章 243: Extra

"Wait." A gentle woman's voice was heard, with a slightly worried tone.

"?" Takaba held the square cloth with both hands, lifted his head, and looked ahead in confusion.

Toge also turned around and glanced back, equally puzzled.

Hana, who had just recovered from a serious injury, was sitting on the sofa, holding onto the armrest, and asked, "Are you planning to unseal Gojo Satoru here?"

"Huh? Can't we?" Yuji asked, squatting on the ground.

On the square cloth between Takaba and Yuji, the Special Grade Cursed Object, Prison Realm, which sealed Gojo Satoru, was clearly placed.

Takaba crossed his arms, raised his head, and said seriously, "Indeed, welcoming him here seems to lack a sense of ceremony."

"How about we make some decorations? Do you have any cardboard for origami?"

"Make a few more rings like this…"

Takaba turned and spoke while gesturing to Nishimiya Momo, who was confused.

Hana said helplessly, "That's not what I meant."

She then began to explain.

"There is no physical passage of time in the Prison Realm. In other words, there won't be any hunger or aging due to the passage of time in the Prison Realm."

"Unless he chooses to commit suicide himself."

At this moment, Hakari, who was standing nearby, crossed his arms and interjected, "Depending on how it's used, it could also be utilized as a time machine."

"It doesn't have that function." Hana corrected.

"Since there's no physical passage of time, we don't know what the nineteen days from Halloween until now felt like for Gojo Satoru."

"It could have been just a brief moment, or it might have felt like a long wait of a hundred years. What I'm worried about is Gojo Satoru's mental state."

"He's the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer of the modern era, right?"

"Hmmm... So?" Yuji asked flatly, clearly not fully understanding.

This time, Shoko came from behind and replied, "If Satoru goes mad, it would be extremely dangerous to unseal him in such a confined space."

Upon hearing this, Satoru's three students, Hakari, Kirara, and Yuji, began sweating profusely.

The terrifying image of Satoru turning into Godzilla and wreaking havoc flashed in their minds.

"Yes… Indeed…" Yuji said.

"Very dangerous…" Hakari added.

Therefore, everyone decided not to hesitate to find an open space to unseal him.

❀❀❀

The Kiroko Mines in Saitama Prefecture were the fourth training ground for Jujutsu High.

At the deepest part of the open-pit mine, everyone from Jujutsu High completed their preparations.

Takaba placed the Prison Realm in the center of the open space, then quickly evacuated, as if he had just planted a bomb.

The other high school students hid behind sandbags at a distance.

Yuji held a sandbag with both hands, sweating heavily, his heart pounding.

Toge held a loudspeaker in one hand and was ready to go.

The angelic figure in the sky, Hana, spread her wings and raised one hand high, her heart pounding uncontrollably.

"Salmon!!!"

Following Toge's command, Hana swung one hand down and used the angel technique that could nullify curses.

"[Jacob's Ladder]!"

A thick beam of light fell from the sky, illuminating the entire mine and the surrounding forest.

Yuji shielded his face with his hands and squinted against the strong wind and bright light to see ahead. Toge beside him wore an exaggerated helmet labeled "Safety First."

Yuta sat on the ground with his legs crossed, one hand on the ground and the other holding his leg, looking sideways.

Takaba maximized his comedic talent, turning to the side and striking a pose with explosive momentum.

Wearing sunglasses and sitting in a chair behind them, Shoko calmly crossed her legs, rested her face on one hand, and looked ahead.

As the bright light faded and the strong wind subsided, only dust continued to swirl.

But everyone eagerly gathered.

"What happened?!"

"Sensei——!! Can we come closer?!"

Then, what they saw was something no one could have imagined.

"…Huh? Sensei?"

Yuji was utterly shocked. He saw two people standing where the open space had been, a man and a woman.

"They became two people!!"

He didn't yet understand the situation, but he was so shocked that his mouth hung open.

Takaba said seriously, "So, there's useless new knowledge in the world…"

"Using the angel's Cursed Technique on the Prison Realm… increases the number of people."

