You didn't expect this, did you? I've time-traveled again!

"No, no way..."

The pillars were so shocked they were speechless.

The Tanjiro Kamado before me is incredibly weak; how could he possibly be a descendant of Yoriichi Tsugikuni?!

Disqualified, utterly disqualified!

What a disgrace to our ancestors!

Look at Muichiro Tokito, who is also a descendant of the Tsugikuni family. He became a Pillar after only two months of wielding a sword. That's what makes him worthy of the name Tsugikuni!

But Tanjiro Kamado immediately denied it, "No, that's not true! The scar on my forehead is not congenital; it's a scar from a burn I got when I was a child protecting my younger brother."

Hearing him say that, everyone suddenly realized what was going on and calmed down.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki also realized, "Could it be that Tanjiro is being hunted down because he looks similar to Yoriichi Tsugikuni?"

As expected of the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, his mind is indeed sharp.

"That makes sense now..."

"How could this be... As the Ghost Ancestor, to be hunted down just because of a resemblance... That's so unglamorous!"

"My impression of the progenitor of demons has been shattered."

The Pillars scoffed at Muzan Kibutsuji's actions, and even Mitsuri Kanroji, who had a low threshold for laughter, burst out laughing, saying, "That's hilarious!"

"Yes, yes."

With the Pillars chiming in with their opinions, Muzan Kibutsuji's evaluation of him dropped considerably.

"I told you, Kamado Tanjiro is such a coward, he could never be the descendant of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, he's just too trash!" Shinazugawa Sanemi scorned and mocked Kamado Tanjiro without any restraint, his already ferocious face becoming even more terrifying.

Tanjiro Kamado remained silent, for what he said was indeed true.

He can't even protect his own sister.

Only Kagaya Ubuyashiki noticed the problem: "Suoh-kun, we already understand why Muzan Kibutsuji was chasing Tanjiro, but what does that have to do with the Breathing of the Sun?"

The others then realized that what Suoh Takeshi had said had absolutely nothing to do with the Breathing of the Sun technique.

All the pillars held their breath and looked at Suoh Takeshi, waiting for him to speak.

Suoh Takeshi looked at them with a wicked smile and said, "What kind of expressions would you have if I told you that Kamado Tanjiro knows the Sun Breathing Technique?"

"What?!?!" X9

Oh no, that's really bad!

This kind of Dragon King's return method, where the characters are initially belittled to the extreme and then instantly rise to the top, caused the expressions on everyone's faces to fluctuate like they were on a rollercoaster. It was an incredibly exciting feeling.

The pillars were once again dumbfounded, their mouths moving but no sound coming out.

Tanjiro, you still say you're not Yoriichi Tsugikuni's descendant!

After a while, the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters became as noisy as a vegetable market again.

"Sun Breathing Technique... Sun Breathing Technique, it's... it's...!!"

"Are you...you're not kidding?"

"Is it true? Is it true?!"

They looked eagerly at Suoh Takeshi, and after receiving his confirmation, the Pillars looked at Kamado Tanjiro with burning passion.

Chapter 026 is only slightly more than yours.

"and many more!"

Just as everyone was getting excited, Sanemi Shinazugawa, who didn't get along with Tanjiro Kamado, was the first to make things difficult for him, saying:

Don't you find this strange?

“Strange? What’s strange about it?” The others didn’t quite understand what he meant.

Shinazugawa Sanemi stared at Kamado Tanjiro and said fiercely, "If he really knows the Breathing of the Sun, then why did he go to learn the Breathing of Water from the previous Water Pillar, Urokodaki Sakonji? Is the Breathing of the Sun inferior to the Breathing of Water?"

“If that’s the case, then it is indeed…” Everyone fell silent upon hearing his words.

Sanemi Shinazugawa's words are not without merit.

You should know that the Sun Breathing Technique is the strongest breathing technique!

It makes no sense to learn the Breathing Technique of Water instead of the Breathing Technique of the Sun. Is it really possible to go the long way around like this, losing the big picture for a small gain?

Unless someone has a mental problem, otherwise...

Tanjiro Kamado quickly clarified again, saying, "I only know the Water Breathing Technique, not the Sun Breathing Technique!"

To be honest, everyone hoped that Tanjiro Kamado would learn the Sun Breathing Technique, but Sanemi Shinazugawa's words were not without reason. Moreover, why should he learn the Water Breathing Technique, which is so much weaker, instead of the Sun Breathing Technique?

The majority of people were more inclined to believe Shinazugawa Sanemi's version of events.

