The Death Of Kibutsuji Muzan!

Everyone: 'WHAT THE FUC-'

----------(Scene Break!)-----------

(3rd person's Pov)

It has been several months since Tanjuro's battle against the 12 Demon Moon's that left everyone in awe, and confusion. During the several months that had passed, many changes had happened within the demon slayer corps. Mainly the addition of several new Hashira's. Those being The Mist Pillar Yuichiro Tokito, The love pillar Mitsuri Kanroji, and the snake pillar Obanai Iguro. And Kyojuro Rengoku had taken over his father's position as the Flame Hashira when he just quit, and the disappearance of Anos Voldigoad that worried everyone not for his safety, but rather what diabolical plan he's probably concocting at the moment.

At the moment, all the current Hashira's were gathered before their bedridden leader. The first to speak being the stone pillar and the strongest of the current generation of demon slayer pillars Gyomei Himejima.

Gyomei: "Oyakata-Sama..."

Their leader Kagaya Ubuyashiki otherwise known as Oyakata-Sama by the Hashira's spoke up.

Kagaya: "It is alright Gyomei. I thank you for your concern, but do not worry about me for the moment. Has there been any information about Kibutsuji or any new Demon Moon's?"

Everyone shook their head as Kanae spoke.

Kanae: "From what I've seen so far, other than the new Lower Moon 2 that Rengoku-San killed there hasn't been any sights of any new demon moon's. However..."

Sanemi spoke up.

Sanemi: "Muzan is getting desperate. He's practically turning anyone he meets into demons in the hopes of rebuilding his army. Demon sightings are becoming so much more common that even the government has taken notice. Although they haven't taken any actions just yet because we've been clearing alot more demons than before."

Kagaya hummed as he mulled over Sanemi's words. After a bit he spoke up.

Kagaya: "We can't keep things as they are. Muzan is becoming desperate in his attempts to find replacements for the 12 Kizuki that were killed, and more and more people are becoming aware of their existence. Kochou-San, has there been any news from the Kamado Family?"

Kanae bit her lips slightly before she nodded and answered.

Kanae: "Tanjuro Kamado has just recently come to pass. Apparently the fight against the demon moon's was too much for his weak body, causing him to pass much earlier than expected."

The Pillars who had seen Tanjuro's battle were all silent in sadness. They lost a great fighter. And it was thanks to him that Muzan's strongest soldiers had all been killed.

Kagaya: "I see. And how is his family taking it?"

Kanae: "Their trying their best to stay strong. Kei-San has been doing her best to calm her kids with Tanjiro helping as best he can as well."

Kagaya: "I see. If its not too much of an issue, after the meeting ends I would like to visit the Kamado Family to offer my condolences to the passing of their father, and to ask them to move in to our headquarters as well. No doubt that Muzan will most likely be trying to hunt Tanjuro's family as an act of revenge."

Kanae's kind and friendly demeanor became extremely serious startling the other Hashira's as she spoke.

Kanae: "Oyakata-Sama, I hope you aren't planning to make little Tanjiro into a demon slayer."

Ubuyashiki: "That is indeed another reason for why I wish to bring them in as well. The fact that Tanjiro might be the only person in that family to have access to Sun breathing means that he could very well become our corps greatest trump card."

Kanae: "But he's still a child! He doesn't even have any proper experience with demon slaying, and his father just passed!"

Kagaya: "I'm very much aware that what I'm doing might sound cruel, but understand that both Upper Moon 3 & 1 survived death by Decapitation, and considering how we know for a fact that Muzan's strength and regeneration surpasses the 12 Kizuki in their entirety, means that unless we kill him by sunlight, the only other way to beat him would be through Sun breathing. Something only Tanjuro and Tanjiro has access to."

Kanae went silent hearing her leaders words before her eyes went wide as she spoke.

Kanae: "Then why not have Anos-San kill him? We know that Anos should be stronger than Muzan since he was able to grant Upper Moon 1 immunity to sunlight."

Kanae's words shocked the newer members of the Hashira's who looked at her incredulously as they looked to the older Hashira's who simply nodded their head before Kagaya spoke.

Kagaya: "I understand what you might be thinking of right now, but I don't believe he would even help us. You should remember that even he was surprised to see the Upper Moons killed as well. He was disappointed that the battle ended so soon. Yes he is powerful, yes he could most likely kill Muzan. But the chances of him agreeing to it without a possible compensation are nigh-impossible. Not to mention how chaotic he is. He can show kindness, and at the same time he will show extreme cruelty without a care for the consequences."

At his words, Tengen Uzui's fist clenched in anger as till this day his wives are still having nightmares of when they had become monster's at the hands of Anos. Ubuyashiki continued.