"No, this isn't Gojo-sensei!"

Although the man and woman were 70% similar to Gojo Satoru, there were clear differences, and the corners of their mouths were filled with a bright and warm smile that Gojo Satoru could never show.

The woman had curly black hair, a pair of deep red eyes, purple eyeshadow, and bright red lips, perfectly complemented by a white hip-hugging skirt that showcased her figure.

The man and woman were holding hands, and at a glance, they looked like a loving couple.

Clearly, Gojo Satoru would never be like this. The students of Jujutsu High couldn't imagine Gojo Satoru falling in love with a woman.

"This world is as filthy as ever…"

From Shintaro's perspective, Cursed Energy flowed freely in his field of vision. He had just come from a ninja world without Cursed Energy into the Jujutsu World, so he couldn't adapt for a moment.

Shintaro then removed the bandage from his red and white thigh and tied it around his eyes.

"Shintaro, is this the world you mentioned? Who are these people? Why are they surrounding us?"

Kurenai looked a bit nervous in front of the unfamiliar high school students, so she clung tighter to Shintaro's arm.

"This is the world, but I don't know the identities of these people." Shintaro looked at the people in front of him through the bandage.

"Blood Manipulation? But they're not like the Kamo Clan members, no, not even fully human, with physical bodies?"

"A child with enormous Cursed Energy, Sugawara or Fujiwara?"

"No Cursed Energy… isn't that a Heavenly Restriction?"

"There's also a member of the Inumaki Clan."

Shintaro glanced around and mumbled his initial analysis of the identities.

At this moment, Momo, standing at the front of the group, spoke first.

"Who are you? Where is Gojo-sensei?"

*BOOM*

At this moment, a loud noise came from afar, and the ground began to shake violently.

"An earthquake?!" Hana said in surprise. "This time it's clearly not an accident!"

Shintaro slowly turned his head and looked into the distance, a burst of laughter escaping his lips.

"So, that's the Six Eyes bearer of this era. It seems this is no longer the era I knew."

"The power is quite good. Better than before. What's his name, Gojo Satoru? He's a decent junior."

Shintaro could deduce from everyone's school uniforms that the current era was certainly after the Edo period.

It seemed Momo understood something and stood up, asking, "Senior, what's your name?"

"Uchiha Shintaro, there was once a man named Gojo Shintaro." Shintaro replied without hesitation.

Maki reacted at this moment, "Gojo Shintaro?! That was the head of the Gojo Clan who died along with the head of the Zenin Clan four hundred years ago!"

Everyone suddenly understood Shintaro's identity. No wonder Shintaro and Satoru looked so similar.

Then Yuji realized a blind spot, "Wait, Uchiha?"

"Isn't that the surname from the Naruto manga?"

Shintaro was a bit surprised when he heard this, "Naruto? Isn't that the name of the Fourth Hokage's orphan?"

Thus, after some communication, both parties finally understood the current situation.

"There's such a thing! After the head of the Gojo Clan died, he actually entered the Naruto world and became a ninja of the Uchiha Clan."

"The ninja world is actually fictional? No, everything I experienced was real, it's just a parallel world." Shintaro reassured himself after some hesitation.

In fact, he had long suspected that the ninja world was related to the Jujutsu world. For instance, the Mangekyo Sharingan techniques were names of gods he was familiar with.

Kurenai also felt somewhat relieved by Shintaro's explanation.

However, as a character in a manga that everyone mentioned, Kurenai was still very curious about her storyline in the work.

Kurenai said, "Can you show me Naruto?"

Yuji raised his hand and said, "I have a complete collection of Naruto manga at home!"

Shintaro then raised his finger and said, "In that case, please come and help me show her the way."

He carried Yuji into the air and brought back the complete set of Naruto manga under his guidance.

Yuji sighed, "Even the feeling of flying is very similar to Gojo-sensei."

Kurenai immediately began reading the manga after seeing it one by one.

