"Any last words?" I say looking at the beaten and bloody man. A man who could once strike fear in the very hearts of the ruthless Zen'in clan and could kill the bearer of the current six eyes was reduced to a state where he was clinging onto dear life. As if out of spite, even after receiving an attack that should have killed him by now, he remains standing with a solemn look on his face.
"Nah, that's not my thing." He said as he paused momentarily, as if he were remembering something. "In 2 or 3 years from now...my kid will be sold off to the Zen'in clan... Do as you wish with that." He said before finally going silent.
After fighting the current strongest sorcerer of the modern age. The man without cursed energy, fell.
POV: Makima
"Hey there, Tengen." I say as I look at the still body of Tengen. Someone who could shake the Jujutsu Society, now left in a state where even she is unable to protect herself.
Looking at her you can just tell from a glance that her body has finally died. Her gray hair no longer has it's usual shine to it. Her chest no longer rises and drops in its usual rhythm, now lying still. Her beautiful eyes no longer shine in a calming baby blue. She has truly died, after over 1,000 years.
But that is not the end for a sorcerer of her caliber. Her technique gives her immortality to old age. Soon, she too will resurrect. Just as Satoru Gojo has. However, unlike the former... it is unknown what she will become as a result. It could even lead to the destruction of the world.
"Alright, lets get this part of the deal over with..." I say, kneeling next to Tengen I lay my hand on the stomach of the deceased woman. Even though she is dead physically, her soul will be intact, as well as her cursed energy. Very soon it will start to evolve, altering her body to become something...superior.
I have to do something before she can cause harm to the world around her. My very own Contingency Plan.
I activate my cursed technique, sending an ethereal chain into the depths of her soul, seeking a singular point. The core of her soul. Each persons core can look different. Vary in size and density. Or even strength. However one thing remains in common.
[Enslave] They can all be manipulated by me.
A faint golden light envelops Tengens body before dying down, signaling the success of my technique. I get up with a solemn look on my face as I look down at the person whom I regarded as my teacher for a moment before leaving the room. Now isn't the time to grieve.
I first have to see Kenjaku once more. I can vaguely feel his location due to my technique so it won't be hard to find him. After that... I've decided to find a vessel which I can completely take over.
Reversed curse technique is too valuable to give up on. Especially with the knowledge of the impending doom coming forth from Kenjaku's hand. And I mean I guess being able to enjoy life like any other person sounds nice too.
"Sigh, let's get out of here..." I say as I make my way towards the elevator once more. This time not even bothering going down and jumping out of the broken glass. I notice that Geto is no longer here. It seems he took my advice to heart.
I continue my journey outside the tomb, seeing yet another dead body causing me to sign once more. A reminder of my failure to protect Riko Amanai.
Once outside, I momentarily relish in the warm rays of the setting sun, painting the sky a beautiful golden. "Oh how i've missed sights like this." I say before continuing my way out of Tengen's barrier. It seems the school is in a state of panic due to the attack of Toji, making my escape multiple times easier.
Afterall, currently the user of the six eyes is nowhere to be seen along with the user of cursed spirit manipulation. Half of the school's sensors are out only leaving the not so intimidating Yaga and the 2nd and 1st years.
"First destination. Sendai!" I say as I take a massive leap, leaving the school in one massive leap. "Let's see what the vessel of the King of Curses is like!" I say as a large smile spreads across my face.

Pov:???
"Achoo! It seems someone is talking about me again. I say as I look up from the game of chess I was playing.
"Quiet. It's your move." Urarume replies with their usual cold voice. "Yes, yes as you wish, Urarume." I say with a small smile on my face as I move my rook over in time to protect my Queen. I momentarily stare at the piece with a small smile on my face before my train of thoughts are interrupted by Urarumes sudden movement, putting her knight into movement.
"I must say Urarume, you aren't very familiar with chess are you?" I say as I lean forward over the board to stare in their eyes with a playful grin on my face.
"Please Kenjaku, I do not wish to play your mind games. I am simply doing this to bide time until Lord Sukuna's inevitable revival." They said, quickly shutting down my attempt to stall the match momentarily.
"That reminds me... Do you think Sukuna might take a liking to Makima? After all... she has the potential to rival him given enough time. Especially with that scary technique of hers." I say with an exaggerated voice as I lean back in my chair, not letting my eyes leave Urarumes face.
"That would not be possible." They said, causing me to sit up from my previous slouching posture. "And why is that?" I say questioningly. My doubts hold plenty of ground. With a technique like that she can enslave any cursed spirits and use them as she pleases, along with her second technique.
Her telekinesis in its own right is frightening on its own. It has the capabilities to disembowel someone if she pleases. And her chains are both a weapon and a shield. Just by this she has no real weakness for someone to exploit. She even has a domain expansion to back this up!
"That is because, no one will be able to match Lord Sukuna." Urarume said with a serious face as they stared at me coldly. "It's baffling that you doubted him even for a moment." They say, getting up from the couch in front of me and leaving towards the front door behind me.
"Where are you heading to?" I say not even looking back. I know where she is going. I just want to hear it from them. "I still have much to prepare for Lord Sukuna's return." They say briefly as they walk out the door, with their face never changing from one of indifference the entire time.
They truly are as cold as they say...
