Both Uzui and Rengoku were standing at there guards while Uppermoon was saying something to his sister . Tanjiro and other were helping in evacuating the people inside the Hanamachi .
Then Gyutaro looked at them and said while scratching his face , his sharh nails were digging in his face and peeling his skin and blood was coming out " look at you two ! You both have such a nice face. no stain, no scars and marks ." He looked at Tengen and said " look at you such with broad shoulder . ...just don't let yourself get flabby and you are so tall . How big are you ? ... Over six feet. "
He then looked at Rengoku and said "and you with such bright hair and face , I bet you really kind and everybody likes you . Those hair , you are the flame hashira aren't you ? Your family have hashira in every generation in demon slayer corps ! You killed Uppermoon 3 with Water hashira too, You must be pretty respected for that ... I bet woman would flawn over both of you .
I admit I am very jealous of you two . Die ! Just die already and hope you two die painfully . Maybe flayed alive with your stomach sliced open . " Gyutaro was saying all this when daki shouted from behind while crying " Gyutaro not just them ,There are others too ! I fight as hard as I could ! I really tried . All on my own , they came all along and all messed up . They ganged upon me !"
After hearing this Gyutaro said Said " Yeah ... Oh No ... We can't have that . My adorable little sister tried as hard she could . Left with no head on her shoulders . I'm gonna kill everyone who messed with her . I'm gonna Collect what dew . We'll pay back for what you did to us ! And as you lie dying don't forget it was Gyutaro who sent you two to afterlife ."
Gyutaro launched his sickles as flying attack at both of them but they defended themselves without much effort . Tengen said " it's not us who will die , it will be you and the who will send you there will be us in most flashy way possible . " Rengoku then said " and you will pay for people you have killed !" They both were in pose from defending themselves which looked flashy in Uzui's terms if you saw them like that while saying it .
Gyutaro was scratching his face more and peeling his skin with it while saying " I am jealous ,look at you two saying things like protecting people . I bet people you save smother you with gratitude , they owe you there lives . You save them , you two really are good guys . " Tengen put fuel in Gyutaro jealousy by saying " Of course . I'm Flashy, brilliant sexy guy ! I've even got three wives ."
Tengen did it . He angered Gyutaro by telling him having more than one wife . His last words made Gyutaro dug his nails deep in his forehead and brought them down while cutting his face and eye . He said in anger "You have three wives ? Okay ,that's too much ! Even I can't forgive that . " Gyutaro unleashed his blood demon art at them .
" BLOOD DEMON ART : FLYING BLOOD SICKLES! "
Rengoku used fifth form to block the incoming attack
" Flame breathing: Fifth form: Flaming Tiger"
He blocked and cut through all the blood sickles that were coming at them when Gyutaro said " Nice try , but you can't get away . Blood sickles reform. " The blood sickles refromed themselves and attack them . Uzui quickly understood that Gyutaro not only throwed them but also can control them and they turn around till they hit , which is going to be a pain to fight .
Gyutaro came at him with to kill be Uzui blocked his attack and Rengoku was cutting his blood sickles . The quick attack made by Gyutaro was only able to put a cut on Uzui forehead . The jewelry he was wearing broke and Gyutaro said " you are good , I attacked in hope to kill you but you blocked it . "
They analysed the situation Uzui was thinking ' brother is quite flexible and fast and sister is not much special but got her head cut and didn't die , does cutting his head will kill them ? That Doesn't matter ,we have to try . people near us have already fled means I can fight with them . '
Uzui took out his explosive beads and throwed them towards the brother sister duo . Rengoku understood what Uzui was going to do . So, he jumped back and put up his guard , Uzui cut ball in mid-air with his sword and it created an explosion . After smoke cleared out Uzui said " this isn't going to be easy right kyojuro ? "
Rengoku said from behind " Yeah , we don't even know that if they will die from cutting his head , so let cut them both for failsafe . " Uzui smiled and said " yeah let's do that ." Currently infront of them daki and Gyutaro were covered in ball of Daki's Obi, which was slowly unfolding now . Gyutaro said to them " of course, it wouldn't because now we fight as one ! "
Currently Tanjiro was taking his sister box and putting it on a safe place . Zenitsu and Inosuke were standing little far from Uzui and Rengoku place because of the explosion that Uzui created . It didn't gave Inosuke chance to enter the battle which was making him angry .
