The next day, after several people returned to High School, they were met with wave after wave of investigations and inquiries.
After all, a Curse User, accompanied by multiple Special Grade Cursed Spirits, had attacked High School, threatening Tengen, a pillar of the Jujutsu World.
Moreover, Tengen, who had not assimilated with the star plasma vessel last night, went missing this morning.
The last communication between the High School staff and Tengen was a single sentence: Tengen said he was going into seclusion for a period of time.
This made many who understood Tengen's situation extremely worried.
They intensified their surveillance of Tengen while tracking down the Curse User who dared to invade High School.
The Star Religion, as the obvious mastermind, was immediately apprehended and purged by the people of the Jujutsu World.
Koshiu was temporarily safe because he ran fast.
Toji Fushiguro, on the other hand, was temporarily held by the Gojo Family.
The investigation results quickly reached the high-ranking officials of the Jujutsu Headquarters.
Since then, the high-ranking officials' meetings have been ceaseless.
The purpose of the meetings was simple: to shift blame.
The Zen'in Family furiously attacked the Kamo Family.
Because the investigation results showed that most of the people who issued designated missions to Eichi and others belonged to the Kamo Family.
It was they who caused the High School's defenses to be weakened.
Therefore, the Zen'in Family demanded that the Kamo Family bear primary responsibility for this incident.
The Kamo Family naturally did not want to take the blame.
Firstly, their actions were reasonable and compliant; secondly, this was caused by an irresistible force, which no one could avoid.
Both sides began to bicker.
The Gojo Family watched from the sidelines, drinking tea.
Finally, several positions held by the Kamo Family in the Jujutsu Headquarters were taken by the Zen'in Family and the Gojo Family, and the Star Religion, which could no longer speak, took the brunt of the blame.
Strictly speaking, they weren't entirely taking the blame, as they truly participated.
In a house in Miyagi Prefecture, Kenjaku was excitedly looking at the messages on her phone.
These were photos of the star plasma vessel Amanai Riko's "corpse" and the news of Tengen's seclusion.
"It finally succeeded."
Kenjaku was extremely agitated at this moment.
500 years ago, her attempt to stop Tengen's assimilation ended in failure.
500 years later, she finally succeeded.
"Now I need to hide for a while."
Kenjaku looked at the messages on her phone.
The photo showed a sketch of a person, very similar to her current appearance.
This was drawn by Jujutsu Headquarters investigators based on Eichi's description.
Now, Jujutsu Headquarters had begun a nationwide search for the Curse User's whereabouts using this sketch.
"This Physical Body can't be used anymore. Which body should I use next?"
Kenjaku's mind began to go through the backup bodies she had set her sights on, one by one.
For a thousand years, Kenjaku had been paying attention to powerful Jujutsu Sorcerers and talented individuals.
On one hand, it was to prepare for the resurgence of Jujutsu's golden age.
On the other hand, Kenjaku also intended to use them as backup bodies.
Among these backup bodies, only three were ones Kenjaku could not replace.
The first two were easy to understand: Gojo Satoru and Ryomen Sukuna.
These two were unbeatable, simply unbeatable.
The third was Toji Fushiguro.
Toji Fushiguro's characteristic of having zero Cursed Energy ran counter to Kenjaku's desire to explore the possibilities of Cursed Energy, and Kenjaku would lose Cursed Energy and be unable to use Jujutsu once she entered Toji Fushiguro's body.
"Is Suguru Geto indeed the best choice?"
Cursed Spirit Manipulation and Kenjaku's compatibility were simply too good.
"No, it's still too difficult for me to occupy Suguru Geto's Physical Body right now."
Strength was one aspect; Suguru Geto's companions around him were what made Kenjaku feel tricky.
Moreover, Suguru Geto was too conspicuous.
Kenjaku, who had always operated in the shadows, would not step into the limelight unless absolutely necessary.
