Curse Returns: Eight Extraordinary Skills? I lack nothing.

"But you fed those fingers to me, and you're the one who caused this trouble." Gojo Satoru pulled a lollipop from his pocket, unwrapped it, and popped it into his mouth.

"But I really want to test my skills against the King of Curses. A legend from a thousand years ago, now he only has the strength of a finger left, what a great opportunity."

Gojo Satoru took a step forward, his shoes crunching on the gravel. With a candy in his mouth, he mumbled, "Okay, let me play with him for thirty seconds, then I'll let you have him."

Yuuto turned his head and looked at him expressionlessly.

Gojo Satoru shrugged: "You wouldn't be that stingy, would you?"

"Yes." Yuuto said.

Gojo Satoru choked for a moment, then laughed: "Alright, let's go together. Anyway, Sukuna is only one finger long, either of us can easily beat him up, going together is just like walking a dog."

Yuuto thought for a moment, then sheathed his sword and stepped aside. In truth, he knew that Gojo Satoru wasn't just playing around.

Gojo Satoru wanted to see for himself the true extent of Ryoumen Sukuna's power—the greatest threat to the future, just how formidable it truly was now.

Moreover, given Gojo Satoru's personality, the stronger the opponent, the more excited he becomes.

“Alright, you go first,” Yuuto said. “Don’t kill him, Itajō still needs this body.”

Gojo Satoru took the lollipop out of his mouth, flicked it casually, and the stick traced an arc in the moonlight before landing in the grass.

"Kill him? Impossible."

He turned around to face Itajimaru. Or rather, to face the sleeping King of Curses within Itajimaru's body.

"Hey, Ryoumen Sukuna." Gojo Satoru's voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the abandoned stadium:

"Wake up. Didn't you want to go on a killing spree? Come out and play with me. A mere finger isn't even enough to tickle me, but I'm in a good mood, so I'll keep you company for a bit."

Sukuna's consciousness fell into a deep sleep, and Itachi regained control of his body once again.

He overheard Yuuto and Gojo Satoru's conversation and interjected, "Mr. Kasuga said your name is Gojo Satoru. That voice just now... was that you? You were the one speaking next to us, and later you asked Mr. Kasuga to come to Sendai to recruit you..."

As Itajiro was speaking, Gojo Satoru suddenly extended his hand. He interrupted Itajiro, looked him up and down, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his pale blue eyes. He nodded, his tone as casual as if asking about the weather: "Hello, my name is Gojo Satoru."

Short and direct. Then he turned the conversation back to Yuuto.

"Itadori Yujin," Itadori quickly added, introducing himself.

The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.

“Hey kid,” Gojo Satoru suddenly said, “You managed to suppress Sukuna just now, not bad.”

Itadori paused for a moment, then scratched his head: "Is...is that so?"

“So now I’m asking you—” Gojo Satoru took a step closer, his six eyes seemingly able to see through everything, “Are you still willing to let him out? It’s not that I’m forcing you, it’s that I really want to fight him.”

Itadori was silent for a few seconds, then raised his head, his gaze firm: "I believe in Mr. Kasuga, and I believe in you. He won't let Sukuna do anything reckless, right?"

Gojo Satoru turned around and glanced at Yuuto.

Yuuto was too lazy to pay attention to Gojo Satoru. He stretched his body, his shoulder blades cracking. He activated the Reverse Life Triple Power at full power, and a shimmering white light emanated from under his skin, like moonlight locked inside his body and then released.

The hair faded from the roots, the black color completely gone, replaced by a jade-like white, each strand gleaming softly in the moonlight.

The Golden Light Mantra simultaneously covers the body surface, and a golden light film shines through from under the skin.

Kikuichimonji was slowly drawn from its sheath. The silver-white blade gleamed coldly in the moonlight, imbued with lightning magic; blue-white arcs of electricity crackled and leaped across the blade.

"Yuuto. Yuuto——"

Gojo Satoru shouted twice, finally drawing Yuuto's attention away from the sword.

Yuuto turned his head, his pale hair fluttering gently in the night breeze: "What?"

"How do you plan to resolve this trouble?" Gojo Satoru tilted his head and pointed at Itajimaru. "The finger has already been swallowed, the deed is done. What are you going to do?"

Yuuto glanced at the white-haired fellow who had somehow appeared in Sendai, then at the half-drawn sword in his hand, and replied casually, "I already said that."

Tell me about it.

"Let me play with the two Sukuna first. You can go next in line. I'll let you go after I've had my fill."

Gojo Satoru paused for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Had enough fun?" He tilted his head to look at Yuuto. "You really dare to say that."

“A mere finger’s worth of Sukuna,” Yuuto said with a smile, a hint of seriousness in his eyes, “I can handle it all by myself.”

Standing there with all three levels of Reverse Life activated, the dazzling white light was almost blinding. The Kikuichimonji sword was held horizontally in front of him, its blade crackling with lightning arcs that hummed in the night wind.

Thirty seconds is enough.

Gojo Satoru stopped laughing. He gave Yuuto a serious look, then took a few steps back, put his hands in his pockets, and leaned against the peeling wall.

"Okay, thirty seconds..."

Yuuto turned around, pointing the tip of his knife at Itajitsu, and said gently, "I'll trouble you, Itajitsu, just let him come out for 30 seconds."

Huzhang closed his eyes briefly, then slowly nodded.

