Sukuna woke after the battle and discovered that Little Fox had died, while Uraume was barely alive. Too injured to save either of them or escape, Sukuna sensed scavenging Sorcerers approaching and faced their imminent arrival helplessly.
After Little Fox dies, Sukuna accepts The Fallen’s warning, joins Uraume in slaughtering the Sorcerer families, and vows to kill every Sorcerer in the world. On the seventh day, as Sukuna mourns beside Little Fox’s body, one of their ears twitches.
Little Fox revived after Sukuna used Reverse Cursed Technique, but fainted when he saw the strange mask covering part of Sukuna’s face. Sukuna rejoiced at having him back, while Uraume learned that Little Fox had awakened.
Little Fox woke to find Sukuna still wearing a frightening mask, but Sukuna suppressed the Fallen’s power and made the mask crumble away. Delighted to see his handsome face restored, Little Fox showed Sukuna exactly which appearance it preferred, and Uraume suggested they eat.
Sukuna abandoned his plan to head for Kyoto and took Little Fox sightseeing instead, where he secretly helped them catch a haul of fish. Away from Little Fox, Sukuna briefly let The Fallen surface before suppressing him again, leaving The Fallen trapped and furious.
Uraume noticed Little Fox’s second tail was gone, and Sukuna took the fox and Uraume to Kyoto after the family that had pursued him was destroyed. With the family’s stolen riches, they checked into a fine inn and explored town, while Sukuna savored his newfound freedom.
Sukuna took Little Fox and Uraume to an ordinary eatery, where Little Fox sampled the food, enjoyed a sweet grain wine, and drank the whole bottle. When the drunk fox tried to buy more, Sukuna and Uraume convinced it the wine was sold out, leaving it tearfully mourning the last of its drink.
Sukuna and Uraume dealt with a gang that tried to rob them, then used the gang’s supply network to buy ingredients for the Little Fox. After Sukuna cooked a lavish dinner, the Little Fox ate its fill and felt like the happiest fox in the world.
Little Fox caught a cold after sleeping away from Sukuna and had to take bitter medicine. Sukuna coaxed it into drinking the medicine by promising Su, and Little Fox ended the morning happily eating its treat while still crying.
Sukuna took Little Fox and Uraume to buy a warm blanket, where Little Fox secretly chose a white women’s kimono as a gift for Sukuna. Though he was horrified by the gift, Sukuna kept it to spare Little Fox’s feelings and decided he could use it to wrap the fox later.
Little Fox Noroi woke from the memory screen embarrassed by his past and learned that Sukuna had turned himself into a cursed object after Noroi died. Worried about conflict between Sukuna and his present-day companions, Noroi asked Sukuna not to kill anyone, and Sukuna agreed to spare anyone Noroi wanted spared.
Little Fox asked Sukuna to protect his friends, restore Yuji’s body, honor the binding vow, and cut ties with Kenjaku, and Sukuna agreed. Sukuna then asked Little Fox to become a fox again, but Little Fox fell asleep as the White Light Orb appeared, leaving Sukuna suspicious that a deity might be involved.
Little Fox discovered the memories behind its rebirth and learned why it had lost its memories. Sukuna reunited with it after a thousand years and vowed never to let it leave his side again.
Little Fox reunited with Sukuna, learned they could communicate telepathically, and discovered they still needed to find a suitable body for it. It returned to Yuji in the Inner World, reassured him that Sukuna was friendly, and prepared to show him what was happening outside.
Sukuna returned to control and reunited with Uraume, then Little Fox unexpectedly appeared as a small white fox outside the Inner World. Gojo learned how to hear Little Fox’s thoughts, but Sukuna exposed Gojo’s trick and warned Little Fox not to play with him.
Gojo searched for a suitable body so Sukuna could leave Itadori’s body, but the gathered death row inmates were all unsuitable. Little Fox revealed a comatose boy named Bai Li, whose body proved compatible with Sukuna and Little Fox’s cursed energy.
Sukuna used Bai Li’s body to complete his incarnation, choosing to restore his handsome former appearance at Little Fox’s request. With Sukuna revived and reunited with his beloved fox, the group prepared to get food while Gojo demanded compensation for the ruined clothes.
Itadori brought Little Fox to Jujutsu High, where the students gathered to welcome him and meet Sukuna and Uraume. Little Fox possessed Sukuna’s body to greet everyone, but tripped and fell as he ran toward Nobara.
Little Fox Noroi returned to the group, tripped over his kimono hem, and was greeted with laughter and affection before joining everyone for food and photos. As the gathering continued, Megumi, Nobara, and Junpei found plenty of gossip and ships to enjoy.
After the group celebrated, Little Fox discovered it could still eat while in fox form, with Yuji feeding it around the party. Sukuna resisted Gojo’s invitation to join Jujutsu High but received everyone’s contact details, leaving open the possibility of bringing Little Fox back for visits.
Gojo and Sukuna discussed finding Kenjaku and using the Prison Realm, but Gojo realized Sukuna knew Little Fox's past memories and threatened to tell it. Little Fox interrupted their near-fight, then got upset when they stopped and went back for more fermented rice wine, prompting Sukuna to carry off the tipsy fox.
Gojo explained that Sukuna still faced some limits from the Binding Vow, then left to deal with Kenjaku while Okkotsu watched over the school. Sukuna cared for the tipsy Little Fox through the night, and they woke together before sharing breakfast with Uraume.
Sukuna learned that Gojo had named him an honorary professor at Jujutsu High, and Little Fox’s excitement persuaded him to accept the role. When Little Fox urged Itadori to demonstrate the Dismantle technique it had taught him, Sukuna intervened after realizing Itadori could no longer use it.
Sukuna reactivated Dismantle in Itadori’s body, and Itadori thanked him before returning to class with Little Fox. Sukuna accompanied Little Fox to the classroom, where Megumi Fushiguro continued teaching under Sukuna’s watchful gaze.
Megumi Fushiguro’s lesson was interrupted when Sukuna attended class under the name Bai Li, while Itadori and Little Fox struggled through English. The chapter ended with Sukuna indulging Little Fox and, in a future scene, revealing how easily he had learned English.