Ubuyashiki: "Besides, your sister is already working with Tamayo and Yushiro to create a new drug that will help us deal with Muzan. So unless we're out of every single possible option, will we try to get Anos involved."

Kanae: "Is that truly the only way?"

Ubuyashiki: "Anos has confirmed that even if all our Slayer's and all the Hashira's combined to battle Muzan, it won't be enough to kill him. Just understand that I truly don't want to rely upon a child. But it's better we start training him early on so he can help us end Kibutsuji once and for all."

At Ubuyashiki's words, Kanae could only clench her fist and bite her lips in frustration. Ubuyashiki sighed seeing Kanae like this before he turned to Tengen and spoke.

Ubuyashiki: "Tengen, has the leader of the swordsmith village allowed us to borrow the Tsumukari Muramasa?"

Tengen sweat dropped as he answered.

Tengen: "The moment I even uttered the blades name the entire village surrounded, and even threatened me to stop providing weapons for our corps if we keep asking for the blade."

The others saw Tengen's depressed look and felt slightly bad for him. Ubuyashiki frowned slightly before sighing softly as he spoke.

Ubuyashiki: "Kochou-San, has there been any news on Anos's whereabouts?"

Kanae shook her head as she answered.

Kanae: "It's still the same. The last thing we know was that after the fight ended, Anos had a strange glint in his eyes before he simply disappeared. In fact, we had assumed that he had simply left completely if not for the fact that he had dropped multiple vials full of blood samples from all the demon moon's just a few days after Tanjuro had fought against the demon moon's."

Ubuyashiki sighed before he dismissed the Hashira meeting. But he still reminded them that all of them will be following him to visit the Kamado household. They all nodded before leaving. They all returned to their respective Manors preparing themselves to protect their leader.

Kanae who had returned to the Butterfly Manor entered looking defeated. She sighed as the scent of medicinal herbs and wisteria filled the entire manor. She entered one of the rooms where she spotted her sister, Tamayo and Yushiro all discussing about several pills neatly arranged on the table with labels on them.

Shinobu: "Thanks to Anos being kind enough in giving us a blood sample of every demon moon, this medicine was alot more easier to make then if we didn't have their blood."

Tamayo: "Indeed, it took many sleepless nights throughout these past few months to finally finish these medicine. But now, we are 100% guaranteed to win against Muzan. Thank you for your assistance as well Yushiro."

Yushiro puffed his chest as he proudly replied.

Yushiro: "It was of no issue Lady Tamayo."

Just then did they notice Kanae who had entered the room. The first to speak was Shinobu.

Shinobu: "Kanae Née-San? How did the meeting go?"

Kanae: "Oyakata-Sama is planning to visit Kei-Sans family to try convince them into living within our headquarters. He also wants to have Tanjiro join our organisation as a demon slayer."

Shinobu: "I see. I can understand Oyakata-Sama's thoughts, but it still feels wrong."

Kanae: "And we're leaving soon, all the pillars are preparing to escort Oyakata-Sama to the Kamado Family. Do you have any interest in joining us? And what of Tamayo and Yushiro?"

Shinobu thought about it and ultimately agreed. She missed talking to Kei and Nezuko. As for Tamayo and Yushiro, they were slightly more undecided.

Tamayo: "While I'd definitely love to meet this family, I'm just worried about the other pillars reaction to my existence."

Yushiro: "It's alright Lady Tamayo, if they try anything funny I'll kill them for you!"

Tamayo sighed at Yushiros words as she spoke.

Tamayo: "While I'm glad you'd fight for me if anything bad happens, you would still die to every single pillar even if they gave you a handicap."

Yushiros chest was pierced by an invisible arrow that had the words WEAK as he fell onto his knees depressed. Shinobu snorted in amusement at Yushiros suffering before she turned to look at her sister and spoke.

Shinobu: "I'll go freshen up and catch up."

Kanae nodded her head, and when she left Kanae asked Tamayo once more.

Tamayo: "I guess I'll be joining you all after all. I have to inform Kagaya Ubuyashiki about the advancement of our medicine to help kill Muzan."

Kanae nodded her head before she left to go check up on Kanao. She found Kanao training by swinging a wodden Bokken. She was like a robot, no emotions could be seen in her eyes as she stared at Kanae. Kanae cheerfully embraced Kanao for a bit, before letting her go and speaking.

Kanae: "Kanao, do you want to follow your big sister to visit the Kamado family?"

Kanao's expression never changed as she stared at Kanae for several seconds before pulling out a coin and flipping it. The coin landed on her palm as she looked at it. It was heads. Kanao turned to Kanae and speak.

Kanao: "Understood Elder sister, when do we depart?"

Kanae sighed as she imagines that Kanao thinks she's requesting her to follow.

Kanae: 'I hope that Tanjiro can help you Kanao.'

