Sukuna

Then.

Kaneki remembered Tsumiki Fushiguro and asked, "What are you planning to do about Megumi Fushiguro's sister, Tsumiki Fushiguro?"

At that.

Everyone fell silent.

To be honest, they really hadn't decided how to handle Tsumiki Fushiguro's situation.

They'd had too little time.

Only one night had passed so far.

Kaneki could see that too. "There's no rush with her. Uro will stay hidden for a while longer."

"Send someone to keep an eye on her first, so she doesn't come into contact with Kenjaku without us knowing."

"All right."

Kiyotaka Ijichi nodded in agreement.

"What about later?" Kugisaki asked.

"How about..." Okkotsu, who had read the notebook, suggested, "we just separate Uro from her?"

That was the simplest, most practical method.

"Separate her..."

Kaneki murmured.

Seeing his expression, everyone could tell he had something else in mind.

Kugisaki asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Me..."

Kaneki replied, "Originally, I wanted to have Uro's Cursed Technique engraved into Tsumiki Fushiguro's brain before separating Uro from her."

"That way..."

Kaneki smiled. "Both siblings would be sorcerers. Wouldn't that be nice?"

"There are just too many unknowns involved."

Everyone was taken aback.

He was pretty kind, still thinking about getting Fushiguro's sister a Cursed Technique at a time like this.

"As for that..."

Kaneki took a sip of tea. "We can discuss it later. The most important thing right now is learning Soul Strike."

Without it.

They couldn't separate Uro's soul from her.

Now.

Everyone had more time. In the original story, only Itadori had learned Soul Strike, and he could also use Dismantle to sever souls.

They were starting earlier now.

In the future.

Perhaps more of them would be able to do it.

After that, everyone worked hard to grow stronger.

Yuki Tsukumo learned how to reverse a domain's internal and external conditions from Okkotsu.

Okkotsu learned Soul Strike from her.

Apart from Kugisaki, everyone was studying Soul Strike. Whether they could master it or not didn't matter. What if they managed it?

Kaneki, meanwhile, learned Barrier Technique from Tengen so he could open a domain.

At the same time.

He also had Tengen reposition the Emptiness Barriers, arranging them in overlapping layers.

That way.

If one Emptiness Barrier was dismantled.

They would automatically fall into the next Emptiness Barrier. What could Kenjaku possibly fight them with then?

This...

Was the advantage of knowing the future!

That afternoon.

Jujutsu Headquarters issued the same announcement as in the original story.

Upon hearing it.

Kaneki stopped studying and slowly stood up. "Where is Jujutsu Headquarters?"

"What are you going to do?"

Yaga asked.

"Send them to meet Mahito." Kaneki instantly activated his kakugan and answered with a smile.

"Mahito?"

Everyone exclaimed.

"You know where he is?" Kasumi Miwa asked, looking puzzled.

Of everyone there.

She alone hadn't picked up on the killing intent in Kaneki's words.

"Miwa."

Hearing that, Kasumi Miwa turned to Yū Shinji in confusion. He was just about to explain when Kaneki answered.

"Yes, I do."

?

Now it was Yū Shinji's turn to be confused.

"Idle Transfiguration involves the soul," Kaneki explained. "So..."

"After Kenjaku extracted his Cursed Technique and killed him, Mahito could remain in the passage to reincarnation."

"In other words..."

Kasumi Miwa gave an awkward smile and muttered, "Meeting Mahito means dying."

"Reincarnation really exists?"

Okkotsu asked curiously.

"Yes."

Kaneki nodded and dropped a shocking revelation. "Itadori's grandfather was the reincarnation of Sukuna's brother."

"Huh?"

Everyone was stunned.

Mai Zenin asked curiously, "Sukuna was a twin?"

"Yes."

Kaneki nodded. "Sukuna's mother suffered from starvation while pregnant with them, which led Sukuna to absorb his twin brother before he was born."

