But unexpectedly, fortunes have turned around, and now it's his turn to consider it.

After sighing inwardly at how troublesome the power of fate was, Satoru Gojo turned his gaze to Yuji Itadori: "But there really are people who can suppress Ryomen Sukuna with their own willpower. Compared to that, this is truly a rare thing."

Miyauchi Hiyage casually spoiled the plot. "It's probably because his fate is inextricably linked to Sukuna. Although I can't see it clearly, in my eyes, everything that happened tonight has a reason."

"Ryomen Sukuna was destined to be resurrected in this era; it was inevitable. Even without this boy, he would have returned in another form sooner or later."

"It should be said that it was because of this boy's choice that Sukuna was able to revive in this body that could restrain him, which is actually a good thing for the Jujutsu High."

Satoru Gojo was able to understand the meaning of the Miyauchi Hiyage.

In other words, under the observation of the Destiny Power, Ryomen Sukuna will inevitably be resurrected.

The fact that this method of resurrection is now out in the open and still under control is a stroke of good luck amidst misfortune.

However, Satoru Gojo still took Miyauchi Hiyage's words, "There's a reason for everything," to heart.

This statement seems to imply that Yuji Itadori swallowing Sukuna's finger was a pre-planned event.

Satoru Gojo glanced at Yuji Itadori's body.

After that, he still had to investigate the other party's family background to see if the other party's family had any special bloodline.

As for now...

He flashed behind Yuji Itadori and struck the back of the neck with just the right amount of force, causing the other man to fall into a deep, unconscious state.

"Until we decide on your future, we can only let you rest for a while."

He muttered to himself, then continued to look at the Miyauchi Hiyage.

"What do you think we should do with him?"

Miyauchi Hiyage shrugged indifferently. "Didn't you already have an idea? Let this 'vessel' play its greatest role. Ryomen Sukuna with twenty fingers should be able to exert strength no less than he did in life by relying on this body that is so compatible with him."

"Don't you want to have a battle with the strongest Sorcerers in history to decide who is the strongest Sorcerers?"

Satoru Gojo smiled upon hearing this.

"I have no such thoughts, because I am the strongest Sorcerers right now."

Although they may be brought down by Miyauchi Hiyage in the near future, strictly speaking, neither Miyauchi Hiyage nor Shinomiya Kaguya can be considered proper Sorcerers.

Satoru Gojo realized that the source of the power wielded by Miyauchi Hiyage was very chaotic, and that the power of Sorcerers probably accounted for only about 10% of the opponent's power.

"However, your idea is not bad. Letting this boy eat twenty fingers and then eliminating Ryomen Sukuna in one go, allowing this former King of Curses to die in the modern world is not a bad choice."

"Of course, it also depends on his own willingness... Hmm, there might be some trouble with the higher-ups in the sorcery world, but it shouldn't be a big problem."

Although Satoru Gojo hasn't reported Yuji Itadori's situation to the higher-ups in the Jujutsu system yet, those guys probably know that the higher-ups can't control him.

Satoru Gojo is still willing to play with these insects because they still retain some rationality in his presence.

Even if they fear him to the point of wishing him dead, as long as he is alive, the Masamichi Yaga can still nominally control him.

So the higher-ups in the sorcery world can only give him face in these matters, allowing him to act according to their wishes to the greatest extent possible.

This was the case when Yuta Okkotsu, and it was also the case when Yuji Itadori was in this state.

However, there is now another person standing beside him, Miyauchi Hiyage, who seems to be highly valued by the higher-ups in the jutsu. It is believed that as long as Miyauchi Hiyage's words are told to these higher-ups, it will not be a problem to temporarily save Yuji Itadori's life.

If Yuji Itadori is unwilling to continue serving as Sukuna's vessel, then they will have no choice but to find a way to separate Sukuna's fingers from his body.

Although Satoru Gojo didn't have much hope for this.

Yuji Itadori's body has now been corrupted by Ryomen Sukuna, and a connection has been established between the two. Even if Yuji Itadori can suppress Sukuna now, it is almost impossible to remove Sukuna's fingers painlessly if Sukuna himself is unwilling.

Neither of the two paths left for Yuji Itadori actually led to a good ending.

