Sukuna watched Uraume nervously and swallowed.
Perhaps because of his experiences a thousand years ago, he could tell that although Uraume was furious with him, there was none of the malice one would show an enemy.
If he really had been the Little Fox Sukuna had raised a thousand years ago, then Uraume was his companion-from Uraume's perspective, his earlier refusal to revive Sukuna really was infuriating.
He hurried to explain.
"Um... when I said I wouldn't revive Sukuna earlier, I was lying to that Kenjaku!"
"I was thinking... reviving Sukuna is our own business. We could take our time sorting it out afterward-but that Kenjaku clearly wasn't a good person. He wanted me to eat all the Fingers, and I felt I absolutely couldn't let him have his way, so I only pretended I wouldn't eat them..."
"But even without a binding vow, I would still revive Sukuna... really!"
"I also... kind of want to meet him."
As he listened to Little Fox's explanation, Uraume's expression softened.
Although Little Fox's earlier behavior had truly angered him, at least the outcome was good.
His impression of Little Fox was still rooted in a thousand years ago. Back then, he had practically raised Little Fox single-handedly, and Little Fox's devotion to Lord Sukuna had been beyond reproach.
In his eyes, Little Fox was "one of us."
He wouldn't truly stay angry with him after all.
"Understood."
He spoke calmly.
"Revive Lord Sukuna within a week... I'll prepare everything he will need after his revival. You're coming with me."
...Huh?
Sukuna froze.
Wait, was Uraume planning to take him away?
He immediately shook his head with swift, vigorous determination!-
"No, I'm not going! I still have to go back to Jujutsu High to watch my shows!"
Uraume: "...?"
*...What are you going
