28: Total Concentratiom

around 15-30 minutes went by, due to the situation, nezuko managed to stop herself from harming any humans, proving that she would be able to stay and fight alongside tanjiro as a demon slayer.

itsuki didn't understand why nezuko was so different from other demons, but it was definitely due to the power of anime plot armour and friendship, which was retarded and made no sense, but who was he to question things?

after that tanjiro and nezuko were taken to the butterfly mansion under shinobu's words, it hadn't even been a minute before tanjiro ran back, his aim was to headbutt sanemi a few more times for stabbing nezuko, only to be dragged back by the two assisting members on the demon slayer corps, at the same time this left itsuki confused, now that everything was over what was he doing here?

"swordsmen itsuki, i have heard alot about you" lord ubuyashiki said before anything else, he spoke to itsuki, but he looked towards the sky.

"the same goes to you" itsuki said back calmly, his words nonetheless shocked the other slayers, even they didn't dare to talk to the master like this.

there was nothing wrong with itsuki's words, but even the hashira usually addressed the master respectfully before saying anything.

before sanemi could flare up, lord ubuyashiki smiled even more and said towards itsuki "you can come with us for this semiannual hashira meeting, afterall with your strength you aren't any worse than my children"

he had actually previously notified the hashira about it, after finding about about itsuki's strength and him being able to defeat a upper moon in battle and only suffering scratches and killing a lower moon easily, the hashira could only accept this fact, a few were suspicious, but they knew lord ubuyashiki wouldn't lie about such things..

----

the meeting happened later that night, it wasn't too important and didn't last that long as well, although during this meeting it was stated that even though itsuki had the power of a hashira, he wasn't recognized as one, but due to the lack of strong people in the demon slayer corps, lord ubuyashiki guaranteed he would deem itsuki a hashira if he managed to kill another one of the twelve kizuki.

two weeks went by in a flash.

itsuki stayed at the demon slayer corps, he wasn't training alongside tanjiro and his crew, but under shinobu's teaching he managed to practice his total concentration breathing to the point of mastery, he could even keep it under control while sleeping.

the mastery over his concentrated breathing brought a surprise to itsuki, he was faster, sharper, more precise, overall his ice breathing strength had increased significantly, ituski also didn't forget to thank shinobu, after these two weeks he immediately left in search of demons.

his level was stuck at 23 ever since the incident of the spider family, itsuki was itching to go out and battle.

he felt practically invincible in this world, but it was better to reach the highest level before fighting muzan.

after some calculations, he knew if he defeated all the lower and upper moons, he would gain alot of levels, scratch the lower moons, since muzan would devour them soon anyways, even so itsuki was excited, for more power, and also the chance to explore a whole new anime world.

"kinda sucks that the system does not talk though" this was itsuki's thought before he disappeared from the demon slayer headquarters in a flash, not even leaving behind his shadow, in a second he was already dozens of meters away, a black crow trailing closely behind him.
