They Ran, Bro: Season 2

Kenjaku swallowed hard. His condition wasn't actually that good. If he were to face Satoru Gojo, he would have no choice but to bite the bullet and fight—but what if he unleashed his domain?

Kenjaku wasn't confident he could unleash his domain unscathed against Satoru Gojo. His domain expansion speed was relatively slow, and he was afraid of taking a tenfold Unlimited Void from Wuliang Kongku under these circumstances.

He's completely wrapped up.

However, the Satoru Gojo before them had probably clashed with Gen in terms of domain strength.

Gen's domain expansion speed is much faster than his own, and he's probably on par with Satoru Gojo —so all he needs to do is make Satoru Gojo believe that he can achieve a draw in a domain clash.

Judging from Xuan's domain, Satoru Gojo should not be able to gain any advantage and should not engage in domain confrontation so rashly.

As Kenjaku was thinking at breakneck speed, Gojo's figure appeared before him—a heavy fist imbued with red Cursed Energy slammed into his body.

Is it He?!

This guy actually treated the Reverse Cursed Technique as part of his Cursed Energy enhancement? And then used it to override the Cursed Technique Reversal in physical attacks?

In the instant he was struck, Kenjaku made his choice.

"Idle Transfiguration!"

His arm was severed in an instant, but it quickly healed into a new one. The arm that flew out with the force of the punch exploded into a shower of blood and flesh, while Kenjaku was forced to retreat.

Damn, if that punch had actually hit me, I would have been torn to shreds.

A golden magic ring appeared above Kenjaku's head, and the moment it appeared, it adapted to Satoru Gojo's "Inviolability".

"Oh? You also have Mahoraga?"

Satoru Gojo smiled, dispelling the red Cursed Energy that had gathered in his hand. The Red Fist he had just received made him realize that the Kenjaku before him was nothing but a show of strength.

However, he didn't have much Cursed Energy left, but fortunately, the Six Eyes Cursed Energy was enough for him to fight the guy in front of him at will.

However, if the other party has the Mahoraga, that's a different story.

Xuan's body means he still possesses abilities like Piercing Water and lightning strikes, and he can also defend himself with the Rabbit Escape —if he were to rashly use Zi, he might not be able to kill Kenjaku in front of him.

As Gojo pondered, he assumed a defensive stance once more—azure energy covered his fists, and his azure eyes gazed at Kenjaku before him—the opponent's total Cursed Energy didn't seem too great either; to be honest, it was probably on Yuta Okkotsu.

Anyway... just fight!

The thought of what Gen had told him beforehand—that they would have a contest to see who could finish off the enemy first—filled Satoru Gojo with renewed energy.

As for Kenjaku, seeing Satoru Gojo charging forward again, he felt his vision go black.

--Meanwhile, on the other side.--

Swish! Swish!

A chilling wind, accompanied by Lightning, swept across the street and suddenly turned into a corner. Xuan followed without hesitation—because his Cursed Energy was insufficient, Xuan's body could not completely transform into light, nor could he move at the speed of light.

However, the inability to move at the speed of light is more than enough to catch up with Sukuna.

If Sukuna hadn't been constantly leaping and dodging the untargetable light, Sukuna would probably have turned into a puddle by now.

Swish! Swish!

Sukuna could only say that she was in a bad mood.

The direction he was heading was where Kenjaku was. If he could meet up with Kenjaku, his chances of winning would increase significantly. Therefore, Sukuna accelerated at full speed. In the instant the lightning flashed, the distance between him and Xuan widened once again, but even so, Xuan still pursued relentlessly.

"What, can't escape?"

Xuan's voice came from behind, forcing Sukuna to speed up again, but no matter how fast he sped up, Xuan always managed to keep up and catch up with him.

However... at this moment, Sukuna has finally found someone who can save her.

After a series of sprints, Sukuna, transformed into a gust of cold wind, landed beside Kenjaku, and light fell down in an instant—

"Huff... Zenin Xuan! You're not in good shape!! It's two against one now!"

Sukuna leaned against Kenjaku, but only as they landed did he realize something was wrong.

Huh? Why does Kenjaku seem like he wants to?

"Oh? Hui? You've matured a lot!"

When Satoru Gojo's voice came, Sukuna realized that not only Kenjaku was present, but also Satoru Gojo.

In other words, the game is still two against two.

At this moment, Kenjaku was already thinking about where to bury himself.

This won't do... We need to think of a solution.

... It's a bit risky, but let's do it anyway.

Kenjaku lightly touched Sukuna's hand, and several fingers peeled out of Megumi Fushiguro's body along Kenjaku's hand, slightly lowering Sukuna's condition while also recording Megumi Fushiguro's physical body.

After Sukuna's consciousness gradually faded, Kenjaku's mouth finally opened.

"Hey... Satoru Gojo."

Kenjaku and Sukuna — Satoru Gojo and Gen—stood facing each other, their five pairs of eyes scanning the people present.

