Hey Everybody and welcome to chapter two. I said I would continue this story if I saw people liked and and wow 50 Favorites in 24 Hours so I started work on chapter 2 and surprisingly got it done within 6 hours. So onto the Reviews to start off Sasuke I am kinda on the fence about bringing him in cause like Naruto he would be way too overpowered for Demons. As to Naruto's Strength, well I stated he got transported into the Word of Demon Slayer after the 4th Great Shinobi War so I'd put him around the strength he was at During The LAST: Naruto the movie. So Yeah. With that being said ONTO THE CHAPTER.

*Disclaimer* I do not own either Demon Slayer or Naruto. Demon Slayer Belongs to Koyoharu Gotouge and Naruto is owned by Masashi Kishimoto. Please Support the Official release

Demon Slaying Shinobi

Chapter Two: The Nine-Tailed Fox

"Naruto-kun," Tamayo said with a hint of a small smile on her face as she gazed at the shinobi, with Yushiro flanking her, scanning for any danger.

"It's good to see you again," Naruto said, returning the smile that was given.

Tamayo's eyes softened as she took in Naruto's familiar presence. "How have you been?" she asked, her voice gentle and sincere.

Naruto's smile widened, and he nodded. "I've been good, Lady Tamayo. Just trying to make a difference. What about you two? Everything alright?"

"We have been fine," Yushiro simply stated, his eyes still vigilant. Tamayo looked at Naruto with concern.

"Have you been eating well?" Tamayo asked in an almost motherly tone toward the blond.

"As much as I can," Naruto answered with a chuckle, scratching the back of his head.

Tamayo's smile grew warmer. "You must take care of yourself, Naruto-kun. Your health is just as important as your strength."

Naruto nodded earnestly. "I will, Lady Tamayo. Thank you for your concern. But I have made a discovery Muz-"

A piercing scream echoed out interrupting Naruto causing the Trio to run to find out what was going on.

A piercing scream echoed through the bustling streets of Asakusa as a woman cried out in terror.

"Ahhh!"

A crowd quickly gathered around, their voices filled with confusion and fear.

"What's this?"

"What's going on?"

"I-Is that blood?"

In the center of the commotion, a man growled menacingly, his eyes wild and feral.

"Grr… Urahhh!"

"Ahh!" the woman screamed again.

"Stop it!" Tanjiro shouted, charging forward. He tackled the man away from the woman and quickly shoved his cloth-wrapped fist into the man's mouth to prevent him from biting anyone else.

"Dear!" the woman cried out.

"Ma'am! You need to worry about yourself!" Tanjiro urged, his voice firm but gentle. "Please take a cloth and press down hard on the wound!"

The man thrashed and growled, trying to break free. "Urahhh!" he roared.

Kuh… Ngh! Tanjiro held him in place with all his strength. It's all right. Somehow, it's going to turn out fine. The wife's wound isn't fatal!

Nearby, two men attempted to help the woman, but she was clearly in rough shape.

"Do it harder! Do it harder! Tie it up with a rope!" Tanjiro instructed, his voice urgent. It's going to be alright. This man hasn't killed anyone!

"Urahhh!" The man continued to struggle.

Just a second ago, this man was just walking down the street! Tanjiro thought.

Suddenly, the daughter Muzan held in his arms began to cry as Naruto, Tamayo and Yushiro showed up Naruto instantly looking toward Muzan with a glare..

"Are you alright? You mustn't look," Muzan said calmly. "It's dangerous here, Rei. Let's move over there."

Where'd he go?! Tanjiro turned to see Muzan, Rei, and the daughter walking away. "Ah…! Kuh…!"

"Urahh… Urahhh…!" the man in Tanjiro's grip continued to struggle.

Dammit…! Dammit! Tanjiro thought. I can't leave this man here! Kibutsuji Muzan! I'm not letting you get away! No matter where you go!

"What's the matter with that child? What do you think, Tsukihiko?" Rei asked.