He took a step forward, his hands clenched into fists, his muscles tense.

Then he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and retreated his consciousness to its deepest depths.

"Come out."

Consciousness exchange.

The lake, which had just calmed down, was rippled again.

Tiger Stick's body trembled violently, his expression contorted for a moment, then returned to calm in the next second.

When I opened my eyes again, they had become four.

His blood-red pupils gleamed eerily in the moonlight, and black lines crept up his neck and cheeks, etching a sinister look onto his young face.

Muscles swelled and bulged under the skin, stretching the school uniform taut, and the boy's physique became strong in just a few seconds.

The clothes on his body were completely torn apart with each inflation.

The rags lay on the ground, revealing a dark blue-black torso with intricate veins.

Tall and muscular, his muscles, like steel cables, were exposed in the moonlight, and his entire being exuded an oppressive aura that his body should not possess.

He straightened up, his four eyes scanning his surroundings, sweeping over Yuuto before settling on Gojo Satoru. Finally, he looked down at his hands, clenched his fist, and then released it.

The moonlight shone on his fingertips, and his jet-black nails gleamed coldly in the light.

“Then let’s play.” Su Nuo’s voice squeezed out from his throat, low and hoarse, completely different from Itajō’s voice. “Thirty seconds is enough.”

He moved.

Without any starting gesture or warning, the person simply touched the ground with their toes and was launched into the air.

It moved so fast that it left a trail of afterimages in the air, and the gravel beneath its feet was shaken and sent flying in all directions.

Yu's pupils contracted sharply, and the power of the Reverse Rebirth Triple was activated at the fastest speed, with a burst of bright white light.

He activated the Thunder Magic simultaneously, and blue-white arcs of electricity shot out from his body, wrapping around his limbs and torso, intertwining with the shimmering white light.

Chapter 121 Walking the Dog

Yuuto did not dodge when faced with the two Sukuna rushing towards him.

Blade and claw collided in mid-air, sparks flying.

Su Nuo narrowed all four of his eyes at the same time, twisted his body at an incredible angle in mid-air, grabbed Yu Ren's wrist with his left hand, and went straight for his throat with his right hand.

Yuuto turned his head to avoid it, parried Sukuna's left hand with the hilt of his sword, and raised his knee to strike Sukuna's abdomen.

Su Nuo's muscles tightened suddenly as he took the knee strike head-on, using the force to flip backward, his feet leaving two grooves on the gravel.

In that brief encounter, both men took several steps back. The surrounding concrete ground cracked from the impact, the cracks spreading like a spiderweb.

After several rounds of exchanges, Yu Ren noticed a fact.

Sukuna's body is extremely hard, and even though Kikuichimonji is a top-grade cursed tool, it cannot easily break through his defenses.

The attached lightning arcs did leave some burn marks, but they were quickly repaired by the reversal spell.

"You can't even hurt me with your weapon, what else can you do?" Su Nuo stared at You Ren with all four eyes, his tone full of sarcasm.

Yuuto did not answer. He sheathed the Kikuichimonji, stretched his shoulders and neck, and accelerated the flow of Qi from the Reverse Life Triple Stream within his body, while lightning arcs coiled around his arms.

“Come here.” Yuuto beckoned Su Nuo with his finger.

Su Nuo paused for a moment, then laughed. Not mocking, but genuinely excited. "Interesting!"

He pushed off with his feet and lunged forward again, clenching his fists and delivering a punch to her face.

Yuuto also rushed forward, the power of the reverse life triple dragon and tiger gathering on his fist, and the arcs of lightning from the thunder magic leaping between his knuckles.

Their fists collided. The shockwave exploded outwards, kicking up a layer of rubble. They both took three steps back simultaneously, then charged forward again.

Every punch lands squarely.

There are no fancy moves or techniques, only the most primitive close-quarters combat.

Yuuto's fist slammed into Sukuna's left cheek, causing Sukuna's face to swing to the right, and blood splattered from the corner of his mouth.

Su Nuo's knee strike landed on Youren's abdomen, and the golden light membrane of the spell flickered violently, dissipating most of the force.

Neither of them retreated. Yuuto's left hook slammed into Su Nuo's ribs, the combined power of the Reverse Life Triple Dragon-Tiger Technique and the lightning arc causing the ribs to crack with a crisp sound.

Su Nuo's right hand gripped Youren's arm, her nails digging into his skin. The Golden Light Mantra blocked most of the cutting force, but there were still a few shallow cuts from which blood seeped.

Yuuto swung his right elbow, smashing it into Sukuna's temple. Sukuna's ear was deformed, and blood seeped from the ear canal.

"That's exhilarating!" Su Nuo laughed loudly, "For a thousand years, finally someone has dared to fight me like this!"

Yuuto didn't laugh, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Thirty seconds, that should be enough.

Stop playing.

The Qi of the Reverse Life Triple Expansion exploded within his body, pushing the power of the Dragon and Tiger to its limit. He unleashed his full Thunder Technique, and blue and white arcs of electricity enveloped his fists, transforming them into two dazzling orbs of light.

"It's time to end this," Yuuto said softly.

A punch slammed into Su Nuo's chest. Su Nuo crossed his arms to block, but the combined force of the three forces was like a mountain collapsing.

His arms were smashed open, the force of the punch penetrating his chest cavity. His body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, smashing through the barbed wire fence and leaving a long groove in the concrete ground.