Shintaro also watched from the sidelines and communicated with everyone.

"So, Gojo Satoru has been sealed, and you just unsealed him."

"Prison Realm? That thing is indeed evil. No wonder Gojo Satoru was sealed secretly."

"Sukuna and Kenjaku? Of course, I know Sukuna. He is the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer in history. During the heyday of Jujutsu, all Jujutsu Sorcerers fought against him but ultimately failed."

"As for Kenjaku, I have never heard of this name."

"What? The Zenin Clan was wiped out, and you, a little girl, were the one who did it? Well done, hahaha. That foolish clan should have been wiped out long ago."

"So now Sukuna's body is the current head of the Clan, Fushiguro Megumi, who possesses the Ten Shadows Technique? Well, this Cursed Technique is somewhat difficult to handle, especially Mahoraga, which needs to be dealt with quickly."

Shintaro multitasked, browsing the Naruto plot with Kurenai while talking to everyone to understand the changes in the Jujutsu world in this era.

"Shintaro...look..." Kurenai called Shintaro sadly after seeing her own plot in the manga.

Kurenai saw the Uchiha Clan being exterminated in Naruto's plot, saw herself and Asuma together, and saw Asuma die at the hands of Hidan and Kakuzu from the Akatsuki organization while she was carrying Asuma's child in her arms.

This scene made Kurenai feel very sad.

Shintaro immediately stopped talking to everyone in high school, gently stroked Kurenai's back, and comforted her: "Kurenai, just think of it as reading a story from another world. Everything in this manga is different from everything we have experienced."

"The Uchiha Clan's coup under my hand was successful. You are with me, not with Asuma. The Evil Cult was destroyed by us together. Kakuzu also died at my hands. Our children are healthy, have grown up, and are now being raised by our father."

Kurenai's eyes welled up with tears, she hugged Shintaro and said while crying: "Shintaro, thank you for accepting me."

She was smart, and she naturally realized that the changes between everything she had experienced and the records in the Naruto manga were due to Shintaro.

Shintaro hugged her tightly, giving Kurenai a sense of security.

Then he said to everyone: "I understand that you are facing a crisis, but I am not from this era, or even from this world anymore."

"I came to this world just to show Kurenai the beauty of this world."

"Next, I will take Kurenai to continue our journey. For the sake of this world's survival, I will take action at critical moments. You can just pretend I don't exist."

Everyone in Jujutsu High heard this and didn't mind.

After all, Shintaro was clearly not a powerful person at their level. The fact that he showed he wasn't an enemy was already shocking enough.

So next, Shintaro and Kurenai left the turbulent Japan and traveled around the vast Earth.

China, Southeast Asia, Oceania, Antarctica, America, Africa, Europe, and the Arctic.

Shintaro and Kurenai traveled the world, from the North Pole through Russia and back to Hokkaido, Japan.

This beautiful journey completely lifted Kurenai's spirits, and Shintaro was ready to return to the ninja world.

But before returning to the ninja world, let's help the juniors in this world solve some problems.

❀❀❀

"It's not directional, and it's not unlimited, even self will be involved... But the damage suffered as a result is still different."

"It seems that the Cursed Technique is still the key. The result is quite satisfactory."

"This [Purple] controlled from a distance can be said to be beautiful as an improvisation."

In the open space created by the explosion of [Purple], Satoru was talking to himself.

His body was covered in burns, but the wounds healed quickly with visible speed.

On the other hand, Sukuna emerged from the rubble with a broken arm and looked in a miserable condition.

Kusakabe, who was watching the live broadcast of the black crow in a distant auditorium, saw the situation and made a decision.

"Contrary to Gojo, who restored the output of the [Reverse Cursed Technique] with the help of [Black Flash]..."

"The treatment has become slow. Without the [Limitless Technique], even prolonged physical combat cannot be conducted, and Sukuna is also severely injured..."

Kusakabe's meaning was clear.

Hana understood and said, "So that means..."