And so eventually all the pillars and their Tsugoku's were called to follow Kagaya in reaching the Kamado Family house. When all the pillars had gathered, the new Pillars were surprised seeing Kanae, Shinobu, and a child, and a beautiful woman and a furious looking young man.

The older pillars were also surprised but just kept silent as Tamayo spoke.

Tamayo: "A pleasure to meet you, my name is Tamayo, and this is my assistant Yushiro. We're the second doctors should Shinobu be unavailable, or if she needs help dealing with a big surgery."

Obanai looked at her in confusion as he questioned.

Obanai: "Are the two of you demon's?"

Tamayo: "Indeed we ar-"

(CLANG!)

The Snake pillar wanted to behead the two demons infront of him only to be thrown back by none other than Kanae who looked at him full of disappointment. Iguro's anger started showing as veins bulged on his head as he questioned.

Iguro: "Flower Pillar, what do you think your doing?! There are two man eating demons right behind you and you dare defend them?!"

Kanae was about to speak when Kagaya spoke.

Kagaya: "Obanai-San, if it's possible, I'd like for you to overlook their existence."

Obanai: "What?"

It wasn't just him who was confused, all the new additions to the Hashira ranking were just as confused as Kagaya explained.

Kagaya: "I can assure you all that despite being demons, they are more so immortal humans than demons. They don't require human flesh to survive, they can eat normal human food, and they can walk under sunlight without dying. That's why they are more so immortal humans then demons. Not to mention that she is also going to be the reason why we will be able to kill Muzan."

Iguro looked on in disbelief as he hissed silently.

Iguro: "You are seeking help from demons?! I thought that such an action falls under the category of breaking a taboo, and is met with you having to commit Seppuku? And besides, how exactly will she be the reason for us defeating the demon progenitor?"

Tamayo bravely walked forward as she answered.

Tamayo: "With these medicines."

In Tamayo's hand were three pills, and a syringe. Kagaya's expression lit up instantly as he spoke.

Kagaya: "The medicine is ready?"

Tamayo: "Indeed. The pills each have different effects. From weakening his cell regeneration and immune system and preventing him from seperating himself, to hastening his aging process, and finally poisoning him with 500 times the lethal dose of extremely concentrated wisteria poison. And the syringe is full of an antidote that should turn a demon back into a human."

Everyone became shocked hearing her declaration. But Obanai still held some suspicion as he asked.

Obanai: "And how can we believe what your saying? For all we know that drug could simply be something to help Muzan become stronger."

Yushiro became enraged as he roared.

Yushiro: "You dare?!"

But before he could do anything, Shinobu promptly step forward as she glared at Iguro and spoke.

Shinobu: "Then would you believe it if I said that all she says is true? After all, all three of us worked tirelessly for months to create these drugs. The only thing we aren't 100% sure about is the antidote. And we cannot try it on Tamayo and Yushiro as we don't know what possible aide effects it might have. If its something bad that could kill them then it's not worth it as they are still extremely important as a doctor. She has saved hundreds of lives during her stay these past few month's. So keep your mouth shut, or go hiss at someone else."

Just as it seems as though the two would begin fighting, a large shadow loomed over them both. Gyomei looked at the two of them in silence, before Iguro clicked his tongue in annoyance and sheathed his blade. Shinobu rolled her eyes before turning to Ubuyashiki as she spoke.

Shinobu: "Even if you all choose not to believe in her, then at the very least trust in me as the doctor of this organisation when I say this drug is the perfect counter to Muzan."

Ubuyashiki: "Don't worry Shinobu. I believe in the both of you. And Obanai, please listen to what others have to say before attacking them."

Obanai just sighed in frustration but still replied.

Obanai: "Understood Oyakata-Sama. But aside from bringing a demon, why did you bring the little kid?"

Kanae: "I'm going to have Kanao make some new friends! And Tanjiro and his siblings would be the perfect people her age to be friends with"

Everyone just looked at her strangely before simply ignoring it and continuing on with their journey. The rest of the journey to the Kamado household was filled with silence as they entered the village where Kanae guided them up the mountain to the Kamado household. Once they reached the household, they saw Kei Kamado leaving the clothes out to be dried. And as she turned around, her gaze landed upon the approaching group who took notice of her slightly bulging belly. Kanae cheerfully approached Kei who smiled softly seeing Kanae and Shinobu.

Kei: "Kanae-chan, Shinobu-Chan. It's been so long since we've last met. How have the two been lately?"

Kanae: "A bit stressful, but overall were still good. What about you? How many months are you right now?"

Kei smiled proudly as she rubbed her baby bump and replied.

Kei: "I'm almost five months pregnant. But aside from my still unborn child, for what reason is there so many people here?"

