Preaching to the World × Rengoku Kyojuro Converts

He who kills will be killed by others.

Since Muzan had already decided to kill, he couldn't blame Roy for starting the crime. If he went too far, he should at least be killed to give the world a peaceful night.

The Hashira Meeting ended with Roy taking on the "Mugen Train" mission alone.

The pillars dispersed in twos and threes, each going off to carry out their own tasks... Giyu Tomioka came to Roy's side, patted him on the shoulder, said nothing, yet seemed to have said everything, and left with a heart full of relief and expectation, wearing a haori interwoven with red, yellow and white.

After leaving the courtyard, the Sun-Earring Boy stopped in the Wisteria Forest and smiled at Giyu Tomioka beside him, saying, "Farewell, senior brother."

Giyu Tomioka glanced at Roy, then looked over Roy's shoulder at Rengoku Kyojuro, who was slowly following behind. He nodded thoughtfully, then vanished in a flash.

"Kamado Eiichiro Wisteria Forest covering the mountains, one dressed in white with red hair, and the other in brown with yellow hair, their ends tinged with red, met under Wisteria tree so thick that even three people couldn't encircle it.

Rengoku Kyojuro called out to Roy, his cheerful demeanor and fiery spirit Gate of Opening point. "I have a few sword techniques; please instruct me."

As "Flame Hashira" spoke, he bowed deeply and bent over... He was as fiery and urgent as a flame, yet he never lost his manners, making it impossible for anyone to feel any aversion towards him.

In the original work, Rengoku Kyojuro is one of the few Pillars who, apart from the Master, is deeply loved by all the Pillars and is known as the "warm-hearted older brother." Even the usually irritable Shinazugawa Sanemi and the cunning Obanai Iguro, who occasionally utters sharp words, cannot say a word to him. This shows just how upright and good Rengoku Kyojuro is.

It was precisely because of this that Roy took the initiative to take on the "Mugen Train" mission, thus avoiding the fate of the man who would die.

"I wouldn't dare presume to offer my guidance; please go ahead."

"Good."

Rengoku Kyojuro, true to his straightforward nature, didn't waste any words. He drew his sword and, beneath the tall Wisteria tree, began practicing "Flame Breathing."

From "First Form: Shiranui" to "Second Form: Rising Flame" and "Third Form: All- Blazing Universe"... Blade light swirls and flames roar incessantly, and Rengoku Kyojuro dances before Roy like a fire spirit wielding his sword.

Roy summoned [En] and quietly watched and listened, even faster than learning [Feng], accompanied by... Rengoku Kyojuro's final strike... "Ninth Form: Rengoku" transformed into a fire dragon, roaring and rushing into the distance, burning a long scorch mark in its wake, instantly understanding the Qi Circulation and technique of "Fire Breathing".

It can only be said that there is a reason why "Flame Breathing" is considered a lower-level alternative to "Sun Breathing".

"Hoo~" After completing a set of "Flame Breathing" techniques, Rengoku Kyojuro, wearing a white haori with flame patterns at the tail, looked intently at the Sun-Earring Boy... Roy didn't rush to speak, but simply reached out and gently Rengoku Kyojuro's shoulder, transferring a layer of Nen Qi imbued with [True Meaning of Scorching Heat] to him.

"Whoosh~" The outer flame was crimson, the inner flame white... A cloak of flames, swirling with Nen Qi, enveloped Rengoku Kyojuro. This eldest son of the Rengoku Family, aspiring to inherit the name "Flame Hashira," had, despite his father Shinjuro's despondency and reluctance to guide his and his younger brother Senjuro's training, still managed to master "Flame Breathing" through three manuals, developing his own unique swordsmanship. However... after observing, touching, and slowly experiencing the "cloak of flames" that Roy had briefly bestowed upon him...

Rengoku Kyojuro was confused...

This fire was not that fire. Rengoku Kyojuro could clearly sense that compared to the terrifying white "flame cloak" that emanated from his final strike, "Rengoku," the fire dragon roaring forth was nothing more than a "pseudo-fire dragon," or even... a "paper dragon" that possessed power but had no real core!

"Where exactly did things go wrong?"

Having witnessed Roy's hundred-meter-long sword wreathed in flames before, and now personally experiencing the flaming cloak imbued with [Scorching Heat Intent]... Rengoku Kyojuro stood there, stunned, before regaining his senses and staring intently at Roy, asking, "Why is your fire hotter than mine?"

To paraphrase a certain fruit farmer's understanding of "Nen Ability," personality influences Nen, and also determines the type of Nen and the path one takes Rengoku Kyojuro's personality is fiery, more suited to flames Roy, but... unfortunately, he is not Nen user. And this regret determines him, determines Himejima Gyomei, determines Shinazugawa Sanemi... Obanai Iguro, and all the Pillars, including his senior Giyu Tomioka, have their upper limit locked in the category of [human].

