On the application of plant zombies in the world of Naruto

"Mr. Purgatory didn't lose!!!"

"Mr. Purgatory won!!!"

Looking at Tanjiro's cries of unwillingness, sadness, pride, pain, and self-blame, Rengoku Kyojuro suddenly laughed.

Perhaps it was the rising sun that dispelled the coldness of the night, or perhaps it was the sun-like faith of the young man in front of him that Rengoku Kyojuro felt the pain in his body was relieved a lot.

The young man Kamado already has the necessary belief to become a pillar.

There are also the pig-headed boy, the yellow-haired boy, and the Nezuko girl who was turned into a demon. They will all grow into the new pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps...

"Stop yelling like that. The wound in your abdomen will open up."

Rengoku Kyojuro spoke gently. He hadn't spoken so softly in a long time. It might be that the chest and abdomen pierced by the Upper Rank Three affected his voice.

"You're seriously injured too. If you die, I'll be the loser."

"Mr. Purgatory..."

The Kamado boy was still crying, and the pig-headed boy seemed to be crying too. It seems that the wild boar head mask is really a good thing. If you wear it, a man will not be seen crying.

After thinking of a joke in his mind that only he found funny, Rengoku Kyojuro called out to Tanjiro Kamado who was at the edge of the forest in the distance.

Upper Rank Three had just hidden in the shadow of the forest, but the young Kamado was too close. If Upper Rank Three turned back despite the pain of being burned by the sun, it would be dangerous.

"Come here and say a few words to me one last time."

Watching the Kamado boy move away from the shadows and step into the sunshine, Rengoku Kyojuro could finally rest assured.

"In the dream just now, I remembered something."

"You should go to the Rengoku family. There are notes of the Flame Pillars of all generations. The God of Fire Kagura you mentioned, huh - there might be records in there."

Although he had gotten used to the pain in his left eye, the penetrating wound on his chest was still a bit of a bother. Rengoku Kyojuro struggled to maintain his breathing and tried to speak as smoothly as possible.

"Mr. Purgatory, stop talking. Stop the bleeding with your breath. Is there no other way to heal the wound?"

He looked at Tanjiro Kamado's flustered expression, mainly his lowered eyebrows, and thought of Senjuro.

Chijuro, my little brother, I guess I have to say sorry this time.

"No, I will die soon."

"I want you to tell my brother, Chijuro, to follow his own ideas and do what he thinks is right."

Rengoku Kyojuro calmly announced the fact that he would die.

Although it may be sad, he is at peace from the bottom of his heart.

The warmth he felt when his mother was still alive when he was a child, and the self-destruction of his father after his mother passed away. He insisted on learning the Breathing of Fire on his own, and his father might not like his self-willed behavior.

But, I'm sorry, father, after hearing about your heroic deeds from the old lady selling bento at the station, I still believe that I can become a swordsman and save other people's lives, just like you did back then.

It really is, that’s great.

As you said, there is no shortage of geniuses in this world, such as Xiazhu, Ganlu Temple, and the Kamado boy and the Pig-headed boy in front of me. They each have their own talents. I am just an ordinary purgatory.

But geniuses also need time to grow.

During the time they are growing up, I, an ignorant person like you, will have to support them a little.

"Please tell my father to take care of himself."

"Also, Kamado-kun, I believe in your sister. I agree that she is a member of the Demon Slayer Corps."

"Anyone who is willing to risk his life to fight demons and protect humanity is a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, no matter what others say."

"Live with your head held high!"

"No matter how big a blow you suffer because of your own weakness and powerlessness,"

"They all have to burn their souls."

“Bite the bullet and keep moving forward”

“Even if you stop and hesitate to move forward, time will not stop for you.”

"I won't be sad with you"

"Don't blame yourself for dying here"

"I am a pillar, and I am willing to be a strong shield for the younger generations."

"We are the pillars, and everyone will make the same choice"

"I will never let the devil pick the new buds"

"Kamado boy, pig-headed boy, yellow-haired boy, you must continue to grow up"

"In the future, you will become the pillars supporting the Demon Slayer Corps."

“I believe in you”

Ah... my vision is a little blurry... I lost too much blood...

Rengoku Kyojuro's half-closed right eye suddenly opened wide. In the wasteland not far away, that figure...

A white kimono, a red and yellow obi, long black hair draped on one side, and... red eyes that repeatedly burned with warm flames...

"Mother……"

“Have I done my duty?”

“Have I completed all the things I should do and all the responsibilities I should fulfill?”

Ruhu smiled, her eyes full of pride, "You did a great job."

Faced with his mother's praise, the pain in his body seemed to disappear in an instant. The soft light from his mother shone on his face, and he smiled happily.

He also closed his eyes in satisfaction.

dark

There seems to be some sound in the darkness

Rengoku Kyojuro tried to hear what the sound was.

He remembered that he was dead, and it was his mother Ruka who welcomed him.

I think I have arrived in the other world now.

It turns out there really is a world after death. Can I meet the Flame Pillars of past generations here?

How would they evaluate their generation of Flame Pillar?

The sound seems to be getting louder.

Light appeared in the darkness

The light became brighter and brighter, and gradually... it condensed into a letter? ?

[Dear Kyojuro, Master Hozuki said that too many people have died in a certain world recently, and there are too few souls that meet the conditions for reincarnation. Mom has grabbed a good spot for you and will send you to reincarnate first~]

[After all, Kyojuro died too early. You are totally unworthy of the name Shouro that your mother gave you. ]

【In the future, follow your heart and live a good life】

[Love your mother, Ruka]

It was confirmed that after Rengoku Kyojuro finished reading the letter, it disappeared automatically.

He was a little dazed. His mother's personality seemed to have become much more lively...

Am I... already reincarnated? With all my past memories?!

This time, I must witness the death of Muzan Kibutsuji with my own eyes! ! ! !

He opened his eyes quickly and met the eyes of the child who was squatting beside him and looking at him.

One second

Two seconds

"Ahhhhhhh!!! Brother Madara! He's awake!!!"

Uchiha Izuna, now five years old, refused to admit that he was actually frightened by his nephew who suddenly opened his eyes!

Although his eldest nephew's eyes suddenly widened, his eyeballs did not move at all and he continued to stare at him.

But he just ran to find his brother excitedly when he saw that he had woken up! That's all!

Before he could say anything to stop him, Rengoku Kyojuro could only watch the black-haired child disappear in a flash.

Judging from the speed at which he is running, he should be the successor of Breathing of Thunder?

Rengoku Kyojuro tried to sit up, but his clumsy body seemed not to obey his commands, so he could only reach out and try to hold on to the wall.

A white and tender little hand appeared before his eyes.

He shook his hand vigorously.

The little hands also clenched.

A few small dimples appeared on the back of my hand.

what……

In an instant, Rengoku Kyojuro understood what reincarnation really meant.

He…turned into a baby!!!
