Unfortunately, Kamado Tanjuro died too young, and even though Tanjiro learned Dance of the Fire God at the young age of twelve, it was difficult for him to complete the jump.
"It's alright. I hope you can demonstrate it once in a while, Tanjiro. It's fine if the twelve dance styles are separated. I learn things very quickly and can learn anything at a glance."
"Alright then, I'll demonstrate it to you after the snow stops."
"No, let's do it now."
Even the stubborn Tanjiro wouldn't be too obstinate about something like this.
I can quickly jump through it once, and then come back to have a cup of hot tea.
"Hoo, hoo, hoo, Mr. Meikyō, you should have memorized everything, right?"
On the snow, Tanjiro, panting heavily, spoke to Uchiha Meikyō in the distance.
He felt that Meikyō's eyes seemed a little different; they were red and seemed to glow.
Is it just my imagination?
But are there really people who can remember something after seeing it only once?
The book does mention that many talented and brilliant people have this ability.
Perhaps this Mr. Meikyō is also that kind of person?
"Tanjiro, thank you. I've memorized everything."
Meikyō Sharingan and nodded in response to Tanjiro.
Tanjiro divided the twelve dance styles of Dance of the Fire God into several segments before finally managing to dance them all, albeit haltingly.
"Let's go back inside. There's something I need to tell you and Mrs. Kie."
Tanjiro's expression suddenly became alert.
He hadn't forgotten that the boy in front of him, who wasn't much older than himself, had a peculiar bloody smell about him.
That's the smell of blood that comes from killing many lives!
Although Meikyō doesn't know how Meikyo could have had such an experience at his age, it doesn't stop him from thinking that Meikyō Tanjiro dangerous.
"Onii-chan, Meikyō- kun, hurry inside after you finish dancing the Dance of the Fire God! Mother said the tea will get cold if we don't drink it soon!"
Kamado Nezuko, clinging to the door, shouted loudly at the two people outside the window.
A dozen minutes later.
"What the hell? Sun Breathing and all that? There are no ghosts in this world. Dance of the Fire God is just the Dance of the Fire God down through generations of the Kamado family. It's not some kind of Sun Breathing. And we're not going to leave our homes and move down the mountain with you just because of what you said!"
Tanjiro looked at Uchiha Meikyō and said in a resolute tone.
Lady Kie stood blankly to one side, worried that Tanjiro and Meikyō would clash, and also worried that Meikyō's brain had been frostbitten and he was talking nonsense.
Uchiha Meikyō poured himself a cup of hot tea, took a comfortable sip, and smacked his lips.
"It's alright, Tanjiro. I was just informing you, not asking for your opinions, okay?"
"What do you mean?"
Tanjiro realized that Uchiha Meikyō was indeed a bad person, and secretly moved towards the axe in the corner.
He clearly remembered that the person in front of him was carrying a knife!
"That's exactly what I mean."
Meikyō's figure flashed behind Tanjiro in an instant, gripped the hilt of his sword in reverse, and struck Tanjiro on the back of the head.
Ouch!
Tanjiro cried out, covered his bumpy head with his hand, and turned to glare angrily at Meikyō.
"His head is as hard as iron. Let's use Genjutsu."
Meikyō was amazed by Tanjiro's stubbornness, so he opened his Sharingan and looked at Tanjiro.
Tanjiro was instantly knocked unconscious by the Genjutsu.
Kie was so frightened that she was about to scream, but Meikyō quickly covered her mouth.
"Madam Kie, you don't want your family to suffer any harm, do you? You'd better come down the mountain with me obediently."
Kie originally planned to shout loudly when they got down the mountain and into the town, hoping someone would come to rescue them.
Unexpectedly, several people, completely covered up, soon arrived on the mountain in a cart and helped them pack their belongings.
Although Meikyō is not a Pillar yet, no one does not regard him as one, and he basically enjoys all the powers of a Pillar.
In terms of strength, he has already proven himself in his sparring matches with several pillars.
In terms of achievements and contributions, he has already killed more than forty demons, and it is only a matter of time before he reaches fifty and becomes a Pillar.
Along with them came a beautiful girl who looked like a butterfly.
"Meikyō- jun, I heard from Lord Amane that you found the person who will inherit the Initial Breathing Technique this time? Is it this family?"
Kochō Shinobu used her beautiful purple eyes to observe the Kamado family, who were carrying luggage with several other ninjas in the distance.
"Well, perhaps because other swordsmen who inherited the Sun Breathing technique in history were all wiped out, the ancestors of the Kamado family evolved the Sun Breathing into a dance to pray for peace to the Dance of the Fire God. The boy I knocked out is one of the only two inheritors of Dance of the Fire God today, the eldest son of the Kamado family, Tanjiro Kamado."
A knowing glint flashed in Shinobu's eyes.
No wonder this family member is physically weak; they don't seem to know any Breathing Techniques.
But...
"Only two? There's also Tanjiro, why is he..."
Meikyō touched his nose to hide his embarrassment.
"The only two reasons are, of course, because the other person is me. After watching Tanjiro demonstrate Dance of the Fire God once, I had memorized it. As for Tanjiro... that kid is very stubborn, and I'm not very good at persuading people with reason, so I can only persuade them with physics."
Several black lines appeared on Kochō Shinobu's forehead.
No wonder she kept glancing this way at Kie, her movements full of vigilance.
"Never mind, I'll go and talk to the Kamado family myself!"
Kochō Shinobu was already used to this kind of situation.
Among the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps, there are few normal people. If it were Tomioka Giyuu or Meikyō Shinazugawa Sanemi, it would probably be even worse. Like Uzui Tengen, Myokyo still uses the "highly efficient" methods of ninjas when doing many things.
"Moshi moshi~ Mrs. Kie, I am Kochō Shinobu, a colleague of Meikyō. Meikyō is only twelve or thirteen years old. Because of his past experiences, he is not very good at getting along with people. I apologize to you on his behalf."
Kochō Shinobu walked to Mrs. Kie's side and gave a light bow in apology.
Kochō Shinobu clearly has high emotional intelligence, and her gentle smile is very reassuring.
Although Kie had reservations about Breathing Technique and demons, her conversation with Kochō Shinobu convinced her that they weren't bad people who wanted to harm them.
"Lord Meikyō."
After packing his luggage, a hidden figure jogged over to Meikyō's side.
"Everything is arranged, it's time to set off."
Meikyō nodded gently.
"We need to be quick. We must get this family down the mountain before dark to avoid being attacked by ghosts."
"Hi!"
Although he felt that with two pillars here, he could handle even a demon attack, he quickly stood at attention and responded, perhaps out of concern for ordinary people like the Kamado family.
