My name is Sasuke, from being the richest man in Naruto to dominating the world

Chapter 624 Six injured soldiers, all reformed

Looking at the people in front of him, Zhou Ming sighed softly.

Although they are all still alive, they have changed a lot since the last time they met.

The six pillars that still exist are Sound Pillar Uzui Tengen, Flame Pillar Rengoku Kyojuro, Insect Pillar Kocho Shinobu, Love Pillar Kanroji Mitsuri, Rock Pillar Haimyou Gyomei, and Water Pillar Tomioka Giyu.

Each of the six people was injured, and the injuries were the kind that could not be healed by normal means.

Kyojuro was blind in his right eye, and had a huge scar running from his forehead to his chin.

There is a centipede-shaped scar on Uzui Tengen's neck. Judging from the length of the scar, his neck must have been completely split in half at that time. It is a miracle that he survived.

Shinobu Kocho lost an arm, and the sleeve of her left hand was empty.

There is a scar on Mitsuri Kanroji's collarbone, which extends into the inside of her clothes. It is unknown how long it is.

Beimingyu Xingming has a prosthetic limb on his left leg, but considering the technological level of this world, how much mobility he has left is undoubtedly a matter of time.

Giyu Tomioka's condition was the lightest, he only lost three fingers on his right hand, but this undoubtedly affected his combat ability, so his Nichirin sword has now been moved to the right side of his body and he wields it with his left hand.

In addition to the physical injuries, each of them looked much more haggard than before, and several male pillars even grew beards.

It’s not that I don’t want to take care of myself, but I simply don’t have the time to take care of myself.

"Everyone, I'm back."

Zhou Ming looked at everyone and smiled happily.

He was originally the new Sound Pillar, but because he left this world, this status is only temporary at best. However, the Demon Slayer Corps did not revoke his title, but instead classified him as the previous Sound Pillar.

"Oh! It's Sasuke-kun! Welcome back!"

Kyojuro still looks full of energy.

"You left suddenly and came back suddenly, Sasuke-kun. I already know what happened just now. You are really gorgeous!"

Uzui Tengen still kept the word "gorgeous" on his lips.

Shinobu Kocho didn't say anything, but just smiled gently.

"Wow~ Sasuke-kun, you're finally back, I missed you so much!"

Mitsuri Ganlu Temple burst into tears on the spot, reached out and hugged Zhou Ming in her arms, and directly gave him a shot of facial cleanser.

Ino and Karin next to them immediately widened their eyes and glared at Mitsuri Kanroji.

"Namo Amitabha - it's good that you are back, it's good that you are back."

Beimingyu Xingming chanted the Buddha's name, still looking like he was about to cry.

Giyu Tomioka nodded. His reaction was the smallest, but he definitely didn't unwelcome Zhou Ming's return. It was just that his cold-outside-and-warm-inside personality meant that even if he had any thoughts, they would hardly show on his face.

Zhou Ming took a lot of effort to break free from Mili's arms. In fact, he really didn't want to leave.

"Everyone, I'm really happy to see you again. Unfortunately, I came back too late. Some people have already left us forever."

The people on the opposite side showed sadness. Even Kyojuro found it difficult to maintain his usual cheerful appearance when facing the departure of his good friend.

"But what I want to say is that the time for counterattack has come. Everyone, I hope you can put aside your past prejudices and embrace new powers. Only by using the immortal body can you truly fight against the immortal body."

Zhou Ming looked at the people in front of him and said in a deep voice.

Although Ubuyashiki Yoya has agreed to his plan, no one knows what the pillars think.

When Muzan Kibutsuji was still alive, everyone accepted Ubuyashiki Yoshiya's orders unconditionally, and Ubuyashiki Yoshiya was also used to giving orders.

But with the death of Muzan Kibutsuji, Ubuyashiki Yoya gave up his status as lord and gave everyone complete freedom.

Now, because of Kabane, everyone is gathered together again, but Ubuyashiki Kakuya himself will no longer get along with everyone in the same way as before.

Now, each of these pillars can have his own thoughts and judgments, and Ubuyashiki Yoya will no longer place his will above that of others.

