Chapter 4 Heaven?
When he came to the window and looked at Konoha Village under the night, Shinji reviewed the layout of Konoha Village in his mind.
Regarding 'invasion', he has analyzed many possibilities these days and has also thought of some countermeasures.
For example, he has memorized the layout of Konoha Village in his mind. He can tell where important institutions such as the Hokage Building, ANBU Building, and Hospital are located with his eyes closed.
Once there is any 'invasion', he can respond immediately.
After all, this is Konoha. No matter what kind of intruder it is, Konoha will not sit idly by and ignore it, so he in Konoha can use this to deal with the 'invasion'.
Secondly.
Taking advantage of the two days of living alone, he gradually adapted to the state of turning on the Mangekyo Sharingan, and carefully explored the techniques of using the Mangekyo Sharingan without excessively consuming his power.
With these kaleidoscopes by his side, he felt somewhat confident.
at last.
For insurance, he also spent money to buy a lot of ninja tools.
Twenty shurikens, four kunai made of fine steel, and thirty detonating charms were all neatly placed in the ninja bag on his waist.
Regardless of whether it comes in handy or not, there is nothing wrong with being prepared.
Time passes little by little.
With a soft click
, the hour hand on the clock finally pointed to twelve o'clock.
Shinji held a kunai in his hand and looked around vigilantly, looking for a possible 'invasion', but nothing happened.
A few minutes later, he frowned slightly: "It's not a prank, is it?"
Before he finished speaking, he disappeared into the room with a '
swish'!
When Shinji came to his senses again, he found himself in an unfamiliar palace, with the roar of explosions heard from time to time.
He bent down and came to the window to look out.
In the courtyard of the palace, hundreds of guards with bows and swords on their backs were besieging a giant monster with a dark green body, a bloated body, and arms covering its upper body.
"Stop it!"
"Protect His Highness!"
"Don't let it get close to the main hall!"
Amidst the shouts, the guards continued to attack the monster.
Arrows shot out like raindrops, and some even had lit detonating charms tied behind them.
However, these attacks failed to stop the monster at all.
The monster's body was covered with arrows, but it didn't care. The limbs that were broken by the detonating talisman were quickly restored at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Apparently.
Ordinary attacks have no effect on it.
And every time the countless arms on the monster's upper body reach out, they can accurately grab a guard and drag the guard in front of him.
Then, swallow it in one gulp!
"Isn't this a hand ghost?"
Shinji, who was hiding in a side hall on the side of the courtyard, immediately recognized this monster as Demon Slayer, the hand ghost in the training ground who had eaten a dozen of Tanjiro's senior brothers and sisters. .
However, the hand ghost in front of him was significantly larger than the one in his memory. Not only was it bloated, it also had an unbearable stench.
The pungent smell of blood soon filled the courtyard, and there were stumps and broken arms everywhere, making it feel like a hell on earth.
"No!"
Although he was frightened, Shinji, who was hiding in the dark, still noticed something.
He found that as the hand ghost continued to devour the guards, its size became larger and larger, and its attack frequency, strength, and even recovery ability also increased significantly.
There is no doubt that devouring the guard can make it stronger, and this increase in strength is very significant.
The ghosts in Demon Slayer can indeed become stronger by eating people, but this kind of strengthening requires accumulation over time.
Like the hand ghost in front of him, whose size obviously expanded as he ate people, Shinji wondered if it had something to do with the chakra contained in the eaten guards.
"If a ghost with terrifying recovery ability has chakra..."
Just thinking about it, Shinji felt a chill and his scalp was numb.
In the courtyard.
It seems that it feels the rapid improvement of its own strength, and the frequency of the hand ghost eating people has also accelerated a lot.
It devoured the guard wholeheartedly, and let out a disgusting moan: "It's so delicious! The people here are so delicious, oh~ah~!" "Is
this the intruder?"
It looked at the guards in the field quickly Reduced, Shinji forced himself to calm down.
If you don't target the weak points, ordinary attacks will have very limited effect on ghosts.
Just like those brave guards who are not afraid of death, no matter how many times they shoot, chop, or blow up the hand ghosts, they cannot destroy the hand ghosts. As long as the hand ghosts devour them, they can quickly recover their consumption.
Fortunately, Shinji knows Demon Slayer, Demon's weakness.
The biggest weakness is undoubtedly the sun. As long as it is exposed to the sun, under normal circumstances, no matter how powerful the ghost is, it will be wiped out.
Besides sunlight, another weakness of the ghost is its neck.
Cutting off the neck of a ghost with the Nichirin Sword is the most common method used by the Demon Slayer Team to eliminate ghosts. In addition, ghosts are also afraid of a plant called 'wisteria'.
However, Shinji currently has neither a Nichirin sword nor a wisteria flower.
Looking at the time, it was just past midnight, still early for sunrise.
"What should I do!"
Shinji had a headache and looked towards the courtyard again.
Judging from the attire of the guards in the courtyard and the detonating charms used, this place should still be in the ninja world, so he guessed that this was probably the palace of a certain daimyo.
This can also be seen from the guards' ability to fight the hand ghosts without fear of death.
And from the analysis of the battle situation, the hand ghost is very strong!
It's not that the Hand Ghost can't compete. In fact, the guards have chopped off and exploded the Hand Ghost's arms more than a dozen times. Once, they even blew up half of the Hand Ghost's body.
But these injuries that are fatal to normal creatures have no effect on opponent ghosts.
However, the hand ghost can quickly increase its strength by continuously devouring guards. In just a short time, its size has expanded again, and it looks like a moving mountain of meat from a distance.
"Why do the people here smell so good? Gulu Gulu is so sweet!"
The hand ghost made a terrifying chewing sound while killing.
"Damn it, what kind of monster is this!"
"Reinforcements are here, why haven't they come yet!"
"Don't eat me!"
In the roaring and wailing, the guards' resistance gradually weakened.
Hiss.
Seeing the hand ghost devouring the last guard, Shinji looked solemn.
Even if it just moves, the hand ghost can make a rumbling sound, causing the ground to tremble slightly. And the buildings in front of it along the way are like tofu that breaks into pieces when touched.
At this time, it seemed to be eyeing the main hall not far away.
Dragging his bloated body, he moved towards the main hall step by step.
Shinji in the side hall was a little lucky: "It doesn't seem to have noticed me yet."
Just
when Shinji relaxed a little, an arm suddenly shot out from the back of the hand ghost, accompanied by a stench of fishy wind, whistling towards him. He instantly broke through the wall and grabbed Shinji who was hiding behind.
"This?!"
Before he could react, Shinji was caught by the hand ghost.
Then, he grabbed Shinji's arm and quickly retracted it, lifted Shinji up into the air, and brought him to the hand ghost.
"Oh ho ho, I've smelled it a long time ago. You smell better than them all, so much. I'm so greedy that I can't help but drool!" The hand ghost stared at
Shinji with a look of infatuation, and water actually flowed from his mouth. saliva.
Shinji felt so sick that he wanted to vomit.
Suddenly, the hand ghost seemed to feel something, and a look of madness appeared on his already deformed face: "So you are the 'light' in this world, don't drive me away!" "Light?" said the hand
ghost
. In response, Shinji realized that his identity seemed to be very special.
Countless arms were fluttering and swaying around, and the devil-like hand ghost became more and more crazy. It grabbed Shinji and raised it above his bloody mouth: "As long as I eat you, I can stay here forever. This place belongs to me. Heaven!"
"Heaven?" Shinji spat lightly, and said coldly: "Do you have any misunderstandings about the ninja world! This is hell!" Before he finished speaking,
Shinji's eyes turned scarlet.