"Yes, Gojo won."

On the battlefield, Satoru's [Reverse Cursed Technique] quickly repaired his injuries, with a confident smile on his face.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

A slash came out without warning, as if it could cut through the entire world.

Satoru had no time to react. At this moment, another white-haired figure appeared in front of Satoru.

"Enough, Junior, you've done a good enough job."

"Ame-no-Minakanushi."

Sukuna's [World Cutting Slash] was blocked.

Shintaro turned and said, "Leave the rest to me."

Sukuna felt like he was facing a formidable enemy. At this moment, he was still in his prime, and the [World Cutting Slash] he used to kill Satoru was also blocked.

This [World Cutting Slash] was a masterpiece after Mahoraga adapted to [Infinity], and it was a perfect demonstration for Sukuna by Mahoraga.

However, Sukuna at this time was not actually qualified to perform the [World Cutting Slash], so to defeat Satoru, he chose to form a Binding Vow, in order to increase the conditions for performing the [World Cutting Slash] in the future in exchange for an unconditional instant [World Cutting Slash].

So now Sukuna could be said to have exhausted all his means. For the first time, he felt the urgent premonition of defeat.

"Uraume!"

Sukuna raised his head and shouted.

An iceberg fell from the sky.

The iceberg melted and fell like rain. Sukuna raised one hand and took over the Cursed Tool, Kamutoke.

What happened next was thick lightning, and Uraume fell to the ground.

"Sukuna-sama."

Sukuna ignored Uraume and looked at the place where the lightning struck with a serious expression.

The lightning dissipated, revealing Shintaro's figure.

"Since we've come this far, let's finish this together."

"[Domain Expansion: Lock Void]."

As an ancient Jujutsu Sorcerer, Shintaro only pursued a Guaranteed-hit in the Domain he mastered, so he could ignore Satoru behind him.

A white halo appeared, and everything within a thousand meters radius turned into a static field.

Sukuna was so shocked that he froze in place without even having the time to use his body to transform and recover from his injuries.

The same applied to Uraume, who had no power to resist.

"[Purple]."

Shintaro completely obliterated Uraume's body with a single use of [Purple].

As for Sukuna, Shintaro walked up to him and released the Cursed Technique, extracting Sukuna's Cursed Technique into his palm, then slashed Sukuna's palm with one hand.

Fushiguro Megumi's body was considered returned to its original owner, but Fushiguro Megumi also fell into a coma.

Shintaro used [Reverse Cursed Technique] to heal his wounds, and the rest was no longer under his control.

As for the palm that carried Sukuna's power, Shintaro opened the Six-Eyes Mangekyo and used Kunitokotachi on it.

The palm with Sukuna's markings floated in the air, and a mouth grew from the palm.

"What are you doing?!"

Shintaro heard fear in it.

He smiled and said, "Let's play shoot-the-sun."

Saying that, Shintaro used [Blue] to absorb Sukuna's palm into his hand, then pointed to the sun with a snap of his fingers.

"Let's see if I can sunbathe with you."

"[Hollow Technique— Maximum Output: Purple]."

A blast of dark purple shot Sukuna, piercing the second cosmic speed and rushing towards the sun.

"Damn it!!!"

Sukuna's curse gradually faded, and finally, he flew out of the Earth and fell into the sun, turning to ashes.

On the other hand, Kenjaku was also beheaded by a surprise attack from Takaba and Yuta.

The disaster in the Jujutsu World was completely resolved.

As heroes, Shintaro and Kurenai received warm hospitality from everyone at Jujutsu High, so the two stayed in the Jujutsu World for a few more days before preparing to leave.

"It's time to go back, Shintaro. Mirai and Mugen must be missing us." Kurenai said while holding Shintaro's hand.

"What? Don't you think the ninja world is fake now?" Shintaro joked.

"I stopped thinking about it long ago. Besides, maybe this world is also drawn in a manga." Kurenai pouted.

"Hahaha, that is possible. Who can be sure of such things?"
