Chapter 575: Banana Evil Not the Way (3)

Banana—banana banana banana!

The monkey in front kept making banana sounds, reminding Star of the video she just saw, and she couldn't help but start humming along.

Banana banana banana banana~ banana banana banana banana~

As a natural banana singer, Star's voice instantly attracted countless adorable monkeys, who bounced around her. Star also felt the scene before her eyes was a bit hazy, with countless sleepy banana monkeys drifting in the air.

Banana banana, banana banana! Banana banana banana banana~ banana banana banana banana~

What a wonderful yet harmonious atmosphere! No matter what, Star felt she should join in, embracing the monkeys' pleasant banana sounds and banana scent—

——

Jujutsu Kaisen.

It's so noisy.

Sukuna, with two faces, glared irritably at the monkeys above; this odd-looking, dull-eyed group chattered away, their banana noises practically echoing across Japan as noise.

She must have stumbled into some strange dream again, right? With all these monkeys… could it be a trap?

Well, besides Sunday, who could set a trap for Pinoconni? Most likely it's the family's doing— isn't that monkey banana (toy) doll on her sofa?

A sudden banana slipped naturally from his lips. Sukuna seemed unaware, still glaring disgustedly at the sky.

Huh? Wait… Sukuna, what did you just say?

Geto, lounging in a rocking chair sipping a smoothie, suddenly opened his eyes; he clearly heard the discordant banana in Sukuna's words.

However, Sukuna merely kept a cold stare, too annoyed by the monkeys' noise to bother answering Geto.

Well… never mind, maybe I misheard the banana… something feels off…

The monkeys' voices carry an indescribable penetrative power, seeming to pierce the eardrums and reach the mind, yet it's hard to capture this eerie sensation with cursed energy. So far it hasn't affected him.

My tongue feels itchy… probably just a psychological trick.

Geto gulped a big mouthful of smoothie, using its icy sweetness to suppress that faint oddity; the cool tingling on his tongue brought his mood back to normal.

He slid the empty cup behind him: 'Rime, another one!'

——

"Banana..."

Star was about to sing with the little monkeys when a voice from above suddenly interrupted her.

"Oh great storm deity above!!"

There stood a stylish pink-haired girl looking down on Star and her monkey entourage, her silver teeth clenched.

"What a terrifying, hair-raising scene! At this third watch of the hour of the ox, the solemn skyscraper will become the starting point of a magnificent hunt!"

A can of graffiti spray was thrown high into the air, and the girl caught it steadily as it fell. Wielding a massive chaotic blade, she moved like the wind through the buildings, subduing every lurking memory-meme in the darkness and rescuing one frightened night-wanderer after another.

"Yo-yo~ Under the starry sky, evil lurks everywhere, helpless people struggle in the dark. The wordless ninja art is written in blood and tears, and the selfless ninja is welcomed by the night."

Every enemy the girl defeats bursts into a spray of colorful dye, making her battles less like life-or-death combat and more like a wild, unchained modern art exhibit. Walls, floors, even the monsters themselves become her canvas, splashed with graffiti of every hue.

"In the chaotic tide, we'll wipe out all villains, and before dawn we'll ignite dazzling sparks."

"Yo! Chaotic Ninja·AKA Ranpa, I greet you!"

Ranpa appeared with a seemingly perfect pose, landing steadily. She lifted her head, revealing a somewhat confident smile, just as she was about to speak—

"Smack!"

The graffiti spray can she had just tossed up struck her head squarely, making a crisp sound that meant 'good hearing equals a good head'.

"Ah— it hurts, it really hurts!!"

——

Naruto.

"Oh yeah!!!!"

A voice bursting with joy nearly lifted the conference room windows; there, the previously bored Killer Bee, sitting behind the Raikage and doodling in his notebook, leapt to his feet, waving his arms and legs excitedly.

"Big brother! Do you see it? Do you hear it?!' Killer Bee pointed excitedly at the pink-haired girl in the sky, shouting, 'RAP! It's really rap—genuine, soulful rap! In Pinoconni! …Indeed, there are still people in this universe who get it! Yeah!'"

He was so excited he even launched an impromptu rap right there as a response:

"Yo-yo~ Over there, little Ranpa girl, your rhythm is strong!"

"Killer Bee here, I approve your rap!"

"Rhymes like a sword in hand, flow shining like Lightning Release!"

"The universe is vast, kindred spirits rare—today is just a good day! Baby~"

「……」

The entire conference room fell silent. The other four shadows, along with their guards, stared at Killer Bee, lost in his rap vibe, with question marks over their heads.

The Raikage's veins bulged on his forehead, his fists clenched with a crackling sound, and he roared: 'Bee! You idiot! You can't just blast off anywhere—sit down! This is the Five Kage summit, not your concert!'

Mei Terumi couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle: 'Hehe, looks like he found a kindred spirit from another world, huh? I wonder…'

She glanced at the Raikage, but it seemed no one else noticed that odd note in his voice—

Maybe it's just fatigue from overwork playing tricks on us.

"Honestly… should we even keep going with this meeting…" Ōnoki sighed helplessly, but his gaze also fell on Ranpa's strange weapon, narrowing his eyes: 'Chaotic Ninja… could she also know ninjutsu?'

——

"Ranpa rubbed her forehead, glaring at the monkeys behind Star: 'What a deceitful trap! Not only are evil spirits everywhere, but there are also hidden weapons flying all around!'"

"Obviously you threw it yourself!"

"Ranpa shook her head: 'No, my lord. You're too kind-hearted; I don't know if these malevolent spirits used sorcery to steer its landing.'"

"Banana banana?"

The monkeys all turned to look at Ranpa, their faces full of 'wisdom,' making the girl instantly annoyed.

"All evil spirits, retreat at once. Otherwise I'll make you taste the power of my Chaotic Ninja arts."

However, the monkeys completely didn't understand, and still made the meaningless "jo jo jo" sound.

Luan Po furrowed his brows: "This... impossible, how could this be?"

"Do you understand?"

Luan Po looked shocked: "I... actually cannot communicate with these evil spirits!"

"..." Xing looked speechless.
