The wind hashira, Sanemi, runs through the fortress "Tch, that stupid kamado" he mumbles to himself before jumping over something, he saw it, he finally discovered what allowed those soldiers to be controlled by that little puppet master. Its feint but, there is a demon presence on the floor, he approaches it and stabs the ground.  


And the black puddle was revealed, it acts as like a bear trap, only if you step on it, she can control you with her strings. "Heh... I've got you figured out now now come out and fight me you little-" before he could finish he spots a giant doll charging towards him, he avoids it and stumbles into a unique room, the room was full of beds, toys, and what seemed to be the bedroom of an orphanage, the shelves were filled with dolls.  


He hears giggling and draws his sword "I know your here!" Just then she appears "Oh... Do you not want to talk a little more?" She said while sitting on a ledge with her legs crossed and her little doll version of her next to her , 'uppermoon 5 huh, I remember you all too well' "I know your tricks now! So come down and fight me! ROUND TWO!" But she only  giggles and that's when the same huge doll appears, avoiding its attack, another emerges. 


Soon more and more of the dolls emerged "Oh I'm gonna slaughter the living life out of you all" Sanemi said with a huge grin "Breath of wind, Seventh Form: Gale, Sudden Gusts" The wind hashira leaps into the air and swings their blade which generates circular torrents of wind that slices up the opponent instantly. All the huge dolls soon turn to ash. 


But then black puddles were seen where the dolls died, and then, the same arms emerged. These arms weren't new to Sanemi, but the effect that the dolls left was surprising, 'Is this their true strength' He jumed out of the area but he sees the arms stretch, they can stretch to an endless length. So he can only do one thing to ensure they don't come back, he jumps back to the center where he should've been surrounded by the arms "Breath of wind, Fifth Form: Cold Mountain Wind" Sanemi creates several circular arched slashes that increase in size from above their target. 


The arms get chopped off and turn to ash, but the puddles still remain and the arms still emerge "What kind of BS is this?!" he jumps away but the arms still chasing him "Breath of wind, Second Form: Claws-Purifying Wind" The user lifts the sword upwards towards the right, above their head and unleashes four vertical slashes at once down on the enemy resembling claws. 


This destroys the arms but more emerges, then more of the huge dolls appear, he immediately avoids them. He cannot risk killing them or more of those stupid arms will appear, there is only one way to make this fight end, he looks back up at the uppermoon who was just giggling. And just playing with her doll, Sanemi grew a giant tick mark and was freakishly annoyed. "I'm gonna make it so you wish you were never born ya little freak!"   


Then the arms had reached him, they surround him and start scratching or beating him, trying to take his limbs apart.  The dolls stop and watch the arms that are now in a pile and attacking Sanemi who couldn't be seen. Uppermoon 5, or better known as Kuni just smiles at the sight, she smiles at the sight of the fallen hashira, but just then. 


"Breath of wind, Third Form: Clean Storm Wind Tree" The wind hashira unleashes a whirlwind of slashes around their body that can defend them from incoming attacks and slice up their surroundings. The arms were obliterated, and a bruised and slightly wounded Sanemi could be seen panting. 'Impossible!' Kuni thought 'Is this what the lord meant? Oh no. If I don't kill him now, I'll be done for!' She began slight sweating.
