To Untie the Knot, You Must Find the One Who Tied It

Yuji Itadori turned his head, his face completely bewildered.

But Asuramaru knew.

The Jogo is probably half dead now.

As Satoru Gojo placed his hand on Yuji Itadori's shoulder, the two figures vanished instantly, within just a few breaths.

We had arrived at a lake.

The person opposite them was none other than the boastful Jogo, now covered in wounds and with a solemn expression.

His gaze toward Yuji Itadori was also somewhat profound, and he thought to himself.

"Is this the vessel for Sukuna, the kid who might possess Asuramaru? For the sake of future plans, Yuji Itadori cannot die yet."

Did you bring me here so that I could be subdued by that sword too?

That's what I thought in my heart, but I still stubbornly insisted on saying it.

"Bringing a burden along? How stupid."

But Satoru Gojo's lips curled slightly upwards, looking completely unconcerned. "It's okay, because you're really weak!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

Jogo erupted with unparalleled power, his forehead spewing forth towering flames, his anger reaching its peak.

"Don't underestimate me, you bastard!"

Veins bulged on his forehead as he formed hand seals and shouted, "Domain Expansion - Coffin of the Iron Mountain!"

Even when he deployed his domain, he still Domain Expansion when facing Satoru Gojo, the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer of the modern era.

Satoru Gojo, who had just expanded his domain, instantly severed the head of the severed creature and casually tossed it onto the ground by the shore. He then rubbed the severed head back and forth under his feet, questioning the creature.

"Who sent you?"

Faced with humiliation, the Jogo remained silent.

This bored Satoru Gojo, who kicked him away and said, "Itadori, absorb it with your sword."

"Okay, Mr. Gojo."

With a thought, Yuji Itadori conjured Azakana from Demon Power in his hand, already wondering how much his Cursed Energy could be increased this time.

Facing this blade, the Jogo sensed no Cursed Energy fluctuations from it; in fact, the blade gave it an extremely dangerous feeling!

"What do you say? Are you going to rescue it? It seems that it really is the legendary Asuramaru. But I can't be discovered by the people at the Jujutsu High yet. If you want to rescue it, then go ahead."

He turned and left.

Hanami, standing beside him, remained silent, raising her hand to bloom a white flower before leaping away and disappearing in an instant.

The next moment.

Just a second before Azakana was about to pierce the head of the Jogo, a hundred flowers fell to the ground and instantly bloomed into a sea of flowers.

It exudes a peaceful aura.

When Satoru Gojo other came to their senses, Hanami suddenly appeared, manipulating the trees to ambush Itadori while simultaneously grabbing Jogo's head and running away.

Faced with this situation, Satoru Gojo was helpless and could only step in to save Itadori, but in the blink of an eye, the two Cursed Spirit had already vanished without a trace.

"They escaped. They concealed their presence very well. It's unbelievable that Cursed Spirit of this caliber have gathered together. What are they planning to do? This is truly intriguing."

He turned around, laughing, to look at Yuji Itadori behind him, and continued speaking with a smile.

"Let's begin the grueling training. We'll master the Cursed Energy to fight against me, and at the same time, we'll go outside to exorcise Cursed Spirit. Let's give Fushiguro and the others a surprise in a month!"

"Fight Gojo- sensei? For a month? I'd die then, wouldn't I?" Yuji Itadori couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Time flies.

Itadori goes about his daily routine, but fortunately he has successfully mastered the Cursed Energy and learned the Divergent Fist, which adds Cursed Energy to his fists. In addition, he has also improved his Breathing Style.

Thanks to his powerful physique, he can now even use Dance of the Fire God briefly, but he has only mastered the Round Dance in sword form.

It lasted a total of two weeks.

In Asuramaru's opinion, this training speed was just so-so.

After his training yielded results, Satoru Gojo was eager to have Itadori carry out missions to quickly improve his strength.

Standing in the classroom, he suddenly got up and opened the door. A middle-aged man wearing a well-fitting white suit, with a neat short haircut and diving goggles walked in.

Satoru Gojo introduced it in a rather unserious manner.

"This is my reliable junior, former salaryman Jujutsu Sorcerer Kento Nanami! With him guiding you on missions, I can rest assured."

As she spoke, she put her hand on his shoulder.

In contrast, Kento Nanami maintained his composure, saying, "Please don't call me that! First, let me greet you. Nice to meet you, Itadori- kun."

He bent forward slightly.

Seeing this, Itadori followed suit and bowed.

Hello, nice to meet you.

"Please don't misunderstand and think I share the same views as Mr. Gojo. I trust and rely on him, but I don't respect him!"

They speak with absolute confidence.

"For the next period of time, I will be leading you on missions," Kento Nanami said succinctly.

"Okay... okay."

Yuji Itadori didn't sense anything amiss.

On the contrary, it was Satoru Gojo who relentlessly pestered them.

"Nanami, come out with me for a bit later, okay?" As she spoke, she secretly slipped a note into the side pocket of his suit jacket without anyone noticing.

But Kento Nanami completely ignored him and turned to leave. "Yuji Itadori, come with me. Let's begin the mission now."

