Chapter 4:Heaven?

Shinji came to the window, looking at the Konoha Village under the night, Shinji reviewed the layout of Konoha Village again in his mind.

Regarding the 'invasion', he has analyzed many possibilities these days, and has also thought about 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 hospitals are with his eyes closed.

Once an 'invasion' really occurs, he can respond immediately.

After all, this is Konoha, no matter what kind of intruder it is, Konoha will not sit idly by, so he can use this to deal with the 'invasion' when he is in Konoha.

Secondly.

Taking advantage of the two days of living alone, he gradually got used to the state of opening the mangekyõ sharingan, and carefully explored the skills of using the mangekyõ Sharingan without excessive consumption of pupil power.

With this pair of mangekyo beside him, he still has a bit of confidence.

at Last,

For insurance, he also spent money to buy a lot of ninja tools.

Twenty shurikens, four kunai forged from fine steel, and thirty detonating charms are all neatly packed in the ninja bag on his waist at this moment.

Whether it's useful or not, it's always good to be prepared.

Time, little by little.

With a soft sound, 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 can't be a prank, can it?"

Before he finished speaking, he disappeared into the room with a 'whoosh'

Boom,Boom,Boom.

When Shinji came back to his senses again, he found himself in a strange palace, and the roar of explosions could be heard from time to time.

With his back bent, he came to the window and looked out.

In the courtyard of the palace, hundreds of guards with bows and swords were besieging a giant monster with a dark blue body, a bloated body, and arms all over its upper body.

"Stop it!"

"Protect Your Highness!"

"Don't let it get close to the main hall!"

Amidst the cries one after another, the guards continued to attack the monster.

Arrows shot out like raindrops, and some arrows were even wrapped with ignited detonating charms behind them.

However, these attacks failed to stop the monster in the slightest.

The monster's body was full of arrows, but it didn't care. The limbs that were blown off by the detonating talisman recovered quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Obviously.

Ordinary attacks have no effect on it.

And the countless arms on the monster's upper body, every time it stretched out, could accurately grab a guard and drag the guard to the front.

Then, swallow it in one gulp!

"Isn't this a hand demon?"

Shinji, who was hiding in the side hall on the side of the courtyard, immediately recognized this monster as Demon, the hand demon that had eaten Tanjiro's dozen or so senior brothers and sisters in the proving ground.

It's just that the hand demon in front of him was obviously much bigger than the one in his impression. Not only was it bloated, but it also had an unbearable stench.

The courtyard soon filled with a pungent bloody smell, and there were stumps and broken arms everywhere, like hell on earth.

"wrong!"

Although terrified, Shinji, who was hiding in the dark, still noticed something.

He found that as the hand demon continued to devour the guards, their body size became larger and larger, and their attack frequency, strength, and even recovery ability also improved significantly.

Needless to say, devouring guards makes it stronger, and the strength is very significant.

Demon in demon Slayer can indeed become stronger by eating people, but this kind of strengthening needs to be accumulated over time.

Like the hand demon in front of him, his body size obviously swells after eating people. Shinji wonders if it has something to do with the chakra contained in the eaten guards.

"A demon with terrifying recovery ability, if he has Chakra then ....."

Just thinking about it, Shinji felt a chill and his scalp was numb.

In the courtyard.

It seems that he felt the rapid improvement of his own strength, and the frequency of hand demon eating people has also accelerated a lot.

It devoured the guard whole, and let out a disgusting moan: "It's really delicious! The people here are so delicious, oh~ah~!"

"That's what the intruder is?"

Watching the guards rapidly decrease in the arena, Shinji forced himself to calm down.

If you don't target weak points, normal attacks have very limited effects on demon.

Just like those guards who are not afraid of death, no matter how many times they shoot, slash, or blow up the hand demon, they can't destroy the hand ghosts, and as long as the hand ghosts swallow them, they can quickly recover their consumption.

Fortunately, Shinji knows the weakness of ghosts in Demon Slayer.

The biggest weakness among them is undoubtedly the sun. As long as it is exposed to the sun, under normal circumstances, no matter how powerful a demon is, it will be wiped out.

Besides sunlight, another weakness of demon is their necks, cutting off the necks of demon with a Nichirin Sword is the most common method used by the demon slayer team to eliminate demons.

In addition,demon are also afraid of a plant called 'wisteria'.

However, Shinji has neither a Nichirin sword nor a wisteria right now.

Looking at the time again, it was just past zero, and it was still early before sunrise.

"what to do!"

Shinji had a headache, and turned his gaze to the courtyard again.

Judging from the attire of the guards in the courtyard and the detonating symbols used, this place should still be in the ninja world, so he guessed that it was probably a palace of a certain daimyo.

This point can also be seen from the fact that the guards are brave enough to fight the hand demon without fear of death.

And from the analysis of the battle situation, the hand demon is very strong!

It's not that the hand demon can't fight against it. In fact, the guards have cut off the arm of the hand demon more than a dozen times, and once even shattered half of the hand demon body.

But these injuries, which are fatal to normal creatures, have no effect on opponent demon.

However, the hand demon can quickly increase its strength by continuously devouring the guards. In just such a short time, its size has swelled again, and it looks like a moving mountain of meat from a distance.

"Why are the people here so fragrant, ah. Gulu Gulu is so sweet!"

While slaughtering, the hand demon made a chilling chewing sound.

"Damn it, what kind of monster is this!"

"Reinforcement, why not come!"

"Don't eat me!"

Amidst the roar and wailing, the resistance of the guards gradually weakened.

hiss.

Watching the hand demon devour the last guard, Shinji looked dignified.

Even if it just moves, the hand demon can make a muffled rumbling sound, making the ground tremble slightly. And the buildings that stand in front of it along the way are like tofu made of tofu that will shatter when touched.

Now, it seemed to be staring at 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 seems that it hasn't found me yet"

swish.

The moment Shinji relaxed a little, an arm suddenly shot out from the back of the hand demon, accompanied by a foul-smelling wind, roaring towards him, smashing through the wall in an instant and grabbing Shinji who was hiding behind.

"this?!"

Before he could react, Shinji was caught by the hand demon.

Then, he grabbed Shinji's arm and retracted quickly, pulled Shinji up into the air, and brought Shinji in front of the hand ghost.

"Oh, I've smelled it a long time ago. You are more fragrant than them, much more fragrant. I can't help but drool when I'm so greedy!"

The hand demon stared at Shinji with an idiotic expression on his face, and his mouth was actually drooling.

Shinji felt nauseous.

Suddenly, the hand demon seemed to sense something, and there was a little more madness on his already deformed face: "So you are the 'light' of this world, don't drive me away!"

"Light?"

Seeing the hand demon's reaction, Shinji realizes that his identity seems to be very special.

Countless arms fluttered and swayed around, and the demon-like hand demon became more and more crazy. It grabbed Shinji and raised it above its 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 some misunderstandings about the ninja world! This is hell!"

Before he finished speaking, Shinji's eyes turned scarlet.
