Reborn in Demon Slayer: The Six Eyes Sorcerer
Chapter 3 – The Gathering of Hashira
The headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps was hidden deep within the mountains.
Tall trees surrounded the large estate, and the peaceful atmosphere made it hard to believe that this place was the center of humanity's war against demons.
Ren Takahashi walked calmly beside Giyu Tomioka along a stone path.
Several demon slayers nearby stopped when they saw the Water Hashira returning with a child.
They whispered quietly among themselves.
"Why is Tomioka-san bringing a kid here?"
"Is he a new recruit?"
"But he looks too young…"
Ren ignored the whispers and simply observed his surroundings.
Thanks to the Six Eyes, he could sense energy flowing throughout the entire area.
Many powerful presences were nearby.
Much stronger than normal demon slayers.
Ren smiled slightly.
The Hashira are here.
Giyu finally stopped in front of a large wooden building.
He turned to Ren.
"Wait here."
Ren nodded casually.
"Sure."
Giyu walked inside.
A few minutes later, Ren suddenly felt several powerful presences approaching.
One by one, figures appeared around the courtyard.
A tall man with white hair and a large scar across his face looked at Ren suspiciously.
The Wind Hashira – Sanemi Shinazugawa.
"Tomioka brought a kid?"
Another giant man with prayer beads around his neck stood quietly nearby.
The Stone Hashira – Gyomei Himejima.
"Poor child… why is he here?"
A cheerful girl with pink and green hair leaned forward curiously.
The Love Hashira – Mitsuri Kanroji.
"He's cute!"
A calm woman with a gentle smile approached slowly.
The Insect Hashira – Shinobu Kocho.
"My, my… this is unusual."
Soon the courtyard was filled with the Hashira.
Each of them stared at Ren with curiosity.
Ren waved casually.
"Hello."
Sanemi frowned immediately.
"…Why is a brat here?"
Before anyone could answer, Giyu walked back outside.
Behind him stood a fragile-looking man with pale skin and gentle eyes.
Even though his body looked weak, his presence was strangely calming.
The leader of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki.
All the Hashira immediately knelt down respectfully.
"Master."
Ren simply watched with interest.
Kagaya smiled gently.
"So this is the child you mentioned, Tomioka?"
Giyu nodded.
"Yes, Master."
Kagaya turned his head toward Ren.
"Come closer, child."
Ren walked forward without hesitation.
The Hashira watched carefully.
Sanemi's hand already rested on his sword.
Kagaya spoke softly.
"Tomioka told me something incredible."
He paused for a moment.
"You killed a demon without using a sword."
Ren nodded.
"Yeah."
The Hashira immediately reacted.
"That's impossible," Sanemi said.
Shinobu narrowed her eyes curiously.
"Then how did you kill it?"
Ren lifted his hand slightly.
"Like this."
The air around his palm began to distort.
Blue energy slowly gathered into a small glowing sphere.
The moment it appeared—
Every Hashira instantly sensed the terrifying power inside it.
Sanemi's eyes widened.
"What the hell is that?!"
The ground beneath Ren's feet began trembling.
The wind around them was pulled inward.
Even small stones started sliding across the ground.
Kagaya's gentle expression turned serious.
"Everyone… step back."
The Hashira immediately jumped backward.
Ren aimed his hand toward a large boulder in the distance.
"This is called…"
The blue sphere grew brighter.
"Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue."
BOOOOOM.
The air suddenly collapsed inward.
The giant boulder was violently dragged forward and crushed into pieces instantly.
The ground cracked as if something had pulled reality itself.
Silence filled the courtyard.
Every Hashira stared at the destroyed boulder.
Sanemi slowly lowered his sword.
"…What kind of monster is this kid?"
Even Shinobu looked shocked.
"That wasn't a breathing technique…"
Ren shrugged casually.
"It's something else."
Kagaya remained quiet for a moment before smiling softly again.
"I see."
He turned toward the Hashira.
"This child may become one of humanity's greatest weapons against demons."
Sanemi crossed his arms.
"He's dangerous."
Ren laughed lightly.
"Relax, I only kill demons."
Kagaya looked back at Ren.
"What is your name, child?"
"Ren Takahashi."
Kagaya nodded.
"Ren… would you like to join the Demon Slayer Corps?"
Ren thought for a moment.
Then he smiled.
"Sure."
The Hashira exchanged surprised looks.
None of them realized yet…
But the boy standing in front of them possessed a power that could easily destroy even the Upper Moons.
And somewhere far away—
Inside a dark castle—
A demon suddenly collapsed to the ground in fear.
The Upper Moon demons had begun sensing something terrifying.
Something that felt like an unstoppable force.
Something…
That even Muzan might not be able to control.