As for the "method" that Zhou Ming mentioned, even though he hadn't said it explicitly, everyone could understand what he meant.

After all, his status as the new "Demon King" was no secret within the Demon Slayer Corps, especially the senior members. They had all witnessed with their own eyes how he defeated the Demon King and how he helped Nezuko eliminate her various shortcomings.

So, the only question facing them now is whether they want to become "ghosts"?

Although the "ghosts" today are no longer the same as before, can they really accept that they have become their former enemies?
"I have no problem!"

Kyojuro spoke up immediately.

"Although this feeling may make people feel strange, but if it is to protect others, I am willing to become anything!"

"Kyojuro is still as gorgeous as ever. I can't fall behind. Yes, if it's to protect the survival of mankind, I have no problem with these sacrifices!"

Uzui Tengen said with a smile.

"Sasuke-kun helped me get revenge before, but I didn't thank you properly. Now I need your help, and I really can't find a reason to refuse."

Kocho Shinobu said with a smile.

"Yeah, that's what I thought, that's what I thought!"

Mitsuri Kanroji nodded repeatedly.

"Namo Amitabha - saving people is more important than anything else. I have no objection."

Beimingyu Xingming continued to cry. Ino and the other two looked at him curiously, obviously not understanding why this grown man kept crying.

"I have no objection either."

Tomioka Giyu finally spoke.

"Okay, since everyone has no objection—"

Zhou Ming nodded and stood up.

"I have a lot to say to you. It's not just about saving humanity, nor is it just about you. It's also about the reason why Kabane appeared, and the secrets of this world. You all have reasons to know all of this, but this kind of thing can be put off until later.

Now, let me inject new strength into you!"

Zhou Ming raised his hands, and his ten fingers suddenly grew longer, stabbing into the bodies of the six people and Ubuyashiki Yoshiya in turn.

As his blood flowed into their bodies, the seven people began to change. First, their skin began to wriggle, and everyone became like plasticine, but soon, their changes stopped, and the first stage of transformation was completed.

The second stage follows, which is to repair all their injuries, whether obvious or hidden.

The broken arms and legs grew back, the blind eyes regained sight, and all the scars on the body disappeared.

Finally, there is eternal life.

Zhou Ming did not open the blood ghost magic to everyone. This can be done later. He was mainly worried that others would not be able to accept this deeper power.

If it was just eternal life, it would be fine, but the power of vampire magic would undoubtedly touch everyone's psychological bottom line more easily. Zhou Ming hoped that they could be mentally prepared to a certain extent, and then decide whether to activate it based on their personal wishes.

After a moment, the transformation was completed.

The six pillars have all returned to their original appearance.

"My eyes have recovered, and my strength is endless!"

Kyojuro said loudly.

In fact, the moment his body was transformed, his ears were also restored.

He had suffered hearing loss a long time ago, and it was not an injury from a ghost, but something he did to himself.

Of course, this matter has a lot to do with the ghost itself.

At that time, Kyojuro was a newcomer who had just joined the Demon Slayer Corps. His first opponent was a "flute demon" who could control humans through sound.

The strength of the "Flute Ghost" should not be underestimated, and its abilities are also very tricky. The sound of the flute can interfere with human nerves, causing the victim's body to become uncontrollable and move randomly.

In addition to the flute sound that disrupts the nerves, the "Flute Ghost" can also use the flute sound to create ghost wolves to attack the opponent, which means that it is both an output and a control, and the opponent can only be controlled to death.

Kyojuro's solution to the dilemma is simple, direct and brutal - rupture the eardrum and destroy his hearing.

That's right, Kyojuro became a disabled person after the end of his first mission. Although his hearing was later restored and he was not completely deaf, the rupture of the eardrum by brute force had a great impact on his hearing. This is also the fundamental reason why he has the habit of speaking loudly - he is not aware that he speaks loudly at all.

As for why Kyojuro knew the ability of the "Flute Ghost", it was because his dying companions around him tried their best to convey the message through hand gestures, allowing Kyojuro to avoid the same fate as his companions.

