Chapter 8

The special grade curse stood ready to attack again, but something changed.

Yuji Itadori’s body moved on its own.
His posture shifted.
A cold smile formed.

Sukuna had taken full control.

The air around him grew sharp and dangerous. Even the special grade curse hesitated.

Sukuna raised a hand and spoke calmly:

“Wait.”

The powerful curse paused, confused by the sudden command. For a moment, the battle stopped. Sukuna used that quiet second to study the area — the shaking walls, the broken floors, and the cursed womb’s strong presence.

But Sukuna wasn’t focused on the curse.

His eyes drifted toward another target.

Megumi Fushiguro.

A wicked thought formed in Sukuna’s mind.

He knew Yuji cared about Megumi.
He knew hurting Megumi would force Yuji to fight back inside their shared body.
He knew Yuji might even try to take control again.

And that’s what Sukuna wanted — a challenge.

Sukuna laughed softly, enjoying the idea.

He decided he would use the pause to find Megumi.
Not to help him.
Not to save anyone.

But to push Yuji into a corner.

Inside their body, Yuji struggled, trying to break free. He could feel Sukuna’s intentions twisting like a knife. He knew Sukuna was planning something terrible.

Sukuna took a step forward, ready to move toward Megumi.

The special grade curse watched silently, unsure whether to follow or run.

The mission was already dangerous, but now the threat wasn’t just the curse.

Sukuna himself had become the true danger.