"No wonder..."

Kugisaki said, "he looks so strange."

His two faces and four arms were the result of absorbing his twin brother before birth.

"Then wouldn't Itadori have to call him his great-uncle?"

Kugisaki looked shocked.

The formal Japanese kinship term for Itadori's relationship to Sukuna was paternal great-uncle, while in Chinese it was shūgōng.

"That's right."

Kaneki confirmed it.

Yuki Tsukumo asked in surprise, "You can see the past too?"

"This was a scene from the future."

Kaneki explained, "Sukuna told Uraume himself. It's also why Itadori carries the same presence as Sukuna."

"It's only because Itadori has no Cursed Technique. Otherwise, he'd be another Sukuna."

"Why?"

Kugisaki asked.

"Because," Kaneki said, "Itadori has just as much potential as Sukuna!"

Hearing that.

Everyone froze, but after thinking about it, they understood.

Yuji Itadori had only been involved with Jujutsu Society for a few months-not even half a year.

And already.

He had reached the level of a Grade 1 Sorcerer.

As for Kaneki.

He had known about jujutsu since childhood and had been laying the groundwork for it all along.

That was why.

His progress had skyrocketed after he obtained his Cursed Technique, though the technique itself also played an undeniable role.

"Um..."

Momo Nishimiya sat on her broom, curiosity written all over her face. "Just how strong is Sukuna?"

They knew he was powerful.

But they had no real sense of how powerful.

"Hmm..."

Kaneki thought for a moment. "Let me put it this way."

"In the future, if Satoru Gojo doesn't know how to shrink his domain to the size of a basketball, every one of you will die!"

"Even if."

"Itadori can sever souls."

Simply reversing a domain's internal and external conditions wouldn't let it hold out for long inside Sukuna's domain.

Even one minute would be a stretch.

In that case.

After killing Satoru Gojo, Sukuna would still be able to open his domain and would be in good shape.

If Jujutsu High faced him.

They would die the moment they encountered him!

He wouldn't even need to enter his second form.

After hearing that, everyone's expression turned grave.

"Then..." Momo Nishimiya was even more confused. "How did he die?"

He was the strongest in history.

That meant no one had been stronger than Sukuna a thousand years ago, so there was no possibility of someone killing him.

Judging by Sukuna's Sokushinbutsu.

He hadn't been that old.

He looked roughly the same age as Satoru Gojo.

Her question echoed everyone's thoughts. They were all curious about how someone so powerful had died.

"Old age?"

Kasumi Miwa ventured.

As soon as she said it, she realized that dying of old age didn't match the Sokushinbutsu's appearance.

Kaneki pondered for a moment. "It probably had something to do with eating people."

"He liked eating people?!!!" Kasumi Miwa, Momo Nishimiya, and several others cried out.

"Prions?"

Shoko offered the term.

"That's right."

Kaneki nodded. "Perhaps the seed was planted during his mother's pregnancy, making Sukuna fond of eating people, especially women and children."

He had eaten too many people.

And developed a prion disease.

As everyone knew, Reverse Cursed Technique couldn't treat poisons, and prions naturally fell into that category too.

Kaneki was different, however.

With his Immortality Cursed Technique, no disease could kill him.

That eliminated that potential danger as well.

"All right."

Kaneki looked at everyone. "Keep going. I'll head out first."

"Do you have to kill them?"

Okkotsu asked.

If killing could be avoided, he would rather not do it. Otherwise, Satoru Gojo wouldn't have been the one to do it in the original story.

"If I don't kill them."

Kaneki looked at him. "Satoru Gojo will kill them once he gets out anyway. Rather than leaving it to him, I might as well do it."

"After all."

Kaneki smiled. "I'm the ghoul here!"

Afterward.

He turned down Okkotsu's request to accompany him and set off alone.

If Okkotsu left and Kenjaku came back.

The people here probably wouldn't escape unharmed.
