Chapter 84: Tokito's Family
Summer goes, autumn comes, and winter comes again.
In a few months, Ming Jing has completed many missions and has been promoted to the highest level A among the ten levels below the Demon Slayer Corps Pillars.
To become a Pillar, all he needs to do is kill a few more demons to make up to fifty, or kill a demon of the Twelve Demon Months.
But Ming Jing doesn't care about becoming a Pillar.
He cares about something else.
"It's almost winter, and there's still no news about Tanjiro's family?"
In the evening, Ming Jing sighed and frowned at the crowd on the street.
Everyone has changed into winter clothes.
However, the Kamado family lives alone in the mountains. The only other information we know is that this family makes a living by selling charcoal, but before winter, no one will buy charcoal. It is even more impossible for Tanjiro to make money by selling charcoal before that. He must be doing something else.

Although ninjas are good at collecting intelligence, this era is still a very backward society, and the ways to obtain intelligence are limited. Ming Jing almost searched the area and surrounding areas in charge of the water pillar but still couldn't find it.
Tomioka Giyuu was forced by Ming Jing to go to a farther place to perform the mission.
"Forget it, I'm lucky if I get it, and I'm dead if I lose it. No matter what, even if the Kamado family is not found, Tanjiro will eventually join the Demon Slayer Corps."
Ming Jing can only comfort himself with this.
He just completed a mission and took advantage of his free time to gather intelligence.
The town at the moment happens to be at the foot of a mountain. From time to time, mountain people in the mountains will chop wood and burn charcoal and send it to the town at the foot of the mountain for sale.
Because there are few ways of entertainment in this era, in addition to daily practice. In addition to the mission, Ming Jing's greatest enjoyment is to soak in hot springs and taste delicious food.
After all, he is a person who will not treat his taste buds and stomach badly even on the battlefield of the Ninja World War.
Just when she was about to ask a passerby about the local delicacies, Mingjing quietly found an acquaintance.
She was a very beautiful young woman, wearing a decent and elegant kimono that did not affect her movements. She had light pink eyeshadow on the corners of her eyes and long white hair combed into a married woman's hairstyle. She looked like a birch elf.
Ubuyashiki Amane, the wife of the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki Yoya, was born in a priest family.
"Senior Amane?"
Hearing Mingjing calling her, Ubuyashiki Amane turned around lightly and saw Uchiha Mingjing.
"It turned out to be you, Mingjing."
"Why is Senior Amane here too? Are you going to carry out a mission as well?"
Mingjing stared at the Nichirin Sword in Ubuyashiki Amane's hand curiously.
"No, I just found the descendant of the ancestor swordsman."
Ubuyashiki Amane shook her head.
"According to records, the name of the powerful swordsman who created the breathing method is Tsugikoku Yoshiichi. Even the Demon Slayer Corps does not have much information about him. We have only recently discovered the whereabouts of the Tsugikoku clan."
"It is said that the breathing method used by the original swordsman is completely different from our current breathing method. It is the source of all breathing methods and the most powerful breathing method, but it has been lost a long time ago. For so many years, the Demon Slayer Corps has been trying to restore this breathing method, but has never been able to find a way, so we began to look for the descendants of the original swordsman in order to obtain some relevant information."
"The descendants of the Tsugikoku clan have now evolved into the Tokito clan. Only two brothers are left to make a living by chopping wood. Although they have no inheritance of the original breathing method, I also want to try to introduce them to the Demon Slayer Corps, but unfortunately, the older brother of the two brothers is very wary of outsiders and has been unwilling to go down the mountain."
Ubuyashiki Amane's pair of cold eyes cast towards a mountain in the distance.
Mingjing followed her gaze and looked into the distance.
It was dark, and under the night sky, the mountains looked so calm and dull.
The Tokito family?
He remembered that the future Demon Slayer Corps's Cloud Pillar was called Tokito Muichiro.
"Senior Amane wanted to introduce them to the Demon Slayer Corps, because he thought that people with the same bloodline as the original swordsman would be more likely to become strong?"
Ubuyashiki Amane nodded first, then shook her head.
"I can only say that this is part of the reason. A person's talent and personality are largely affected by the innate bloodline genes. Of course, the acquired growth is also crucial, but the descendants of the strong are more likely to become strong from a probability perspective."
At this point, Ubuyashiki Amane also gave an example.
"Just like the Rengoku family, for hundreds of years, the position of Flame Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps has been held by the Rengoku family, and there has never been a vacancy in the past generations. Like Kyojuro and others, every Flame Pillar can perfectly perform the duties of a Pillar."
"As far as I know, the first group of swordsmen who mastered the breathing method are the strongest group of pillars among the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps, and the first Flame Pillar who mastered the breathing of flame is also among them."
"But in addition to these, the location where Tokito's family lives now is also very dangerous. The kind of mountain forest with few people is the most vulnerable to demon attacks, because if it is in a prosperous town, once the news spreads, it is very likely to attract the attention of the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps."
"But unfortunately, there have been many cases of human disappearances here recently. I suspect that there are demons nearby, but I have not been able to find any traces, and I have not been able to convince Tokito's family."
Ubuyashiki Amane lowered her head and sighed.
"In fact, if you ask me, it would be the same to just tie them up alive and take them down the mountain and persuade them properly."
As a ninja who values ββefficiency, especially a ninja from the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Mingjing does not agree with the procrastination of Ubuyashiki Amane.
Ubuyashiki Amane smiled slightly and did not reply.
Everyone has his own way of doing things, and in the past few months since joining the Demon Slayer Corps, Mingjing has perfectly deepened the impression of the word "ninja" on the members of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Succinct, efficient, full of execution, and with strong intelligence search and analysis capabilities and tactical formulation capabilities, and even good battlefield command capabilities - these are the skills that a qualified Konoha Jonin must have.
"Sometimes, many things don't need to be complicated. The simpler, the more effective. Things that should be solved at the moment should be solved at the moment. Otherwise, it will often lead to the consequences that you least want to see."
Mingjing thought of Hashirama Senju, the first generation of Hokage.
If the Great Pillar had joined hands with Uchiha Madara to unify the ninja world, there would be no Ninja World War later.
Establishing a unified regime can at least maintain peace for hundreds of years.
On the contrary, the current ninja world has become what Senju Hashirama least wants to see.
The Ninja World War swept across the ninja world, and the scale of the Ninja World War was getting bigger and bigger. Ten-year-old children had to hold swords and step onto the battlefield, just like Uchiha Mingjing two years ago.
