Jujutsu Kaisen: Shadow King.

Chapter 164 For Myself and For Others

After being played around like a dog by Mirai, Sukuna became completely silent and no matter how Mirai teased him, he no longer responded.

This is exactly what Future wants, so he doesn't have to come out and complain again.

"Dad, are these ten fingers the same as the one I swallowed? That thing is called a 'super cursed object'."

"Yes."

Mirai tossed the ten Sukuna fingers in his hand up and down like circus props. When the Sukuna in Yuji Itadori's body saw this, he was so angry that he laughed and dared not say a word.

"There are twenty of these."

"These ten in my hand, one in your body, five kept by the academy, and four scattered outside."

"Well~"

A wicked smile suddenly appeared on Wei's face. "I originally saved six of them, but I have obsessive compulsive disorder, so I grabbed one to make it a whole number."

"what......"

Yuji Itadori felt that the word "rob" his father mentioned was difficult to comment on, so he simply ignored it.

"If there are twenty in total...oh, does that include the hands and feet?"

"His toes are quite long, he looks more like an orangutan than me, hahahaha!"

"Do not."

Mirai denied it, "Unlike ordinary people, Sukuna has four hands."

boom! ! !

One of Sukuna's fingers was suddenly activated like a cannonball by the invisible repulsive force in Mirai's hand, instantly blasting a bathtub-sized dent in the wall of the secret room and embedding deeply into it.

High temperature caused by strong impact.

It even melted part of the wall into a deep red fluid state similar to magma.

however.

In Yuji Itadori's eyes, at least Sukuna's fingers are deformed and worn out.

Even with such a powerful blow, it didn't change at all. It remained the same as it should be and was harder than one could imagine.

"As you can see, spells of this level cannot be destroyed. It seems to be the underlying law of this world. Even I can't do anything about it for now."

The repulsive force in the hand turns into gravitational force.

Mirai instantly sucked back Sukuna's finger and explained:

"Since a certain point in time a few years ago, the curse has become stronger and stronger at an increasingly rapid rate, and the existing spell seals can no longer keep up."

"We can only retrieve them one by one and re-seal them."

"As for the special cursed item in this set of special cursed items..." Mirai paused, pointed at Yuji Itadori, and said, "It's decided to be you!"

"Yuji, you are able to resist and even suppress Sukuna's possession. You are the perfect vessel for the 'Two-faced Sukuna's Finger'."

"At worst—"

"As soon as you die, the curse in your body will also die."

"In the beginning."

"When I learned that you existed."

"Those cowardly old men in the senior management of the academy are eager to use you to get rid of the hot potato of 'Two-faced Sukuna's Finger' as soon as possible."

"but--"

"When they learned that you were my son, they shut up and stopped talking about it."

"That's right~"

"It's hard to say whether we will meet another vessel like you, Yuujin, who can perfectly withstand the Sukuna Curse in the future."

"So, Yuujin, you have two choices now."

The playful smile on the future's face faded slightly, and he continued:

"First, I will find a way to remove the Sukuna finger from your body, and then everything will be restored to its original state. You can enjoy a peaceful school life as a non-magician again."

"Second, you take the initiative to become a container, absorb all of Sukuna's fingers, and take the huge risk of possible death or possession."

"No matter what the second choice is, you will be completely disconnected from ordinary life, so I personally recommend the first one. What do you think, Yuji?"

Hear the words.

Yuji Itadori frowned tightly.

For him, who is only 15 years old now, this choice that determines his future life trajectory is too difficult.

See this.

The future smiled and said:

"If you can't make a decision now, go and visit your two frightened seniors. We still have a lot of time, so there's no rush."

"Ok!"

……

Sugisawa Hospital.

Sasaki "Maki" hung his head with a guilty look on his face.

beside her.

Jingguchi "Dongtang" was covered in bandages and lying motionless on the hospital bed.

See this situation.

Yuji Itadori, who had just entered the ward, also had a look of worry on his face.

"How is Senior Iguchi?"

"The doctor said it's nothing serious, but he hasn't regained consciousness yet..." Sasaki "Maki"'s voice gradually became smaller and mixed with tears.

"Blame me......"

"It's all my fault for asking him to go to school at night..."

"You won't believe it, a strange monster suddenly attacked us and I was caught..."

Tears of shame flowed down the girl's eyes like a waterfall.

In Yuji Itadori's eyes, he couldn't stop feeling heartbroken. It had nothing to do with love between men and women, only the most sincere friendship.

"I believe in you, Senior."

"They're not monsters, they're curses!"

"Huh?" Sasaki "Maki" was stunned when he heard that.

"That finger is called a 'special cursed item'. It has the effect of attracting curses and strengthening them."

"so......"

"The seniors are not wrong."

"It's my fault for picking it up!"

The gloom on his face only lasted for a moment, and then Yuji Itadori's sunny smile returned again.

"What the hell~"

"It was my fault that the seniors and juniors had to endure this."

"But don't worry, there's someone out there who can cure Iguchi-senpai, and I'll work hard, so this won't happen again."

"Tiger stick?"

From Yuji Itadori's words, Maki Sasaki could clearly feel his extraordinary awareness. Combined with the previous horrific experience, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

In this regard.

Yuji Itadori simply smiled in response.

"Stupid tape!"

"It's all covered with tape!"

"I really want to see the smiles of my seniors!"

The words fell.

The boy has made his choice.

……

After purifying the remaining curse on Jingguchi "Toutang" and slightly modifying the two people's memories of the curse through illusion.

Mirai and Yuji Itadori stood shoulder to shoulder at the hospital gate.

Behind the two people was a trickle of people, which was a little dim but allowed one to see the whole picture clearly.

In front of the two people was a dazzling light that was so brilliant that it was difficult to see the details.
