Ichimokuren's air blast detonated against the skeleton hand just before it could swat at them. The concussive force of the blast tore Naruto off noodle's back. Flung into the open air, the boy could only swing his chain. The sickle bit deep into the skeleton's ulna bone. Naruto swung his body, converting his freefall into a pendulum arc. Unfortunately, the anchor turned into mist.
"My Cursed Technique is Photo Manipulation," Nanako loudly announced, thrusting her smartphone forward. Cursed energy erupted over the camera lens. "Whatever I apply to the photo happens to the real-world target."
The binding vow of revealing loud increased her cursed energy output and technique effectiveness. Nanako violently swiped her thumb across the screen, moving Naruto away from the skull before it could bite. Seizing the opening, Ichimokuren unleashed a blade of wind towards the skull. Meanwhile Naruto made a shadow clone to throw him towards gashadokuro.
"This is for all the people you killed!" the boy roared, covering his fist in a dense layer of raw chakra. Right before his fist could connect, the skull dissolved completely into mist. The boy's momentum carried him through the rotten-egg smelling hot mist.
Naruto gagged mid-air while falling down.
Ichimokuren dived after him.
Meanwhile a massive pillar of spinal bone rapidly coalesced in mid-air. The spine opened up like a furnace vent, releasing massive jets of green hellfire. Ichimokuren was forced to abandon Naruto to escape out of the path of the flames. Even in freefall with a wave of fire rushing toward him, Naruto had a brilliant idea.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Two clones popped in front of him. A Rasengan formed between their hands. The swirling sphere of chakra caused a localized vortex. By redirecting the air currents to create a temporary shield that blocked the oncoming torrent of green flames.
"Noodle! Send me the anchor!"
The dragon dislodged the heavy iron anchor on its neck. Naruto yanked the sickle end off and threw the bare chain line upward.
"Ninja Art: Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Naruto used the clones as platforms while swinging the chain. But the moment the anchor was thrown, the skeleton's spine dissolved once again. A bony hand manifesting out of nowhere to grab the chains. The action confused Naruto, making him wonder; if the curse could only manifest one part of its body at a time, never two simultaneously.
Poof.
The chain snapped, turning into a cloud of white smoke and causing the heavy anchor to plummet to the forest floor below.
Naruto clicked his tongue in disappointment. He really wanted to use that anchor for a finishing move. A claw grabbed the boy by the hood of his jacket, pulling him back onto their back.
"Thanks for the save, Noodle," Naruto said, patting the dragon's scales while dodging a green fireball. "Guys! The curse can only manifest one part of its body at a time! And I'm guessing it needs a few seconds of rest to manifest those snot flames!"
"Great, but how do we actually damage it before it turns back into mist?"
"We need to force something to hold the curse from dissolving."
"Maybe my Cursed Technique can force it to stay," Mimiko replied. "My technique is Hanged King. It manifests an invisible noose around a target's neck, hanging them in the air."
Naruto nodded. They were familiar with the basics of her ability. So why repeat them?
"Usually; with low-grade curses, having them within my line of sight is more than enough to establish a connection. But against powerful targets, a physical piece would be required for my CT to work."
"Ah," Naruto said as he didn't know about that. "So you could force the curse to manifest at least the neck for us to attack?"
Nanako let out a giggle at the phrasing.
"For now, I can at least tell exactly where the curse is going to manifest next with my technique," Mimiko said.
"Got it!" Naruto said, standing upright on Ichimokuren's back. He summoned a single clone to help him with the rasengan. "Nana! It's all on you now!"
"Let's call this tactic the Peek-a-Boo Rasengan."
With a sharp tap of her screen, she edited him above the location Mimiko had signaled.
"Rasengan!"
Naruto slammed the roaring sphere directly into the crown of the skull. This stunned the giant long enough to allow the boy to grab a bone shard. Nanako edited him right back onto Ichimokuren's back.
"Quick! Before it turns to mist!" He yelled as he shoved the bone piece into the doll.
