Chapter 29

Mount Natagumo is the twenty-ninth chapter of Koyoharu Gotōge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

Summary
After having been left behind by Tanjiro and Inosuke, Zenitsu begins to question his self worth. He sits alone in the middle of the path sulking, until his companion, Chuntaro, approaches him.

Trying to offer solace, he chirps in his bird language for Zenitsu to go accompany his friends as backup. However, Zenitsu brushes off his sparrow's warnings thinking about how relaxed he must be since it doesn't understand a thing about humanity. Chuntaro begins to peck angrily at Zenitsu's hand, causing him to lose his patience, he complains saying that Chuntaro is nothing compared to how cute Nezuko is and panics realizing that Tanjiro has taken her into the forest with him. Zenitsu gets up and dashes into the forest to save Nezuko.

Meanwhile within the mountain, Inosuke and Tanjiro have engaged in combat with their fellow demon slayers. Inosuke belittles their intelligence for attacking them until Tanjiro realizes that they are being controlled by an unseen force. Inosuke announces that he is going to "cut them up" before Tanjiro yells at him saying that they shouldn't defile their comrades' corpses. Angered by his words, Inosuke faces Tanjiro and headbutts him saying that he doesn't like to be told what to do.

In the midst of the chaos, Murata —the swordsman they discovered on the mountain—, is suddenly attacked by one of the demon slayers. The two boys rush forward to protect him and Tanjiro discovers an unsettling smell as well as threads controlling the demon slayer. He yells his discovery to the other two and tells them to quickly free the controlled swordsman from the threads.
