Not long after, the authorities finally arrived. Several medical examiners, like coroners, put the Balding Boss into a bag and took him away. A few other police officers questioned the people around.
Soon after, he was transported to the morgue... The lights came on, and the Balding Boss was placed on an autopsy table. It was just a formality, as there were many witnesses, so the coroner didn't need to bother too much with checking the cause of death.
"How tragic, this person..." A bespectacled coroner, holding a knife, casually inspected him.
"No need to check. The cause of death was decapitation from the front... This head..."
Just as the coroner touched the head, the eyes on the head suddenly moved, turning to look at the coroner.
"Ah ah ah... A monster!?" The coroner, or rather, the medical examiner, was so terrified by this horrifying scene that he wet his pants. Having been a coroner his entire life, he had never seen anything so terrifying.
The head suddenly opened its mouth, and a black shadow shot out from within, quickly pouncing towards the coroner's face.
The coroner was scared stiff and didn't know how to dodge. Besides, he was just an ordinary person and couldn't dodge something so fast.
Swoosh—
Just then, a kunai flew rapidly from a corner, narrowly grazing the coroner's face, hitting the black shadow dead center, and pinning it firmly to the wall.
"So that's it, your Blood Demon Art is parasitism..."
A figure slowly walked out from the corner. Under the dim light, a pair of red eyes glowed exceptionally bright. It was the stealthy Uchiha Nagi.
He couldn't understand it, but that didn't mean he would just leave. A Ninja's standard operation is to make a surprise attack, and typically, to ensure nothing is missed, many Ninja will quietly lurk after a battle to see if the enemy has any hidden companions.
"Let me go, let me go! The Buddha will not forgive you~~" A lump of flesh, only the size of a fist, struggled desperately.
This was the true form of the Balding Boss, or rather, it was a parasitic demon itself. The boss it parasitized was human, which is why it wasn't afraid of sunlight.
Because the sunlight couldn't reach its true form, and the outer body was not only human but also alive. Its brain had long been eaten by it and replaced, becoming merely a puppet.
However, this kind of flesh puppet couldn't be maintained for long before it would rot, so it would change bodies periodically.
"No wonder even Giyu Tomioka couldn't find you. Your ability is so unique, hehe..." Uchiha Nagi chuckled and walked over.
It was pitifully weak, but once it parasitized a powerful body, it would be different. However, the Upper Ranks weren't afraid of its parasitism. If it dared to parasitize Akaza or others, Akaza would probably just smash his own head to remove it.
Parasitizing humans, it couldn't find Pillar-level strong individuals... "No wonder Muzan, who yearns for sunlight, didn't value you. Your ability is quite useless. I believe you mixed your blood into the ramen, which is why Heiji couldn't move after eating it, right?"
Uchiha Nagi took out a scroll, along with several talismans and bandages with sealing effects, similar to what the Allied Forces used to seal the Edo Tensei army during the Shinobi World War.
Even for this demon with only parasitic abilities, he couldn't be careless. It was safer to seal it and take it away.
As for why he didn't just kill it with a nichirin blade, of course, it was to capture it and use it as experimental material... "The Buddha will punish you... will punish you..." The meatball, or rather, the octopus monster, just muttered to itself.
"Why, why can't I sense you? You're like you appeared out of thin air..."
"Sorry, although I know the answer, I won't tell you, hehe..." Uchiha Nagi said with a smile, then proceeded to seal it, put it into a scroll, and take it away.
The answer? Of course, it was because Uchiha Nagi wasn't from this world, so the other party's ability to foresee impending disaster naturally couldn't foresee him... Before leaving, Uchiha Nagi looked up and used his Sharingan to gaze at the terrified coroner, giving him a hypnotic suggestion. It must be said, the Sharingan is sometimes truly convenient...
Back in the ramen shop's kitchen, Heiji, who couldn't move, had already been healed by Uchiha Nagi's Shadow Clone. Actually, it was nothing much; he just cut open his blood vessels and used Medical Ninjutsu to expel the paralyzing substances from his body along with his blood.
Heiji, who had lost a lot of blood, looked foolish, staring blankly at the ceiling, feeling the sharp pain from his lower body, and wondering if he would become a eunuch in the future. He really couldn't accept the reality; it was even more painful than dying in battle.
"Hey, hey, what are you spacing out for? Bandage your wound yourself. Don't let it get wet during this time, and don't look at pretty women..." Uchiha Nagi said with a look of disdain, tossing him a bottle of medicine and bandages.
"Ah?!" Heiji looked puzzled.
"Ah what? It's just a layer of skin that was cut. Your 'little brother' will develop healthier if it's exposed. Don't you guys have circumcision here?" Uchiha Nagi finished speaking and casually threw him a pair of pants he had stolen on the way.
"Ah? Skin? I'm not a eunuch?" Heiji sat up excitedly, lifting his clothes to look between his legs.
"Ah ah, hahaha, it's still there, it's still there, Senior, this is great, my 'little brother' is still there~~"
Watching the young man gesticulate like an idiot, Uchiha Nagi decided to pretend he didn't know him...
Subsequently, Uchiha Nagi reported the matter to the Demon Slayer Corps' logistics team using his crow, stating that the situation had been resolved and informing them of the target's abilities, as well as the remaining nichirin blade fragments in the ramen shop, left behind by members it had killed previously.
By evening, the Demon Slayer Corps' logistics personnel had arrived to handle the subsequent troubles, so Uchiha Nagi didn't need to clean up.
He and Hattori Heiji, who had rendered meritorious service this time, had already boarded the train, preparing to return.
This time, Uchiha Nagi planned to go to Stone Pillar Himejima Gyomei to seek his guidance and training, and then return to the Ninja World to retrieve what originally belonged to him.
Himejima Gyomei is one of the nine Pillars who has trained his body to its strongest. He is 2.2 meters tall, a complete giant, and uses a broad axe and a flail, yet his movements are incredibly agile.
Due to his tragic past, he was very distrustful of young children, but was later enlightened by the protagonist's talk-no-jutsu...
Even more incredible is that he is blind, fighting entirely by hearing and perception, just half a step away from the Transparent World. Finally, in a life-or-death battle against Upper Rank One, after fighting with all his might and enduring the pain, he directly activated the Transparent World.
And that night, Akaza, after being decapitated, activated Destructive Kill based on his body's instincts, also just one step away.
Flame Pillar, who also comprehended and copied this battle, and Uchiha Nagi were both the same.
Sometimes, a distance of just one step requires walking over nine hundred steps to reach... "It's time to go back for a visit..."
