Late at night, Tamamo-no-Mae brought three Young Men, two male and one female, into the barrier.
"What... what exactly are you going to do?"
The man looked at the elegantly dressed Tamamo-no-Mae in horror.
He had initially thought it was a stroke of luck, encountering a goddess with unfulfilled desires.
He never expected her to be a man-eating fox.
In the literal sense.
"What is this one going to do? You'll find out very soon."
Tamamo-no-Mae, in a good mood, casually explained.
Then, Tamamo-no-Mae took out three Cursed Objects, pinched their mouths open, and forced them inside.
The three writhed in pain on the ground.
Before long, all three had completely transformed.
"Has the time finally come? You've certainly made me wait."
A muscular Young Man with a pompadour haircut, resembling a delinquent, was the first to speak.
"Who are you?"
This time, it was a gaunt old man who spoke.
"This one is Tamamo-no-Mae. It was this one who resurrected you. How about it? Will you join this one's Ranks?"
Tamamo-no-Mae revealed a dangerous smile, and vast Cursed Energy emanated from her body.
Upon feeling Tamamo-no-Mae's immense Cursed Energy, the expressions of the three became much more serious.
"Tamamo-no-Mae?"
Ryu Ishigori, with his pompadour hairstyle, the top resembling a cannon muzzle, stroked his chin.
"The Nine-tailed Fox who wreaked havoc in the court 400 years ago, attempting to usurp the country?"
Ryu Ishigori was a strong individual from 400 years ago, while Tamamo-no-Mae was a strong individual from over 800 years ago; their eras were separated by more than 400 years.
Ryu Ishigori's words caused Tamamo-no-Mae to frown in displeasure.
"Your words should be enough to satisfy me, right?"
Ryu Ishigori displayed intense Battle Intent.
"Oh? To be'satisfied' is your wish?"
Tamamo-no-Mae's frown relaxed.
Looking at Ryu Ishigori, who was radiating fierce Battle Intent, Tamamo-no-Mae naturally understood what Ryu Ishigori meant by "satisfied."
"There are quite a few strong individuals in this era who can satisfy you. Of course, if you wish to have an appetizer before the main course, this one wouldn't mind."
Their gazes locked, intense and focused.
Ryu Ishigori truly wanted to fight.
Tamamo-no-Mae, on the other hand, wanted to display her power and establish her authority.
Ryu Ishigori and Kashimo Hajime were strong individuals of the same era, and their wishes were also similar.
Both wanted to challenge strong individuals.
The difference in their wishes was that Ryu Ishigori wanted to fight with all his might, to have a satisfying battle.
Kashimo Hajime wanted to challenge the strongest of the strong, Ryomen Sukuna.
Unfortunately, by the time Ryu Ishigori had matured, Kashimo Hajime had already grown old, and thus they perfectly missed each other.
"Enough, it doesn't matter what you want!"
Uro Takako, the only female among the three, with long pink hair, spoke up.
"I only want to ask one question: Is the Fujiwara Clan still around?"
Uro Takako stared at Tamamo-no-Mae, dressed in luxurious clothes, her eyes filled with hatred.
"Oh, you also want to seek revenge on the Fujiwara Clan?"
Tamamo-no-Mae was initially surprised, but after seeing the hatred in Uro Takako's eyes, she suddenly felt like she had found a comrade.
"Also?"
A hint of confusion flashed in Uro Takako's eyes.
"That's right, seeking revenge on the Fujiwara Clan is also one of my goals..."
Tamamo-no-Mae is a very famous Great Demon in Japanese folklore. The Special Grade Cursed Spirit she became after her death is also an entity registered by the Jujutsu Headquarters.
However, many of the legends about Tamamo-no-Mae enchanting emperors and harming the common people are actually products of artistic embellishment.
The reason Tamamo-no-Mae carried an ill reputation for eight hundred years is simple.
She failed in a palace intrigue and became a loser in a power struggle.
