Chapter 425 - Chapter 426: Trap

"It's you!"

Yuji Itadori looked at the five people in front of him, his expression growing even more solemn.

These five people, or more accurately, one person and four Cursed Spirits, he didn't fully recognize the human, but he had dealt with all four of the remaining Cursed Spirits.

The first was a young man with a face full of stitches and long blue hair, seemingly human, but actually a very perverted and cruel high-intelligence Cursed Spirit named Real Person.

He had encountered him when he first started his practical missions; neither the Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer Nanami Kento, who was guiding him, nor he were a match. Fortunately, Itachi intervened in time to kill the opponent.

He just didn't expect that this guy hadn't died completely and had reappeared.

The latter three were also terrifying Special Grade Cursed Spirits, named Jogo, Dagon, and Hanami respectively.

During the Kyoto Goodwill Event, these three Cursed Spirits all appeared, seemingly wanting to infiltrate Tokyo Jujutsu High to steal something, and almost succeeded.

However, they were eventually detected by the keen Itachi and were stopped in time by a joint effort with Gojo Satoru, resulting in the three Special Grade Cursed Spirits being severely injured and fleeing.

"Suguru Geto, you should have died three years ago."

At this moment, Itachi scrutinized the human leader, a look of confusion in his eyes.

Yuji Itadori looked at Itachi with some surprise:

"You know him?"

There was actually someone Itachi knew that he didn't. He knew that ever since Itachi appeared in this World, he had always been with him, never leaving.

Itachi shook his head:

"I don't know him, but I've looked through some confidential files at your Tokyo Jujutsu High and seen some information about this person.

His name is Suguru Geto, and he was once your teacher's best friend. His Cursed Technique allows him to subdue Cursed Spirits and use them as his own.

Later, for some unknown reason, he went astray and wanted to kill all humans.

Three years ago, he orchestrated the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons incident, was defeated by your senior Yuta Okkotsu, and died by the hand of your teacher, Gojo Satoru."

As an excellent Ninja, his information gathering ability had always been top-notch.

To better protect Yuji Itadori's safety, after arriving in this unfamiliar World, he had always used Shadow Clones to secretly gather intelligence.

He had already thoroughly reviewed all sorts of confidential documents within Tokyo Jujutsu High.

"Awesome!"

Yuji Itadori couldn't help but give Itachi a thumbs up.

On the other side, Suguru Geto, possessed by Kenjaku, looked at Uchiha Itachi with a very interested expression.

"You know a lot about me, but I don't know you. I only know your name is Uchiha Itachi and you suddenly appeared two years ago. This seems very unfair to me!"

He had lived for over a thousand years, possessing countless excellent Jujutsu Sorcerers. He knew the entire Jujutsu Society like the back of his hand, and many of the higher-ups in the Jujutsu Society were his pawns. He had even killed a Six Eyes before.

However, he knew extremely little about this person named Uchiha Itachi, who had disrupted his plans twice, as if he had appeared out of thin air.

It was precisely the sudden appearance of this guy, who was stronger than an average Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer, that disrupted his original plan to seal Gojo Satoru and initiate the Culling Game.

This time, he used his pawns among the Jujutsu higher-ups to divert Gojo Satoru, and then used some Grade 1 Cursed Spirits he had collected over the years to distract Yuta Okkotsu and other Jujutsu Sorcerers, only then having the opportunity to set up the current situation.

The goal of this setup was to combine the power of the four Special Grade Cursed Spirits and his own to kill this Uchiha Itachi in one fell swoop, and then incidentally unseal Ryomen Sukuna, and recruit the King of Curses.

With the King of Curses joining, sealing or even killing Gojo Satoru would become possible.

Even if the King of Curses ultimately didn't join or wasn't successfully released, as long as the variable Uchiha Itachi could be successfully eliminated, he could continue his previous plan.

"Go!"

Itachi had no intention of fighting these people. He immediately took Yuji Itadori and intended to use Body Flicker Technique to escape.

His mission was to protect Yuji Itadori's safety, not to eliminate Cursed Spirits.

In the current situation, the opponents were clearly prepared and all were powerful, so there was no need to risk staying and fighting to the death.

In this World, Jujutsu Sorcerers and Cursed Spirits below Grade 1 were not a big deal, but Special Grades were very troublesome.

Because Special Grades could deploy Domains, even he would be greatly suppressed when facing a Domain.

"If you run away, then I'm sorry, I can't guarantee what will happen to them!"

At this moment, Kenjaku used Suguru Geto's ability to release a Cursed Spirit, which was a tentacle monster.

That wasn't the main point; the tentacle monster wasn't a very powerful Cursed Spirit, at most Grade 1. The main point was that two people were tied to the tentacle monster's tentacles.

"Iguchi-senpai! Sasaki-senpai!"

Upon seeing the two people, Yuji Itadori immediately broke free from Itachi's grip, a look of anger on his face.

Because these two were not seniors from Tokyo Jujutsu High, but rather seniors from his club when he was attending a regular school; they were both ordinary people.

"Itachi, I'll go save them, then you take them and escape first. I'll cover the retreat!"

Rushing quickly to the tentacle monster with a Flying Knee Kick, and then finishing it with a Black Flash, Yuji Itadori grabbed Iguchi and Sasaki and threw them towards Itachi behind him.

Kenjaku seemed to have anticipated Yuji Itadori's reaction. He didn't stop Yuji Itadori from saving the people, but instead took the opportunity to release his subdued Special Grade specific disease Cursed Spirit, Smallpox Deity.

As soon as Smallpox Deity appeared, it deployed its Domain, trapping Yuji Itadori in a coffin in a graveyard.

Meanwhile, after receiving the unconscious Iguchi and Sasaki, and seeing Yuji Itadori trapped in the Domain, Itachi didn't immediately go to his rescue. Instead, he took Iguchi and Sasaki and broke through towards the outside of the forest.

He knew that with Yuji Itadori's strength, he wouldn't easily get into trouble. The most important thing now was to get the two ordinary people out and have Ijichi, who was waiting outside, call for reinforcements.

He couldn't lose his composure just because he had to protect Yuji Itadori and constantly fall into the enemy's rhythm.

"Trying to run? Domain Expansion, Self-Embodiment of Perfection!"

Kenjaku and the other four were somewhat surprised that Itachi would abandon Yuji Itadori, but they reacted quickly. Real Person, who was closest, instantly blocked Itachi and was about to release his Domain.

"Tsukuyomi!"

However, Itachi, who had dealt with Real Person before, immediately used Tsukuyomi to interrupt Real Person's Domain Expansion.

"Amaterasu!"

After torturing Real Person with Tsukuyomi, he also added an Amaterasu for good measure.

In battles between Ninjas, besides pure strength, the most important thing was the analysis of enemy intelligence.

To cope with situations like today's, he had previously fought using the dynamic abilities of his Sharingan to enhance his taijutsu, combined with various Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and shuriken.

He had always kept ultimate techniques like Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu, and Susanoo hidden and had never used them, not even when sparring with Gojo Satoru.

"Ah!"

With his mind traumatized and his body burning with unquenchable black flames, Real Person immediately let out a scream and quickly split his body to save his life...
