Tanjiro took a deep breath and inhaled and exhaled several times before he finally calmed down.
"Sister! I'm counting on you then!"
Tanjiro's eyes regained their former determination. Although he was indeed hurt, if it was his sister, then wasn't that a good thing?
Compared to his sister's slow training progress, Tanjiro said he would definitely support his sister to train faster. If Chinatsu had a fan club, Tanjiro would undoubtedly be the number one fan, waving the flag around.
The two quickly arrived at the open space. Qianxia gripped the ordinary longsword in both hands, and as she changed her breathing rhythm, ripples like flowing water appeared on the longsword in her hands.
If the sword in hand is a "Nichirin Blade" unique to members of the Demon Slayer Corps, the ripples in the water will be even more pronounced.
After switching breathing techniques, Chinatsu used the tenth form of Water Breathing in front of Tanjiro, which is called "Life Flow".
This sword technique uses spinning and dancing movements to amplify the power of water ripples and sword energy. It is the ultimate technique of Water Breathing. When stacked to a certain degree, even a comprehensive Water Breathing technique can unleash power comparable to other offensive breathing techniques.
Since it was just a demonstration, Chika didn't dance around a few times. After slightly condensing a "small water tap", she chopped down on a nearby tree. With a "bang!!!", the tree was blasted into two pieces.
"Wow...that's amazing...No! Sister, you used such a powerful move, how are you feeling? Are you tired? Is anything sore? Go..."
Bang!
Before Tanjiro could finish speaking, Chinatsu, holding her other hand in addition to her long sword, delivered a chop to Tanjiro's head.
"Don't make such a fuss, okay? I do get tired easily, but not so easily after swinging a sword once," Qianxia said, somewhat speechless.
Even though she is the eldest sister and has a higher generation than him as the eldest son, after spending so much time together, Chinatsu always feels that Tanjiro is the one with the highest generation, the "big brother".
That won't do. It's acceptable that Tanjiro is kind-hearted and caring, but she can't lose her dignity and authority as the older sister!
Chika stated that although she inherited the original owner's memories and will, she did not want to become a gentle and refined lady like the original owner.
Nezuko is enough to be ladylike and cute!
Chinatsu nodded to herself with her hands on her hips, while Tanjiro tilted his head in confusion.
He always felt that his older sister had changed, but not to the point of becoming a completely different person. Tanjiro could sense that his older sister was still gentle at heart. Her outward assertiveness was probably due to the impact of witnessing her family being slaughtered by demons.
Tanjiro: I absolutely have to become stronger!
Tanjiro gripped his long sword and began practicing "Water Breathing, Tenth Form: Life Flow" as Chinatsu had demonstrated before.
The scene that had just unfolded and was now unfolding before Urokodaki's eyes, who was not far away. Urokodaki felt gratified but also somewhat saddened by the sight of the two cultivating so diligently.
The good news is that at this pace, the two of them will soon be able to graduate. If they don't die prematurely, they will definitely become very strong in the future and won't be so easily killed in the Ghost Hunting operation.
What's frustrating is that his training plan for today, which he just made last night, can now be discarded. Not only has Chinatsu already mastered the tenth form of Life Flow, but judging from the current situation, Tanjiro probably won't be long before he learns it too...
"What a hassle, we have to start all over again. But oh well, it's better for me to work hard than for these two kids to die at the hands of ghosts later..."
Urokodaki muttered a few words to himself and then turned back into the cabin. Tanjiro continued practicing the tenth form of Water Breathing, while Chinatsu sat on the rock next to him, trying hard to recall her past memories.
Kagura, the god of fire.
This is the Kagura dance passed down through generations of the Kamado family. It originated from Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the strongest man in the Demon Slayer world. Yoriichi Tsugikuni was once a friend of the Kamado family's ancestor. After Yoriichi Tsugikuni personally demonstrated a set of Sun Breathing techniques, the Kamado ancestor recorded it and named it "Hinokami Kagura," calling it a dance to pray for peace to the Fire God.
Although the Kagura dance is not passed down only to men, the Kamado family had seen the entire set of movements every year before his death.
However, only Tanjiro knows about this unique breathing method. After all, one successor is enough; the other boys are too young, and the girls aren't interested.
Chika (original): All I need is a kitchen knife.
Nezuko: Can't my brother do it?
Chika tried hard to recall her memories, but could only vaguely remember Hinokami Kagura's dance moves; she had absolutely no recollection of her breathing technique.
Alright, let's try to imitate it first.
Qianxia acted immediately. Holding a long sword, he danced gracefully, mimicking his father's movements from memory. After just one set, Qianxia was covered in sweat and panting heavily.
The Hinokami Kagura is already very physically demanding, and with her current physical condition, this is simply deadly.
Chinatsu wiped the sweat from her forehead. Tanjiro, who was beside her, had seen Chinatsu's dance earlier and walked over quickly, asking in confusion, "Sister, is that... our family's Kagura dance?"
"Well, since you recognized me, it means my dance wasn't too bad," Qianxia replied, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
"That's not how you breathe. If you don't use a special breathing method with Hinokami Kagura, it will consume a lot of energy. My father taught me a breathing method, and I can teach... wait, a breathing method?"
Tanjiro was stunned for a moment, and a "No way?" expression suddenly appeared on his face.
"Sister, do you think our Hinokami Kagura's breathing technique might be similar to Water Breathing?" Tanjiro turned to look at Chinatsu, realizing that what he was saying was somewhat absurd.
"Why not give it a try and see? What if it works?" Qianxia smiled inwardly, knowing that her attempt to induce him had succeeded.
Tanjiro isn't stupid. Now that he's learned Water Breathing, he compared it with the Hinokami Kagura breathing technique and immediately grasped the profound mystery of the Hinokami Kagura breathing technique.
"I...I'll give it a try!"
Tanjiro nodded, gripped his long sword tightly with both hands, opened his mouth and took a deep breath, recalling the breathing method his father had taught him.
A faint, sun-like flame appeared on the long sword he held…
