Chapter 279
This scene made the members of the Demon Slayer Corps dumbfounded. Although they knew that these people had supernatural powers, Minato's ability to move like a flash still surprised them.
Minato walked back to the crowd calmly and explained Kushina's question first:
"Now I can't sense the position of the kunai instantly. If I use it rashly in the battle, the preparation time will be too long and it will reveal a flaw."
Then, he turned to Ubuyashiki Yoya and said calmly: "The only person who can make all the upper-rank demons go out to capture Nezuko is Muzan."
"Therefore, in the last battle, I had secretly let my clone carry the Flying Thunder God Kunai."
"If everything goes well, there should be a kunai lying quietly near Muzan, waiting for us to launch a general attack."
Although Ubuyashiki couldn't see, he understood Minato's ability to use special kunai to move in space after the detailed explanation of the pillars.
And at this moment, there was a kunai lurking near Muzan.
After understanding this, Ubuyashiki Yoya stood up excitedly, his face filled with indescribable joy.
"That's great!" He said loudly: "In this way, the prerequisites for defeating Muzan have been gathered."
"I have a hunch that this blood feud that has lasted for a thousand years will definitely end in the hands of our generation."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the conference room was pushed open and Xingliu walked in from outside. His expression was serious and his eyes were directly cast at Minato.
"Minato, although some words are unpleasant to hear, you must learn to speak frankly." There was a hint of severity in Xingliu's voice:
"You should understand that the reason why the tasks of the ninja village are divided into levels is to ensure the success rate of the tasks and the safety of the executors."
"If people with insufficient strength are allowed to perform high-level tasks, the result will only be failure or even sacrifice."
Others looked at Xingliu and Minato in confusion, not understanding why he suddenly said this.
Minato smiled bitterly and nodded, indicating that he understood what Xingliu meant.
He turned to several pillars, hesitated for a moment, but finally said frankly:
"Although I suggested that you hold back the rest of the demons to buy us time, I have to admit that your strength is far behind that of the upper-rank demons."
"Except for that monk, the rest of the people may find it difficult to resist the upper-rank demons."
Minato had already begun to plan this time in the last battle, but what made him feel tricky was the current strength of the Demon Slayer Corps.
After careful observation and analysis, he believed that except for the Rock Pillar, the other pillars might not be able to hold out for too long when facing the upper-rank demons such as Kokushibo.
Even if there are only three upper-rank demons left now, the strength of the upper-rank one is enough to fight the entire Demon Slayer Corps.
In addition, he needs to hide Kushina and Rosa as hidden pieces, so the current manpower seems quite tight.
So in order to improve the overall strength of the team and better complete the assessment.
Minato specifically asked Xingliu and other teachers to make a training ground and planned to conduct intensive training within a limited time.
Although time is tight, Minato believes that the newly acquired breathing method will greatly enhance the strength of their three teams.
In this way, he has a 70% chance of successfully killing Muzan.
However, not everyone can easily accept this reality.
After hearing Minato's words, the hot-tempered Wind Pillar Shimizu was furious. He walked quickly to Minato, glared at him and drew his sword.
"How can you say such nonsense!" he roared, "You haven't fought with me, how do you know I can't do it!"
As he said, he pointed his sword at Minato.
However, to his surprise, his wrist was firmly held by Minato.
"Sorry, I may have said it too directly." Minato's voice was still calm: "But what Xingliu said is right, we must face reality."
"If I don't tell you the truth, you may encounter the upper demon without preparation and be defeated in an instant."
Shimizu felt the power from Minato's palm, and a trace of shock flashed in his eyes.
He understood that Minato was not exaggerating, and this gap in strength did exist.
Minato loosened his hand, looked into Sane's eyes, and said sincerely: "Mr. Sane, please believe me, I have no intention of belittling you."
"But facing the upper-rank demon, you must be cautious no matter what."
Sane was silent for a moment, then slowly put down the sword in his hand.
He understood that Minato was telling the truth, and they really needed more powerful power to fight against the upper-rank demon.
"I understand." Sane's voice was a little low: "I will try my bestImprove your strength, and you will not be disappointed. "
At the same time, the other pillars also deeply realized the gap in strength between each other from this brief confrontation.
This discovery made them fall into a brief silence.
In the battle the day before, they saw Minato and others fighting with the upper ranks.
They were confident that they could do this, but the reality cruelly broke their fantasy.
Just when they were frustrated, a crisp applause broke the silence.
Xingliu stood in front of them with an encouraging smile on his face: "Don't be so discouraged, I found a teacher for you."
He paused and continued: "Just think of it as a reward for you to let me see so many touching moments."
After that, he turned and shouted to the outside of the door: "Come in! "
As the voice fell, a man wearing a red haori, dark red hair, high ponytail, and two earrings on his ears walked in.
He looked around at the people present, and a vicissitudes of life appeared on his face: "I didn't expect Muzan to be alive. I am really sinful."
The appearance of this man changed the atmosphere present. The vicissitudes and self-blame revealed in his tone made everyone feel an inexplicable depression.
Kyojuro stared at the man in front of him, and a sense of déjà vu came to his heart. He couldn't help but ask: "Who are you?"
The man turned around slowly, staring at everyone with deep eyes, and his voice was low and powerful: "I am Yoriichi Tsugikoku, and I was also a member of the Demon Slayer Corps."
His words echoed in the air, and Ubuyashiki Yoshiya's breathing suddenly became rapid.
He looked at Yoriichi in disbelief: "You, are you Yoriichi who forced Muzan into a desperate situation hundreds of years ago? "
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi shook his head slightly, a trace of self-blame flashed in his eyes: "No, I am just a sinner who failed to kill Muzan."
Yaoya wanted to continue asking, but was interrupted by Xingliu:
"Okay, let's talk about the past later. Now, you need to follow me, I will take you to the training place for the next few days. "