Uzui and Rengoku knew they were there but we're waiting for Tanjiro because that means whole area is properly evacuated . Rengoku whispered to Uzui " I think we both should take the brother from duo and let those three hold sister for meantime . Tanjiro wa able to hold on himself against her and I think those three together can do it . " Uzui understood Rengoku plan and gave him a smile .
Gyutaro looked at them and said " you two are different . You two are different from other hashira's I have killed . Yellow haired one killed Akaza that means he is talented but you too are skilled . I bet you were special since you were born blessed with talent. I mean it , I am jealous . I want you two to die as soon as possible . "
This was not favourite topic of Uzui and he said " talent ?ha ! Do I look like I have talent to you ? You got pretty rosy outlook on life you if that's what you think . Then again you have been hiding out for hundreds of years ... So I guess you got pretty ignorant view of world . This is big country and it's teeming with incredible people .
Some are mystery and other have natural way with sword to become hashira in two months . Some are talented enough to fully master a breathing style that they can create new forms and variations of already existing ones . So I'm chosen ? Give me break ! You have no idea how much I've lost over the years ! " ' that's right I can't be positive like Rengoku always . '
Rengoku knew that Tengen was talented but it came from that brutal training of his past and seeing people like Muichiro, Giyu a and Gyomei made him little insecure of himself . Even Rengoku felt little liek that after seeing Giyu fight with in training, it was clear that he was holding back but his own training was hard next to Gyomei 's training .
Gyutaro looked at him and said " Urrrh then how do you explain it? Why haven't you died yet ? My blood sickles are poisonous but no matter how long do I wait , they don't seems to have any effects ! What going on ?"
Uzui shouted at him " THAT BECAUSE I AM FROM A SHINOBI FAMILY . I've built up resistance for poison ." But Daki said " they died out in edo period , enough lies !" This was not a lie , shinobi still existed but in not like before . Tengen was thinking about his own family , he had Nine siblings but seven were already dead when he was fifteen years old. It was from harsh training their father put them through .
He was afraid that clan was doomed the only survivors were Tengen and his younger brother . His brother was like his father , cold and heartless. For him minions were expendable and his wife was only for making babies .he had no respect for others ,he was stubborn and cold which Tengen never be . It was master Ubuyashiki who showed him something worth to risk his life for .
Uzui understanding was that the people who struggled with inner conflict were foolish weaklings . He knew what he should do and he will do it . Uzui now was little under the effect of poison and it seemed to be working now .
Gyutaro smiled and said " hey you .heh heh heh the poison seems to Finally working. You almost bluffed me into thinking that it was not working . It just take effect slowly on you . I wonder if it will be same for other one too . " This was worrying because Rengoku didn't have the resistance like Uzui for poison so he needed to be extra careful for when fighting against him .
Rengoku asked him " Uzui, you alright ? " Uzui said with a big smile on his face" no it's not working at all , I am alright kyojuro . So shall we dance ? I am in my peak condition . I can dance and sing and eat dozens of Bowls of tempura right now - let's fight . " He started to spin his swords and rushed towards duo and cut Obi 's of daki and blocked Gyutaro attackes .
He kicked Daki , which launched her into air and kyojuro to took this opportunity to separate them and started to increase distance between them . Now they both were handing one of each from brother-sister duo .
Uzui throwed his explosive balls in air and the Gyutaro sickle cut them while trying to attack him . Gyutaro was angry because Uzui kicked his sister but this led to him facing Uzui's explosions .
