And here, there are various types of Breathing Techniques passed down through generations for thousands of years—
In other words, it's an enhanced version of Mangekyo's copy-and-paste ability.
It could be weak, yet it could also be extremely powerful.
When he first awakened it, he glanced at Itachi's Amaterasu, and his right eye recorded it, but the mental transfer drained his Chakra.
His right eye, naturally, fell into a slumber just like Kakashi's when he first awakened it. However, since he has Uchiha blood, once his Chakra recovered, his right eye received a supply of Chakra, and its ocular power also recovered.
"Damn it, you can't kill us without a nichirin blade! Die!" The female demon Zhu Sha Wan leaped back a distance, let out a ferocious roar, and threw her balls.
These balls, in her hands, had the impact of a cannonball. If a human body was hit, even a slight graze would leave no flesh or blood.
This was her unique Blood Demon Art, and the balls were made from her blood. She could produce as many as she wanted; they were sturdy and resilient. When she cooperated with Ya Habaki, she was practically a mobile human turret.
Ya Habaki's invisible telekinesis could control many balls, and she could create and launch them. This way, countless balls would scatter like cannonballs, being reused repeatedly. As long as they maintained their distance, even a Hashira would die on the spot.
Knowing her opponent was troublesome, the female demon Zhu Sha Wan immediately went all out. Six hands instantly conjured six balls, which she threw like cannonballs, then conjured another six balls, and threw them again—
Boom... Boom, boom, boom—
The scene was like an attack by a nineteenth-century artillery squad. Countless powerful cannonball-like spheres, comparable to iron balls, flew directly at Tanjiro and Uchiha Nagi. The brick-and-stone houses shattered like paper.
"Human turret—"
Uchiha Nagi thought to himself, such immense power was comparable to an A-rank Ninjutsu. A single human cannon could be compared to a small Naruto's Rasengan, but now Zhu Sha Wan was using a turret-like method to continuously fire... one could imagine hundreds of Narutos throwing Rasengans, and her speed was more than ten times faster than Naruto's.
Tanjiro's pupils constricted, and he quickly unleashed his Breathing Technique sword skill, "Water Breathing, Fourth Form, Striking Tide Current."
The Water Breathing Technique, like a whirlpool, wielded his nichirin blade, swiftly striking the countless incoming cannonball-like spheres.
"No, I have to get close to her, otherwise, fighting like this will exhaust my stamina, and I'll eventually get hit."
Breathing Techniques were not invincible; they consumed human strength every moment. Tanjiro could only resist the opponent's heavy balls while closing in.
"Want to cut off my neck? Hahahaha, don't dream about it." The female demon Zhu Sha Wan shrieked, using her Blood Demon Art while taking a big leap backward.
"You can't dodge it, just let me kill you, hahahaha."
Uchiha Nagi easily dodged. Even a Three-Tomoe was enough to evade the opponent's attacks, let alone the Mangekyo, which possessed dynamic vision comparable to the Flying Thunder God.
He didn't need to dodge the opponent's cannonballs; he only needed to dodge the direction of the opponent's hand before she threw them. It was like dodging a bullet was difficult, but dodging a person's hand was simple.
Yes, a Sharingan with two tomoe or more had the ability to predict enemy movements. During the first battle between Naruto and Sasuke in the Valley of the End, Sasuke used his Two-Tomoe Sharingan to predict all of Naruto's attacks.
Uchiha Nagi dodged while rapidly closing in. Just as he was about to get close... his red pupils flashed, and he used Tanjiro's move: "Water Breathing, Fourth Form—Striking Tide Current."
After the two figures crossed, Uchiha Nagi sheathed his blade, while Zhu Sha Wan behind him had a dazed look in her eyes, muttering and cackling to herself. Only when her head fell to the ground did her eyes clear. "Ah ah ah~ What's going on? Didn't I kill you? Why is my head cut off? What's happening?" Zhu Sha Wan realized with horror that her head and body were separated.
Not only were they separated, but her body was also torn into pieces; all six of her arms and two legs were chopped off by the opponent.
Tanjiro, who was far away, paused for a moment, then reacted and shouted loudly, "Be careful! She's not dead! Demons can't be killed by cutting off their necks with ordinary blades!"
"It's fine." Uchiha Nagi calmly walked to the side and forcefully kicked Zhu Sha Wan's head away.
"Even if she can't die, as long as she's torn into pieces, there's no threat. As for her regeneration, I'll just cut her again."
Then he used the Great Fireball Jutsu, which never kills anyone, to burn all of Zhu Sha Wan's limbs.
"Ah ah ah, how is this possible? I clearly killed you! How did I end up getting beheaded? I don't believe it, I don't believe it~" Zhu Sha Wan's head was rapidly regenerating while she shrieked in confusion.
"I used a Genjutsu, a Mangekyo Genjutsu, which weaklings like you cannot resist~" Uchiha Nagi calmly walked up to her and explained.
The moment he got close to her and their eyes met, she fell under the Mangekyo's Genjutsu.
The Mangekyo Sharingan inherently possessed Genjutsu. Even Obito, who wasn't specialized in Genjutsu, could use it to control the Nine-Tailed, let alone Uchiha Nagi, who had studied Genjutsu for some time.
"Genjutsu? What's that? I know! It's the ability of Enmu, Lower Rank One. I lost fair and square..." Zhu Sha Wan muttered to herself.
Tanjiro quickly ran over and used his nichirin blade to cut Zhu Sha Wan's neck, where two legs were about to sprout.
As if it possessed an inherent counter, after her neck was severed, her head stopped growing and instead began to burn at the wound, turning into charcoal, and then into ash.
This was the nichirin blade—
In her dying moments, Zhu Sha Wan seemed to awaken memories from her human life, and her heart was filled with only sorrow. Tanjiro, feeling this, also felt sad for her.
"She's a demon, yet why is she so sad..."
"Please, kill me, please..." A weak voice came. It was Ya Habaki.
He was still being burned by Amaterasu. His body's energy was probably depleted, and he was now burned down to a skeleton, unable to move, yet still able to speak faintly.
Tanjiro, unable to bear it, was about to walk over and give him a quick death with his nichirin blade, but suddenly heard a melancholic tune.
Uchiha Nagi had, at some point, walked in front of Kagome, picked up a bamboo flute, and played the snow-themed bamboo flute song Kagome wanted to learn [Naruto's background music bgm].
Tanjiro was drawn by the faint sadness of the tune and stopped. The struggling Ya Habaki also slowly calmed down.
The tune was melancholic and enchanting, as if bringing those who had been away from home for a long time back to their hometown.
By the time the song ended, the sky had gradually brightened.
Ya Habaki smiled, and tears slowly began to flow from the corners of his eyes. He remembered his hometown, his home, and his human self.
Then, he stopped struggling and slowly turned into ashes under the first rays of sunlight in the morning.
Kagome's soul also seemed to stand under the sunlight, smiling.
"This song is truly beautiful..."
