After calming down, Jugo began to explore his newfound powers, in addition to receiving more powerful rituals, he gained much more.
The first one was the source of the curses, that alone was worth all of Jugo's effort.
It's basically Hidan's advanced ability.
It can establish a connection with the target, it doesn't necessarily have to be blood, a strand of hair, a piece of nail, or even a precious item that the target carries with them constantly, all of these can form a connection.
Then he transforms himself into a paper figure or Puppet of the target, any damage he suffers is equally suffered by the target. This already summarizes Hidan's power, but there's more, the curses aren't limited to simply hurting and causing damage.
All sorts of curses can be applied to the target indirectly in this way, so it's no lie to say that this is an advanced version of Hidan's ability, for a weaker subject, Jugo can devour their soul directly through this connection.
Speaking of devouring souls, Jugo no longer needs to worry about that, just as he doesn't need to worry about the full moon. If before everything he did influenced him, now he has become a mythical creature, he no longer needs to worry. Whether he is indulgent or not is up to him.
Returning to the powers, the second power is Poltergeist, if the Puppeteer of the Fool's Path can control living beings, the Puppets can control objects.
Everything around them can be controlled by them, as if by telekinesis, as long as it is not alive, everything can become a weapon. They can even control enemy weapons, except if they are mystical items or sealed artifacts. In that case, they must not be possessed or controlled by anyone, either physically or through Spirituality.
In this world, except for more powerful weapons, most weapons are still simple kunai, swords and shuriken, so this is actually a very useful power.
Imagine someone tries to stab you with a kunai, but ends up cutting their own throat instead.
Jugo no longer needs to move to fight, most ninjas carry weapons, but he can simply stand there, still, while controlling their weapons to kill their masters or even using items from the surrounding environment as weapons.
The third power is Performance. A puppet is capable of playing roles such as prisoner, lunatic, werewolf, zombie and specter, elevating these powers and characteristics of Beyonder to a weak Sequence 4 with divinity.
They might, for example, possess a sealed artifact containing the power of the Wraith.
Finally, they can objectify themselves or objectify others, in short, they can transform into Puppets to control their madness, but in this case they become completely sealed in this form. It's a powerful seal to avoid madness or to hide from enemies who can track them through spirituality.
In this state, they can only protect themselves through pre-prepared curses or other prepared means, such as zombies or puppets.
Turning another target into a puppet is actually a process that requires consent, at least in sequence 4 of Puppet. This ability is mostly used as a way to save the target from madness, but since you'll hardly find similar cases in this world, except for some Jinchuuriki who lost control, Jugo can see that turning a target into a puppet can be useful for saving someone's life.
If the target is on the verge of death with a fatal wound, he can turn them into a puppet to ensure their life until he finds a way to save them or he can use this to carry a target more easily.
In short... there must be other uses, he just needs to find them.
Jugo sighed at the power of his advancement, his physique and chakra had grown enormously, several times what they were before. Perhaps he was approaching Kurama's chakra.
But what surprised him most was his intuition, he already possessed a sharp intuition from possessing the Tenebrous World, but now it was much stronger, although it didn't compare to the path to the abyss.
It was at this point that he felt that some of his previous actions were actually being restrained by his own intuition!
He hadn't noticed before because they seemed like his own random choices, but after progressing, he could see that the higher his streak went, the more his actions seemed guided by an invisible hand.
Just like his constant desire to move forward as if someone were behind him, he could still feel that feeling deep down, but now it was much lighter, as if what had been a difficult problem before had become much simpler.
Even Kin was targeted by this.
He always found reasons to postpone it, in his previous life, Jugo was never one to hold back, but this time, he hadn't had any sexual relations since he arrived in this world!
This didn't make sense, he was playing around, but never attacking. He thought it was the lack of desire stemming from the potion's effects, but in reality, it was his intuition all along.
If Jugo hadn't killed before transmigrating and that counted as an act of his current self, he might even have avoided killing until now.
All of this was the work of his intuition, reducing his indulgence as much as possible, he didn't drink, he didn't smoke, he didn't gamble... everything that led to indulgence became superfluous for Jugo, but it was only now that he understood the reason.
His time as a low and mid-level player was spent constantly training, even the large number of shadow clones that trained his Bind to the maximum extent possible.
It's no coincidence that Jugo progressed to Sequel 4 so easily, it was a series of factors he had never noticed before. Perhaps someone following the same path wouldn't have such keen intuition, but he had the Tenebrous World connected to him, which amplified his intuition!
Now that didn't matter anymore, so Jugo felt very free in terms of indulgence, he could do whatever he wanted without consequences, his mythical creature form was already fixed.
Freedom...
With that thought in mind, Jugo smiled, looking at Madara's badly damaged body, which still emitted a constant aura of corruption. He felt it could be useful in the future, so he performed a simple ritual to return the body to the Tenebrous World and seal it once more.
Within that dark space, Jugo felt his control increase even further, the amount of power he could draw from that place was much greater. Unfortunately, he still couldn't use this power directly, having to rely on rituals.
Shrugging, he left the Tenebrous World and advanced towards Otogakure. The teleportation, which could only advance a few hundred meters, now extended for kilometers!
Jugo arrived in Otogakure in a few seconds.
He found Kin training with a serious face at her house, she had a large Japanese-style mansion in the center of the village. She was still wearing her tight-fitting clothes, the constant exercise had done wonders for her.
As soon as Jugo appeared, Kin was surprised and happy, wondering why Jugo was there, the man was always busy and it was even a clone who came to celebrate her birthday with her.
But the next moment, Jugo picked her up in his arms and before her surprised eyes, she let out a soft and frightened cry as she clung to him.
-Jugo-sama... is that it?- Kin asked, shocked and blushing, her cheeks trembling with a mixture of expectation and confusion.
Jugo didn't answer, he took her to her room and threw her on the bed. Kin was very scared, but she didn't move to stop him while Jugo took off her clothes. She had waited so long for this that she was even more anxious than he was.
Soon rhythmic sounds began to fill the room, Kin's moans and Jugo's heavy breathing could be heard for much of that day. Fortunately, the house was large and Kin's maids were dismissed by a clone of Jugo.
On that day, Jugo became a man and Kin a woman.
