Perhaps Yoriichi Tsugikuni was so strong because he had a physique similar to Hashirama Senju, with a naturally enhanced body.
It's just that he didn't have Hashirama Senju's powerful self-healing ability, but he had an extremely high affinity for natural energy, instinctively using natural energy from birth.
The so-called Sun Breathing is just something Yoriichi created based on his own breathing method to teach others.
It's just that others can't learn it, so they can only simplify Sun Breathing into other breathing techniques.
In other words, their breathing techniques are not perfect. Even if they cultivate to the highest level, they cannot adapt well to natural energy. They must push their bodies to the limit to forcibly control the violent natural energy with mortal bodies.
But which normal person can keep their body in a state of extreme tension all the time? Moreover, their method of controlling natural energy may put a great burden on the body, even shortening their lifespan.
This may be why swordsmen who awaken the mark don't live past twenty-five.
Because they lose so much lifespan, they can only live to twenty-five at most.
"Huff... Namu Amida Butsu, Gyomei thanks Master."
Gyomei Himejima got up from the ground, "looked" at the seal incantation that appeared on his arm, then put his hands together and bowed to Shimizu.
With Muzan eliminated, according to Kagaya Ubuyashiki's last words, Shimizu is now the master of the Demon Slayer Corps.
"What on earth... is going on?"
Muichiro Tokito said with a puzzled look.
"It's the mark."
A voice suddenly came from far outside the crowd.
The members of the Demon Slayer Corps suddenly made way.
A tall middle-aged man who looked eighty percent similar to Kyojuro Rengoku, with the exact same hair color but a stubbly beard, walked in with a sake bottle and a Nichirin Blade at his waist.
The visitor was the former Flame Pillar, Shinjuro Rengoku.
Shinjuro had stepped down from the position of Flame Pillar just over three years ago, and many swordsmen present had worked with him, so most of them recognized him.
"Father!"
Kyojuro Rengoku shouted in surprise.
"Kyojuro."
Shinjuro looked at his son's missing eye, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, he patted Kyojuro's shoulder heavily, and then glanced at the marks on Kyojuro and the other Pillars.
"Shinjuro-senpai, the mark you just mentioned, are you referring to these patterns that appear on our bodies? Gyomei almost died just now, is it because of this?"
Tengen Uzui bandaged the wounds on his body, stood up from the ground, and asked Shinjuro Rengoku.
Among all the Pillars present, he and Gyomei had worked with Shinjuro Rengoku for the longest time.
"Yes."
Shinjuro nodded and explained:
"I found out about the mark in the family's ancient books.
It hasn't appeared for the past three hundred years. Apart from you, only the earliest first-generation swordsmen had it. When the first person with the mark appeared, other people who had mastered breathing techniques to the extreme would awaken the mark one after another.
Without exception, they all had strength far surpassing that of other past Pillars, and even had records of single-handedly killing Upper Rank demons, but none of them lived past twenty-five. Even without disasters or illnesses, they would suddenly die."
Shinjuro looked at Gyomei Himejima, who was standing beside Shimizu.
Among these Pillars, only Gyomei is currently twenty-five years old.
There were multiple reasons why Shinjuro Rengoku suddenly changed from a cheerful and enthusiastic middle-aged uncle to being decadent.
However, when he learned from Amane that Muzan was expected to be eliminated tonight, he, who had just woken up from being drunk, picked up the Nichirin Blade he had once put down and came here.
It's just that when he arrived, Muzan had already been eliminated.
"You must be the current Master, right? Shinjuro pays his respects to Master!"
Shinjuro Rengoku finally turned his gaze to Shimizu and bowed to Shimizu with cupped hands.
Shimizu naturally acted like a virtuous leader, reaching out to help up this veteran within the Demon Slayer Corps.
"Shinjuro-senpai, there's no need to be so polite."
"Master, I wonder if the method to seal the mark..."
One mistake, one hand, one hair, one inside, one appearance, one by one to see!
"There's no price to pay. I can apply it to Kyojuro and the other Pillars in a while."
"That's good, that's good."
"Alright, Shinjuro-senpai, and everyone, now that Muzan has been eliminated, it's a time worth celebrating. There's no need to be so serious. Let's cheer first!"
Now, the struggle between the Demon Slayer Corps and the demons has basically determined the outcome. It's not bad to let these swordsmen relax for a while.
That night, for the first time, the Demon Slayer Corps did not have swordsmen going out on missions at night, but gathered together at the Ubuyashiki estate to hold a celebration banquet.
The area here is actually not small at all, not just that one courtyard.
Walking out of the bamboo forest along the road in front of the courtyard is actually the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps, with multiple training grounds.
In the original timeline, part of the Pillar Training was held here.
After tidying up the venue a little and placing tables and chairs, it can accommodate everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps.
In order to satisfy everyone, Shimizu also specifically contacted the largest restaurants in Tokyo, purchased a large amount of ingredients, and hired a group of extremely professional chefs at a high price.
At the banquet, some were happy, and some were crying.
Most of them joined the Demon Slayer Corps because their loved ones were killed by demons.
With their great revenge avenged, they would naturally cry bitterly.
Before the end of the banquet, Amane announced in front of all the members of the Demon Slayer Corps that Shimizu would officially take over as the Master of the Demon Slayer Corps.
After that, Shimizu set off overnight and arrived in Tokyo.
Shinobu Kocho has now entered the waiting period for childbirth. With him, whose medical ninjutsu has reached a first-class level, he can definitely ensure that the delivery is foolproof.
...
...
Naruto World.
Shimizu's home has changed its appearance.
It's still the same location as before, but Shimizu has now bought several buildings around it at a high price and is renovating them.
