In JJK With Naruto Powers-Chapter 65: Torturing Mahito’s Clone

Kazuma said, "If I'm not mistaken, you are not an ordinary clone, but a soul attached to the original body, which is why your words and actions feel so real."

Mahito's breathing hitched as he struggled to suppress the shock in his heart.

It was one thing for Kazuma to instantly recognize that he was a clone, but how could he even detect the faint trace of a soul hidden deep within him?

There was no way that could be seen through with those eyes.

How did he know so much about him?

Could the information have come from the Jujutsu High?

No!

Even with the academy's intelligence capabilities, the best they could deduce was that he was a cursed spirit from the same group as Jogo.

There's no way they could have analyzed it to such a subtle level.

In reality, Kazuma's Mangekyo Sharingan couldn't directly perceive the soul within this clone.

But, he had read the JJK manga.

During the Shibuya Incident, one of Mahito's clones was restrained by Nobara.

And Nobara's [Resonance] technique directly attacked the soul, harming the real body and greatly assisting Yuji.

Based on that, Kazuma deduced that Mahito's clone must be connected to his original soul.

"You... so what if you know?" Mahito forced himself to remain calm.

Kazuma smirked and said, "Haha, what will happen?"

"Don't you already know the answer?"

He leaned close to Mahito's ear and whispered, "I'll let you in on a secret—the genjutsu your friend was hit by last time? That was just a low-end version."

Low-end version?

Mahito's eyes widened in horror.

Oh no!

Before he could react, Kazuma forcibly pried open his tightly shut eyelids, forcing him to look into his Mangekyo Sharingan.

"Tsukuyomi!"

Mahito's consciousness blurred as his vision went black.

When he opened his eyes again, he was bound to a cross.

The sky was blood-red, and countless crows circled overhead.

Then, an army of Kazuma's clones, each holding sharp swords, mercilessly stabbed him.

The agonized screams never stopped.

Three seconds passed in reality, but in the world of genjutsu, Mahito suffered for three whole days and nights.

During that time, Kazuma also used a genjutsu to erase any knowledge of his abilities from Mahito's mind. However, this was just a precaution.

Because after three days of torture, Mahito's clone's soul had completely collapsed.

In simple terms, he had been reduced to a fool.

Not only could he no longer provide useful information to his original body, but he would also transmit all the "happiness" he had suffered during those three days.

This is the proper way to handle Mahito.

Whoosh!

A vortex appeared, and Kazuma returned to the corridor.

Junpei hurried over, glancing at the vortex behind Kazuma, anfd hesitating to speak.

Kazuma smirked and said, "Don't bother looking. He died very happily."

"Unfortunately, it was just a clone."

Junpei nodded in gratitude but couldn't hide the worry in his eyes.

So... only the clone died?

...

At the same time

In a dimly lit alley

Mahito sat with a notebook in hand, a sinister smile playing on his lips as he placed a bold checkmark next to Junpei's name.

"By now, Junpei's mother should have been killed by a cursed spirit, right?"

His clone should be arriving there soon. Mahito stretched lazily, enjoying the thought.

He wondered what kind of face Junpei would make upon seeing his mother's tragic death.

Despair?

Fear?

Rage?

Or will he transform into a bloodthirsty, crazed cursed spirit?

No matter the outcome, he was looking forward to it.

Just as Mahito was savoring his imagination, an excruciating pain shot through his head.

"AHHHHHH!!!"

His ten fingers clawed into his scalp as his bloodshot eyes streamed with tears and saliva.

This pain—this wasn't normal.

It was coming from the depths of his soul.

Mahito thrashed on the ground like a madman.

If Kazuma were here to witness this, he would probably sigh and say "Isn't this just like when Sun Wukong was under the curse of his headband tightening?"

At that moment, Mahito felt as if his very soul was being repeatedly minced in a meat grinder.

But what confused him the most was...

Where was the footage of Junpei's mother's death?

The memories sent back were completely fragmented. There was no useful information at all.

Could this be Kazuma's doing?

But before he could think further, the excruciating pain consumed him.

Foam gathered at his mouth, and Mahito collapsed and fainted.

It wasn't that his willpower was weak.

Rather, he had just experienced three days of Tsukuyomi's "happiness".

...

Inside a warmly lit home

Three people sat together at the dining table, talking and laughing.

"Wow, Auntie's cooking is amazing." Kazuma praised sincerely.

So, this is what a home-cooked meal tastes like. Having grown up in an orphanage, he had never experienced such warmth.

Maybe it was the comforting atmosphere that made everything taste even better.

Nagi happily said, "It gives me such a sense of accomplishment to be praised by our benefactor."

Nagi rested her chin in her hand while smiling. Her cheeks were slightly flushed from the alcohol.

She was happy to see her son, who had always been introverted, bonding with such a dependable older brother figure.

Junpei had finally found a friend and not just any friend—one far beyond ordinary people.

As his mother, she felt proud.

Kazuma had previously told her everything—the hidden side of this world, Junpei's situation, the dangers that lurked.

Kazuma had expected her to struggle with accepting the truth. But now, he realized that he had underestimated her resilience.

It suited her carefree nature from the original story.

But the faint sadness lingering between her brows did not escape Kazuma's sharp eyes.

She was still worried about Mahito returning.

Setting down his chopsticks, Kazuma reassured them, "Don't worry. The enemy's plan has been exposed. They likely won't make another move anytime soon."

"Besides, I've placed a mark on your house. If there's any danger, I can arrive instantly."

"If you're still worried, you could always move to Tokyo Jujutsu High."
