Demon Slayer: Identity Swap

The heavy scent of wisteria clinging to the wooden walls of the headquarters lingers as Master Muzan pushes a tattered, smoke-stained scroll across the tatami floor between you.

The parchment reeks of acrid smoke, smudged at the edges with fine golden ash that crumbles when you lean in to examine the crude sketches of a half-destroyed village.

Before you can ask for more details, the sliding doors behind you creak open, and Tsugikuni Michikatsu, the Moon Hashira, steps into the room, his Nichirin blade strapped tight to his waist, his stern gaze fixed firmly on Muzan.

"That demon is Rengoku Kyojuro, Upper Moon Two," he says, his voice low and sharp with warning."No rookie has lasted three minutes against his Purgatory Flame Domain.I request to lead this mission myself.

" Muzan coughs into a silk handkerchief, his frail shoulders hunching for a heartbeat before he shakes his head, waving a dismissive hand.

"The northern border requires your strength to fend off a raid from Upper Moon Three.

This recruit trained in Water Breathing, they have the stealth to infiltrate the eastern forests, scout Rengoku's position, and report back before any unnecessary engagement.

" The golden ash on the scroll suddenly flickers, a faint wave of heat curling up from the table, as if the lingering flame has sensed your presence.
