"The Buddha said: There are three great sufferings in life: being with those you hate, being separated from those you love, and not getting what you want. Mr. Uchiha Nagi, you can only be free from suffering by letting go. I believe that Ms. Kagome's spirit in heaven would not want you to be too sad for her."
In the basement, Tamayo was bandaging everyone's wounds. Looking at Uchiha Nagi, who remained as cold as ice, she couldn't help but comfort her.
Nagi Uchiha said calmly, "I'm not too upset. I've only known her for a few days..."
Tanjiro thought to himself, "Such a melancholic melody, how can I not feel sad? Besides, I can clearly smell it; you can fool others, but you can't fool me."
This is Tanjiro's special ability: he possesses a sense of smell that can detect body odor and even emotions. He can sense all of a person's emotions, such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, through his sense of smell.
"Mr. Uchiha Nagi, how do you know the Water Breathing Technique? Are you also a member of the Demon Slayer Corps?" He couldn't help but be curious, because Uchiha Nagi had used his Water Breathing Technique when he defeated Susamaru in the final blow.
Tamayo and her follower Yushiro were also curious, while Nezuko, having wandered around for a while, got bored and went to sleep.
"I'm not a member of the Demon Slayer Corps. As for why I know Water Breathing, I learned it from you~"
"You learned it from me?!" Tanjiro was completely dumbfounded. You learned it after just one look? I spent two years studying this breathing technique and you learned it after just one glance?
Ignoring the petrified Tanjiro, Uchiha Nagi turned to Tamayo and said, "Dr. Tamayo, I want to start the surgery as soon as possible. Do you have anything planned for today? If not, how about we rest this morning and start this afternoon?"
"Oh, are you ready over there? I'm ready anytime. Demons have a very strong ability to recover their stamina, and I didn't participate much in last night's battle. You went through such an intense battle, do you need to rest for a day before we talk about it?" Tamayo said.
"Then let's do it this afternoon. A morning's rest is enough." Uchiha Nagi nodded to Tamayo. "I'll also need you to prepare a room for me. I'll rest for a few hours, and then we'll start the surgery this afternoon."
"Okay, Yushiro, please take Mr. Uchiha Nagi to rest."
"Yes, Lady Tamayo~" Yushiro looked like a lovesick fool and immediately stood up. He didn't want to waste a moment and just wanted to send Uchiha Nagi back to her room and then return to Tamayo's side as soon as possible.
After thanking him, Uchiha Nagi followed Yushiro down the corridor. The reason she was in such a hurry was because she felt a sense of crisis again.
According to Tamayo, these two people are not among the Twelve Demon Moons, but in Uchiha Nagi's opinion, if even lowly fodder have the strength of a Jonin, then aren't the Twelve Demon Moons even stronger?
Based on his experience in tonight's battle, the demons in the Demon Slayer world, with their immortality, are all comparable to Chunin in strength. Without a Nichirin Blade, no Chunin can defeat them in a one-on-one fight. This refers to normal Chunin, not the twelve Konoha 12...
Then, the two demons who came last night, Yahaba and Suzamaru, had the strength of Jonin. Without the Nichirin Blade and without any information, even Jonin couldn't do anything to them. The reason was simple: their immortality was too overpowered.
Humans get tired in battle; their muscles ache, their chakra runs out, and the more intense the battle, the faster their power is depleted. But demons don't—
In other words, even if it is much stronger than a demon, it will eventually be defeated due to exhaustion if it gets into a prolonged battle.
Victory can only be achieved by crushing them with a single, decisive strike, severing their necks with a Nichirin Blade so that they cannot regenerate.
Fortunately, according to Tamayo, the strongest of the Twelve Demon Moons also means that their numbers are extremely rare.
However, Uchiha Nagi wouldn't entrust his life to the fact that the other party hadn't discovered him. Last night, he learned that in the eyes of demons, he was a rare and precious bloodline, like the flesh of Tang Sanzang...
This is not surprising; it's Uchiha blood—
Therefore, Uchiha Nagi decided to speed up the process, since the experimental data from the past few days indicated that she should not have any rejection reaction after transplanting the White Zetsu's hand.
Uchiha Nagi guessed that because Obito had fused with it for a long time, the rejection on it had long been resolved, so there was no problem with her transplanting this White Zetsu arm that Obito had used.
After the transplant, I no longer need to worry about going blind from overusing my kaleidoscope's power. In this way, I can improve my strength without any worries.
Unlike Itachi and Obito, Nagi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan did not have the ability to directly engage in combat; both were support-type.
However, this is a support skill of such an extraordinary level that all it takes is for the user to use the breathing technique once—
Thinking of this, Uchiha Nagi felt a surge of excitement. What would happen if she copied all the breathing techniques of this world?
It's better to be good at something than to be good at it. Uchiha Nagi knows many ninjutsu, but he's like a certain Hokage professor—he knows a lot but isn't good at it, which is his biggest frustration.
Because he doesn't have a strong mentor.
Reality differs from fiction. Even the most brilliant protagonists have teachers to guide them; there is no scenario where Zhang Wuji could master divine skills through hard work alone.
Having a suitable teacher to guide you is several times better than working hard on your own.
For example, Kakashi, as Naruto and Sasuke's teacher, didn't significantly improve their strength. Later, when Naruto sought out Jiraiya and Sasuke sought out Orochimaru, their strength skyrocketed. This shows how much a suitable teacher can help a person.
Soon, after half a day of rest, Uchiha Nagi recovered her strength, and her chakra also recovered after replenishing her rations earlier.
He arrived at Zhushi's operating room, nodded to her, and quickly got ready. The two of them walked into a clean room.
Uchiha Nagi opened the storage scroll, and a white arm appeared in front of her.
"Dr. Tamayo, it's very inconvenient for me to perform surgery on myself with only one hand, so I'm troubling you." Uchiha Nagi then created a shadow clone.
This shadow clone was used by him to perform the surgery, and Tamayo, as a doctor who had lived for hundreds of years, could certainly assist him from the side.
"I understand. I am also very familiar with human anatomy, so please rest assured." Tamayo nodded with a smile.
Then, Uchiha Nagi activated the Palm Healing Technique with one hand, and a green chakra scalpel lit up as she began to cut open the already healed wound. Throughout the entire process, Uchiha Nagi did not use anesthesia; she simply bit down on a towel.
Throughout the process, Tamayo followed Uchiha Nagi's instructions, helping to connect nerves and blood vessels, and then connecting the bones on both sides. Because Uchiha Nagi firmly believed in the efficacy of the First Hokage's cells, the connected bones were not fitted with steel nails.
Instead, surgical-grade catgut was used to sew and fix the structure. Finally, after all the muscles and blood vessels were connected, the shadow clone began to repair the cell tissue using palm-wielding chakra.
Before long, the white arm and Uchiha Nagi's severed arm had basically healed, with no visible wounds, only a scar.
Tamayo then took a stabilizing plate and used it to fix Nagi Uchiha's arm to prevent the bones from breaking due to impact.
"It's incredible that your medical technique, called Palm Healing Technique, can heal muscles and skin in such a short time," Tamayo exclaimed.
"I feel ashamed that I haven't been of any help to you at all."
