The chaos at Tokyo Jujutsu High was quickly suppressed.
After all, Tokyo Jujutsu High was the core area of the Tokyo Jujutsu world and possessed immense power.
However, at this moment, everyone at Tokyo Jujutsu High wore very solemn expressions.
The losses from this incident were counted at the fastest possible speed.
The disappearance of six of Ryomen Sukuna's fingers cast a shadow over everyone's hearts.
No one could ignore the King of Curses who had suppressed an entire era a thousand years ago.
Although there had never been a case, from ancient times until now, of Sukuna incarnating and resurrecting,
if there were no way to revive Sukuna, why would Tomie go to such lengths, and sacrifice more than a dozen of herself, to infiltrate Tokyo Jujutsu High and steal Sukuna's fingers?
There were many questions that everyone needed to clarify at this moment.
Why was Tomie able to pinpoint the location of Sukuna's fingers within just a few days?
Why was she able to open the barrier of Tokyo Jujutsu High's Kiko?
Even though all of Tomie's copies had been left behind, why could Sukuna's fingers not be found?
How exactly would she use Sukuna's fingers?
Would they be facing the legendary King of Curses this time.
On the other side, unlike the grim mood at Tokyo Jujutsu High, Tomie was smiling brightly at this moment.
"Hey, woman, these are Lord Sukuna's fingers. Show some respect."
A neutral, clear, and cold voice came from behind Tomie.
A boy with white bob-cut hair walked in from outside the door.
Tomie turned her head and looked displeased at the boy who had interrupted her mood.
"I heard you know Ryomen Sukuna?"
Tomie casually tossed a finger into a wine glass nearby, then looked at the boy named Uraume with interest.
According to Mr. Kamo, this boy was a follower of the King of Curses from a thousand years ago.
This made Tomie very interested in him.
'Even people from a thousand years ago can be revived in this era. Jujutsu truly is amazing.'
The more she understood Jujutsu, the more Tomie became fascinated by its wonders.
But before that, Tomie had to achieve her goal.
First, she had to escape from this situation, surrounded by wolves on all sides.
For that, Tomie already had a plan.
"Hmph, so what."
Tomie's actions greatly displeased Uraume.
However, Kenjaku had said that Tomie was an important condition for reviving Ryomen Sukuna.
So although Uraume was very annoyed with Tomie, he still did not attack her.
Likewise, Kenjaku had also told Tomie that Uraume was the only person who could follow Ryomen Sukuna without being killed, and thus had great utilitarian value.
If she wanted to revive Ryomen Sukuna, she should not have any ideas about Uraume.
In fact, even if Uraume were truly controlled by Tomie, Ryomen Sukuna likely would not say anything.
That capricious King of Curses would probably only mock Uraume's unsightly state.
As for whether Sukuna would save Uraume, that was really hard to say.
Instead, Kenjaku was more interested in preserving Uraume, this useful chess piece.
In Kenjaku's mind, Uraume was simply too useful.
Strong, efficient, and most importantly, obedient.
Just one sentence, "This is all for Lord Sukuna."
No matter how difficult the task, Uraume would accept it with a sour face.
Such a useful worker was rare.
And that look of disdain, yet having no choice but to do it, was quite exciting, wasn't it?
Now look at this generation's Kamo Family.
Alas, what a bunch of useless people.
Not a single useful chess piece that could serve as combat power.
"How many fingers did you bring back?"
Ignoring Uraume's attitude, Tomie swirled her stemmed glass and drank the crimson liquid within.
Like an elegant white swan with its head held high.
"Five."
After speaking, Uraume took out an exquisite wooden box and reluctantly handed the box containing five fingers to Tomie.
"That makes eleven now."
Tomie watched with satisfaction as Uraume wore an expression that clearly said he could not stand her but could not get rid of her either.
She opened the wooden box in her hand.
Looking at the five neatly arranged fingers, Tomie showed a surprised expression.
"Are Ryomen Sukuna's toes that long too?"
"Disrespectful! Lord Sukuna is a two-faced, four-armed demonic god, not an existence that ordinary mortals like you can imagine."
"Oh?"
Tomie's expression turned intrigued when she heard that.
She had thought that Sukuna's fingers was just a general term, and that twenty referred to the total number of fingers and toes combined.
Ding-a-ling.
The bell hanging on the door rang as it opened.
Kenjaku walked into the bar, looking with satisfaction at the eleven fingers on the table.
"That makes sixteen now."
After speaking, Kenjaku also took five fingers out from his clothes.
"Are these enough?"
Tomie asked with a smile as she took the fingers.
"Who knows?"
Kenjaku's playful attitude greatly displeased Tomie.
"If it were twenty fingers, Sukuna would definitely win, but with sixteen, it's unclear."
Seemingly sensing Tomie's displeasure, Kenjaku spread his hands and put on an innocent expression.
"Even with only sixteen fingers, Lord Sukuna will definitely win."
Uraume said unhappily.
"Unfortunately, we're out of time."
Although Tomie was displeased with Kenjaku's attitude, she did not voice it.
"Oh?"
Kenjaku raised an eyebrow and looked at Tomie curiously.
In his opinion, as long as Tomie was willing to continuously discard parts of herself, she could definitely drag this out for a very long time.
"The other side used some unknown method to pinpoint my location, so we've run out of time."
Kenjaku's expression immediately turned much grimmer upon hearing that.
He had originally planned to take advantage of Satoru's pursuit of Tomie and use this opportunity to provoke a battle between Ryomen Sukuna and Satoru.
Then he would find an opportunity to deal with Satoru.
As for Eichi.
In Kenjaku's view, Eichi without Limitless was much easier to deal with than Satoru.
At worst, he could use some dirty tricks. Eichi could not possibly remain vigilant at all times, could he?
As for those Heroic Spirits.
If the Jujutsu Sorcerer controlling the Shikigami died, the Shikigami naturally could not remain for long.
However, the plan had once again met an unexpected change.
Just how far could sixteen fingers go? Whether it could kill Satoru was still unknown...
Inside Tombs of the Star Corridor.
Eichi was also thinking about this question.
At present, he had two of Ryomen Sukuna's fingers, and Satoru had one.
Another one seemed to be sealed within Itadori Yuji's body, helping Yuji adapt to Sukuna's power.
This was to ensure that he could become a perfect vessel for Sukuna in the future.
Of course, a perfect vessel that could be interfered with by Kenjaku.
This meant that, excluding the six fingers stolen from Tokyo Jujutsu High this time, there were still ten fingers scattered elsewhere.
And the whereabouts of those ten fingers were most likely known to Kenjaku.
Just look at how the original plot developed.
First, Itadori Yuji ate one at school.
Then Satoru gave him one.
Next, Kenjaku released one at the juvenile detention center.
Then there was one that Kenjaku had Eso and Kechizu retrieve at Yasohachi Bridge.
One was given by Nanako and Mimiko in Shibuya, and ten were given by Jogo.
Jogo and his group had only decided to collect fingers after coming into contact with Kenjaku.
So, apart from the six from Tokyo Jujutsu High, the remaining four were collected by them in a short period of time.
And the three fingers Uraume brought later.
At that time, Uraume claimed that the last finger could not be found, not two.
Sukuna, on the other hand, confidently stated that the final finger must have been hidden by Satoru and did not need to be worried about.
He then supplemented the strength of that final finger with his own mummified body.
In other words, the locations of most of Sukuna's fingers had actually always been under Kenjaku's control.
