The Rikugan / Six Eyes is not the Sharingan.
The ability to imitate an opponent's technique from scratch is the effect of the Sharingan from the Naruto series next door. However, even though the Rikugan / Six Eyes doesn't possess this effect, Chinatsu could still rely on the insight it granted her and her own intelligence to forge a path to survival.
"So this is an open-barrier Domain..."
Chinatsu, who had activated her Simple Domain and was poised in a drawing-the-sword stance, watched the structure of Sukuna's open-barrier Domain quietly, head held high.
If she had an experience bar above her head, messages reading "EXP +1" would undoubtedly be popping up one after another.
Naturally, Sukuna would not give Chinatsu, this little thief, a chance to steal his secrets. He maintained the hand sign for Domain Expansion, unleashing a frenzy of targeted slashes within the Domain.
"This should end it."
Under Sukuna's confident, grinning smile, overwhelming slashes surged toward Chinatsu. Knowing that Sukuna had actively targeted her with the slashes, Chinatsu immediately ceased stabilizing the Simple Domain and instead activated another ultimate technique.
[Secret Technique: Falling Blossom Emotion]!
Chinatsu transitioned from her crouching, sword-drawing stance into a specific martial arts posture. The slashes, powerful enough to shred fine steel, landed on Chinatsu but were only barely able to leave surface wounds.
This technique, unlike [Shin Kage Style: Simple Domain], is an alternative Cursed Energy application technique that only The Big Three Families of the Jujutsu World are permitted to learn.
It involves constructing a uniform and highly sensitive layer of Cursed Energy over the body's surface, and instantly releasing Cursed Energy outward the moment an external attack is received, utilizing a mechanism similar to deflecting the attack to minimize its power.
While such a technique is completely useless against a mental Domain like Unlimited Void, it maximizes its advantageous characteristics when facing a straightforward, output-focused Domain like Sukuna's.
"Hm?"
Sukuna couldn't help but be momentarily stunned, confused by the lack of damage his slashes inflicted, as he was highly confident in their power.
Looking at Sukuna's surprised expression, Chinatsu, outside of a Domain battle, would definitely have mocked him fiercely with a sarcastic look and attitude.
But Chinatsu had no time for that now; she was concentrating all her energy on observing Sukuna's open-barrier Domain, and the experience bar above her head continued to grow steadily.
"I see... I see..."
Chinatsu murmured softly, one realization after another. She had researched open-barrier Domains previously, and now, in her enhanced Black Flash state, the points that had troubled her for so long were being overcome one by one.
Before Sukuna could stomp his feet and charge toward Chinatsu inside his Domain, Chinatsu actively deactivated the "Falling Blossom Emotion" state, slowly raised both hands, and began forming a hand sign.
Her hands were clasped externally, both thumbs held upright, and both index fingers were raised while slightly bent, resembling lotus leaves—this was the Samaya Mudra of Vajraratna Bodhisattva.
[Domain Expansion: Mirror Flower, Water Moon]
As the hand sign in Chinatsu's hands was completed, layers of cloud-like Cursed Energy instantly erupted centered around Chinatsu within Sukuna's Domain, which was filled with malice, chaos, and ferocity. The ground beneath her feet transformed into the image of a clear, moonlit lake.
"Domain Shift: No Barrier."
The Domain power, which should have expanded and quickly solidified into a sphere as usual, was instead manipulated by Chinatsu to remain unbound, without a container to hold it.
The ethereal mist symbolizing Chinatsu's Domain violently clashed with the ominous aura representing Sukuna's Domain, infringing upon each other while simultaneously being pushed back.
Inside the Domains: A draw!
Outside the Domains: A draw!
Seeing this, Sukuna's brows furrowed gravely. This was the first time he had witnessed such a situation—not only had she grasped an open-barrier Domain similar to his own, but the internal concentration of her Domain was also in no way inferior to his.
"It seems we have to start over again."
Sukuna stated this with some displeasure, because since the Domains were evenly matched, activating a Domain made almost no difference compared to not activating one at all.
After his poker face was broken, ripples appeared in Sukuna's normally calm inner state, bringing with them a slight sense of tension.
The last time he felt tension was during a meticulously planned multi-pronged siege against him a thousand years ago, where the vast majority of the strongest individuals in the Jujutsu World participated, attempting to corner and kill him.
Unfortunately, despite the tension, Sukuna ultimately managed to kill all the besieging Jujutsu Sorcerers without danger, with none managing to escape, fully demonstrating his hidden protagonist aura of jujutsu kaisen.
Last time, there was no danger.
This time, it would be the same.
While Sukuna thought this, he began planning how to deal with Chinatsu next. After all, Limitless Defense was too troublesome for him; only two methods could be effective: [Domain Expansion] and [Domain Amplification].
But now, neither of these methods provided a clear advantage, especially Domain Expansion. It seemed he could only continue using the Domain Amplification tactic.
Sukuna believed he still held the advantage in close-quarters combat. Although his opponent's close-combat abilities had increased after landing a Black Flash, this enhancement was time-limited.
Sukuna's extraordinary body granted him superhuman physical strength and stamina, and combined with his overall Cursed Energy amount, which was No. 1 in the entire series, he still maintained an advantage in a protracted battle.
Just as Sukuna was preparing for the coming situation, Chinatsu had already planned exactly what she needed to do next.
After all, she had contemplated this battle for far too long; it could basically be said that she had been considering this exact confrontation since the moment she was reincarnated.
For Kenjaku.
For Sukuna.
For everyone.
Chinatsu breathed calmly. She could feel the status enhancement granted by the Black Flash gradually slipping away, but fortunately, she should still have enough time.
Chinatsu fixed her dead eyes on Sukuna; her originally clear, sky-blue eyes seemed to have changed color, appearing incredibly profound.
As Chinatsu stared at him like this, an unknown sense of unease welled up in Sukuna's heart. His four eyes were fixed on Chinatsu, observing her every move.
What is she trying to do?
Sukuna focused his attention on observing Chinatsu. Although skilled Jujutsu Sorcerers could reduce the need for hand signs and incantations when activating a Cursed Technique...
...the surge of Cursed Energy within a Jujutsu Sorcerer when activating a Cursed Technique could never be erased, and activating high-level Cursed Techniques would inevitably involve movements similar to a starting posture.
As long as Chinatsu showed any sign of activating a Cursed Technique, Sukuna would take action preemptively to counter her. However, the action Chinatsu took next completely defied his expectations.
Chinatsu merely opened her mouth and spoke the following words.
"The name of my Domain is [Mirror Flower, Water Moon]. It is a mental Domain. Targets affected by my Domain power will have their five senses dominated by me, where real sights and illusory experiences will constantly alternate and linger..."
