Kenjaku's Helplessness, a Scheme Gone Bankrupt! As the curse was killed.
Tsumiki Fushiguro, who had been asleep for an entire year, quickly woke up.
The first thing she said upon opening her eyes was, "An unfamiliar ceiling!"
Classic.
Only then did she notice her surroundings.
"Huh? What's going on? Why am I in a hospital?"
"Didn't I just stay up a little late and sleep in?"
Tsumiki Fushiguro had no idea what had happened to her.
She only knew that she had gone to sleep, then somehow ended up in a hospital.
Could I have slept myself sick?
When she turned her head, she saw Ronawa sitting beside her bed.
She did not know Ronawa and had never met her before.
Yet that did not stop her from taking a great liking to Ronawa in a very short time.
Her looks were simply unbeatable; her character design was utterly authoritative.
Then she noticed Megumi Fushiguro behind Ronawa, already crying with excitement.
That brought Tsumiki Fushiguro back to her senses. "Megumi, why are you crying?"
"What exactly happened?"
After some explanations, Tsumiki Fushiguro finally understood what had happened to her.
When she learned that she had been asleep for a full year,
she was quite frightened as well.
But she quickly suppressed that fear and turned to comfort Megumi Fushiguro instead. "It's okay, Megumi. Haven't I already woken up?"
"And I feel great right now. I'm full of energy."
Watching Tsumiki Fushiguro comfort Megumi Fushiguro first thing after waking up,
even Ronawa could not help but sigh.
What a gentle person.
No wonder Megumi Fushiguro had completely gone mad after Tsumiki Fushiguro met with disaster in the original story.
They were simply too important to each other.
To Megumi Fushiguro, Tsumiki Fushiguro was not merely his older sister.
She was his only family in the world, and the only person who loved him without reservation.
Because of their unusual backgrounds, Megumi Fushiguro and Tsumiki Fushiguro had actually been without parental care from a very young age.
Satoru Gojo had always supported them, while Tsumiki Fushiguro took care of Megumi Fushiguro.
Saying she had acted as both father and mother would not be an exaggeration.
That was precisely why their bond ran so deep.
It was also why Megumi Fushiguro had directly lost his mind after Tsumiki Fushiguro met with disaster.
He did not resist Sukuna's possession at all.
His sister was dead, he no longer wanted to live, so he simply gave up.
Now that Ronawa had saved Tsumiki Fushiguro,
Sukuna would never have such an easy time possessing Megumi Fushiguro again as he did in the original story.
Megumi Fushiguro would definitely resist with everything he had.
That also meant Ronawa had changed the plot yet again.
But she did not care.
Because from the very moment she was born,
the original plot had already been completely shattered.
Soon, after confirming that Tsumiki Fushiguro's body was fine,
the two siblings solemnly thanked Ronawa once again.
Then they prepared to leave the hospital.
Meanwhile,
far away in Aokigahara Forest, Kenjaku
suddenly stopped walking.
A trace of helplessness flashed through his eyes.
"The cursed seal was killed. It seems she took action."
"What rotten luck. How did this end up in front of her?"
As the one who had placed the cursed seal on Tsumiki Fushiguro,
Kenjaku naturally could not fail to notice its disappearance.
When you encounter ads such as "Are you Mahito?", simply ignore them and close them. Do not scan any codes or send text messages!
The moment he sensed that the cursed seal had been killed, he immediately guessed who had done it.
Other than Ronawa, no one else could have accomplished this.
Not even Satoru Gojo.
Only Ronawa's absurd "Kill" technique could do such a thing.
Without a doubt, this affected Kenjaku's plans.
Tsumiki Fushiguro had been a victim he had carefully selected.
For the Culling Game, Kenjaku had prepared for a very, very long time and made far too many arrangements.
And among them, Tsumiki Fushiguro was extremely important.
Not only because Tsumiki Fushiguro was Yorozu's Incarnated Vessel,
but also because Tsumiki Fushiguro was Megumi Fushiguro's older sister.
And Megumi Fushiguro was the Incarnated Vessel Kenjaku had prepared for Sukuna!
Many people thought that Yuji Itadori was the Incarnated Vessel Kenjaku had prepared for Sukuna.
In truth, both Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro were.
Either one could become the Incarnated Vessel Sukuna would occupy after his revival.
And precisely because this concerned Sukuna's future resurrection,
Megumi Fushiguro and Tsumiki Fushiguro were both so important.
They were foreshadowing deliberately arranged by Kenjaku.
In the original story, that foreshadowing had indeed served its purpose.
Yorozu occupied Tsumiki Fushiguro's body, and Tsumiki Fushiguro's death completely drove Megumi Fushiguro into a self-destructive state of surrender.
That allowed Sukuna to take over his body smoothly.
Otherwise, Sukuna could only have struggled with Yuji Itadori for control of the body.
To some extent, Megumi Fushiguro was even more important to Kenjaku's plan than Yuji Itadori.
But now, with Ronawa's intervention,
that piece of foreshadowing had been completely erased.
Sukuna could still occupy Megumi Fushiguro's body in the future.
But when that happened, Sukuna would not be facing a Megumi Fushiguro who had given up, offered no resistance, and surrendered outright.
He would be facing a Megumi Fushiguro who would fight desperately for control of his body and would not hesitate to perish together with him.
There were far too many more variables now.
At that thought, even Kenjaku felt a sharp ache in his brain.
This was too damn difficult.
Damn Ronawa, why would she not fall for his smooth talk?
If Ronawa had been willing to listen to him, would there be so much trouble?
He could have long since swept everything aside with Ronawa at his side.
In the end, Kenjaku could only sigh.
There was no helping it. He could only alter his plans as much as possible according to the current situation.
But before that, he had to finish what he was doing now.
"Special-Grade Curse Hanami, I hope you won't disappoint me!"
That was right. Kenjaku had come to Aokigahara Forest for one reason only.
He had come to recruit the Special-Grade Curse Hanami!
After some persuasion,
Hanami was successfully convinced by Kenjaku and joined the team.
At this point, half of the Four Calamities had been assembled.
Yet even so, Kenjaku was not happy in the slightest.
"Although we currently have two Special-Grade Curses, our strength is still at a disadvantage."
"With only our current strength, there is no way we can defeat those jujutsu sorcerers."
"If only Ronawa were here!"
Kenjaku sighed like that.
He truly wished Ronawa could stand on his side.
As for Hanami, she was extremely curious about Ronawa.
She had not seen Ronawa in person, but she had learned of her strength from Jogo.
Ronawa was someone whom even a self-important fellow like Jogo feared from the depths of his soul.
Hanami truly wanted to meet such a curse.
At the same time, she wanted to have a proper talk with Ronawa.
It would be even better if she could recruit Ronawa into their camp!
In Hanami's view, they were all curses, natural allies.
They should unite and fight against those damned humans.
