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 the '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 the Hokage Building, Anbu Building, Hospital and other important institutions are 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 definitely use this to deal with the 'invasion'.
Secondly.
Taking advantage of the two days of living alone, he gradually adapted to the state of opening 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 a little 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.
Click...
There was a soft sound, and 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 passed, and he frowned slightly: "Isn't it a prank?"
Before he finished speaking, he disappeared into the room with a whoosh...
...
...
...
Boom boom boom!
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, came to the window and looked out.
In the courtyard of the palace, hundreds of guards with bows on their backs and swords were seen besieging a giant monster with a dark blue body, a bloated body, and an upper body covered with arms.
"Stop it!"
"Protect Your Highness!"
"Don't let it get close to the main hall!"
Amidst the shouts and 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.
Obviously.
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!
"This...isn't this a hand ghost?"
Shinji, who was hiding in a side hall on one side of the courtyard, immediately recognized the monster as Demon Slayer, the hand ghost in the training ground that 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, but 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.
"wrong!"
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.
For a hand ghost like the one in front of him that obviously expanded in size as it ate people, Shinji wondered if it had something to do with the chakra contained in the bodyguards being eaten.
"If a ghost with terrifying recovery ability possesses 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 what the intruder is?"
Seeing the number of guards in the field decreasing rapidly, 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 the weakness of demons in Demon Slayer.
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 to do!"
Shinji had a headache and turned his attention to the courtyard again.
Judging from the costumes of the guards in the courtyard and the detonating talismans 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!
That's not to say that the Hand Ghost can't compete. In fact, the guards have cut off and blown off the Hand Ghost's arms more than a dozen times. Once, half of the Hand Ghost's body was even blown to pieces.
But these injuries, which 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, ah...Gulu...Gulu...they are so sweet!"
The hand ghost made a chilling 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!"
Amidst the roars and wailings, 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 blocking 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 discovered me yet..."
Whoa...
Just when Shinji relaxed a little, an arm suddenly shot out from the back of the hand ghost, accompanied by a foul-smelling wind, roaring towards him, instantly breaking through the wall and grabbing Shinji who was hiding behind.
"this?!"
Before he had time to 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, so much. I'm so greedy that I can't help but salivate!"
The hand ghost stared at Shinji with a crazy look on his face, and saliva actually flowed from his mouth.
Shinji felt so sick that he wanted to vomit.
Suddenly, the hand ghost seemed to feel something, and his already deformed face gained a hint of madness: "So you are the 'light' in this world, don't drive me away!"
"Light?"
Looking at the reaction of the hand ghost, 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, "Do you have any misunderstandings about the ninja world? This is hell!"
Before he finished speaking, Shinji's eyes turned scarlet... This chapter has been completed!