Gyutaro understood that the explosive beads were packing power strong enough to damage demons , there were also highly sensitive and his sickles cutade them explode. Uzui swinged his blade towards Gyutaro neck but he pulled his neck back , suddenly sword extended .
Gyutaro saw Uzui griping the tip of his sword from its one edge to sword . Gyutaro was impressed by the amazing girp strength that Uzui had and he deflected his sword with sickle when it was about cut his neck.
On other hand Rengoku already cut daki head again . She shouted while crying again " this bright haired jerk sliced my neck again . This is so unfair , why I am always the get cut ? " Gyutaro said " oh ,so you have noticed ? " This caught there attention and Uzui said " notice what ? " While smiling .
They both understood the weakness of this Uppermoon after he said this when Rengoku cut daki head and Uzui was about to cut Gyutaro's head . This meant that may be they have to cut there head together to kill them . Gyutaro also understood that they knew it now and this was problematic since one of them killed Uppermoon 3. This battle wouldn't be his favor if they knew his weakness.
He have to protect his sister and Gyutaro was going to do this at any cost . If he can kill one of them with his poison and injurie other then this battle will be in his favour . He said "it doesn't matter if you noticed Because sooner or later you two are going to die . Bit by bit we are getting closer to winning. "
Then loud voice came and said " Are you sure about that ? You haven't taken me into account , Lord Inosuke oh and his underlings." Gyutaro was thinking that more of them were slowly showing up and this was getting crowded but they were small fries so he could use them to force Hashira's to go defensive for protecting them .
In meantime Tanjiro also came at place of battle . Uzui's wives Suma and Makio wa still evacuating people from other areas of Hanamachi since this was going to be large scale battle . Hinatsuru was still weak from effect of poison but was coming towards battle area . She was wearing her Kunoichi dress.
Gyutaro said while scratching his head " No Matter how many low rankers , you bring . It wouldn't change anything , All of your future are bleak . There is no need of getting all worked up . Everybody dies . " Tanjiro was thinking about the brother sister duo . 'They both are Upperrank 6 ? Maybe they are joined somehow .that guy is definitely the core .
He smell different from her . The impact of his scent make my throat numb . My hand are shaking or am l exhausted . Afraid ? Either it doesn't matter . ' Tanjiro was stuck in his thoughts and both of them noticed it . Uzui said " we're Demon slayer corps and we are going to win . "
Daki shouted " if one hashira is poisoned and soon other will be to . " This caught Tanjiro's attention and yes Uzui was looking effected from the poison but Rengoku said " that doesn't matter because you two are going to die before the poison takes effect on us. We have already figured out you weakness. "
They both have smile on there faces and Uzui said " Listen up , demonities . We will win and we'll do it easily . I may be poisoned but I am more than equal to you and Kyojuro being here just put us on Major advantage don't underestimate us humans . These three are very best of our minions . They'll stand true to very end , cut of there hands and they will fight with their teeth ."
Rengoku said " you two are just getting in worse and worse position . The victory is ours and this will be an another Big blow to Kibutusji showing that you all are not invincible . " Uzui took from there and said " yes , besides just like Kyojuro said , we already know your weakness .
We'll cut your head simultaneously . I'm right aren't I ? You know ,I am . Otherwise you will just absorb your sister and consolidate your power but that leaves you vulnreable ! You guys are so simple !" Ok Inosuke said I have got this already . He was happy. Uzui explained this all because he wanted to share the information with those .
They not only cheered them but also gave them information about uppermoons weakness. Gyutaro smiled and said " many Demon slayer died trying to accomplish that 'easy' task . Including some hashira , I myself have eaten 15 of you and my sister have seven more . "
Daki also laughed and said " yeah . Until dawn breaks non of you are safe and long night is always on our side! So why don't just give it all up ." She tried to launch an attack on Uzui's back but Rengoku cut down her Obi .