"I've placed a switch for Idle Transfiguration within Megumi Fushiguro and Yuta Okkotsu. If you dare to make any rash moves, or if I die, the Idle Transfiguration will activate, altering them into a state from which they can never revert."

Kenjaku stared at Satoru Gojo and Gen, trying to catch a trace of weakness on their faces, but there was none. Not only was there none, but their true thoughts were also impossible to discern.

If things continue like this... I reckon I'm going to be stuck here.

While he can indeed run, what happens after he runs? Where can he run to when Xuan's dog-like nose is locked on?

Kenjaku drew circles on Sukuna's palm with his fingers, conveying his thoughts to Sukuna.

"Um?"

At this moment, Satoru Gojo, who was slowly recovering his Cursed Energy, looked at Kenjaku in front of him, his azure eyes full of questions.

"I know you will never let me go, so I need time!"

Kenjaku had no choice but to take a gamble now.

From the slightest clues, Kenjaku could tell that the two guys in front of him were probably war maniacs who would fight regardless of the situation.

With his own body and the Cursed Technique he had memorized that could be Idle Transfiguration- action, he was perfectly capable of accomplishing this monumental task of endless battle.

"Suguru Geto's body is also in my hands, Satoru Gojo... If you kill me now, you will not only lose your two disciples, but also the bodies of your former friends, and you won't even have the chance to bury them."

"Snort..."

Satoru Gojo's face immediately darkened, but he did not take any action at that moment.

"Furthermore... as a sorcerer who has lived for over 1,800 years, if I were to die with my the Strongest body like this... aren't you two the Strongest just afraid of me, the oldest sorcerer...? You can decide how much longer I can live, but give me at least a month!"

"Sigh... It's clearly my body, Kenjaku, you're really in a sorry state."

Xuan crossed his arms, looking speechlessly at his body covered in cold sweat, while Kenjaku completely ignored Xuan's assessment.

As soon as he finished speaking, Satoru Gojo's consciousness was transmitted through the earpiece Gen had given him.

So, should you say yes?

Please agree; my current state is incapable of Idle Transfiguration.

... So we're just going to let them get away like that? Mysterious?

Kenjaku's body is my body. No matter how weak my Cursed Technique usage is, it's still a physical body that must be killed in one hit... It's just a pure tank. If you can Open Domain now, you don't have to agree to his request. What do you think?

That means we have to agree.

You must establish Gojo Binding Vow: you decide the time and place.

After a brief exchange, Xuan took a small step back, while Satoru Gojo spoke.

"Okay, Kenjaku, I promise you."

"I know... I need to set Binding Vow... right?"

At this moment, Kenjaku's face showed no joy at surviving a disaster. On the contrary, he appeared calm, even overly calm.

"Yes, Kenjaku, you remove the sorcery effects from Megumi Fushiguro and Yuta Okkotsu... Then, Gen, you, and Sukuna, the four of us, will end this in Shinjuku, Tokyo on December 24th."

"During this period, you and Xuan are not allowed to attack us, nor are you permitted to probe my location in any way, nor are you allowed to come near me."

Kenjaku gritted his teeth and made a request that he thought was unlikely to be granted.

Gen and Gojo exchanged a glance.

promise?

Whatever you say, I think letting them develop for two months will make the game more enjoyable.

Great news, Xuan! But don't stop me, I'm going to fight Sukuna.

After the internal dialogue ended, Gen also opened his mouth.

"Look at you, then we'll be merciful and give you both a month... Of course, during this time, you can't hurt anyone."

"Let's set the date for December 24th."

After Gen finished speaking, Satoru Gojo added the specific time, and upon hearing the date, Kenjaku gritted his teeth.

"... make a deal."

The Binding Vow wrapped around the three of them like invisible threads, and after sensing the Binding Vow were complete, Sukuna's remaining fingers were all retracted by the Kenjaku.

"Idle Transfiguration!"

With Kenjaku hands forming a hand seal, at the instant the contract was established, the Idle Transfiguration marks that Yuta Okkotsu Kenjaku Yuta and Megumi Fushiguro were completely cleared away—under the Six Eyes ' vision, Kenjaku dared not play any tricks at all.

After completing the cleansing of the Idle Transfiguration, Kenjaku dared not linger for a moment. He immediately transformed into a beam of light, took flight in an instant, and disappeared into the Sky Manipulation in the blink of an eye.

"Call..."

"Ahhh--"

Gen and Satoru Gojo both breathed a sigh of relief the moment they saw Kenjaku leave.

Perhaps in Kenjaku and Sukuna's eyes, the two are pure killing gods, but... in reality? The two are currently unable to even properly engage in a domain-based confrontation.

Both Kenjaku and Sukuna, when at full strength, are likely capable of unleashing Open Domain.

The friendly match turned into a real fight, and the two players were prepared to swallow their pride and bear the consequences.

The current situation can be described as the Gojo dead creatures scaring the living Sukuna to death.
