Chapter 125: The Outcome for Yuji Itadori.
Seeing them leave, Tatsuro slowly deactivated his Mangekyo. He felt a little annoyed in his heart. Another non-committal agreement. I really want to slaughter them...
Although he had forgotten what the agreement was, for him to have agreed, it probably wasn't anything too important. Also, that Suguru Geto was a real bastard, constantly taking advantage of him...
If I get curious again next time, I'm the bastard...
He didn't know how Nanako and Mimiko were doing. With Jogo's personality, he might really come to attack him. When that time comes, he must flatten that Mount Fuji on his head.
Feeling that it was about time, Tatsuro also set off to leave. Although he had been fleeced for a meal this time, he had also obtained useful information.
For example, using them to farm system points should be quite good. The 'contract' was a two-way street; their need for him meant they wouldn't kill him. Wasn't this the perfect opportunity to farm points?
At this thought, Tatsuro's mood greatly improved. He felt he hadn't lost much anyway. He needed Special Grades to farm mission points; it was a fair trade.
"Senior Tatsuro, I've already exorcised the cursed spirit. Where did you run off to just now?" Nobara Kugisaki, resting on a chair, called out as she saw Tatsuro approaching.
"Sorry, I was just chatting with an old friend." Tatsuro looked apologetic. Gojo Satoru had told him to check her skills, but since she could exorcise that third-grade curse so neatly, her combat ability couldn't be that bad.
He said, "The test is complete. Let's go back. I'll introduce you to your classmates."
"Alright, alright!"
Hearing that she was going to meet her future classmates, Nobara Kugisaki immediately became excited. She asked, "How many people are there?"
"Four. You'll know when you get there."
Tatsuro smiled faintly, wondering what Gojo-sensei was discussing with those old geezers at this moment.
...
"Gojo Satoru, execute Ryomen Sukuna's current vessel immediately! He absolutely must not be left alive!"
In a pitch-black wooden house, Gojo Satoru's usual playful demeanor was gone. His azure pupils stared at the Jujutsu higher-ups behind the screen, "I believe we shouldn't execute Ryomen Sukuna's vessel, Yuji Itadori, so quickly."
Another voice came, "Vetoed! As Ryomen Sukuna's fingers are indestructible special grade cursed objects, this is now the chance to kill him. As long as the vessel dies, that finger will completely disappear."
"If that's the case, how about we postpone his execution?"
Gojo Satoru's azure pupils scanned his surroundings, and he shouted, "How about we wait until he has consumed all twenty fingers, and then execute him? Wouldn't that kill Ryomen Sukuna from the root?"
Hearing Gojo Satoru's statement, the group of higher-ups felt it made sense and began to discuss in low voices.
"This bunch of trash. If killing you wasn't just treating the symptoms instead of the root cause, your heads would have long since moved."
Gojo Satoru grumbled internally. He knew that if he didn't say this, these guys would secretly kill the kid, Yuji Itadori. After all, he wasn't Okkotsu Yuta. Once Rika got angry, the entirety of Tokyo would be buried with her; the risk was too great.
After the higher-ups finished their discussion, they held a vote by raising hands. Four were in favor of Gojo Satoru's proposal, and two were against.
"Postponement of execution is passed. Once Ryomen Sukuna has consumed all the fingers, he is to be executed immediately, with Gojo Satoru personally carrying it out."
With this voice falling, this matter was considered temporarily settled. The two who had voted against had menacing looks on their faces; clearly, they didn't want Ryomen Sukuna's vessel to live.
"Okay."
Gojo Satoru glanced at everyone and then turned to leave. He didn't want to stay here for another moment. He pushed open the wooden door, closed it, smelled the outside air, and said, "What a bunch of old cowards. But at any rate, I've temporarily saved that kid's life. Other matters can be dealt with later."
He then took out a black blindfold from his pocket, tidied his flowing hair, and left directly.
Even if he alone was invincible, he still had to make appropriate compromises when facing those higher-ups. After all, even if he killed these people, others would just take their place. What he needed to do now was to cultivate a batch of outstanding jujutsu sorcerers to completely replace this rotten Jujutsu upper echelon.
Appropriate compromise doesn't mean you've surrendered; rather, it's for the sake of the bigger picture at this moment.
...
4:05 PM.
Tokyo Jujutsu High.
On the training ground, Kurosaki Tama was watching Fushiguro Megumi do frog hops and asked about Tatsuro.
"Megumi, does senior Tatsuro have someone he likes?"
"...Don't ask me. I'm not interested in this kind of gossip."
Fushiguro Megumi, in the middle of his frog hops, paused for a moment. Then, as if he had thought of something, he looked at Kurosaki Tama with a shocked expression and said, "Don't tell me you've fallen for senior?!"
"Oh my, no! How could that be?" Although Kurosaki Tama said this, her blushing face betrayed her.
"Forget it."
Fushiguro Megumi ruthlessly shattered her fantasy and said, "As far as I know, Brother Tatsuro likes the bold and straightforward type. You're as skinny as a bean sprout; you should extinguish this fantasy quickly. If he were to confess to anyone, it would be to senior Maki, who is currently out on a mission."
"..."
Hearing she had a rival, Kurosaki Tama instantly ran up and said, "Show me a picture of that senior Maki."
"..."
"I don't have one. Why would I randomly take pictures of my senior..."
Fushiguro Megumi pushed away Kurosaki Tama, who was right in front of him, and then continued his frog hop training.
Yuji Itadori was also there, unsure of the situation. He had been knocked out by Gojo-sensei last night and brought back to the school.
Although Yuji Itadori had become Ryomen Sukuna's vessel, Fushiguro Megumi didn't want him to be executed by the higher-ups. He was a very kind person with a strong sense of justice. Such a person shouldn't be executed but should become a jujutsu sorcerer to save more people.
"Yoo-hoo! Everyone's here."
Tatsuro's voice came through, and the two on the training ground turned to look.
Kurosaki Tama, seeing a girl with short orange hair standing beside Tatsuro, asked in a low voice, "Is this senior Maki?"
"No, it's not. She should be a classmate."
The two walked over.
Nobara Kugisaki looked at her future classmates. Seeing there was actually a girl, she said with relief, "That's great! I'd be very troubled if it were a team of all men. My name is Nobara Kugisaki."
"My name is Kurosaki Tama. I have a split personality," Kurosaki Tama introduced herself. Explaining the whole "two souls in one body" thing was too troublesome. She usually just said she had schizophrenia.
"The one with golden pupils right now is me. If in the future, the pupils are black, that's Kurosaki Mafuyu. Her personality is rather timid; I hope you won't bully her in the future."
"My name is Fushiguro Megumi."
"..."
Nobara Kugisaki was speechless. This seemed a bit different from the normal classmates she had imagined. One had a [split personality], and the other was cold and aloof.
What the hell is this...
"Alright, you all get to know each other. My mission is also complete. Bye-bye."
Tatsuro waved and left. He was going to find Maki and the others to play.