Kanae rubbed the back of her head awkwardly as she introduced everyone.

Kanae: "These are the strongest warriors of our demon slayer corps. They are the Hashira's, and the one with the purple flesh spreading on his face is our leader Kagaya Ubuyashiki, otherwise as we call him Oyakata-Sama."

Kei: "I see."

Kei gave a small bow as she spoke.

Kei: "It's a pleasure to meet you all, I am terribly sorry that I cannot bring you all inside my house as there is simply too many of you, not to mention how tall some of you are. And I have only prepared enough food for me and the kids."

She said looking specifically at Gyomei, Rengoku, and Tengen.

Kagaya was the one to speak.

Kagaya: "It's a pleasure to meet you miss Kamado. Do not worry so much for hospitality, if anything we should be the grateful ones. It was because of your husband that were now one step closer to finally defeating Kibutsuji Muzan."

Kei's eyes narrowed as she spoke with a far more protective tone.

Kei: "While I am glad to know that my husband has helped you all, what I want is for you to get straight to the point about is your true motive for visiting my family."

Kagaya: "Very well then, I would like to invite you and your family to come live at our headquarters. The Demon Progenitor Muzan is still on the hunt for your husband. And if he catches wind of where you and your family live, he most certainly will come to kill you all. But if you come live at our headquarters, your families safety is all but guaranteed. And of course, we want your eldest son to become a member of our organisation. After all, he might be the only person left alive that can use Sun Breathing."

Kei: "While I'm glad you spoke your intentions directly without hiding anything, I'm afraid I'll have to reject your offer."

At her words, everyone's eyes widened in complete shock. And Kei already predicting what question might come next, immediately continued.

Kei: "Although part of the reason why I want to stay here is indeed because of my husbands body being buried here, the other reason is because we are under the protection of Anos Voldigoad."

At the mention of Anos's name surprised everyone even more.

Kagaya: "I beg your pardon?"

Kei: "As I've said, me and my family are currently under the protection of Anos Voldigoad."

Kagaya, and all the older Hashira's finally understood why Tanjuro went and fought against the demon moon's. Tanjuro must have made a deal with Anos.

Kagaya: "And what about the second reason were here for?"

Kei: "While I can understand why Tanjiro is an important asset to your organisation, I must sadly disagree with allowing him to follow you and become a demon slayer."

Kagaya: "Is it because you fear for his safety?"

Kei: "It's not just that I worry about his safety, but Tanjiro is also an important pillar of support for the younger kids in the family. I know for a fact that if Tanjiro left alongside you, all the younger kids would be sad and are more than likely to chase after him. And that's not even considering his age."

Kagaya: "I understand, but I would appreciate it if in a few years time he tries to become a demon slayer."

Kei sighed as she replied.

Kei: "That all depends to him. If he wishes to pursue the life of a demon slayer then I won't stop him, but should he wish to continue living like we normally do, then he will not become a demon slayer."

Kagaya: "That is all I ask for thank you. Now then, we shall take our leave. Sorry to disturb you."

Kei: "No it's fine. I wish you all great luck to defeat this Kibutsuji Muzan."

As they were were preparing to leave, Kanae spoke to Kei.

Kanae: "Kei-San, I know this might not be a good time to ask, but can I leave my youngest sister Kanao to play with your kids?"

Kei: "youngest sister?"

Kei looked down to see the young Kanao as she gusshed at how cute the young girl was.

Kei: "Oh my~ She's so adorable."

Kanae: "I know right!"

And as everyone look on dumbfounded at the action of Kanae and Kei, Shinobu suddenly heard a voice inside her head.

Unknown Voice: 'Kibutsuji Muzan is approaching your group.'

Shinobu froze instantly as her eyes swept the area slightly. Shinobu's actions caught the attention of several of the Hashira's who looked at her curiously. And as Kanae and Kei finish gushing over Kanao, Kei unhesitatingly agreed to Kanae' s request. Kanae crouched down to be eye level with Kanao as she spoke.

Kanae: "Kanao-Chan, Kei-San will be watching over you for today. So be kind to her and her family alright?"

Kanao simply looked at Kanae with that same emotionless smile as she nodded her head and approached Kei who gently held the young girls hand and waved Kanae and the others goodbye as she entered her home. The moment she closed the door, Gyomei spoke.

Gyomei: "Shinobu, what's wrong? Your entire body is tense, like your preparing for battle."

Shinobu: "I might be going crazy from the lack of sleep, but just now I heard a voice in my head telling me that Kibutsuji Muzan is approaching us as we speak."

A few of the Hashira's looked at her incredulously, some looked at her in confusion, but Gyomei and Kagaya were alot more solemn as they realised that Shinobu was the only one to receive this warning, and she is the only one who is a disciple of Anos!

