Tick-tock.
Tick-tock.
Tick-tock.
" Yuji Itadori now has six fingers, plus the eight he received from the Jujutsu High two months ago, making a total of thirteen fingers."
Tick-tock.
Tick-tock.
"We can't wait any longer. If this continues, Igarashi Amaha might lose patience, and then he won't keep us around anymore."
Tick-tock.
Tick-tock.
"But... 19 fingers are not Sukuna's full strength... Facing Igarashi Amaha... can he really win?"
Tick-tock.
Tick-tock.
Tick-tock.
"I believe in Sukuna, we'll win. That bastard has been suffocating us. We've been searching for that last finger for so long with no progress. We can't wait any longer."
Tick-tock.
Tick-tock.
"In that case... time, place, where to choose..."
Tick-tock.
Tick-tock.
In the dim light of the night, bright red blood dripped incessantly onto the ground.
Kenjaku tossed aside the Cursed Spirit in his hand and slowly placed the finger he had just obtained in front of half of his face. "Seven days later, Tokyo, Shibuya! Remember to make it... chaotic there."
Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu Technical College.
Inside a first-grade classroom.
"Hey, hey, hey, Amaha- sensei, why are you asleep again?" Nobara Kugisaki shouted at Igarashi Amaha Tenba, who was fast asleep on the sofa.
"Ah~ what does a child know? I'm thinking." Igarashi Amaha yawned heavily and waved his hand impatiently.
"Ha?"
Ding ding ding.
Just as the three first-year students were arguing with Igarashi Amaha, a knock on the door interrupted them.
Megumi Fushiguro frowned, somewhat puzzled, and said, "They actually knocked on the door? Are there any people this polite in this Jujutsu High?"
Yuji Itadori was taken aback by this. "By the way, aren't you also from Jujutsu High?"
"Enter."
After receiving permission from Igarashi Amaha, the person outside gently opened the classroom door.
An elderly man with gray hair but a remarkably energetic appearance walked in.
Igarashi Amaha's eyes lit up when she saw him. "Ah, it's been a long time, Mr. Aman."
That's right, this is Mr. Aman, who has been by Igarashi Amaha's side since he was a teenager. Counting the time, it's been almost 15 years. The middle-aged man of the past now has gray hair.
"Yes, it's been a long time, sir." Aman bowed respectfully to Igarashi Amaha, then took out a file folder and handed it to him, saying, "Sir, this contains information about Ms. Igarashi Akemi and Mr. Igarashi Amaha 'Zhao Feng current situation."
" Igarashi Akemi? Is she a member of Amaha- sensei's family?" Yuji Itadori, somewhat puzzled upon hearing the surname.
Upon hearing the somewhat familiar name Megumi Fushiguro paused, then exclaimed in surprise, " Igarashi Akemi? Isn't she the head of the Igarashi Family who disappeared nearly 30 years ago?"
As Igarashi Amaha unpacked the document bag, she turned around and asked, "You know?"
"?"
Megumi Fushiguro looked puzzled. "You know about it too? I was right next to you when Gojo- sensei was talking about the Igarashi Family Clan, that's how I found out."
"Is that so? I didn't really pay attention, hahaha."
"... No matter what, they're still your relatives." Megumi Fushiguro said with a hint of helplessness.
Igarashi Amaha waved his hand dismissively, "I don't need those things. Although I am Igarashi Amaha, I am more than just Igarashi Amaha. As for those remnants of the Igarashi Family Clan, they are just fortunate enough to share my surname. This is already the greatest blessing bestowed upon them by heaven."
Splash!
The classroom door opened again, and Satoru Gojo strode in, grinning at Igarashi Amaha, "That's right, that's right, then why don't you take my surname, Gojo? Hahaha."
"Get lost," Igarashi Amaha cursed without even looking up.
The document bag was opened, Igarashi Amaha casually glanced at the photos before putting it back. She tossed it to Aman and instructed, "Never mind, there's nothing to see. Destroy it."
"But... they've already contacted the Aoki branch in Hua Capital, saying they want to see you..."
Boom!
A chilling aura suddenly erupted in the classroom. Igarashi Amaha's golden eyes were filled with endless indifference. "Tell them that cause and effect are cyclical and retribution is inevitable. The real Igarashi Amaha is already dead. The current me has nothing to do with them. If they don't want to die, they'd better stay there and behave themselves and stop bothering me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Igarashi Amaha disappeared from the classroom, leaving the others looking at each other in bewilderment.
Satoru Gojo took the file folder back from Aman, waved to the crowd, and the first-year students tactfully left the classroom.
Rooftop.
Igarashi Amaba lit a cigarette skillfully, held the chess piece with the word "Shi" engraved on it in his hand, and focused his eyes on the sky in the distance.
He wasn't wrong. The real Igarashi Amaha had already died when they abandoned the infant. Because of his death, He Liangchuan was able to take over this body. Perhaps it was fate's cruel joke that a Hua Capital soul was unexpectedly reborn in an infant with Hua Capital blood.
Inside the classroom, beside a tattered file folder, Satoru Gojo stared intently at the few sheets of white paper in his hand.
" Amaha's father... doesn't seem very strong..."
The man in the photo is wearing an elegant suit, seemingly attending some high-level meeting. He looks to be in his fifties, with a few strands of gray hair at his temples, but he exudes energy and has an exceptionally distinguished air.
Zhao Feng, a native of Hua Capital Tian City, is the head of the Zhao Clan family, a lineage holder of Jujutsu, Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer.
Igarashi Akemi, a green card holder in Hua Capital, is Zhao Feng's wife and a quasi -Special Grade Sorcerer.
Zhao Huangzhang, a native of Hua Capital Tian City, is the eldest son of Zhao Feng, the young patriarch of the Zhao Clan, and Grade 2 Jujutsu Sorcerer.
*According to a special Cursed Technique, in 1988, Zhao Feng, as the young patriarch of the Zhao Clan, went to Japan to discuss cooperation with the Igarashi Family Clan. During this time, Zhao Feng developed feelings for Igarashi Akemi, the current patriarch of the Igarashi Family Clan.
However, as the pillars of their respective families, their relationship was naturally forbidden. Later, despite her family's opposition, Igarashi Akemi resolutely decided to marry Zhao Feng. After understanding her family's determination, she abandoned her family for love and chose to run away. Of course, the Igarashi Family Clan would not tolerate such a disgrace. In order to capture the traitor, they spent most of their family's funds to hire Curse User and declared that they would find him alive or dead.
This escape lasted a full year, during which time Igarashi Akemi became pregnant. When passing through Kitano Village, in order to avoid capture, Igarashi Akemi chose to force herself to give birth. Then she made an unexpected decision: to use a newborn baby to divert the attention of the hired Curse User and buy them... precious time to escape.
Perhaps it was their last vestige of conscience that kept the child alive, so they gave him the surname Igarashi, hoping that when the family saw him, they would spare his life out of consideration for their bloodline.
His name is Igarashi Amaha.
Perhaps it was a blessing in heaven that they met; everything was ordained by fate. As for Ye, like the short life of a child, it was as if a lone leaf fell on the surface of a lake, creating a ripple, before sinking to the bottom, unnoticed and forgotten.
