Naruto's Journey to Training

At this time, Akaza also noticed the strange weather.

He glanced around blankly and saw that the heavy snow only covered their area, while other places were still dark and empty.

Akaza swallowed awkwardly and took a step back slightly.

"What on earth is this? It can actually change the weather around us!"

He had never seen such a situation before, but he knew it must be related to the woman holding the sword opposite him.

"Want to know? I can show you!"

Zhen Gu's cold voice sounded, but unlike before, this time she sounded a little excited, which was rare.

She finally understood why her master would take her to the top of the mountain to meditate every time the seasons changed. It was so that she could comprehend her own sword intent through nature.

At this moment, she finally succeeded. From her extremely solid foundation, she comprehended a sword that belonged to her alone. That winter was very cold, but with the company of her master, she felt particularly warm.

A smile appeared on Zhen Gu's lips, and her cold and pretty face showed her unique tenderness at this moment.

In an instant, snowflakes floated towards Akaza, and Shinkomo's body began to move.

A sword light dancing with snowflakes flashed from time to time, carrying an unprecedented chill as it slashed towards Akaza.

Akaza's pupils continued to dilate, and fear finally flashed in his eyes, because he felt that if he was hit by this sword, he would definitely die.

"No, he definitely doesn't want to die. He still wants to become stronger. He can definitely become stronger!"

Akaza kept shouting in his heart, and finally, under his strong desire to survive, his body, which was stiffened by the cold, moved.

"I...will never...die!"

Along with a roar, a completely burning fighting spirit surged up.

"boom!"

Just like a blooming flame, it blew away the snowflakes that were floating towards him. Then Akaza was seen standing in a standard horse stance, blood-colored fighting spirit surging all over his body, and dense runes emerged.

There was a flash of madness in his eyes, and he stretched out a hand and shouted at the sword light that was faintly visible in the snow.

"Demon Killing Technique - Final Form, Blue and Silver Massacre!"

"boom!"

In an instant, endless light bullets turned into fists and blasted towards the snowflakes flying in the sky.

However, among the numerous fist shadows, Akaza saw a sword light that was so beautiful that it took his breath away.

The sword light was like a messenger of winter, and wherever it went, everything turned into scattered snowflakes.

, like a fluttering butterfly, the fist marks fluttered across the sky, and then a scene so beautiful that it took his heart and soul appeared.

The fist shadows turned into snowflakes like bubbles and scattered, and then gathered into a cold light in the dark night, slashing towards him.

Wherever the cold light reached, everything became delayed, as if time had become incredibly slow at this moment.

Akaza's breathing became more and more rapid, and suddenly he grinned with a hint of madness.

"No! I must not die!"

After saying that, he suddenly grabbed the cold light with his hand, and in an instant his entire hand began to slowly turn into ice crystals.

"Snapped"

It only resisted for a moment before it shattered, but he did not give up. He grabbed it with his other hand, and his blood-red fighting spirit desperately resisted the coldness that was invading all the time.

However, it was meaningless, as his other hand also turned into ice crystals and drifted away.

Seeing that the cold light was about to chop off his neck, the ferocity in Akaza's eyes was completely aroused, because he found that the recovery ability that he had been so proud of before was simply a joke under this sword.

His broken arm was blocked by a strong chill, and the regenerated cells had no effect at all.

So he had to stop the sword from hitting him in the fatal spot.

At this moment he opened his mouth without hesitation and bit towards Han Mang.

Almost all of his fighting spirit was concentrated on his teeth, and he bit tightly onto Zhen Gu's sword that was about to cut off his neck.

The teeth were filled with bloody fighting spirit and began to condense into ice at a speed visible to the naked eye. Zhen Gu's sword continued to move towards the depths of his mouth, gradually cutting the corner of his mouth and moving towards his jawbone.

It seemed that his jaw was about to be cut, splitting his entire head in half. The huge sense of threat of death finally made Akaza's physical potential explode at this moment.

After hundreds of years of painstaking study of martial arts, how could he die here? He had to keep getting stronger.

The powerful belief, along with the increasingly strong blood-colored fighting spirit in him, finally began to mutate.

The originally blood-red fighting spirit deepened little by little and turned black. Black stripes on his body began to wriggle and formed strange patterns on his face.

At this moment, facing the crisis of death, Akaza finally seized the opportunity, broke through his own limits again, and reached a new height.

If he was originally below the Second Upper Rank, Douma, then at this moment he has completely surpassed Douma and reached a level close to the First Upper Rank, Kokushibo.

As for how strong Kokushibo is! In the world of Demon Slayer, besides Yoriichi Tsugumi and Kibutsu Jumuzan, he is the absolute ceiling.

In the final battle, he fought one against four and suppressed the strongest pillar, Beimingyu Gyōmei, who opened the transparent world. He also had the energy to fight with the dying Tokushige Toru Muichirō, who awakened the red sword, the Wind Pillar Fushigawa Jīniya, who awakened the markings, and Fushigi Genmiya, who mastered the power of demons. He completely suppressed the three of them.

It can be said that apart from the two biggest BOSSes, he is the number one person in this world.

At this time, Akaza already had close to such power. Under the explosion of black gas, Zhengu's sword intent seemed to be able to freeze time and space, and the speed of condensing ice was obviously slowed down.

The frost that was almost covering Akaza's eyes gradually stopped moving forward, and suddenly a crackling sound was heard.

The white blade of Sakurafukiyuki's sword, which had already cut half of Akaza's head, began to show a crack.

Zhen Gu's eyes narrowed, and she clearly felt the power of the monster in front of her suddenly surge.

The crazy bloodshot in Akaza's eyes continued to spread, and his powerful jawbone firmly blocked the sword that Shinkomo was slashing forward, accompanied by a roar.

"Ah! I must not die!"

"Crack! Crack!"

Wow!

The figures of the two people suddenly intersected. Zhengu stared blankly at Sakura Fubuki, who was left with only the hilt of her sword. A trace of loss flashed in her eyes. Was her sword broken?

It turns out that it is too forced!

Shinkomo felt Akaza breathing heavily behind her, but ignored him because she knew she no longer had the strength to kill this evil ghost.

This sword almost took up all her strength, and she also felt tired at this moment.

However, this evil ghost's desire to kill her was definitely just a delusion.

Her sword was just broken and she had consumed a lot of her strength, but that didn't mean she had no fighting ability at all. What's more, there was a Sun Blade at her feet that could harm evil spirits.

Just as Zhengu bent down to pick up the Nichirin Sword at his feet, he heard a loud bang.

The figure of Akaza behind her disappeared at an extremely fast speed.

Akaza was not feeling well at this moment. Even though he had reached another level of demon, his arms still had not fully recovered. The coldness was still sealed in his wounds, making his recovery extremely slow, like a turtle crawling.

Not to mention that he was in a very miserable state at the moment, with his entire head cut in half from the mouth. Fighting with that strong and perverted woman in this state would definitely not be beneficial. Moreover, looking at the red light rising in the sky, he had to leave because daybreak was about to occur.

At this time in Kyoto, in a luxurious mansion.

A handsome young man with a gentlemanly air, who was gently flipping through the book in his hand, suddenly paused, and looked at the scenery outside the window with a slightly fluctuating look in his eyes, where a hint of red light was gradually appearing.

An inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Akaza... has he gotten stronger again? He's indeed my favorite guy!"

After saying that, Kibutsu Shimuzan slowly stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the approaching dawn outside with deep eyes.

"It seems that the Upper Ranks are going to undergo new changes. Get stronger! Only those who continue to become stronger are qualified to live forever."

After saying this, the figure disappeared in this mansion.
