"Bastard! Who cares about the Demon Slayer Corps?" the boar-headed man roared, picking up his nichirin blade and attacking.
"Slayers aren't allowed to fight each other, don't you know that? Our primary mission is to eliminate the demon in this house," Tanjiro shouted, parrying his attacks.
Uchiha Nagi looked at the two of them, speechless, and called out to Tanjiro, "Let me handle it! Hey, Xiao Zhuzhu, do you dare to compete with me? Whoever cleans out the demons in this house first, whoever kills more, wins. How about it?"
"I don't care about any of that! Bring it on! I want to fight you! You're stronger!"
"Hey, you're not scared, are you? If you're scared, then forget it..."
"Get lost! Who's scared? I'll compete! Also, my name is Hashibira Inosuke, not Xiao Zhuzhu! Don't just give people nicknames!"
With that, the boar-headed masked man—no, he should be called Hashibira Inosuke—jumped up excitedly, pointed his nichirin blade in one direction, and roared, "Ahhh, there's a demon over here! Kill it! Pig Assault!"
"Hey, I've got something for you." Uchiha Nagi tossed him a Military Ration Pill. Although people in this world don't have Chakra, the fundamental use of Military Ration Pills remains the same: to restore various nutrients and energy to the human body.
"This is something that can restore your stamina. You haven't eaten in three days, have you?"
Hashibira Inosuke took the Military Ration Pill, sniffed it, and then swallowed it whole. "Ohh, good stuff! My strength is more abundant! Ahhh, Pig Assault!"
With that, he burst through the wall like a wild beast and charged out, as excited as if he had taken Viagra... Uchiha Nagi slowly turned to Tanjiro. "See? For someone so single-minded, this is the only way..."
Tanjiro: "..."
Without the Drum Demon's control, the house slowly returned to normal. Rooms no longer shifted, and gravity no longer changed direction arbitrarily, making the fight much easier. The remaining demons weren't among the Twelve Kizuki, so cleaning them up wasn't difficult.
Tanjiro walked over to the beheaded Drum Demon and was comforting him. No matter how many evil deeds he had committed, before death, he would always recall his memories as a human.
Most of them were originally ordinary people who were transformed into demons for various reasons. As humans, many of them were inherently good-natured, but slowly, as their desire to eat humans and their power increased, they forgot their human memories and their true nature.
"Pitiable? Once he fell, he was no longer worthy of pity from others," Uchiha Nagi said.
"I know. No one will forgive him, and his wrongdoings are not worthy of forgiveness. I just feel sad for him," Tanjiro sighed.
Uchiha Nagi looked at Tanjiro. To be honest, he didn't particularly like such pure-hearted people, but thinking about the Uchiha crazy clan and the intrigue of Konoha in the Naruto World, it was more relaxing to be with simple people.
The so-called Will of Fire was just a slogan; in reality, it was only naked self-interest. Even the Hyuga clan head's younger brother could be casually handed over to die.
But here, it seemed there was nothing but protecting ordinary people and slaying demons; no scheming or backstabbing. Life was simple and comfortable.
"Hahahahaha, I found you! Pig Assault!"
Inside the house, the boar-headed man's shouts faintly echoed. Single-minded people are easy to fool. Let him handle the remaining small fry.
Without a nichirin blade, Uchiha Nagi was too lazy to clean them up. After all, those immortal creatures were too troublesome to deal with.
Not long after, Tanjiro and Zenitsu began to clean the house, carrying the deceased ordinary people outside for burial. Three ordinary people who had been rescued also accompanied them.
Just as Tanjiro and another person were carrying out another corpse, he saw a horrifying scene: Xiao Zhuzhu Inosuke, the boar-headed man, raised his nichirin blade and charged towards the wooden box where his sister Nezuko was hidden, intending to kill her.
"Stop it!" Tanjiro shouted. Tanjiro was already too late. At that moment, Uchiha Nagi used the Body Flicker Technique, appeared in front of the wooden box, and activated his Sharingan.
"Hey, Xiao Zhuzhu, look at me..."
"Hmm?" Xiao Zhuzhu Inosuke accidentally glanced at Uchiha Nagi's red three-tomoe Sharingan and instantly fell under a genjutsu.
"Hahahaha, Pig Assault! Pig Assault! I'll cut you down!"
Watching Xiao Zhuzhu Inosuke foolishly swing his nichirin blade at the air, eventually unable to move, his eyes spinning as he collapsed to the ground and fell asleep, everyone else looked bewildered.
Zenitsu cautiously walked over and nudged him. "This guy seems to have passed out. Is he sick? Why is he randomly swinging his nichirin blade at the air?"
Driven by curiosity, Zenitsu removed the boar-head mask the man had been wearing.
"Eh—a girl?!?!"
"Ah..." Zenitsu shrieked, as if petrified. "Under such a strong body, it's actually a girl's face! A monster!"
"..."
"..." A short while later, after everyone had dug the pits and was ready to place the victims' bodies for burial, Xiao Zhuzhu Inosuke woke up again.
"Ahhh!" Inosuke roared, flipping up and jumping to his feet. "A decisive battle! Huh? As soon as I wake up, I find a demon! Ooh-ooh, Pig Assault!"
With that, he picked up his nichirin blade and charged towards Nezuko, determined to cut her down. Tanjiro quickly stepped in front of him. "Stop! That's my sister! She's not a bad person; she hasn't harmed anyone."
"Who cares about that? If you don't want me to kill her, then come and fight me in a decisive battle!" Xiao Zhuzhu Inosuke roared.
"Hm?" Suddenly, Inosuke felt a cool sensation on his face. He touched it and realized his mask wasn't on. "Bastard! Who took my mask?"
Zenitsu, grinning, said, "You're as pretty as a girl, why wear a boar-head mask?"
"Hm? Do you have a problem with my face?" With that, he charged at Zenitsu with a gloomy expression, raising his nichirin blade, ready to fight.
"Ahhh, help me!"
Zenitsu immediately ran behind Uchiha Nagi, whose mouth twitched uncontrollably. Such a timid double personality was truly a rare gem.
"Hey, Xiao Zhuzhu, look at me~"
"Hm?" As Xiao Zhuzhu Inosuke charged in front of Uchiha Nagi, he once again fell under a genjutsu, then roared at the air, and subsequently fell asleep again.
"That's amazing, Mr. Nagi! How did you do it? You defeated him just by looking at him?" Zenitsu asked, his face full of admiration.
"This is genjutsu. You want to learn it? I'll teach you. It's an equivalent exchange; you can teach me Thunder Breathing."
