Kagaya Ubuyashiki looked at Tanjirou Kamado.
"Unfortunately, Tanjirou's family was supposedly attacked by Muzan, and other than his sister being turned into a demon by Muzan, only Tanjirou, who was selling charcoal down the mountain and couldn't return home in time due to the heavy snow at night, survived."
"After discussions between Shimizu and Giyuu, Tanjirou is willing to teach us the Hinokami Kagura dance, which evolved from the Original Breathing Technique, but his requirement is that we can turn Nezuko back into a human, or at least protect Nezuko's safety."
Sanemi Shinazugawa's head throbbed upon hearing this.
"What are you even talking about? How can a demon possibly turn back into a human? And why should we protect a man-eating demon? Listen, kid, even without that so-called Original Breathing Technique, I can still kill demons!"
Sanemi Shinazugawa said fiercely to Tanjirou.
Among the Demon Slayer Corps, his malice towards demons was the greatest.
"Nezuko isn't a man-eating demon! She has never eaten a human, and she won't eat humans!"
Tanjirou Kamado retorted at Sanemi Shinazugawa.
Sanemi smiled cruelly.
"Bullshit, I've never seen a demon that doesn't eat humans!"
"His sister is special, she is indeed a demon who doesn't eat humans, and even actively protects Tanjirou. At the very least, we can place his sister in a restricted location, such as Mount Sagiri, under the special care of the former Water Pillar, Urokodaki. This way, we won't lose any of the Demon Slayer Corps' current strength, and we can also ensure that Nezuko won't harm anyone."
Shimizu said at this time.
"Since it's a demon, it's better to kill it."
Sanemi Shinazugawa said dissatisfied.
"I agree with Shimizu's suggestion."
Giyuu Tomioka raised his hand.
"Well, you've really given me a flashy and difficult choice. But since the demon won't cause harm, I'll tentatively agree. After all, I'm also very curious about this so-called Original Breathing Technique."
Tengen Uzui said.
Subsequently, the other Pillars also expressed their respective opinions.
Obanai Iguro agreed to kill Nezuko, Gyomei Himejima chose to agree with Shimizu, and Shinobu Kocho abstained.
At this point, only Kyoujurou Rengoku, representing the Flame Pillar, remained.
"If we can ensure that Nezuko won't harm anyone, I am willing to trust Shimizu-kun and the young Kamado."
Kyoujurou Rengoku said with a full voice.
Tanjirou breathed a sigh of relief.
One abstention, four in favor, two against, Nezuko was saved.
Shimizu, on the other hand, remained calm.
Because he was certain that even among the Pillars, if fewer people agreed to keep Nezuko alive, Kagaya Ubuyashiki would definitely choose to save Nezuko.
Everyone understands the value of the Original Breathing Technique, and Kagaya Ubuyashiki, as the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, would definitely make a choice based on the overall situation.
Because the Original Breathing Technique, if anyone can learn it, will undoubtedly greatly enhance the Demon Slayer Corps' combat power.
This is also the only thing known so far, besides sunlight, that can pose a threat to Muzan.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki is a qualified, even excellent, leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, and would not make any other choice.
"Then, from now on, Nezuko will be taken care of by the former Water Pillar, Sakonji Urokodaki. I, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, will vouch for her. As long as Nezuko doesn't harm anyone in the future, we will not do anything to harm Nezuko either. Tanjirou, now, I wonder if you are willing to teach us the Original Breathing Technique?"
"Um... actually, I don't really understand the Original Breathing Technique either, but Senior Shimizu said that the Hinokami Kagura, which has been passed down in our family for generations, is the Original Breathing Technique. It's just that although my father taught me all of the Hinokami Kagura, this dance is very difficult, and I can only barely perform the first few forms."
Tanjirou said, scratching his head.
"Then please demonstrate it first, Tanjirou. If you can't demonstrate it, you can draw the movements on paper and tell us verbally, and we will try to recreate them."
Shimizu reminded.
He deliberately designed this scene in order to quickly extract the Hinokami Kagura from Tanjirou's hands.
"Alright then."
Under everyone's gaze, Tanjirou stood in the center, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Use this to demonstrate."
Shimizu handed the Nichirin Blade, still in its scabbard, to Tanjirou.
"Then, I'll begin!"
Without a single mistake, one move, one stance, one content, all in one look!
Tanjirou took a long breath, closed his eyes, recalled the dance his father had taught him, stood upright, and raised the hand holding the Nichirin Blade.
A dance with a strange rhythm was performed by Tanjirou. Shimizu watched this scene intently, while simultaneously transmitting the memories in his mind to his main body and the avatar in the DC world.
Although they are the same person, the main body and the avatar in the DC world have surpassed the avatar in the Demon Slayer world in their mastery of Wind Breathing and Thunder Breathing, so they may have more insights.
"That movement is very similar to Water Wheel."
Giyuu Tomioka finally said his first sentence since entering the Ubuyashiki residence.
"The movements here are very similar to the first form of Wind Breathing and Thunder Breathing. Tanjirou's movements should not be standard enough, and the speed is not fast enough, and he doesn't even know how to hold a sword. Otherwise, this move, combined with breathing techniques, should be a fast forward thrust."
Shimizu sat cross-legged on the ground and speculated.
"Same as what I was thinking! There's a move in Flame Breathing called Shiranui that has a high degree of similarity to this move!"
Several Pillars also began to compare Tanjirou's movements with the breathing techniques they had learned.
They discovered that almost every movement of Tanjirou's could be found in the five basic breathing techniques.
At this moment, everyone was convinced that this young man did possess the long-lost Original Breathing Technique.
"Ah!"
Tanjirou suddenly fell to the ground, clutching his foot.
"His physical fitness and flexibility are insufficient, and he forcibly made movements that he couldn't make, spraining his ankle."
Tengen Uzui walked to Tanjirou's side, reached out and pressed on the latter's ankle, and twisted his hands.
"Crack!"
"Ahhhhhh!!"
Tanjirou let out an even more miserable scream.
"Uzui has already helped you put the bone back in place. After a while, come with me, I'll prescribe some herbal medicine to apply, and you'll be able to recover tomorrow."
Shinobu Kocho followed, smiling.
"Ah, ah, arigato!"
Tanjirou gasped and said loudly.
The next day, after Tanjirou's foot injury healed, he didn't continue to demonstrate, but instead drew all the movements that Tanjuro had taught him roughly on paper and handed them over to several Pillars for discussion.