Gyomei: "Everyone! Get ready to fight!"

All the Hashira's looked at Gyomei in surprise, and that was the only warning they got as a wicked sounding voice spoke up. And they didn't even have to look to know that the voice belongs to none other than Kibutsuji Muzan.

Muzan: "Well now, this is a surprise. To think that I would be lucky enough to encounter not just all the Hashira's and their tsugokus, but the current head of the Ubuyashiki family and the traitorous Tamayo. I must truly be blessed today."

Everyone became solemn as right now standing before them was none other than the Demon progenitor himself. The older generation Hashira immediately attacked Muzan.

Gyomei: 'Stone Breathing Second Form: Upper Smash!'

Gyomei throws both his axe and spiked flail for a pincer move before smashing down on the chain to cause the flail to then rebound and smash his target from afar. Muzan merely smirked allowing the attack to hit him.

(Boom!)

Yet it was as if Muzan never received any attack. Not even a single drop of blood was drawn. Muzan had an annoyingly smug and arrogant smile as he spoke.

Muzan: "I'm in quite the good mood today, so I'll give you all a chance to attack me. Go ahead and do your worst, and let me enjoy your looks of despair as I kill you all slowly."

Tamayo clicked her tongue as she whispered.

Tamayo: "Yushiro, give me one of your talisman so I can get close to Muzan."

But when no reply came, Tamayo looked around, only to realise that Yushiro wasn't besides her anymore, and that the drugs she held were missing as well. Tamayos eyes widened in horror as she realised that Yushiro was most likely planning on forcing the drugs into Muzan's system instead of herself.

And true to her guess, Muzan felt someone pierced his back, before he felt something strange dissolving immediately upon entering his body and the person who had stabbed him had already dissapeard. Muzan had a quizzical expression on his face, before it dawned upon him what had happened.

Muzan: "Hoh? You've come to learn to make your own demons Tamayo? And he's even strong enough to use a blood demon art. Consider me impressed. And I'm assuming whatever that strange thing that dissolved in my body was a drug you created to try and take me out?"

Tamayo gritted her teeth in annoyance at Muzan's words as she spoke.

Tamayo: "Understand that you will die today Muzan! Your tyranny ends today!"

Muzan laughed sadistically as he spoke.

Muzan: "It doesn't matter what kind of drug you try to use, I instantly adapt to any kind of drugs or poison you may use!"

Gyomei dissapeard from where he stood, before he appeared above Muzan and used a breathing technique.

Gyomei: 'Fourth Form: Volcanic Rock, Rapid Conquest'

Gyomei manipulates both the flail and axe weapons at both ends of the chain by swinging the chain on both sides in order to strike his opponents using a two pronged wide ranged attack.

Yet once more Muzan stays still without moving as Gyomei cleaves and smashes through Muzan, once more not a single drop of blood was drawn as Gyomei retreated.

Gyomei: "This is far worse than we anticipated. He regenerates from the moment he's attacked, so we can't even so much as draw blood from him. And that's not even considering the fact that decapitation doesn't work on him."

Muzan clapped his hands in amusement as he spoke.

Muzan: "Colour me impressed Hashira, it seems like your not all just muscle. But as he said, I can't be killed by decapitation, no poison works on me, and this mountain has almost no sunlight shining through thanks to the thick and tall trees. And we've got alot of time till the next day approaches. Tell me, why not just surrender? If you all grovel and kneel before me ill be generous enough to spare you all, and turn you into my new demon moon's."

Before anyone could reply, they heard a voice full of amusement speaking up. Kagaya, and all the older generation Hashira's were surprised as Kanae and Shinobu exclaimed.

Kanae & Shinobu: "Anos?!"

Muzan's eyes widened in slight fear, before turning into anger as he roared.

Muzan: "Show yourself you faker! There can only be one Demon King, and that is me!"

Anos's voice suddenly went silent causing everyone present to shudder at the sudden eeri silence. But that was broken by Anos's laughter.

Anos:"Pfft. I'll admit, I never knew you were a comedian. You think you have the right to declare yourself the one true demon king?"

Muzan: "I am perfection incarnate! I can never die to anyone, and my physical prowess surpass everyone who dares to challenge me."

Anos hummed slightly before he spoke.

Anos: "Then how about a challenge?"

Muzan: "A challenge?"

Anos: "You claimed a few minutes ago you can adapt to any poison am I right?"

Muzan: "Indeed. Do you plan to kill me with poison?"

Suddenly all the Hashira's felt their hair standing up giving them goosebumps as Anos appeared right next to Muzan, his arm wrapped around his shoulder casually as he spoke with Muzan seemingly unaware of the fact that Anos was right besides him.

