Why is Sukuna's finger in a place like this?!
The finger was a dull dark purple due to the accumulation of clotted blood. The joints were somewhat twisted and swollen, and the flesh was dry and shriveled, making the knuckles of the entire finger stand out.
A wave of ominous aura constantly overflowed from the finger, and the dark red cursed energy had almost materialized.
Even after a thousand years, the cursed energy on Sukuna's remaining finger still exuded an oppressive feeling that made one's heart feel stuffy.
Looking at that finger, a gloomy look appeared on Zenin Kiyoshi's face. He turned his head to look at the old leader and asked in a low voice:
"Where did you get this finger from? And why did you put this finger here?!"
As Zenin Kiyoshi asked the question, the cursed energy on his body pressed down without reservation. The cursed energy materialized and directly pressed the old leader's entire body until it was somewhat deformed.
His face drooped, his expression twisted uncontrollably, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, which was the result of him biting his own tongue under the instantaneous pressure.
"Sir... sir, this finger was sent over by Master Tengen along with the cursed tools this time! I just got it not long ago. The seal on this finger is a little loose, but there are no good sealing tools at the base right now, so it was temporarily stored in the box. After the sealing cursed object arrives, it will be suppressed under the barrier!"
Hearing the old leader's words, the last trace of luck in Zenin Kiyoshi's heart was also shattered.
Damn you, Kenjaku. After being targeted by this guy, it's really like being stuck with dog skin plaster. No matter how you shake it, you can't get rid of it!
This finger of Sukuna was most likely not sent by Tengen, but by Kenjaku.
First of all, although Tengen nominally had the management rights over most cursed objects, in the previous conversation with Tengen, Zenin Kiyoshi also learned a fact.
Whenever a cursed tool or cursed object of Grade 1 or above was to be used, Tengen needed to communicate and report to the higher-ups. The process and procedures were extremely cumbersome, and it was impossible to get it done in such a short period of time.
What's more, in the cooperation that Tengen and he had reached this time, it did not involve any "cursed tools" at all.
Cursed tools, which could be taken away by Zenin Kiyoshi at any time, were simply not something that the two of them could use as a "deposit" in their first cooperation.
The reason why Misato Kuroi and the Star Religious Group thought that the "cursed tools" were the core was actually just a cover set up by Zenin Kiyoshi and Tengen for the sake of the plan's rigor.
What was transported over were just some Grade 3 and 4 cursed tools. The most core thing was the information that was disguised as an instruction manual and sent together.
Under this premise, it was absolutely impossible for Tengen to specially arrange for Sukuna's finger to be here.
The most crucial thing was that at the beginning of the discussion, Tengen had specifically instructed him not to touch Sukuna's finger before he reached the special-grade.
Then, after excluding Tengen, the only person who could possibly have sent the finger here was Kenjaku...
Although the jujutsu world was somewhat criticized in the later part of the original story, sometimes after careful consideration, most of the logic in the entire world can be self-consistent.
The thousand-year-old plan in the gutter was a bit of a clown in the later stage, but it did not affect Kenjaku's current intelligence and strength.
At least in the original story, besides Gojo Satoru and Sukuna, no one could steadily beat Kenjaku.
In fact, in Zenin Kiyoshi's cognition, Kenjaku should be the first person under Gojo Satoru and Sukuna.
Yuta Okkotsu could absolutely not beat Kenjaku.
Without the heaven-defying conceptual god ability of Takaba to weaken him, it was impossible to kill Kenjaku with just Yuta Okkotsu's power. In fact, it was even possible that a situation where Yuta was counter-killed by Kenjaku would have occurred.
For a Grade 1 sorcerer like him to be targeted by the other party now really made Zenin Kiyoshi feel a little suffocated.
Looking at Sukuna's finger in front of him, the irritability in Zenin Kiyoshi's heart became more and more obvious. The old leader felt the air around him become more and more viscous, and only felt a little dizzy, his chest stuffy to the extreme.
Seeing this, Zenin Kiyoshi frowned, slightly relaxed a bit of the power on his body, and prepared to ask the old leader about the detailed situation at that time.
But at this moment, an indescribable terrifying gravity instantly pressed down on his body.
And the moment that power appeared, the old leader had already fainted. A gentle voice sounded, accompanied by a burst of laughter:
"You really are a cautious child. I've been following you for so long and haven't found a good opportunity to control you. But in the end, you're just a child. When you saw Sukuna's finger, the correct choice would have been to immediately burst out with all your cursed energy, immediately shatter the surrounding houses, and attract the attention of that Heavenly Restriction.
"Your behavior of staying here even though you know something is wrong is ultimately due to too little experience.
"But it doesn't matter. After you swallow this finger, you will be under my control."
Hearing the familiar voice from behind, before Zenin Kiyoshi could react, he only felt his jaw being directly dislocated. With a "gulp," a smell like a rag that had been soaked in corpse water and then dried in the shade exploded in his mouth.
The next moment, an extremely evil aura came from Zenin Kiyoshi's body. Strange black patterns instantly covered his entire face, and his temperament also underwent a earth-shattering change at this moment.
Kenjaku looked on, his face showing no emotion, but instead, he looked at the changed Zenin Kiyoshi with a calm expression.
As the black patterns continued to increase, a hint of disappointment appeared in Kenjaku's eyes as he looked at Kiyoshi.
It seemed that even Zenin Kiyoshi was no different from others. The creation of a vessel for Sukuna's finger really required the involvement of one's own flesh and blood.
Thinking of this, and thinking of the man named Jin Itadori, Kenjaku couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
As for Zenin Kiyoshi's life or death, Kenjaku actually didn't care.
This kind of thing had happened more than once in a thousand years. In order to let Sukuna out for a breath of fresh air, and also for the subsequent steps of the two's plan to correspond, Kenjaku would find an unlucky person every few decades to let Sukuna possess for a while.
Of course, due to the secrecy of the plan, the time Sukuna was out for a breath of fresh air would not be long, at most three or four days, and at least a few hours.
Zenin Kiyoshi was the unlucky person chosen at this stage.
After Sukuna finished his breath of fresh air later, he would just have to kill Kiyoshi.
But thinking about it, it was still a bit of a pity. He had originally thought that Zenin Kiyoshi's [Mimicry] technique was also the type that could only be used by "devouring others' flesh."
But now it seemed that it was not right.
But at this moment, in Zenin Kiyoshi's spiritual world, he was in a state of ecstatic joy!
