After returning to Jujutsu High, Chinatsu handed these two Grade 1 Cursed Tools to Haibara and Kento Nanami.
Although both of them felt a bit awkward about it, they eventually accepted them after Chinatsu forcefully argued her case.
"Under normal circumstances, try not to use these Cursed Tools. Treat them as your ultimate trump card. This way, you can still gain training when carrying out Jujutsu missions, and using them during a crisis will maximize their effect."
Both nodded in agreement to Chinatsu's instructions, but the astute Kento Nanami sensed a faint abnormality in Chinatsu's tone, a feeling that their lives might be in danger in the future.
Kento Nanami secretly kept a mental note. He knew this senior student of his was a formidable figure, completely different from the other senior named Gojo. Perhaps she had received some special information and was subtly notifying them.
After thanking Chinatsu, Haibara and Kento Nanami went about their scheduled duties as usual. Chinatsu, meanwhile, breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking that this should be enough.
Elsewhere, Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru emerged from the Jujutsu High dormitories, and as they walked toward the main building, they happened to run right into Chinatsu.
"Sis!"
Gojo Satoru originally had both hands in his pockets, but upon seeing Chinatsu, he immediately pulled one hand out and waved it at Chinatsu.
Geto Suguru also smiled and lightly waved his hand, saying good morning.
Geto Suguru's mental state was now very stable, which made Chinatsu's years of persistent moral and ideological education worthwhile.
Of course, this was also thanks to him specializing in martial arts after acquiring playful cloud, meaning he didn't have to consume Cursed Spirit spheres, which resembled rags soaked in vomit, as frequently as before.
Looking at Geto Suguru before her, Chinatsu felt a deep sense of accomplishment, like raising a successful protégé. Although she had spent more time with Gojo Satoru, she couldn't interfere with Gojo Satoru's personality at all; he was purely free-range.
Just as Chinatsu was sighing internally, Gojo Satoru suddenly leaned his head toward Chinatsu and asked with a chuckle: "Sis~ How's your Domain research coming along? I'm getting quite excited over here~"
"..."
Hearing Gojo Satoru's words, Chinatsu's expression involuntarily flickered. She desperately wanted to maintain composure and prevent Gojo Satoru from catching her emotional change.
But who was Gojo Satoru? Chinatsu could fool others, but she couldn't fool her "adorable" younger brother.
Gojo Satoru keenly captured the emotional fluctuation on Chinatsu's face and instantly understood the reason for it.
His sister's Domain development progress was behind his!
Gojo Satoru immediately celebrated, his smile completely unrestrained as he burst into a loud, reckless laugh.
Looking at Gojo Satoru's appearance, Chinatsu wished she could give him a hard kick in the behind, but alas, with his permanent Limitless Defense active, even if she raised her foot, it would be futile.
If Gojo Satoru truly mastered Domain Expansion before her, the situation between the siblings would become one where Gojo Satoru could inflict harm on Chinatsu, but Chinatsu could never touch Gojo Satoru.
The worst outcome would be finding herself under Gojo Satoru's Unlimited Void, where her brain would be flooded with massive amounts of useless information, turning her into a temporarily idiotic puppet, allowing Gojo Satoru to do whatever he pleased.
No... absolutely not!
Flames burned fiercely in Chinatsu's eyes. The thought of Gojo Satoru reversing their roles and becoming the master, even briefly, made her feel unbearably awful.
If Chinatsu's fighting spirit was previously only 100%, it was now ignited by Gojo Satoru to over 1000%!
Just as Chinatsu was thinking this, preparing to go into secluded training and vowing not to emerge until she had developed her Domain Expansion, the phone in her pocket suddenly let out a "buzz, buzz, buzz" sound.
It was a text message, not a call.
Chinatsu reached into her pocket in confusion, pulled out her phone, and upon opening the screen, saw that the message was from Mei Mei.
Mei Mei, a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer, was an older senior to Chinatsu and the others, possessing upper-tier strength among Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerers, and she was extremely fond of money.
If the task was unrelated to money, she wouldn't muster any fighting spirit, but conversely, she would be full of motivation and become an extremely reliable person.
Due to her Cursed Technique, Mei Mei had a significant advantage in gathering intelligence. Many people in the Jujutsu World would transfer money to her account, entrusting her with intelligence work, and Chinatsu was one of Mei Mei's employers.
In the end, there were only two truly threatening antagonists in jujutsu kaisen.
One was the King of Curses, "Ryomen Sukuna." He was arguably the strongest enemy, the most powerful individual recorded in history, rumored to have suppressed the entire golden age of the Jujutsu World by himself.
The other was named "Kenjaku." He was a Jujutsu Sorcerer capable of transplanting his brain to possess others' bodies. He had existed for over a thousand years, constantly changing bodies, and his goal was unknown, though it was suspected he was trying to create a perfect being that surpassed humans, Jujutsu Sorcerers, and Cursed Spirits.
A few years ago, Chinatsu had commissioned Mei Mei to search for traces of Kenjaku. Although Kenjaku could constantly switch bodies by transplanting his brain, there would inevitably be a horizontal scar across the forehead of the host body.
Nevertheless, finding any trace of the old fox Kenjaku was still a difficult task. After several years, Mei Mei had failed to find even the slightest clue about Kenjaku.
Mei Mei loved money, and although the longer the search dragged on, the more commission she could get from Chinatsu, Mei Mei had her limits. She stated that taking the money without producing any results would damage her reputation in the intelligence world.
Therefore, at the beginning of the year, Mei Mei sent a message to Chinatsu, promising that she would devote all her efforts to finding the target's whereabouts this year, assuring Chinatsu.
And now, Mei Mei had completed the commission.
[Chinatsu, I found the person you asked me to look for—the one with the horizontal scar on her head. Her current location is at the airport waiting for a flight. After a brief observation, it seems she is preparing to travel to a country in the South African region.]
Looking at the message Mei Mei had sent on the phone screen, Chinatsu was momentarily stunned. Mei Mei had used the pronoun [she], suggesting that Kenjaku was currently using Itadori's mother's body. But... South Africa? Why would she go to South Africa?
In that instant, Chinatsu's brain spun frantically. After only a few seconds, her eyes widened in sudden realization.
Jujutsu was not exclusive to this country; it was only because of Tengen's barrier and the extreme nature of this nation that the level of Jujutsu Sorcerers and Curses here was relatively higher.
There were Curses and Jujutsu Sorcerers overseas as well, and they possessed Cursed Tools born from techniques unique to those regions.
