Sukuna Revived

The words "Megumi Fushiguro" made Sukuna's already grim face darken even further.

"Who the hell are you? How do you even know about that?!"

Megumi Fushiguro had indeed been the next vessel Sukuna had secretly chosen.

After incarnating and reviving, he could possess the other person's technique. Sukuna had set his sights on Megumi Fushiguro's Ten Shadows Technique; choosing Jie Jian's body now was merely a last resort.

Of the three people present, Hajime Kashimo possessed Special Grade strength. Sukuna was not confident he could force him to swallow one of his fingers within a minute.

And like Yuji Itadori, Choso was a special lifeform created by Kenjaku.

Sukuna was not sure whether Choso, like Yuji Itadori, possessed the ability to completely suppress his soul.

So, to be safe, the only person Sukuna could choose was the harmless-looking Jie Jian standing in the back.

Suspended in the air, Jie Jian did not explain where his information had come from.

There was no way to explain something like transmigration, so he could only shout again.

"Don't underestimate my intelligence network!"

Sukuna's expression sank. "If you don't want to talk, then I'll see for myself!"

The incarnation technique allowed him to gain all of the vessel's memories. Sukuna had no time to waste; whatever he wanted to know, he could just look for himself.

The last of Sukuna's power controlling Yuji Itadori's body was about to vanish.

He had to complete his incarnation and revival before then!

Seeing Sukuna tear off Yuji Itadori's pinky finger, Choso shouted furiously.

"You bastard, what are you doing to Yuji?!"

With that, Choso rushed forward, intending to stop Sukuna's next move.

Choso was not worried about whether Jie Jian lived or died, but he knew Yuji Itadori would not want anyone getting hurt because of him.

As Yuji Itadori's big brother, Yuji Itadori's problems were his problems.

While Yuji Itadori was absent, he had to stop Sukuna in his place!

But not everyone thought that way.

Hajime Kashimo instantly blocked Choso's path and knocked him back with a single strike.

"Hey, hey, hey! Can't let you interrupt Sukuna's arrival!"

Although Hajime Kashimo did not dislike Jie Jian, compared to Sukuna, Jie Jian was far less important.

He only wanted to fight Sukuna. Now that Sukuna was about to truly revive, he naturally had no reason to stop it.

Seeing this, Jie Jian cursed loudly.

"Why, you damned Kashimo? You're just going to stand there and watch me die? Just you wait, next time I'll show you how I—"

Unfortunately, Jie Jian did not have time to finish his threat.

Sukuna grabbed his jaw and forced his mouth open, then brutally shoved his pinky finger into it.

Feeling the foreign object in his throat, Jie Jian knew he had swallowed Sukuna's Finger.

As his heart convulsed violently, Jie Jian felt his consciousness rapidly fading away.

Sure enough, he was not some protagonist like Yuji Itadori. He could not resist Sukuna's soul.

Before losing consciousness, Jie Jian raised his arm and swung it hard at Sukuna.

Sukuna had one hand gripping Jie Jian's jaw and the other feeding him the finger.

He had nowhere to dodge, so he took Jie Jian's heavy slap right across the face.

A sharp smack rang out from Sukuna's face, and his expression instantly turned even darker.

Jie Jian was delighted by the sight and laughed.

"Sukuna, you won this time! We'll fight again next time!"

Sukuna frowned at that.

What did he mean, this time and next time?

What the hell was he babbling about?

Sukuna had no time to keep guessing.

Although the minute was not yet up, the moment Jie Jian swallowed Sukuna's Finger, all of Sukuna's power within Yuji Itadori's body completely dissipated.

The next moment, Yuji Itadori regained control of his body, while Sukuna fully revived within Jie Jian's body!

The awakened Yuji Itadori looked at Sukuna before him and roared in fury.

"Sukuna! What did you do with my body?!"

Seeing another innocent person vanish because of him, Yuji Itadori was consumed by rage.

He unleashed all his cursed energy and charged straight at Sukuna, determined to kill the King of Curses.

Yet Sukuna was not paying attention to Yuji Itadori at all.

With a slight twist of his body, he evaded Yuji Itadori's attack.

At the same time, he kicked Yuji Itadori in the abdomen, sending him flying.

It was not that Sukuna had gone easy on him. His entire attention was focused on his own mind.

At that moment, something happened that Sukuna simply could not comprehend.

Normally, someone who incarnated and revived could fully acquire all the vessel's memories.

But what baffled Sukuna was that, in this body, he could only read memories beginning from today!

The earliest memory he could trace was of Jie Jian falling from the sky above the Culling Game barrier. Sukuna could not access even a single memory from before that!

"What the hell is this? What is wrong with this brat's body?!"

The flying Yuji Itadori was caught steadily by Choso.

"Go! Yuji, we need to retreat!"

He looked at Sukuna ahead in horror. Though he did not know why Sukuna's attacks had been so casual, he knew this was absolutely not the time to keep fighting him!

Choso remembered that Sukuna had now inherited the power of fifteen Fingers.

He had a clear understanding of his own strength.

If Jogo was equivalent to eight or nine of Sukuna's Fingers, then Choso was at most around six or seven, perhaps even less!

Since Sukuna had already revived in Jie Jian's body, there was no need to keep tangling with him.

They needed to retreat immediately and find help. That was the only way!

Unlike Choso, Hajime Kashimo was overflowing with fighting spirit.

He laughed as he looked at Sukuna. "Sukuna! I've been waiting for this day!"

The power radiating from Sukuna made Hajime Kashimo's heart tremble. He had no intention of holding back and instantly activated the ultimate move he could only use once in his life.

Technique Release: "Mythical Beast Amber"!

Hajime Kashimo's technique began reshaping his body. His strength and speed rose drastically in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, his body had completely surpassed the limits of humanity!

With a roar, he transformed into a "Pea Shooter" and charged directly at Sukuna.

As Sukuna pondered what exactly Jie Jian was, he sensed Hajime Kashimo's cursed energy and irritably raised his head.

"You're really annoying, brat."

The next moment, Hajime Kashimo collided with Sukuna, and a massive shockwave erupted from between them.

Feeling the two of them battling fiercely at the center, Choso grabbed Yuji Itadori again and ran outward.

"Go! While they're fighting, let's get out of here!"

Yuji Itadori was reluctant to leave, but Choso's next words changed his mind.

"We're no match for Sukuna! We need to rescue Satoru Gojo. Only he can stop Sukuna from hurting more people!"

Choso was right.

Yuji Itadori took a deep breath and cast one last unwilling glance behind him.

"I understand. We're going to revive Teacher Gojo!"