"Whoosh~" The wind blew Wisteria... The moment they touched Rengoku Kyojuro, they were burned to ashes by the fiery cloak that enveloped him...

Roy remained silent, looking up at the sky. Rengoku Kyojuro followed his gaze. The afternoon sun was just right, not as intense as at midday, but in this early spring when the weather was still chilly, the few rays of sunlight filtering through the Wisteria Forest were still warm and comforting.

"What did you see?" the Sun-Earring Boy suddenly asked.

Rengoku Kyojuro's gaze pierced through the white clouds, past the birds, and straight into the blue sky. High above, at the very edge of the heavens, he saw a Great Sun relentlessly showering its light. He said in a deep voice, "It's the sun."

"That's right, it's the sun." Roy raised his hand, and a cloak of flames imbued with [Scorching Heat True Intent] detached from Rengoku Kyojuro at his will, returning to Roy's side and transforming into a wisp of fire at his fingertip, burning quietly...

Rengoku Kyojuro looked at the Sun-Earring Boy, who was gazing at the flickering flames, a touch of holiness appearing on his handsome face. "I suppose you already have the answer."

Your fire is just fire, but mine...

"Whoosh~" In an instant, two Great Sun ignited in his deep pupils. Roy turned his head and quietly looked at Rengoku Kyojuro, saying, "And mine is the sun!"

"Fireflies cannot compare to the sun; this is only natural."

"Pfft~" The flame at his fingertips went out and disappeared into Roy's body in an instant.

Rengoku Kyojuro was silent for a moment, then laughed nonchalantly, "As expected of a user of ' Sun Breathing,' your insight is indeed beyond my reach."

He would praise when he should praise and criticize when he should criticize. Rengoku Kyojuro was never the kind of person with a dirty mind or who was jealous of the talented. Just as his mother, Rengoku Ruka, told him when he was young... Those who are born strong are born with the responsibility of protecting the weak. They cannot use the talents bestowed upon them by God to harm others or enrich themselves.

Similarly, as the weaker party, Rengoku Kyojuro was willing to admit his shortcomings compared to Roy, but he had no intention of seeking the "Sun Breathing," even though he had realized that his fire was inferior to Roy's, which was a "fatal flaw," and therefore he did not harbor any covetous thoughts.

Instead, he patted Roy on the shoulder with delight and said, "Urokodaki- senpai once said that if anyone could kill Muzan Kibutsuji, it would definitely be you... At first, I didn't believe it, but now it seems..."

Rengoku Kyojuro said with utmost seriousness, "I also believe it will definitely be you."

"No, it's everyone." Roy's dark eyes seemed to see into Rengoku Kyojuro's heart. "I can be the sun, you can be, he can be... everyone can be... and this might only require each person to take a small step forward..."

How do I take the step?

"Praise the sun."

"I prayed fervently to the sun, beseeching it to grant me Divine Power, Dispelling Darkness, and deliver all living beings..."

1

Roy gazed at Rengoku Kyojuro: "And you, my friend, are you willing to take this small step?"

"Can I really do it?"

"If I can do it, so can you."

"How to do it."

"Look at me, kneel down."

The [Eyes of Truth] was like two Great Sun deeply imprinted in Rengoku Kyojuro's fiery red eyes. The Sun-Earring Boy said, "I will represent the sun and travel the world to bless you."

The simple words, amplified through recitation, become "Nen Telepathy," penetrating even deeper into Rengoku Kyojuro's heart...

His body jolted violently, as if he saw the Sunrise in the East, casting a sky full of rosy clouds, and as if he saw the sunset in the west, painting the horizon red. Then... a loud "~" sound rang in his ears, like a great bell tolling, making his scalp tingle. His right knee buckled, and he knelt down on one knee, prostrating himself at Roy's feet, saying, "I do."

[Hint: Host's "preaching" successful]

[Sect: Sun God Cult]

[One "Believer" detected. Host, please immediately arrange an "awarding ceremony" to bring them under your command.]

[Believer: Rengoku Kyojuro]

[Constitution: 17 (The average person's constitution is 1; with the help of Breathing Style, it can be increased tenfold to 170)]

[Manifested Aura: None (Needs further development)]

[Potential Aura: None (urgently needs development)]

Loyalty: 51/100 (Note: Loyalty increases gradually as the "Believer's " Faith in the sun deepens.)

The current host has been regarded by Rengoku Kyojuro as a companion he can rely on.

"Very good." Roy's mind stirred, and specks of light appeared on his right hand, like a "God's Messenger" from a storybook. He showed off his skills with a small gesture, creating a "miracle." He lightly Rengoku Kyojuro's shoulders with both hands, smiling as he looked at him and said, "Congratulations on becoming the 'Sun'."

[Note: The "Awarding of Medals" ceremony has been completed.]

[The Believer "Rengoku Kyojuro" has been bound.]

[Power of Faith +1]

That's it?

