4 Part 4.
The curse faced the sinister and sadistic grin when it noticed that the "Jujutsu Sorcerer" in front of it remained unmoved by its action.
"It's going to be fun breaking you..."
Murmuring under his breath with a sadistic smile intensifying on his face, he began to move among the humans in a vegetative state around him.
Expanding his already sadistic expression, he moved as if dancing among the humans, in a sick and twisted mental melody playing in his mind.
Minato just stood in the middle, watching his target move and dance among them, making contact with each one and causing their human forms to twist and change shape through his technique.
The curse moved swiftly among the humans, dramatically increasing its speed while its psychotically malicious laughter spread through the station.
Minato could feel it.
That curse, seemingly no different from others in ruthlessly killing humans, circled around his position.
At any moment, it would leap towards him and attack...
3...2...
'I need to think quickly... I need to create a plan, the first step is to figure out what it's able-'
Before he could continue thinking, his enhanced senses powered by the Cursed Sage Mode, which kept track of the curse's considerable presence and cursed energy, warned him of the imminent attack from the psychotic enemy coming towards him from behind.
Moving his head effortlessly to the side, he observed as a fleeting, almost air-cutting, sword-like construct made of flesh narrowly missed the spot where his head had been just seconds ago.
Glancing sideways, he met the deranged expression of the attacking enemy.
The curse slashed again to the left, where Minato had moved his head to evade its impulsive offensive attempt.
Minato, upon seeing this, reacted faster than the curse and quickly moved away from the attacking entity.
He narrowed his eyes upon realizing that what had attacked him was originally supposed to be his enemy's arm.
"What's the matter, WIZARD?!"
The curse laughed hysterically in a disturbed manner and, with the still unmutated arm, touched a human beside it, transforming her into whatever its will desired her to be.
A dark green flesh ball with an eye and a mouth formed between its fingers.
The curse then closed its hand, squeezing it into a fist, and revealed that it had other balls of the same kind.
"TELL ME, SORCERER... WANT TO SEE A TRICK?!"
The mocking and maliciously malevolent voice of the curse caused a lone eyebrow of Minato to twitch in annoyance.
After witnessing this, he had an idea of how to counter this somewhat irritating technique.
"What's your name..."
Minato asked, interested in gathering information about his enemy.
From what he could gather about this monster's technique, at least there was already a weakness.
In the exchange of a single attack between the two, Minato observed that his enemy wasn't very physically powerful, or at least not in the category of physical speed without being enhanced by cursed energy.
He planned to use that to his advantage.
On the other hand, it seemed that his technique involved modifying humans and using them as objects. Additionally, it appeared to gain an extra edge by being able to modify its own body, making it formidable.
'I'll start my counter attack now...'
The curse didn't respond to his question but instead smirked more mockingly.
Taking a step back, it stopped channeling cursed energy into its Kunais and prepared to spin its body and run. However, it didn't anticipate that the curse would launch another sneak attack to prevent its strategic escape. Revealing more balls similar to the previous one, it shot them rapidly and almost directly towards its target.
Five balls landed on either side of Minato at angles that would be difficult to dodge, posing a potentially fatal threat.
***BANG BANG BANG BANG***
They exploded, transforming into structures with sharp spikes that nearly impaled Minato, killing some humans in the process. As a result, four out of the five balls detonated.
The last one exploded behind Minato, turning into a giant wall of flesh with spikes ready to impale him in a second attempt.
He quickly moved away, dodging each incoming attack and even the giant wall that crushed every human in its path.
Realizing that the only escape route left was the train tracks, as the previous closest exit had been sealed by the curse's spell, Minato saw a train carriage nearby, as they were close to the tracks.
Mahito, the curse, grinned at Minato and spoke.
"You were interested in knowing my name, right?"
Maintaining his psychotic expression, Minato nodded, awaiting his opponent's response.
"Mahito..."
The monster in human form called himself Mahito, with a slightly dark tone but a madness replaced by a sickening childish tone.
"TELL ME SOMETHING, SORCERER!!! WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF??!?!?!"
Mahito grabbed a small girl and lifted her, placing her close to him as his expression returned to its dark psychopathy.
He breathed near the ear of the girl, who seemed to be about 10 years old, slowly distorting her into another of his body modifications, while the helpless child remained unaware that her life was slowly being taken away before her eyes, unable to cry or ask for help.
The girl only emitted small choking sounds as Mahito's free hand began to mercilessly strangle her without any pity or remorse.
Without wasting time, Minato threw one of his Hiraishin Kunais towards Mahito's face, who only laughed more, using the hand that had previously disfigured the girl.
He effortlessly caught the fast Kunai heading towards his face.
"!!And what is this, !!!huh?! Do you think this will hurt me?!"
Mahito exclaimed in annoyance.
Quickly, Minato created a luminous sphere charged with natural cursed energy.
In the blink of an eye, Minato reappeared in front of Mahito, using one of his Kunais to easily cut the hand holding the girl and, with the other, thrust his Rasengan into the chest of the curse, sending it flying.
Once the curse's corpse hit the wall, it created a large hole, generating a loud noise in the place.
Holding the girl in his hands, Minato noticed that he couldn't do anything to save her as the disfigurement had already reached almost her entire body. As best he could, he absorbed the positive energy from the girl's body.
In general, children were more valuable than adults, as they typically held a greater amount of positive energy compared to many adults.
Positive energy could be replenished in a human body, as it was generated by emotions such as happiness or positive feelings. It worked like a tank from which you could drain gasoline, but after a while, it would be refilled with gasoline, which was external.
However, [referring to the original user] couldn't generate positive energy and was incapable of doing so. They possessed a kind of Celestial Restriction that rendered positive emotions, which could generate positive energy in an average human, ineffective for them. Instead, these emotions only increased their production of cursed energy.
The same grating and annoying laughter echoed through the area as an apparent Mahito, seemingly back to his normal state, emerged from the hole where he had been embedded earlier.
Mahito's eyes fixed on his opponent, and he raised a hand. With a grin even more sadistic than before, he snapped his fingers, causing the corpse of the girl to aggressively mutate, changing shape rapidly and making her explode.
