Yuji climbed up from the ground, scratched his head, and said, "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?"
Shin moved a bit closer to him and gave him a brief rundown of common knowledge in the Jujutsu World.
"Itadori, your current situation is because you ate some kind of cursed object, right? Although it seems like you can control your 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 Gojo-sensei would be willing to break that rule."
Satoru relaxed only after carefully observing 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 object you ate, Yuji?"
Yuji answered, "The Cursed Womb: Death Painting and the fingers of Ryomen Sukuna—I ate both. Sorry, Kagura, 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 Sukuna fingers into me."
"I think I fell into an unconscious state for a while, but I recovered quickly. After that, 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."
Yuji explained everything that had happened after Satoru and 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..."
Satoru completely ignored 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's fingers. Wow! Interesting. Shin, bring Yuji to the back mountain."
He seemed to have returned to being the arrogant 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 Shin watched Satoru's back, he felt that Satoru 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 Shin brought Yuji to the back mountain, Satoru had already composed himself.
"Shin, 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."
Shin nodded, calmed his mind to adjust his Domain, and then fully expanded it.
The massive shell of the Domain covered a large area.
Satoru raised his hand and fired a Red at Shin's Domain shell. After the violent explosion, the shell didn't budge at all.
Satoru nodded in satisfaction. "Shin, keep track of the time, let's say one minute. As for Yuji, release Sukuna for one minute. Remember to suppress him back once the time is up."
Yuji was worried. "Huh? But I heard Sukuna is very strong. Won't something happen?"
Satoru confidently smiled. "It's fine. I'm the strongest and of course, Shin isn't bad either."
Yuji didn't say anything more. He slightly closed his eyes, and black markings soon appeared on his body. The four eyes on his face opened simultaneously, and he instantly swung a slash at both Shin and Satoru.
Satoru didn't dodge, the slash couldn't penetrate his Infinity at all. As for 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 Shin using his Maximum Technique. However, the cooldown was quite long, lasting ten minutes. 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.
Sukuna touched the wound on his body in surprise, using Reverse Cursed Technique to heal it while laughing wildly.
"Very nice! It seems your Cursed Technique is truly powerful! I'm getting more and more interested in your body!"
He stomped on the ground and threw a punch at Satoru, but his fist was still blocked by Infinity.
'Interesting. Is this the Infinity that Kenjaku mentioned?'
After the failed strike, Sukuna was punched in the face by 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 Satoru's face.
Bang!
The punch landed solidly on Satoru's forearm, which he used to block, causing him to slide back several meters on the ground.
Satoru shook his forearm and quickly used Reverse Cursed Technique to recover from the soreness.
"Domain Amplification? It makes sense. How could the King of Curses from a thousand years ago not know how to use such a simple trick?"
Shin checked the time and shouted to the two who were facing off, "Time's up! Itadori, you can take control of your body again!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sukuna was suppressed by Yuji's consciousness. Satoru turned the power of his Six Eyes to the maximum to carefully observe the changes within Yuji's body.
Sukuna struggled as hard as he could, but Yuji's soul crushed his resistance, quickly suppressing Sukuna's soul into a corner of the body until it stopped moving.
"Oh? This is 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 Shin dispelled the Domain, the three reappeared in the back mountain of Jujutsu High.
Satoru told Shin to take Yuji back first while he went to report to the Higher-Ups and secure 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, Satoru's visit to them now was merely to provide notification. Under the double pressure of Satoru's overwhelming strength and his status as the current head of the Gojo clan, one of The Big Three Families, the Higher-Ups wouldn't disagree with his "suggestion."
It's just that visiting the Higher-Ups at this time required eloquence. Satoru had to save face for the Higher-Ups while achieving his own goals, which was a bit difficult.