Mimiko took a deep breath as she tightly wrapped the miniature noose around the neck of her doll. Her CT created a house sized noose around Gashadokuro's skeletal neck. Even if the noose wasn't choking it. The item forced Gashadokuro to maintain the skull state.
"I can only maintain this for thirty seconds!" Mimiko yelled as she poured alot of her cursed energy into maintaining the noose.
"Nana, I need the anchor!" Naruto shouted.
The girl trusted the boy's tactical judgment. Channeling CE into her eyes, she rapidly located the anchor from the lingering chakra on it, and edited the item into Naruto's waiting hands before moving the ninja above the suspended skull.
Naruto clasped one end of the anchor's ring. Focusing a surge of chakra into his muscles, he whipped his arms around to swing the heavy weight in a high-speed circle. Under the extreme centrifugal force and sudden kinetic tension, the links began to visibly crack. Seeing the weapon failing, Naruto adjusted his trajectory while free falling and aimed for the giant skull. Ichimokuren rushed forward to catch the boy.
CRACK!
SNAP!
The massive anchor rocketed forward, coated in a layer of blue chakra. It smashed clean into the back of the skull and tore out through the forehead. But even that devastating impact wasn't enough to put down the Special Grade.
"Like hell it isn't!" Nanako yelled as she locked her camera onto the flying projectile.
With a frantic flurry of her thumbs, she edited the anchor to reappear directly above the skull. The heavy iron retained its momentum, and the girl edited it back onto the skull at different angles. The anchor punched through the titan's head repeatedly until it was riddled with gaping holes
Both twins suddenly gasped, blood trickling from their noses as their vision blurred. The consecutive, high-intensity use of their cursed techniques had completely exhausted their small energy reserves.
Naruto launched himself off the dragon's back one last time. He slammed a Rasengan into it. The force blew the entire skull apart into a cloud of white smoke.
Mid-air, the boy summoned a shadow clone directly beneath him. The clone braced itself and delivered a well-timed kick to the original's back. Naruto used a tight tucked roll across the forest floor to disperse the kinetic energy. He laid there for a moment, catching his breath as the dust settled.
"Is it done?" Naruto wondered aloud, spotting the battered iron anchor a hundred meters away. A shadow clone popped into existence to retrieve the weapon. The boy finally relaxed the moment he saw the twins safely descending from itsumade's back.
"Are you two hurt?"
"When you're a twin in the world of Jujutsu, you have to go through a lot of challenges," Nanako said, wiping her nose with the back of her sleeve. Mimiko gave a thumbs up. Before Naruto could even ask her to elaborate on what she meant, the ground shuddered.
Massive ribs violently jutted out of the earth like a cage of ivory.
"It's not dead yet!" Naruto yelled. He lunged forward grabbing both twins by their hands and flinging them into the open air. Itsumade broke the ribs before they could fully close.
FWOOSH!
A blanket of sickly green fire erupted from the subterranean cavern beneath the ribs. Naruto covered his skin in a layer of chakra while he jumped out.
He was too late.
The green flames caught him.
Normally, a layer of chakra over his skin would have insulated him from the fire. But these cursed green flames seemed to use his chakra as a fuel.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Naruto was being burned alive.
Nanako's eyes flared with desperation. Ignoring the splitting headache from her depleted reserves, she snapped a frantic picture of the burning boy. She used her Photo Manipulation technique to edit the flames clean out of Naruto's body. The young shinobi was on his knees, gasping heavily as first degree burns covered his body. The trio was severely injured. But as the ground continued to shake beneath them, they knew the fight was far from over.
Gashadokuro fully manifested itself.
A skyscraper-sized skeleton stood against the blood-red moon. A deep sense of despair fell upon the children. As the only bright side one could even look at was that the skeleton was missing a head.
"Noodle and Chicken, attack that thing," Naruto barely managed to make out those words. But they seemingly obeyed the boy's command and attacked Gashadokuro.
The kids supported each other to escape while the curses fought.
