Naruto's Journey to Training

Hearing the girl's answer, Akaza's pupils shrank slightly.

"Master! It seems that there are still powerful people in the world that I don't know about, but I believe that you are now far better than your master! Being able to practice swordsmanship to this level, you have already walked an unprecedented path."

Akaza kept using his fists to block Shinkomo's increasingly fierce attacks. It must be said that the sense of danger of walking on the edge of a knife made him more and more excited.

However, upon hearing his words of praise, Zhen Gu did not give him a good look, but instead swung the sword more and more fiercely.

"Nonsense! Compared to my master, I have only just scratched the surface of kendo!"

After saying this, Zhengu's angry attack was like a flash of beauty, with a hint of frost, and he directly cut Akaza in half with one blow.

The wound was emitting a hint of coldness, and Akaza felt that the healing process was obviously much slower.

Just when Akaza was about to say something, another flash of light appeared, and his newly-opened mouth immediately stopped, and his head flew high into the air.

Akaza did not panic. His spinning head controlled his stiff body. He suddenly jumped up, flew up to catch the beast, then pressed the head on his neck. Almost in one go, he quickly took a few steps back and put some distance between them.

At this moment he clearly felt that something was wrong with Zhen Gu. Compared to her coldness just now, there was a hint of anger in the eyes of the woman opposite her.

Akaza thought about it in his mind, wondering if he had said anything excessive!

Although as an evil ghost, he usually tortures pigs weaker than him, but when facing an opponent who is worthy of his praise, he will not hesitate to give praise.

But this was obviously not the time to think about these questions. The woman opposite him closed the distance in almost the blink of an eye, and the sword reached in front of him again.

At this moment, he used almost all his strength, and the blood ghost magic was fully unleashed. A red light emerged from his body, and the red light quickly covered his body, forming a close-fitting protective film.

But the next moment, his hands were still cut off by the sword light, which made him stunned for a moment. The blood ghost magic that had always been effective was actually easily suppressed.

This was something he had never encountered since he became an upper-rank demon.

He had only had one chance in the past few hundred years to find someone who could completely suppress him and leave him without any chance of fighting back.

That was when he challenged Douma, who was also an Upper Rank Two, and that was his first crushing defeat.

Although he didn't want to admit it at this moment, the strength displayed by the woman in front of him had indeed completely surpassed him.

If he was not a ghost, and the weapon in Zhengu's hand was not an ordinary weapon, but the Nichirin Sword, he would probably be in great danger at this moment!

"It seems that what I said just now made you very angry. Although I don't know why, compared to my previous enemies, you are indeed the strongest one!"

"However, this battle is unfair to you because you are a human and I am a ghost!"

Akaza quickly dodged a slash from Shinkomo and said seriously.

"There is no such thing as fair or unfair. Master said that the world has never been fair. The only way to get true fairness is with the sword in my hand!"

"Hahaha, it seems like you've met a pretty good teacher! I really want to challenge someone like that!"

"With you... you must defeat the sword in my hand first!"

Akaza, whose wrist was chopped off again, looked stern, because he clearly felt that the woman opposite him had calmed down a lot.

"Could it be that his master is really more powerful than her? Is there such a powerful person in this world?"

Originally thought that the previous words were just the girl's modesty, Akaza couldn't help but feel a little shaken at this moment.

"No! How can a mere human being exceed his own limits?"

One of the reasons why he turned into a ghost was that humans have too many limitations, so many that he couldn't see any hope at all.

However, after becoming a ghost, this limitation completely disappeared. His immortal life allowed him to use far more time than humans to pursue the power to break limits again and again.

“Maybe you are very powerful, and your master is also very powerful, but I feel a little sad.

You are still young now, and your master has not yet reached the upper limit of his life span, but what about ten, twenty, or a hundred years from now? "

"You will all disappear due to your own lifespan, so, do the same as me! Become a ghost, so that you can stay young forever, and your master will always be with you!"

"Such perfect swordsmanship should not disappear, what do you think, woman?"

Akaza looked into the girl's sharp eyes and invited her.

He sincerely wanted the girl in front of him to be like him, because this kind of swordsmanship was so wonderful, so wonderful that he wanted to experience and learn it all the time.

"Become a ghost!"

Zhen Gu's sword paused slightly, but then she remembered the scene of the evil ghost eating people just now, and quickly threw the hesitation out of her mind.

"I will never become a monster like you. Besides, my master will not die, nor will he grow old. He will remain young. I just need to follow in his footsteps and become his best disciple!"

Along with Zhen Gu's firm words, the air was once again filled with sword energy that seemed to tear through space.

There was a hint of disappointment in Akaza's eyes. It was obvious that his suggestion was a very good one.

What's wrong with being a ghost? Apart from the two shortcomings of not being able to see the sun and eating humans, everything else is what everyone dreams of. Infinite life, abundant energy that never ages. It's simply the most perfect life form.

Seeing that Zhengu was unmoved, Akaza said no more. Dense blood-colored runes overflowed from his body and then turned into a blood curtain.

In an instant, a powerful blood-colored fighting spirit emerged from Akaza's body and slammed towards Zhenguo with an overwhelming and terrifying impact force.

"Blood Demon Art------Destruction Killing, Luo Needle!"

Zhengu's pupils quickly condensed, and she held Sakura Fubuki tightly with both hands. She lifted her up high, and a strong sword intent burst out from her body.

"cut!"

A slash that seemed to split the earth was fired from Sakura Fubuki in Shinkomo's hand and crashed into the rushing red light.

"boom!"

A dull sound was heard, and the surrounding alleys were shattered layer by layer under the aftermath of the collision between the two.

.......

And just as the two were fighting violently.

In an old house.

In the dim room, two oil lamps flickered gently.

A man dressed in a divine robe knelt in the corridor outside the open doorway, staring blankly up at the night sky.

He is the current lord of the Demon Slayer Corps, and there are two maids sitting beside him to take care of him.

"I didn't expect that a demon suspected to be one of the upper ranks would appear in the town in the south, but who is the person who can fight with him?"

Ubuyashiki Yoya murmured softly.

"My Lord, should we send the Demon Slayer Corps to provide support?"

At this time, a maid next to him couldn't help but ask.

Ubuyashiki Yoya was slightly hesitant.

He remembered that the only pillar nearby was Kanae, but one pillar alone would not be able to deal with an upper-rank demon.

As a mysterious organization that specializes in fighting ghosts, their intelligence network is almost spread all over the world, so he was able to get approximate intelligence so quickly.

However, sending Kanae over like this was almost an irresponsible choice. For the lord who treated all the members of the Demon Slayer Corps like his own children, he was quite conflicted at this time.

However, when he thought of the mysterious strong man who could fight against one of the Upper Ranks, he had to take this situation into consideration. After all, that was someone who could fight against the Upper Ranks alone. If he could pull her into the Demon Slayer Corps, then the strength of the entire Demon Slayer Corps and their anti-demon cause would surely be taken to a higher level.

"But is there really anyone in this world who can fight an upper-rank demon alone?"

This question has been lingering in Ubuyashiki Kazuya's mind. After pondering for a moment, Ubuyashiki Kazuya slowly stood up and walked into the house with the help of two maids.

He still made the decision. This opportunity was rare. Over the past hundreds of years, there were very few people who could fight against the Upper Moons. He didn't want to miss this opportunity.

Soon an order was issued by him through the Demon Slayer Corps' special method of transmitting information.
