Naruto's Journey to Training

A week has passed since the last battle between humans and ghosts.

During this week, since the Lower-Spin Demons were all killed and the Upper-Spin Demons fell into hiding again, the Demon Slayer Corps could be said to have launched a full-scale operation to start clearing out demons across the country.

Common wild ghosts are becoming extinct at an alarming rate.

At the same time, the decisive battle that would determine the fate of the Sunset Kingdom was also unfolding outside Kyoto. Xunri, with 100,000 samurai members, besieged Kyoto for three days and three nights.

During these three days, the once prosperous Kyoto became extremely depressed.

The occasional sounds of gunfire and artillery fire from the city walls constantly irritated the nerves of ordinary civilians in Kyoto.

As the war rages.

In a remote house in the slums of Kyoto.

The room was sealed with various wooden boards. The whole room could be said to be completely enclosed, and not a single ray of sunlight could penetrate into the room.

In the room, there were various bottles and jars, and in the center there was a huge triangular furnace with a raging fire burning underneath.

Zhu Shi used his hands to perform various spells with difficulty, and the weak spiritual power in his body emanated. He carefully felt the fusion of various medicinal effects in the furnace, and the sweat on his forehead continued to overflow like raindrops.

"It will definitely succeed this time. The fusion of the medicinal materials is perfect. As long as we control the heat well, then..."

Zhu Shi stared at the cauldron that was about to produce the elixir without blinking.

"Buzz!"

Zhu Shi was shocked all over, and without even bothering to wipe the sweat off his head, he quickly stood up and rushed towards the alchemy furnace.

She forcefully opened the furnace and looked at a few pills with faint green light floating inside. At this moment, two lines of tears couldn't help but flow down her cheeks.

"It's done! It's finally done!"

Even though Tamayo was over a hundred years old, she couldn't help but jump up like a little girl.

The batch of pills she carefully refined was not a blood-suppressing pill, but an extremely rare and mysterious foundation-building pill.

This foundation-building pill is completely different from the pills commonly seen in fantasy stories that are used to break through the foundation-building realm.

Its unique efficacy lies in its ability to thoroughly cleanse and remove long-accumulated impurities and dirt in the human body, reshape the tendons, bones and veins, and optimize the circulation of qi and blood, thereby achieving a fundamental transformation of the user's physique.

This is not an improvement or fine-tuning in the general sense, but a huge change that goes deep into the bone marrow and is a complete transformation.

Taking one of these foundation-building pills is like giving the body a comprehensive and profound baptism, eliminating all factors that are not conducive to cultivation and health, leaving only a pure, flawless body full of vitality and potential.

In other words, by taking this pill, she will have the opportunity to become a human again, and it is also possible to improve her aptitude for cultivation.

Compared to killing Muzan, she is more urgent to change her identity as a ghost.

This has always been the most important thing for her, and killing Muzan comes second.

What's more, now that she can refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, which is the most difficult pill to refine among the basic pill recipes, the relatively simpler Blood-scavenging Pill will naturally be easy for her.

Gently taking out four green pills from the furnace, Zhu Shi couldn't wait to put one into her mouth. As the pills melted in her mouth, a sudden pain that made her spasm swept through her body.

Tamayo endured the pain and clenched her fists tightly. The pain was so intense that she almost felt like fainting immediately.

But she knew she couldn't faint, so she pulled herself together, sat cross-legged, and circulated the little spiritual energy in her body.

The spiritual energy circulated in her body in circles according to the basic qi training chapter. The pain gradually eased, and the spiritual energy in her body could be seen to be growing thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a long while, Tamayo slowly opened her eyes, feeling a lightness in her body and a sense of joy overwhelmed her heart.

For a full ten years, she meditated and practiced almost day and night. She was either studying elixir recipes or meditating and practicing. What was it all for? It was for today.

Ignoring the nauseating smell on her body, Tamayo rushed to the door and quickly opened the chain on the door. Then, a dazzling ray of sunlight shone in.

Tamayo felt the warmth of the sun, completely ignoring the artillery fire not far away, and just stood there blankly in the sun.

Slowly getting used to the dazzling light, she gently opened her somewhat dirty eyelids, and looked straight at the sun in the sky with her bright eyes.

