Chapter 17

The opponent did not emit a vast amount of cursed energy like Gojo Satoru; in fact, he didn't seem to have any cursed energy at all. Could he really be an ordinary person?

"But this won't do, oh. This is my toy," Mahito said with a beaming smile, reaching out forcefully toward Nanami.

"Sakura!" Kakashi frowned, applying even more force to his hand.

"Yes!" The pink-haired girl, draped in a red and white cloak, flashed into position and delivered a heavy kick that sent Mahito flying dozens of meters!

"Be careful of this monster's palms. His weakness is the soul!" Nanami, now on the verge of collapse, offered this final warning.

"Palms? Could it be that all these monsters were created by this guy?" Kakashi furrowed his brow, handed Nanami over to Sakura for treatment, and then walked in front of Mahito, observing him cautiously.

"Cough, cough—" Mahito coughed up blood violently. Then, an irrational scene unfolded: the chest that had been trampled upon recovered as if nothing had happened, and he charged forward again as if he were perfectly fine.

"Terrifying recovery ability? No..." Kakashi dodged while using his speed to launch a swift counterattack!

Heavy punches, whip kicks, he even used a kunai to pry open Mahito's skull!

Every strike was lethal, but after every massive injury inflicted, the monster before him would recover at an extremely rapid speed!

"Soul..." Kakashi suddenly recalled the words Nanami had warned him with at the end.

Be careful of this guy's palms—it meant this monster could turn anything his palms touched into a monster, and his weakness was the soul...

In other words, if one simply struck the opponent's physical body, it wouldn't cause any damage at all?

"Hahahaha! Your soul is too interesting! Let me take a look! And that pink-haired girl, it must be very interesting to peel your souls out of your bodies!"

Mahito shrieked with laughter, charging toward Kakashi once more, his palms transforming into blades as if to slice Kakashi to pieces!

"You guy who toys with life... because you have never lost anything, you don't understand the value of life at all, do you?!" Kakashi pulled down his headband abruptly.

The blood-red three-tomoe Sharingan rotated slowly in his eye.

What was that? Mahito felt as if he had been targeted by some primordial beast, and his figure faltered!

"Lightning Cutter, Chidori!!!" A piercing sound of thunder exploded, and dazzling lightning gathered in Kakashi's hand!

In an instant, Mahito's chest was pierced. The pain from his soul caused Mahito's pupils to shrink to the size of needles.

He no longer had his previous smile; like a stray dog, he blankly felt the heavy damage inflicted upon his soul, dumbfounded.

Without the slightest hesitation, Mahito blew his body into pieces and began to flee frantically in all directions!

Escape! Must escape!!!

This guy actually has the power to damage his soul, just like Itadori! Damn it!!!

"Don't think you can escape!" Kakashi's expression changed, and he threw countless kunai from his hands, but most of them missed.

When he wanted to pursue, the chakra in his body caused him to pause.

"Damn it, is my chakra about to run out?" Kakashi hesitated for a long time and ultimately chose not to pursue, but a figure was already waiting on Mahito's only path of retreat.

The mysterious man wearing a spiral mask looked quietly at the disheveled Mahito.

"Who are you! Get lost! Be careful or I'll kill you!" Mahito roared.

"Living things are always like this; the less strength they have, the more they love to talk big," the masked man walked in front of Mahito and mocked.

"I'll kill you!" Mahito swung his palm down violently, but... he only hit a mass of air.

"No... impossible," Mahito looked at his palm in confusion.

"Kamui." The next moment, the space around Mahito began to distort, and Mahito's body was sucked directly into it!

【Might Guy: "Hahahaha, that's right, that's Kakashi for sure. I was doubting it at first, but now it seems that this 'out of chakra' speed is definitely Kakashi, hahahaha."】

【Kakashi: "....."】

【Haruno Sakura: "Eh eh eh! I made an appearance too?! It seems I caught up to Sasuke-sama's footsteps in the future!"】

【Uzumaki Naruto: "Damn it! What on earth am I doing!"】

【Mahito: "Strong people from another world, this is so interesting~ I really want to see your souls~"】

【Gilgamesh: "Shut up, you noisy mongrel! This is no longer a place for you to bark!"】

【Okkotsu Yuta: "May I ask, what level of powerhouse is that Kakashi in that world? Just for combat reference."】

【Uzumaki Naruto: "Ah! Kakashi-sensei is an elite Jonin; he is very strong!"】

【Orochimaru: "Hiss~ theoretically speaking, if Mahito-kun can manipulate souls at will, he should be able to change bodies at will, right? Why don't you let me study how?"】

【Scene shifts】

Shibuya Center

"Your head is held too high."

Ryomen Sukuna, having gained control of the body, looked coldly down at the four people before him: two young girls, one special-grade cursed spirit, and one human boy with no cursed energy.

In an instant, Jogo and the two human girls knelt to the ground. The great terror between life and death made them break out in a cold sweat, their bodies and even their souls trembling uncontrollably!!!

This is Ryomen Sukuna! This is the King of Curses from two thousand years ago!!!

Their bodies were trembling uncontrollably, filled with fear... even Jogo, who had almost reached the pinnacle, felt a great sense of powerlessness in his heart.

It was the vast gap in the level of existence that caused him to feel such despair.

Suddenly, Jogo noticed Sukuna frown and look behind him. Was it... the person behind him?!!!

Jogo couldn't believe it. Why didn't the human behind him kneel? Why not kneel?!

"Shhh—" Sukuna waved his hand casually, and an invisible slash cut through space.

Jogo's scalp was sliced off without a moment's hesitation, and a huge cut was carved into the wall behind him!

But what shocked Jogo was... he turned his head with difficulty. Purple skeletal armor wrapped around the opponent, and Jogo's eyes met the human's eyes.

What kind of eyes were those...

The right eye was scarlet and cold, the pattern within it seeming to depict some terrifying existence. What made Jogo even more afraid was the purple pupil in the left eye, surrounded by six tomoe.

Mysterious... evil... ominous... it was as if it were a collection of all negative emotions. Even Jogo, as a cursed spirit, was intimidated by this terrifying chill.

The skeleton faded, and Uchiha Sasuke looked coldly at Sukuna. "Where is Kakashi?"

"A jujutsu sorcerer of the new era? Interesting ability. I'll spare you for once..."

"I'll say it again: where is Kakashi? Tell me, and I'll spare you," Sasuke interrupted Sukuna, shouting coldly.

"Heh," Sukuna sneered. "Kakashi? As long as you can hit me once."

"Get lost!" The next moment, a heavy punch slammed into Sukuna's face, sending him flying.

In just a few seconds, the two had clashed over a thousand times!

One building after another collapsed, and rubble fell from the sky.

"Fire Style! Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame!" In an instant, the entire night sky was burned by a sea of fire hundreds of meters wide!

"Heh, how boring." Sukuna wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked up at the towering wave of fire coming toward him, and clapped his hands.

The incoming wave of fire was completely neutralized.

"You are strong, but that's all," Sukuna clapped his hands.

"Fool, you aren't even qualified to fight me," Sasuke said expressionlessly from atop a high building.

"... It seems you have misunderstood something. I'll inform you: you are the challenger," Sukuna replied with a cold sneer after a moment of silence.
