Currently, Y/N was on his way to Ubuyashiki mansion, with Shinobu by his side.

Shinobu: Y/N?

Y/N: Hmm?

Shinobu: Why are we going to Oyakata-sama?

Y/N: Because I have some questions that I believe he can answer.

He suddenly stops.

Shinobu: What's wrong?

Y/N: Shinobu? Do you know anything about a "Yoriichi Tsugikuni"?

Shinobu: Well, not really. Why?

Y/N: He's been coming in my dreams quite a lot recently... And, I don't know how, but I feel like they aren't dreams... It's too... Real, to be a dream... He told me that Oyakata-sama might be able to answer the questions I have.

Shinobu: Dreams...?

Y/N nods as they go to Ubuyashiki mansion.

Currently, Shinobu and Y/N were awaiting Kagaya's arrival, when they are suddenly greeted by someone else.

Amane: I'm sorry for waiting you. I am Amane Ubuyashiki, and I am to address to your requests since Oyakata-sama's health has been getting worse. I'm glad to know that you have returned to your roots and alright, Y/N.

Y/N: Yes. I apologize for my recent behavior. I wasn't properly able to deal with Kyou-nii's passing. But... Will Oyakata-sama be okay?

Amane: You have nothing to apologize for, Y/N. We all grief the loss of a loved one, sooner, or later.

Y/N: Yeah... But... There's something I wish to know, and I was told Oyakata-sama might be able to help me.

Amane: I already know what you are going to ask, Y/N. This time was to come now, or later.

Amane looks at the crow beside them.

Amane: Tell the Hashiras that an urgent Hashira meeting is to be held.

The crow nods as it goes away to relay the message.

A while later, the said people gather up and to say that they were eager to know what was the matter, would be an understatement.

Amane: Sorry for the wait. For today's Hashira meet, I, Amane Ubuyashiki will be attending instead of Kagaya Ubuyashiki. Right now, the disease affecting him has gotten worse. He sends his apologies for not being unable to attend the meeting today with you all.

Gyomei: Understood. I will pray for Oyakata-sama's flickering flame to last  a bit longer. Even if only for a day. And for you to stay strong, Amane-sama.

Amane: He would like to express his thanks to the current pillars. But for now, I'd like to address another matter at hand first.

Y/N: Here it comes...

Amane: Long ago, a man named Yoriichi Tsugikuni lived. Some of you might know him, some of you might not.

Amane: For those who don't know of this person, he was the first person ever to use a breathing style, and all the breathing styles you use, were derived from this specific one. Hinokami Kagura.

Uzui: That's...!

Amane: The breathing style Tanjiro has started to use recently. Yes. He was the only person in centuries to have not only strike, but bring Muzan to clinging onto life.

The Hashiras gasp at the feat, as Y/N tries to figure out where he was placed in all this.

Amane: To the world, Yoriichi had married a woman, Uta, who had died to a demon with her unborn child. But the truth was, Uta barely managed to survive, but died at childbirth. The existence of the child was not made public for its safety from Muzan and the demons.