Anos: "No, no my dear friend. You've already been poisoned, I just wish to see how long the dosage given to you will take to claim your life. If you somehow survive this lethal dose of poison, then I'll give you the honour of being killed by my hands."

Muzan scoffed at Anos's words as he spoke.

Muzan: "You think that drug injected into my body by Tamayo's servant is powerful enough to kill me?"

Anos: "The drug simply needed enough time to take affect. Let me help you with that."

Anos: {Rivide}

Suddenly before the baffled eyes of everyone watching, Muzan's once dark hair turned snow white, and Muzan's expression drastically change as a dark purple started spreading across his face and hands. Muzan fell to the ground on his knees as the poison continued spreading.

Muzan: (Blergh), (Cough), (Cough) "What did you do to me?!"

Anos: "Shinobu, Tamayo, Yushiro, would you like to inform Muzan about the medicines effect on his cells and the little surprise that comes with it?"

Shinobu: "The effect of the drugs injected into your body is as follows. To slow down your cell regeneration and weaken your immune system."

Tamayo: "To prevent you from separating your flesh to escape."

Yushiro: "And dumping into you concentrated Wisteria poison. Five hundred times more potent and lethal to be precise."

Gyomei spoke up.

Gyomei: "Anos Voldigoad. Can we kill him, or will you prevent us from doing so?"

Anos had a thoughtful expression on his face as he glanced at Muzan who's flesh started rotting a disgusting purple and falling of him revealing his bones and even his 7 hearts and 5 brains were being eroded making the Hashira's giving him looks of disgust. Anos finally came to a decision as he spoke.

Anos: "Go ahead, I've lost interest in him already."

Anos took a seat on the ground as all the Hashira's went for the kill. All the older generation demon slayer activated their demon slayer marks increasing their physical abilities by leaps and bounds far surpassing the newer generation Hashira's.

Gyomei: 'Stone Breathing Fifth Form: Arcs of Justice'

Gyomei utilizes a powerful barrage with his flail and axe, doing a great amount of damage. The axe is destined to hit first with the trajectory of the flail following from the opposite side and slamming into the opponent.

Sanemi: 'Wind Breathing Ninth Form: Idaten Typhoon'

Sanemi backflips into the air and while upside-down, unleashes a powerful gust of circular wind that slashes apart anything below.

Kyojuro: 'Flame Breathing Esoteric Art: Ninth Form Rengoku!'

Kyojuro assumes a high stance before performing an extremely high-speed dash towards Muzan and unleashing a singular, devastating slash. The technique is powerful enough to completely carve out the ground in its wake.

Giyu: 'Water Breathing Fourth Form: Striking Tide, Turbulent'

An improved version of the Fourth Form: Striking Tide. The user increases the quantity of consecutive strikes and slashes along with improving its accuracy in order to contact a specific target.

Kanae: 'Flower Breathing Fifth Form: Peonies of Futility'

Kanae unleashes a flurry of nine consecutive attacks that flow and weave in on themselves.

Shinobu: 'Insect BreathingDance of the Dragonfly: Compound Eye Hexagon'

A six strike attack with which Shinobu aims to strike and inject Muzan with multiple doses of poison at the target's weak spots (such as the neck, heart, torso, etc.) in order to kill him with a large dose of poison.

Mitsuri: 'Love Breathing Third Form: Catlove Shower'

Mitsuri leaps into the air and performs multiple arched slashes in quick succession.

Obanai: 'Serpent Breathing Third Form: Coil Choke'

Obanai circles around Muzan while using his sword to slice at him from all directions.

Yuichiro & Muichiro: 'Mist Breathing Fifth Form: Sea of Clouds and Haze'

Yuichiro & Muichiro charges at their target at blistering speeds while performing dozens of slashes in front and/or around them.

Tengen: 'Sound Breathing First Form: Roar'

Tengen lifts his twin cleavers above his head and slams them down with great force, causing a loud sound resembling thunder as a result.

Muzan with extreme difficulty saw everything that was happening as he cursed.

Muzan: 'NO! I WON'T BE KILLED TO WEAKLINGS LIKE YOU!'

Muzan then forced his body to its absolute limit managing to create a giant mouth from his torso as it unleashed a massive shock wave. It would have normally been able to paralyse or even kill anyone that took it head on, but with how badly poisoned Muzan was, it was only enough to prevent himself from being killed.

And what happend next shocked everyone present. Muzan's body was blown to bits except his head that was held by Anos.

Anos: "I've been entertained enough. This situation is getting boring."

Everyone tensed up at Anos's words as they couldn't even see when Anos had moved.

Anos: "You were lovely entertainment for me. However, you didn't provide me with enough entertainment. For that, I hope you will enjoy my little parting gift for you."

Muzan's head which had returned to it's normal pale colour instead of the purple poisoned look he had started roaring.

