Chapter 354 - Chapter 354: Miyauchi Hikage Has the Potential of a God

With Yaga Masamichi coming from afar, Miyauchi Hikage had to give this principal of Jujutsu High some face.

After experiencing Tonio's ability and immediately reaching an agreement with him, completing the corresponding Binding Vow to ensure Tonio's treatment and authority, Yaga Masamichi approached Miyauchi Hikage with a bunch of questions.

The two chatted in the room for an afternoon, basically discussing matters from all aspects.

The directions of their discussion were numerous and varied.

Miyauchi Hikage knew Yaga Masamichi's character. Although restricted by the jujutsu higher-ups, his heart had always been with Jujutsu High, and he had always acted as the lubricant between Gojo Satoru and the jujutsu higher-ups.

His purpose was also very simple: to gain more say for Jujutsu High in the jujutsu world, and to complete the transfer of power in a more peaceful and smooth manner.

However, facts proved that the jujutsu higher-ups had long been completely rotten. Most of the higher-ups had thoroughly become Kenjaku's toys since a hundred years ago, and the remaining ones all harbored ulterior motives, only thinking about raking in benefits for their own families, and completely not thinking about making any contributions to the jujutsu world.

In the end, in the original work, the jujutsu higher-ups, wanting to obtain the method of creating independent artificial Cursed Corpses from Yaga Masamichi, took advantage of the opportunity when Gojo Satoru was sealed and ordered the principal of Kyoto Jujutsu High to kill him.

Although his death was somewhat hasty, judging from his performance in the manga, Miyauchi Hikage still had some trust in this old man, so naturally, some things could be discussed with him.

For example, he "saw" that Sukuna's resurrection was an inevitable result, and that all of this was planned by someone lurking in the dark.

There was also the connection between Itadori Yuji and Sukuna.

Why did Itadori Yuji, a seemingly ordinary high school student, possess the special constitution to suppress Ryomen Sukuna?

And why did he happen to appear exactly at this point in time?

Although Miyauchi Hikage didn't directly state Kenjaku's name, he believed that with Yaga Masamichi's ability, he could more or less realize some of the buried things.

Of course, Yaga Masamichi probably couldn't imagine that Itadori Yuji's grandfather was actually the reincarnation of Sukuna's twin brother, who was devoured by Sukuna before he was even born.

To the extent that Sukuna was bound to revive on the day his brother passed away.

And precisely because of this connection between Itadori Yuji and Sukuna, Itadori Yuji was indeed the most suitable vessel for Sukuna's resurrection.

Kenjaku even calculated that a proud guy like Gojo Satoru wouldn't take Ryomen Sukuna, the King of Curses from a thousand years ago, seriously.

Not only would he forcibly protect Itadori Yuji, but he would even actively collect the other Sukuna fingers, ultimately allowing the prime Sukuna to completely resurrect in the modern era.

"In other words, in the jujutsu world, an unknown faction planned this incident just to let Ryomen Sukuna return to the human world?"

Hearing Miyauchi Hikage's analysis, Yaga Masamichi's face looked very unpleasant.

After all, although Ryomen Sukuna was already a "legend" from a thousand years ago, even without mentioning the commotion Sukuna caused in Japan back then, just looking at the fact that a thousand years after his death, the twenty cursed objects of fingers he left behind could not be destroyed by jujutsu sorcerers or other supernatural powers, one could know how terrifying Sukuna's strength was.

If his resurrection was really secretly planned by someone, then what unspeakable conspiracy was the faction planning all this plotting?

At this moment, Yaga Masamichi couldn't help but have the thought of whether to eliminate Itadori Yuji in advance to resolve the crisis.

"But similarly, this is also an opportunity."

"There is a rather wondrous connection between Sukuna and Itadori Yuji. Perhaps Sukuna can borrow the other party's body to complete a true resurrection, but similarly, Itadori Yuji has also obtained Sukuna's extremely massive cursed energy, and in the future, will have the chance to conversely master those techniques of Sukuna."

"Of course, if Jujutsu High wants to cultivate him, don't tell him about these things. Because the things he encounters now might all become sources of intelligence for Ryomen Sukuna parasitizing his body. It's best if we don't underestimate this King of Curses from a thousand years ago."