"Huh, so suddenly?"

Upon hearing this, Yuji Itadori didn't have time to think and hurriedly chased after them.

Behind him, Satoru Gojo's lips curled into a slight smile, a look of satisfaction on his face as he watched the two leave, clearly pleased with himself for successfully pulling off a prank.

We went outside.

At this moment, Ijichi had been waiting at the exit in his car for a long time, until Itadori and the other got in.

Only then did Kento Nanami speak.

"This is a murder case in a movie theater, and we suspect a powerful Cursed Spirit is lurking nearby! Our mission is to investigate thoroughly and exorcise the Cursed Spirit!"

(Thanks to the aloof and worshipful Master who loves fish bone and tofu soup)

Chapter 124 The one who tied the knot must untie it.

Kawasaki Kanagawa Prefecture, Kawasaki City.

A movie theater on the street.

The Sky Manipulation was overcast and a light drizzle was falling. Yuji Itadori and Kento Nanami stood outside the movie theater with umbrellas over their heads.

"The scene is horrific. Are you ready, Itadori?"

This time, Yuji Itadori finally put his mind to it and hurriedly asked, "Asuramaru, is there Cursed Spirit in here?"

Upon hearing this...

Asuramaru followed up with a reply.

"There are no Cursed Spirit, but there are two interesting things on the rooftop here."

Having received a definite answer, Yuji Itadori quickly replied, "Thank you so much, Asuramaru."

She then turned around and chased after Kento Nanami in front of her, "Nanami (Mr. Nanami), wait for me."

When the two arrived inside the cinema...

Arriving near the seat where the attack occurred, one sees the blood-stained chair, while the bodies of those who died there have already been taken back to the Jujutsu High for autopsies.

As Kento Nanami gazed at the blood-stained chair, he suddenly turned his head and pointed to a passageway, speaking in a deep voice.

"Can you see it? This is the Cursed Residue of Cursed Energy."

"Really! I saw it!"

Following the direction of the finger, Itadori narrowed his eyes and noticed the Cursed Residue Cursed Energy on the ground, which resembled footprints imbued with Cursed Energy.

Upon hearing this Kento Nanami was also surprised, but still reminded him, "However, if you want to stand on your own, you need to sense the aura before you even see it."

"Couldn't you have given me a few more words of praise or encouragement?" Yuji Itadori immediately looked deflated.

"I won't praise, nor will I belittle; this is who I am, and I once mistakenly believed that society was the same... But let's leave that aside for now and get to the point."

"Alright! Let's get our spirits up!" Yuji Itadori clasped his fists together, looking energized.

Instead, Kento Nanami calmly interrupted, "Let's just leave it at that level."

I just feel like we don't get along.

Yuji Itadori's expression stiffened, but he followed suit.

The two made their way to the rooftop.

Finally, he discovered the two humans who had been transformed into something resembling Cursed Spirit, Yuji Itadori stood there dumbfounded.

Recalling what Asuramaru had said about something interesting, she couldn't help but ask in return, "Asuramaru, is the interesting thing you mentioned these two Cursed Spirit?"

Upon hearing this...

Asuramaru's lips curled slightly as he revealed the truth, "These two aren't Cursed Spirit, but genuine humans whose souls seem to have been altered by some kind of Cursed Technique."

Upon seeing this, Yuji Itadori looked again at the two Cursed Spirit, but could not detect even the slightest trace of humanity.

But Asuramaru had no reason to deceive himself, so it must be true...

Thinking of this, Yuji Itadori could no longer suppress his anger.

Kento Nanami had already put down his black umbrella and calmly said, "I'll take care of this one. Itadori- kun, you take care of the other one over there. If you think you can't win, just call me..."

But before he could finish speaking...

Yuji Itadori couldn't help but remind him, "Wait Mr. Nanami! These two aren't Cursed Spirit; they're real humans!"

"Humans? Itadori -kun, why did you come to that conclusion?" Kento Nanami's expression remained calm, but his gaze towards Itadori held a hint of doubt and curiosity.

Yuji Itadori didn't know how to answer either, since his teacher Gojo, had forbidden him from revealing Asuramaru's existence to anyone.

He had no choice but to say it.

"I discovered it using Cursed Technique!"

Cursed Technique?

Kento Nanami frowned slightly. He didn't know what Yuji Itadori's Cursed Technique was, but he looked at the two Cursed Spirit.

Certain features on its body, especially the watch worn on the arm of the 'Cursed Spirit' in front of it, seem to support this point.

But the 'Cursed Spirit' roared and charged towards the two of them.

Kento Nanami also immediately drew his thallium knife from his waist and reminded him in a deep voice.

"Even if they were once human, they have now degenerated into mindless beasts, and all we can do is end their suffering!"

As he spoke, he picked up the thallium shavings in his hand.

Using Cursed Technique, find the weak point and sever the limbs of the attacking Cursed Spirit.

But when it came to Yuji Itadori, he found himself in a dilemma: should he really kill someone?!

He couldn't bring himself to do it.

He was then punched by the attacking Cursed Spirit and sent flying backward, but even so he only knelt on the ground and wiped the blood from his nose with his arm.
