Resurrection of Sukuna

The name Megumi Fushiguro made Sukuna's already dark expression even darker.

"Who the hell are you, to know a thing like that!"

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

He could inherit the target's cursed technique after taking flesh and resurrecting, and Sukuna had his eyes on Megumi Fushiguro's Ten Shadows Technique; choosing Jie Jian's body now was a last resort.

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

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

Sukuna wasn't sure if Choso possessed the same ability to completely suppress his soul as Yuji did.

Therefore, to play it safe, the only person Sukuna could choose was the harmless Jie Jian in the back.

Jie Jian, being held up by the scruff, did not explain the source of his intel.

Crossing over was hard to explain, so he could only shout once more.

"You really shouldn't underestimate my intelligence network!"

Sukuna's expression darkened. "If you won't tell me, then I'll look myself!"

The technique of taking flesh and resurrecting allowed one to access the body's complete memories, and Sukuna had no time left to waste; if he wanted to know anything, he could just look for himself.

Right now, Yuji's body was controlled by his final bit of strength, which would vanish immediately.

He had to complete his resurrection while he still had this time!

Seeing Sukuna tear off Yuji's pinky finger from the side, Choso shouted in fury.

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

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

Though Choso didn't care about whether Jie Jian lived or died, he knew Yuji would not want anyone to get hurt because of him.

As Yuji's older brother, Yuji's matters were his matters.

While Yuji was absent, he had to take Yuji's place and stop Sukuna's actions!

But not everyone thought that way.

Hajime Kashimo instantly blocked Choso's path and repelled him with a single blow.

"Hey, hey, hey, I can't let you interrupt Sukuna's descent!"

Although Hajime Kashimo didn't dislike Jie Jian, compared to Sukuna, his importance was far too low.

He just wanted a fight with Sukuna, and now that Sukuna was about to properly resurrect, he naturally had no reason to stop it.

Seeing this, Jie Jian cursed loudly:

"Damn you, crappy Kashimo, leaving me to die, huh? You just wait and see how I..."

Unfortunately, Jie Jian didn't have time to finish his harsh words.

Sukuna forcefully pried open his mouth and shoved his own pinky finger straight down his throat.

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

As a violent tremor coursed through his heart, Jie Jian felt his consciousness rapidly fading away.

Sure enough, he wasn't a protagonist like Yuji; was he really unable to resist Sukuna's soul?

Before his consciousness vanished, Jie Jian raised his arm and slapped fiercely toward Sukuna.

Since Sukuna currently had one hand gripping Jie Jian's jaw and the other feeding him the finger, he literally had nowhere to dodge backward and took Jie Jian's backhand right to the face.

A loud smack rang out from Sukuna's face, instantly making his expression even blacker.

Jie Jian was delighted by this and laughed aloud:

"Sukuna, you won this time! Let's fight again next time!"

Hearing this, Sukuna frowned.

What is this about this time and next time?

What kind of gibberish are you muttering?

Sukuna didn't have time to keep guessing.

Though the minute was not yet up, the moment Sukuna's finger was swallowed by Jie Jian, the power of Sukuna within Yuji completely dissipated.

The next instant, Yuji regained control of his body, and Sukuna completely revived inside Jie Jian's body!

Waking up, Yuji looked at Sukuna before him and shouted angrily.

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

Seeing another innocent person vanish because of him, rage surged in Yuji's heart.

Firing up his cursed energy to the max, he charged straight at Sukuna, determined to slay the King of Curses.

However, Sukuna's attention was not on Yuji at all.

With a gentle twist of his body, he dodged Yuji's attack.

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

It wasn't that Sukuna was showing mercy; it was because his attention right at that moment was entirely focused on his own brain.

Right now, something completely incomprehensible to Sukuna was happening.

Normally, someone who resurrected by taking flesh could completely access the memories of the body's vessel.

Yet to Sukuna's confusion, in this body, he could only read memories starting from today!

His earliest memories traced back no further than Jie Jian falling from the sky of the Culling Game barrier; anything further back, Sukuna couldn't read a single bit of!

"What the hell is this! What on earth is going on with this brat's body!"

The flying Yuji was steadily caught by Choso.

"Let's go, Yuji, fall back now!"

He looked in terror at Sukuna ahead. Although he didn't know why the opponent had attacked so casually, he knew this was definitely not the time to keep brawling with Sukuna!

Choso remembered that the current Sukuna had already 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, he himself was at most around six or seven, or even less!

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

Retreating quickly and finding allies was the sensible path!

Unlike Choso, Hajime Kashimo was brimming with battle intent right now!

He looked at Sukuna with a wild laugh, "Sukuna! I've been waiting for this day!"

The power radiating from Sukuna made Hajime Kashimo's heart race. Having no intention of holding anything back, he instantly triggered his one-time-use ultimate technique.

"Technique Release, Mythical Beast Amber!"

Hajime Kashimo's technique began to rewrite his flesh, and his strength and agility instantly received a massive boost. In just a split second, his body completely surpassed the realm of humanity!

He roared and transformed directly into a "peashooter", charging toward Sukuna.

Lost in thought over what the hell Jie Jian was, Sukuna felt the cursed energy coming from Hajime Kashimo and irritably raised his head.

"You're damn annoying, brat."

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

Feeling the two fiercely clashing at the epicenter, Choso grabbed Yuji and bolted outward again.

"Let's go! While they're fighting, we need to fall back!"

Yuji was somewhat reluctant to leave, but Choso's next words made him change his mind.

"We are no match for Sukuna! We're going to rescue Satoru Gojo—he is the only one who can stop Sukuna from hurting anyone else!"

Choso was right.

Yuji took a deep breath and cast one last reluctant glance.

"I understand. Let's go revive Teacher Gojo!"
