Future Yuji Itadori Joins the Chat Group Chapter 65: To the Current Me, You Are No Different from Dus

'Jogo...'

Hanami had not expected that Jogo would actually die.

He had been killed by this vessel of Sukuna standing before her.

She simply couldn't understand why Sukuna's vessel possessed such terrifying power.

Even Jogo's ultimate move had been directly shredded by Yuji Itadori.

But following the shock, the emotion that overrode everything else was rage.

"Sukuna's vessel!"

Hanami's voice rang out within Yuji Itadori's mind.

What she spoke was a language that could not be clearly heard, yet within every person's mind, her words were automatically understood.

Yuji Itadori rembered everything that had happened during the Goodwill Event and in Shibuya.

She surely wouldn't reveal Mahito's whereabouts either—

In that case, he would exorcise her right here.

In that instant, Hanami moved first.

She removed the white cloth covering her shoulder.

On her shoulder, a giant flower bud was revealed, its dark red petals resembling fresh blood.

The mont the white cloth fell, the flower bud seed to be awakened.

The dark red petals opened one by one. The speed wasn't fast, but with every petal that unfurled, a heavy, oppressive aura filled the air.

Hanami placed her hand on the ground; she was absorbing the life force of the surrounding forest, converting it into her own cursed energy.

The surrounding forest began to rot at a speed visible to the naked eye. The originally green leaves instantly withered and yellowed, then fell from the trees like sludge, while the trunks turned into withered wood within a few short seconds.

The bud on Hanami's shoulder was gradually coming into full bloom.

Hanami was a cursed spirit derived from the forest; she cherished the environnt, so she usually kept this bud covered and absolutely never used this ability.

But now, Hanami had no choice.

Only by going all-out from the start would she have a chance to kill the opponent!

"Converting the life force of the surrounding plants into your own cursed energy?"

Satoru Gojo, standing to the side, could capture the surge of cursed energy within Hanami. That vigorous energy was condensing within her body—or rather, at the location of the flower bud.

In the next second, countless vines erupted from around Hanami's body!

Those vines were as thick as giant pythons, their surfaces covered in barbs. Like a swarm of living snakes, they surged frantically toward Yuji Itadori.

They were incredibly fast, leaving gray afterimages in the air. The sound of them tearing through the wind was sharp and piercing, like sothing screaming.

Simultaneously, Hanami slamd her left hand onto the ground.

The ground split open.

It wasn't smashed open by force, but rather torn apart by roots.

Countless thick tree roots churned up from beneath the earth, flipping, tearing, and crushing the asphalt road.

Those tree roots and vines intertwined, forming a massive, ever-growing net that closed in on Yuji Itadori from all directions.

Furthermore, a strange floral fragrance perated the air. Just a light sniff of it would make one feel drowsy.

That was pollen—while Hanami was releasing the vines and roots, she was also dispersing fine pollen into the air that was nearly invisible to the eye.

Hanami was very aware of her own strength.

She had seen how Jogo lost.

That teorite shredded into dust, that head severed silently—she had seen it all.

So she wouldn't act recklessly like Jogo. She didn't need to hit Yuji Itadori directly; she only needed the pollen to take effect.

If Yuji Itadori inhaled just a little, if his skin touched just a bit, his nerves would be paralyzed, his reactions would slow, and his cursed energy would beco chaotic.

Not only that, Hanami was searching for an opportunity to plant Cursed Seeds into Yuji Itadori's body.

Cursed Seeds fed on cursed energy. The more the enemy used cursed energy for defense, the more the seeds would be strengthened. In this way, she could neutralize Yuji Itadori's cursed energy!

Even if only for an instant.

She only needed one instant!

Unlike the Kenjaku who had already fled, she had to avenge Jogo!

Hanami had even completely disregarded Satoru Gojo's presence nearby; her mind was filled with only Yuji Itadori!

Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!

Yuji Itadori stood his ground, watching the vines, roots, and pollen surging toward him.

His expression didn't change at all; he didn't even shift his footing.

The vines suddenly stopped less than a ter away from him.