The reason for wanting to change bodies this time was not that Yuji Itadori's Physical Body was no longer useful.
Rather, Yuji Itadori's appearance had already attracted the attention of the Jujutsu World, which was not conducive to her covert planning.
And Suguru Geto, who was noticed by countless people, especially by the Six Eyes, violated this point even more.
Even if the Jujutsu World's gaze wasn't on Suguru Geto, the Six Eyes would surely see through Kenjaku's disguise.
"Can Suguru Geto only be pursued gradually..."
A certain level of strength, not too conspicuous, an identity convenient for acting in the shadows.
Finally, Kenjaku once again set her sights on the Kamo Family.
Jujutsu Sorcerers of the Kamo Family had status, which was convenient for her planning.
At the same time, they were not too conspicuous; the most active people in the Jujutsu Headquarters were all from the Zen'in Family.
The Kamo Family, relying mainly on political maneuvering and not excelling in strength, indeed wasn't very conspicuous.
After all, although the Kamo Family boasted loudly about Blood Manipulation, it really couldn't compare to the Ten Shadows Technique and the Six Eyes.
Therefore, the Kamo Family paid great attention to power dynamics, which also made the Zen'in Family rarely take the Kamo Family seriously.
Because the Zen'in Family believed in powerful Jujutsu.
"At this point, I can only trouble the Kamo Family a bit more."
Having made her decision, Kenjaku got up and went to Yuji Itadori's house.
A barrier was silently erected, and everything that happened inside the house would not be detected by others.
Kenjaku looked at Yuji Itadori sleeping on the bed.
This was the vessel she had carefully prepared for Ryomen Sukuna.
This child embodied her millennium of knowledge, capable of restraining even the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna.
Ryomen Sukuna was too dangerous; he was a man Kenjaku wasn't even confident she could control.
For this, she had to ensure she had a way to restrain Ryomen Sukuna.
This was Yuji Itadori, the excellent vessel Kenjaku prepared for Ryomen Sukuna.
He was also Kenjaku's last trump card against the Six Eyes before she obtained the prison realm.
Kenjaku had personally witnessed the Jujutsu World's encirclement and subjugation of Ryomen Sukuna.
The Jujutsu World, which had gathered almost all its power at the time, lost; it lost to Ryomen Sukuna alone.
Therefore, Kenjaku was very fascinated by Ryomen Sukuna.
Unfortunately, Ryomen Sukuna was not a man she could manipulate.
Kenjaku once found Ryomen Sukuna, wanting to form a Binding Vow with him as she had in the past.
Ultimately, she wanted to turn Ryomen Sukuna into a Cursed Object and make him her power.
But Ryomen Sukuna's immense talent made her scalp tingle.
After only seeing it once, Ryomen Sukuna learned her method of creating Cursed Objects.
Then Ryomen Sukuna turned himself into a Cursed Object, giving her no chance to intervene.
In the end, Kenjaku only gained Uraume.
Although Uraume was not weak, the difference from the expected gain was too great, and Kenjaku inevitably felt somewhat disappointed.
However, it was good that Uraume was indeed a very useful pawn.
Just one phrase, "This is all for Sukuna."
Uraume, no matter how disgusted he looked, would follow Kenjaku's requests.
Kenjaku reached out and touched Yuji Itadori's face.
Yuji Itadori on the bed opened his sleepy eyes in confusion.
Yuji Itadori stared wide-eyed at the woman in front of him.
He felt this woman looked familiar, but he couldn't recall who she was.
Kenjaku reached out and stroked Yuji Itadori's pink hair, speaking with a slight smile.
"Listen, Yuji, you must..."
Young Yuji Itadori looked at Kenjaku innocently.
Soon, Kenjaku finished saying everything she wanted to say.
"...Finally, forget me, forget our meeting today."
The Binding Vow was established.
Yuji Itadori felt a wave of drowsiness overcome him and fell back into a deep sleep.
