The chaos at the High School was quickly quelled.
After all, the High School was the core area of the Tokyo Jujutsu World, possessing immense power.
However, at this moment, everyone at the High School wore very solemn expressions.
The losses from this incident were tallied at the fastest possible speed.
The disappearance of 6 Ryomen Sukuna fingers cast a shadow over everyone's hearts.
No one could ignore the King of Curses who had suppressed an entire era a thousand years ago.
Although there had never been a case of Sukuna incarnating and resurrecting from ancient times until now.
But if there wasn't a method to revive Sukuna, why would Tomie expend so much effort, and suffer the loss of over a dozen of herself, to infiltrate the High School and steal Sukuna's fingers?
There were many questions that everyone needed to clarify at this moment.
Why was Tomie able to pinpoint the location of Sukuna's fingers within just a few days?
Why was she able to open the barrier of the High School's Kiko?
Even though all of Tomie's copies were left behind, why couldn't Sukuna's fingers be found?
How exactly would she use Sukuna's fingers?
Would they face the legendary King of Curses this time... On the other side, unlike the solemn people at the High School, Tomie was smiling broadly at this moment.
"Hey, woman, these are Lord Sukuna's fingers, show some respect."
A neutral, clear, cold voice came from behind Tomie.
A boy with white bob-cut hair walked in from outside the door.
Tomie turned her head, looking displeased at the boy who had interrupted her mood.
"I heard you know Ryomen Sukuna?"
Tomie casually tossed a finger into a wine glass nearby, then looked at the boy named Uraume with interest.
According to Mr. Kamo, this boy was a follower of the King of Curses a thousand years ago.
This made Tomie very interested in him.
'Even people from a thousand years ago can be resurrected in this era; Jujutsu truly is amazing.'
The more she understood Jujutsu, the more Tomie became engrossed in its wonders.
But before that, Tomie had to achieve her goal.
First, to escape from this situation surrounded by wolves.
For this, Tomie already had a plan.
"Hmph, so what."
Tomie's actions greatly displeased Uraume.
However, Kenjaku had said that Tomie was an important condition for reviving Ryomen Sukuna.
So, although Uraume was very annoyed with Tomie, he still didn't attack her.
Similarly, Kenjaku had also told Tomie that Uraume was the only person who could follow Ryomen Sukuna without being killed, and thus had great utilitarian value.
If you want to revive Ryomen Sukuna, don't have any ideas about Uraume.
In fact, even if Uraume were truly controlled by Tomie, Ryomen Sukuna likely wouldn't say anything.
That capricious King of Curses would probably mock Uraume's unsightly state.
As for whether Sukuna would save Uraume, that's really hard to say.
Instead, Kenjaku was more keen to keep Uraume, this useful chess piece.
In Kenjaku's mind, Uraume was simply too useful.
Strong, efficient, and most importantly, obedient.
Just one sentence, "This is all for Lord Sukuna."
No matter how difficult the task, Uraume would accept it with a sour face.
Such a useful worker is rare.
And that look of disdain yet having to do it is also quite exciting, isn't it?
Now look at this generation's Kamo Family.
Alas, what a bunch of good-for-nothings.
Not a single useful chess piece that could serve as combat power.
"How many fingers did you bring back?"
Ignoring Uraume's attitude, Tomie swirled her stemmed glass, drinking the crimson liquid within.
Like an elegant white swan with its head held high.
"Five."
After speaking, Uraume took out an exquisite wooden box and reluctantly handed the box containing five fingers to Tomie.
"That makes 11 now."
Tomie watched with satisfaction as Uraume's expression showed he couldn't stand her but couldn't eliminate her.
She opened the wooden box in her hand.
Looking at the five carefully arranged fingers, Tomie showed a surprised expression.
"Are Ryomen Sukuna's toes that long too?"
"Disrespectful! Lord Sukuna is a two-faced, four-armed demon god, not an existence that common mortals like you can imagine."
"Oh?"
Tomie's expression became intrigued upon hearing this.
She had thought that Sukuna's fingers was a general term, and twenty was the total count including both hands and feet.
Ding-a-ling.
The bell hanging on the door rang with the sound of it opening.
Kenjaku walked into the bar, looking with satisfaction at the 11 fingers on the table.
"That makes 16 now."
After speaking, Kenjaku also took out five fingers from his clothes.
"Are these enough?"
Tomie asked with a smile as she took the fingers.
"Who knows?"
Kenjaku's playful attitude greatly displeased Tomie.
"If it were 20 fingers, Sukuna would definitely win, but with 16, it's unclear."
Seemingly sensing Tomie's displeasure, Kenjaku spread his hands, adopting an innocent expression.
"Even with only 16 fingers, Lord Sukuna will definitely win."
Uraume said unhappily.
"Unfortunately, we're out of time."
Although Tomie was displeased with Kenjaku's attitude, she didn't voice it.
"Oh?"
Kenjaku raised an eyebrow, looking curiously at Tomie.
In his opinion, as long as Tomie was willing to constantly discard parts of herself, she could definitely drag it out for a very long time.
"The other party used some unknown method to pinpoint my location, so we've run out of time."
Kenjaku's face turned considerably grim upon hearing this.
He had originally planned to use this opportunity to leverage Gojo Satoru's pursuit of Tomie to instigate a battle between Ryomen Sukuna and Gojo Satoru.
Then find an opportunity to deal with Gojo Satoru.
As for Eichi.
Eichi without Limitless, in Kenjaku's view, was much easier to handle than Gojo Satoru.
At worst, he could use some dirty tricks; Eichi couldn't possibly maintain vigilance at all times, could he?
As for those Heroic Spirits.
If the Jujutsu Sorcerer controlling the Shikigami dies, the Shikigami naturally cannot remain for long.
However, the plan encountered an unexpected turn again.
To what extent could 16 fingers achieve? Whether it could kill Gojo Satoru was still unknown... Tomb of the Star Corridor.
Eichi was also pondering this question.
Currently, he had 2 of Ryomen Sukuna's fingers, and Gojo Satoru had 1.
Another one was seemingly sealed within Yuji Itadori's body, helping Yuji Itadori adapt to Sukuna's power.
This was to ensure he could become a perfect vessel for Sukuna in the future.
Of course, a perfect vessel that could be interfered with by Kenjaku.
This meant that excluding the 6 fingers stolen from the High School this time, there were still 10 fingers scattered elsewhere.
And the whereabouts of these 10 fingers were most likely known to Kenjaku.
Just look at the original plot development.
First, Yuji Itadori ate one at school.
Then Gojo Satoru gave him one.
Next, Kenjaku released one at the juvenile detention center.
Then there was one that Kenjaku had Eso and Kechizu retrieve at the 88 Bridge.
One given by Nanako and Mimiko in Shibuya, and ten given by Jogo.
Jogo and his group only decided to collect fingers after coming into contact with Kenjaku.
So, apart from the 6 from the High School, the remaining four were collected by them in a short period.
And the 3 fingers Uraume brought later.
At this time, Uraume claimed that the last finger couldn't be found, not two.
Sukuna, on the other hand, confidently stated that the last finger must have been hidden by Gojo Satoru and didn't need to be worried about.
He then supplemented the strength of the last finger with his own mummified body.
In other words, the locations of most of Sukuna's fingers were actually always under Kenjaku's control.