"No matter where you go, you're not getting away! I'll follow you to the ends of Hell, and I swear I'll slice off your head with my blade! I'll never forgive you, no matter what!" Tanjiro vowed.

Several policemen arrived at the scene, their expressions stern and confused.

"What the hell are you doing?!" one of them shouted. "Is it a drunk? Kid, step away from that man!"

"I can't! Bring some restraints please! Please!" Tanjiro pleaded.

"Shut up and step away!" a policeman ordered.

One of the policemen tried to pull Tanjiro off the man, but Tanjiro didn't budge. "Please don't do that! No one can hold down this person but me!"

"Move!" the policeman insisted.

"Please don't do that!" Tanjiro begged.

"Ah… Just look at this guy's face! Has he lost his mind? Pull the kid off him!" another policeman shouted.

"Please stop! I don't want this person to kill anyone!" Tanjiro cried out.

"Lady Tamayo, I will leave him to you." Naruto said as he began to go after Muzan.

"What about you?" Tamayo asked, knowing what Naruto was up to.

"I'll be fine, just help the kid." Naruto said as he disappeared into a crowd.

"That boy." Tamayo said with a sigh as she reached out revealing scratched deep wounds along her arm. "Enchanting Blood. Aroma of Visual Fantasy."

What's this scent? Tanjiro thought as the air filled with the aroma of flowers. The policeman about to hit Tanjiro was suddenly surrounded by an array of flower patterns in the air.

"Woah! What are all these patterns?" the policemen exclaimed. "Ah!"

The patterns knocked the policemen away, leaving them disoriented and confused.

Is this some kind of attack? If it is, that means trouble! Is the scent growing stronger? Tanjiro wondered as Tamayo and Yushiro approached him.

"You still use… the term 'person'… to refer to even a transformed demon. And you're trying to save him. Allow me, then, to lend you a hand," the woman said.

"But why? You… Your scent tells me…" Tanjiro began.

"That's right. I am… a demon, but I am also a doctor, and I wish to annihilate that man, Kibutsuji," the woman revealed.

Muzan looked down at his daughter, who gazed up at him with wide, innocent eyes.

"Aren't you coming, Daddy?" she asked, her small hand clutching the edge of his coat.

Muzan smiled, though it didn't reach his eyes. "Daddy has work. I have a business meeting to attend." He glanced around, a flicker of concern crossing his face. "I'm also concerned about that disturbance just now."

Rei, standing beside the car, placed a gentle hand on his arm. "Dear…"

"Don't worry," Muzan said, his voice reassuring. "I'm only going to speak with the police. Now, get in."

Rei and their daughter obeyed, the car door closing with a soft click.

"Daddy, come home soon, okay?" his daughter pleaded from the backseat.

Muzan's smile softened just a bit. "All right. You be a good girl now."

He turned to the driver. "Take them back to the house. Go on."

The car drove off, and Muzan watched until it disappeared around the corner. Then, with a sigh, he turned and walked into a nearby alleyway.

As Muzan entered the dimly lit alley, three siblings stumbled through, clearly enjoying a night out.

"Big bro, let's hit up one more bar!" one of the boys said, his voice slurred.

The girl with them looked worried. "Yacchan, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine! I'm not even drunk yet—" Yacchan declared, just as he bumped into Muzan.

"What the hell, you bastard?" Yacchan snarled, glaring up at Muzan.

"Forgive me," Muzan said smoothly, attempting to walk away.

But Yacchan grabbed his shoulder. "Hey, come back here!"

Muzan turned, his expression calm but his eyes cold. "I'm very sorry, but I happen to be in a hurry, so…"

"Huh? What did you say?" Yacchan sneered, looking Muzan up and down. "Hey, look at you, decked out in those posh-looking threads! You piss me off! You and your pale face… You look like you're about to fall over dead! Hey, say something, will you? Or did you just croak?"

Without a word, Muzan raised his fist.

"Huh?" Yacchan barely had time to react before Muzan punched him. The force sent Yacchan crashing into the wall, cracking it. He slumped to the ground, leaving streaks of blood on the surface.