One option is to undergo surgery to remove Sukuna's finger, which carries a huge risk. Even in the best-case scenario, Yuji Itadori's body would be significantly affected.

The other option is to wait until Yuji Itadori has eaten all twenty fingers and become the complete Sukuna before Satoru Gojo takes action to completely eliminate Ryomen Sukuna.

If that's the case, Yuji Itadori's future is sealed; he'll only face certain death.

However, at the moment Yuji Itadori swallowed Sukuna's finger, it was already quite good that he was given these two paths.

"I don't think so. There will always be a solution. I have high hopes for this guy's future. Maybe he will become a very good Sorcerers in the future," Miyauchi Hiyage said, his gaze fixed on the unconscious Yuji Itadori.

In the original work, the later Ryomen Sukuna possessed the body of Megumi Fushiguro, who was experiencing a mental breakdown.

However, at the last moment, when Yuji Itadori struck Sukuna with his Black Flash elbow, Kugizaki Nobara used the Chuling Curse on Sukuna's last finger from a distance and transmitted it to Sukuna's body. As a result, at the last moment, Sukuna with nineteen fingers was directly shaken out of Megumi Fushiguro's body by this combination attack.

In the end Megumi Fushiguro did not die along with Sukuna after Sukuna's return to life.

This at least means that Yuji Itadori did not have to sacrifice his own life to perish together with Sukuna.

"It seems your eyes have seen quite a lot again, but with your answer, I can finally rest assured," Satoru Gojo said with a sigh. He then gestured for Megumi Fushiguro to carry Yuji Itadori, before turning to look at Shinomiya Kaguya.

"Then I'll leave the rest of the work to you, Shinomiya, and the local Sorcerers. I'll take Fushiguro and this boy back to the Jujutsu High to deal with the other person's situation."

Although dealing with the aftermath is rather troublesome, it is indeed a way to expand one's network. Shinomiya Kaguya came to work with Megumi Fushiguro on missions precisely for these connections, so she naturally agreed without any objection.

"As for the Ley Line anomaly in Morioh, I will come back to check it out after I have dealt with this boy's matter."

Of course, he also needed to give Megumi Fushiguro a good beating on the way.

A level-two Sorcerers, who had awakened ten shadow spells—the strongest technique of the Zen'in Family —was almost successfully ambushed by a level-two cursed spirit.

If it weren't for Shinomiya Kaguya's help, he probably would have been seriously injured, if not killed.

However, Satoru Gojo also took Megumi Fushiguro away for Megumi Fushiguro's sake.

After all, Shinomiya Kaguya had only officially joined the Jujutsu High a few days ago, and she had already gained Level 1 strength through Extraordinary Awakening. In fact, she was even stronger than Megumi Fushiguro in terms of combat experience.

Let's let Megumi Fushiguro go back with him and adjust his mindset.

Chapter 352: I'm performing the Sukuna?

Naturally, the half-minute video of Miyauchi Hiyage and Itachi Sukuna's fight was uploaded to the Chat Group by Yotsuya Miko less than ten minutes after the fight.

"Kototsuki—you and Kotozuki In so cool! They just overpowered Ryomen Sukuna, and she didn't seem to have any chance to fight back at all. Is this all the King of Curses is? I feel like I could do it myself," said Doma Umaru. She was watching the video and was so excited that she grabbed a pillow from her hotel room and recreated Miyauchi Hiyage's moves.

The You Know Who had actually written about these moves in his diary, and even later when other girls asked him about these moves, You Know Who gave many answers and explanations.

But so far, only Miyauchi Hiyage has been able to perform this set of boxing techniques so beautifully.

If you only watch this 30-second video, the result is that Ryomen Sukuna overestimates himself. Every time he goes to Miyauchi Hiyage, he is defeated by Miyauchi Hiyage in two or three moves. It looks like a martial arts master casually toying with a novice who only knows some fancy moves.

"If it were you, you'd probably be torn to pieces by Ryomen Sukuna in less than a second," Black Cat, Umaru's gaming partner, Umaru without hesitation, looking at Umaru's excited expression.

Although Umaru now possesses extraordinary powers, ultimately she only uses mahjong tiles to smash people, and her success is heavily reliant on luck and teammates.

