Ze Zenin raised his left hand, absorbing the dark mass of feathers and birds.
Ultimately, these were all products of the cursed energy system, and as luck would have it... his Rinnegan had a mechanism that could absorb cursed energy.
At the very limit of his range, Ze Zenin had used Amenotejikara to swap places with Yu Haibara, effortlessly neutralizing Yugao's killing move.

"Something big?" Kento Nanami walked up beside Ze Zenin. "Does this concern Jujutsu Headquarters...?"
"That's right." Ze Zenin made no effort to hide it. "I imagine those guys must be absolutely furious by now."
"Heh, you really are a pragmatist, aren't you?"

"It's fine."
Ze Zenin smiled, then his eyes transformed, one red and one purple,