Tamamo-no-Mae was originally an abandoned infant, adopted by the samurai who found her.
As she grew up, Tamamo-no-Mae, due to her unparalleled beauty and renowned talent, was sent to the palace.
Thus, Tamamo-no-Mae, with her exceptional talent, gained the favor of the then-ruler, Emperor Toba.
This caused dissatisfaction among the Empress and the Fujiwara Clan behind her.
Later, when Emperor Toba fell gravely ill and was bedridden.
Empress Fujiwara seized the opportunity to attack Tamamo-no-Mae, falsely accusing her of cursing Emperor Toba and attempting to usurp the country.
Having lost her biggest supporter, Tamamo-no-Mae gradually succumbed to the Empress's and the court's offensive.
Finally, she was exiled to the wilderness.
Even this was not enough for Empress Fujiwara, who ordered the court to gather all forces, intending to completely exterminate Tamamo-no-Mae before Emperor Toba recovered, to eliminate future troubles.
But how could these ordinary people be a match for a powerful Jujutsu Sorcerer?
Tamamo-no-Mae, believing that even Emperor Toba had betrayed her, swore to seek revenge on Emperor Toba and the Fujiwara Clan.
The Fujiwara Clan immediately mobilized the Jujutsu Sorcerers within their Family and also gathered many Jujutsu Sorcerers from across the country to Nasuno, where Tamamo-no-Mae was located.
After suffering heavy casualties, Tamamo-no-Mae was subjugated in Nasuno.
To be subjugated with such a high-profile lineup is sufficient proof of Tamamo-no-Mae's strength.
And in the face of such subjugation, only one person in history successfully fought back and killed their pursuers.
That was the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna.
All others met their end with resentment.
"Is that so? Then let us seek revenge on the Fujiwara Clan together."
Uro Takako's face was filled with excitement.
It was the excitement of meeting someone with shared goals, and the thrill of an impending achievement.
Uro Takako had also suffered persecution from the Fujiwara Clan.
When Uro Takako was alive, the Fujiwara Clan wielded immense power in the court, possessing numerous subordinate forces.
She served as the captain of one of their assassination units, the Nichigetsusei Advance Squad.
Originally, Uro Takako, being part of an assassination unit, was not supposed to have a name, but either due to her recognized achievements...
Or because the Fujiwara Clan needed a scapegoat.
Uro Takako was given a name.
However, Uro Takako's joy was short-lived as she was soon accused of murdering a member of the Fujiwara Clan.
Because the time between being given a name and being accused of the crime was very short, Uro Takako believed that the person who gave her the name did not acknowledge her achievements, but simply made it easier for her to be a scapegoat.
From then on, Uro Takako harbored a deep hatred for the Fujiwara Clan.
Because of this, she made a binding vow with Kenjaku, and after her death, Kenjaku turned her into a Cursed Object, awaiting resurrection.
At this moment, two women who both harbored a deep hatred for the Fujiwara Clan formed a united front.
Tamamo-no-Mae turned her gaze to the last person, a gaunt old man.
The old man's name was Dhruv, a strong individual who once single-handedly suppressed the archipelago during a period of great turmoil in Japan.
Dhruv's request was surprisingly simple: his own territory.
Tamamo-no-Mae had no objections to this.
If revenge succeeds, you can go and seize a territory for yourself. If revenge fails, and I'm gone, do I still need to fulfill the binding vow?
"Hey, Tamamo-no-Mae!"
Seeing that Tamamo-no-Mae had finally finished talking with the others, Ryu Ishigori no longer waited.
"You've been dawdling for ages, now it's time to satisfy me, isn't it?"
A hint of anger appeared in Ryu Ishigori's eyes.
He had been ready to fight, but was suddenly interrupted by the woman and the old man next to him, making him wait for so long.
Ryu Ishigori, who had little patience to begin with, was already eager.
"Let's move to another place. This isn't suitable for a battle."
