Chapter 35: Rescue Mission Success

They weren't happy that they would have to wait to watch the fight between Tanjiro and Hikaru against Daki but they knew that there was no protesting it. Instead they decided to turn their attention to other more important things, like training like they had decided.

"We need to train with other people, not just people that we normally do since there is a chance that any of us will be paired up for missions after this," Hikaru noted, trying to figure out a way to do this without everyone fighting against each other to choose who they wanted to fight against.

"Perhaps Oyakata-sama should choose who we should train with, then we can first train and during the next break we can have spars. This way we are learning as well as training," Himejima suggested.

"That sounds like a good enough idea to me," Rengoku grinned and everyone else gave a small agreement.

"You have fun with that, you little demon girl, follow me," Akaza ordered as he pointed to Nezuko who tilted her head.

"Nezuko, Akaza is going to help you learn how to protect yourself better okay?" Tanjiro tried to explain but he just got a confused look.

"Akaza is going to train you to fight and then you'll be able to protect yourself and more importantly you'll be able to protect Tanjiro," Hikaru spoke up. Instantly Nezuko was on her feet, growing to her normal size and going over and pulling on Akaza's arm. She was more than ready to learn how to fight so that she could protect her brother and Hikaru.

'I wonder... Was there ever someone that dragged me along like this?' Akaza thought before throwing that thought out. He didn't know what this place was doing to him but he didn't like it at all. If anyone was paying attention they would have seen the blue stripes on Akaza's skin dim in color. Tamayo and Yushiro decided to follow the other two demons to watch over the fight and make sure that Nezuko didn't get hurt by Akaza who just scoffed. Like he would hurt a woman, he wasn't Douma. It didn't take long for Ubuyashiki to choose who would train with who and they separated. Hikaru and Inosuke were training together with Hikaru keeping the more energetic and wild male calm enough for him to keep learning total concentration breathing constant as well as how to fight more defensively. Hikaru on the other hand was getting put through his paces and made to fight front on more. Rengoku was paired with Sanemi and both of them were strength fighters but Rengoku had more experience with a sword since he had been training since he was young and Sanemi trust his instincts more than Rengoku, tending to use anything and everything around him to defeat demons so they both had things to learn. Uzui was grinning happily when he was paired with Giyuu, both because he wanted to get to know the other man better and because they could learn a lot from each other. Giyuu would be learning how to use other weapons such as kunai, poisons and how to sync up different attacks easier. Uzui on the other hand was eager to learn some more defensive maneuvers since his own breathing style took a bit of fighting before he could complete a demon's score so he needed to be able to stay alive long enough for that to happen. It also gave them the opportunity to fight back to back since they would be on a mission together in the future against Daki. Shinobu and Genya were paired together which made the younger male blush bright red and be barely able to string a sentence together but Shinobu was patient and waited for him. She also taught him about some poisons he would be able to use on his blade since they didn't require a color changing blade to use. Genya on the other hand managed to start to teach her some exercises that she could use to strengthen herself without building too much muscle since her fighting style required speed. Zenitsu and Kanao were training together and Zenitsu blushed for the first minute before Kanao basically pounded him into the ground making him wail and cry before focusing on training. Zenitsu was teaching her how to be faster since that was the only thing he thought he could teach her while Kanao was helping him with his total concentration breathing constant and the fighting since she had more experience. Mucihirou and Obanai were paired against each other and both Hashiras glanced at each other before sighing. They were both more silent but they wouldn't disobey orders so Obanai began to teach Muichirou some more ways to dodge and work around obstacles while Muchirou helped Obanai train his endurance and how to seemingly disappear but not actually disappear. The final training pair was Kanroji and Tanjiro, Kanroji was teaching Tanjiro about flexibility and the best way to use the strength that he has while Tanjiro wasn't sure what he could teach her but decided in the end to help her learn some more defensive moves. He was also helping her to follow her instincts more, or well sense of smell for him but since she didn't have such a good sense of smell it had to be her instincts that he helped her with. Now if Obanai would stop glaring at him, he'd be happy. Ubuyashiki watched all of the train and even glanced at Akaza who was putting Nezuko through the easiest self-defense maneuvers and felt the hope in his heart growing more and more. He was sure that this would be the generation that would defeat Kibutsuji Muzan and finally put an end to the demons. Though he wasn't sure what that would mean for Nezuko, Yushiro and Tamayo, he knew that Kibutsuji needed to be stopped, once and for all. When he noticed that Himejima wasn't training he turned to the oldest of the Hashira.