Suoh Takeru, however, remained completely calm. He said to Kamado Tanjiro with an air of nonchalance, "No, you will."

"No, no, I can't."

"No, no, no, I said you can."

The two then began arguing.

Here's where things get interesting.

Between Suo Takeshi and Kamado Tanjiro, who is lying?

For a moment, the atmosphere gradually became strange and rather intriguing.

"Senior Suoh, I really don't know anything about the Sun Breathing Technique. I've never even heard of the name 'Sun Breathing Technique.' Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Tanjiro Kamado also wished he could know it, but in reality, he had never heard of the Sun Breathing Technique.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki didn't believe that Takeshi Suoh was making baseless accusations; there must be some hidden reason. He asked, "Suoh-kun, please explain. My lovely children are getting impatient."

I think you're the one who's anxious.

Suoh Takeshi muttered a curse in his heart, but he didn't keep them in suspense any longer and said, "There is indeed a hidden story behind this."

"What's the hidden story?"

"Rumor has it that after Yoriichi Tsugikuni left the Demon Slayer Corps, he did not pass on the Sun Breathing technique within the Tsugikuni family. Instead, he passed it on, along with his own earrings, to a charcoal seller and changed its name..."

Suoh Takeru gave a general overview, then looked at Kamado Tanjiro and said:

"The name was changed to..."

"Fire God Kagura Dance, it's Fire God Kagura Dance!"

Tanjiro Kamado finally understood, picked up on what Suoh Takeru had said, and loudly proclaimed his family's long-standing Kagura dance.

He finally understood what the flaming sword technique he had involuntarily used in his battle against Lower Moon Five, Rui, really was.

That's a breathing technique, the strongest Sun Breathing technique!

"It's...really!!!" Shinazugawa Sanemi stared wide-eyed at Kamado Tanjiro in disbelief.

That seemingly weak and useless person whom he could easily manipulate was actually the successor of the Sun Breathing Technique!

What a joke!

He, the Wind Pillar Sanemi Shinazugawa, would never admit it!

However, the facts are undeniable, and there is no way to change them even if he refuses to acknowledge them.

"Tanjiro, could you please tell me more about that...Hinokami Kagura Dance?" Kagaya Ubuyashiki's usually calm expression crumbled. He knew that the Sun Breathing Technique was truly right beside him!

"Yes."

Tanjiro Kamado bowed his head in response, and then began to explain.

"Actually, I don't know much about the Kagami Kagura Dance. I only know that my father would dance this dance every year during the festival, and he would dance from night until dawn without getting tired."

My father once told me never to forget the family dance, and he also told me that the most important thing in dancing the Kagami Kagura dance is to maintain your breathing.

I think what my father was referring to was the Sun Breathing Technique.

His face was filled with sorrow.

Thinking of his father again made him somewhat sad.

Hammer it!

It's confirmed!

The Fire God Kagura Dance is actually the Breathing Technique of the Sun!

This time, everyone had to believe that Tanjiro Kamado was indeed the inheritor of the Sun Breathing Technique.

"Tanjiro, I wonder if you would be willing to teach the Sun Breathing Technique to the Demon Slayer Corps?" Kagaya Ubuyashiki said gently, without any intention of forcing him.

"Yes, I do!"

Tanjiro Kamado shouted, "I'm willing to do anything to kill Muzan Kibutsuji and turn my sister back into a human!"

"Young man... well done!"

Kyojuro Rengoku's senses towards Tanjiro Kamado were immediately greatly improved.

"What a beautiful sibling love~" Kanroji Mitsuri was also deeply moved.

"You're quite impressive, aren't you!" Uzui Tengen laughed heartily, slapping Kamado Tanjiro's shoulder hard.

"Ah, Tanjiro, your wish will come true." At this moment, Gyomei Himejima finally believed in Tanjiro Kamado. Although he sympathized with Tanjiro Kamado's plight before, he did not trust Tanjiro Kamado because of his own past experiences.

But at that moment, he was certain that Tanjiro Kamado was not a malicious person.

Even Obanai Iguro, who had previously been determined to execute him, glanced at Tanjiro Kamado's decisive decision with a slight sidelong look.

"This guy..." Shinazugawa Sanemi couldn't express his feelings at that moment.

"..."

The remaining Pillars remained silent, but their positive impression of Tanjiro Kamado increased significantly.

"Thank you, Tanjiro. The Demon Slayer Corps will not forget your contributions." It was worth it for Kagaya Ubuyashiki to insist that no one punish Tanjiro Kamado. Less than an hour later, this reward came.
