Mount Sagiri
Intentions want to relax with Tengen and Sakonji at the finish line, but Harada knows that this exercise is not something to be taken lightly. So it is not only the demon hunters who train that go up the mountain.
But Harada, Sakonji, Tengen and his three wives also watched from the highest branches of the tree that can be stepped on. The trap set by Sakonji is also now much more difficult than usual, and this makes the demon hunters who are running below while carrying nichirin each scream in surprise.
Meanwhile from a distance, Tengen who saw Sakonji's trap performance from above the tree had already taken a cold sweat bath at this time. The man remembered his childhood full of madness. Harada who could smell Tengen's shock let out a laugh, and made the shoulder-haired man nag while pointing the four kunai that were on the sidelines of his right hand fingers at Harada.
"Harada Hora! Stop laughing! I'll beat you up nicely if you keep laughing like that!" exclamation Tengen. Harada just shook his left hand free from the kunai.
"Aye aye, I'll stop. So just throw the kunai-kunai at them," Harada replied casually.
"Are you guys like this a lot?" asked Sakonji who was next to Harada. The black-haired man nodded slowly.
"Don't worry too much about us, Sakon Ji-chan. Instead of that, let's move again. We should greet them with a senbon and kunai storm."
Actually this training is not just training for marks. But Kagaya himself advised that this training can improve the strength of Kisatsutai briefly with rapid results. So with that message, Harada deliberately made his training system like this.
In addition to the Sakonji trap that is made more complicated, there will be kunai or senbon rain in the interval of each trap belonging to the former Hashira Air. In short, the trainees down there did not have time for a long enough rest. Maybe even just a few seconds. So no wonder now the wilderness on Mount Sagiri is filled with these two objects.
While jumping from branch to branch, Harada could not stop smiling with what was around her. A strong determination mixed with the horror of being showered with kunai and senbon, the sound of nichirin colliding with the two objects, and Sakonji's increasing flexibility in throwing the two weapons. Don't forget the cooperation that his twin sister did down there. In retrospect, perhaps this was a once-in-a-lifetime moment among the members of Kisatsutai.
While down there, inside the horde of demon hunters that ran down the mountain, Hikari and Hikaru finally agreed to protect each other. Hikari who had been khatam with these traps was in charge of leading her twin sister. While on the other hand, the two twin brothers also protect each other's backs, creating a cooperation that is considered smooth.
Tengen who saw that from the top of the tree gave Harada a signal to approach. The white-haired man asked for help to tie his nichirin to his left hand with the help of a bandage. Harada who was a little surprised had not said anything until Tengen finally touched his colleague's wide forehead.
"Itte yo, kono-" Harada's speech was cut off by Tengen's loud nagging.
"Here you go, hurry up and do my request! Is it hard to just tie nichirin with my left hand?" ask Tengen. Harada sighed and complied.
Tengen smiled with satisfaction. Harada exclaimed that former Hashira's voice would not kill them. But it seemed, Harada's remark was slightly ignored by Tengen. Given the current, the former shinobi, who also wears his old shinobi outfit at this time, is, get down from the top of the tree and immediately test one by one demon hunters with nichirin fighting combined with empty-handed fighting. So from up there, either the three wives of Tengen, Harada or even Sakonji made gawking because of it.
"Just come here and fight me!" cry Tengen with a fiery spirit.
The man with white hair that was now being draped attacked one by one demon hunters around him, and made the impact of metal into its own music that filled this thin forest of oxygen. While throwing the kunai down, Harada smiled again as she looked at Hikari who was challenging Tengen directly.
So now they both have to fight while avoiding various traps attached. But moments after that, as Harada threw the kunai while watching the surroundings, her sharp nose found that Gyomei was following her from afar. Without further ado the black-haired man turned around, leaving Tengen and the others to take care of everything.
....
The clangs of the metal clashing, the natural cry of horror, and the sound of iron that stuck in the ground and trees that alternately filled the crowd in Harada's ears now slowly began to become incense in Harada's ears. This was purely because Hashira The storm had gone quite far from the crowd that had surrounded him, and now he was also above ground.
Along with the iron ball that hit the ground, Gyomei came down from the top of the tree and took the nichirin in the form of an ax and an iron ball connected to the chain while approaching Harada. Still with a grin attached, the grass-green man put up the horses while chuckling.
"Did the order change, Gyo-nii?" ask Harada. Gyomei.
"so. Oyakata-sama told this matter with Kasugai," Gyomei replied briefly.
Harada screeched softly, feeling a little cocky as she recalled Kara who was currently being tasked to find out about the most recent ranks of the Jogen by her. Because in Harada's thinking, it was impossible for Muzan to let the four positions of Jogen remain empty, not to mention that one of them was Akaza who occupied the strongest three positions.
But at least, his anticipation was quite useful now. The black-haired man threw away the shinai he had attached along with his nichirin, then unsheathed his nichirin with a calculative look at Gyomei. Because if dealing with a man who has a scar on the forehead, Harada can not make a single mistake, especially if he will attack early.
"Well, that doesn't matter either, anyway. But get ready, Gyo-nii. I won't hold back" Harada said casually.
Gyomei smiled before throwing his iron ball towards Harada with killing intent. Harada grinned even more and instead attached her nichirin to the chain, giving rise to the impression of legible movement. Though this is the original fighting style, which is to outwit the opponent with an easy-to-read move before making the original attack.
Kinbouyama, Kumamoto
Every twang of metal that clashed filled the silence in the middle of Mount Kinbou surrounded by wilderness. Among these twangs, occasionally heard the sound of lightning sparks telling each other, said, as if not to be outdone by his opponent who relied on the rapid movements of the upper body along with fire and bone-chilling cold air.
Then as if tired of fighting with swords, one of the three figures developed wings on his back that had been closed, then flew between the lush trees, and then fly, as if mocking his flightless opponents, Hideki and Kyojuro.
"Cih, the excitement is not playing indeed," Hideki grumbled.
"Then I'm the one who's going after him, Date-san! You trap him later when I bring him down!" kyojuro. Hideki nodded slowly while grinning.
Kyojuro jumps up the tree, then jumps off each branch to chase after the lightning demon. Meanwhile just below him, Hideki chases after Kyojuro while putting up the horses, alarmed by a surprise attack that is very likely. Because if it wasn't really desperate, it was actually a lightning demon that could have killed both of them at once.
But somehow the devil seemed to be thinking of a strategy to do it, and this was very unique, especially for Hideki. Because even though it has been in unity for a long time, but this is the first time Hideki faced with a demon that calculations like this. Or could it be, this was not his real body?
Hideki grieved, then thoughtlessly climbed up the trees and as fast as lightning slashed at the flying demon's neck. The actions of the white-haired man had made Kyojuro stunned, although in the end they both reached an annoying decision. If this demon they were facing was not his real body.
Then as a black smoke rose from the demon's neck, Hideki pulled Kyojuro's hand down to the ground and ran as fast as possible to avoid the black smoke chasing them both. If the instincts of the light blue man were true, the original body of this demon would not be far from the mountain, or at least still be in one area.
"Date-san, why are you doing this!?" kyojuro shouted while running, and made his voice slightly shake.
"Come with me. There was one place that flashed through my mind about the location of this demon's original body" Hideki retorted.
"May it's not a troublesome place!"
"Just relax, this is a great place!"
