On the other end, Kenjaku, who knew Chinatsu's heaven-defying abilities, had long ago deemed the option of reclaiming Master Tengen as an impossible event.
Although he wasn't familiar with Chinatsu, from their first meeting where she comprehended Domain Expansion and punched him away, to her subsequent pre-emptive thwarting of all his planned schemes, Kenjaku understood.
Chinatsu was not just a little off; she was incredibly, incredibly off.
As an existence that could continuously replace bodies through brain-swapping to achieve immortality, she had always been called disgusting by others, but for the first time, she felt someone else was disgusting.
Foresight?
Omniscient and omnipotent?
The Chosen One?
With so many heaven-defying buffs, that girl named Chinatsu had to have at least one, or Kenjaku's indignation would be hard to quell.
However, even in such a predicament, Kenjaku, one of the two hidden main characters of jujutsu kaisen, did not give up hope; instead, he formulated a Plan B as if abandoning his brain.
Even without Master Tengen, Kenjaku, through various remedial measures and a determined fighting spirit, extended the range of a Barrier Technique to encompass the entire country, initiating a nationwide chaos akin to the Culling Game in the original work, with vast amounts of Cursed Energy formed from negative emotions floating in the sky above.
"It should still be a little short, right? Seriously, after my original plan was disrupted, I could only improvise, but if I improvise like this, that girl shouldn't be able to predict it, right?"
Kenjaku stood with his arms crossed, head held high, observing the increasingly dense Cursed Energy across the nation, his fingers in his crossed arms involuntarily tapping out a rhythm.
Before unleashing such a chaotic situation, he had set up various surveillance methods in many regions, allowing him to roughly understand the situation in many areas even while standing still.
Kashimo Hajime, the strongest of the Edo period, who had entered the battlefield, was successfully lured into the Tokyo Jujutsu High area, and it was initially judged that he had clashed with Gojo Satoru.
"Please, Brother Kashimo, you once said you had a trump card. Although I don't expect you to defeat Gojo Satoru, please buy me more time."
Kenjaku, with his arms crossed, lowered his head slightly, unconsciously recalling the scene of meeting Kashimo Hajime in the Edo period, when he was truly unrivaled and invincible.
This oppressive power was not just for show; Kashimo Hajime didn't even use a Cursed Technique, only the lightning attribute of his Cursed Energy and physical reinforcement, turning the encirclement by elites into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Just as he was recalling the past, his head suddenly shot up; his previously laid surveillance facilities had obtained new intelligence.
"Hmm? They're fighting over there too?"
Sukuna's revival.
Chinatsu's intervention.
This chaotic plan was unexpectedly smooth, causing Kenjaku's lips to curve slightly upward, his mood considerably lightened.
After all, no matter how confident he was in Sukuna, one against two was too much. He himself would panic facing the Six Eyes, no chance of winning, absolutely no chance.
Recalling the first time he met Chinatsu, when he was preparing to kill the underdeveloped Chinatsu in her cradle but was punched away, Kenjaku couldn't help but let out a wry laugh, raising a hand to lightly cover one side of his cheek, which was subtly throbbing with a burning pain.
Separated the Six Eyes User (✓)
Gave Sukuna something to do (✓)
Avoided the Six Eyes fighting him (✓)
Kenjaku, with a relaxed mood, continued to gaze at the sky, waiting for the concentration of Cursed Energy accumulated from the negative emotions of the nationwide populace to reach the quantity he desired.
During this process, Kenjaku's presence naturally could not go unnoticed by the Jujutsu Sorcerers who had almost all been deployed, but these Jujutsu Sorcerers were not strong, and there were only a few of them.
Hmm, why?
Because Kenjaku's location was on the secluded Kagoshima, the southernmost tip of the country. Moreover, to attract the attention of those Jujutsu Sorcerers, most of the pawns he deployed were in places like Tokyo and Kyoto. Who would care about a remote small island?
And facing these generally Grade 3 and Grade 2 Jujutsu Sorcerers, as discarded pieces of version updates and expansions, let alone being Kenjaku's opponents, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe them as toys in his hands.
[Cursed Technique: Anti-Gravity System]
Kenjaku, wearing the skin of Itadori's mother, displayed an eerie smile. With a light yet forceful flip of her outstretched hand, the Cursed Technique imprinted on Itadori's mother's body instantly activated.
Those Jujutsu Sorcerers who had discovered Kenjaku, this suspicious individual, had barely even begun to speak when their bodies suddenly became uncontrollable, their feet lifted from the ground, and they floated into mid-air, continuously rising.
"Whoosh~"
Kenjaku treated these Jujutsu Sorcerers as toys in his hand. With a slight twist of his finger, the Jujutsu Sorcerers who had flown up to the clouds suddenly plummeted downwards.
[Cursed Technique Reversal: Gravity Manipulation]
With the natural gravitational potential energy combined with the Cursed World's gravity pressure, those Jujutsu Sorcerers didn't even have a chance to scream, falling tragically to the ground.
In an instant, blood splattered.
Kenjaku did not have the protection of Limitless, and he was inadvertently splashed with the flying blood.
"Ah~ This is truly awful."
Kenjaku, with a somewhat fastidious air, looked down at the blood splattered on him, revealing an displeased expression.
However, this expression only lasted for a moment. Soon, her attention was captured by the chaotic sky.
In the original plan, she intended to collect vast Cursed Energy through the "Culling Game" barrier, then use her personally ending this barrier as a Binding Vow, to infuse such massive Cursed Energy into Master Tengen's body, using her as the basic material to create the ultimate Cursed Spirit.
Currently:
Material Master Tengen (×)
Culling Game (×)
No material, no barrier.
This is why Kenjaku said she was simply improvising. To prevent Chinatsu from continuing to predict her actions, even she didn't know what would happen next.
Next, she planned to use herself as the material to replace Master Tengen. As a holder of the brain-swapping Cursed Technique, her true form was a grotesque brain with a mouth.
Over a thousand years, her existence had long become blurred, neither human, monster, nor Cursed Spirit. Using her to replace Master Tengen as the basic material was not impossible, and then on this basis, add a Binding Vow... Hmm? Why go to this extent?
If someone were to ask Kenjaku this, Kenjaku would absolutely reply with a smiling face, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"One naturally wants to witness things one has never seen to broaden one's horizons, and one naturally wants to confirm whether things one finds interesting are truly interesting. Isn't this the joy of living?"
