What if Tanjiro was a Pure Saiyan? (DB X KNY)

Refined Senses

"Right now?"

Kotetsu says, "Tanjiro-san, please become stronger. And say this to him, 'That all you got, you piece of crap? Your hair's long. Cut it, kelphead. Runt. Clumsy peg legs. Slice your belly open, shameless punk." Tanjiro said aloud, "Uh...! Kotetsu-kun!? That's a little too...!" Kotetsu asks, "Is it better to slice his head off and hang it from the prison gate?" "No, it's not! I can't say that!" "Say it." "No!" finally yelled Tanjiro. Tanjiro then thought to himself, "I don't really have to say it. Tokito-kun was awesome. He's smaller and younger than me too. I can't lose to him! I have to become stronger!"

- Later -
Tanjiro and the doll were dodging and throwing swings at each other. Kotetsu watched the fight in amazement as Tanjiro dodged every single slash. Type Zero also dodged every slash Tanjiro threw. It was a little too fast for the small boy to even follow. But before Tanjiro could finally land one blow, Kotetsu yelled, "Wait!" Tanjiro looked at Kotetsu but was almost struck by a dummy sword. Eventually, Kotetsu hands him a box and asks, "Do you know about wooden puzzle boxes?" Tanjiro says, "Yeah, I do. My little sister Hanako had one." Tanjiro grabs it and opens it. Kotetsu explains, "You have to move everything in the right order or it won't open. Same principle here." Kotetsu walked to the doll and removes the sword while saying, "You can change the doll's movements depending on how many times you rotate the fingers. We swordsmiths establish the weakness of the swordsmen then we make them fight the doll after matching its movements to those weaknesses. If we don't do this, then there's really no point in having a training session. Even without torture resistance training, I wouldn't tell anyone I hate about this even if it kills me." Tanjirocthen thought to himself, "So basically, Dolls work in tandem with their masters. As a result, Tokito-kun just wasted his time."

- Time Skip By A Few Days -
After days of duelling, Tanjiro was given small cuts from the doll. With the doll's new setting, Tanjiro never hit the doll as well. Tanjiro was rewarded with food and water whenever he would hit the doll. But since he never hit the doll, he wasn't awarded food or water and got extremely thirsty and hungry. After a few days of training with the doll, it finally rained thus quenching his thirst. When he walked along a bridge, he fell into the water because of thirst and hunger. The water felt very dark and heavy, but it was warm. It felt as if human hands were massaging him all over the place. He saw something shiny at the bottom of the river. He went to grab it while being massaged. Strangely enough, that glowing object emanated a smell inside the water.

- After The River Incident -
Tanjiro was again, duelling the doll. Before striking at it, he thought, "This feeling... This smell... What is it? It doesn't feel like an opening.

"Blow to the head from the right."
"Neck."
"Right breast."
"Left flank."
"Right thigh."
"Right shoulder."

His body and smell told him where exactly he was gonna receive a blow. He dodged every single slash and finally struck the doll's leg with the opening it created for itself. Tanjiro dropped to the ground in exhaustion. Kotetsu begins to shout, "You landed a blow Tanjiro-san! But it was soft that it barely did shit, but food! You've earned it!" Tanjiro begins to say, "Rice ball with plums! Tea! Super high quality!!!" Tanjiro finally ate food and drank water in seven days. Tanjiro finally earned the ability to predict and perceive movements before they are landed. Now he can tell where his opponent will be attacking from just by feeling and his sense of smell. At least now, with all the training he's done, he should be faster than Sanemi or on par with him.

- After -
Tanjiro finally kept up with the doll and jumped into the air. He was about to strike the head before he was held back. He thought, "If I break it..." Kotetsu yells, "Cut it down!! I don't care if you break it! I can fix it for sure!" He then thought, "Tanjiro-san, you can't be too nice. If you hesitate now... But honestly, I don't want him to die because he's too nice." Tanjiro was so close to getting his head cut clean off but parried the sword and went belly facing down to the ground and struck the doll in the face. He finally hit the ground and yelled, "Ouch!" Kotetsu came to him and asked, "Are you okay?" Tanjiro sat beside a broken sword and said, "Sorry, I broke the blade I borrowed." Tanjiro held his stomach as Kotetsu says, "It's fine, don't worry. Wha?" The doll's head began to crack and fall apart revealing a very old sword inside.
