Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Decision
"Good Morning." Gojo greeted Yuji as he woke up from his unconscious state.
"Good morning." Yuji also returned the greeting. Due to his battle with Sukuna, he feels refreshed, but Sukuna doesn't seem to be doing so well. While their fight wasn't completely one-sided, Sukuna being incomplete with his soul scattered and Yuji bound by the restrictions he had placed on himself because of that, they both couldn't muster their full force.
But from the fight alone, Yuji could say that Sukuna was one of the strongest powerhouses. If not the strongest, his fighting style was extremely refined and his fighting style was made to kill his opponent.
If they fight using their physical bodies, then, Yuji is sure that he won't win like he had in the "soul world", as he likes to call it. Although his current body has potential, Yuji's physical body isn't strong enough to contain an ounce of his soul power. And he also didn't want to modify this body to make his soul adapt to it, as an immortal he had time so there was no need to rush things.
Yuji confirmed that Gojo is also powerful. He was able to one-sidedly beat Sukuna without dropping a sweat. Of course, Sukuna was in a weak state. Given that Gojo was able to counter Sukuna's fighting style, it puts him on the list of strong.
This is just a guess, but given that the being known as 'Immortal Soul' has millions of years of experience, his guesses are often correct.
"Which one are you? Oh right, I haven't introduced myself. My name is Satoru Gojo, I teach first year at Jujutsu High. I have both good news and bad news for you. Which one would you like to hear first?" Gojo as soon he Yuji woke up.
Yuji soon noticed that he was in a weird room with a lot of stickers on the walls. It looked more like a cage than a room, and he was also tied up by a thick rope containing the same energy he had sensed earlier.
"Where is this place?"
"This is an interrogation room for powerful cursed spirits. You've already eaten a cured item, making you a Cursed Spirit or a vessel to Cursed Spirit. Because of that the higher-ups made some decisions, Which one do you need to hear first, the good one or the bad one?"
"Let's hear the bad one first."
"Itadori Yuji, your execution has been set up and the good news is that it's temporarily suspended." What the fuck? Yuji wanted to ask. He had no clue what the Gojo was thinking.
Is this something you'd say to a kid who just woke up? He's probably joking, but maybe he has a screw loose in his head. Who am I kidding? After living so long, I wonder if I'm still sane. Yuji then looked straight at Gojo. Whether sane or not, he needs to collect information to blend in with the current society.
"Can you explain what is happening? I can't understand what you are saying. Why am I being executed? What is this cursed spirit? And why am I in this weird-looking room."
"Alright, let me explain from the top," Gojo said as he took a similar-looking finger from his pocket, it looked exactly the same as the memory of previous Yuji.
"This is the same as the cursed item you ate. There are twenty of them, and six are currently in the possession of Jujutsu High." Then Gojo inserted his cursed energy into Sukuna's and crashed it into the wall-covering talisman.
There was no damage to the finger.
"As you can see, these curses are so powerful that no one can destroy them. Each passing day makes them even stronger. We don't have anyone who can completely seal them, let alone destroy them. This is where you come in. You have the ability to become the vessel for sukuna without losing your will. If you die then the Cursed Item will also destroy along with you."
"However, our elders were cowards; they immediately ordered your execution after hearing the news. That would be a waste of talent, so I made a proposal to them; If we're going to kill him, then why not kill him after he consumes the rest of the Sukuna's Cursed Item?"
"And we don't know how long it will take to find a vessel like you, who can control Sukuna's cursed item. So the higher-ups agreed, and you have two options: either die now and never have to put your hand on this side of the world, or find the remaining parts of Sukuna and die after taking them all into your body." Gojo explained.
Am I lucky or what? It's like Sukuna is a big deal, and if my prediction is correct, then I can also learn more about curses and Cursed Spirits from Gojo. I hope he will get me into the Jujutsu High, maybe I should tell him to teach me more about curses. Before I should go to the mortuary to collect Yuji's grandfather's body, considering it a form of payment for possessing this body. Yuji thought.
What Yuji thinks is disturbing by human standards, because he's partly responsible for the previous Yuji's death and the current him is trying to make amends by giving a proper burial for his grandfather's body—It's not equal, no matter who compares it.
However, for current Yuji, this is just a usual thing; he views life and death as illusions. It's only his last bit of humanity that makes him try to compensate for possessing Yuji's body.
🔹🔹🔹
After giving a proper burial to the Itadori's grandfather, Yuji was sitting on a bench with Gojo on his right.
"Who was it?" Gojo asked, he was with Yuji during the entire process.
"My Grandfather."
"Sorry to bother you in such a situation. Have you made your decision?"
"Yes."
"Looking at you, it seems like a positive thing. Here, you know what to do with this." Gojo said as he handed over the Sukuna's finger to Yuji.
Not the worst I've seen, and eaten, but at least I hope it tastes good. Yuji took Sukuna's finger from Gojo's hand and ate it.
