It's been a month since Sukuna gained his freedom at the Goodwill Event in September, and it was just a few days until Halloween.
During this time, both sides have been preparing for their eventual final clash that could happen at any moment.
During their training, Gojo brought one of his star students, Yuta Okkotsu, back to Japan to join in the training, and all the students have grown exponentially compared to what they were before, pushing their limits every single day without rest to ensure they're ready.
Currently, Yuji and all the other Tokyo Jujutsu High students were gathered after another day of training.
"I can't get over how strong are, Gojo-sensei wasn't lying when he said you were his strongest student." Yuji smiled holding his bicep as he looked at Yuta who was also beaten by Gojo in today's training.
"Thanks, but your physical strength is something even I can't match haha"
"You two are both freaks in my opinion" Nobara complained bruised and beaten after Gojo had begun forcing her to join the daily training for what he called her own good.
"Salmon"
"Inumaki's right, we've all gotten a lot stronger than before sure, but I can't help but wonder if this will be enough for whatever's coming." Panda said seated on the ground.
"At any rate, all we can hope for is that Gojo can handle the main threat, Sukuna. The rest we can definitely clean up." Maki spoke as she laid on the bench exhausted.
She'd been frustrated that she couldn't awaken the fullest of her heavenly restriction. Gojo had told her of another man from the Zenin-clan who was in her exact position, yet could overpower even special grades.
"Hey where's Megumi, I haven't seen him at training for a week now." Yuji asked as behind him Megumi spoke.
"I've been trying to master maintaining the barrier for my domain expansion."
"I think I'm getting quite close to doing it, and once I do, I'll try to tame my last Shikigami then."
"Wouldn't it make more sense to tame that shikigami then do the domain thingy?" Yuji raised an eyebrow.
"That would be the case if the final shikigami wasn't what it was." Megumi grumbled as if annoyed.
He remembered a few days ago when he tried to tame Mahoraga only for Gojo to have to bail him out after he misjudged Mahoraga's survivability.
"Well I'm sure you'll get it down in no time, and become even stronger." Yuji pat Megumi on the back with a grin as Megumi sweat dropped.
Yuji needed to learn how to control his strength a bit more, even his casual gestures hurt now.

"That's good Uraume!" Sukuna leapt backwards into the air just as a massive wave of sharp ice spiked from the ground.
While mid-air Sukuna spun, kicking the massive block of ice Uraume made in his path to shards, yet on contact the area that met the ice was instantly frostbitten.
Seconds later the area returned to normal through RCT as Sukuna kicked off the air with such force it launched him straight at Uraume who was running to reposition herself, only to have her face grabbed in a blur and slammed into the ground.
"Looks like I lost again, master Sukuna." Uraume groaned a bit dizzy from the impact.
"Yeah, well you lasted longer than most would against me, be proud." Sukuna removed his hand allowing Uraume to stand.
Over this period of time, Sukuna had been gathering abilities from his system whenever he got bored. He didn't want to make his battle against the sorcerers at Tokyo and Kyoto Jujutsu High to be too unfair, but he also couldn't help but love a good fight if he could get one, and his system offered infinite fights for free.
Currently his abilities were all of Sukuna's original abilities, the reversal of said abilities, the Search quirk, the Super Soldier physical amplification as well as Heavenly Restriction, and he recently copied Muzan Kibutsuji's demon physiology without the weakness to sunlight, mainly for the multiple brains and hearts so he could use his jujutsu longer; the stamina was a great bonus.
Sadly he didn't have a particular blood demon art, simply absolute control over his own biology. That didn't matter though, the real advantage was his 5 brains and 7 hearts.
With this he could use 3 brains for his main Jujutsu, and the last two for RCT primarily while also being able to switch them out at will and avoid the decapitation weakness of sorcerers. He could also form mouths anywhere on his body to chant even faster.
Truly a killing machine.
"I see you two are training as always," Kenjaku said with a smile as he approached casually.
"Yeah, no need to state the obvious. Now what do you need?"
"Right. I've finished preparations for my plan. The time has come to kill Satoru Gojo, and begin the culling games."
"Hehe, great. If I'd gotten any more bored I'd have killed the lot of you and gone to fight them myself." Sukuna grinned as Kenjaku didn't retort.
Looking over his shoulder at Uraume, Sukuna told them to be prepared for the battle with the Jujutsu schools.
Uraume nodded with obedience, their dark pink eyes filled with purple kanji reading, Jōgen no Ichi (Upper Rank One).
'I do wonder what you did to make your bodies like that,' Kenjaku thought, interested in how their biology had changed suddenly one day.

(October 31, 2018)
Location - Shibuya Crossing
At exactly 7:00 PM, a barrier 400 meters in every direction was dropped over Shibuya Special Ward by unknown Curse Users, trapping hundreds of thousands of civilians.
They left a single demand.
"Bring Satoru Gojo."