Possessed by Sukuna for less than half a year, someone like Itadori Yuji, whose physical intuition far exceeded his intellect, could unleash Domain Expansion, and the manifestation form of the Domain had great similarities with Sukuna's.

It would be strange to say that there was no influence from Sukuna in it.

Getting such an answer from Miyauchi Hikage, Yaga Masamichi finally had some plans for Itadori Yuji, who hadn't woken up yet.

And after chatting about Sukuna's matters, Yaga Masamichi then asked about the source of the abilities of Tonio and those girls, and the purpose of their group coming to Morioh Town.

Regarding the matter of Stand users, Miyauchi Hikage didn't hide it. After all, there were still many hidden Stand users in this world, it's just that most of them didn't realize what kind of ability they possessed.

"According to the part I know, this ability called 'Stand' should be a special application acting on spiritual power. Although there are many manifestation forms of the ability, most Stands will have corresponding images, which is still different from simple superpowers."

"It's just that besides Stand users, ordinary people and general supernatural beings probably can't directly see the existence of a Stand with their naked eyes. Currently, only I, when activating the Eye of Destiny, and Yotsuya Miko can see the existence of a Stand."

Miyauchi Hikage briefly described the image of Pearl Jam, and listening to Miyauchi Hikage's description, Yaga Masamichi, the principal of Jujutsu High, actually thought of some similar situations.

"So this kind of ability users are collectively called Stand users... I seem to have heard of some examples, it's just that those people indeed didn't have such a concept."

Miyauchi Hikage nodded: "And in this place, Morioh Town, its leylines are relatively special. People living here are more likely to awaken Stand abilities than people in other places."

"However, this proportion is not very large either. Outside, there might not even be one naturally awakened Stand user in a million people, and the number of Stand users living in this place, Morioh Town, is probably around ten to twenty."

Considering that the resident population of Morioh Town was only tens of thousands, even counting the customers who came here for tourism every year, the floating population in a year wouldn't exceed a million.

Such a probability, compared to other places, was already quite high.

Therefore, upon hearing this matter, Yaga Masamichi couldn't help but subconsciously stand up and walk to the window of the hotel room, wanting to see what exactly was special about this small town.

"You probably can't tell just by normal observation. After all, when Mr. Gojo inspected the leylines the night before yesterday, he didn't discover these problems either. It was only after I obtained intelligence from other places previously, and then personally came to Morioh Town to investigate carefully for a few days, that I roughly confirmed these things."

"As for those girls..." Miyauchi Hikage paused, and then propped his chin and said, "Including Shinomiya Kaguya and Yotsuya Miko, they are all people favored by fate. Although currently only a portion of them have completed supernatural awakening, and the other girls might look like there's nothing special about them, but if another month or two passes, perhaps all of them will be able to complete supernatural awakening?"

"Their situation is relatively complicated, and it's not convenient for me to explain. However, it's indeed a kind of coincidence that they gathered together. If you have any thoughts, Principal, you can indeed recruit some suitable people from them to enter Jujutsu High."

"However, there are also many girls among them who are relatively satisfied with their current lives and don't plan to undergo any changes. I think there probably won't be many who are willing to join Jujutsu High."

"Bringing them to Morioh Town, although it is indeed because I felt that a few of them could complete the awakening of a Stand under the stimulation of this place Morioh Town, it was mostly just to gather these people together to see if anything would happen."

"Facts have proven that with a bunch of people favored by fate gathered together, sure enough, what happened the night before yesterday occurred."

Because from the moment he completed "supernatural awakening" in the eyes of others, Miyauchi Hikage had been patching up the "power of fate" he awakened.

So under the circumstance where Miyauchi Hikage's strength grew rapidly and his growth trajectory was clear, the various seemingly outrageous things that happened to him would also be treated as normal by others.

Why could Miyauchi Hikage use the power of fate to complete spatial teleportation?

Why did Miyauchi Hikage's strength increase so fast?

Miyauchi Hikage had obviously only undergone supernatural awakening not long ago, why could he know so many secrets that normal people completely couldn't contact?

...