Muzan: "Anos Voldigoad! Show yourself! You think hiding like a coward will do you any good?!"

Muzan's words confused everyone present. Couldn't he see that Anos was the one holding his head?

Anos: "I really don't like your attitude weakling. I hope you enjoy having a date with death."

Everyone: "What?"

Suddenly everyone heard the sound of someone whistling. It sounded so horrifying that everyone started looking around for the sound of the whistle. When the sound of footsteps started approaching them, they were all brought face to face with what seemed like a wolf with a dark cloak and two sickles at his side who continued whistling eerily.

As the strange wolf raised it's head after finishing it's whistling, everyone got a good glimpse of its red eyes as the wolfs gaze landed on Anos and Muzan as it growled before speaking.

Death: "What reason did you bring me to this world Demon?"

Anos tilted his head with an innocent expression etched on it as he spoke.

Anos: "If you find the notion of 9 lives absurd, what do you think of this human?"

Saying so, he dangled the bodyless Muzan as Death growled.

Death: "I hate the both of you. Now, send me back to my world."

Anos: "Come now little one, don't be such a bad sport. I promise you a bone to chew on if you just take him to hell for me."

Death: "Don't go treating me like a domesticated dog! Grr, I hate people like you the most. The number of times you've not cared for your own life is so great you make Puss In boots look like someone who actually cares for his lives! And he doesn't!"

By this point Anos had become irritated as he spoke.

Anos: "I tried being polite, but now you've come to irritate me. Let me change my words little dog. Take this man off my hands, this is a direct order from me. Consequences be damned if you dare continue ignoring me. If your that unsatisfied with me, then feel free free to try killing me. I'll even stay still and swear on my name that I won't even try resisting."

The wolf, or death as Anos calls him merely growled in anger before he swiped Muzan's head off Anos as he all but growled.

Death: "I may be death, but even I know how foolish trying to even touch you is. Even if you let me attack you till death has no reason to exist I know for certain it wouldn't change anything about the outcome of the fight."

The wolf then covered it's face as it muttered in Spanish.

Death: "Espero que sufras eternamente, demonio repugnante."

Anos merely smiled before he waved and spoke.

Anos: "Have a safe trip back~ And do train a little harder, it's a rather pathetic sight seeing death lose in close combat against a cat wearing boots."

His words caused the disappearing wolf to growl even more before he vanished bringing along Muzan's head who was throwing every possible profanity in the dictionary in hopes of escaping the paws of death. Anos clapped his hand drawing the attention of everyone as he spoke.

Anos: "Congratulations to you all. Muzan is dead, and now normal demons are the only thing that exist now. So, how many of you are willing to become my disciples?"

Everyone: "..."

The first to answer was Kyojuro.

Kyojuro: "I am truly thankful for your help for everything till now, but I am still refusing! I want to grow old as a normal human!"

Anos: "I mean, knock yourself out I guess. And the others?"

Everyone else practically gave the same answer, before turning to look at Kanae and Shinobu.

Anos: "Shinobu is already my disciple, but what about you Kanae Kochou?"

Kanae: "I.... I accept your offer."

Everyone even Shinobu looked at her in shock! Before she could explain her reason, Anos spoke.

Anos: "Wonderful. What about Tamayo and Yushiro?"

Yushiro: "I go wherever Lady Tamayo goes."

Anos: "She doesn't love you in the same way you love her you know. If that's going to be your only excuse following her, give up."

Yushiro fell to his knees as an invisible arrow with the words it's obvious and rejection written on it stabbed into his heart.

Tamayo sighed softly hearing Anos's words. She felt bad for her assistant, but what exactly can she do about it. Tamayo finally spoke.

Tamayo: "I want to ask you f-"

Anos: "Not happening. I could care less about you wanting to see your dead husband and child or not. All I asked is if you wanted to become my disciple or not."

Tamayo felt her hope shatter to bits as tears fell from her eyes. Yushiro became enraged as he prepared to strike Anos only for him to burst into a messy pile of flesh and blood. The Hashira's shuddered at the scene he didn't even move and Yushiro just burst like a balloon.

Tamayo thought long and hard about this decision. Without her husband and child, she'd undoubtedly have no reason to live, so instead of staying in this world, she will travel alongside Anos to use her medical expertise to help others.

Tamayo: "I accept your offer."

Anos finally allowed Yushiro to heal as he spoke.

Anos: "Choose if you are really willing to follow Tamayo. Know that if your only excuse for becoming my disciple is to continue this one sided infatuated love to a woman whose heart clearly doesn't see you romantically in any way I'll just leave you here."

Tamayo also spoke up.

