Chapter 67

Ryomen Sukuna felt that his luck recently was as bad as it could be.

It was not easy for him to be reincarnated and see the light of day again, but in the end he couldn't suppress the brat Itadori Yuji. That's fine, anyway, the King of Curses is not afraid of challenges...

But you can’t play like this!

When he first saw "Uchiha Obito", Ryomen Sukuna's reaction was the same as the senior executives. He felt that this was an ancient failed execution version of Yuji Itadori, which was not surprising at all and had nothing to do with him.

As a result, this guy somehow got himself into trouble and took the risk to go into the technical college to steal his own finger.

After that one-sided meeting through the cursed object, Ryomen Sukuna was able to discover that although "Uchiha Obito" was still pretending to be alive, which made him a little disgusted, he did have the ability.

Adhering to the principle that like repels like, the entertainer Ryoumen Sukuna took the initiative to inform Yuji Itadori of the intelligence, wanting to see the two guys he hated (referring to the newcomer and Gojo Satoru) fight, and it would be best if both sides suffered losses.

But the final result was beyond Ryomen Sukuna's expectations. Not only did the two not fight at all, "Uchiha Obito" actually managed to run away with his own finger!

After that, Ryomen Sukuna could no longer feel the location of those fingers, and from then on, it finally regarded this guy who came out of nowhere as a threat.

The subsequent story went on even more wildly, and even it was pulled into the illusion without realizing it, and an unprecedented prosperous era that was no less prosperous than Heian-kyo appeared before its eyes.

When Yuji Itadori and Naruto Uzumaki were communicating, Ryomen Sukuna could also vaguely feel the existence sealed in the body of the blond kid.

It felt different from Sukuna's own, or any other curse it had ever seen. It was like something more primal, a pure power.

This is consistent with what Ryoumen Sukuna felt before about Uchiha Obito. They are obviously from the same origin...

If Sukuna felt that the curse in Uchiha Obito's body was chaos, then the curse in the body of the blond kid seemed to have separated from the chaos and gradually developed its own characteristics.

But in essence, they were once absolutely one - Ryoumen Sukuna, who had once experienced being split, can clearly point this out.

Unlike Gojo Satoru, who had only known Uzumaki Naruto for a short time and had not faced the Nine-Tails directly because the latter was in a stable state, and had not discovered anything yet, Ryomen Sukuna had experienced a fast but turbulent first half of his life with Itadori Yuji, and had seriously felt the Nine-Tails' leaked cursed power.

So it also realized that the "Uchiha Obito" at that time was definitely lying - what was inside its body was not something created by the Uchiha clan as it said.

In fact, it was quite the opposite. What they did was to divide the curse they caught into several parts - similar to the relationship between Ryomen Sukuna and its twenty fingers, but not exactly the same.

Because even though the power is divided into many parts, Ryomen Sukuna has only one consciousness.

But five hundred years ago, when these people were trying to split up the undefeatable whole, defeat it piece by piece, and even use it for their own benefit, they did something that actually allowed the split forces to further develop consciousness!

This step is vicious, because if even a part of the power is strong enough to regain consciousness, then these divided forces will definitely be hostile to each other and alienated from each other, and will not be willing to become part of a whole again.

What makes Ryoumen Sukuna even more alert is that this unknown secret technique has a high probability of working on him now as well!

To it, having its consciousness torn apart was much more offensive than having its power dispersed. While completely refusing to accept this possibility, Ryoumen Sukuna finally stopped looking down on those people who were born during the time when he did not exist.

It realized that, no matter what, it could not allow this knowledge to appear in the world again.

Therefore, Ryoumen Sukuna used his trump card in advance, trying to change the situation which was already much worse than he had imagined.

From Bai Yun's perspective, Yuji Itadori's aura suddenly changed after he entered the door.

The black lines that looked devilish and weird appeared on Yuji Itadori's face. It was the same face, but no one would mistake the person who was leading at that moment. Everyone present was a veteran of the battlefield, and they realized something was wrong in an instant.

Because the distance was very close and they were not very familiar with Ryomen Sukuna, the first reaction of the other two people present, except Bai Yun, was to protect themselves, which gave Ryomen Sukuna an opportunity.

Without the slightest hesitation, it released the seal with both hands.

Countless sharp blades formed by cursed energy passed by, so dense that they almost merged into one in the field of vision. The wall looked more fragmented than if it had been concentrated by a heavy object. Only by looking closely at the cross-section of the stone-like debris could one realize the true nature of the attack.

