Nanami stands in front of the empty temple, feeling so much curse energy lingering in there. How he and other sorcerers missed this spot is troubling, as Sukuna's aura is practically leaking from the temple's doors. With a deep breath, he enters the temple.


Just entering he feels a pressure sit on his shoulders, like tons of cement blocks building on top of him. He didn't walk that far into the temple! Nanami's breathing grows heavier as he sits on the ground and slouches forward to try to get this pressure off of him. He reaches into his suit to pull out the book and uses the flashlight from his phone to read the pages.


There are quick scribbling on the pages and Nanami tries to make out what they're saying. Until he finds your name. "Date of birth," Nanami mutters as he reads. "Her role in all this, powers gain at age..." It's your whole path mapped out in this book. Nanami quickly flips through the pages to find out what happens at the end of your path. Only to find the page blank. Angry, he flips back through some pages and finds the time when you were sealed in the orb along with Sukuna.


He reads how your journey with Sukuna in the orb started, And everything you went through before Yuji put the soul tracker on you. "Lava ogres? Burning home? They knew she would go through all of this?" Nanami whispers furiously. Not to mention the fact that Sukuna did make attempts on your life, so not everything was peachy between you and him.


Nanami skims through the pages and everything he and Satoru theorized is unfortunately correct. Some time two months from now, or even before that, a war is supposed to break out. A war between your clan and Jujutsu Tech. It looks like the higher-ups get tired of Gojo buying time and use all of their resources to hunt down your clan's hiding spot.


Before Nanami can contact Gojo there is a warning written in red ink.


Warning: Any disturbance before this event will cause more loss of lives. Trust me Nanami, you may tell Gojo but do not disturb this event. If you do so, I cannot help you in preventing as many casualties as possible.


Nanami grinds his teeth together and he has a choice to either believe Isamu or go against this. As Nanami skims through this 'event,' he notices the casualties that will happen on this day are hidden. Nanami flips the page and halts when he feels breathing down his neck. He grips his weapon and swings it behind him, slicing the curse in half. Dammit, Sukuna's curse energy is so powerful it's overwhelming the other curse's presence! Nanami dodged an attack as a curse with six big eyes tried eating him. 'The curses probably came here to harvest Sukuna's power somehow,' Nanami thought as he ran around the temple, dodging a lot of attacks. Even though Sukuna regained all 20 fingers, there are still beings out there desperate enough to try to harvest his power as much as they can by any means necessary.
