"He was very disappointed when he first met me, saying..."
Shizuru Mizukawa recalled the greedy and violent tone of Byaku's voice at the time.
"It wasn't the Naruto Hashirama who came!"
"Judging from your aura, you should also be a Pillar, right? As long as I kill you and devour your flesh and blood, the master will reward me handsomely!"
Ryosuke: o.0?
It seems that his high-profile demon-slaying recently caught the attention of the scumbag boss, Muzan.
To ensure everything went perfectly, they even gave the parkour guy an enhanced package!
My domineering boss is forcibly loving me!
"So you got injured, fought desperately, and then killed him?" Ryosuke asked.
"Quite the opposite."
Shizuru Mizukawa shook his head: "Just as I was about to cut off the neck of the diseased leaf, he tried to detonate the tumors on the last ten civilians."
"In the end, I couldn't bring myself to change my sword technique. I cut off the tumor and saved those ten people, but I also gave them a chance."
Akira Moriyama, who had been hanging his head, immediately chimed in.
"Mr. Water Column did nothing wrong! No one died in this battle!"
"It's nothing."
Shizuru Mizukawa didn't feel there was anything to be proud of.
These are all his duties as a pillar.
Then, he changed the subject and continued.
"Bingye used one arm to block my knife as he charged forward, and that punch was aimed at my heart, which could be considered a sure kill."
Shizuru Mizukawa turned his gaze to Akira Moriyama.
Even now, when he thinks about it, he finds it unbelievable.
"Kesenshan tackled me at the last second."
"It's strange, but that punch from Bingye looked like it was going to pierce through both Moriyama and me."
"In the end, my vision and senses were blocked by the sudden collapse of the house, and the force and angle at which Moriyama tackled me were also... subtle."
Mizukawa Shizuru paused, a hint of relief in his voice.
"Bingye's punch grazed Moriyama's back and missed. Soon after, the nearby support team arrived. It was almost dawn, and Bingye, exhausted, temporarily fled."
The luck buff is truly overpowered!
As he listened to all this, his face twitched non-stop.
Although Shizuru Mizukawa is the main fighting force, Akira Moriyama...
Okay, the hem of my clothes is still slightly dirty, but the skin isn't even scratched.
"Mr. Mizukawa, please take good care of yourself. Where is the diseased leaf located now?" Ryosuke asked.
Mizukawa Shizuru realized something and struggled to sit up.
"Mingzhu! What do you want to do?"
"What?"
Ryosuke grinned a friendly smile: "Of course we'll go and take him down! Strike while the iron is hot! We'll finish him off!"
Shizuru Mizukawa sat up excitedly, speaking very quickly.
"Although the diseased leaf has retreated, its abilities are strange and its nature is despicable. I didn't tell you after the incident because I didn't want you to impulsively take risks!"
"Moreover, headquarters has already ordered a group of hidden swordsmen to conduct a search and investigation."
"Mr. Iwazuki Himejima just received the message and is on his way. You must not be reckless on your own!"
Ryosuke felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing the caring words and helped him lie down.
"Don't worry, you know my strength."
"Moreover, you also said that his target is me. Once he recovers from his injuries, he will inevitably do all sorts of evil deeds to lure me out, and it will be the common people who suffer in the end."
"It's better to take the initiative than to be passively attacked."
"Moreover, now that you have severely damaged the diseased leaves, it is the perfect time to eradicate them."
Shizuru Mizukawa sighed and finally gave in.
Even if he doesn't say it, Ryosuke can get the information from Kakuno.
"He fled into the mountains north of Nishibayashi Town."
After saying that, Ryosuke stopped lingering and left with Rika, who was still very interested.
"Eh? Ryosuke-nii? Are we leaving already? I haven't even..."
Pear Blossom stumbled and nearly fell.
She had never seen Ryosuke so anxious.
Pear Blossom's eyes lit up!
Has Ryosuke finally come to his senses and wants to spend some time alone with me?!
Shopping, eating, and then spending the night outdoors together...
Pear Blossom looked infatuated.
Little did she know that Ryosuke's eyes were shining, and he had only one thought in his mind.
Strike while the iron is hot! Take his life!
When we get to Beiming Island, they'll steal our heads... no, they'll steal our ghost heads!
"Hehe, Ryosuke-nii, where are we going?" Rika asked shyly.
Ryosuke continued walking, his tone calm.
"It's nothing, I'll take you to kill ghosts."
Pear blossom: Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
The smile on Pear Blossom's face froze instantly.
Killing ghosts? That doesn't make sense!
Why is it killing ghosts again?!
Pear Blossom screamed inwardly, feeling a little disappointed.
However, at least Ryosuke took her this time, unlike before when he would just leave a message and run away.
Upon arriving in Nishibayashi Town, Ryosuke quickly sought out the hidden man to learn about the situation.
Just as Mizukawa Shizuru said, Hidden and several swordsmen are conducting a thorough search of the northern mountainous region.
However, the diseased leaves did not leave many traces after being injured, as if they had disappeared into thin air.
Preliminary speculation suggests that he is likely hiding near several villages in the mountains and forests, and is in dire need of human flesh and blood to recover his condition. He may very well target the villagers.
"How is the situation in Nishibayashi Town lately?" Ryosuke asked.
"Lord Naruto, there have been a series of demon attacks recently, and many people have moved away out of fear, resulting in a large population movement. We are investigating one by one, but so far we have not found any particularly suspicious clues," Hidden Path said.
Ryosuke nodded thoughtfully: "Understood. Thank you for continuing the investigation. Please be careful."
"Yes, Lord Naruhashi!"
After leaving the hidden contact point, Pear Blossom was still pouting, kicking small stones on the ground in a sullen mood.
"Ryosuke-nii, where are we going now?"
Ryosuke ruffled Rika's hair without saying a word.
......
The terror of the past few days has plunged Nishibayashi Town into silence, with every household keeping their doors and windows tightly shut.
In the darkness, a man dragged a huge bundle and looked around.
He moved mysteriously through the alley, returned to his own courtyard, and locked the door.
The man dragged the package toward the side room piled with miscellaneous items.
The room was in disarray, the doors and windows were boarded up, and a strong smell of blood permeated the air.
The man opened the package with trembling hands, and inside was his neighbor who was leaving this place that morning!
The man knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly toward the depths of the shadows, his voice trembling.
"Sir, today's delivery has arrived..."
Chapter 72 Go say whatever you want to my Nichirin Blade!
As the man finished speaking, a figure slowly emerged from the shadows.
The diseased leaf has red ears and eyes, and its face is covered with three "X"-shaped scars.
He knew the Demon Slayer Corps was currently hunting him down with all their might, which is why he was playing the victim.
During this time, Bingye has been hiding here, relying on eating the living people that the man in front of him keeps capturing to restore his energy.
The sick leaf sneered: "Those who understand the times are the heroes."
The man felt as if he had been granted a pardon, but he dared not get up and continued to kowtow and beg.
"Sir, I have done what I promised you. Please, spare my child! He is still so young..."
The diseased leaf revealed a playful smile, its gaze shifting to the corner of the room.
There, a boy of about seven or eight years old was curled up.
His face was ashen, and a disgusting tumor the size of a fist was growing on his neck, slowly throbbing.
The sick leaf was threatening the boy's life to force the man to catch food for him.
