"Wh-what did you say?"
The Intelligence Department member stammered, his voice trembling, "Shibuya… almost all the residents of Shibuya… have been killed!"
"What exactly happened?!"
Nitta Akira quickly opened her computer. "This is the last footage captured."
On the large screen, chaos sprawled endlessly. Rubble, severed limbs, and corpses piled atop one another. A sea of blood reflected the destruction like a river of crimson.
Amid the carnage, a figure lay in the blood pool, seemingly enjoying a bath. He sensed the camera's gaze and turned, giving a gruesome, wide smile.
Static crackled across the screen. Everyone in the room clenched their fists, anger and fear surging together.
"I'm going to kill him!"
Satoru Gojo rose slowly, his expression dark as he left the room.
Just as he reached the door, it swung open to reveal Gojo Shion.
"Brother!"
Satoru's eyes lit up in surprise. "Finally out of seclusion?!"
Shion nodded, serious and composed. "The situation is grave. I already have a basic assessment. Satoru, don't act recklessly; things aren't that simple."
Shion turned toward the Higher-Ups, his voice mocking yet controlled. "That figure is the legendary Ryomen Sukuna. Without Itadori's body, he still got resurrected. It seems Kenjaku isn't as foolish as some of you think."
Several Higher-Ups twitched at the remark, ready to argue. Seeing Shion's grim expression, they wisely stayed silent.
Shion wasted no more breath. "Now, I'll outline the battle plan."
"First, use Tengen's Barrier to seal all of Shibuya. Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerers will guard each node. They will rescue survivors while containing Cursed Spirits and preventing the chaos from spreading."
"Nitta Akira, notify Suguru Geto, Yuta Okkotsu, and Yuki Tsukumo to return to Tokyo immediately."
Satoru blinked. "Bro, are you planning for Shibuya to be the final battlefield?"
Shion nodded. "Sukuna has slaughtered nearly ninety percent of its residents. While grim, it's now the most suitable location."
He continued, his tone firm. "Even with the Barrier, the shockwaves could affect surrounding areas. Use the influence of the Big Three Families to evacuate all of Tokyo."
"The entirety of Tokyo?"
Many were shocked. "Is it really that serious?"
Shion shook his head. "Better safe than sorry. Sukuna is bloodthirsty and cruel; he may target anyone indiscriminately. Unlike other villains, he kills without reason—elderly, women, children. Once the fight begins, I cannot protect civilians."
Finishing the instructions, Shion pulled Satoru aside. "Satoru, the massacre is only the spark. This Shibuya Incident is aimed at you, me, and Suguru."
"Kenjaku plans to trap you in the Prison Realm, so..."
Satoru nodded, absorbing Shion's words. Then he asked, "What about Sukuna?"
Shion paused briefly, then replied softly, "I'll go. I can feel it… he's waiting for me."
"...So you intend to duel Sukuna one-on-one?"
In the underground blood pool, Kenjaku observed Sukuna. Surprisingly, Sukuna's eyes were closed, his body relaxed.
"A delicacy like this should be enjoyed alone. I have no desire to share, nor do I want interruptions."
He smirked. "If they're only names without substance, I might indulge in all three at once. That could be amusing."
"Alright then, I'll create the opportunity for you."
Kenjaku left to coordinate with the Three Great Disaster Cursed Spirits.
Jogo, now fully restored, ground his teeth in hatred. "That bastard Sukuna… does he really think he's the boss?"
Kenjaku chuckled. "Go tell him yourself."
Jogo fell silent.
"Shion will face Sukuna, but other unstable factors remain."
"Satoru Gojo, Suguru Geto, Yuki Tsukumo, and Yuta Okkotsu—coordinate to handle them. Satoru isn't as terrifying as Shion, but he's no pushover."
Kenjaku added, "Once the Prison Realm opens, we only need Satoru in its radius for a single minute."
"One minute? Are you trying to get us killed?" Jogo exclaimed.
Kenjaku explained, "Not literally. Just a minute in Satoru's mind. The Six Eyes let him store immense information and memories. By manipulating his perception, a minute's worth of thought could pass instantly."
Jogo stayed silent, convinced.
Uraume spoke up. "That woman, Yuki Tsukumo… last time we didn't settle the score. This time, I will kill her."
Kenjaku shrugged. "As you wish."
He continued, outlining threats. "Suguru Geto, Yuta Okkotsu, and finally… Toji Fushiguro. The Inverted Spear of Heaven in his hand must never reach the Prison Realm."
"The black rope holder is Suguru Geto's adopted daughter, weak and inexperienced. She must stay away."
"But Toji Fushiguro is different. His strength rivals Yuta Okkotsu. If allowed near the Prison Realm, the plan will fail."
Jogo suggested killing him. Kenjaku shook his head. "No. You restrain Satoru; I have other plans for Toji."
Alone, Kenjaku entered a secure underground barrier.
"Toji Fushiguro… formerly Toji Zen'in, yes?" Kenjaku smirked. "Let the Zen'in family deal with him."
He placed a cursed object labeled 'Zenin Takeshi' and stroked his chin. "Four Special Grades should be enough to handle Yuta Okkotsu."
Finally, Kenjaku's eyes twitched as he focused on Suguru Geto. "This one is truly difficult. Though strong, he alone doesn't match the Six Eyes. Still, pitting the 'Strongest' of this era against the 'Strongest' of four hundred years ago… what a spectacle to witness!"
