Outside;
Kenjaku sat cross-legged outside Dagon's domain, tilting his head and supporting his face with one hand, while the other hand tossed a black spherical object. Inside, a grotesque-looking Cursed Spirit could faintly be seen.
For this ambush on Yuki Tsukumo, he had already made thorough preparations. In his plan, there were actually three domain confrontations prepared for Yuki Tsukumo: one by himself, one by Jogo, and one by Dagon. And after these three domain confrontations, the true killing blow would come.
The fourth Special Grade Cursed Spirit – Smallpox Deity, a Special Grade specific disease Cursed Spirit born from humanity's fear of smallpox (chickenpox), possessing Domain Expansion.
Although he felt like he had overlooked something, it seemed now that his final killing move might not be necessary.
"I wonder if things are going smoothly over there."
Kenjaku, believing that victory was assured here, turned his head to look in the direction of Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical High School, muttering to himself,
"If Hanami encounters Satoru Gojo, as long as it remembers my advice, it should survive. I just don't know if Mahito can successfully bring Ryomen Sukuna out.
If it fails, then we'll just have to move on to the next plan earlier. Hmm?"
Kenjaku's words were cut short as his expression suddenly changed. He stared intently ahead. There, he sensed a familiar Cursed Energy and another unfamiliar Cursed Energy rapidly approaching. The familiar Cursed Energy belonged to Yuki Tsukumo's Shikigami, Garuda!
"So that's it. Did she let her Shikigami escape before Jogo expanded his domain?"
Kenjaku sensed the rapidly approaching Garuda and the other unfamiliar Cursed Energy, and immediately understood what he had overlooked before: Yuki Tsukumo's Shikigami was gone!
After careful recollection, Kenjaku suddenly realized. No wonder the time it took Yuki Tsukumo to break through Jogo's domain was longer than he had anticipated.
He had thought he had overestimated Yuki Tsukumo's strength.
Now it seemed that wasn't the case; instead, she had released her Shikigami before Jogo expanded his domain!
"So, is that her sending her Shikigami to find reinforcements?"
Kenjaku stood up, watching vigilantly in the direction where Garuda and the other unfamiliar Cursed Energy were rapidly approaching.
As long as the reinforcements brought by Yuki Tsukumo's Shikigami weren't Satoru Gojo, there was no way they could rescue Yuki Tsukumo from him.
"? Is that ———"
When Kenjaku saw the figure following Garuda, he was slightly stunned at first, then immediately showed an expression of pleasant surprise.
Because he recognized it: the reinforcements brought by Yuki Tsukumo's Shikigami were actually the child she had taken from him fifteen years ago!
On the other side.
"Chirpy chirpy!~"
As Garuda neared its destination, it slowed down a bit, then let out a series of strange sounds toward Naruto, who was following behind. The meaning was:
"We're almost there, the enemy is strong, get ready for battle."
"I already know!"
Naruto also sensed the powerful Cursed Energy ahead and responded to Garuda. Then he said,
"But I can't sense Big Sister's aura. She must have been pulled into a special domain and is fighting inside. You're Big Sister's Shikigami; you should be able to find her, right?"
Garuda nodded immediately upon hearing Naruto's words, indicating that it could. It was Yuki Tsukumo's Shikigami, and even if Yuki Tsukumo was within another person's domain, Garuda could directly tear space and appear beside her through its Cursed Energy connection with Yuki Tsukumo.
"Alright then!"
Seeing Garuda nod, Naruto immediately grabbed its body and directly injected a massive amount of Cursed Energy into it.
Then he quickly said, "You take my Cursed Energy and find Big Sister. I'll handle the rest!"
"Chirpy chirpy!~"
After Naruto injected Cursed Energy into Garuda, its body directly grew a size larger, then it excitedly nodded toward Naruto.
At this moment, it felt stronger than ever before!
A moment later;
Naruto followed Garuda to Kenjaku's location. Then Garuda immediately flew to the location of Dagon's domain, twisting its body and drilling directly into the domain.
Seeing this, Kenjaku's eyes widened instantly. He had never expected Yuki Tsukumo's Shikigami to have the ability to invade domains.
And he felt that the Shikigami seemed to have grown a bit larger than before.
However, he no longer had the time to think about those things. Instead, he excitedly yelled toward Naruto, who was flying toward him, "Naruto, I am your ————."
"Get out of my face!"
Naruto had no intention of wasting words with Kenjaku. He instantly appeared in front of him with a flash, then delivered a flying kick that sent Kenjaku's body flying like a meteor, disappearing instantly beyond the horizon.
Although Kenjaku's appearance had changed from fifteen years ago, Naruto had already guessed his identity the moment he saw the stitches on his forehead.
But after guessing his identity, Naruto immediately also guessed that he was definitely the culprit behind the attack on Yuki Tsukumo. Therefore, the kick he just delivered was with his absolute full strength!
Naruto stared in the direction where Kenjaku was kicked away for a while, then turned his head to look at where Garuda had disappeared, whispering, "Big Sister, please be alright!"

Inside Dagon's domain;
Yuki Tsukumo was struggling to resist Dagon's attacks. The endless stream of Shikigami, coupled with Jogo's occasional assaults, had already left her exhausted. Her Cursed Energy was almost completely depleted, and her body was covered in wounds. She was on the verge of being unable to withstand the endless Shikigami attacks within Dagon's domain.
Pfft!
A Shikigami broke through Yuki Tsukumo's defense, its sharp teeth biting into her arm, followed closely by more, even fiercer attacks.
"Is this the end?"
The exhausted Yuki Tsukumo felt her body being torn apart, as if she could already sense the breath of death.
Whoosh!~
Suddenly, Garuda's figure broke through the void and instantly flew to Yuki Tsukumo's side. As its long body twisted, it instantly shredded all the fish-like Shikigami that were biting her. Then it coiled around Yuki Tsukumo, rapidly injecting its own Cursed Energy into her body.
"Hmm?"
Yuki Tsukumo, receiving the Cursed Energy infusion from Garuda, instantly recovered her state. She immediately used Reverse Cursed Technique to heal herself, then looked at Garuda in surprise and asked,
"This is — Naruto's Cursed Energy? You brought him here?"
"Chirpy chirpy!~"
Garuda nodded, then shook its head, and made sounds to explain, meaning: "Naruto forced me to bring him here, I couldn't help myself."
"Useless!"
Yuki Tsukumo's face darkened upon hearing Garuda's explanation. She then raised her hand and gripped its head, saying coldly,
"First, deal with the current trouble. I'll settle accounts with you later."
Yuki Tsukumo letting Garuda go was not to ask for reinforcements, but to have it deliver a message to Naruto, telling Naruto to find Satoru Gojo. She never expected it to bring Naruto here instead!
"Chirpy chirpy!~"
Garuda made a whiny sound, then its body began to change, transforming into the shape of a long bone whip.
Yuki Tsukumo gripped Garuda tightly, activated her technique, bestowed her technique upon Garuda, and began to counterattack Dagon and Jogo!