Rengoku Kyojuro rose suspiciously, just as Roy's palm, imbued with Nen Qi, struck him in the chest with lightning speed.

Rengoku Kyojuro's blond hair, the ends tinged with red, swung upside down with a gust of wind from his palm, and for a moment he felt... his whole body float up. He was about to angrily question Roy, "Why would a fellow Believer betray me?"

Suddenly, the Sun-Earring Boy shouted, "Don't get distracted! Quickly lock the ' Divine Power ' into your body!"

Just then, Rengoku Kyojuro noticed that, without him noticing, he was enveloped in a milky-white "energy." Upon closer inspection, he realized that all his shackles had vanished, and it was as if a withered tree had suddenly been reborn, surging with powerful energy from within... This must be the "Divine Power" that Eiichiro had mentioned!

The sun is real... [Divine Power] is real too... Kamado Eiichiro... no, I mean, the "God's Messenger" didn't lie to me... I can become the sun too..."

Avoiding fate and karma, all sorts of shackles bind the true self. By following fate and embracing karma, only today do I realize who I am... Having attained enlightenment and seen my true self, what fear is there of past shackles? Worldly shackles are but a dream, formless, without shape, and without self...

Rengoku Kyojuro clasped his hands together and devoutly said, "Praise the sun."

Following Roy's advice, I began trying to "lock" the energy dissipating from my body's surface back into my body.

As expected of a genius destined to become a "Pillar," although not as fast as "Killua" or "Gon," he inherited the excellent Bloodline of the Rengoku Family's generations of "Flame Hashira"... Under Roy's patient guidance, Rengoku Kyojuro slowly mastered [Ten].

[Hint: "Believer" Rengoku Kyojuro's Aura Nodes have been opened.]

[Officially becoming Nen user...]

...]

In the blink of an eye, the world changes... Leaping from a mortal into the world of "thought," Rengoku Kyojuro silently felt the "Divine Power" flowing endlessly and slowly within his body. He bent his right knee, knelt on one knee again, faced Roy, and solemnly bowed, saying, "Thank you, ' God's Messenger,' for enlightening me."

"Praise the sun." Roy smiled gently, took his arms and helped him up, saying with anticipation, "I can feel the sun's joy. It says you are a devout Believer with 'justice' and 'light,' and has instructed me to bestow upon you the method of cultivating ' Divine Power.'"

"Listen to me..."

[Entangle]...[Absolute]...[Practice]...[Send]... The Four Major Principles, imparting all their knowledge...

Rengoku Kyojuro listened intently, not daring to make the slightest mistake, and gradually realized the greatness of "Divine Power" from Roy's few words!

For example, [Entanglement]: After learning it, not only can it make the body stronger and keep one young, but it can also concentrate the mind, allowing one to focus on oneself, maintain a calm mood, and not be disturbed by other things. When attached to an object, such as Nichirin Sword, it can instantly Amplification the strength of the Nichirin Sword, allowing one to wield sword techniques far superior to those before, just as Eiichiro just demonstrated at the Master's mansion, possessing all sorts of incredible powers.

For example, [Jue] can actually conceal his "aura," reduce his own presence, and even... can silently "invisible" himself in front of Demon whose sense of smell is more sensitive than a dog's, bypassing its sense of smell and suddenly getting close. It's truly... unbelievable.

As for the subsequent training and techniques, Lord Eiichiro didn't elaborate, only instructing himself to first learn the "Entanglement" technique, using "Divine Power" to temper his body, then combine it with "Zetsu" to increase his "immediate combat power" for the upcoming mission, and then... learn more gradually...

Rengoku Kyojuro bowed deeply in agreement, his heart burning with fervor. He clasped his hands together, as devoutly as Himejima Gyomei to the Buddha, and looked up at the sun in the sky, solemnly declaring, "Praise the sun! I will not disappoint the sun and the God's Messenger."

Roy pointed to his forehead and smiled gently, "Remember, the sun will always be watching you, anticipating your progress."

"Yes." Rengoku Kyojuro took a deep breath, glanced at Roy again, and after saying this, a swamp appeared beneath his feet, instantly sinking into the ground and disappearing into the Wisteria Forest, leaving only Rengoku Kyojuro.

I stared blankly as the Great Sun set behind the western horizon.

After a moment, she murmured softly, "Father, you're wrong. You said that no matter how hard I try, I can't change the situation."

"Now...

Rengoku Kyojuro drew his sword, and with a casual slash imbued with Nen Qi, he unleashed a "flying flame" that was even more turbulent and fierce than his own all-out "Rengoku" strike...

She turned around, her haori, with flame patterns branded on the tail, swaying in the wind.

With a determined look, he walked home!

"Father, things are different now... Please take a good look, your son is not the same as before!"

"Tap... tap..."

Rengoku Kyojuro hurried away, following Roy, never before had he longed to return home as much as he had at this moment!