They weren't blocked; they were cut.

Those countless thick, barb-covered vines were simultaneously sliced into dozens, or even hundreds, of segnts. The cuts were as clean as ingredients sliced by a guillotine.

The fragnts twisted feebly in the air for a few monts before falling to the ground, purple fluid seeping from the severed ends and flowing slowly across the earth.

The roots released by Hanami t the sa fate, obliterated by invisible slashing attacks.

As for the pollen, it had no effect on Yuji Itadori at all. It couldn't even get close to his body before being blown away by the gale created by the slashing attacks.

Hanami watched all of this in disbelief.

Her cursed technique.

Her all-out strike.

It was... neutralized by this man while he just stood there without even moving?

Just how terrifying was this person's strength...

Even Sukuna in his pri likely couldn't be stronger than the man before her, right?

He was supposed to be just a vessel; he shouldn't possess this level of power!

And why did this vessel know their nas—and why was he so obsessed with Mahito?

Hanami's originally intense desire for revenge had been drowned out by the shock of the scene before her.

She had thought that when Yuji Itadori defeated Jogo, he must have consud quite a bit of cursed energy—especially while decomposing that teorite.

It was only at this mont that Hanami realized she had been far too naive.

The cursed energy within this Yuji Itadori was bottomless.

He hadn't been serious at all when dealing with Jogo; it was like dropping a stone into the ocean—it couldn't stir up any waves.

Was this guy... really human?

No, he wasn't entirely human, but rather—

The mont Hanami snapped back to her senses, she realized the person before her had disappeared.

Yuji Itadori had vanished without a trace of aura!

Hanami realized sothing and turned her head at maximum speed.

However, what greeted her was a fist carrying black cursed energy.

Black Flash!

During the Goodwill Event, Yuji Itadori had used consecutive Black Flashes to fight Hanami.

That battle had also tightened his bond with Todo Aoi.

At that ti, Yuji Itadori felt Hanami's strength was incredibly terrifying; a single lapse in attention could cost him his life. Even when he tead up with Todo Aoi, they were still locked in a bitter struggle.

But now, it was completely different.

Before Yuji Itadori, Hanami was no different from dust.

Yuji Itadori's fist had already struck Hanami's body.

Hanami was the existence with the strongest defensive power among the four great calamities.

During the previous Goodwill Event, Hanami had endured several Black Flashes without dying—if it had been Jogo, he absolutely could not have survived so many attacks.

But, it was still a Black Flash.

The one Yuji Itadori used in the past and the one he used now were worlds apart.

The fist landed on Hanami—

It was a sound like countless bombs exploding. Before the sound even registered, Hanami's body was sent flying. Her uncontrolled form demolished the forest of withered wood along the way, acting like a cannonball.

Hanami even lost consciousness the mont she was hit. It wasn't until the repetitive impact of her body hitting the trees jolted her that she snapped awake.

'What happened to ?'

'What just happened?'

In this instant, Hanami had even lost a segnt of her mory—

And the intense pain from her body being hit by the Black Flash finally made Hanami recall that she had just been attacked by Yuji Itadori.

A single punch, yet it was more terrifying than any cursed technique Hanami had ever seen. It nearly destroyed her body entirely. Even though a cursed spirit's body could be repaired with cursed energy, at this mont, she simply couldn't do it; she couldn't condense her cursed energy.

She couldn't even stop her own body.

But at this instant, Hanami's body stopped moving. It wasn't because she stopped voluntarily, but because sothing had forcibly blocked her.

Yuji Itadori.

Moving at an even faster speed, Yuji Itadori had arrived in front of Hanami and grabbed her by the neck.

Clearly, Hanami was much larger and taller than Yuji Itadori, yet at this mont, she felt incredibly small.

The opponent could kill her with a single finger.

She struggled desperately, but it was futile; that Black Flash from monts ago had already heavily wounded her.

"Why? Why do you, as a vessel, possess such terrifying power?!!!"

Knowing her end was near, Hanami could only hurl curses at Yuji Itadori.