Ichimokuren took to the skies, riding the thermal drafts in a dizzying blur. It opened its claws, channeling the wind to unleash devastating wind cuts. A rapid-fire barrage of wind blades that slammed into the titan's massive clavicles. Simultaneously, Itsumade utilized her physicals to wage a brutal close-quarters assault. Swooping down like a falling meteor, she rammed her iron-hard body directly into the giant's sternum. Her talons dug deep into the marrow, shredding through the massive rib cage. While her scaly snake tail whipped the titan's green heart.
But one of the 16 registered special grade curses would not be subdued so easily.

Cliffhanger-kun strikes again. Now onto the Q&A.

Q: Can you explain the techniques of the twins?
Nanako and her twin sister Mimiko are clearly based on the classic early 2000s J-horror girl trope. In fact they are even named after the two sisters in the famous movie "One Missed Call."
Anyways, Nanako's CT is Photo Manipulation.
Basically she takes a picture of someone, which effectively places a curse on them, allowing her to deal damage by editing the photo. This affects anyone or anything in the photo including herself and the surroundings. Some examples:
Crop: She can crop someone, usually removing a part of their body. Cropping their head results in an instant kill. She can also crop her surroundings to destroy cursed tools if she has enough CE, or use it less violently to crop herself out of the photo and reappear somewhere else within it.
Filters: She can put a filter on herself by taking a selfie, changing her appearance to the point of giving herself actual cat ears. She can also put a filter on herself and her surroundings, changing the color, tone, warmth, and tint to effectively camouflage herself to the point of near invisibility.
Zoom In: When Nanako takes a picture she can zoom in on someone, pulling them toward her. Even if they are far away they get pulled in for a sneak attack. This often disorients enemies due to how fast and suddenly they are moved.
Flash: When she takes a photo she can amplify the flash to disorient the enemy.
True Flash: This costs a lot of CE but makes the light so bright and hot that it fully blinds the target for a couple of seconds while the heat burns their skin.
Low Resolution Photo: By making the photo horrible quality, she makes the surroundings look blurry and unfinished. She can even use this on herself to make her appearance and CE signature blurry to the point where it is difficult to sense, almost like it is glitching.
Note: Due to Nanako being a twin, her CE reserves are shared between her and her sister. So her potential is limited, similar to Maki's.

Mimiko Hasaba
CT: Hanged King.
Mimiko's innate technique at base allows her to manifest a noose around a specified target's neck and hang them in the air a meter or two off the ground. Her technique is activated through two cursed tools.
The King: A raggedy reddish stuffed doll with a simple face and stitches all over its figure.
Noose: A simple thick rope tied into a tiny noose, fitting perfectly over The King's neck.
To hang a target, a few conditions must be met.
1. The target must have some form of connection with either Mimiko or The King. With low grade sorcerers or cursed spirits, simply being within line of sight is enough to establish a connection. With stronger targets, a piece of the target must be inserted into The King, such as a strand of hair. The stronger the connection, the stronger the rope that hangs them.
2. Mimiko must tie the noose around The King and tighten it. This manifests a rope suddenly around the target's neck.
3. Mimiko must let go of The King and dangle it by the rope. The target will suddenly be pulled up into the sky a few meters by the noose.
Once a target dies, if a piece of them was inserted into The King, that piece disappears. After a while the rope will also disappear, dropping them to the ground. If the connection is insufficient, the target can break the rope through force before death.
Extension Techniques
Group Execution: This extension is not suited for direct combat and requires more preparation. Mimiko gathers mass amounts of pieces from many targets and puts them all inside The King, creating a strong connection to many targets even at long distance. At the end of her gathering she continues with her normal hanging procedure, hanging many individuals with one big attack. This extension is very CE heavy and will drain her due to her average reserves.
King's Echo: Through the connection between the doll and the target, Mimiko gains a limited form of clairvoyance, sensing things about the target such as vague locations, their surroundings, and what they are feeling.