This small building that had stood here since the founding of Konoha began to collapse. Because the blow was too clean and decisive, its collapse speed was very slow at first, and then gradually became faster, as if the building itself did not react in time and needed to react half a beat slower.

The cutting sound that was almost like cutting the wind finally came to an end, and dust and sand flew in the air, among which several human figures could be vaguely seen.

Because it was a sneak attack, Tsunade and Jiraiya were both injured to some extent. Only Bai Yun, who had some idea of ​​what Ryomen Sukuna might have done, was safe and sound. At this time, he was stepping on the man's chest and pressing him to the ground.

Because time was tight, Ryomen Sukuna did not bother to expand his domain, but instead launched an extremely intensive attack. This resulted in the technique not having the effect of a guaranteed hit, but the power itself was still no less than the title of the King of Curses.

If it was an ordinary person, or even an ordinary special-grade cursed spirit, this level would be enough to be fatal - after all, it disperses strength, and in terms of the power of the technique, it is actually not much weaker than at its peak.

But obviously, there was no ordinary person present.

But it doesn't matter, this is enough for the time being. Anyway, since there is only one minute of free time, Ryomen Sukuna does not expect to completely solve his current predicament in one go.

Judging from the conversation just now, the two people present are not very good at sealing techniques, and at most they can only be considered to know how to use them. When encountering an atypical case like Ryomen Sukuna, you need to go back and look up the information to further solve the problem.

Therefore, its current goal is simply to destroy the relevant data of the sealing technique.

This is the characteristic of illusions that seem too real.

——As long as you truly believe that the data has been destroyed, then even the owner of the dream cannot change this "established fact" according to his own will.

As a complete curse, "Uchiha Obito" will not enter the dream world, which means that "Hatake Kakashi"'s dream world is the only channel for Yuji Itadori and others to access this lost sealing technique.

But now, this road has been blocked by Ryomen Sukuna himself.

Ryomen Sukuna lay on the ground with his back facing up, not caring about the other person's condescending perspective, and a wild smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This time, it wins.

A minute passed in a flash, the lines on the boy's face began to fade, and his expression changed.

Although Yuji Itadori was unable to control his body, he clearly saw and realized the meaning behind Ryomen Sukuna's actions. A trace of despair appeared on his face, and he looked at the two injured people with guilt.

"S-Sorry..."

Yuji Itadori felt his throat was a little dry and his voice almost broke when he started speaking. He didn't remember the agreement he had made with Ryomen Sukuna, but in his heart, this was not a reason for him to bring disaster to others.

For a moment, he even thought about dying.

Because he was not sure whether he would release Ryomen Sukuna uncontrollably again in the future.

Senju Tsuna made a "tsk" sound.

She had met worse people and had worse experiences in her life.

After losing almost all the important people including her younger brother and fiancé, she once chose to flee Konoha directly, to escape from this bloody world full of loss, and this small building filled with various memories was of course within her reach.

Senju Tsunade had been away from the village for so long that he had actually been prepared to find the place in ruins when he returned, or to find new residents already living in the building.

Later, when she found out that the Sandaime had deliberately bypassed this area when planning Konoha Village, she felt guilty. The accident at this moment did make Tsuna feel a little regretful.

But more than that, she couldn't stand seeing Yuji Itadori in this state.

“That’s enough!”

She pulled Yuji Itadori's thoughts out of self-blame with a sharp voice, and when he looked at her with despair in his eyes, she said, "Everything that is happening now is not your fault."

"On the contrary, it only proves that you really need help."

Jiraiya interjected at the perfect time.

His relationship with Yuji Itadori in the illusion, and their experiences together, make his words seem particularly powerful.

He tried to use the simplest way to convince the stubborn kid in front of him: "Think about it, if Mingren accidentally lost control and hurt you, would you blame him?"

Yuji Itadori quickly replied: "Of course not!"

Jiraiya was actually seriously injured when Naruto Uzumaki lost control during his training, and Yuji Itadori also knew this. But they would not blame Naruto Uzumaki for this, and they would even feel heartbroken because of it.

Seeing that Yuji also remembered what happened back then, Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief and comforted him, "What's happening to you now is the same as what happened back then."

"Although the data here is indeed destroyed, if we look through the data room in the Hokage Building, we may find other solutions."

"Then you can live your life without fear..."

Before Jiraiya could finish his words, he was interrupted by a familiar voice: "Of course that's impossible."

The rift in Yuji Itadori's eyes was widened, and Ryomen Sukuna actually chose this opportunity to provoke him again.