She simply didn't understand why the youth before her, who should have been just an ordinary human, was so strong.

And...

So unfamiliar.

Hanami couldn't find even a flicker of emotion in the depths of Yuji Itadori's eyes, as if the defeat of her and Jogo was a destined and unchangeable event.

Even if the four great calamities tead up, they could never win against this person...

Yuji Itadori looked at Hanami, his expression still unchanged.

From start to finish, his face had remained perfectly calm during this battle; only his eyes had shifted slightly when the na Mahito was ntioned.

He knew that the Hanami before him would also absolutely never reveal any information—

This was a slashing attack based on the gap in cursed energy between the two parties.

And Hanami was split into countless pieces before Yuji Itadori.

In the next second, she collapsed like building blocks, her remaining body gradually withering and dissipating.

"Is it over already?"

Satoru Gojo's slightly lazy voice rang out from behind Yuji Itadori.

He had never expected that one day, when encountering a battle of this level, he could refrain from taking action entirely.

Yuji Itadori's strength still exceeded his expectations.

The boy who used to struggle against lower-grade cursed spirits had just insta-killed two cursed spirits with special grade strength.

Impressive.

"Yeah. It looks like the remaining three people aren't here. At least, not at this mont."

Yuji Itadori replied.

"Three people? Aside from the other two cursed spirits, the last one must be the mastermind you ntioned. According to what you said, Yuji, that guy successfully sealed ? How exactly did he do it? I feel like even if the other two cursed spirits have this kind of strength, it would be impossible to seal even if all four of them ca at together."

Satoru Gojo inquired with so curiosity.

Hanami and Jogo were indeed strong.

But to Satoru Gojo, they were rely speed bumps.

"That guy... he's good at using sches and tricks."

Yuji Itadori replied.

He didn't find it easy to speak about Kenjaku.

That guy was currently occupying Geto Suguru's body.

It was best not to let Satoru Gojo know just yet.

"Yuji, you really aren't good at hiding things."

Satoru Gojo shook his head with a smile.

"But since you won't say, I won't bother asking. Anyway, since two of them have been taken out, their strength will be greatly reduced. That Shibuya Incident you ntioned shouldn't happen again, right?"

"The probability has likely decreased."

Yuji Itadori replied.

Half of the four great cursed spirits had been exorcised. The existences capable of stalling Satoru Gojo were gone; the possibility of Kenjaku sealing Satoru Gojo was greatly reduced.

The fingers at Jujutsu High had been recovered by him, and their plan to win over Sukuna had also been aborted.

Furthermore, the Death Paintings were now in his hands.

At least this ti, Choso and the others wouldn't go down the wrong path again.

Although Choso had said that the older brother has to lead the way...

This ti, let help lead the way.

Yuji Itadori knew that in this world, the Death Paintings—being hybrids of cursed spirits and humans—would likely find it difficult to survive and would be targeted by various factions.

So he would help them change to a different world.

Currently, the Death Paintings were treated as 'items' by the chat group, so they could be placed in the Group Inventory and travel between different worlds.

Additionally, Yuji Itadori had to find a way for Choso and the others to obtain bodies.

Perhaps Maru's technique could help him.

"But even so, we still can't lower our guard. After all, the ones who caused that incident weren't just cursed spirits; many curse users were involved as well."

"Curse users? Those guys really can't stay quiet. I'll just find an opportunity to take care of them all. When the ti cos, I'll call Okkotsu back to help out!"

"And I believe even if Jogo and Hanami have been taken out, the mastermind won't give up easily. He'll definitely still take action. He doesn't know yet that the Death Paintings and Sukuna's Fingers have been transferred to , so he might still covet the Cursed Warehouse of Jujutsu High."

Yuji Itadori said to Satoru Gojo.

"Also, the Goodwill Event between the two schools should be happening soon. The higher-ups of the Jujutsu World don't know that my other self no longer has fingers in his body. They'll probably still make a move against him..."

But before Yuji Itadori could finish, a aningful smile appeared on Satoru Gojo's face.

"Don't worry, they won't. They won't co looking for trouble ever again~"
