Sasuke's deep-seated resentment was plain to Shinji, who possessed the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. But at that moment, he had little time to focus on Sasuke.
"Rengoku Kyojuro?" Shinji frowned slightly, thinking, How could it be him?!
He had estimated that since the "Lantern Bearer" in the Demon Slayer World had seized the Demon King's power, the Demon Slayer Corps there had probably already been wiped out.
After all, even in the original timeline of the Demon Slayer World, the Twelve Kizuki were collectively stronger than the Demon Slayer Corps.
And with the "Lantern Bearer," who had seized the Demon King's power, added to their ranks, the Demon Slayer Corps had even less chance of standing against the demons.
So when he saw Rengoku Kyojuro standing before him with a sword in hand and a solemn expression, he couldn't hide his surprise.
"Wait!"
Shinji's expression suddenly turned grave.
Earlier, because Rengoku Kyojuro had no trace of blood on him, and because Shinji knew what kind of person he was, Shinji had instinctively assumed he was still a swordsman.
But after taking in the details of Rengoku Kyojuro's appearance, he realized that the man had already become a demon!
He abruptly looked up at the sky, his face full of disbelief.
A demon was standing right there in the sunlight!
Rengoku Kyojuro, standing opposite him, held his long sword horizontally and sighed. "I'm very sorry. I have to stop you!"
Sasuke called out, "Who are you people? Why are you attacking us?"
Rengoku Kyojuro looked at Sasuke. "I'm very sorry!"
"You..."
Sasuke froze for a moment.
In truth, Sasuke was far more perceptive than the average ninja.
Perhaps it was thanks to his bloodline as a Bloodline Ninja with dōjutsu. Perhaps it was because he was the reincarnation of Ōtsutsuki Indra.
Whatever
