Chapitre 47: Fraud
[Author Note]
Disc: HrPrTeam
Do you think that if Volume 0 Yuta made a suicidal binding vow cursed energy blast with the OG Rika, he would have one-shot Mahoraga before he could adapt?
I mean...Geto survived it, but it was still powerful, especially since it was OG Rika.
Personally, I think the current Yuta doesn't need anything that insane, but I was just curious.
...
Honoured_Writer, Yuta isn't a bum.

Naohiro
I feel my body go limp. However, Riko stood up on her own when I let her go.
Geto is dead, and Kenjaku has cursed spirit manipulation.
He used this event to distract me and Gojo.
The people around me look confused momentarily before I speak up with a serious face that I haven't had since coming here. "Satoru, take Riko to Tengen, now. I have some business to deal with."
Now that Kenjaku is most likely in Geto's body, I can track him due to his cursed energy. What I feared came true: Uraume is right next to Geto, and if he left two days ago, he is dead.
He wasn't strong enough.
I pull myself together.
No use complaining about what I could and couldn't have done. Whining and complaining isn't how I got this far.
Now that he has cursed spirit manipulation, the chance of the culling games starting early is very high. In the original timeline, he most likely had a plan in case he didn't get Mahito, so I need to take care of him, now.
Yaga went for a bonk, but I caught his hand.
Gojo raised an eyebrow. "What the hell has gotten you so riled up?"
Taking a deep breath, I speak up. "My cursed technique allows me to track people. Something has happened to Suguru, and it isn't good. Tengen needs to assimilate soon to avoid any troubles."
Looking at Riko, I see her with a sad face, Kuroi coming out of nowhere to console her.
I sigh. "*Sigh* I am genuinely sorry, Riko. This wasn't how things were supposed to happen, but you must go now."
She looked at me, furrowing her eyebrows at me. "But..."
Gojo pokes her head, and she becomes unconscious while he catches her body.
He ends up having a serious face, his goofy persona all but gone. "Go, make sure something didn't happen to Suguru. I'll take it from here."
I nod my head at Gojo and Yaga, who surprisingly returns one.
Turning around and making a B-line towards Geto, I can only hope that he isn't dead.
While running, I concentrate on my soul.
If Kenjaku has something planned for me, I'll need something and fast.
One of the stupidest things I did was eat a Sukuna finger, but I ended up separating it from Kenjaku and gained some cursed energy.
However, another main benefit was that I have been able to better control my soul and gain the ability to strengthen it from outside forces.
This means that I can touch souls whenever I want to.
I have been worried about waking Sukuna up by touching his soul, but regardless, he wouldn't be able to incarnate in me due to my incompatibility as a vessel.
My adaptation gave me the ability to co-exist with another soul, not be a compatible vessel.
If he were to awaken in my body, I would be the ultimate cage for Sukuna.
So, let's do something even dumber than eating his finger.
As soon as I learned about him in my body, I focused on my soul non-stop, even while bullyi...talking to Utahime.
I start to sweat and close my eyes.
Instead of avoiding the red fragmented crystal, I move my hands towards it.
My eyes snap open. "Might as well rip the bandaid off."
*Inhale* *Exhale*
I don't care who you are; I'm getting your knowledge. Your servant Gege won't be able to save you since I'm here.
My hands cup around it before moving closer.
I touch Sukuna's soul.
*WOOSH*
Everything goes red before I see that I'm standing inside of a red pool with bones all around me.
So, this is Sukuna's inner domain. It looks the same when Mahito touched it.
I hear a voice to my left.
...
...
...
"Who are you?"
I look up to see a four-armed, four-eyed man with tattoo markings all over his body.
*Gulp*
HELL NAH.
I smirk nervously. "Yo, I'm Naohiro Zenin! You see, I came here to borrow something."
He rested his chin on one of his arms and narrowed his eyes. "Give me one reason why I shouldn't gut you like a fish."
Think, think, think, think.
He continues. "Normally, you would already be dead. However, these are interesting circumstances. The last thing I expected was to wake up with someone touching my soul. I would've been delighted to awaken, but you are an annoyance. Did Kenjaku make my vessel a brat like you?"
'clink'
If I can keep him occupied, I can adapt to Sukuna's soul rather than its presence and do whatever I want with it. Since my adaptation is Mahoraga's and not part of my cursed technique, he shouldn't be able to detect it.
The soul and the body are connected, so as long as I can keep the connection between us separate with adaptation, he won't be able to interact with the real world until Yuji consumes his fingers.
Onto the main reason I came here...
Ever since I got here, I have started to feel knowledge entering my head. It's time to pull a Miguel and stall!
I kept my smirk. "I just came to say hi to the king of curses! Uraume says hello. They won't stop talking about how great you are!"
'clink'
Sukuna smiles before laughing. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! It was a nice try. Uraume wouldn't allow a brat to touch my soul. Do you really think I can't see you stealing from me?"
*Slash*
My arms get sliced off.
'clink'
Ouch, that hurt. Soul damage never feels good.
Suddenly, they slowly start to regrow.
That gets his attention before he smirks. "You can heal your own soul? How interesting. You won't be getting out of here alive. You're too weak."
'clink'
*Slash*
Then, my legs get sliced off.
'clink'
Come on, Mahoraga! ADAPT SO I CAN GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!
I still haven't figured out how to use the complex adaptations in my soul. My technique is about as strong as I was when I was five.
Shit, this doesn't feel nice.
I fall face-first into the pool. While my body is regenerating, it isn't fast enough yet.
He stands up with a disgusted look on his face. "You really think you can take something from me without making any deal? Touching my soul and stealing my knowledge. You're dead."
He raises two fingers and is about to move them horizontally.
'clink'
I'm out of here. Go back to sleep.
I smirk. "Yes. BYE YOU FUCKING FRAUD!"
...
Waking up, I can't feel my arms or legs.
'clink'
*BLEH*
I emptied an entire week's worth of food on the ground.
When I return, I absorb the fragment of Sukuna's soul, turning it into cursed energy and putting him back to sleep for the time being.
He will remember this, and I'll need to be ready for him.
If I wasn't strong enough to take on Kenjaku, I sure as hell am now.
'clink'
I wasn't able to extract any information from the soul fragment, which is why I tried waiting.
That was the dumbest thing anyone has ever done in this world. However, it was worth it.
Thanks for teaching me the 'King of Clowns.'
I won't be able to use his full cursed technique as if it were mine. I can't just steal cursed techniques, but I can replicate them to a tee. In other words, I can't use dismantle and cleave, but I can create a nearly identical technique.
(A/N - "The same way Maho was able to slash through the world while not exactly using dismantle.")
Now that I have adapted to infinity, I can now put them together.
Standing up, I notice that Uraume and 'Geto' haven't moved much, and the sky is still the same, meaning I wasn't in there for long.
If I didn't know who Kenjaku was or what he would do in the future, I would rush to Geto to try to save him, but I know he is already dead.
I did this, knowing that he wouldn't be returning.
I'm not planning on looking for Geto.
...
I'm looking to kill Kenjaku and end this shit here and now.

JaxWolf4 I don't have a problem with Sukuna, but imagine you were put up against him. I'm sure you wouldn't be glazing him while he slices you up.
