Itadori watched that curse cautiously, his eyes narrowing as the creature vanished, only to reappear from another hole in the wall.

It didn't take long for him to grasp how it worked, a small smile forming on his lips.

"So it's basically a game of whack-a-mole, huh?"

Drawing the blade from the sheath at his waist, Itadori pressed his feet into the ground until it cracked, the curse watching with interest.

"This will be quick."

Boom!

In an explosion of speed, he reached the curse in an instant, his fist flying towards the creature's head, only for it to retreat into the hole at the last second.

And emerging from a distant hole, the curse grinned disdainfully, clearly mocking the boy.

But it was caught off guard when a blade flew towards it, its head being split in half before it could react to escape.

"As I expected."

With a satisfied look, Itadori moved towards the curse's body, the formations from the cursed energy of the creature disappearing as an indication of its death.

"That was simpler than expected." With a sigh, he crouched in front of the curse's head, which slowly faded away with the wind. "But..."

But looking at what remained of the curse, he raised an eyebrow in confusion when he couldn't find what he was looking for.

"Where's the finger?"

!

Eyes widening as he felt the ground tremble, Itadori lifted his head to see a figure landing in front of him.

A figure he remembered all too well.

"Kekeke!"

The cursed spirit from the school.

"Damn."

Boom!

Jumping back as a burst of pure cursed energy flew towards him, Itadori quickly raised his arms to block it, his body being pushed back by the sheer power.

'No, this isn't the same curse.'

Blocking a punch as the curse closed the distance between them, Itadori flew backwards until he collided with the cave wall.

'This one's definitely stronger.'

Dodging to the side as an explosion of cursed energy threatened to engulf him, he quickly advanced towards the curse, his fist smashing into its stomach, the punch carrying enough force to lift it off the ground.

'But since that day, I've become much stronger.'

Boom!

Grasping the curse by the neck, he slammed it to the ground, and just as he was about to punch it, a blast of cursed energy struck his chest with enough force to push him away.

But that didn't make the boy retreat, and the moment the curse got up, a fist greeted it, blood flying from its mouth.

"You think it's over?"

But as the curse seemed to want to retreat, another fist hit it in the stomach, a barrage of punches hitting it all over as it made it retreat.

"Black..."

Receiving a punch to the jaw, the curse staggered back, its smile fading when it noticed the cursed energy building up in the young sorcerer's fist.

"Flash!"

Yuji's fist traveled at frightening speed, electricity crackling as the punch hit the curse squarely in the chest, black lightning spreading throughout the cave.

Boom!

The curse flew backwards until it collided with the wall, its legs giving way as it began to spit blood.

Its chest was destroyed, but it was still alive. Slowly, it began to heal, but at this point, it would be futile.

"Still alive? Impressive." Itadori commented as he began to approach, the boy tapping his chest to clear the smoke from the previous explosion. "I thought a single Black Flash would be enough, but it seems I was mistaken."

"Very well, it doesn't matter."

Stopping in front of the curse, Itadori watched fear arise in its features, his face impassive even in the face of the creature's terror.

"I just need to land one more."

!

About to punch the curse, Itadori froze when a new presence reached his senses, his eyes widening as he turned to see a black portal suddenly appear.

"Oh, someone's already here?"

As a new creature emerged from the portal, Itadori frowned, his lips pursing as he closely watched the new curse.

'What an ugly thing.'

"This is great! I've been dying for some fun."

The creature grinned eagerly, making Itadori shudder at its grotesque appearance.

"Get lost, ugly thing!" Allowing cursed energy to gather in his fists, Itadori got into position.

!

But realizing a huge mistake he made, the boy immediately turned to the finger-bearer curse, only to see it gathering a huge amount of cursed energy in its hand.

"Damn!"

Covering his body in cursed energy, he took the explosion head-on, his feet being dragged backwards as he quickly regained control.

"You called me..."

But as he focused on the finger-bearer curse, he didn't notice when the new opponent moved, his head turning to see it about to spit something.

*Vomit

"Ugly thing!"

Propelling himself backwards to avoid the vomit, he felt sweat trickle down his forehead as he realized he almost got covered in the strange blood.

But before he could even think about his next move, a fist struck his face, accompanied by a burst of cursed energy that engulfed his head.

Boom!

The dust spread, the two curses watching the curtain of dust.

Kechizu, who had just arrived at the scene, looked at it cautiously. When he arrived, he immediately noticed the finger-bearer curse subdued.

Compared to his older brothers, he wasn't as smart, but he could tell that the boy on the scene must be strong, probably one of the Jujutsu Sorcerers they had mentioned.

And he realized he was right when he saw the boy take a blast of cursed energy without being harmed.

He felt he wouldn't win alone, and from what the curse was doing, it knew that too.

The best thing at this point was to join forces.

"You damn pests."

But surprising both of them, when the dust finally cleared, Itadori seemed fine, except for some cuts on his face from the point-blank explosion.

"Hitting me right in the head... What if I end up being an idiot?"

"Uh?"

The two curses watched with confusion, but they immediately went on alert when the boy surged forward in a burst of speed.

Boom!

And before they could react, Kechizu received a solid punch to the stomach, his body flying backwards until it collided with a wall.

"That hurts! That hurts!"

The curse watched with shock in its eyes, quickly raising its arms to defend against a kick that pushed it back.

"Kekeke!" The curse smiled nervously, but a precise punch to its ribs quickly wiped the smile off its face.

"Black..."

With the curse bending over from the attack, Itadori retracted his fist, his eyes widening as absolute concentration took hold of his senses.

"Fla-"

But about to unleash a devastating attack, Itadori stopped when a black portal appeared behind him, two hands grabbing him by the arms and preventing him from continuing.

'What?'

"Now, Kechizu!"

Listening to the order from the portal, Itadori's eyes widened as he turned his gaze forward to see Kechizu in front of him, his cheeks bulging in anticipation.

"Yes, big brother!"

*Vomit

Blood engulfed Itadori completely, the boy gritting his teeth and breaking free from the grip on his arms, pushing himself away as he wiped the blood from his face.

"Kekeke!"

Boom!

But as he was momentarily blinded, he was unable to react when the curse struck him in the stomach, a burst of cursed energy accompanying the attack and sending him flying.

"Ugh!"

The boy spat blood from the accurate attack, and planting his feet on the ground, he held the hit area while finally clearing the blood from his eyes.

'So this is how Hanami felt... Damn, this is what they call Karma, isn't it?'

With a new strange figure that more resembled a human emerging at the scene, Itadori watched the three opponents with irritation.

'I should've sent a message to those idiots.'
