Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Kimetsu no Yaiba. If I do, I wouldn't be writing this Fanfiction.
Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, and Inosuke, along with some of the Hashira, the most powerful swordmasters in the Demon Slayer Corps, find themselves in a strange room. In it, they view their past lives and how it ended to uncover the secret that the world held thousands of years ago. But would they be able to restrain themselves when they find themselves in the same room with their nemesis Muzan? And who is the mysterious paled skin person with the strange pale eyes?
Pink eyes blearily opened as it scanned the surroundings, the quiet environment not helping with her drowsiness as Nezuko stretched herself. Her eyes scanned the room as it landed on a male figure casually sitting in front of her, the white hat and the black suit easily recognizable. She released a gasp as her instincts took over, doing a backflip as she desperately tried to widen the distance between her and the man.
"Well, hello there." The man spoke in a gentle voice, standing up from his seat and walking towards Nezuko whose eyes frantically scanned the room, seeing her brother and his friends sprawled into the floor on her left, with the rest of the Hashira unconscious on the right. Her brain working in haywire trying to figure out how to defend both sides from Muzan as the nails on her hands sharpened.
"Be at ease, I'm not after you and your friends." Muzan spoke genially, hiding the contempt on his voice with a polite persona.
"Not for the lack of trying I assure you. In fact I-"
Muzan was cut off by a diagonal slash from behind landing on his back, Muzan grunted from the unexpected blow as he was thrown across the room.
"Nezuko! Wake the others!" A voice recognized by Nezuko yelled as she did as ordered. Urokodaki was sweating, gripping his blade tighter watching as Muzan stood up from where he was sprawled after the unexpected attack.
"That's impossible, the blade connected. It should have cut through. Instead, something else blocked the blow. What is happening here?!"
Shinobu was the first to wake up, along with Tanjiro and Giyu as they quickly hurried into their defensive position after seeing Urokodaki facing off against Muzan.
"What is happening here Urokodaki-san?!" Tanjiro asked in worry as he took his place beside Urokodaki, discreetly covering the remaining unconscious people as Shinobu helped Nezuko wake the others.
"So this is the famed water Hashira before Giyu." Shinobu thought to herself as she helped Nezuko wake up the others. "I don't know what is going on here, but all of us in the same room against Muzan. Our chances are astronomically higher.
Giyu calmly unsheathed his blade as he glared at Muzan, who was simply amused by the reactions he was seeing.
"Can you tell us the current situation Urokodaki-san and why are we and Muzan here in this strange room?" Giyu was proud that he was able to hide the waver in his voice as he calmly waited for a reply.
"I have no idea. I can't even remember the last thing I was doing after waking up here. The first thing I saw was him about to attack Nezuko." The masked man stated gravelly as he waited for Muzan to make a move, seeing Tanjiro tense up slightly in the corner of his eye.
Muzan released a sigh as he patted himself free of the dust in his clothes. "As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted. For some reason, this room prevents any harm to the body. This means no matter how much you attack me, I will not die. Trust me, the first thing I did was to try and kill you but no matter what I do, my attacks won't pierce your skin. As if an invisible barrier is preventing it."
He stated factually, not even a hint of nervousness as the rest of the Hashira including Zenitsu and Inosuke finally woke up. He has nothing to fear from these beings. After all, he is the perfect being.
"Muzan, how dare you show your face here! Are you really that confident in taking on all of us that you didn't bring your bodyguards with you?!" Sanemi growled, his eyes turning into slits as he unsheathed his own blade, intent on charging forward, only for Kyojuro and Mitsuri to pull him back.
"Calm down Sanemi!" Kyojuro spoke as he held back the brash white-haired teen. "Don't rush in like that, you'd get yourself killed!" The flame-haired man barked as he quickly assessed the situation.
"So it's me, plus Shinobu, Sanemi, Mitsuri, and Giyu. Along with Tanjiro-kun with his sister and his friends. Not to mention we have a former Hashira along with us. And Muzan is alone without his demons. I'm not sure what the outcome of this battle will be but Muzan won't walk out of here alive!" Kyojuro thought furiously as he gripped the handle of his blade. The goal of the Hashira right in front of him.
"Oi Monitsu! Get a grip! There are a lot of us and one of him! I'm sure we can take him down!" Inosuke roared as he settled on a fighting stance, while Zenitsu was shaking in fear behind his back.
"B-but, this is Muzan we are talking about! How are we gonna win against him?!" Zenitsu shrieked as flashes of his time during the initiation and facing the spider demon making him convulse even further.
But before anything could happen, a presence suddenly makes himself known.
"Alright, that's enough now." A strange pale man materialized in the center between Muzan and the opposing group, wearing strange white clothes and possessing strange white eyes, which reminds him of that insufferable human Kagaya.
"And who are you supposed to be?" The demon asked as his gut tells him not to anger the being in front of him, which was quickly squashed by his own ego. "That's absurd, there is no being stronger than me, least of all, this man."
"My name is Otsutsuki Shiki. And I am the one who brought all of you here." The pale man grinned, showing off his canines as Muzan's eyes narrowed.
"Are you the reason behind the barriers? Why my attacks couldn't pierce their skin and theirs mine?" Muzan asked with a deceptively calm voice.
"Yes I am, what are you gonna do about it?" The Otsutsuki asked mockingly. The Hashira along with Tanjiro and the others were shocked at the way the pale man spoke to the strongest demon in existence, mentally asking if he has a deathwish.
"Is he insane? Does he have any idea who we as talking to?!" Was a thought shared by all of them as they prepared to attack, knowing that Muzan is pissed and is ready to lash out. They weren't wrong.