Tamayo: "I'm sorry Yushiro, but I am in no way attracted to you romantically. And as for this debt you owe me for saving your life all those years ago, you already successfully paid it back when you willingly injected our drug into his body. You helped me accomplished my dream by seeing Muzan die. So, take the rest of your long life to find other things to do. Find someone who you can fall in love with, that is my only wish for you my loyal assistant."

Yushiro merely nodded his head sadly as he became saddened hearing his lady Tamayo wishing to part from him. He sighed dejectedly as he spoke.

Yushiro:"(Sigh) I knew this would happen one day no matter how much I tried rejecting it. I... I understand Lady Tamayo. I shall try to live my life without your guidance anymore. Wherever you go I hope others will appreciate your help."

Tamayo smiled kindly before Tengen screamed.

Tengen: "SIMP!"

Everyone turned to look at Tengen with blank gazes as he shrugged it off with a casual smile as he spoke.

Tengen: "What? I'm just being honest you know?"

Everyone sighed in disappointment at Tengen before their gazes focused on Anos and Tamayo. Anos shook his head in exasperation before speaking.

Anos: "While my time here has been fun, I've got other world's to visit to entertain myself. As for the Kochou sisters, you two will age alot slower. As promised, you both are still human just with later age progression. So even in your seventy's, you will simply look like your 30s. I'm giving you all only until your youngest sister gets married before I bring you both along on my journey am I understood?"

Both sister's nodded their heads as Anos spoke once more.

Anos: "Do either of you have any questions?"

Shinobu nodded hwe head as she spoke.

Shinobu: "Why do you give us only till Kanao gets married?"

Anos: "That way, you atleast can enjoy yourselves seeing your sister married before embarking on a journey that are full of scene's that will make even those with the strongest of wills surrender to despair."

Everyone gave Tamayo, Shinobu and Kanae looks of pity. But Kagaya smiled softly as he thought to himself.

Kagaya: 'You really are a chaotic person. Your intentions are very kind, yet you wish to show these poor children a world of despair that you claim no matter how strong your will, you will succumb to despair.'

Anos: "Then with nothing left, we shall be on our way."

Anos: {Gatom}

A magic circle appeared under Anos before Tamayo and himself vanished. Kagaya turned to face the Hashira's as he spoke.

Kagaya: "Let us head back to the headquarters for today and celebrate the death of Kibutsuji Muzan."

Hashira's: "YES!"

As they all began their trek back to their headquarters, some of the Hashira's couldn't help but talk about what they bore witness to.

Mitsuri: "I'm still finding it hard to believe that death is a wolf though."

Gyomei: "That wasn't how death is supposed to be. You heard it. Anos brought that version of death here for some specific reason. It's better you don't question it too much lest you go mad."

Eventually they reached their headquarters where Kagaya assembled all the Hashira's and Tsugoku's as himself and his family bowed towards all the Hashira's greatly shocking them as he spoke.

Kagaya: "On behalf of the entire Ubuyashiki bloodline, I'd like to thank all of you Hashira's for all that you've done for this organisation. Thank you."

Kagaya's wife and kids also bowed their heads and thanked the Hashira's. Kanae and Mitsuri got flustered by the sudden thanks and started stuttering their words unsure of how to reply. In the end it was Gyomei who spoke.

Gyomei: "We are undeserving of your praise and your thanks Oyakata-Sama. In the end the ones who deserve all this is Tanjuro Kamado and Anos Voldigoad."

Kyojuro: "Indeed! I am in agreement with Himejima-San. Even at the end during our encounter with Kibutsuji, he wasn't even killed by us."

Sanemi: "We always expected the best possible outcome for a fight against Muzan would be the possible end of all of us in exchange for ending him once and for all, but in the end we didn't even so much as break a sweat. It was the poison injected into Muzan, and Anos's help that weakened him by so much, and in the end that bastard decided to skip leaving him to burn in the sun, and instead brought the very imbodimet of death from another world to drag him to hell."

Tengen: "That's not considering the Wolf's words to Anos's provocation. If even death doesn't dare to attack Anos, what hope did we or even Muzan had of ever acomplishing such a feat. So Oyakata-Sama, we don't deserve your thanks nor your praise. Please yourself and your family shouldn't bow to us."

The other Hashira's all nodded their heads as Kagaya and his family raised their heads before he spoke.

Kagaya: "Very well then, but at the very least accept our thanks for constantly fighting against the demons for so long. Many generations of Hashira's have died during battle, or retired and for all your hard work, we thank you all."

The Hashira's and their Tsugokus all sighed at the stubbornness of their leader. Kagaya spoke his last words to elevate the spirits of everyone present.

Kagaya: "Now then, let's all go have a lascivious feast in celebration of the death of the demon progenitor."

Everyone: "Yeah!"

As everyone began celebrating the death of Kibutsuji Muzan, Anos and Tamayo arrived at their new destination.
