Chapter 66 - 66: Heading to Kansai "I can teach you all how to use Ripple." As he spoke, Jotaro had already taken out a thick notebook from the space. The method of training in Ripple, as well as some of his own insights, were all recorded inside. Originally, he intended to give this notebook to Tanjiro, but giving it to the Demon Slayer Corps should be even more useful. If the Demon Slayer Corps could master this technique, it could accelerate the destruction of demons, something he was happy to see. Reaching out to catch the notebook thrown over by Jotaro, Shinobu felt that she had still underestimated this person named Jotaro. 'Such a precious thing, he just gives it away like that?' You have to know that this kind of training method would be a secret not passed down in any family. "Jotaro-san, is it really okay to give us something this precious?" Shinobu asked uncertainly. Jotaro said calmly, "Compared to me, you all probably need this more." He looked deeply at Shinobu. "What I mentioned earlier is not the pinnacle of Ripple. The true pinnacle of Ripple lies in its ability to imitate the energy of the sun." As he spoke, a golden glimmer rose on Jotaro's hand, and with the continuous pulsation of the golden Ripple, it quickly covered his entire palm. A blazing white light shone from his hand, as if it were a miniature sun. Nezuko had been happily skipping over, but the moment she saw the light, she instantly hid behind Tanjiro. If Joseph Joestar were here, he would definitely be shocked by his grandson's Ripple talent. This powerful Ripple energy was simply terrifying. Shinobu narrowed her eyes slightly, staring at Jotaro's broad palm, while stormy waves surged within her heart. But Jotaro's next words stirred her heart even more and left her unable to calm down for a long time. "With energy like the sun, even without a Nichirin blade, you can kill demons." In an instant, the Ripple on Jotaro's hand dissipated, and the surrounding light dimmed again. Shinobu said earnestly, "Jotaro-san, I want to ask you a question." "Is the practice of Ripple limited by the user's physical constitution?" Jotaro replied truthfully, "I don't know." He had never paid attention to this question, because his physical constitution had always been top-notch. In his memory, besides himself, there were only two other people who trained in Ripple, his grandfather Joseph and his grandfather's grandfather Jonathan. These two people's physical constitutions... were the same as his, top-tier, sturdy men standing at 190 centimeters. With not enough samples, Jotaro didn't want to draw a conclusion carelessly. Jotaro said lightly, "But Ripple has fewer limitations than the Breathing Techniques, you might as well give it a try." For someone like Shinobu, Ripple could completely compensate for her lack of physical strength. Ripple kills demons using solar energy, not brute strength. "Mm." Shinobu was slightly stunned, feeling as if her inner thoughts had been seen through, and responded softly. Being unable to cut off a demon's neck had always been her deepest source of inferiority. Kaigaku's words still echoed in her ears, further crushing her self-confidence. Her wish to avenge her sister, she had once thought it would never come true. "Thank you, Jotaro-san." Shinobu smiled brightly. She clenched her fists, rekindling some confidence. With Ripple, she might be able to gain the strength to avenge her sister. With the Ripple light gone, Nezuko immediately leapt onto Jotaro, her tender white hands tightly grabbing his coat. Tanjiro hurriedly said, "Nezuko, get down quickly! Don't disturb others." He quickly apologized to Jotaro. "Jotaro-san, sorry. I've warned Nezuko, but she just won't listen." "Yare yare..." Jotaro looked down at Nezuko's rosy cheeks, feeling a bit helpless. ——— Kagaya Ubuyashiki invited Jotaro to visit the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, but Jotaro refused. Shinobu tried to persuade him in vain, thinking he was angry because the clues were cut off halfway, so she gave up. Anyway, she already knew all the details of the situation, so she could relay it in his stead. In the end, the only one willing to accompany her was Tanjiro. Nezuko completely refused to leave Jotaro's side. This matter was important, so Kagaya Ubuyashiki specifically convened a Hashira meeting. The miserable state of the Sound Hashira and Wind Hashira shocked Gyomei Himejima and Kyojuro Rengoku who had just arrived. They knew the strength of these two very well, who could have injured them to such an extent? By now, the Wind Hashira had already come to terms with it. After learning Jotaro's deeds, he now only felt admiration for him. Kagaya Ubuyashiki explained everything clearly. The others no longer pursued the matter of Shinobu and Giyu Tomioka violating corps rules. Moreover, Nezuko's lively and harmless demeanor had already been witnessed by Sanemi after he woke up. She was indeed different from the man-eating demons. His blood was special, rarest among the rare, and even though it was spilled all over the place, Nezuko showed no reaction. He was fully convinced. "Master, we already understand Nezuko's situation. What we should focus on now is the issue of Muzan Kibutsuji." Sanemi bowed his head respectfully and said, "If the one who attacked Tanjiro's family was Muzan, then according to Tanjiro's description, Muzan is currently in an injured state." "This is a great opportunity, we should strike while the iron is hot! Don't give him any chance to catch his breath." Tengen Uzui said, "You're right. But Japan is so big, where should we go to find him?" "That bastard Muzan has always been cautious. It's been over a hundred years, and we've never even caught a glimpse of his tail." Shinobu said, "Master, perhaps we can listen to Jotaro-san's opinion." She then relayed Jotaro's speculation from that night. "Muzan is most likely engaged in blood research. Such research is impossible to conduct alone." "Whether it's the knowledge required for research, or the tools needed for experiments, none of it can be done without human society." Kagaya Ubuyashiki nodded and said, "As long as Muzan doesn't abandon the research, human society will surely show traces of his presence." Jotaro had helped them significantly narrow down the search range. "Have the swordsmen conduct detailed inspections of the areas Jotaro-san listed. Use them as the center and carry out a thorough search." Even if they couldn't find Muzan, Kagaya Ubuyashiki would not make things easy for him. Having newly confirmed their strategy for dealing with Muzan, Kagaya Ubuyashiki then assigned new tasks to the Hashira. Most of the Hashira were assigned across various parts of Japan to back up the Demon Slayers. Only Shinobu 's mission was to persuade Jotaro to join the Demon Slayer Corps. Judging by Jotaro's attitude, he clearly had no interest in the corps. But Kagaya Ubuyashiki did not intend to give up so easily on such a brave and resourceful general. Shinobu knew she didn't have much influence, but she could only give it a try. She also wanted to keep Jotaro in the Demon Slayer Corps. Not only could Jotaro greatly boost their strength, she also had some other thoughts. When returning to the Butterfly Mansion, Jotaro was sitting alone in the corridor, smoking, with several empty soda cans placed beside him. Shinobu thought he was in a bad mood and comforted him, "Jotaro-san, I know the broken trail of clues is really frustrating, but since things are like this, let's think of another way." Jotaro glanced at her, didn't respond, and instead asked, "Where's Tanjiro? I need him to accompany me to Kansai." Tanjiro came over after checking on Nezuko, and happened to hear Jotaro's words. His eyes lit up with anticipation and he said, "Jotaro-san, what do you need me to do?" Jotaro's gaze sharpened, flashing with brilliance. "I need your sharp sense of smell." ═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═ patreon.com/XenosX ????Joining Patreon keeps me motivated and eager to work diligently, so please consider joining.????