With speed the demon slayers never saw before, Muzan rushed towards Shiki, intent on teaching the disrespectful fool a lesson as to why no one mocks the strongest being and gets away with it.
"You insolent fool! If you only you were careful with your words, I would have entertained you." The black-haired demon thought furiously as he was about to land the finishing blow, only for the Otsutsuki to catch his hand.
"Wh-what?!" Muzan spluttered, wide eyes as he stared at the being in front of him. Similar reactions were shared by the demon slayers as they never saw the attack coming.
"Heh, that's cute." Shiki said in an amused way, letting go of Muzan's hand before punching him in the stomach, making him heave on the floor as he knelt with his head down.
"W-what are you?" Muzan asked in disbelief, still clutching his stomach in pain.
"Simple, I am a being stronger than you." Shiki stomped on Muzan's head, making an imprint on the floor as the demons slayers looked in silence. "All of you." The pale man then stretched out his palm, a mass of angry red swirling energy taking the form of a sphere in his hand as the show of power engulfs the room. If I want to, I could destroy you. Every single one of you and nothing could stop me.
Muzan, cowed by the show of power could only grit his teeth. Realization finally dawning on him that this being isn't someone he could bully. For once in a thousand years, he finally felt fear.
Suddenly, the mass of energy died down as Shiki let go of Muzan's head.
"But that's not what I'm here for. I need all of you to do a little something for me, and you could all go free." Shiki said with a convincing smile as if nothing happened.
"U-um, what is it that you want us to do Otsutsuki-san?" Mitsuri asked nervously in a meek voice, eyes wide in shock and fear as he saw the strange being in front of her casually manhandling the strongest demon in existence. The reason why the Hashira was formed.
"Simple, I want you to touch this orb." A seemingly harmless looking blue orb materialized above Shiki's hand.
"I'll do it." Giyu casually walked forward, a squawk coming out from the rest of the demon slayers as Tanjiro held him back.
"Wait Giyu-san! We are not sure what would happen to you if you do that!" Tanjiro protested, but Giyuu was unwavering.
"And you do realize that this man is far stronger than all of us combined. If he wants us dead, he would have done so already." The water Hashira stated in a calm voice, as he gently pried off Tanjiro's hand from his limb. Muzan quietly seething, as he is reminded again of the astronomical difference between him and the Otsutsuki.
"Are you sure about this Tomioka-san?" A female voice asked, Giyu recognizing it as Shinobu as they locked eyes with each other. For once, Giyu could actually see a flash of concern in Shinobu's eyes. "It's fine, out of everyone here, I'm the most expendable."
The rest of the demon slayers were silent as the orb hovered in front of the water Hashira. With a slight hesitance, he places his hand on top of it the room before them shifts.
The room transforms into a place they do not recognize. The view shifts to a man sitting on a concrete throne. The man was someone they do not recognize, with sharp features and two stress lines on his face. The man has black hair tied into a ponytail, with his black robes with bizarre red clouds adorned all over. On his right hand, an even stranger ring on his right hand with the Kanji "Shu". (Scarlet)
"He is so handsome!" Mitsuri thought observing the man's youthful face. She couldn't voice her thoughts out, in fear of getting the pale man's attention.
"What is the meaning of this Otsutsuki san?" Giyu asked with respect and a hint of nervousness.
"This is you." Those words alone shocked the entire room.
"What do you mean?" Kyojuro asked with a hint of wonder, as he and the rest were awed at the insane amount of details they were seeing. They know this is not real, it's like someone put them in an illusion.
"Or rather, this was Tomika Giyu. A long time ago." Shiki answered cordially, while Muzan who just recovered from the brutal beatdown asked with a hint of doubt.
"Are you saying this is the human's past life?" He asked incredulously. His skepticism was shared by the rest of the group.
"Yes, all your answers will be given after this. I assure you. Now be silent and let us watch the show." Shiki said dismissively to Muzan who almost snarled but held himself back.
The man slowly opened his eyes, with a strange red color and tomoe patterns.
"What is that?" The Hashiras thought seeing the peculiar eyes this past version of Giyu has. They are still skeptical of the entire thing but at this point, they can do nothing but watch.
"Hey Komaboko, is it just me, or are those eyes strange?" The boar headed teen asked, snapping Tanjiro, and the rest of the group from their thoughts.
"Yes, it is. Though let us watch further and we may get some answers."
"Foolish little brother." The man muttered as as he reminisced about the old days.
The room shifted again into a forest, with a young boy watching a younger Itachi.
Itachi then leapt off the ground, and with incredible skill and dexterity, hitting all of the target practice with his kunais, not missing a single one.
"Incredible! The kind of skill for someone so young! Judging by the weapons he used, he must be a ninja." Urokodaki thought as Zenitsu, Tanjiro, and Inosuke gaped.
"W-whoa." Zenitsu muttered in awe watching the scene play out in front of him. The rest of the Hashira, in the same impressed state watching a younger Itachi's skills.
"Oh, it appears this version of Tomioka-san has skill compared to the current one." Shinobu couldn't help but quip, making Mitsuri and Sanemi snicker. The presence of Muzan no longer bothering her that much considering someone much more powerful is holding his leash.
Chapter 1 End.
Author's Notes: Yea, this is my first time attempting to write a story, please bear with me lol. After finishing the KNY Anime (I'm still not updated in the Manga) I couldn't get this idea out of my head. Well, here it is. Essentially a KNY reads Naruto story.
So yea, some helpful feedback would be nice.
