Chapter 84 Shitou Family
Summer goes, autumn comes, and winter comes again.
In the past few months, Ming Jing has completed many missions, and among the ten levels under the Demon Slayer Pillar, he has been promoted to the highest level, Level A.
The distance became a pillar, and it was just a matter of killing a few ghosts to make up the fifty, or killing a ghost with twelve ghost months.
But Spiegel doesn't care about being a pillar or anything.
He was concerned with other things.
"It's almost winter, yet there's no news about Tanjiro's family?"
In the evening, Ming Jing sighed and frowned at the crowd on the street.
Everyone has changed into winter clothes.
However, Kamado's family lives alone in a ravine. The other known information is that the family makes a living by selling charcoal, but until winter, few people will buy charcoal. It is even more impossible for Tanjiro to just sell charcoal before that. To make money by selling charcoal, you must do other things.
Although ninjas are good at collecting intelligence, they are still in a very backward society in this era, and the ways to obtain intelligence are limited. Ming Jing almost searched the area where Shuizhu was responsible and the surrounding areas but couldn't find it.
Tomioka Yoshiyuki was forced by Ming Jing to go further to perform tasks.
"That's all, I am lucky, but I will lose my life. No matter what, even if the Kamado family is not found, Tanjiro will eventually join the Demon Slayer Corps."
Ming Jing could only comfort himself with this.
He had just completed a mission and took advantage of his free time to stop by to gather information.
The current town happens to be at the foot of a mountain. From time to time, mountain people from the mountain will cut firewood and burn charcoal and send it to the town at the foot of the mountain for sale.
Because there are very few entertainment methods in this era, except for daily of work, Ming Jing’s greatest enjoyment is soaking in hot springs and tasting delicious food.
After all, he is a person who will not treat his taste buds and stomach badly even on the battlefield of the Ninja World War.
Just as he was about to find a passerby to inquire about local food, Ming Jing quietly discovered an acquaintance.
She was a very beautiful young woman, wearing a kimono that was decent and elegant but did not affect her mobility. She had light pink eyeshadow on the corners of her eyes, and her long snow-white hair was styled like a married woman's hairstyle. She looked like a birch wood elf.
Ubuyashiki Amane, the wife of Ubuyashiki Yoshiya, the leader of the Demon Slayer Squad, was born into a family of priests.
"Senior Tianyin?"
Hearing Ming Jing's voice calling him, Ubuyashiki Amane turned around lightly and saw Uchiha Ming Jing.
"It turns out to be you, Ming Jing."
"Why is Senior Tianyin here? Are you also going to perform a mission?"
Ming Jing stared curiously at the Nichirin sword in Ubuyashiki Amane's hand.
"No, I just found the descendants of the ancestor swordsman."
Ubuyashiki Amane shook his head.
"According to records, the name of the powerful swordsman who created the Breathing Technique was Enichi Tsukuni. Even the Demon Slayers did not leave much information about him. We only recently discovered the whereabouts of the Tsukuni clan. "It is said that the breathing method used by the ancestor swordsman is completely different from our current breathing method. It is the source of all breathing methods and the most powerful breathing method. However, it was lost a long time ago. Over the years, the Demon Slayer Squad has We have been trying to restore this breathing method, but we have never been able to find a way, so we began to look for the descendants of the ancestor swordsman in order to obtain some relevant information."
"The descendants of the Jiguo clan have now evolved into the Tokito clan. Only two brothers are left to make a living by chopping firewood. Although they have no inheritance of the ancestor's breathing method, I also want to see if I can introduce them to the Demon Slayer Corps. But unfortunately, the elder of the two brothers is very wary of outsiders and has refused to go down the mountain."
Ubuyashiki Amane's cold eyes cast towards a mountain in the distance.
Ming Jing followed her gaze and looked into the distance.
It was already dark, and under the night sky, the mountains looked so calm and dull.
Tokito's family?
He remembered that the future Demon Slayer Kasumashira was called Tokitou Muichiro.
"Senior Tianyin wants to introduce them to the Demon Slayer Corps. Does he think that it is easier for people with the same bloodline as the ancestral swordsman to become strong?"
Ubuyashiki Amane nodded first, then shook his head.
"It can only be said that this is part of the reason. A person's talent and character will be greatly affected by innate blood genes. Of course, acquired growth is also critical, but the offspring of the strong are, in terms of probability, It is true that it is easier to give birth to strong people.”
Speaking of which, Ubuyashiki Amane also gave an example.
"It's like the Purgatory Family. For hundreds of years, the Flame Pillar positions in the Demon Slayer Corps have been held by members of the Purgatory Family. There has never been a vacancy in the past generations. For example, Anjuro and the others, every Flame Pillar can be perfect. Fulfill your duties as a pillar.”
"As far as I know, the first batch of swordsmen who mastered the breathing method are the strongest group of swordsmen in the Demon Slayer Corps. The first flame pillar who mastered the breath of fire is also among them."
"But in addition to these, the location where Tokito's family lives now is also very dangerous. The inaccessible mountain forest is the most vulnerable place to be attacked by ghosts, because if it is in a prosperous town, once the news spreads, it is likely to attract ghosts to kill The attention of the team swordsmen."
"But unfortunately, there have been a lot of human disappearances here recently. I suspect that there are ghosts nearby, but I haven't been able to find any traces, but I haven't been able to convince the Tokito family."
Ubuyashiki Amane lowered his head and sighed.
"Actually, I would say that it would be the same to just tie them alive and bring them down the mountain and then give them some persuasion."
As a ninja who values efficiency, especially a ninja from the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Mingjing did not agree with Ubuyashiki Amane's grinding approach.
Ubuyashiki Amane smiled slightly but did not reply.
Everyone has their own way of doing things, and in the past few months after joining the Demon Slayer Corps, Ming Jing has perfectly made everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps deepen their impression of the word ninja.
Simple, efficient, full of execution, and possessing strong intelligence gathering and analysis capabilities and tactical formulation capabilities, and even good battlefield command capabilities - these are the skills that want to become a qualified Konoha Jonin.
"Sometimes, there is no need to complicate many things. The simpler, the more effective. Things that should be solved at the moment should be solved at the moment. Otherwise, it will often create consequences that you least want to see."
Ming Jing thought of Senju Hashirama, the first Hokage.
If Dazhu and Uchiha Madara had joined forces to unify the ninja world, how could there be any subsequent ninja war? Establishing a unified political power can at least maintain peace for hundreds of years.
On the contrary, the current ninja world has become what Senju Hashirama least wants to see.
The ninja wars swept through the ninja world, and the scale of the ninja wars became larger and larger each time. Teenage children had to pick up swords and step onto the battlefield, just like Uchiha Mingjing two years ago.
The next two chapters will be posted later.
