I, in a Jujutsu Kaisen Manga, Take the Detective Conan World by Storm

Nanami Kento's mind was blank for an instant. The scene before him seemed too unreal.

What happened? Who was this person in front of him? What just occurred?

A string of bubble-like questions surged up. The usually calm and mature Nanami Kento rarely had such moments.

The last time he crashed like this was when he heard Gojo reveal Yuikawa Kurisu's true face.

In short, the conflict between reality and memory was too great to react to immediately.

The brown-haired youth's expression was focused, his face rarely without its usual sly smile, dark eyes bright and resolute like gems.

Just now, that instant of abundant cursed energy and the powerful cursed blade after swinging, if it had happened with Okkotsu Yuta, Nanami Kento wouldn't have any emotional fluctuation.

But the one holding the blade and achieving this before him was actually Watanabe.

This was the little youth who was in poor health, new to the jujutsu world, and still in middle school first year...!?

Could this be some enemy technique? Besides flame jujutsu, could that volcano-head one-eyed cursed spirit also create illusions??

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. Nanami Kento's body was somewhat stiff, rarely doubting his vision and perception...

Or perhaps these were fantasies caused by excessive blood loss.

Nanami Kento couldn't use reverse cursed technique. His dominant hand twisted in an unnatural position was bloody and covered with burn marks. He could only roughly use cursed energy to barely slow blood loss.

The body that had urgently mobilized due to Little Sheep's appearance now calmed down, and fatigue and pain surged back into his mind.

As a jujutsu sorcerer, Nanami Kento's physical condition and pain tolerance were better than ordinary people, but as long as one was human, death from blood loss was unavoidable.

He wasn't at the point of death yet, just inevitably somewhat consciousness-blurred from blood loss.

Thick smoke billowed ahead. The enemy whose attack was blocked also seemed to be assessing the situation due to this sudden change, not rashly proceeding to the next step.

However, Nanami Kento still wasn't certain whether the scene just now was real or fake, coincidence or inevitability, perhaps it was the brown-haired youth's temporary burst in crisis.

He opened his mouth, what came out was still low urging: "...Go quickly!"

He was an adult. Protecting minors was his responsibility. Nanami Kento didn't want the brown-haired youth to face danger, not even a slight possibility.

Little Sheep Jiang Lai half-turned his face, looking up slightly.

From those dark, clear eyes, Nanami Kento saw his own disheveled appearance after being injured reflected within.

Nanami Kento straightened his back with effort, making himself appear less vulnerable.

He raised his hand to gently push away Little Sheep Jiang Lai's hand that had just gripped the blade handle, once again holding the blade horizontally in front, using adult responsibility to support his spine.

"Go!" he said tersely in a low voice.

"Alright." This time, the brown-haired youth finally spoke.

However, he nodded and softly added: "We'll go."

Nanami Kento's lips moved. He wanted to say that the current situation required someone to cover the rear, but was also worried the youth would stubbornly choose to protect him, so his words turned, seemingly coldly saying:

"I came here to handle the mission of missing persons near Mount Fuji. You being here will hinder me. I don't have time to look after you. Please leave here quickly."

His gaze fell ahead, not looking at the brown-haired youth's expression beside him. Nanami Kento knew such cold and distant words would hurt.

The moment his words fell, the ground beneath their feet suddenly cracked, violently spouting a cluster of scorching high-temperature lava!

Jogo on the opposite side launched another attack!

Nanami Kento, who had already exchanged blows with Jogo, was somewhat familiar with the other's techniques.

The moment he sensed cursed energy fluctuations in the ground, he used his cleaver's back to push away Little Sheep Jiang Lai while also leaping away in the opposite direction.

The red burst like hellfire roared out. Under the high temperature burning, the surrounding air temperature rose steadily. When Nanami Kento landed, he was somewhat unsteady, staggering backward several steps.

With this big movement, his arm wound tore even more, blood flowing down the twisted bone joints and dripping to the ground.

As a Grade 1 jujutsu sorcerer, being able to wrestle with a special grade cursed spirit for so long was already the limit. Nanami Kento felt dizzy, but he knew now wasn't the time to fall.

...At least he had to escort that child out first.

Nanami Kento mobilized his willpower, secretly gritting his teeth. Just as he prepared to raise his blade and advance again, another abrupt thunder roar came from ahead!

From the smoke and dust to the side, a vigorous black wolf dog suddenly leaped out, its devil horns on its head gathering powerful lightning jujutsu. It was another shikigami Shadow Dog (Matsuda Jinpei) summoned by Little Sheep.

Today the Detective Conan friends happened to all be on vacation, so Jiang Lai tentatively summoned Matsuda Jinpei, who very capably appeared immediately and tacitly understood Jiang Lai's signal in an instant, directly unleashing his ultimate!

Crackling lightning clashed with the high-temperature flames bursting from the ground. The interweaving battle between jujutsu and jujutsu directly competed in strength. The flashing lightning devoured the flames, also striking the earth and suppressing that surging cursed energy lava!

The ability level of shikigami was related to the summoner. At this moment, Matsuda Jinpei could unleash jujutsu sufficient to oppose special grade because Little Sheep Jiang Lai was no longer hiding his strength, but openly using seventy percent of his cursed energy.

The reason for using seventy percent was because Jiang Lai felt this situation didn't require full power, better to keep some in reserve.