A single example can reveal the whole picture. If it were the other pillars, they would make the same choice. That is why Zhou Ming respects them very much.

Becoming a "ghost" is not as simple as repairing the body, but it is possible to control oneself and completely replace the entire body.

Considering that they might not be able to control this ability well at the beginning, Zhou Ming took over and completed this step for them.

As a result, even though Kyojuro's hearing had recovered, he still spoke loudly subconsciously and ended up scaring himself.

"My ears..."

"Congratulations, you have recovered."

Zhou Ming said with a smile.

"Although the absence of scars will affect my gorgeousness, but an uninjured body is still the best."

Uzui Tengen touched his neck and said happily.

Shinobu Kocho moved her left hand and her face turned a little red.

Mitsuri Kanroji was the most outrageous. She was about to pull open her collar and look down. Fortunately, Shinobu Kocho pulled her aside, making her realize how outrageous her behavior was.

After coming to her senses, she hugged Zhou Ming again without saying a word, expressing her gratitude with practical actions.

As for Gyoumei Hirame and Giyu Tomioka, there's no need to say much about their performance; in short, they were happy.

Several pillars were in their best condition, and Ubuyashiki Yoya had gained a completely new power that he had never had before.

Originally, he was deeply troubled by the curse, and it was very difficult for him to survive. Later, the curse disappeared and he recovered his health, but his health was only at the level of an ordinary person, and it was hard to say how strong he was.

He has been working hard to improve his physical fitness in recent years, but he is still far behind Zhu.

But now, he has achieved great success in one step, skipping the years of hard work of the pillars. However, he does not know swordsmanship, and currently he only has a good body, while his fighting ability has not increased much.

After the pillars are transformed, the next step is for the team members below.

The team members didn't care at all about this kind of thing. It was already difficult for them to stay alive, so as long as they didn't die, what else was unacceptable?

And as mentioned before, many of the older team members have died at the hands of Kabane.

More than half of the current Demon Slayer Corps are new blood that joined after the appearance of Kabane. Even among the original veterans, many were once the lowest-level team members. They do have hatred for demons, but the degree of hatred is obviously not as great as that of the pillars.

Lian Zhu can put aside his prejudices and embrace the power of "ghosts" for the future of all mankind. Why would they be unwilling when it is their turn?

Of course, with so many people in the Demon Slayer Corps, it is impossible for everyone to be willing to accept transformation.

In the end, more than a hundred people rejected this proposal. They would rather die than become "ghosts". Even though the ghosts now and before were two different things, they still could not accept this change.

Zhou Ming respects them. If they are unwilling, then forget it. He will only reform those who are willing.

With his current strength, it took less than a day to transform the entire Demon Slayer Corps.

A day later, the Demon Slayer Corps had completely transformed into a powerful organization composed entirely of undead.

When humans face Kabane, the biggest problem is that one will die while the other will not. Especially after being bitten, even if humans do not die on the spot, they are very likely to turn into Kabane after returning to the fortress.

In the original work, humans who are lucky enough not to become Kabane will become Kabaneri, which is between Kabane and humans and possesses powerful strength.

But I don’t know if it’s because of the difference between the worlds, but in the Demon Slayer world, Kabanelli has not appeared yet. Almost everyone who is bitten eventually turns into an irrational monster.

Now that they have undergone transformation, at least they don’t have to worry about turning into monsters when they are bitten.

Their bodies will actively devour things that are harmful to the body and convert them into energy for the body.

And they don't have to worry about death, as long as their entire heads are not eaten, they can keep fighting.

In order to directly experience this change, the gate of the fortress was quickly opened, and a hundred team members, led by Kyojuro and Uzui Tengen, rushed out and attacked the nearest group of Kabane.

The entire battle, from the initial stalemate, quickly turned into a one-sided massacre.

However, the targets of the massacre were Kabane. Considering their status as monsters, this could not be considered a massacre, but rather revenge and the recovery of lost territory.

The battle was declared over within a few minutes, and everyone who returned to the fortress roared with hearty joy. The emotions that had been suppressed in their hearts for a long time were finally fully released.