Rengoku said with a smile " then why did your head got cut twice . Only problem there is your brother . Even these three can take care of you . We are simply free to attack brother and you said many hashiras died but I will say didn't an Stronger Uppermoon just died two . "
Then insult came as fire to daki but Uzui put more fuel into it by saying " Kyojuro is right and your are already more focused on your sister than us . I bet the hashira she killed were either new or weakened by you . She is pretty much useless from my prospective . Without she would only be at lower moon 1 position and she is also holding you ."
This done it and daki shouted " who are you two calling weak . I am strong , you all just ganged up on me . Otherwise I would have killed you already . " She tried to launch other attack but Zenitsu used first form of thunder breathing to to take her away form them .
" Thunder breathing: Frist form : thunderclap and flash : sixfold "
Inosuke said while going after Zenitsu " lets go Gonpachiro , they leaved that worm woman to us . They will take care of this mantis. " After hearing this Tanjiro also left them and went after Inosuke . Gyutaro only said "not if my little sister has anything to say about this ."
Zenitsu took her to the roof of nearby building . Daki was angry at his this act but Zenitsu said " before you die , I have task for you , apologize to the girl . Who ear you nearly tore off. It may be your money that buys them food , cloth and shelter but that doesn't gives you the right to treat them like this . "
Daki smiled and said " SPARE ME THE BORING LECTURE AND WHAT MALES YOU THINK THAT UGLY THING LIKE YOU CAN TALK TO ME LIKE AN EQUAL . THIS ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT , WOMEN ARE ALWAYS BOUGHT AND SOLD. THERE OWNER CAM SELL THEM , BUY THEM OR BREAK THEM .
THOSE WHO DON'T PROVIDE ANY VALUE DON'T HAVE ANY RIGHT TO BE TREATED LIKE HUMANS . UGLY HAVE NO RIGHT TO EAT . " Zenitsu said in calm voice " You were mistreated in past but that means you know its bad to treat others that way. "
Daki stayed quite for while and Tanjiro and Inosuke also came in meantime . Daki then said to him " you're wrong . Suffering of my past were lessons for what to do to others as revenge ! If don't cause misery equal to my own then I will never balance the scales ! "
Now there was a third eye on her forehead which was similar to Gyutaro's and she said " that how it is when you are a Demon and we kill anyone who tries us to tell otherwise . " Her presence was pure evil , Tanjiro felt a chill from it in his spine .
Gyutaro one eye was closed and he said " and in same way we will slit your throat too ." Gyutaro attacked them with his sickles but Rengoku blocked his attack and Uzui counter attacked him. The strategy was mostly same from the fight of Mugen Train but they have find another way to attack him at a moment where his is stuck or distracted .
Failure was not a option here since the dawn was too far and because of poison blood they will not last but for now it was block and counter attack .
Meanwhile with Gyutaro eye and power daki was stronger then before . She swarmed the Tanjiro and other two with Obi slashes . Tanjiro was thinking that she was now on totally different level but he can't backdown since Rengoku and Uzui have showed there trust in them .
Daki was laughing and said " Ah ha ha ha ha ha ! With Gyutaro awake now , I can use my full power . I can see everything , every move you make . " Inosuke said back to her " Just shut up ! I can't stand your screeching voice." It would be lie if we say that this was Daki full power because in reality Gyutaro was lending her his power .
Gyutaro said " heh heh heh ... You were lying about there capabilities as tsuguko . They aren't as good as you said . That won't do . That wouldn't do at all ." And Uzui replied with a large smile " then why did you lend her your power . This shows to me that your are enough concerned about her that you have to give her in order of her to win . I right then,the hashira's were also killed by through help of your power ."
He was fighting two hashiras and keeping lookout for his sister the eyes he gave her . This showed that what Uzui said was true , daki was only weak and Gyutaro was being dragged down by lending her his power while fighting but his also showed the level of skills Gyutaro possessed to kill hashiras like that . He always helped her in fight as a elder brother who protects his sister no matter what happens .
