Itadori Yuji climbed up from the ground, scratched his head, and said to the others,
"Sorry, I don't know why, but he was able to come out and speak today. That hasn't happened the last couple of days. Did he scare you?"
Kagura Shin moved a bit closer to him and gave him a brief rundown of common knowledge in the Jujutsu World.
"Yuji, your current situation is because you ate some kind of cursed object, right? Although it seems like you can completely control your own body, according to the regulations of the Jujutsu World, you are to be sentenced to death!"
"Of course, if you really can perfectly control your body, I think Teacher Gojo would be willing to break that rule."
Gojo Satoru relaxed only after carefully observing Itadori Yuji's condition.
"Yeah, that's right. If you can control it perfectly, then I guarantee those 'rotten oranges' won't be able to do anything to you. So, do you know what cursed objects you ate, Yuji?"
"The cursed womb: death painting and the fingers of ryomen sukuna—I ate both. Sorry, Shin, I didn't take good care of the cursed objects you entrusted to me."
"Everyone was heavily injured that day, and I had no other choice. I could only try eating the cursed womb: death painting, and it seemed to work, but I still couldn't defeat the enemy. After I was captured, a black-haired guy with squinty eyes dressed as a monk stuffed a handful of the fingers of ryomen sukuna into me."
"I think I fell into an unconscious state for a while, but I recovered quickly. After that, Ryomen Sukuna inside my body stayed quiet for two days. I thought everything was fine, but I didn't expect him to come out and speak today."
Itadori Yuji slowly explained everything that had happened after Gojo Satoru and Kagura Shin left Jujutsu High. At that moment, Sukuna emerged again.
"Brat, if it weren't for your weird body, I would have taken it over long ago. Once I'm free, the first thing I'll do is kill everyone standing in front of you right now! Hahaha..."
Gojo Satoru completely ignored Ryomen Sukuna's wild laughter and asked curiously,
"So, Yuji, you've eaten two different types of cursed objects, one of which is even the King of Curses, the fingers of ryomen sukuna Wow Interesting. Shin, bring Yuji to the back mountain."
He seemed to have returned to being the arrogant Gojo Satoru who stood alone as the honored one throughout heaven and earth, holding his head high as he led the way to the back mountain.
However, as Kagura Shin watched Gojo Satoru's back, he felt that Gojo was forcing himself to suppress his emotions.
[A black-haired guy with squinty eyes in monk's robes... Is it you, Suguru...?]
By the time Kagura Shin brought Itadori Yuji to the back mountain, Gojo Satoru had already composed himself.
"Shin, please expand your Domain to cover us. However, you don't need the Domain to have the effect of neutralizing Cursed Techniques; just prevent the battle inside from affecting the outside. This might be difficult for an average person, but for your Domain, it should be possible!"
Kagura Shin nodded, calmed his mind to adjust his Domain, and then fully expanded it.
The massive shell of the Domain covered a large area. Gojo Satoru raised his hand and fired a [Red] at Kagura Shin's Domain shell. After the violent explosion, the shell didn't budge at all, and Gojo nodded in satisfaction.
"Shin, keep track of the time; let's say one minute. As for Yuji, release Ryomen Sukuna for one minute later. Remember to suppress him back once the time is up~"
"Huh? But I heard Ryomen Sukuna is very strong. Won't something happen?"
"It's fine. I'm the strongest—and of course, Shin isn't bad either!"
Itadori Yuji didn't say anything more. He slightly closed his eyes, and black cursed markings soon appeared on his body. The four eyes on his face opened simultaneously, and he instantly swung a slash at both Kagura Shin and Gojo Satoru.
Gojo Satoru didn't dodge; the slash couldn't penetrate his [Infinity] at all. As for Kagura Shin, he donned a full netherite armor set radiating a prismatic glow. The moment the slash hit him, a bone-deep wound appeared on Sukuna's chest instead.
This armor had been granted the [Complete Damage Reflection] ability by Kagura Shin using his Maximum Technique. However, the cooldown was quite long, lasting ten minutes. Kagura Shin had tried injecting more experience points to shorten the cooldown, but after consuming sixty levels of experience only to shorten it by one minute, he gave up.
Ryomen Sukuna touched the wound on his body in surprise, using his Reverse Cursed Technique to heal it while laughing wildly.
"Good, good, good! Very nice! It seems your Cursed Technique is truly powerful! I'm getting more and more interested in your body!"
He stomped hard on the ground and threw a punch at Gojo Satoru, but his fist was still blocked by [Infinity].
[Interesting. Is this the Infinity that Kenjaku mentioned?]
After the failed strike, Ryomen Sukuna was punched in the face by Gojo Satoru, flying back over ten meters. Sukuna adjusted his posture mid-air and, upon landing, immediately closed the distance again to throw a punch at Gojo's face.
[Bang!]
The punch landed solidly on Gojo Satoru's forearm, which he used to block, causing Gojo to slide back several meters on the ground.
Gojo Satoru shook his forearm and quickly used his Reverse Cursed Technique to recover from the soreness.
"Domain Amplification? Well, it makes sense. How could the King of Curses from a thousand years ago not know how to use such a simple trick?"
Kagura Shin checked the time and shouted to the two who were facing off.
"Time's up! Yuji, you can take control of your body again!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ryomen Sukuna was suppressed by Itadori Yuji's consciousness. Gojo Satoru turned the power of his Six Eyes to the maximum to carefully observe the changes within Itadori Yuji's body.
Ryomen Sukuna struggled as hard as he could, but Itadori Yuji's soul crushed his resistance, quickly suppressing Sukuna's soul into a corner of the body until it stopped moving.
"Oh~ This is truly... a suppressive force like a natural predator. Who would have thought the King of Curses from a thousand years ago could be so pathetic?"
As Kagura Shin dispelled the Domain, the three reappeared in the back mountain of Jujutsu High. Gojo Satoru told Kagura Shin to take Itadori Yuji back first while he went to report to the Higher-Ups and secure Itadori Yuji's life.
If he didn't tell those 'rotten oranges' now, they would only panic more when they found out on their own, and they might even punish everyone who knew about it but didn't report it.
However, Gojo Satoru's visit to them now was merely to provide notification. Under the double pressure of Gojo Satoru's overwhelming strength and his status as the current head of the Gojo Family, one of The Big Three Families, the Higher-Ups wouldn't disagree with Gojo Satoru's "suggestion." It's just that visiting the Higher-Ups at this time required the art of conversation; Gojo Satoru had to save face for the Higher-Ups while achieving his own goals, which was still a bit difficult.