Although his strength had weakened compared to a thousand years ago, Jiang Lai's main body [Existence] power could still fight Sukuna without falling behind.

If he directly used his main body's power, the current situation wouldn't be evenly matched but one-sided victory.

In the original work, Ryomen Sukuna had completely defeated Jogo, though he gave Jogo a very good evaluation at the end.

Jiang Lai still planned to keep the Little Sheep disguise, only revealing that his strength wasn't simple, facilitating future message transmission and cooperation.

So he only used seventy percent of his main body's cursed energy, creating just the right ability level.

After all, it couldn't be too ridiculous. This disguise's appearance was still a middle school youth, Jiang Lai thought.

Nanami Kento didn't know Little Sheep Jiang Lai's inner thoughts, but facing the scene before him, he couldn't help but think of an emoji he'd glimpsed:

What is this!! Still in the human world?.jpg

Watching the sickly youth he'd taken in at home suddenly power up to brawl with special grade cursed spirits, Nanami Kento fell silent.

Silence was the base color of Mount Fuji (not really).

Excessive blood loss plus overwhelming impact, Nanami Kento felt his vision darkening. He couldn't control his stumbling fall, but in the end he didn't hit the ground.

Before losing consciousness, Nanami Kento felt something warm and fluffy catch him.

The pure white, flawless unicorn from Little Sheep half-knelt to support him, and Nanami Kento fell onto the unicorn's back.

When Jiang Lai charged forward, Morofushi Hiromitsu had perceived the situation and understood that Jiang Lai's actions were to protect Nanami. Therefore, without need for words, he tacitly came here in time.

Morofushi Hiromitsu's spirit shikigami identity wasn't combat-type. The best approach now was naturally support.

After Nanami Kento fell unconscious, he used his horn's cursed energy to stabilize Nanami Kento's body so he wouldn't fall.

He'd leave the scene to Jiang Lai and Matsuda, first taking this person out. Morofushi Hiromitsu, carrying the golden-haired young man, leaped as his elegant unicorn form turned into a white shadow rushing out of the surrounding flames following his intuitive talent!

On the other side.

Little Sheep Jiang Lai held his phone, calmly and maturely commanding and controlling the scene.

The wolf dog Matsuda, his body filled with power, moved with agile steps. Being a police officer by profession, he wasn't afraid of danger at all. Under Jiang Lai's guidance and command, he circled around the small volcanoes erupting from the ground, lightning striking directly at the cursed spirit's main body!

Facing the powerful brown-haired youth, the volcano-head cursed spirit Jogo actually felt incredulous too.

But as a cursed spirit who knew nothing about Little Sheep's previous image, his acceptance level was higher than Nanami Kento's.

Jogo thought the youth before him was an experienced but young-looking special grade jujutsu sorcerer.

Speaking of which, he'd learned about the special grade jujutsu sorcerers on the human side. Six Eyes had a student, a not-too-old youth special grade... seemed to be called Okkotsu something?

Jogo recalled briefly for a moment.

If so, the powerful youth before him must be Okkotsu! Just dyed his black hair brown.

The reason for thinking it was Okkotsu was because there were only so many human special grade jujutsu sorcerers, countable on fingers. It was impossible for one to appear out of nowhere.

Excluding Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, and Tsukumo Yuki, the only one fitting the youth special grade characteristics was naturally Okkotsu.

As they say, know your enemy and know yourself to win every battle. Jogo, who had the ideal of cursed spirits replacing humans, naturally had researched the outside special grade jujutsu sorcerers.

He knew this Okkotsu once had a childhood friend who died and became the special grade vengeful cursed spirit [Rika]. Later, after the curse was broken, [Rika] became a Buddha and left, but left that cursed spirit body for Okkotsu to use...

Could the demon dog before him be Rika?

Jogo felt the image before him didn't quite match the rumors, but this didn't stop him from taunting. Jogo raised his voice:

"I've long heard of you... seeing you today is truly unexpected. After all this time, you still only hide behind your woman?"

Little Sheep Jiang Lai: "?"

Matsuda Jinpei: "??"

Morofushi Hiromitsu, who had just mounted Nanami Kento and was about to leap out of the scene but had keen hearing: "???"

Jogo's words caused the entire scene to fall silent!

The air was strangely quiet for three seconds, making even Jogo feel somewhat mysteriously awkward.

Jogo's intention was to provoke the brown-haired youth "Okkotsu" behind to come forward a bit, so he could directly attack the other's main body, because he noticed the other wasn't carrying the rumored long blade cursed tool.

"What, hit the mark?" Jogo decided to abandon the mysterious silence just now, pressing his advantage to continue using the same tone.

The wolf dog Matsuda Jinpei's cursed spirit beast expression could also be extraordinarily rich. He first raised an eyebrow, then drew out his magnetic tail tone, directly retorting: "Hah? What dogshit are you talking about?!"

Jiang Lai: "......" Matsuda, with your canine form, retorting about "dogshit" gives a very weird feeling!

Hearing Matsuda Jinpei's mature male voice, Jogo's expression also changed for an instant. His single eye half-raised with some contemplation:

"[Rika] was originally male? If so, perhaps Okkotsu is female. Rumors really aren't accurate enough. What cunning humans."

Jiang Lai: This isn't about humans being cunning or not... it's completely mistaken identity!!