Right now, she can only bully low-level cursed Vengeful Spirit. In the Impression Space, she has a hard time fighting even slightly stronger shadows on her own and needs the cooperation of teammates.

Shinomiya Kaguya also mentioned in the group chat that the two strange beings she was dealing with were the Ryomen Sukuna who were easily defeated by Miyauchi Hiyage, in just a few moves.

"It can only be said that Hikage-kun's strength has far surpassed that of Sukuna in this state. After all, Sukuna is only at the One-Finger level. If Sukuna at the One-Finger level could defeat Hikage-kun, who already has the strength of a Special Grade, it would be too outrageous."

"According to Himakage-kun, Sukuna's abilities in all aspects are comparable to a top-tier gatekeeper. If you have strength above top-tier, you're easy to deal with. If you don't, you can still exchange blows with him, but you basically have no chance of defeating him."

Several girls who were more concerned about Miyauchi Hiyage's strength continued to ask in the group, "So, has Miyauchi already mastered the domain? It's only been a short time. Isn't the Domain Expansion supposed to be the most profound skill of Sorcerers? I remember Miyauchi has hardly ever attended any classes at the Jujutsu High."

In response, Shinomiya Kaguya and Yotsuya Miko could only say that geniuses are treated differently. Miyauchi Hiyage could basically borrow the relevant books directly from the Jujutsu High School by simply telling the teachers there, and then master those things by doing some casual research.

Of course, this cannot be entirely attributed to Miyauchi Hiyage's own talent; the contribution of Projection Magic must also be considered.

Basically, when faced with a topic that interests him, Miyauchi Hiyage only needs to project the corresponding spell tool or object, and then he can receive the other party's skills through the projected tool.

As long as you can calm down and learn and feel the memories that directly affect your body when you acquire these skills.

To outsiders unaware of the secrets of Projection Magic, Miyauchi Hiyage is the kind of super genius who can quickly master anything new, no matter what it is.

Therefore, in the minds of many girls, it wouldn't be surprising if Miyauchi Hiyage had actually Domain Expansion of research after spending so much time in seclusion.

However, Miyauchi Hiyage remained humble about this, stating that this rudimentary form of the domain was his current limit, and that he could only maintain it for a short period of time. He said that it would take a long time before he could fully unleash the domain freely.

Satellites need to be released one by one so that their "progress" can be traced.

"Moreover, this is not my own effort alone. Miss Tohru also provided me with a lot of help during the research process."

Tohru's existence was naturally no secret.

Miyauchi Hiyage had already mentioned Tohru's identity in his Diary, so these girls were already aware of Tohru's existence.

Even though the girls and Miyauchi Hiyage all tacitly kept silent about this, treating Tohru only as a "mysterious and powerful superhuman who had been helped by Miyauchi Hiyage and Menma," it was still a tacit agreement.

After all, Tohru wasn't the owner of the second batch of Diary; in fact, she was considered an extremely powerful figure, so everyone was just trying to build a good relationship with her.

However, Tohru is quite a homebody these days, spending most of his time at home doing research, only popping up occasionally when filming videos, and he didn't even participate in this group outing.

So many girls can't get along with Tohru even if they want to.

Miyauchi Hiyage continued, "However, it's only a semi-finished product right now. After Miss Tohru and I have finished researching it, we'll simplify these techniques and teach them to you. Although it may not be as powerful as a regular Domain Expansion, it should be fine for fighting against those who have mastered domains. Just treat it as an enhanced version of a Simple Domain."

Listening to Miyauchi Hiyage's words, Shinomiya Kaguya was still looking forward to it.

After all, she had been in contact with the Reverse Side World for quite some time, and she was fairly clear about the Domain Expansion and the situation of Simple Domain.

Currently, the mainstream is still the Simple Domain of the Shinkage Style. However, it is easy to join the Shinkage Style, but difficult to leave. Basically, a bondage can lock up those Sorcerers with average talent for a lifetime.

After learning the truth about the Shinkage Style, Shinomiya Kaguya would no longer choose to join Shinkage Style.

Apart from that, the power of other Simple Domain and similar domains is quite troublesome.