It didn't even look at Bai Yun and the others present, but instead spoke to Itadori Yuji: "If there really is a technique that can perfectly seal the curse, would the blond kid still go berserk?"

"Your previous teacher also said that the progress of the sealing technique cannot keep up with the growth of the curse. Why do you think that the sealing technique from hundreds of years ago can completely seal me after I grow up?"

Ryomen Sukuna switched the concept and avoided the main point, trying to divert Yuji Itadori's attention away from the sealing technique itself and to defeat his mind at the same time.

Only in this way can it have a body of its own and escape from its current overly passive situation.

So it hinted frantically: "And don't forget, they are just products of dreams. No matter whether you get intelligence, recognition or promises now, they are all just false illusions."

These words hit Yuji Itadori's heart hard, because reason told him that the two people in front of him who were very friendly to him were just a projection from hundreds of years ago, and their kindness would not really fall on him, but the mistake he had just made might still happen in his future life.

Bai Yun looked at the scene in front of him and sighed quietly.

Yuji Itadori has too strong a sense of empathy, and this can’t go on.

As for Kakashi Hatake, his chakra is already scarce, not to mention that he has fought several fights so far and has not fully recovered until now. He has no advantage against Ryomen Sukuna, who is famous for his abundant cursed power, not to mention that the opponent is now hiding in Yuji Itadori's body.

There is no way.

Thinking of this, Bai Yun glanced at the system interface.

In this case, the only option is to change the account.

Yuji Itadori's heart was shaken, but his control over Ryomen Sukuna did not become ineffective, and the King of Curses did not feel discouraged. Just when it was about to attack again, suddenly, Ryomen Sukuna felt the sky darken.

The familiar scarlet eyes hung back in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, the surrounding environment became completely different from the ruins just now.

Ryomen Sukuna quietly observed the surroundings. This place was somewhat similar to its living realm. Although it was a realm, there was no enveloping barrier. It was as if it had used its own power to forcibly change the appearance of the real world.

A huge tree is rooted in the world. It is like a shrine to Ryomen Sukuna and is the center of the entire area. Countless human-shaped wooden ropes are hung on the tree, exuding an ominous atmosphere everywhere.

"You've crossed the line."

A man in a white robe and holding a black staff appeared in front of Ryomen Sukuna at some point. The King of Curses was on high alert. Even though he hadn't seen the other party make a direct attack, he already felt the threat.

“This would be a perfect world.”

"Uchiha Madara" said as if sighing, and at the same time looked at Ryomen Sukuna with his pair of devilish eyes, as if piercing its soul directly.

Ryoumen Sukuna secretly thought that this was not good. It had not expected that this idealist would actually seriously control these dreams, and it had no intention of confronting him at this time.

Being the King of Curses, it is so proud that it does not think it is inferior to its opponent. However, the fact that it only has the power of four fingers and the fact that it is in the opponent's territory force Ryomen Sukuna to admit that its chances of winning are slim.

Although Ryomen Sukuna didn't say anything, perhaps his expression gave away something, "Uchiha Madara" laughed twice as if he saw something interesting, and then slowly stretched out his right hand.

The space seemed to be torn apart by bare hands, forming a bottomless black hole. "Uchiha Madara" rummaged through it, and finally took out a handful of things and threw them on the ground like garbage.

Ryomen Sukuna took a closer look, and then veins popped up on his forehead. He felt insulted and his expression gradually got out of control.

What were thrown before the King of Curses were all its remaining fingers.

Uchiha Madara obviously also knew his own advantages that could not be ignored, as well as Ryomen Sukuna's current state. His current behavior was basically a clear declaration to the King of Curses in front of him: Even if you are at your peak, I will not take you seriously.

"I won't be using any of my privileges for a while."

As he spoke, Uchiha Madara separated Ryoumen Sukuna and Itadori Yuji, and said casually, "If you have any other requests, you can raise them now."

So as to avoid making excuses after losing.

Ryoumen Sukuna was so angry that he laughed. He looked at the man in front of him with a sly look and said viciously, "How dare you say that."

I wanted to get up early today, but I accidentally fell asleep at noon, and when I woke up it was almost dark ()

Sukuna is really hard to write because his character is inconsistent. In the beginning, he was quite stylish when facing Rokuko and others, but the look when he faced Gojo Sensei in the latest episode has replaced his original handsome (?) self and is deeply imprinted in my mind ()

So I am late again after all the fussing. Sorry, I shouldn’t have said such nonsense yesterday.
