The Underground Battle.
"Hmph."
Nobara Kugisaki stared at the headless body of White Zetsu.
"That Mama's Boy... actually saved me?"
She gritted her teeth. Her Cursed Energy flared.
She charged at the Cursed Spirits with bare fists.
...
The Rooftop.
CRACK.
On the roof of the detention center, a corpse stood up.
It was one of the spare bodies Mirai had brought.
Blond hair (now white). Purple markings under the eyes.
Haruta Shigemo's body.
"Oof," the corpse stretched. "Can't hide these markings, huh?"
White Zetsu (now in Haruta's body) touched his face.
"It doesn't matter," Mirai said, standing on the edge of the roof. "No one at the school recognizes Haruta's markings."
Zetsu grabbed his Caterpillar (Inventory Curse) from the void.
"Those old geezers deserve to die!" Zetsu complained. "Targeting Yuji is one thing... but targeting me? The Great White Zetsu?!"
"The Conservative Faction," Mirai said, his Sharingan piercing the concrete to watch Yuji below. "They want to kill Yuji to spite Gojo. And they want to kill you to spite me."
"A bunch of clowns."
"Let's wait. It's not time to settle accounts yet."
"Fine," Zetsu rolled his eyes. "But when the time comes... I'm killing them myself."
"Go," Mirai nodded. "Your Underling is crying for you."
"Hehe!" Zetsu grinned. "That Delinquent Girl must be heartbroken! I bet she's totally charmed by my heroic sacrifice!"
Zetsu put on a new pair of sunglasses and jumped off the roof.
Mirai watched him go. Then he activated Kamui and sank into the building.
...
The Finger Bearer's Room.
BANG!
Yuji punched the Finger Bearer. His fist glowed with Cursed Energy.
"Hehe!" The Curse laughed, catching Yuji's fist effortlessly.
"Damn it!" Yuji grit his teeth.
AWOOO!
A wolf's howl echoed from outside.
Megumi's signal! They were out!
"Finally!"
Yuji relaxed his control.
"Sukuna! You're up!"
...
The Switch.
Splash.
The tattoos appeared on Yuji's body. His eyes opened—red and malicious.
He brushed his hair back.
Ryomen Sukuna.
"Tch," Sukuna scoffed. "That brat underestimated me."
He patted the Finger Bearer's shoulder.
"Wait a minute. Let me think."
The Special Grade Curse trembled. It backed away in fear.
Sukuna looked up at the ceiling.
"Who's there?"
SWISH.
A figure dropped from the shadows, landing softly.
Zenin Mirai.
He looked at Sukuna with a feigned worried expression.
"Itadori-kun? Are you alright?"
The Finger Bearer stood between them, shaking like a leaf.
On one side, the King of Curses.
On the other, the Modern Monster.
"Hmph," Sukuna put his hands in his pockets. "Your acting only fools the brats."
"Kid," Sukuna said to Yuji's soul. "Switch back."
Silence.
One second. Two seconds.
Sukuna's grin widened.
"Looks like the brat is unconscious."
He looked at Mirai. The malice in his eyes exploded.
"He can't switch back."
"Isn't that... wonderful?"