"Yacchan!" the girl screamed.

The other boy stepped forward, rage in his eyes. "What did you do to my kid brother?!"

"He's dead! Yacchan's not breathing!" the girl wailed.

"You bastard!" the second boy shouted, raising his fist. But Muzan moved swiftly, kicking him into the air. The boy flew above the rooftops before crashing back down, lifeless.

The girl trembled as Muzan approached her. "Eek!"

Muzan looked down at her with disdain. "Does my complexion look unhealthy to you? Is my face pale? Do I look sickly to you? Do I look like I'm not long for this world? Do I look like I'm about to die?"

He leaned closer, his voice dropping to a dangerous whisper. "Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. I'm a living being who's definitely close to perfection."

Muzan's fingernail sharpened into a deadly point. He raised it to the girl's forehead and stabbed it in. The area around the wound turned dark as he spoke.

"What do you think will happen if I keep flooding you with my blood?"

The girl's body convulsed violently.

"The human body is unable to withstand the speed of transformation," Muzan continued calmly.

He withdrew his finger, watching as her body turned purple. "...and its cells are destroyed."

With a final, anguished cry, the girl's body melted into a puddle of flesh.

Muzan snapped his fingers, and two demons, Susamaru and Yahaba, appeared before him.

"Bring me the head of the Demon Slayer who wears hanafuda-like earrings. Understood?"

Yahaba bowed deeply. "As you wish."

Susamaru grinned. "Your wish is our command."

The two demons vanished into the shadows, leaving Muzan alone in the alley.

He looked up at the moonlit sky, his mind already on his next move. "Those earrings…" he murmured, a dark determination settling over him.

"You are a hard man to track down, Kibutsuji Muzan," a voice called out as Muzan's eyes widened. He turned to see Naruto standing there with a dark look on his face.

"And you are?" Muzan asked, looking toward the blond as he prepared to kill him.

Naruto's eyes narrowed, his expression hardening. "I'm the one who's going to put an end to your reign of terror," he replied, his voice filled with determination. "After you tell me where that Biwa demon is so I can go home."

"Go? Home? What do you mean by that?" Muzan asked, now slightly intrigued as the pair squared off.

The chef was yelling at Tanjiro, frustration evident in his voice.

"Now, listen to me! Here's the deal… My point is this, okay? It's not about the money! What I can't forgive is your lack of intent to eat my udon, all right?!"

Tanjiro bowed deeply, regret clear on his face. "I'm so sorry! Please serve me another bowl!"

"So you're gonna eat it?!" the chef demanded.

"Yes!" Tanjiro replied, determination in his voice.

"You're definitely gonna eat it?" the chef pressed.

"Yes, I shall!" Tanjiro affirmed.

"Okay!" the chef relented, his stern expression softening slightly. "You, too! If you're gonna have udon, take off that bamboo thingy first! What is that thing anyway?! Take these chopsticks! Chopsticks!"

Tanjiro quickly grabbed the chopsticks from the chef's hand. "I'd like a bowl of udon! I'd like two bowls of udon!"

The chef, slightly taken aback, nodded. "R-Right…"

He prepared two bowls of udon, and Tanjiro ate them both rapidly, savoring each bite. When he was done, he looked up at the chef with gratitude.

"Thank you very much for the meal! That was delicious!" Tanjiro exclaimed.

The chef's face broke into a smile. "As long as you get it! It's all good! Thanks for your business!"

Tanjiro and Nezuko left the cart, Tanjiro glancing apologetically at his sister. "Sorry about that, Nezuko. Leaving you behind like that…"

Nezuko made a soft sound in response. "Ngh…"

As they walked, Nezuko suddenly stopped in her tracks and glared at something ahead.

"Woah… What's wrong, Nezuko?" Tanjiro asked, following her gaze.

Ahead of them, standing near a tree, was Yushirou.

"So you've been waiting for us?" Tanjiro asked, his tone cautious.

"Because I was told to bring you to see her," Yushirou replied.

"I could've tracked you by scent," Tanjiro said, frowning slightly.