Those two noticed this change too and decided to take advantage of it . Now this was going to be Rengoku being counter and blocking while Uzui was going to be full on offensive in this fight . Gyutaro launched his attack at both of them.
His fighting style was like a mantis and blood sickles that he used were hard to counter in mid fight but Kyojuro was doing his best to block and counter all his attack and Uzui was trying to be offensive but Gyutaro was also very skilled fighter was not giving him much of opening .
The flying blood sickles were going everywhere and Tanjiro and other were also becoming there target . The Obi was cutting everything on roof and it was starting to collapse.they were doing there best but it was becoming hard for them to fight .
Rengoku was used fourth form to counter the flying blood sickles and Uzui used fifth form to do a offensive attack .
" Flame breathing: Fourth Form : Blooming flame undulation "
" Sound breathing:Fifth form : String performance "
Rengoku was defending but he have to stay away from Uzui since his fight create explosion with each swing . The explosion comes from the leftover gunpowder from bead and Uzui striking his swords together at such force that it breaks sound barrier at each swing .
Uzui was pushing back Gyutaro with his highly offensive attack and His blood sickles were used because Rengoku was not letting come near Uzui and cutting through them like butter. Gyutaro was thinking ' He will get nothing by pressing me unleashing such Flashy move , I have to keep taking him towards Daki place and her Obi 's will make hard fot that bright haired one to stop my flying blood sickles . '
Uzui while pushing Gyutaro and thinking ' he is taking us towards his sister and her Obi will interfere with Kyojuro making it harder to block his blood sickles . Kyojuro don't have poison resistance like me and it will take effect on him faster , which will be problematic for us. '
Gyutaro kept him taking towards the Daki place . One other hand Inosuke, Tanjiro and Zenitsu were having hard time fighting daki Obi which now very fast after Gyutaro giving his power to her . Inosuke said " yaaah it's not just the Obi ! There's blood blades too! I can't get close to the worm woman at all . Those blood blades are especially dangerous!! I can feel my skin tingling !! Even slight nick is enough to kill me !"
Both attackes combined were very ferocious and Tanjiro could hardly breathe that he might pass out . He was thinking ' breath ,breath , use recovery breathing .'. Suddenly Hinatsuru came and she was standing at building roof with some machine that had kunai as projectiles . She fired then towards Gyutaro .
Gyutaro noticed them and thought ' what's ? Kunai darts ? Swating all them away while I am fighting a two hashira is pain. They are so annoying and those three fledgling Demon slayers . No matter , even he if I get hit they wouldn't ... No ! Why make such point less attack now ? ' Gyutaro understood what those kunai were and defended himself with a blood Demon art technique .
" BLOOD DEMON ART: RAMPANT ARC RAMPAGE! "
The blood blades covered his body to deflect the incoming Kunai darts .but few past through his guard and hit him . Suddenly Tengen started came straight at him . He kunai didn't hit him because while defending he gave Rengoku freedom to defend Tengen .
Gyutaro understood that woman was shinobu and not warrior and will make a sneak attack but Uzui was a person was out of his mind . He came at him with care of himself getting stabbed by those Kunai's . The other one stopped them from hitting him but he would have done same if other hashira was not there to defend him.
Gyutaro attacked him but Uzui bowed down and cut his legs. His legs were not regenerating and suddenly Kyojuro was infront of him to cut his head . The Kunai's were coated in wisteria flowers and his body was going numb . It was interesting to see how quickly Uzui and Rengoku turned things around .
The poison used by Hinatsuru was strong enough to immobilize a demon of hafe day and even lower moon would not be able to of an hour but Uppermoon were different case since no one know that how much time they will stay under its effect .
( Thanks for reading this chapter and sorry for any grammatical mistakes and late chapters . I was told that I made toji very overprotective not like his original version so will try to something about it in his next big fight and was preparing for that . So , stay tuned for it .)
