The system's level truly could never keep up with how quickly his strength increased...
Yue Liusi shook his head. He was quite satisfied with the Rasengan the system had rewarded him with earlier.
The Rasengan was an exceptionally overpowered ninjutsu to begin with, possessing extreme destructive power and versatility. If other ninjutsu had an upper limit, then the Rasengan had unlimited room to grow.
As an attribute-free chakra ninjutsu, its ability to incorporate chakra of any attribute was already powerful enough, yet it could even undergo changes in nature, as with the Rasenshuriken.
There was actually no upper limit to this fusion, either.
Even Naruto had not developed the Rasengan all that far.
The five basic nature transformations went without saying, along with the Lava Release Rasengan, Magnet Release Rasengan, Tailed Beast Bomb Rasengan, Senjutsu Rasengan, and so on.
Not to mention Rasengan Uzuhiko, which harnessed the energy of a planet's rotation.
Taking Yue Liusi as he was now, he could even incorporate his Lava Release killing move, "Merciful Sun," into the Rasengan.
It simply had not been necessary against Yuta Okkotsu.
He could actually develop the Rasenshuriken himself, too, but since the system was giving it to him, he would not have to go to that trouble.
"It's not over yet."
Naturally, the battle could not end like this.
"You still have another cursed technique, don't you?"
"This way, everyone can accept it."
Yue Liusi spoke with a light chuckle.
Yuta Okkotsu naturally knew what Yue Liusi meant.
"You mean... I understand, Yue."
He nodded, stood up, and summoned Rika. Not much time had passed since the battle began, so the shikigami still had plenty of time left.
"Let's do this, Rika."
The two put some distance between them. Yuta Okkotsu began gathering cursed energy, purple light converging on his fingers as the cursed energy continued to gather and compress.
Yue Liusi watched with interest.
He wanted to experience the power of the so-called "Pure Love Cannon," too.
Just then, as he was about to mobilize his chakra, something suddenly occurred to him.
Right!
A cannon? I have one, too!
As Yue Liusi raised his hand, a phantom of the Nine Tails appeared behind him to one side. Its enormous head bared ferocious fangs as terrifying chakra gathered in its mouth!
Nine-Tails Tailed Beast Bomb!
Powerful enough to destroy a city, this was undoubtedly a world-shattering strike.
This was currently Yue Liusi's most destructive move, with the widest range of devastation.
It certainly qualified as a cannon!
But then something else occurred to Yue Liusi.
Wait, if we clash head-on like this...
Okkotsu will die, won't he?
He'll definitely die.
He shook his head and had no choice but to abandon the idea.
In that case, let's test the results of combining Reverse Cursed Technique with medical ninjutsu.
The Nine Tails phantom dissipated, and even his chakra mode was deactivated along with it. Yue Liusi did not use so much as a trace of chakra to reinforce his body.
Despite his formidable combat strength, his physical defenses in his current state were not absurdly high.
He would take this attack using only his self-healing ability!
On the other side, Yuta Okkotsu also sensed that heart-pounding presence disappear and immediately understood Yue Liusi's intentions.
Naturally, he would not deliberately reduce his cursed energy output or anything of the sort.
He trusted Yue Liusi.
As his cursed energy gathered to its limit, the Pure Love Cannon poured forth!
Boom-
Purple energy exploded, smoke and dust filling the air. When the dust cleared, no one remained where Yue Liusi had been standing.
Yuta Okkotsu paid it no mind, merely glancing at everyone watching.
Then he turned and left.
Had Yuta Okkotsu won?
No, everyone knew the outcome.
Everyone also knew this had merely been a performance.
But this was their last chance, and their last way to back down gracefully.
At the very least, things would not look too ugly on the surface.
The smart ones naturally knew what to choose. As for the stubborn ones...
Naturally, others would deal with them.
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
"That bastard..."
Kenjaku's expression was dark, his feelings difficult to put into words.
For him, the top priority was the Culling Game, so naturally, he could not possibly go to the Kyoto battlefield in person.
That had merely been a clone created by splitting off his own power using a Special Grade Cursed Spirit's cursed technique.
But the crucial point was that the clone had taken nearly 90% of his strength!
After all, he had intended to reap the spoils of their conflict and eliminate a potential threat.
Now that the clone had perished, the number of cursed spirits his main body controlled had even dropped to double digits. He could not use Domain Expansion for some time, and both his body and mind had suffered severe damage, drastically reducing his strength.
Now, even a random Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer would probably put him in a fight for his life.
He had really lost everything on this trip...
As the affair drew to a close and the great battle ended, only the patter of falling raindrops remained between heaven and earth.
The fine rain fell steadily, silently nourishing all things.
"Not bad."
In an empty alley, a familiar voice quietly rang out.
It was none other than Yue Liusi.
Although his clothes were somewhat torn and the rain had soaked him through, he looked completely unscathed.
He was satisfied with his healing ability.
While taking the full damage of the Pure Love Cannon from start to finish, he had healed as he was injured. The former simply could not keep pace with the latter.
And that was without any chakra reinforcing his body.
If he reinforced himself with Nine-Tails chakra as well, stacking the effects again, his self-healing ability would become even more terrifying.
Yue Liusi looked around.
He remembered having passed through here.
This place was far enough away that it had not been caught in the fighting, and the buildings were still reasonably intact.
As for the other area, ordinary people had long since been evacuated, making it a natural battlefield. And if anyone noticed such a massive commotion from the fighting, how would it be explained...?
A gas explosion, naturally.
In any case, as the Culling Game progressed, Jujutsu Society would no longer be a secret.
"Where's my umbrella?"
He had taken it from Shoko's home, after all. He had to return it.
After searching to no avail, Yue Liusi felt somewhat helpless.
Just as Yue Liusi was about to use chakra to dry himself off, an unexpected figure quietly appeared ahead of him.
Yue Liusi raised an eyebrow.
"Shoko? What are you doing here?"
"It's still a little dangerous around here."
Even setting everyone else aside, that old schemer Kenjaku was very crafty. Yue Liusi had simply been one step ahead.
