Kamado Tanjiro Vs Muzan Kibutsuji

Chapter 67 { Loss }

Tanjiro pov

After using all my strength fighting Akaza, i could feel my body Suffering from a heavy injury that i acquire, my breathing is slowly dying. I don't know why...maybe I'll die or i just overdo using the breath of the sun.

It's a price to pay for using that breath style with this weak body of mine. "Kamado my boy... let's have a little chat"

Rengoku pov

I can't believe my eyes seeing a swordman who use this kind of breath style. Giyu tomioka told me that tanjiro is using a breath of fire or flame breathing.

But when i see it... it's not. This breath style is much more superior than the flame breathing that i use. The heat that i can feel even though I'm far from them. The sharpness of every slashes. The speed of every turn and the strength and power that he has by just breathing.

It's all superior than my flame breath. This guy...will become a pillar in no time. He had the strength, he had the brain, he had the will and resolve to do it. All that's left is experience.

Tanjiro pov

Rengoku-san called my name and i sit in front of him. I can see the wound in his stomach slowly opening. I feel to much guilt just by looking at it. I can't even protect him.

"Where did i go wrong?" I thought as he finally open his mouth. "I want you to go to my parents house, the Rengoku house. There should be some notes left behind. My father often read those, but i never read them so I don't know what's inside. But there must be some record of your breath style there"

He said as i can feel my tears falling them. Rengoku-san breathing si getting weak every second pass by. "I want you to tell my little brother Senjuro that he should proceed down the path that he thinks is right. Tell my father to take care of his body. And also, kamado my boy. I believe in you sister. I accept her as a member of the demon hunters."

Rengoku pov

"Despite her bleeding out, I saw the girl defend humans inside the train. Whatever else is said, those who risk their lives to battle demons and defend humans are demon hunters." I told him as i see every tears on his eyes continuously ran down to the ground.

"Keep your shoulders high at all times. If your own weakness and cowardice knock you down, fire up your spirit, grit your teeth, and keep moving forward. You can't stop the progression of time by stopping in your tracks and cowering..

Don't get down because we're all nearing the end. Don't be concerned about me dying in this place. It's common for pillars to become the protectors of their juniors.

If you're a pillar, you do what everybody else does, regardless of who they are. Young buds are unable to be plucked. Kamado my boy, inogashira boy, golden boy. You all have room to improve. And the next time, you'll all be demon slayer Hunters' pillars that will support the corps to the very end."

"I...beli...eve in you" i told them as i felt my heart stopped beating. I can still hear them crying. I'm glad that i saved those those hundred passengers. I can die finally die in peace. "Mother...did i well?" I asked as i saw my own mother walking into me.

"Yes, you did a wonderful job" when i heard that. I smiled as i die in piece. I don't have any regrets. "Kamado my boy...you have a lot of potentials. That breath style of yours... it's Beautiful"

Zenitsu pov

I can't believe what I'm hearing... it's hard to believe what I'm hearing. Rengoku-san used a variety of tactics when the train derailed. The passenger suffered only minor injuries. "For him to die... I can't believe it...did an upper moon demon actually come?

Tanjiro pov

I hate it...even if i was able to do just a single thing. There was another thick wall right in front of me. "Despite the fact that I should have been able to assist him, I was unable to reach them. I felt like I was stumbling at the time...is it possible for me to become Rengoku-san?" I said as i can feel myself with too much regret.

"Don't go spewing around timid words! It's useless to argue over whether or not you should be like him.! He said that he has faith in us! Don't even do anything else but living up to it! Even if you sob on the deck, he won't return! And if you regret anything, don't cry! You just have to keep on living!" Inosuke yelled at me. It's hard to believe that tanjiro the strongest in the squad is crying over this and will give up just because he regret not being strong enough to protect Rengoku-san.

"But your crying too..." Zenitsu said as he saw tears rolling down from inosuke headpiece. "I ain't crying!" Inosuke bash zenitsu head and once again they fight like a child .

"I'm glad i have this two at my side" i thought as i smiled at their antics. I'm already use in them fighting each other.
