Inverted Spear of Heaven: Forcibly interrupts Cursed Technique activation. ten thousand mile chain: Infinitely extends the chain's length. soul split katana: Ignores defense and strikes the soul directly.
These Cursed Tools provided the heavenly restriction tyrant with the means to fight even stronger opponents. In countless battles past, these Cursed Tools never failed him. He even boasted the proud achievement of using the Inverted Spear of Heaven, which forcibly interrupts Cursed Techniques, to pierce the kidney of the divine child possessing the Six Eyes and Limitless.
Facing the ultimate trump card passed down through generations of the Zenin Family—the strongest opponent who can adapt to all phenomena—Toji was not thinking calmly; rather, he was overwhelmed with excitement.
"No... problem!!!"
Fushiguro Toji grinned, wildly spinning the Inverted Spear of Heaven connected to the ten thousand mile chain. As a gust of wind swept past, Mahoraga immediately crossed its arms, using its body to absorb the blow, which, despite being a sharp blade, felt like a shockwave.
Mahoraga roared and charged toward Toji, its footsteps shaking the ground. Toji didn't back down, dropping the ten thousand mile chain, gripping the soul split katana tightly with both hands, and crashing head-on into Mahoraga.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The demon slayer sword and the soul split katana clashed violently, sending sparks flying. Countless fragments of rock were kicked up from the ground beneath their feet. The speed of the two combatants created ethereal afterimages, making it look, from an outsider's perspective, like a series of continuous explosions in the air.
During the exchange, Toji could clearly feel Mahoraga's abilities improving little by little as time passed, and he didn't possess any move capable of killing it in a single strike.
For a moment, Toji couldn't help but recall the large purple sphere Chinatsu had unleashed against him during their battle years ago—it was so fast that he didn't even have time to defend before it blasted a huge hole in his body.
"That's why I hate them... Jujutsu Sorcerers."
Toji continued to grumble while stubbornly maneuvering around Mahoraga. Nearby, Fushiguro Megumi watched the scene, instinctively biting his lip.
I'm still miles away. Just like when I encountered that octopus Cursed Spirit years ago, I can only hide behind Dad. When will I truly be able to stand on my own?
"Damn it!"
Leaning against a large tree, Fushiguro Megumi lowered his head and chastised himself. Nobara Kugisaki watched the situation, unsure what to say. She hesitated, carefully choosing her words, but just as she was about to try and comfort Fushiguro Megumi, she saw the usual look return to his eyes as he lifted his face.
"Kugisaki, stand back a little further. That damn old man truly doesn't care about us when he fights. Since I'm Mahoraga's summoner, if I get too far away, it might be forced to change its target. Luckily, it seems Mahoraga won't be getting past my old man anytime soon."
Fushiguro Megumi spoke calmly, as if the previous scene of intense negativity had never happened. Seeing this, Nobara Kugisaki couldn't help but inwardly marvel at Fushiguro Megumi's excellent mindset, then symbolically took a step back.
"Is this distance okay? If some random junk flies over later, I can at least help block it. I still have plenty of Cursed Energy left," Nobara Kugisaki said cheerfully, holding a hammer in one hand and nails in the other.
As the two spoke, a deafening boom suddenly caught their attention. The ten thousand mile chain had bound Mahoraga, and Fushiguro Toji, with a full-body muscular explosion, violently flung it away.
It crashed through countless trees and rocks along the way. Mahoraga, like a beast without pain receptors, used its four limbs to grip the ground mid-flight, stabilized itself, and then immediately sprinted back toward Toji.
As if a child who lost face needed to win it back in the exact same spot, it charged like a raging bull and sent Toji flying.
Gravel flew, and thick smoke billowed.
Even Fushiguro Megumi, who knew his father's physique was monstrous, couldn't help but widen his pupils and instinctively open his mouth, wanting to shout "Dad."
But before the word left his lips, Toji, stretching his muscles and bones within the smoke, slowly walked out step by step.
"To be able to send me flying—what a monster."
Fushiguro Toji was about to tighten his grip on the soul split katana and resume his attack on Mahoraga, but his five senses, enhanced by the Heavenly Restriction, told him that he might not need to exert himself anymore.
"Let the monster be handled by a monster."
His lips curled slightly upward. He tilted his head slightly and looked toward the direction behind Mahoraga, where a motorcycle was speeding out of the darkness.
Yuki Tsukumo?
Although thinking of someone riding a motorcycle in Jujutsu Kaisen easily brings Yuki Tsukumo to mind...
Just like the person riding a white horse to save the princess might not be a prince but perhaps Queen Elsa from Frozen, the person arriving on the motorcycle might also be Chinatsu.
With a sudden brake, Chinatsu arrived at the battle scene. Seeing Mahoraga, which was no longer in its initial state, a hint of seriousness appeared in her red and blue eyes.
If she were in her prime, let alone a wild Mahoraga, she was confident she could crush even a successfully tamed Shikigami Mahoraga in a single blow.
But currently, she was bound by a Binding Vow and couldn't use her Cursed Technique normally. However, the Cursed Energy fine-tuning granted by the Six Eyes was not significantly affected. Combined with a Cursed Tool... "Let's see just how far I can go."
Chinatsu dismounted the motorcycle and removed the helmet she was wearing. She glanced sideways, noticing the ten thousand mile chain and the Inverted Spear of Heaven that Toji had discarded nearby.
She wasn't used to the ten thousand mile chain.
The Inverted Spear of Heaven wasn't needed.
Forget it, she would use the Cursed Tool she brought herself.
Although Chinatsu hadn't appeared to be carrying any large Cursed Tools just moments ago, she suddenly pulled out a long katana—it was both resilient and sharp.
This was a Cursed Tool from the Gojo Family's Cursed Tool warehouse named [Chameleon], which could change into any weapon shape according to the wielder's will, sharing the two properties of [Indestructible Resilience] and [Extreme Sharpness].
Speaking of which, this was Chinatsu's first time holding a katana like this. Since she was born into a Jujutsu Family and was the holder of the Six Eyes and Limitless Cursed Technique, she was accustomed to fighting with her fists; ordinary weapons were usually a hindrance to them. Yet, holding a katana formally for the first time, Chinatsu inexplicably felt she was in excellent form.
This should... work?
Chinatsu took a deep breath, then slightly raised her head, completely ignoring Mahoraga in the middle, and spoke to Toji: "This isn't a rotation. Don't you dare retreat and rest. We're going together!"
"Alright~ Alright~" Toji responded lazily, curling his lip.
The two positioned themselves with Mahoraga sandwiched between them. Sensing the surge of Cursed Energy, Mahoraga immediately changed its primary target to Chinatsu behind it.
With a ferocious grin, it held the demon slayer sword and charged toward Chinatsu with huge strides
