Outside Shibuya STREAM, at 9:32 p.m., the second minute of Ze Zenin's fight with Sukuna. (Their fight lasted only three minutes.)
Two spiky-haired figures darted through the bustling city streets, but neither spared a glance for the scenery.
Megumi Fushiguro was being driven back step by step by Zenin Shin. He watched his supposed "ancestor" as though facing a formidable enemy.
Looking at Shin, Megumi asked coldly, "Do you know why those two curse users brought you back?"
Shin smiled indifferently. "They merely used the information of my body and soul to turn me into a dagger in their hands, killing for them."
"And you can still act like this?" Megumi snapped. "You were the Zenin Clan's head! Are you willing to let curse users control you?"
"It doesn't matter."
Shin spread his hands nonchalantly. "From the moment I died alongside the Gojo Clan's head in the Imperial Duel four hundred years ago, I was no longer the clan head.
"Besides, my actions aren't my own right now. Can you understand that?"
An unreadable emotion flickered in Shin's eyes as he looked at Megumi. "Judging by how you use the Ten Shadows Technique, I doubt you could be someone outside the clan. In other words..."
"You must be my descendant!"
"Tell me, who is the Zenin Clan's head now?" Nostalgia colored Shin's gaze. "I imagine only someone with the Ten Shadows Technique can still inherit the position?"
Megumi's eyes flickered. He answered in a low voice, "The 27th Clan Head, Ze Zenin, leads the clan now. He's also my mentor."
"He's taught me how to use the Ten Shadows Technique since I was little, explaining every principle behind it."
"The Gojo Clan's head is my teacher at school."
"So that Ze Zenin's cursed technique is also the Ten Shadows Technique?"