"She's in a place that's under a cloaking spell. No way you could find it," Yushirou explained.

"Cloaking?" Tanjiro echoed, curious.

Yushirou then pointed at Nezuko. "Anyway… isn't that woman a demon? And an eyesore to boot."

Tanjiro's thoughts raced. Eyesore? Eyesore? Does he mean "ugly"? Who? Nezuko?! Who in their right mind would call her an eyesore?! Just take a good look at her features! She was the beauty of our hometown! Our Nezuko!

Yushirou turned and began leading them. "Let's go."

"Sure, we'll go, but still! No way is she an eyesore! Not on your life! Take a look at her where there's a bit more light! Come on, let's go over there!" Tanjiro insisted, his protective instincts flaring as he followed Yushirou with Nezuko by his side.

"Again, I ask you, what do you mean by 'going home'?" Muzan demanded, his voice dripping with menace as he glared at Naruto, who met his gaze with equal intensity.

"Sorry, but I'll only answer if you tell me where that Biwa Demon is," Naruto shot back, his voice steady and unyielding.

Biwa Demon? Muzan's thoughts raced, but he had no time to dwell on them as he was suddenly slammed by incoming Rasengan causing him to fly into the wall. "Nakime!" Muzan bellowed as he started to regenerate slower than he normally does. What? Why am I regenerating slower than normal?

In an instant, the familiar sound of a biwa being strummed echoed through the air. Before Naruto could react, Muzan vanished into thin air.

Naruto clenched his fists, frustration bubbling inside him. "Damn it," he muttered under his breath. He scanned the surroundings, his senses heightened, but Muzan was nowhere to be seen.

"Heh, looks like he escaped us. This time," Kurama's voice rumbled in Naruto's mind as he clenched his bandaged fist. The nine-tailed fox's presence was a reassuring force, but it did little to quell Naruto's frustration.

"We'll find him," Naruto responded internally, his determination unwavering. "And when we do, we'll make sure he has nowhere to run."

"In the meantime, we should meet up with Tanjiro before that Yushiro brat gets him to Tamayo's place," Kurama suggested, causing Naruto to sigh.

"Yeah, you're right," Naruto conceded. "Let's get moving. We don't have time to waste."

Tanjiro looked around, eyes wide with curiosity. "Oh, I know what it is! It's this muzzle, right?! It might be because of this muzzle! I'd like you to behold Nezuko without the muzzle!"

Yushiro ignored Tanjiro's excitement and walked into the wall, disappearing as if he had never been there.

"Huh?!" Tanjiro exclaimed, bewildered.

Yushiro's head poked out of the wall. "Hurry it up. While no one's around."

Tentatively, Tanjiro pushed his hand into the wall, watching it go through. "Oh!" he gasped, and soon both he and Nezuko landed on the other side of the wall, revealing a large house with a paper bearing red patterns on the wall.

"Ah…! There's a house behind the dead end!" Tanjiro marveled.

"Get over here!" Yushiro called out. "Listen. Make sure you don't offend that person in any way. Personally, I couldn't care less what happens to you. But I brought you here because she insisted!"

"R-Right…" Tanjiro replied nervously.

"Yo." A voice called out causing both Yushiro and Tanjiro to look in shock as Naruto stood there behind them.

"Ah Naruto-san." Tanjiro said with a smile. "Are you okay you were gone a long time?"

Naruto smiled slightly at the question. "Yeah I'm fine Dattebayo."

Dattebayo? Both Tanjiro and Yushiro thought at the same time.

"Anyway Yushiro, let's not keep Lady Tamayo waiting eh." Naruto said as Yushiro nodded and led them into the house, knocking on a door.

"Come in," a calm voice responded.

Yushiro, Tanjiro, Naruto and Nezuko entered the room. Tamayo sat on a chair next to the woman who had been attacked earlier, now lying in a bed.

"I have returned," Yushiro announced.

"Welcome back," Tamayo replied warmly.

Tanjiro bowed slightly. "I'm sorry that I left you to take care of things just now. How is the lady?"

