Anime: Fight Sukuna at the beginning?

When Nakamori Yuto woke up at Rengoku's house, it was just dawn.

Feeling that the battle was approaching and that his strength was still a little insufficient, Nakamori Yuto could no longer sleep peacefully.

The swordsman quietly passed by Fang Yi's room, made sure not to wake Fang Yi, and slipped out to practice sword skills.

After the battle last night, after Fang Yi's review of the battle, he had more insights into the sword skills of the [Water Breathing] school.

And he needed to get his body moving to test his insights that Fang Yi had given him last night, and at the same time improve his sword skills.

After Nakamori Yuto completed his daily slashing practice and demonstrated his sword skills several times, he was surprised to find that there was another person in the courtyard.

Yellow hair, part of the edge of his hair was red, like a several-size larger Rengoku Chijuro.

[It's the former Flame Pillar Rengoku Makijuro! He's awake? 】

Although he had some prejudice against this unshaven, decadent-looking man who looked more like a drunkard than a swordsman, Nakamori Yuto still stopped practicing and greeted the former Flame Pillar.

Unexpectedly, the former Flame Pillar just stared blankly into the distance and did not respond to Nakamori Yuto's greeting.

When Nakamori Yuto was about to continue practicing sword skills, Rengoku Makijuro suddenly said something.

"From the mask you're wearing, are you a disciple of Urokodaki Sakonji? You look very young, and your swordsmanship is so-so, but you're a person with a little talent."

"But no matter what, I still want to thank you for saving Senjuro last night."

After saying that, he took another sip of wine and said vaguely, "What do you want from me? Money? Or something else?"

"It's a bit unusual for a swordsman like you to appear here."

"I'm afraid you're following the order of Ubuyashiki and want me to come out again? Tell him it's impossible."

Before Nakamori Yuto could say a word, the former Flame Pillar said a bunch of things he thought were correct like a string of cannonballs, leaving Nakamori Yuto at a loss for words.

The former Flame Pillar put down the wine jar, walked into the courtyard, took a wooden sword from the shelf beside him, and said to Nakamori Yuto.

"Your new ideas about sword skills are very good. I just have time to help you reorganize these frivolous ideas."

"Just like forging a sword, remove those useless impurities and become pure."

"Use the sword in your hand to attack me."

Nakamori Yuto was about to refute the other party, pointing out that it was Fang Yi who saved everyone last night, and reminding the other party that he was holding a sharp sun wheel sword, while the other party was holding a wooden sword.

But he didn't expect Rengoku Makijuro to attack with a wooden sword.

"Why are you stunned? If you are so absent-minded on the battlefield, the enemy will chop off your head."

The wooden sword in Rengoku Makijuro's hand sent a great force. Nakamori Yuto had a lot of ideas in his mind and raised the sword directly to deal with it, but he didn't expect the other party's wooden sword to pick and circle, and then hit it hard.

The Sun Blade in Nakamori Yuto's hand flew out. In a flash, he, who had just been complacent about his understanding of some sword skills, had already realized the gap between himself and the former Flame Pillar.

[As expected of the former pillar, he not only has extraordinary insight, but also has a very deep understanding of swordsmanship]

Rengoku Makijuro looked at Nakamori Yuto who had gained something and shook his head, "Sure enough, talented people are rare, and the rest are a mob."

"Talent is destined by birth, and those who don't have the talent like those who are chosen will eventually die like mustard grass."

Looking at the young Nakamori Yuto, Rengoku Makijuro seemed to remember his son who was missing and whose life or death was unknown. The aura of a swordsman on him dissipated without a trace, and he turned back into that drunkard.

The former Flame Pillar dropped the wooden sword and sat back, raised the wine jar and took a sip, and gave his advice to Nakamori Yuto.

"It's a pity for someone like you to die. You should quit the Demon Slayer Corps as soon as possible."

"There will be no good ending if you stay in the Demon Slayer Corps. Sometimes you can't even leave your body."

"I don't know whether I'm dead or alive. I don't even know when my funeral will be held."

After saying that, the former Flame Pillar lowered his head and secretly wiped his tears with his sleeve while Nakamori Yuto went to pick up his Nichirin Sword that was knocked away.

He took another sip of wine to suppress the pain and sadness in his heart and pretended to be calm.

Nakamori Yuto picked up his Nichirin Sword and thought about what happened in the past two days. He didn't feel discouraged, but was full of motivation to become stronger.

He said to the former Flame Pillar word by word.

"I am indeed a person with no talent. I should have died that night."

"I am just a weakling who survived by chance. Like so many ordinary swordsmen, I might die in the next battle."

"You may not believe it, Mr. Rengoku Makijuro, but two days ago I was still thinking about how to escape from the Demon Slayer Corps."

Recalling the experience of these two short days, it started from the time he met Fang Yi at the base and heard the words "the demon slayer".

Everything in his life was off the track.

He killed the first demon under the command of the opponent, and he fought fiercely with the Lower String Five after gaining a lot of knowledge and skills from that man.

Then he analyzed the command in Fang Yi's sentence, fought against two Lower String Demons, and witnessed the legendary demon Upper String Three being killed by Fang Yi.

Last night, under Fang Yi's command and ability, he killed two more evil ghosts and fought a powerful enemy.

This was something he never dared to think of in the past.

Who dares to think like this?

[In this land, the gravity of reality is too heavy, and any thoughts that transcend and soar will fall to the ground with a bang]

Nakamori Yuto clenched the Nichirin sword in his hand, but he knew that he had long since gotten rid of this bondage because a stronger "gravity" appeared.

[He is everywhere like gravity, and like a lighthouse, he illuminates our way forward, gathers everyone's hope, and leads us to victory]

He said to Rengoku Makijuro very seriously.

"Although I am still a little confused now, I will never escape and retreat like before."

"Ghosts eat people, people kill ghosts."

"This is why I insist on killing ghosts, it's very simple and easy to understand."

"I will follow the footsteps of Lord Fang Yi and walk along the road of exterminating ghosts, even if the destination is the underworld."

Looking at the determined Nakamori Yuto in front of him, Rengoku Makijuro seemed to remember something. Such a person seemed to exist in his memory.

At this time, Nakamori Yuto holding a knife was just like Rengoku Kyojuro standing here telling him to go on a mission to kill ghosts.

"Father, I have become a 'pillar' and I am going to set off to carry out the mission. Please take care of yourself."

[Such determined and talented people really appear one after another. 】

He stopped drinking, but said a little depressed, "It's a pity that you are not a genius among ten thousand, you will die."

Fang Yi, who had just walked out of the door and was ready to breathe fresh air, only heard Rengoku Makijuro's words, and he shook his head.

"A one in a million genius, such a familiar phrase, as if someone is calling me?"
