Brothers Through Ashes(Complete)

Hell and Silence

So this is how Tanjiro training went.

"Crouch boy," Uzui ordered. It was currently midnight. Tanjiro crouched on his toes. It was uncomfortable since he'd never stretched his feet like that for so long. I mean, he is holding about 140 pounds of pure muscle on his 10 toes for who knows how long.

His back was straight and his hands were in his lap. "Mhm. Now then!"

Uzui came out of nowhere with two pieces of bamboo which were weighed down by two boulders, respectively. He easily lifted it and rested the torture devices and placed them on his shoulders like weights. "Why~~" He whined. "You agreed to this. As I said, Author-sama is removing your plot armour and giving it to the rest of the cast."

"Wah..."

"Stfu before I add more weights."

"Yes sensei."

So that was his training and of course, he took missions every day. Here's the routine.

Shinobi raining begins at 12:00 am. It continues until about 8:00 am with a few 2-minute breaks. He sleeps for 1 hour. Trains his techniques from 2 to 4. Visits the butterfly mansion because of Nezuko and to be healed from 4-6. 6-11 he's out demon-slaying. 11-12 he's napping. Repeat. As you can see, he's being tortured. So imagine this... for a whole damn year.

Tanjiro is now 17 is well known as the student of two Hashiras. As such, everyone respects him and is afraid of him. Plus, Nezuko is the madonna of the Demon Slayer Corps but since she is his sister, no one has dared asked her out.

After being released from his afternoon training, he visits the Butterfly Mansion but Nezuko is away on a mission. He has been given the day off training. (Rui aka Lower moon 5 on MT Nat hasn't happened yet).

Tanjiro sauntered around the mansion aimlessly. He had just departed from the recovery room after talking to the youngest of the Butterfly sisters. Aoi was busy washing so he had no one to talk to. He kept walking until he heard shouting from a recovery room and a demon slayer ran out nervously.

"Interesting."

He took a peek inside to see a blonde hair kid and one with a boar hide as a head-covering. Shinobu was sitting on a stool. "Your recovery training begins tomorrow."

"No." Grunted the boar headed boy. "Ara ara~~. Don't tell me the all-mighty Inosuke Hashibira is afraid of training? I'm it'll be nothing for you." She teased. Did he expel... steam? It discharged from the boar hide's nostrils. "And you Zenitsu-Kun! I'm cheering you on! Do your best, my dear!" She flirted. His face turned red and began jumping up and down.

I snuck in using the skills I had learned and was installed behind my old... friend. I placed my hands on her shoulder and I felt her body shiver. She turned around in shock. "Yo."

Inosuke thoughts: I didn't even hear the air change or smell him. I wanna fight him

Zenitsu thoughts: Omg he looks so scary.

"T-t-tanjiro-Kun. W-what are you doing here? Your sister is on a mission." She stuttered. "I thought I'd check on you. I miss our little rooftop chat's y'know." He teased. She looked to the ground. "And who are these?" He queried. "Oh! Umm. This is Zenitsu Amagatsu and Inosuke Hashibira. They're recovering from a mission where they got overpowered because of the incompetence of newbies."

"Hello." He greeted. "Oh. Boys, this is the Flame Hashira's tsugoku, Tanjiro Kamado. He's also a student of The Sound Hashira... so please don't anger him. He gets... scary." Shinobu informed. The two boys were stunned. Even though Shinobu is the weakest Hashira, she's a hashira nonetheless and she is saying he can get scary.