"She'll be just fine. Unfortunately, I have to keep her husband restrained in the basement," Tamayo explained.

"Isn't treating human wounds unbearable for you?" Tanjiro asked, concerned.

Without warning, Yushiro punched Tanjiro in the chest. "Urk!"

"You think demons treat humans while choking back their own drool at the smell of blood?" Yushiro retorted.

"Sorry," Tanjiro muttered.

"Stop it. Why would you resort to violence?" Tamayo scolded.

"Ah…" Yushiro replied sheepishly.

"I never introduced myself, did I? My name is Tamayo. That boy is Yushiro. I hope that you'll be his friend," Tamayo said with a gentle smile.

"Ah…" Tanjiro hesitated.

"Kuh…!" Yushiro grumbled.

I don't think that's gonna happen! Tanjiro thought.

"It's not that unbearable, you know," Tamayo continued.

"Ah…" Tanjiro responded, still in awe.

"I believe it's much easier for me than for normal demons. Because I've tweaked my body considerably. I've also removed Kibutsuji's curse," Tamayo revealed.

"Curse? T-Tweaked your body?" Tanjiro stammered.

"Come this way," Tamayo instructed, taking off her doctor's coat and leading them to a tatami room. Nezuko immediately lay down.

"Hey, Nezuko, that's bad manners!" Tanjiro admonished.

"That's quite all right. Please make yourselves at home," Tamayo assured.

"Sorry," Tanjiro apologized.

"Now then, allow me to continue. I adjusted our bodies so that we can live without devouring humans. A small amount of human blood is all we need," Tamayo explained.

"Blood? You mean…" Tanjiro began.

"You may find it distasteful, but what I do is buy blood under the guise of transfusions from those unable to make ends meet. Of course, no more than would impair them," Tamayo clarified.

I see. So that's why I'm not picking up that strange scent unique to demons from these two. But they do need human blood after all. If blood is all they need, then Nezuko… Tanjiro thought, his mind racing.

"Yushiro can get by with even less blood. I'm the one who turned him into a demon," Tamayo continued.

"Huh? You did that? But… Huh?" Tanjiro was confused.

"You're right. It's generally held that no one but Kibutsuji can reproduce demons. That's more or less accurate. After more than 200 years, I was only able to transform Yushiro into a demon after all," Tamayo explained further.

"Two… Two hundred years… You were only able to transform Yushiro after more than two hundred years?! Exactly how old are you, Miss Tamayo?!" Tanjiro asked, incredulous.

Yushiro punched Tanjiro again. "Gah!"

"Don't ask a lady her age, you ill-mannered scoundrel!" Yushiro scolded.

"Ahhh!" Tanjiro yelped.

"Yushiro! The next time you hit that boy, I'll make you regret it!" Tamayo threatened.

"Yes, ma'am!" Yushiro replied quickly. She's beautiful even when she's angry!

"There's one thing I'd like to clear up with you. I'm not trying to create more demons. I only perform the procedure on the terminally ill or those so gravely injured that they don't have long left to live. And in those cases, I always ask them beforehand if they wish to live on even as demons," Tamayo stated firmly.

Tanjiro took a sniff of the air. The scent she's giving off is pure and devoid of deception. She's someone I can trust. He looked at her, hope in his eyes. "Miss Tamayo, is there a way to return a transformed demon back to human form?"

Going right to it isn't he. Naruto thought with a sweat drop as he just listened, but tilted his head as he felt 2 enormous amounts of murderous intent approach. Demons…

"It's weird that the brat can't smell them." Kurama stated while Naruto continued to listen to Tamayo explaining things to Tanjiro.

Yeah, it is, Naruto thought back. But I guess he's just too focused right now.

Kurama growled softly. "Stay alert, Naruto. These demons are strong. We can't afford any mistakes."

I know. I'll keep an eye on them, Naruto replied.

"See anything?" Susamaru asked, her voice tinged with excitement.

