On the highway.
As Kiyotaka Ijichi drove, he glanced at Gojo Satoru in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
The atmosphere inside the car was somewhat heavy.
"Gojo..."
"No need to say it."
Gojo Satoru cut Ijichi off, scratching his hair as he said, "Those old geezers brought this on themselves. My brother can't make a move as the clan head, so I'll kill a couple of them to make an example!"
Fearing Itadori's status as Sukuna's vessel, the higher-ups had outwardly agreed to Gojo Sawa's request to spare Itadori.
Yet behind the scenes, they were still pulling tricks.
For example, the first mission assigned to the three of them shortly after enrolling had been to handle a curse incident at a juvenile detention center.
