Lin Yoriichi, Giyu Tomioka, and Tengen Uzui moved, turning into three afterimages as they vanished from the street.
Several nearby visitors could not help rubbing their eyes at the sight, convinced their eyes were playing tricks on them.
The next moment, all three appeared atop a building near Kyogoku House.
Lin Yoriichi watched as Tengen Uzui tugged off his loose clothing and flung it aside, somehow returning to his usual attire!
The trick left Lin Yoriichi in awe.
As expected of the Sound Hashira, who had been a ninja, his "one-click outfit change" was truly flamboyant!
Tengen Uzui cautiously surveyed their surroundings, then nodded to Lin Yoriichi.
Clearly, he too had noticed something unusual here.
Then Tengen Uzui began gesturing to Lin Yoriichi and Giyu Tomioka, conveying his thoughts:
"There are a great many civilians here. We need to proceed carefully."
"Try to kill the demon in one go to keep the civilians from getting caught up in it."
"To achieve a surprise attack, we should wait until we strike to activate our bright red Nichirin swords."
After finishing their communication, Tengen Uzui could not help drawing a quiet breath, suppressing the hint of agitation in his heart.
He had thought they were only coming to gather information tonight, but Mr. Yoriichi had unexpectedly noticed something amiss right away.
They had gone straight from gathering information to taking action on the spot.
Lin Yoriichi nodded, indicating that he understood Tengen Uzui's meaning.
Giyu Tomioka, however, looked at Lin Yoriichi in some confusion, then at Tengen Uzui.
What were these two gesturing about?
Were they having a "conversation"?
Why couldn't he understand their "conversation"?
At that moment, Giyu Tomioka could not help recalling the previous Hashira Meeting, when Obanai Iguro and Sanemi Shinazugawa had been talking quietly, only to stop communicating