Yahaba's eyes glowed as he scrutinized the ground. "I can see. I can see footprints. This is it. This is it." He pointed his hand forward, and footprints became visible. "Make a huge turn over there. There are three of them. And one's carrying some kind of big box."

"How should we kill them, I wonder," Susamaru mused, her voice lilting with anticipation. "Fufufu… I can feel the flow of power. Because of all the blood he shared with me."

"Of course, we're going to slay them vindictively," Yahaba declared.

"There is a way to turn a demon… back into a human," Tamayo said softly.

"Ah… Please tell me how!" Tanjiro leaned forward, his eyes wide with hope.

"Don't you dare get so close to Lady Tamayo!" Yushiro snapped, flipping Tanjiro over onto the floor.

"Gahh!" Tanjiro grunted as he hit the ground.

"Yushiro…" Tamayo's voice was calm but firm.

"Ah! Yes, ma'am! I only threw him, Lady Tamayo. I did not hit him."

"You mustn't do either."

"Yes, ma'am!"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch… Please tell me how," Tanjiro pleaded, sitting up.

"For any kind of wound, there's always some kind of medicine or treatment. At this time, I'm unable to turn a demon back into a human, but surely, that, too…" Tamayo began.

"Ah…" Tanjiro's hope wavered.

"However, we are dedicated to establishing such a method of treatment. Toward that end, I'd like to ask you to do something for me. To produce such an elixir, it is necessary to study the blood of numerous demons."

Tamayo continued, "I have two favors to ask you. One, permission to study your sister's blood. Two, to retrieve blood samples from demons as closely related to Kibutsuji as possible. Nezuko's current condition is extremely rare and unique. I understand that she was asleep for two straight years, and I believe that her body underwent changes during that time. Normally, any demon who went that long without consuming flesh or blood of a human or beast would unquestionably go berserk."

Yushiro's thoughts were elsewhere. Lady Tamayo is beautiful today, too! I'm sure she'll be beautiful again tomorrow!

"And yet, surprisingly, Nezuko shows none of those signs. This miracle will be the key to finding a solution," Tamayo finished.

Nezuko… Tanjiro thought, placing his hand on Nezuko's forehead. She nuzzled into his hand, making a soft sound.

"The other request I have for you is a harsh one. By 'demons closely related to Kibutsuji', I mean demons whose powers are more on par with that of Kibutsuji himself. It won't be easy to extract blood from such demons. Are you still willing to go along with my requests?" Tamayo asked, her gaze steady.

"If there's no other way, then I'll do it. If it means you're going to research all these demons' blood and create this medicine… If that happens, that means it won't just be Nezuko. Lots of other people will be saved, too, right?" Tanjiro responded, determined in his voice.

"Ah… That's right," Tamayo said, smiling gently at Tanjiro, who blushed in response.

"Ah…" Tanjiro stammered.

"Kuh…!" Yushiro grumbled.

"Erk!" Tanjiro yelped.

Suddenly, a ball ripped through the patterned paper on the wall. "Ah… Get down!" Yushiro shouted as the ball bounced furiously around the room. He shielded Tamayo while Tanjiro protected Nezuko. The balls flew back toward Susamaru, who stood in the garden with Yahaba.

"Hahaha!" Susamaru laughed.

"Fufufu… Did you decide how to kill them?" Yahaba asked.

"Vindictively, of course!" Susamaru replied, throwing her balls back into the house. "Hehehe!"

"Hah…" Yahaba smirked.

"Kuh…!" Yushiro growled.

"Kuh!" Tanjiro echoed, ready to fight.

Naruto, sensing the imminent danger, burst into the tatami room just as Susamaru's balls crashed through the walls again. "Watch out!" he yelled, creating shadow clones to shield everyone.

The clones intercepted the balls, dispelling them with precise strikes. His eyes narrowed at Susamaru and Yahaba in the garden.

Susamaru's eyes widened with surprise. "Who's this guy?"

"Doesn't matter," Yahaba sneered. "He's just another victim."

