"Hanami... is dead."
Three or four hours had passed since Hanami left Kenjaku and the others. In the midst of everyone's silence, Kenjaku, who had been calculating the ti in his heart, suddenly spoke these words, instantly igniting the hearts of the Cursed Spirits present.
Especially Jogo.
Jogo's Mt. Fuji head instantly spewed a column of scalding magma skyward. Gritting his teeth, he quickly approached Kenjaku, grabbing Kenjaku's collar with one hand. If he weren't so short, he would surely have lifted Kenjaku off the ground.
"What are you saying, you bastard!!!"
Jogo glared ferociously at Kenjaku. Dagon and Mahito also slowly moved closer, surrounding Kenjaku.
Watching this scene, Kenjaku slowly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, sighing helplessly.
"What's the use of getting angry with ? I didn't kill Hanami. Hanami left so long ago and hasn't returned. Either she's dead or she's been captured. If you want to believe she was captured, that's fine; it's good to hold onto so hope, after all."
Kenjaku's words, neither too loud nor too soft, reached everyone's ears. Although Kenjaku had said before Hanami departed that abducting Itadori Yuji would not be an easy task, their arrogance ant they never imagined such a complete failure.
Jogo's hand, gripping Kenjaku's collar, loosened. His pupils dilated, and he stumbled back a couple of steps as if his soul had been snatched, softly muttering Hanami's na.
Mahito tilted his head slightly, deep in thought, while Dagon lowered his head slightly. Only the child nad Urau showed no sadness at Hanami's demise.
He simply took a step towards Kenjaku, looking up slightly, and said, "Kenjaku, don't forget the Binding Vow between us. You must revive Lord Sukuna. Even if the Binding Vow doesn't activate, I will personally kill you!"
Icy blue crystal particles slowly floated up from his outstretched palm. Even though he was still so distance from everyone present, they were still affected by his chill.
His na is Urau, a loyal servant who served Sukuna a thousand years ago. He was resurrected in the current world through incarnated possession. His Cursed Technique is "Ice Formation Cursed Technique," and his level of Jujutsu is extrely high.
Facing Urau's threat, Kenjaku maintained his arms-raised, surrendering posture, his face still bearing that half-smile and helpless expression.
"Don't worry, Sukuna's resurrection is a very important part of my plan. Even if you didn't make revive Sukuna, I would still try everything to bring Sukuna back. Moreover, for , reviving Sukuna is not a difficult task."
Itadori Yuji, as Sukuna's vessel, is unique, but if the goal is rely to have Sukuna incarnate and be resurrected, then Itadori Yuji is not the only option.
At this mont, Kenjaku was not flustered in the slightest. Perhaps it was because her original plan had been thrown into chaos by Chinatsu years ago, so now, the re inability to abduct Itadori Yuji was hardly significant.
She could accept it, and she had to accept it.
However, the fact that Itadori Yuji was abducted also made Kenjaku suspicious. She had a feeling that this "Chinatsu" was a bit off.
Because Itadori Yuji was a card she had carefully hidden. How could Chinatsu have known about the existence of this card? It was completely illogical. It's not like she could foretell the future.
At the back of Itadori's school.
Chinatsu's "Mirror Flower, Water Moon" had already been dispelled. Hanami, severely damaged, lay on the ground, practically on her last breath.
"Kill... kill ..."
Hanami's voice ca out in a stutter. Although Chinatsu hadn't tortured Hanami, she had accidentally unleashed a "Black Flash" within the domain, almost instantly killing Hanami.
"I said I didn't do it on purpose, do you believe ?"
"Kill... kill ..."
Listening to Hanami's stuttering voice, Chinatsu was a little helpless. If only human Reverse Cursed Technique could affect Cursed Spirits, she would have fully healed Hanami right now.
Chinatsu half-knelt beside Hanami, who was lying on the ground, and silently placed her hand on Hanami's body, channeling bits of Cursed Energy to help her self-recover.
Hanami was full of confusion, but Sister i i, who was nearby, only briefly pondered before realizing. She walked leisurely to Chinatsu's side, arms crossed.
"Is she for Geto?"
"Mm-hmm~"
Chinatsu snapped her fingers crisply, not giving a direct answer but one that was as good as an answer.
Although Geto Suguru specialized in physical combat, his Cursed Technique was "Cursed Spirit Manipulation." He tried his best to choose powerful Cursed Spirits to consu, and Hanami, being one of the Disaster Cursed Spirits, naturally fit the concept of a powerful Cursed Spirit.
Although Hanami didn't quite understand what they were talking about, an ominous premonition had already surged in her heart. Unfortunately, even with Chinatsu's Cursed Energy input, she was barely clinging to life and couldn't move at all.
Moreover, even if she could move and run, could she outrun Chinatsu, who could teleport, and Sister i i, who had crow vision?
After Chinatsu applied "Limitless" to Hanami, Hanami's body gradually floated above the ground, which ant Chinatsu didn't have to carry the old thing on her shoulder like a sack.
After doing this, Chinatsu and Sister i i finally turned to look at Itadori Yuji, who was blinking in confusion.
Honestly, Itadori Yuji, known as the "tiger of west middle," still hadn't processed why such bizarre things were happening to him.
Am I dreaming?
Itadori Yuji subconsciously reached out and pinched his cheek. He was not gentle with himself; he pinched himself so hard that tears welled up.
It hurts! So much pain!
I'm not dreaming!!!
Itadori Yuji looked at Chinatsu and Sister i i in front of him again, only to see them suddenly start chatting among themselves.
Chinatsu: Sister i i, the difficulty of a typical protection mission wouldn't escalate to Special Grade. How about I add more money?
Sister i i: Although I'd love to take that money, please allow to maintain so decorum. After all, the protection fee you initially offered was already far beyond that of a normal protection mission.
While Chinatsu and Sister i i chatted, Itadori Yuji stood there blankly until they finished their conversation and their gaze returned to him.
"Itadori... Yuji?"
"Here!"
Itadori Yuji subconsciously straightened his back and answered earnestly.
Chinatsu walked slowly to his side with a faint smile, gently patting one of his shoulders, and said, "Yuji, would you be interested in going on a trip with us sisters?"