Questions like this, applied to Miyauchi Hikage, only needed a very simple sentence to explain—"This is all the guidance of fate."

It was the power of fate that twisted space.

It was the power of fate that allowed Miyauchi Hikage to quickly improve his strength.

As a person beloved by fate, Miyauchi Hikage himself was in the center of the vortex of fate. It wouldn't be strange if various encounters that ordinary people wouldn't meet in a lifetime appeared around Miyauchi Hikage two or three times a day.

Even if Miyauchi Hikage might not come to Jujutsu High once a week, this completely didn't prevent Miyauchi Hikage from normally coming into contact with various supernatural phenomena, and even having interactions with other more mysterious supernatural forces without anyone knowing.

But after listening to Miyauchi Hikage's explanation, Yaga Masamichi still couldn't help but stare blankly for a short while.

If in April, when he heard from Nanami Kento that he had taken a fancy to a very potential and thoughtful young man, he thought it was a good thing at that time, and it would be nice for the overly down-to-earth and health-preserving Nanami Kento to take a disciple.

Even though the videos shot by Miyauchi Hikage later slightly touched the edge of the Inner World, after all, there were no direct shots of fighting with weird entities, so Yaga Masamichi also agreed to Nanami Kento's application.

And when it came to early May, Miyauchi Hikage completed supernatural awakening, obtained the power of fate, and then "mysteriously" crossed the barrier of the world and disappeared into another unknown world for more than two hours. Yaga Masamichi then started to think that Miyauchi Hikage might have the opportunity to become a new special-grade supernatural being in the future, and was ready to start investing some resources in Miyauchi Hikage to cultivate him.

As a result, in less than a month.

With almost no help from Jujutsu High, Miyauchi Hikage alone already possessed power surpassing ordinary special-grades.

The other party's spar with Gojo Satoru last month, and the subsequent several assassination attempts by those assassin organizations in the Inner World on Miyauchi Hikage.

Made Yaga Masamichi realize that Miyauchi Hikage seemed to be a person with even more talent than Gojo Satoru back then and Okkotsu Yuta last year.

The power of fate, which was even more powerful than the Limitless Technique that manipulated space; a robust physique with so much vitality that it simply didn't seem like a normal human; combat experience and learning speed far exceeding his peers.

Only 16-year-old Gojo Satoru, and the current Okkotsu Yuta, couldn't grow to this extent in just a month like Miyauchi Hikage did.

But at that time, Yaga Masamichi only thought that it would be enough if Miyauchi Hikage could reach Gojo Satoru's height in the future.

But now, looking at these things Miyauchi Hikage casually mentioned.

Whether it was Sukuna, the secrets of Stand users, or these girls favored by fate, coming out of Miyauchi Hikage's mouth, they were like some ordinary news.

For a moment, Yaga Masamichi, looking at Miyauchi Hikage's posture sitting on the sofa, had a thought of "destined by heaven."

Perhaps, Miyauchi Hikage's future achievements would far exceed his imagination.

He might even be able to reach the realm of a god simply relying on his own power, without needing the power of leylines or faith.

After all, this power to casually see through and play with fate truly didn't seem like power humans could come into contact with.

So much so that Yaga Masamichi couldn't help but ask if Miyauchi Hikage needed to pay any "price" to use the power of fate like this.

Wanting to obtain stronger power naturally also comes with more restrictions when using it.

Just like the Limitless Technique of the Gojo family, a solitary Limitless cannot last long without the assistance of the Six Eyes.

The Ten Shadows Technique of the Zenin family, although not weaker than a Limitless sorcerer possessing the Six Eyes, cannot control the most powerful Mahoraga. It could be said that as long as Mahoraga is summoned, there is almost only the ending of being killed by Mahoraga's backlash.

There are also those exorcists and even demigods who borrow the power of leylines. While possessing powerful strength, they also have the restriction of not being able to easily leave the local leylines.

Miyauchi Hikage could manipulate fate so easily, and possessed such strength in just over a month.

Although Miyauchi Hikage himself didn't seem to show any signs, Yaga Masamichi was really somewhat worried whether Miyauchi Hikage would just be a flash in the pan, and then quickly fall.
