Tanjiro and Kanao's love is a slow - burning and sweet one. They first meet as comrades in the fight against demons. Tanjiro's kind heart and strong will gradually draw Kanao out of her shell. Kanao, who was initially rather reserved, starts to open up more because of Tanjiro. Their relationship develops as they face numerous challenges together, and their mutual respect and growing affection for each other are heartwarming to watch in the series.
Their relationship can be further explored by focusing on their non - verbal communication. Since Nezuko can't speak much as a demon, the looks they exchange, the way Tanjiro gently touches her head to reassure her, these small gestures can be delved into. For example, in a dangerous situation, Tanjiro's glance at Nezuko could convey a whole world of trust and protection.
A great plot idea could be that Nezuko develops a new power that only works when she and Tanjiro are in close proximity. This power could be crucial in fighting a powerful upper - rank demon. For example, she might be able to create a protective shield around them both. Another could be a fanfiction where Tanjiro and Nezuko are invited to a demon slayer gathering in a far - off land. There, they meet other slayers from different regions and learn new techniques. Along the way, they also have to deal with some demons who are trying to infiltrate the gathering.
The older characters such as Kakashi would be cautious. They would recognize Naruto but also be worried about the implications of someone from the future being in the present. They would want to know if his presence could change the future in a negative way. For example, they might fear that his actions could lead to the earlier awakening of a powerful enemy. As for the villains, they might see future Naruto as a threat and try to eliminate him as soon as possible. Orochimaru, for instance, would be very interested in Naruto's future powers and might try to capture him to study. And the new generation of ninja in the past would look up to future Naruto, seeing him as a symbol of what they could become.
The Hashiras would likely show concern. Some, like Shinobu, would immediately start looking into possible medical solutions. Giyuu might be more reserved in his worry but would still keep a close eye on Tanjiro. The other demon slayers would also be affected. They look up to Tanjiro, so his sickness would lower the morale of the group. They would try to support each other while waiting for Tanjiro to recover.
