With Sukuna using the public name Bai Li, Little Fox agreed to take a new name of its own: White Noroi. The chapter ended with Megumi Fushiguro being the first person to address it by that name, while everyone else kept using its old nicknames.
Little Fox settled into life at Jujutsu High as Bai Li while Sukuna kept him safe and indulged him. Nobara watched their affectionate interactions and left convinced she would have plenty of photos and sweetness to ship.
Sukuna searched Tokyo for Kenjaku while Gojo waited, then attacked and handed him over to Gojo before returning to Little Fox. He left Little Fox safe in his arms, with Kenjaku likely sealed inside the Prison Realm.
Gojo sealed Kenjaku in the Prison Realm and returned to Sukuna, where they changed their binding vow so Sukuna would bear the cost if Little Fox violated it. Sukuna left with Little Fox and the Human-Skin Mask, while Gojo realized he was jealous of their closeness.
Sukuna surprised Little Fox by wearing a mask that hid his Cursed Markings, then agreed to let it show him human-world amusements. Little Fox excitedly set off with Sukuna to tell Yuji and the others about their outing.
Little Fox tricked everyone into mistaking Sukuna for the fox, then arranged a group outing before Sukuna announced that they would move out of Jujutsu High. Sukuna showed Little Fox several upscale properties to choose from, leaving the fox stunned to learn they owned houses.
Little Fox chose an expensive modern house for Sukuna and celebrated becoming a fox with property. The next morning, Little Fox dressed in a new outfit and gathered with friends at Jujutsu High for a weekend outing.
Okkotsu asked Gojo whether he truly intended to resurrect Suguru Geto, whose anti-non-sorcerer ideology had made him a Jujutsu High enemy. Gojo admitted to himself that he had been avoiding the decision because he feared Geto would leave again and that he might have to kill him a second time.
Noroi decided to ask Sukuna about helping Gojo resurrect Geto, then focused on enjoying the outing with Itadori and the others. At the ice rink, Noroi borrowed Itadori’s body to teach Sukuna to skate, leaving Sukuna determined to find him a human body of his own.
Gojo spoke with Little Fox Noroi about Geto and resolved to bring his best friend back and make him stay. Before he could explain further, he received word that Jujutsu High’s cursed tool maker had gone missing, and he took Little Fox with him to investigate.
Little Fox Noroi used his immense cursed energy to activate a teleportation gate and entered it to find the missing cursed tool maker. He emerged at Jujutsu High twelve years in the past, in 2006.
On March 13, 2006, Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto headed to protect Riko Amanai before her assimilation with Tengen, debating whether they would honor her wishes. As they prepared to face the groups targeting her, a mysterious person in white fell out of the sky toward them.
Little Fox fell through a cursed tool door into another world, exhausted his cursed energy, and plunged from the sky until Geto saved him with a cursed spirit. He recognized Gojo and Geto, then made a remark that left Gojo ready to attack him.
White Noroi encountered a younger Gojo and Geto, who did not recognize him and were baffled by his claims about their shared past. His information about a protected cursed tool maker convinced Gojo that something was seriously wrong, and their confusion deepened when they saw his phone.
Gojo and Geto learned that White Noroi believed it was 2018, twelve years in their future, and suspected he might be a time traveler. Geto tested his story by asking for his student ID, but its genuine Jujutsu High mark left the two sorcerers worried that a powerful organization had sent him.
Geto examined White Noroi’s student ID and phone, and the photos of twenty-eight-year-old Satoru convinced him that White Noroi’s story was true. Gojo accepted Geto’s belief but was stunned to see White Noroi’s cursed energy rising to Grade 1 despite his Grade 3 ID.
Geto tried to learn how he had died, while White Noroi struggled to hide what he knew and Gojo misread his panic as an attempt to drive them apart. The chapter ended with White Noroi asking Gojo whether he had killed Geto, leaving both men confused by the other's reaction.
Geto explained that White Noroi had traveled from 2018 to March 2006 through a space-time cursed tool, arriving twelve years before his own time. White Noroi panicked at the thought of being separated from his friends, but Geto reassured him that they would help him find the tool and return.
White Noroi agreed to help Gojo and Geto with their mission in exchange for help finding the missing cursed tool maker. When Gojo challenged him to prove he was stronger, White Noroi revealed that a binding vow prevented him from attacking sorcerers or ordinary people.
White Noroi told Geto and Gojo about the future and demonstrated Reverse Cursed Technique, prompting Gojo to decide he wanted to learn it. As they headed to a mission site, Gojo chased White Noroi with a centipede while Geto watched them run around the nearby buildings.
White Noroi realized that his future-issued phone, bank card, and cash were unusable in the past, leaving him with barely over 1,000 yen. Geto told him to buy a snack nearby while he and Gojo finished their mission, and White Noroi was left broke again.
White Noroi borrowed money from Gojo and Geto after agreeing to teach them Reverse Cursed Technique, then revealed that Gojo’s future self called Geto his most important, one and only best friend. Gojo and Geto affirmed their friendship, while White Noroi kept eating and seeking more money.
White Noroi learned that the mission might involve fighting humans, so Geto and Gojo planned for him to focus on healing unless they faced curse users. When Bane, a curse user from Q, attacked them, White Noroi stepped forward to confront him after confirming his identity.
White Noroi defeated Bane and helped Geto and Gojo reach their mission target, Riko Amanai, after an explosion sent her falling from a building. Geto confirmed she was the girl they needed to protect for the next two days, while Gojo resolved to become faster and stronger than his student.
Geto and White Noroi rescued Kuroi and reunited her with Riko while Gojo sulked over missing the fight. Gojo provided White Noroi with a phone, then demanded he teach Reverse Cursed Technique, leaving White Noroi unsure how to explain a technique he did not truly know.
