In JJK With Naruto Powers-Chapter 117: Peek a Boo with Uraume

"As expected of Sukuna-sama, his strength remains as formidable as ever. The blood from the wounds he inflicted is quite delicious~"

Seeing this scene, Jogo and the others' mouths twitched slightly.

Who would have thought that Uraume, who always appeared so composed, actually had such a side?

Uraume ignored the strange looks from the others, and crossed her arms.

She raised her chin and said proudly, "I must admit that the boy named Kazuma is quite capable, but it is clear that Sukuna-sama is even more powerful."

Kenjaku said, "Why does it feel like Kazuma is toying with Sukuna?"

"Look, he even has the leisure to drink."

As soon as these words came out, Uraume's expression soured.

She cast a cold glance at them and said, "If you dare speak such disrespectful words again, our cooperation will end immediately."

"Haha."

Kenjaku laughed sarcastically and said, "If I remember correctly, you're just a cook for Sukuna, right?"

Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.

"Without Sukuna's consent, would you even dare?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Uraume's face darkened instantly.

Boom!

Snap!

The entire room was instantly encased in ice. The temperature plummeted to subzero levels.

Nanako and Mimiko, the weakest among them, shivered uncontrollably, their legs trembling as they clung to each other for warmth.

Kenjaku remained unfazed and turned to Jogo, speaking calmly, "Jogo, thanks for your assistance."

After Jogo used his cursed energy to restore the temperature, he advised, "Regardless, Kazuma must die today."

"Even if he's fighting Sukuna on equal terms, we can still seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, right?"

Kenjaku smirked and said, "You've become much more eloquent, Jogo."

Jogo looked at Kenjaku intently and said, "Both Dagon and Mahito died at Kazuma's hands. If they had been more cautious, they would be alive."

Kenjaku asked, "Are you blaming me for not saving Mahito and Dagon?"

Jogo snorted coldly and turned away, ignoring him.

"You and I both know that even if I had intervened, I couldn't have saved him. Combat isn't my forte." Kenjaku sighed, a hint of regret in his voice.

Among the four disaster curses, Mahito had always been the one he favored the most.

Though in terms of raw power, Mahito was the weakest, his talent and learning ability were exceptional.

Given time, it was only a matter of when, not if, he would surpass Jogo.

And when that time came, he could absorb Mahito.

But alas, the multiple layers of barriers prepared in advance for Kazuma turned out to be mostly useless.

None of it stopped him from interfering.

Fortunately, Gojo has already been sealed, so the Shibuya Incident is not a complete loss.

After a moment of contemplation, Uraume suddenly said, "I agree with Jogo's proposal. It would be best if I assist Sukuna-sama."

"But on one condition, we must not ruin Sukuna-sama's enjoyment."

This office building was relatively close to the battlefield.

If they truly wanted to act, they could certainly do so before the other sorcerers arrived.

Now that both sides could sense each other's aura, it was best to wait for the battle to unfold.

At that moment, Nanako's eyes widened in shock as she exclaimed, "Look! The sky... the sky!"

"What are you yelling about?"

Jogo scolded the two girls.

If he didn't think Sukuna might still need them, he would have incinerated them long ago.

Then, following their gaze, Jogo turned his head upward. His eyes widened, and he stood frozen in place.

Snap!

A surreal and eerie sight unfolded.

The entire sky had turned blood red. Flocks of crows circled ominously, their hoarse cries echoing through the air.

Upon closer inspection, their eyes gleamed scarlet, with several black tomoes spinning within their pupils.

"The haunting crimson glow... with tomoes?"

Wait!!

These eyes belong to Kazuma!

Jogo gasped, "Genjutsu! It's genjutsu!"

He had forgotten to warn Sukuna about this.

If anything, Kazuma's greatest strength wasn't his overwhelming Jujutsu nor his bizarre, inextinguishable black flames.

It was his inescapable genjutsu!

Uraume scoffed, "Why are you so alarmed? Sukuna-sama is not one to fear such trivial tricks."

Jogo said, "Listen, Uraume! Kazuma's genjutsu is no mere parlor trick. We'd better act now."

Jogo knew that whenever Kazuma activated his genjutsu, he himself would enter the genjutsu world with his opponent.

This meant that this was the best moment for an ambush.

He wasn't sure how well Sukuna could resist the genjutsu, but unlike last time, perhaps he wouldn't completely lose control and attack himself.

Still, he would definitely be affected.

After all, with so many eyes, if Sukuna isn't susceptible to genjutsu, who would be?

Kenjaku nodded in agreement and said, "Jogo is right. Kazuma's genjutsu is unlike anything from the sorcerers of a thousand years ago."

"Besides, has anyone in the jujutsu world ever been able to materialize genjutsu?"

He raised his gaze to the blood-red sky, then glanced at the Prison Realm containing Gojo, murmuring, "Before I sealed Gojo, he claimed that someone would rise to take the mantle of the strongest in this era."

"I didn't believe it at the time, but now, it's clear—that person has arrived."

Did Gojo really say something like that?

If so... she must reconsider everything.

As this thought crossed her mind, Uraume clenched her fists.

Her gaze fixed on Kazuma, who crouched atop a telephone pole in the distance.

For some reason, even from this distance, she could sense an unsettling energy radiating from him.

Especially those ever-glowing red eyes—even without direct eye contact, they sent a chill down her spine.

Could this be an ominous force?

Just as Uraume was scrutinizing him, Kazuma seemed to notice her.

He raised a hand to cover his Rinnegan, then abruptly turned his gaze toward the office building.

Locking eyes with Uraume, he grinned.

"You!"

"Huff... Huff..."

Uraume instinctively took two steps back, clutching her chest as her breath came in rapid gasps.

Cold sweat trickled down her forehead.