Naruto's clones vanished as he stepped forward, his expression determined. "You two picked the wrong place to attack. Tanjiro, you take care of Nezuko and Lady Tamayo. I'll handle these guys."

Tanjiro nodded, moving to protect his sister and their hosts. "Be careful, Naruto-san."

"Always," Naruto replied, his voice steady.

Yahaba sneered, his eyes filled with malevolent intent. "It's about time for you to die!"

With a swift motion, Yahaba sent several attacks toward Naruto, his directional arrows aiming to pierce him from all sides. Naruto dodged them effortlessly, his movements fluid and precise. He charged toward Yahaba, determination blazing in his eyes.

"Urahhh!" Naruto shouted, closing the distance between them.

Weak! Naruto thought, his mind racing with battle tactics. Flying Raijin…

Naruto weaved through Yahaba's attacks, his body moving like a yellow flash. Yahaba grunted, frustration evident on his face. "Ngh… Ugh!" he exclaimed, sending more arrows flying toward Naruto.

With a powerful leap, Naruto spun in mid-air, his chakra-infused blade slicing through Yahaba's attacks. The force of his move was unstoppable, and Yahaba's eyes widened in shock as Naruto's blade closed in.

"Rasengan!" Naruto yelled, combining his technique with the raw power of the Rasengan.

The swirling energy of the Rasengan hit Yahaba with full force, beheading him in an instant. Yahaba's body collapsed, lifeless. "Gah…" was all he could utter before darkness consumed him.

Naruto took a deep breath and looked down at the Fallen Demon. This guy is still alive…

Yahaba's eyes flickered with rage. "Ngh…! Curse you! Curse you! Curse you! All I had to do was bring back your head, and I would've won his approval! I'll never forgive you! I'll never forgive you! Shoving my face into this vile dirt! You're going down with me!" Yahaba's hands moved in a final act of defiance, sending several arrows shooting toward Naruto.

"Ah…!" Naruto cried out as the arrows pierced him.

The Hell?! Naruto thought, the force of the arrows sending him flying.

"Ah!" he shouted as he was propelled backward.

I'm getting pulled by a force stronger than the arrows he's hit me with! This is the first time a Demon has put me on the defensive, like this. I guess We got to Sync up Kurama.

"Ah, let's teach this brat what real power feels like." Kurama said with an evil smirk.

Suddenly Naruto lit up in a golden form Blinding Yahaba

"It's time to end this," Naruto muttered.

Yahaba's remains twitched on the ground. With Kurama's chakra enhancing him, Naruto's senses picked up Yahaba's lingering presence. "Not so fast," Naruto growled. He gathered Kurama's chakra into his hand, forming a massive Rasengan.

"Take this! Rasengan!" Naruto slammed the Rasengan down, obliterating the remnants of Yahaba in an instant.

Turning his attention to Susamaru, who was kicking temari balls at Tanjiro and Nezuko, the pair barely hanging on. He didn't waste any time. Drawing upon the power of Sage Mode, he combined it with Kurama's chakra, forming a Sage-Powered Rasengan.

"This ends now!" Naruto shouted, dashing towards Susamaru with incredible speed.

Susamaru, barely had time to react. Naruto thrust the Sage-Powered Rasengan into her chest, the energy exploding outwards with a devastating force.

Susamaru's eyes widened in shock and pain as the Rasengan tore through her, disintegrating her body into nothingness. "Ah…!" was all she could manage before she was completely obliterated.

Naruto stood there, triumphant. The chakra cloak faded, and his eyes returned to normal. He turned back to the house, where Tamayo, Yushiro, and Nezuko watched in awe.

"Are you all okay?" Naruto asked, his voice steady but concerned as Tanjiro stepped forward with his sword drawn.

Tanjiro's eyes were wide with a mix of amazement and suspicion. "What...what did you just do?" he asked, his grip tightening on his sword. "How were you able to destroy those demons so easily?"

Naruto hesitated for a moment. He was aware of the complexities and responsibilities that came with harboring a powerful entity like Kurama inside him. Revealing such secrets was not just about disclosing his abilities; it could also instill unnecessary fear or concern in those unfamiliar with such extraordinary concepts.

