Hinatsuru fired the large crossbow with kunai as arrows at Gyutaro

"Upper Six"

However Gyutaro using his Rampant Arc Rampage Blood Arts managed to defend against them and using this brief moment Tengen rushed in and cut Gyutaro's legs and with his distraction Gyutaro was hit with a kunai

 Hinatsuru: (Please work! Just for a second! That way... Someone can behead him for sure!)

Tengen stabbed forward with his left blade and Tanjiro swung at Gyutaro's neck

Back in time Tengen was at a gravesite with his wives behind him he placed a Yorshiro on the grave and prayed his wives following

"Uzui Family Grave"

Then Tengen reached down to a bottle next to him 

Tengen: If my siblings were still alive...

He poured the liquid onto the grave 

Tengen: Maybe we would've gone drinking one day. Sorry, but I still haven't managed to die yet. But I did bring some fine sake, so cut me some slack.

He finished pouring the sake on the grave and smiled

Tengen: One day, we'll all drink together over there.

Soon they all ate some lunch at the grave Tengen drank 

Tengen: Now, in their honor, dig in and be as flashy as you can!

He put some in his mouth 

Tengen: Whoa, these are tasty! Don't hold back you three.

He put more food in his mouth happily

Hinatsuru: Lord Tengen, do you... 

He stopped eating

Hinatsuru: Lord Tengen, do you still think about your deceased siblings? 

He placed his chopsticks down 

Tengen: Sure. Not a day goes by were I don't recall them. Even now, it seems just like yesterday I left my homeland with you three.

He picked his sticks back up and continued eating and his wives looked at him

Tengen: Hey, this one's tasty, too! Come on, join me!

They all picked up their chopsticks and started eating

Suma: Delicious!

Makio: Hey! Would it kill you to show some restraint?

Hinatsuru: Now, now...

Tengen was sitting back and watching 

Suma: But Lord Tengen told us to dig in! Here you go, Makio! 

She shoved it in Makio's mouth and before she could yell it hit her taste buds

Makio: Delicious.

Suma: Isn't it?

Tengen: Someday, I'm going to hell.

This instantly stopped them

Tengen: Whoops! I shouldn't have said that! I don't need another tongue-lashing from you three.

He looked to the grave

Tengen: I'm going to live the flashiest life possible. For my siblings' sake. With you three, that is.

He looked to them with a smile then the wind started blowing 

Hinatsuru: How lovely. 

Seeing a cherry blossom petal in her hair Tengen picked it out
