The word "kill" immediately enraged Choso, who had just acknowledged Yuji as his brother.
His formerly calm cursed energy surged again, and his gaze locked firmly onto Hajime Kashimo.
"What the hell are you saying?! I'll never let you hurt Yuji!"
However, Hajime Kashimo paid no attention to Choso's threat.
His gaze fell upon the back of Yuji Itadori's hand, where Sukuna had grown a new mouth.
"What did you say?"
Sukuna's icy voice came from it.
Hajime Kashimo smiled at that.
Though he could not see Sukuna's expression, he knew perfectly well that Sukuna was furious now.
This was the rage of someone whose scheme had been exposed.
As Hajime Kashimo spoke, he glanced in Jie Jian's direction.
"So he was right. You really have been planning to switch bodies, Sukuna."
Yuji Itadori's heart lurched. His entire body froze, and he even forgot to suppress Sukuna within him.
He shouted at Hajime Kashimo,
"What did you say? What is Sukuna planning to do?!"
Hajime Kashimo looked at Yuji Itadori with a sneer. "Looks like you really don't remember anything. Is the Binding Vow's effect really that good?"
"Remember what?"
"Your agreement with Sukuna, of course."
The conversation between the two made Jie Jian, who had been planning to watch the show from the sidelines, break out in a cold sweat.
He did not mind being an onlooker, leaking some information to the people in the story and watching their shocked reactions.
But wasn't it a little dangerous to hold a face-to-face exposé right in front of Sukuna?
Sukuna was not as magnanimous as ordinary characters.
It would be a shame if they pushed him too far and he came out to kill him. Jie Jian still wanted to see Hajime Kashimo battle the Sendai Four Heavenly Kings.
After Hajime Kashimo's reminder, Yuji Itadori fell into deep thought.
He vaguely remembered Sukuna saying a few heartfelt words to him after the Juvenile Detention Center Incident.
To come back to life, Sukuna had made some kind of agreement with him.
But he could not remember what the agreement had been at all.
So many days had passed that Yuji Itadori had nearly forgotten about it.
But Hajime Kashimo's reminder brought it back to his mind.
Yuji Itadori looked solemnly at Hajime Kashimo.
"What exactly do you know? Tell me everything!"
It was no wonder Yuji Itadori was anxious. Sukuna had caused far too much harm to him and to this world.
He had to find out what Sukuna was secretly planning in order to stop him!
Faced with Yuji Itadori's commanding interrogation, Hajime Kashimo did not get angry for once.
Without a care, he repeated what Jie Jian had told him during the day.
As Yuji Itadori listened to Hajime Kashimo describe the "Binding Vow" between himself and Sukuna, his face turned pale and he took a step back.
Though he had subconsciously forgotten those memories due to the Binding Vow, that did not mean they had truly vanished from his mind!
They had merely been buried deep within Yuji Itadori's memories.
After Hajime Kashimo reminded him, those memories hidden in the depths of his mind surfaced before Yuji Itadori once more.
He cried out blankly, "I remember now! I remember everything!"
At the same time, Sukuna's heart sank completely within Yuji Itadori's body, and his last trace of hope vanished.
Those two really did know about the agreement between him and Yuji Itadori!
That was impossible!
He had made that agreement with Yuji Itadori within his own Innate Domain. How could outsiders know about it?
He glowered at the harmless-looking Jie Jian behind Hajime Kashimo.
"Kid, you know quite a lot. Where did you get that information?"
Faced with the questioning of Sukuna, the King of Curses, Jie Jian gave an awkward yet polite smile.
"Hehe, if I said I guessed it all, would you believe me, Lord Sukuna?"
Obviously, Sukuna did not believe such nonsense.
Or rather, who would believe it?!
His guesses were a little too accurate!
Hajime Kashimo looked gleefully at the angry Sukuna.
"Sukuna, hurry up and switch bodies. If you wait any longer, it'll be too late."
Before Sukuna could speak, Yuji Itadori covered the mouth Sukuna had grown on the back of his hand.
"Don't even think about it! Sukuna, I'll never let you hurt another person!"
The Binding Vow between Sukuna and Yuji Itadori left plenty of room for maneuvering.
A Binding Vow was not something that could not be avoided entirely. At its core, it was a word game.
As long as someone was willing to study it, they could find loopholes in a Binding Vow and use special methods to avoid its dangers.
Once the jujutsu world learned the details of the Binding Vow between Sukuna and Yuji Itadori, they could completely impose another Binding Vow on Yuji Itadori through other means, preventing Sukuna from switching bodies during that one minute.
And leaving distant possibilities aside, the first condition for Sukuna to take control of Yuji Itadori's body was saying the word "Enchain."
As everyone knew, speaking required a mouth.
As long as Yuji Itadori focused, he could completely suppress Sukuna's consciousness within his body, leaving him no chance to speak!
If Sukuna could not speak, he would have no chance to say "Enchain," nor would he have a chance to switch bodies.
Feeling Yuji Itadori's suppression, Sukuna's spiritual power grew weaker and weaker. The mouth on the back of Yuji Itadori's hand was about to disappear.
Through Yuji Itadori's eyes, he glowered at Jie Jian.
It was this person before him who had completely ruined his plans!
Yuji Itadori felt Sukuna's consciousness gradually fading within him. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a gloomy voice rang beside everyone's ears.
"Enchain!"
Hajime Kashimo's spirit jolted!
He sensed a cold, evil cursed energy spreading through the air.
His eyes fixed on Yuji Itadori before him, and the corners of his mouth stretched wide in an instant.
"Hahaha! Sukuna, you've appeared!"
Choso suddenly turned around. His once cute and gentle younger brother had completely vanished.
In his place stood Sukuna, black markings covering his face and an evil aura emanating from him!
"Sukuna! Get out of my brother's body!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Choso charged straight at Sukuna.
He did not use Blood Manipulation, because the body before him belonged to Yuji Itadori, and he was afraid of hurting him.
Hajime Kashimo attacked at the same time.
But he had no intention of holding back. His cursed energy erupted at full force as he mercilessly struck toward Sukuna.
Sukuna coldly watched Choso and Hajime Kashimo rush toward him.
"Dismantle!"
In the next instant, Sukuna unleashed his slashing technique. Powerful slashes burst outward from him in every direction!
Sensing the power of the slashes, both men's expressions changed, and they hurriedly leaped aside to evade them.
Watching the two dodge, Sukuna secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
According to the "Enchain" Binding Vow between Sukuna and Yuji Itadori, during the one minute he controlled Yuji Itadori's body, he could neither kill nor harm anyone!
His slashes had merely been meant to force Choso and Hajime Kashimo back. He gambled that neither of them would truly take his slashes head-on.
Taking advantage of the moment Choso and Hajime Kashimo retreated, Sukuna raised his right hand, grabbed the little finger of his left hand, and yanked hard.
All of Sukuna's power within Yuji Itadori gathered in Yuji Itadori's little finger.
Sukuna's soul and power were remade into a cursed object.
The next moment, Sukuna flashed forward and appeared directly before Jie Jian.
He grabbed Jie Jian by the jaw and lifted him off the ground.
Looking at Sukuna so close before him, as well as the little finger in his right hand, Jie Jian suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Wait! What are you doing?! Don't you want Megumi Fushiguro's body? How did you end up coming for me?!"
