Uraume looked at Sukuna's extraordinarily expressive face, bewildered.
No... what was going on...?
This person... was nothing like his master, Lord Sukuna...?
Although he did have Lord Sukuna's cursed energy and had just used Dismantle and flames, still...
He frowned. He had followed Lord Sukuna since childhood and knew his temperament well. Although Lord Sukuna seemed to have lost his memories, even amnesia couldn't have made him act like this...
This person definitely wasn't Lord Sukuna!
Could it be...?
A possibility suddenly flashed through his mind, startling him.
Could Lord Sukuna have... succeeded?
Something so utterly fantastical-he had thought it was nothing more than an impossible delusion... yet it had actually come true?!
He immediately looked at the "Sukuna" before him-

Especially his expressions. That figure sprang effortlessly to mind-
He instinctively stared at the "Sukuna" before him and murmured under his breath.
His voice was soft, but everyone present clearly caught those words-
"...Little Fox...?"
Little Fox...?
Kenjaku paused. When he realized Uraume had said those words while looking at Sukuna opposite them, he froze for a moment, then abruptly turned toward Sukuna, a trace of astonishment appearing on his face as well.
Sukuna looked at Uraume in surprise, then his face lit up with delight-
Uraume... actually knew about the little fox he'd raised?!
Even Uraume hadn't known about that! As expected of his die-hard fan-he really was something else!
He immediately looked at Uraume with excitement.
"You actually know about the little fox I raised?"
When Uraume had said earlier that he knew nothing about it, Sukuna had wondered whether it had only been a dream and the little fox was just something he'd imagined.
Now, hearing those words from Uraume
