Itachi is missing...

This incident made Tokitoru Muichiro's heart suddenly pick up in his throat. Itachi was the youngest son of the Ubuyashiki family and the second heir to the future Demon Slayer Corps.

Even though the lord and Amane said every time that combat power should not be used to protect them, Tokidou Muichiro still believed that it was his responsibility to protect the Ubuyashiki family.

Especially Itachi who was brought out by him personally.

The fog rose in an instant without any warning. Tokitou Muichiro was sure that it was a ghost, a ghost that even the crow hadn't noticed.

The Demon Slayer Corps has been fighting ghosts for hundreds of years, and it was unheard of in the past for ghosts to have the audacity to sneak into the swordsman's territory.

Tokitoru Muichiro whistled and called his crow, asking him to send a message to Ninataki Sakonji as soon as possible, asking his predecessor, Mizuho, ​​to protect Lord Amane, and he would definitely bring Itachi back safely.

.

After Tokitoru Muichiro released the crow, he rushed into the mist without any hesitation. He would not let the ghost hurt Shiro Mantou.

…

Itachi heard the sound when the ghost sneaked up the mountain. Itachi was initially worried that the ghost would attack Tianyin, so he stayed vigilant.

After he confirmed that the target of the ghost was the "lone" Tokitou Muichiro and himself, Itachi completely relaxed. Even though Muichiro was a troublesome natural type, it was undeniable that he was indeed a rare genius in the Demon Slayer Corps.

Itachi was full of confidence in his "bodyguard".

The moment the fog rose, Itachi realized that he had underestimated Oni.

A pair of hands hidden in the thick fog covered Itachi's mouth and nose, dragging him into the thick fog in an instant...

The fishy smell hit his face, and Itachi could tell who kidnapped him by the smell in the air, which meant that he had eaten dozens or even hundreds of innocent people.

With such a pungent smell, it is not difficult to imagine why the ghost caught him.

Itachi thought that the worst thing the ghost that gradually revealed its figure did was that it did not swallow him on the spot, but resorted to such a stupid method as kidnapping.

The ghost's appearance was uglier than Itachi had imagined. Its body seemed to be twisted by countless hands. Its body was huge but its movements were flexible. It squeezed Itachi with its hands and laughed wildly as it flew down the mountain.

Itachi relaxed his body and waited for the moment when the ghost stopped.

Even if he is a salty fish with no pursuit, no goals, and no ideals, this does not mean that he is willing to accept the fact that he will be eaten by ghosts at the age of five.

Itachi began to think about how to deal with the ghost who captured him with the smallest movement, and without being suspected by Tokidou Muichiro and Amane.

Itachi always felt that this was a very troublesome thing, about finding a flawless excuse.

…

The ghost finally loosened its grip on Itachi at the foot of Mount Sagori. He couldn't wait to enjoy his "apprentice" on the territory of Nintaki Sakonji. It could even guess how Nintaki Sakonji learned the bad news.

expression.

Thanks to Nintaki Sakonji's last apprentice, if he hadn't cut off his own head and thought he was dead, he wouldn't have been able to break through the boundaries with his hatred for Nintaki Sakonji by coincidence.

He hated him, he hated the man who locked him up, and he hated the kid who cut off his head.

So after breaking the boundary, he came back to take revenge.

The hand ghost who was once imprisoned in the trial place broke through the boundaries of ghosts and was resurrected again after his head was severed. He had nowhere to vent his anger and could only rely on cannibalism to relieve it.

The hand ghost let out an unpleasant laugh. He didn't take Itachi seriously. How could a five-year-old child hurt him without a weapon in his hand?

It was like now that he was standing stupidly in front of him because of fear, and he couldn't even cry.

At this time, Itachi slowly raised his head and looked at the huge hand ghost. He was not interested in knowing what the hand ghost was thinking at the moment. He only knew that he should solve it as soon as possible.

There was no emotion in Itachi's eyes, and the hand ghost who had just laughed did not see any trace of fear in them. His laughter stopped abruptly, and the joyful expression on his face became angry.

A little kid, just a little kid, dared to look at him like that!

The hand ghost became excited and angry, his body was shaking crazily, and his eyes burst out with anger towards Itachi.

"I want to eat you, I want to eat you..." He was repeating this sentence.

When the hand ghost stretched out his hand to catch Itachi, the next second he couldn't feel the existence of the hand. The hand ghost wanted to scream, and he couldn't feel his body before the scream sounded.

He saw a pair of eyes, a pair of eyes with strange red patterns.

"Tsukuyomi."

The hand ghost was bound, his soul was bound in an unknown space, and the little fat man who had just been caught by him was walking towards him step by step.

The sharp arrows pierced his soul, and the blazing flames seemed to burn his soul together.

No, no, no, it's impossible, this is not the ability of the Demon Slayer Squad...

He wanted to yell, but couldn't struggle. Before the crows surrounded him, his last memory was his red eyes without any emotion.

Ah, those eyes were not afraid at first. The boy always looked at him with an ant expression, just like he used to look at the people he killed with this look.

Itachi originally planned to leave the hand ghost here alone, and when the sun rises the next day, he will truly turn into ashes.

But some small changes happened in the meantime. Itachi heard the rapid footsteps running towards him. Different from Tokitou Muichiro's, these footsteps were heavier. He should be a person slightly larger than Muichiro.

