As for why Ryuji activated demonification, it wasn't because he couldn't defeat Susamaru in his normal state.
The reason why Ryuji activated demonification was simple. He wanted to fulfill Susamaru's request. Only with the support of his demonified, powerful physique could Ryuji do whatever he wanted to mock Susamaru.
Although he would enter a frenzied state after demonification, that was only the result of the demonification power being used up.
As long as Ryuji controlled it and exited this state before the demonification power was used up, he wouldn't enter a frenzied state. At most, he would just be exhausted.
Even if he went berserk, it wouldn't matter. He could just grab Susamaru and drain her blood, and everything would be fine.
After Ryuji finished speaking to Tanjiro, he used the stealth skill he had obtained after absorbing the {Water Demon}.
In an instant, Ryuji's entire body disappeared into the ground.
Seeing Ryuji disappear into the ground like the {Water Demon} he had encountered before, even though Ryuji had told Tanjiro that he had copied the {Water Demon}'s Blood Demon Art, Tanjiro was still shocked when he saw Ryuji actually use it.
Tamayo was completely baffled. Ryuji's abilities were no longer within the realm of normal humans, but he wasn't a {demon}. So, Tamayo was completely dumbfounded.
However, the more powerful Ryuji was, the more excited Tamayo became. Because then, collecting blood wouldn't be such a difficult task.
Just at that moment, Yushiro's destroyed head began to slowly grow back from the wound on his neck.
In an instant, half of Yushiro's head grew back.
Perhaps wanting to talk to Ryuji quickly, Yushiro stopped healing after half of his head grew back. Then, he said to Tamayo, "Lady Tamayo, I told you so! From the beginning, I said not to get involved with demon slayers! My illusion isn't perfect. You know that. The presence of buildings and people can be hidden, but it can't eliminate the fact that they exist! The more people there are, the more traces are exposed. It's easy for Muzan to discover this!"
"I hate people who interfere with my life with you! I can't forgive what's happening now!"
Yushiro expressed his extreme dissatisfaction with what was happening to Tamayo. In his heart, he just wanted to live carefree with Tamayo. Everything else was irrelevant.
Tamayo, hearing Yushiro's words, naturally understood his heart. What she was doing wasn't what Yushiro wanted. If it wasn't for Yushiro's feelings for her, he would have probably left her long ago.
Tamayo couldn't help but show a hint of guilt. Perhaps it was guilt for not paying attention to Yushiro's feelings for so many years.
On the other side, facing Ryuji, who had suddenly disappeared into the ground, Susamaru's six hands, which were about to throw soccer balls at him, stopped.
Suddenly losing her target, Susamaru was stunned.
After a brief moment of shock, Susamaru gave up on attacking Ryuji. Then, she threw all six cuja balls at Tanjiro.
Seeing the six soccer balls flying towards him, Tanjiro, who had already thought of a countermeasure, immediately extended his Nichirin sword towards the flying soccer balls.
"Water Breathing, Seventh Form, Water Ripple Slash - Curve!"
Tanjiro didn't make any slashing movements. Instead, at the most ingenious moment, he stabbed his Nichirin sword straight towards a point.
