Fushiguro Tsumiki
At Tokyo No. 1 Colony, the group, having just dealt with the United States soldiers, were in a terrible mood. Shortly after Gen left, news came that the "Tengen" defense line had fallen. Before they could even catch their breath, the Angel, who was about to release Satoru Gojo, heard the story of Satoru Gojo's release from the group.
"Senior Yuta Okkotsu Gu, what do we do now?"
Megumi Fushiguro stepped forward, carrying in his hand the cage containing Sukuna.
The group, who were originally full of fighting spirit and had even planned how to destroy and rebuild the various barriers after freeing Satoru Gojo, have now become headless flies once again.
"Kenjaku was kicked into a bloody mist, how can he still run?"
Itadori was somewhat puzzled. What did it mean that he had taken a direct hit from the Phoenix Wheel and turned into a bloody mist, but was still alive?
No, how exactly did they determine that he was still alive?
Inside the cage, Sukuna, listening to the conversation, propped himself up—his fingers were still in Kenjaku's hand; if anything happened to Kenjaku, he would be doomed too.
"Ah, according to Tsukumo's deduction, the user of the Cursed Spirit Manipulation will spit out all the Cursed Spirit in their body at the moment of death, and become ownerless. This is in accordance with the effect of the Cursed Technique."
Whether it was a hallucination or not, the group felt that Yuta Okkotsu's eyes had become even more gloomy, especially after hearing in their earpieces that Satoru Gojo left the Prison Realm. Unable to understand Satoru Gojo's current situation, the group was very likely to include Satoru Gojo in the ranks of "enemies".
"Therefore, Kenjaku, who possesses the Cursed Spirit Manipulation, will have a large number of Cursed Spirit appearing after her death."
"From what you're saying... Tengen and Kenjaku have already gotten together?"
The speaker was Reggie —one of the "strongest" in Tokyo No. 1 Colony. When he was discovered by Yuta Okkotsu and the others, Reggie had already lost half of his arm to a grenade. Yuta Okkotsu was overjoyed and had Rika eat Reggie's limbs. After storing the Contractual Re-creation, Reggie joined the team.
"You, are you quite familiar with Tengen and Kenjaku?"
Looking at the overly familiar Reggie, Megumi Fushiguro asked with a dark expression.
"No, I wouldn't say we're very familiar. I've only heard of Tengen and Kenjaku's cultivation levels."
"... A realm I've heard of? What kind of realm is that?"
The moment Reggie uttered those words, Itadori, filled with doubt, immediately followed up with a question.
"It's probably about how good Tengen is and how wicked Kenjaku is; it sounds like a children's storybook."
"... It seems like you've only read about these two people in books."
Fushiguro looked at the front of the group, Yuta Okkotsu was tightly gripping his shoulder strap, and then at Reggie was chatting animatedly with Itadori.
I have a bad feeling.
The next step is to find the seniors and reunite, then transfer the points to Tsumiki... and then look for an opportunity to stop the Culling Game.
But the more she thought about it, the more Megumi Fushiguro felt this bad premonition.
The group didn't stop; they were heading to the Tokyo No. 2 Colony to meet up with Hajime Kashimo and Kinji Hakari there.
Walking directly ahead, Yuta Okkotsu was currently filled with worry because he couldn't contact Gen.
The feeling of being out of sync with the plan plunged Yuta Okkotsu into anxiety. He wondered if Satoru Gojo, now freed from the seal, was still in a normal state—after all, it was Kenjaku who had released him. If he were a normal Gojo-sensei ...
I have a feeling I'll end up fighting with Mr. Xuan too.
So, is this really a normal Gojo-sensei?
As Yuta Okkotsu walked, he placed his fingers near his mouth and gently bit his fingertips with his teeth.
Aside from Yuji Itadori, who was listening to Reggie's boasting, Megumi Fushiguro, whose mind was full of her sister, Megumi Fushiguro, Hana Kurusu was following closely behind Megumi Fushiguro, and Yuta Okkotsu Otsukotsu, who was having an anxiety attack, there was also Uncle Higuruma, who was right behind them—seemingly silent, but actually developing Cursed Technique.
Bass!
With a whoosh of wind, the group stopped in their tracks.
"Mr. Xuan?!"
The first to raise his head was Yuji Itadori, who sensed the wind, followed closely by Megumi Fushiguro.
"Tsumiki?"
At that moment, appearing before them with the wind was Gen, who was bringing Tsumiki in a wheelchair.
"Ah, Fushiguro!"
Gen smiled broadly, the wings of the Nue behind him flapped a few times, and the tail of the Great Serpent swayed as it landed, placing Tsumiki's wheelchair on the ground as he landed.
"I've calculated that you should be finishing up around this time. I just went to the hospital and brought your sister here—perfect timing, you're going to the Tokyo No. 2 Colony, right?"
Gen smiled at Megumi Fushiguro Megumi Fushiguro, who rushed forward to check on Tsumiki, who was in a wheelchair.
"Come back quickly!!!"
The moment Yuta Okkotsu saw Xuan appear, he had already put on his ring. Light purple Cursed Energy surged out, and he immediately spat out Cursed Speech. Fushiguro, who was about to approach Tsumiki, was instantly controlled by the Cursed Speech. As he quickly retreated, he also saw the disdainful expression on Xuan's face.
"You must be Kenjaku?"
Yuta Okkotsu shielded the group behind him, his eyes fixed on "Xuan," while "Xuan" let out a long sigh.
"That's strange, how come you could all tell?"
"What did you do to Tsumiki?!"
Fushiguro let out a hysterical roar at Kenjaku —while the latter remained calm.
"I didn't do anything... I just brought her from the hospital... which means she's my hostage now."
Kenjaku's lips curled up, and then he looked at Yuta Okkotsu again.
"So... how did you figure that out?"
Yuta Okkotsu gripped the knife tightly, and as his Cursed Energy erupted, his two eyes, which were covered in heavy dark circles, sharpened.
"Mr. Xuan left me a code."
"... I really didn't think of that part. No, actually I did, but I think given Xuan's thinking, he probably wouldn't be able to guess the content of the code."
Kenjaku smiled, then leaned back in his chair against the terrified Tsumiki.
"How about this, Yuta Okkotsu, let's make a deal. I'll return Tsumiki Fushiguro to you, and you, tell me that code, okay?"
"..."
Yuta Okkotsu slightly raised his sword, clearly having no intention of revealing the coded message. Kenjaku, showing no further interest in questioning, swept his golden eyes over Sukuna, and then kicked Kenjaku Tsumiki Fushiguro, along with her wheelchair, towards Megumi Fushiguro and Yuta Okkotsu.
"Domain Expansion." / "Domain Expansion!!"
As Tsumiki Fushiguro's body flew towards Megumi Fushiguro, in Yuta Okkotsu's vision, Kenjaku formed a hand seal. Almost simultaneously, Yuta Okkotsu took a step forward and simultaneously unleashed his domain, isolating the others from the outside.