.

Itachi thought for a moment and hid behind a nearby tree. At the same time, he also unlocked the Tsukuyomi of the hand ghost.

People who have been controlled by Tsukuyomi will suffer mental damage even if they are released. Itachi is not worried that the hand ghost will come and attack him immediately.

…

Tomioka Giyu came at the request of his teacher, Rinaki Sakonji. His predecessor, Mizuho, ​​wanted to discuss things with him about Tanjiro and Nezuko.

The man was recommended by Giyu Tomioka, and Nezuko was spared by him himself. If one day Nezuko, as a ghost, really starts to eat people, they must give an explanation to the Demon Slayer Squad.

So Tomioka Yoshiyuki finished his work as quickly as possible and came to the vicinity of Mount Saagiri.

As soon as he stepped into the territory of Samagiri Mountain, he saw the teacher's crow. The crow flew quickly and eagerly saw him, then swooped down quickly, opened its mouth and started telling him to hurry up and save people.

It was not clear who he rescued, but he only knew that a child was captured.

Saving people and slaying ghosts is the bounden duty of the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps. Tomioka Giyuu did not hesitate at all when hearing the words from Crow, and quickened his pace and rushed in the direction of Mount Saagiri.

Tomioka Giyu was originally worried about where he should find the abducted children, but he didn't know that he saw a huge, slow-moving shadow not far from Saagiri Mountain.

Tomioka Giyuu showed an angry expression when he saw the shadow. He suddenly pulled out the Nichirin sword from his waist, and his expression was very ferocious, as if he wanted to cut the ghost close at hand with a thousand swords.

At this time, Tomioka Giyuu was no longer the same person he was when he participated in the selection competition. His sword was faster and more powerful. Tomioka Yiyu jumped into the air and completely cut off the ghost's neck from behind.

The ghost's huge head fell to the ground and rolled around several times until it came to Itachi. The ghost's eyes slowly looked at Itachi.

Itachi, pretending to be the victim, also looked at him indifferently. Tegui's teeth began to chatter up and down. He no longer wanted to experience the torture of the spiritual world. Tegui's head tried hard to move in the opposite direction to Itachi, he wanted to

Avoid boys.

With red eyes, Giyu Tomioka walked step by step towards the hand ghost that had not yet turned into ashes. He found that the hand ghost was growing a new body.

This is the transformation of ghosts.

Even so, Tomioka Giyuu would not flinch any more. He raised the Nichirin sword in his hand and penetrated the hand ghost's brain, but the hand ghost could not make any sound. At the right time, the inexplicable black flame burned the hand ghost's brain.

body and brain.

The hand ghost struggled to look in Itachi's direction. He was sure that this was not the ability of the Demon Slayer Squad, but the child who could control the soul. It was that child...

The hand ghost was unable to make any sound in the last second in the world. Black flames burned everything, and the huge body suddenly collapsed and turned into ashes.

After Tomioka Giyuu watched the hand ghost's eyes widen in fear and gradually dissipated in fear, the anger and sadness that had been accumulated in his heart for many years finally dissipated.

After many years, he finally avenged Qiantu with his own hands.

Tomioka Giyuu was not too suspicious of the black flames. It was strange that the hand ghost could continue to grow after its head was severed. He thought that the black flames might be a new way of death after the ghost had mutated.

The man held down the back of the sword and retracted the Nichirin Sword into the scabbard. He was sure that the ghost in the hand was the ghost that the teacher said had kidnapped the child. So, had the child in the crow's mouth...had something unexpected happen to him?

Itachi, who was squatting silently behind the big tree, had already recognized who the man was. He looked at the man and searched carefully for a while but still couldn't find him. After thinking that he might be eaten, Itachi deliberately stepped on the tree at his feet.

branches of a tree.

"who--"

The one that moved faster than Tomioka Giyuu was his Nichirin Sword. Itachi looked at the Nichirin Sword a few centimeters away from his neck and confirmed the ability of Mizuhashi in his heart. His conditioned reflexes were very good. As expected, Hashira's ability should not be underestimated.

.

Tomioka Giyu immediately put away the Nichirin sword when he realized that the person making the noise was a child. He came to squat in front of Itachi and said with an apologetic look: "Are you the child captured by the ghost? I'm sorry."

Itachi nodded and shook his head. He pointed to the top of Mount Samagiri, indicating where he wanted to go.

Tomioka Giyu looked at Itachi. He suspected that Itachi was the new disciple of Mr. Routaki Sakonji, so he said to him: "I also want to see Mr. Routaki Sakonji, let's go."

Itachi glanced at Saagiri Mountain, which was not too low in altitude, and silently opened his arms. He didn't want to climb the mountain twice with awkward steps.

Open your arms, this is the standard posture for hugging a child.

Unexpectedly, Tomioka Giyuu didn't understand. He frowned slightly and patted Itachi's head with his hand, "You're welcome, I can lift the Nichirin Sword."

Giyu Tomioka regarded Itachi's actions as a child and wanted to repay him by helping him hold the Nichirin Sword. He righteously rejected Itachi and then walked away, taking the lead to go up the mountain.

Itachi, who had finally acted coquettishly, was left messy in the wind.
