Funny Valentine, also known as the President, a character from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. If memory served, a manga of the same name existed in this world.
Schwarzer found related materials on a Japanese website, confirming she wasn't mistaken.
So, what was the situation now? The President had appeared. Was this someone's Cursed Technique?
And how had Sukuna appeared? Schwarzer was certain nothing had happened to Itadori, nor to Fushiguro Megumi.
Judging by the clothes, had he revived using Uraume's body?
Schwarzer frowned, sensing an unnatural aura. Too many coincidences ceased to be coincidences. As someone who often orchestrated plots herself, she could clearly feel that someone was intervening.
In the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, only Kenjaku could accomplish something like this. But Kenjaku was completely under her surveillance; her Shadow Clone was still with Hanami.
So, while it was possible Kenjaku was working against her, it also seemed highly unlikely...
Schwarzer shook her head, casting aside some of her more pointed thoughts. No matter who was pulling the strings from behind the scenes, she was confident that she would be the one to win in the end.
She put away the Rinnegan in her hand. She would find an opportunity later to give it to Obito, letting him serve as a penultimate boss. Every member of the Celestial Organization had to be used to their full potential.
Uchiha Itachi would target Naruto and the others, which would be perfect for awakening Sasuke's power. Kenjaku, using Geto Suguru's body, could play the rival to Gojo Satoru.
As for now, she needed to see for herself just what this President was. If the opportunity arose, she would make him her pawn as well. An opponent's piece can sometimes be of use.
On the deserted streets, their battle had sliced through all the surrounding buildings. Of course, this was mainly Sukuna's doing.
His slashes easily cleaved through buildings, leaving giant gashes all around.
The Nine-Tails had already seized the opportunity to retreat to the edge of the battlefield. He and Naruto chose to watch the fight from the sidelines.
'Just what is this President? I can't understand his ability at all.'
For the first time in a while, Naruto actually used his brain, observing the battle between the two and trying to deduce their abilities.
Sukuna's Cursed Technique was, simply put, 'slashes.' He had already learned this in his classes at Jujutsu High. Though they were ordinary slashes, in Sukuna's hands, they were terrifyingly potent.
A casual strike could slice a building in two. If an attack like that landed on him, he'd be in pieces. That is, unless he fully unleashed the Nine-Tails' power.
However, Sukuna's fighting style wasn't the most terrifying thing. What Naruto found most troublesome was the President standing opposite him.
'What's wrong? Tired already? Such feeble attacks are completely useless against me.'
'In the end, you're just too weak, Sukuna. The times have changed. This is no longer an era for old relics like you to run rampant. This is—my era.'
As the President spoke, a shadow behind him instantly lunged forward, landing a punch on Sukuna.
'Damn it! This again!'
Sukuna crossed his four arms to protect his body, but it was useless. The shadow seemed to ignore his defense, striking him squarely in the chest.
The intense pain only fueled Sukuna's fighting spirit, but he still had no idea what the other's Cursed Technique was.
CRACK—
Sukuna endured the pain, swinging a hand-chop the very instant he was hit. The terrifying slash struck the President, continued past him, and sliced off another section of the building behind.
The part of the attack that made contact with the President vanished. The shockwave of the slash was as if it had been cut off in the middle.
'He didn't dodge it. He took my attack head-on.'
'Attacking at the same time he does is also pointless. It will just be blocked again.'
Sukuna stared intently at his opponent. He never expected that the first person he would face after his revival would be such a 'nobody.'
And what's more, he was at a disadvantage! The President's attacks ignored defense, but their damage wasn't high. He hadn't even used Reverse Cursed Technique, able to tank them with sheer physical resilience.
But if this continued, and he couldn't figure out his opponent's Cursed Technique, he would likely be the one to lose.
The President's attacks grew stronger each time. They had gone from being barely noticeable at the start to nearly making him cough up blood just now, and only two minutes had passed.
'Our current battle is meaningless. Why don't you back down, admit defeat, and we can end this.'
A wall of golden light manifested around the President. This was the proof of his invincibility—Love Train.
He had no intention of hiding anything, from the name and appearance to the manifestation of his ability.
But to the two present, it was completely unfamiliar.
After all, no one would mix in content from a manga when seriously explaining a Cursed Technique.
Naruto had learned about a great number of Cursed Techniques at Jujutsu High, but he definitely hadn't read the manga. Sukuna was a genuine ancient relic.
Ever since he entered Itadori's body, Itadori had been studying at Jujutsu High every day, naturally leaving no time to read the manga he once enjoyed.
Of course, even if they had recognized Love Train, the President wouldn't have been afraid. In the real world, there were no Stand users, nor was there a Golden Spin. After developing this ability, he was already invincible.
'Me, admit defeat? That's not a very funny joke.'
Sukuna's expression finally darkened. He had acknowledged his opponent's ability and treated him as a rival, but it was clear the President did not see him in the same light.
Such contempt was the greatest insult to Sukuna, and one he could never tolerate!
'Let's just see how many attacks that so-called Cursed Technique of yours can withstand.'
It didn't matter if he couldn't see through it. He would just shatter it with pure power.
Sukuna had already collected sixteen fingers. Though he wasn't at full power, he still surpassed the vast majority of sorcerers.
He was confident he could crush it with sheer force. After all, in his entire life, he had never met a worthy opponent—
'You, who could only awaken a Cursed Technique by borrowing someone else's points, I'll show you what a real Cursed Technique is.'
'Domain Expansion—'
'Malevolent Shrine!'
As long as the attack was powerful enough, any Cursed Technique could be broken. Moreover, Sukuna's own 'sure-hit' property had been extremely enhanced.
He was the only one capable of using an open-barrier domain. By nullifying the barrier, opponents could enter and exit the domain at will, and in exchange, he gained an unparalleled 'sure-hit' effect.
His Cursed Energy output surged to its maximum. In an instant, countless slashes descended, landing squarely upon the President.