"It's been so long, I don't even know how long, since I last felt your dazzling presence, sun, I can finally see you again! This is what it feels like to be human again!"

Tamayo blocked the sunlight with her hands, with an expression that looked like she was both crying and laughing at the same time on her face.

However, at this moment, a noise was heard in the room, which brought Tamayo back from her complicated emotions, and she quickly closed the door.

Then, a secret room was opened underground and Yushiro crawled out from underneath.

"Lord Tamayo, we have already found out what happened!"

Yushiro quickly came to Tamayo, and suddenly a strong pungent smell came towards her. Just as he was about to frown, he suddenly looked at Tamayo with disbelief who was smiling.

Because he actually smelled a smell that made him hungry among the pungent smells. A smell that could make ghosts feel hungry must be a living person, and there were only him and Lord Tamayo in the room.

Yushiro's eyes widened.

"Tama...Tamayo-sama! You...you succeeded!"

Tamayo nodded with a hint of joy.

"Yushiro, I succeeded. We can finally become human again!"

After saying that, Tamayo took out a foundation-building pill and handed it to Yushiro.

"Come, eat it. After eating it, Yushiro can become a normal child!"

However, when looking at the pill handed over by Tamayo, Yushiro felt a sense of rejection in his heart, because taking this pill would mean that he would grow up one day and leave his beloved Lord Tamayo.

This made him feel a little evasive. In fact, he didn't hate being a ghost, or he hated it at the beginning, but he didn't hate it now.

Because he can always be with Lord Tamayo, and there will be no one else around Lord Tamayo except him, this kind of life makes him extremely satisfied.

However, seeing Tamayo's increasingly suspicious attitude, Yushiro gritted his teeth and swallowed the pill in one gulp. Then, his eyes rolled back and he fainted from the pain.

Tamayo quickly supported him and used her own spiritual energy to help Yushiro digest the pill in his body.

After a long while, Yushiro woke up slowly. Looking at Lord Tamayo in front of him, his face couldn't help but turn red.

Tamayo looked at the shy Yushiro and couldn't help but smile, "Yushiro, let's go take a bath!"

A moment later, the two of them lay in the hot bathtub, feeling the comfort they had not experienced in a long time, and both of them had an indescribable complexity in their hearts.

When you become a ghost, you will not only be afraid of the sun, but you will also lose many of your human senses. Only when you become a human again can you experience the difference between the two.

"You just said that you have investigated it clearly. What exactly happened?"

In the bathtub, Tamayo couldn't help but start asking about business lazily.

“Lord Tamayo, the ones attacking Kyoto from outside the city are the samurai of the shogunate, and now the whole of Kyoto has spread that the emperor has been controlled by evil spirits and turned into a man-eating monster, and is no longer worthy of being the offspring of a god.

Not only that, the shogunate also announced the characteristics of the demons. I saw a lot of information about the Twelve Demon Moons on the leaflets that the shogunate sent to the city. Some of the Twelve Demon Moons with crosses on them have been wiped out by the shogunate, including one upper-rank demon. All lower-rank demons have been wiped out. I just don’t know if this is true!”

Tamayo frowned slightly.

"Since when has the secular power become capable of exterminating demons, and in the Twelve Demon Months."

“I don’t know, maybe they are just bragging! But there is one piece of information that Lord Tamayo needs to pay attention to, that is, the Demon Slayer Corps has reached a cooperation with the shogunate.

Because I used the blood demon technique, I overheard the conversation between the Demon Slayer Corps and the shogunate intelligence personnel in the city!"

"Is that so? It seems that things have become a little complicated. If it is true, they shouldn't be so impulsive.

The source of all evil ghosts is that guy named Gui Wuzan. If half of the evil ghosts of the Twelve Ghost Moons are killed, the cowards will definitely hide. The seemingly powerful ghost king is actually an extremely cowardly guy who is afraid of death! "

There was a hint of sarcasm in Tamayo's eyes.

"It seems that in order to find out more information, we need to contact the Demon Slayer Corps!"

"Is this okay? Master Tamayo!"

Yushiro, who was in another wooden barrel, asked worriedly.

"Fool, we are not ghosts now! We are real people, so why not? It would be even better if we can use the intelligence network of the shogunate and the Demon Slayer Corps to find that coward Muzan!"

There was a strong murderous intent in Tamayo's eyes.
