[Seiji's POV]
"I've already told this to Sanemi, Giyu and Rengoku," I began as the three gave me a knowing look at my words.
"I've reinvented Sun Breathing," I said.
"....."
"....."
"I beg your mightiest pardon," Ubuyashiki said, "But what did you just say?"
"I've re-created Sun Breathing," I said, putting it into different words.
"Hmmm," Ubuyashiki did not show much reaction other than his initial surprise. He merely rubbed his chin while taking a good look at me. He also released a thoughtful hum.
"I see. Naturally, if you've mastered all the five major breathing styles that were directly derived from Sun Breathing, you could find a way to retrace the source," he said, more to himself but I nodded.
"Yes,"
"But that would require genius talent and exceptional understanding of breathing styles and swordsmanship," he said, "All qualities you possess in spades,"
I did not need to explain it to him, he understood it immediately. Although he was not a warrior due to his body condition, he was above everyone else in theory.
"I'd assume the mixed breathing - as you called it - were a prelude to this discovery," he said.
"Indeed. But I never expected the path to lead to this either," I replied.
"A well-earned coincidence then," he smiled, and shook his head, "Sucess is but talent and hard work meeting on the ground of opportunity,"
"You really surprise me once more Seiji," he said with a smile that barely contained his joy.
"Was that what you were practising in the training grounds? I knew those techniques were different but I thought you were creating new ones, not recreating the first breathing style," Shinobu asked with a helpless sigh.
"Is there a way you can teach this to your fellow Hashiras?" Ubuyashki asked. Being the leader of the organisation, his mind immediately went on about how to best utilize the new weapon obtained against the demons.
"Teaching a completely new breathing style to a Hashira would be counterproductive. If we do try and teach the Sun Breathing to others, we should focus on the new generation instead, they are blank sheets," I said.
"And that is considering the person can learn Sun Breathing in the first place. There is a reason why the breathing style was forgotten at one point, it requires a genius to learn Sun Breathing," I said honestly. Everyone nodded in acknowledgement.
"Regardless," Ubuyashiki said after a moment of silence, "I guess you finally have an official title now. For the longest time, we refer to you as 'The pillar of pillars' due to your unique nature. But now, you can be a named pillar,"
...
"The Sun Pillar,"
For some reason, that goes kinda hard.
"Sounds cool, I like it," Tengen said what was on my mind with a glittering grin on his face.
"I appreciate the title, but I'd prefer that no one other than he people present here know about this. If others know that I can use Sun Breathing, it can attract unwanted attention," I said.
"I understand," Ubuyashiki said.
A secret weapon was most lethal. Besides, if Muzsan learned that I have Sun Breathing so soon, he would bring the whole demon race to my doorstep just to kill me.
Although that sounded like a great opportunity to end the demon as a whole, I was not strong enough to take them on just yet.
After all of that, I had finished saying all the things I wanted to say. The reason why I called the Hashira meeting was over and now, even if my friends go on joint missions, I would be able to be more relaxed, knowing that I'd prepared them with my future knowledge.
Knowing that I've done more.
The meeting continued as Ubuyashiki took advantage of all the Hashira gather to give us direct orders and speech which he wasn't able to give previously.
There was a lot of talk about strategies again and how to combat the increase in demon activities. Shinobu also spoke up and revealed the news that Kanae Kocho had woken up from her coma.
"...so little Kanae is completely fine now, praise the Gods," Gyomei said as tears fell from his eyes like a waterfall. We gathered around him, sharing his relief as our friend had fully escaped death from a demon.
The meeting lasted a total of 5 hours. I took the first hour with my information and news while the rest was spent on discussing other important matters.
After the meeting was over, Gyomei and Tengen came up to me, requesting a spar. The others have seen Sun Breathing but they haven't, so they wanted to experience the first breathing style themsvles.
Not only out of curiosity but hoping that there might be a chance for them to progress in their respective technquues and breathing styles.
I was about to accept their proposal but Ubuyashiki called me.
"I'm sorry to call you privately when the others also wanted to have time with you, but I have something of utmost important to show you," Ubuyashiki said.
"Of course, what is it?"
"I want you to come back to the Ubuyashiki mansion with me. There is someone I'd like you to meet," he said.
I was caught off guard at first, because no one else except Gyomei knew where the Ubuyashiki mansion was located. It was such a hidden place guarded more heavily than anywhere else in the Demon Slayer Corp.
And so, I followed Ubuyashiki and his wife as they went to the Ubuyashiki mansion.

(The Ubuyashiki Mansion)
"He is outside," ubuyashiki said, exhaustion evident on his face from he travels.
I gave a curt bow before I returned to looking around at the mansion. I was curiously searching for explosives for obvious reason but I was disappointed to find none.
I guess ubuyashiki planted the bombs right before Muzan found him.
I walked through the quiet hallway of the mansion and made my way towards the courtyard. When I came to the veranda and looked outside, i saw someone, likely the person whom Ubuyashiki wanted me to meet.
*swish*
*swish*
*swish*
*swish*
My eyes were glued at the scene.
A young boy with long black hair and cyan color at the end. He looked to be no older than nine years old.
He was swinging a wooden sword with the restless abandon of a madman.
I knew who that was immediately and I couldn't help but chuckle.
..
The future Mist Hashira.
Muichiro Tokito.
