Kenjaku stood by quietly with a smile as Sukuna laughed. Although he had lost Jogo, a powerful combatant, the final outcome was still as he had expected.
After Sukuna finished laughing, he handed a bottle to Sukuna.
"This is a cursed toxin that can suppress the soul. Although its effect is far from that of a Bath, it can temporarily pull the other soul into the abyss, ensuring he won't fight for control of this body."
Sukuna glanced lightly at the cursed toxin in Kenjaku's hand and did not reach out to take it.
"It seems Uraume hasn't been reincarnated yet, otherwise he would have already prepared the Bath, wouldn't he? After all, that was the plan a thousand years ago. Take this garbage back. How could I possibly use such an inferior product?"
Kenjaku said nothing after being rejected. He simply put the cursed toxin back into his robes and said, "After all, I don't understand the ritual of the Bath as well as Uraume does, and the cursed toxin I've concocted can't compare to his. However, the original soul of this body has the potential to suppress an incomplete version of you, so be careful."
Sukuna sensed his state for a moment, and his brow furrowed. "The recovery of my power is terrible. Do I only have the power of seven fingers? But more importantly, I can't sense the location of all the fingers anymore. Seven fingers have disappeared. Do you have any leads, Kenjaku?"
Kenjaku's smiling face suddenly froze. If seven fingers had truly lost contact as Sukuna said, then Sukuna's strength would be greatly discounted, and the plan could not be completed at all.
"That's impossible. Although there are indeed methods to block perception, they can only block the perception of specific locations. It's impossible to block the quantity, there's no way to sever the resonance between cursed objects."
Sukuna's expression was somewhat gloomy, but he soon laughed again.
"It doesn't matter. Even without the fingers, I can return to my peak, it just needs a little time. Moreover, the Cursed Energy of this body is quite impressive. Blood Manipulation is also a formidable technique when the user knows Reverse Cursed Technique. Perhaps in this era, I can even surpass my peak."
Since the moment Sukuna was resurrected, he had kept Reverse Cursed Technique active, storing all the blood he created into the marks on his fingertips.
The current Yuji was different from the one in the original series. Having absorbed the Death Paintings, he possessed the strength to face any Disaster Cursed Spirit alone.
It was just that Yuji did not yet know Domain Expansion, which would put him at a disadvantage in a life-or-death battle.
As for the three Disaster Cursed Spirits nearby, they also sensed Sukuna's massive Cursed Energy and finally dismissed their doubts about his strength.
Kenjaku led Sukuna to another hideout, briefing him on all the powerful Jujutsu Sorcerers of this era to prevent him from being caught off guard in future encounters.
"Gojo Satoru, the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer of the modern age, is the current inheritor of the Six Eyes. He is far stronger than his ancestor from a thousand years ago. His Cursed Technique allows him to be naturally invincible..."
"Tsukumo Yuki, her Cursed Technique is Star Rage, which allows her to grant virtual mass to objects. It's speculated that she could even use her life as a Binding Vow to create a black hole that destroys everything."
"Okkotsu Yuta, his Cursed Energy is terrifyingly vast and his Cursed Technique is Copy, allowing him to use all the techniques he has seen. If allowed to develop, he could even become a rival no weaker than Gojo."
"Kagura Shin, his Cursed Technique is a new type called Minecraft, similar to Yorozu's Construction. He can create many items that may or may not exist in the world and imbue them with special abilities. His Cursed Energy capacity isn't large, but according to my deductions, the items he creates can be stored."
"Years of accumulation will allow his strength to reach a terrifying level. However, the most absurd part is that his Domain can even be stored. He can effortlessly perform Domain Expansion multiple times a day without falling into Cursed Technique Burnout. Furthermore, the range of his Domain is terrifyingly large."
"One of our powerful allies fell to this move. If given enough time, even Gojo would be no match for him."
Indeed, Kenjaku had been watching from afar when Jogo was exorcised. He had personally seen Shin deactivate Genesis just as Jogo was about to open a gap in it, only to immediately redeploy it and exorcise Jogo.
Kenjaku then explained Shin's battle record and all the items he had used to Sukuna one by one. Sukuna couldn't help but take some interest in Shin.
"That one called Gojo Satoru seems strong, but in reality, he's just average. However, Kagura Shin... his technique sounds quite excellent. If possible, I might consider changing bodies."
After hearing Kenjaku's introduction to all the notable sorcerers of the modern era, Sukuna remained very dismissive of them.
As for the large Domain range Kenjaku mentioned? How large could it be? Could it be larger than his open-barrier Domain?
After learning about the current era, Sukuna prepared to go out and kill the people of an entire city to announce his resurrection.
"Kenjaku, we'll talk about the promise from a thousand years ago after I've had my fun. Now... let the slaughter begin."
However, just as he was about to unleash a slash, his body suddenly jolted. The slightly smaller eyes beneath his eyelids closed slowly and uncontrollably, and the marks across his body began to dim.
"Damn it... is control of the body being snatched away? How is this possible?"
Before Sukuna could finish his sentence, Yuji fully awakened. If Kenjaku hadn't fed Yuji seven fingers at once, causing Yuji to need time to digest such a massive amount of Cursed Energy, he would have woken up long ago.
His body reacted faster than his mind upon waking. Even before his brain could issue a command, his body was already in motion, immediately launching an attack on the surrounding Cursed Spirits.
Blood Manipulation: Slicing Exorcism!
A large amount of blood gushed from his fingertips, transforming into countless discs that rushed toward the surrounding Cursed Spirits at high speed. The massive amount of blood that Sukuna had just worked hard to accumulate now belonged to Yuji.
Kenjaku didn't care when he saw Yuji regain control of his body. He simply summoned the Rainbow Dragon to deflect all the blood discs, then summoned a Pelican Cursed Spirit to scoop himself and the three Special Grade Cursed Spirits into its mouth. With a flap of its wings, it floated into the air.
"Chatting time is over. We'll see you later for the rest, Sukuna."
After saying this, the pelican led the four of them away.
But how could Yuji possibly just let them leave?
