the consciousness attached to Muzan's cells in Nezuko's demon blood, and turning these cells into nutrients for Nezuko to absorb and digest.

As the progenitor of demons, Muzan Kibutsuji created all the demons with his blood. Their demon blood contained Muzan cells, which could carry Muzan's consciousness, allowing him to remotely command or even directly kill his subordinates, similar to how Dio manipulated the flesh buds of his minions.

Therefore, it's best to clear out any hidden problems in Nezuko's body before treating her.

Tanjiro Kamado and Nezuko Kamado, siblings, both possess rather unique constitutions. After becoming demons, they both have the potential to transform into perfect demon kings who are not afraid of sunlight, relying solely on their talent and willpower without the aid of external forces.
