To Another World || A Naruto x Demon Slayer Story

10 || Soryu and Taijutsu

Third Person

"KAW! KAW! NARUTO UZUMAKI! HEAD TO THE INFINITE TRAIN! TO KYOJURO RENGOKU! HE IS FACING UPPER MOON THREE! KAW!"

*DEG*

If there was one thing Naruto did not want to hear at this moment, it was anything related to Rengoku facing a Twelve Demon Moon, much less an Upper Moon.

'Crap! Aren't Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke there too?'

"I'll get going." He informed the Insect Pillar that was with him on the roof.

"I'll join to-"

"No!" Naruto cut off.
"You stay here. I can handle this."

"But-" She was cut off again.

"Kocho." Naruto looked back and gave her a reassuring smile.
"Trust me on this." He said while looking back to his front.
"Just get some patient beds ready, we're definitely gonna need it."

"Y-Yes!" Was the last word that was said from their disturbed rooftop conversation, coming out from Shinobu.

And with that, Naruto rushed to his room and changed to his Demon Slayer uniform, draped his haori over his shoulders and most importantly, his black and orange-tinted blade. Although, he didn't realize how much--or how little--he was going to use it anyway.

He quickly went out of the HQ, now on the path to the battlefield. His crow was already levitating, about to guide the swordsman to the site. But, Naruto didn't think that was necessary.

"Crow, you don't have to guide me there. I can go there myself." He announced to his Kasugai Crow.

"I'll still be there, to report anything that happens directly to the master. KAW!" He answered in his usual annoying voice, albeit much calmer this time.

"I see. Anyway, do you have a name?"

"Chiyo!"

"Ah! That sure brings back memories. Anyway, see you there!" Naruto said. But before he departed...
'Kurama.'
'I know.'

He awakened his usual yellow Nine-Tails chakra form. There was nobody around so he was comfortable in using it. He ran, following the strong presence... no, presences, that he could sense. With the help of Kurama's power, he'd be able to get there in no time and, hopefully, with no casualties, either.

"Flame Breathing: Third Form, Blazing Universe!"

"Fourth Form, Blooming Flame Undulation!"

"Destructive Death..."

"Fifth Form..."

"Disorder!"

"Flame Tiger!"

"KYOJUROOO!!!"

'Damn it! Damn it! They're still far away. I still can't accurately sense them!'

Naruto was still trying to pinpoint the exact location of the battle. And even though he's travelling in inhumane speeds, it still wouldn't be easy to run. The faster you go, the quicker your reflexes should be to try and avoid possible obstacles. And even if that wasn't a big problem for somebody like Naruto, it would still slow him down a tiny bit.

'I can still sense them. I still feel everyone's presence. No one's dead. But, that also means the demon also isn't dead!'

He kept running, jumping, and weaving. He could feel himself getting closer, but being closer wasn't enough. He had to be there. He'd promised to not let anybody die within his sight. And he wouldn't want to break that.
