Sukuna's New Vessel Candidate

"Fushiguro! Fushiguro!"

Yuji Itadori's cheering came from nearby.

Megumi Fushiguro turned his head stiffly. Yuji's face was filled with surprise and excitement.

"We won! We won! Big Brother Jie defeated him!"

He slapped Fushiguro on the body and dragged him toward the battlefield.

"Come on! Let's hurry over and see how Big Brother Jie is doing."

At the center of the battlefield.

Jie Jian lay weakly on the ground, unable to move at all.

The Technique Release of "Undying Thunder" transformed his flesh and blood into a special kind of lightning energy.

Under normal circumstances, Jie Jian would have died the moment the Technique Release ended.

But he had inherited Sukuna's Reverse Cursed Technique, and it was exceptionally effective at repairing the body!

Relying on the restorative effects of the Reverse Cursed Technique, Jie Jian had barely managed to regrow the parts of his body that had turned into lightning.

But the cost was still severe. At the moment, Jie Jian had only temporarily repaired the critical parts.

Many parts of his body had yet to be restored. Just about anyone could probably kill him right now.

At that moment, Yuji's voice came from not far away.

"Big Brother Jie, what happened to you?!"

Jie Jian strained to lift his head and saw Yuji, Fushiguro, and Panda running back from the other side of the ruined buildings.

He shook his head slightly.

"I'm fine. I just ran out of strength."

Yuji breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to say something, Jie Jian's next words cut him off.

"Get out of here first. I don't know whether Kenjaku will come back. If he does, we'll be in trouble!"

At the mention of Kenjaku, Yuji and the others shuddered and hurriedly nodded.

Of the three, the fluffiest Panda naturally took on the task of carrying Jie Jian.

He hoisted Jie Jian onto his back and immediately sprinted toward Jujutsu High.

The traces left behind by Jie Jian's battle were still extremely conspicuous.

In the distance, Kenjaku, who had already fled far from the battlefield, suddenly turned back.

Looking at the Thunder Breath that pierced through heaven and earth, he could not help crying out.

"What level of cursed energy is that? It's almost on par with Sukuna's, isn't it?"

Even Uraume, Sukuna's most loyal servant, had a trace of gravity flash through his eyes.

Although he had never believed anyone could compare to his master Sukuna, in terms of cursed energy alone, it really was nearly at Sukuna's level!

Kenjaku could not help thinking to himself.

"Could they really defeat Mahoraga?"

As Kenjaku thought about it, he began pondering the matter. Even the fish-like cursed spirit carrying him and Uraume subconsciously stopped.

Uraume shot Kenjaku, who seemed to be considering going back to take a look, a glare.

"Why did you stop?! Hurry up and go! I need to resurrect Sukuna as soon as possible!"

Kenjaku looked at Uraume helplessly.

"Hey, there you go being impatient again. Can't we even take a break?"

In the end, Kenjaku gave up on the idea of returning to check.

What if Jie Jian had failed to defeat Mahoraga?

Wouldn't going back just be walking right into Mahoraga's trap?

Forget it. Resurrect Sukuna first.

While controlling the fish-like cursed spirit, Kenjaku smiled and asked Uraume.

"Say, Uraume, don't be so anxious. Have you decided whose body Sukuna will use as a vessel for his reincarnation?"

Uraume paused slightly. He really had not considered that question.

Although any person could be used for reincarnation, this would be Sukuna's future body. How could he pick one casually?

If you encounter advertisements such as "Are you Mahito?", there is no need to pay attention to them. Just close them. Do not scan any codes or send text messages!

Uraume immediately began considering candidates for Sukuna's new body.

Judging from the situation when he arrived at the scene, Lord Sukuna had likely taken the initiative to pour his soul and power into Yuji's little finger.

That meant Lord Sukuna had intended to find another body for reincarnation.

After ruling out Yuji as an impossible choice, only Panda, Fushiguro, and that lightning user, Jie Jian, had been present.

Panda was not human and could not serve as a vessel for reincarnation.

And Jie Jian had probably never met Lord Sukuna before. Logically, Sukuna would not choose him.

That seemed to leave only one possibility!

Did Lord Sukuna want to use Megumi Fushiguro's body for reincarnation?

Seeing Uraume fall into deep thought, Kenjaku smiled and nodded.

"That's right. Think carefully about a candidate for Sukuna's body first. It won't be too late to resurrect him once you've decided."

Two and a half hours later.

Jujutsu High, infirmary.

Shoko Ieiri, who had originally been resting, was suddenly summoned over.

Looking at Jie Jian lying on the hospital bed, Shoko Ieiri asked doubtfully.

"This is?"

"This is Jie-chan. He got hurt and isn't feeling too well. He might need Shoko-chan's help with treatment."

Panda hurriedly introduced him from the side.

Because Yuji's identity was rather sensitive and the people at Jujutsu High had objections to him, it was inconvenient for him to return to Jujutsu High so casually.

So Yuji did not return to Jujutsu High with them. After escorting Panda to the entrance of Jujutsu High, he and Fushiguro went back to Tokyo No. 1 Colony to look for Angel, Hana Kurusu.

Panda quietly gave Shoko Ieiri a heads-up.

"It's just that Jie-chan's injuries are pretty serious, so he might be difficult to treat."

Shoko Ieiri did not ask further questions and casually waved her hand.

He was just an injured sorcerer. She had treated countless sorcerers over the years. What kind of injury had she not seen?

However, the instant she began examining him, Shoko Ieiri cried out.

"Holy shit! How are you still alive?"

Jie Jian's injuries were far too severe. There was not a single patch of uninjured flesh on him, and his entire body was covered in electrical burns.

Shoko Ieiri nearly lost it after one glance. She had genuinely never seen anyone with injuries this serious!

At that moment, Jie Jian on the hospital bed laboriously opened his eyes.

"You don't need to worry too much about me. These are side effects from using my technique. A mere fatal injury isn't a problem.

Once my cursed energy recovers, I can use Reverse Cursed Technique to heal myself. Doctor Ieiri, just patch me up however you can."

At the words "Reverse Cursed Technique," Shoko Ieiri's gaze sharpened slightly.

Within Jujutsu Society, Reverse Cursed Technique could be considered an extremely advanced skill.

There were probably fewer than five people in all of Jujutsu Society who could use it. She had not expected the person before her to possess it.

Shoko Ieiri nodded in relief.

Since Jie Jian had said so himself, she no longer felt much pressure.

After roughly treating Jie Jian from head to toe, Shoko Ieiri wiped the sweat from her forehead and pulled Panda into a corner.

She glanced at Jie Jian and asked Panda about his background.

Panda immediately began enthusiastically introducing Jie Jian to Shoko Ieiri.

When she heard that Jie Jian had defeated Mahoraga, Shoko Ieiri's eyes widened completely!

"You mean he defeated Mahoraga?!"

"Yeah!" Panda nodded excitedly and spoke with a face full of admiration. "Jie-chan is seriously amazing! I still can't forget that Thunder Giant Bear!"

Shoko Ieiri took one last look at Jie Jian on the hospital bed and thought to herself.

The newcomers these days are getting stronger and stronger. Every one of them is like a monster. Even Gojo might not be better than him, right?

Gojo... if you ever wake up and see these people, I wonder what you'll think.

While Jie Jian recuperated, Yuji and Megumi Fushiguro, who had gone to the No. 1 Colony, also encountered some good news.

They had finally found Angel, Hana Kurusu!
