In JJK With Naruto Powers-Chapter 139: Uncovering Yuta’s Plan

Yuji's tactic of exchanging injuries for injuries and his super-strong power caused Yuta to suffer some minor losses.

Yuta realized that this junior fellow student is not a lamb to be slaughtered.

When Yuji saw that Yuta was stunned, he suddenly rushed over and punched him with a powerful strike filled with cursed energy.

However, the next second—

A pale giant hand that seemed to come from hell tightly grasped his head.

Yuji's vision went dark, and he could not move. A devilish voice from hell rang in his ears.

"What do you want to do with my Yuta?"

Yuta stretched his still-numb arms and smiled calmly.

"Rika, why did you decide to come out today?"

Yuji widened his eyes and turned to look at the devil behind him, who had locked him in place.

Rika opened her bloody mouth, revealing fangs sharp enough to pierce a human body, and roared at Yuji.

The swollen cursed energy surged like a flood.

Yuji's breathing stagnated, and he swallowed.

This... is this a shikigami?

He had just heard Yuta call it... Rika?

What a terrifying entity. When did it appear?

Yuta doesn't seem to have used any hand seals at all.

Didn't Megumi say that summoning a shikigami requires hand seals?

"I'm sorry, Yuji. This may hurt, but it will be quick."

As he spoke, Yuta held his katana horizontally, preparing to stab Yuji in the abdomen.

But the next second...

Space twisted, and a vortex appeared.

Two slender fingers firmly grasped the katana, stopping it from moving even an inch forward.

Kazuma smiled and said, "Hello, God of Pure Love."

"Kazuma!"

The moment he saw Kazuma, Yuji breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuta decisively abandoned the half-broken blade in his hand, retreating to put distance between himself and Kazuma.

He carefully observed the man who had suddenly appeared.

He had heard the name Kazuma several times before.

Kazuma was the one who stood out the most on the list of executions.

Yuta asked, "You call me the God of Pure Love?"

Kazuma pointed at Yuta, then glanced at the Queen of Curses behind him and smiled meaningfully.

Kazuma said, "Rika-san, I assume it's okay for me to say that?"

Hearing this, Rika made a series of affirmative noises.

"Yeah, Yuta and I have pure love for each other!"

Although she disliked this stranger who had interrupted Yuta's actions, she decided to let it slide since he was flattering her.

Yuji, still held in place, looked dumbfounded.

His jaw practically hit the ground as he stared at Yuta and Rika with wide eyes.

Uh... this...

Isn't this senpai's taste a little too... extreme?

A sorcerer actually got romantically involved with his own shikigami?

Apparently, Yuji had no idea about Yuta's past.

Yuta ignored Yuji's bewildered expression, instead focusing on Kazuma with a serious look.

"If I remember correctly, the higher-ups sentenced you to life imprisonment, right?"

"And yet, not only did you escape the Tombs of Star Corridor, but you're here now..."

Yuta trailed off, but the conclusion was obvious.

Hearing this, Yuji suddenly turned his head to Kazuma, his face full of shock and anger.

"The higher-ups are punishing you too?!"

"If you hadn't been at the Shibuya Incident, who knows how many more people would have died! Are they seriously that unreasonable?!"

Kazuma spread his hands and said with a carefree smile, "Unfortunately, I'm now listed as a defector by the higher-ups—just like you."

"My situation is even worse than that of a curse user who has committed countless crimes."

At this moment, Yuji's opinion of the higher-ups completely hit rock bottom.

Yuta frowned, deep in thought, before deciding to go forward with his plan.

Yuta said, "Kazuma, step aside. I can pretend I didn't see you."

"But as the executioner, Yuji must die—at least once—so I can complete my mission."

"...Die once?"

Yuji was confused. What does that even mean?

How can he die twice?

Kazuma simply shook his head.

Others might not know, but he, having already foreseen the plot, understood Yuta's intentions.

Yuta planned to put Yuji into a state of suspended animation.

Then, at the precise moment Yuji's heart stopped beating, he would use Reverse Cursed Technique to revive him—successfully deceiving the higher-ups.

However, Kazuma had already checked before coming. There were no spies around at the moment.

Yuta's plan was noble, but there was no need to put Yuji through unnecessary suffering.

The kid had already been through enough.

Kazuma looked up at Yuta and said, "There' no need to fake Yuji's death."

"Just tell the higher-ups that Kazuma rescued him. If they're dissatisfied, tell them to come find me. I'll be waiting for them in Shibuya."

Hearing this, Yuta's eyes widened in shock.

He stared at Kazuma and asked in a deep voice, "How do you know?!"

Months ago, Gojo had a premonition that the world would soon undergo an earth-shattering change.

He had shared his concerns with Yuta, instructing him that if something unexpected happened to him, Yuta was to return to Jujutsu High immediately.

At the time, Yuta had believed Gojo was invincible, that nothing could ever happen to him.

But now, with Gojo sealed away and the situation spiraling out of control, it was clear that his premonition had been right all along.

Now, with Yuji sentenced to death once again, Yuta had made his decision the moment he had received the order.

He would fake Yuji's death and deceive the higher-ups. But he had never shared this plan with anyone.

So how did Kazuma know?

Facing Yuta's sharp gaze, Kazuma simply smirked.

"Don't overthink it."

He said, "I can't read minds."