Naruto chose to answer more cautiously. "The strength I used against those demons is derived from a special type of energy training coupled with a strong personal resolve," he explained deliberately, sidestepping any mention of Kurama. "It's something I've cultivated through intense, dedicated training. Though it might appear similar to your breathing techniques, it's quite different in its nature and origin."

Continuing, he highlighted the training's importance, "Like your water breathing techniques, I've had to master a unique form of chakra control. It requires discipline, intense focus, and a deep connection to my inner strength."

Tanjiro nodded, taking in the explanation. Chakra Control? I really don't get it but Naruto-San seems like a good person.

"Heh I wonder how the Demon Slayer Corp would react if they found out you housed a Demon inside you eh, Naruto." Kurama said within Naruto's mind.

Naruto's gaze sharpened for a moment, a quick flash of thought crossing his features as he mulled over Kurama's sarcastic remark. In the quiet dialogue within his mind, Naruto recognized the irony. "Yeah, they probably wouldn't handle it well," he thought to himself, aware of the fear and suspicion that demons typically stirred among the Demon Slayers.

Kurama's chuckle echoed in his mind, a deep, resonant sound that only Naruto could hear. "It's interesting to see the different worlds we come from, isn't it? They're out there fighting demons every day, and here you are, having one as your closest ally."

Just then, a small fox appeared and approached Naruto, carrying what looked like a parchment on its back. Surprised by the unexpected visitor, Naruto knelt down for a better look. The fox bore a small, ornate parchment tied with a red ribbon. Carefully, Naruto untied the ribbon and unrolled the parchment.

"Naruto-san is everything okay?" Tanjiro asked, looking at Naruto as he gained a hard look on his face.

"Yeah, listen Tanjiro I have to leave for a while, try to stay safe till then." Naruto said as he began to walk away not before stopping in front of Tamayo.

"Naruto-kun, please be careful." Tamayo asked, looking at the man she would almost consider the closest thing she has to a son.

Naruto gave Tamayo a reassuring smile, his usual confidence shining through despite the seriousness of the situation. "Don't worry, Lady Tamayo. I will," He then turned to Tanjiro, who was watching him with a mix of concern and determination. "Take care Tanjiro." Naruto said, giving Tanjiro a firm pat on the shoulder.

Tanjiro nodded resolutely. "You can count on me, Naruto-san. Just be safe."

Naruto then took a deep breath, steeling himself for whatever lay ahead, and began to walk away, the parchment securely in his hand.

That Bastard can't be here and if he has been turned into a demon. Then I need to be the one to stop him here and now. Naruto thought to himself as he jumped from tree to tree, his eyes narrowing as the parchment drifted slowly to the ground with an Image of a white and red fan on it while fire consumed it.

"So the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is here?" A voice broke the silence at the temple ruins, his words echoing against the ancient stones. He stepped forward from the shadows, alone, with only the moonlight cutting through the darkness to keep him company.

He paused, surveying the empty temple, his amusement evident even in the stillness. "Seems he has grown stronger since we last fought." His chuckle, deep and devoid of warmth, lingered in the air.

The Man tilted his head, letting the moonlight illuminate his features. His eyes, now a glowing crimson, were dramatically different—unnaturally so. "The transformation is complete," he murmured, a smirk curling his lips. "I am no longer just Uchiha Madara. I have become something much more... demonic. Come Uzumaki Naruto let us see how well you can dance now?"

Duh Duh Dunnnnnn. Yeah So I want Naruto to have that big battle to separate him from Tanjiro so Kid can level up. And the reason I chose Madara, it honestly made sense to pull the kinda big bad that turned his life into what it is, And I did not want to pull the Otosuki cause again way too overpowered for the World of Demon Slayer so I figured hey why not. With that being said, I hope you all enjoyed the chapter and see you in the next one. *Edit* Yeah after reading a review with how fast Naruto is at this point Muzan would not be able to dodge so changed it up.
