After escaping Uro Sakurako's pursuit, Eiji quickly returned to the Isayama Family residence.
In the darkness of night, it made no difference to ordinary people that they couldn't see the Qiongqi.
However, several of the Isayama Family's night guards, who could see Summoned Spirits, were startled.
They initially thought a Cursed Spirit or a Curse User was attacking.
"Are you alright, Eiji?"
Isayama Naraku looked at the disheveled Eiji with concern.
They had been together for a while now, and Isayama Naraku had seen Eiji fight several times.
Therefore, Isayama Naraku was well aware of Eiji's strength.
Furthermore, Eiji was surprisingly calm for a young man.
If the situation wasn't truly dire, Isayama Naraku knew Eiji wouldn't return to the Isayama Family residence in such a manner, practically crashing in on a powerful Summoned Spirit.
"Something big has indeed happened. We need to prepare for a war in Sendai."
Eiji said, his face etched with fatigue.
His Cursed Energy had been replenished by the Holy Grail, and his physical injuries had been healed by the Reverse Cursed Technique.
Even the strange curses and other damage caused by Incarnation had been dealt with.
He used the Reverse Cursed Technique to resolve what he could.
For what he couldn't resolve, he simply excised the cursed part entirely.
Then, he regenerated it with the Reverse Cursed Technique.
However, the mental exhaustion from the high-intensity combat was something the Reverse Cursed Technique couldn't heal.
After I get back this time, I need to learn from Shoko how to quickly remove toxins using the Reverse Cursed Technique. My current speed for detoxifying is still too slow.
Previously, when ambushed by an assassin who could infiltrate shadows, Eiji's Reverse Cursed Technique's detoxification speed was not high.
In the end, Eiji chose to directly bite off the poisoned area with his shadow and regenerate the flesh.
As expected, only combat at the same level could reveal weaknesses and lead to faster progress.
During this battle, Eiji's speed in merging with Chimera Beasts further increased, and he also discovered his slow speed in healing from poisons.
"War?"
Isayama Naraku's eyes widened slightly, then he quickly regained his composure and began to ponder Eiji's words.
After all, it had been a long time since the word "war" had been uttered.
Therefore, he believed the war Eiji mentioned was not a war in the usual sense.
"That's right. This time, we're estimated to face one million Cursed Spirits and dozens of powerful individuals resurrected through Incarnation from ancient times."
Eiji's eyes met Isayama Naraku's without any evasion.
Eyes are the windows to the soul.
Isayama Naraku could feel Eiji's seriousness.
Moreover, Isayama Naraku knew Eiji wasn't the type to make such jokes.
"One million? How is that possible?"
You'll have to ask Kenjaku. Who knows where he got ten million Cursed Spirits from, and then brought one million of them here to Sendai.
Eiji thought to himself, inwardly grumbling.
"Tamamo-no-Mae has undergone Incarnation and been resurrected. She is currently hiding in a large, concealed Barrier in the northern part of Sendai."
Eiji's shadow gathered to form a topographical map of northern Sendai, and then a specific location was marked by the shadow.
"That Barrier contains 100 rooms sealed by smaller Barriers. Each room holds ten thousand Cursed Spirits, and there are also a large number of Cursed Objects within the Barrier."
After speaking, Eiji looked up at Isayama Naraku.
"Do you remember the recent missing person cases? Those were the bodies selected for Incarnation and resurrection."
Isayama Naraku's gaze grew serious, his mind racing.
Although he was reluctant to believe something as bizarre as one million Cursed Spirits, Eiji's words were logically consistent, and the possibility of them being true was high.
"Furthermore, there are six confirmed Special Grade individuals on the opposing side. I will explain the situation, and you need to report it to Jujutsu Headquarters as quickly as possible. We need reinforcements..."
"Six Special Grades!"
Eiji began to explain the situations of Tamamo-no-Mae, Ishiryu, Uro Sakurako, Dhuruv, Great Tengu, and Kuromushi to Isayama Naraku.
To prevent any omissions when Isayama Naraku reported to the higher-ups later, Eiji even started a voice recording on his phone.
Among these six powerful individuals, apart from Tamamo-no-Mae, the strength of the other five was mostly understood, except for their Domain Expansions.
Kuromushi was included because Eiji remembered that it could reproduce by laying eggs.
Originally, Kuromushi in the Sendai Barrier had its head blown off for being unable to withstand Yuta Okkotsu's deep kiss.
However, because it had laid eggs in advance during its hibernation, a second Kuromushi with Special Grade strength was quickly born.
It perfectly fits the characteristic of an unkillable cockroach.
Isayama Naraku's common sense told him that a Cursed Spirit of such immense scale shouldn't appear all at once, but Eiji's description was too detailed.
Eiji even used shadows to condense into the likenesses of those powerful figures, letting him take pictures.
After it was over, Eiji returned to his room to rest, while Isayama Naraku looked at the contents filling several pages in front of him with trembling hands.
After a moment of hesitation, Isayama Naraku found his friend Tsuchiya Garaku to discuss it.
"Report it."
Tsuchiya Garaku said heavily after reading the intelligence provided by Eiji.
"You also believe this is true?"
Unlike Isayama Naraku, who was leaning towards becoming a politician and had many concerns.
Tsuchiya Garaku was a more pure powerhouse.
Not prone to suspicion, Tsuchiya Garaku's intuition was often very accurate.
"At least the part about Tamamo-no-Mae is true. I've seen many of the descriptions here, both from the battle three years ago and from a few days ago. It can now be confirmed that the young Curse User is Tamamo-no-Mae's Incarnation."
Tsuchiya Garaku handed the documents back.
"And it's Tamamo-no-Mae, someone who required the combined strength of an era to defeat."
Tsuchiya Garaku's words made Isayama Naraku start imagining things.
"Are you saying these people are under Tamamo-no-Mae, or that some of them are Tamamo-no-Mae's followers who have been secretly preparing to help Tamamo-no-Mae revive?"
After all, Uro Sakurako predated Tamamo-no-Mae by more than two hundred years.
So it was impossible to be under Tamamo-no-Mae's command, but if Tamamo-no-Mae's followers spent over 800 years slowly preparing... it wasn't impossible.
Tamamo-no-Mae, Kenjaku: Slander! You're slandering me!
Isayama Naraku recalled legends recorded in some history books about Tamamo-no-Mae facing an army of over 900,000.
In the past, he had always thought these were exaggerations from myths.
After all, how many people were there in the Island Nation back then?
Where could they have gathered an army of over 900,000?
But if a million Cursed Spirits were real, then perhaps over 900,000 troops were also real?
After all, both seemed a bit unrealistic.
Isayama Naraku began to unconsciously speculate.
"Is Tamamo-no-Mae really that terrifying? Despite being a loser in political struggles, they could still gather such power."
Isayama Naraku couldn't help but sigh.
"Regardless, let's report it as soon as possible according to young friend Eiji's request. As for the Jujutsu Headquarters' attitude, that's not something we can control."
Tsuchiya Garaku said to his friend.
"At least the Zenin Family, one of the Three Great Families, will support him."
Isayama Naraku nodded.
When such a report was delivered to Jujutsu Headquarters, everyone was taken aback.