Because of the suppression by the Shinkage Style, although there are indeed other schools of thought in the Jujutsu Society that focus on Simple Domain, they are basically taught privately one-on-one under the guise of master and disciple, so as to avoid being suppressed by the more powerful Shinkage Style.

As for abilities in other similar fields, they would be considered quite advanced skills even within other extraordinary systems, and obviously not something that can be learned casually.

Now that Miyauchi Hiyage has said so, given their research speed, they should be able to obtain the Simple Domain training method developed by Tohru and Miyauchi Hiyage within a month at the latest.

By then, after they successfully complete their cultivation, they should at least have a level two strength.

"But I heard that Ryomen Sukuna, at his peak, almost wiped out all the Sorcerers of that era. If he really ate twenty fingers and regained his peak strength, even Gojo-sensei probably wouldn't be a match for him."

After Satoru Gojo left with Megumi Fushiguro and Yuji Itadori, Shinomiya Kaguya contacted the local supernatural organization to handle the situation at the school while asking Miyauchi Hiyage with some concern.

After all, according to the You Know Who, the final battle was when Ryomen Sukuna cut Satoru Gojo in half with a single spatial slash.

"That is indeed possible," Miyauchi Hiyage replied casually. "Although it's only a finger strike so far, we can already sense Sukuna's fighting style. If he were to return to his peak condition, I'm afraid there are few Sorcerers in the world whose Cursed Energy can compare to his."

"Moreover, the other party suppressed an era, and probably still has a lot of skills that were lost from that era in their mind. Although modern Sorcerers have also developed a lot of new things, Sukuna can secretly study and master those modern sorcery skills, and then use what's in his mind as a trump card when the time comes."

"With such a gap in intelligence between the enemy and ourselves, if Gojo-sensei is careless for a moment, there is indeed a considerable chance of him making a mistake."

In terms of adapting to the times, Ryomen Sukuna in the original work did a pretty good job. After figuring out Satoru Gojo's abilities, he probably kept thinking about what he could use to defeat Satoru Gojo.

Then there's the expansion into various fields, the various kinds of restrictive loans, and most importantly, the loan space slash—these are all things he kept hidden until the final battle, and it was indeed these things that helped him defeat Satoru Gojo.

Miyauchi Hiyage said this, and then his tone suddenly changed.

"But right now, I still think more highly of Gojo-sensei."

Shinomiya Kaguya looked at Miyauchi Hiyage with some curiosity, wanting to know why Miyauchi Hiyage said that.

Miyauchi Hiyage, on the other hand, smiled and pointed to himself.

"Because I'm here."

"It's not because I would help Gojo-sensei when the two of them fight, but because of my appearance, Gojo-sensei's mentality has changed."

Miyauchi Hiyage further explained.

"Before I appeared, the name Satoru Gojo was synonymous with the strongest Sorcerers in the Jujutsu Society. From his student days to now, for more than ten years, no one has been able to challenge that title. The strength that Sukuna, who has just been resurrected, has shown is unlikely to affect Gojo-sensei's confidence."

"Although it may sound narcissistic, because of my appearance, Gojo-sensei must have felt that his position as the strongest was threatened by me, his junior. So, in order to maintain his dignity as the strongest and as a teacher, he would naturally spend more time researching how to counter my power."

Since Satoru Gojo mastered the Reverse Cursed Technique while killing Fushiguro Toji ten years ago, and subsequently mastered the Domain Expansion, Satoru Gojo has firmly stood at the pinnacle of the Jujutsu Society.

However, due to the suppression from those insects above, he was unable to rewrite the landscape of the Jujutsu Society according to his own ideas. He could only rely on Masamichi Yaga as an intermediary to maintain the balance between the two sides. So, over time, Satoru Gojo's mentality gradually became more and more at ease.

Or perhaps Satoru Gojo was using these mundane matters of daily life to distract himself from his negative emotions.

At the same time, since Sukuna had just been resurrected, was indeed no match for Satoru Gojo, he was allowed to maintain a relaxed mindset.

It's possible that he was implicated in the Shibuya Incident and imprisoned by the imperial family.

But it's still a bit too late to take it seriously at this point.

In the final battle with Sukuna, Satoru Gojo was indeed far inferior to Sukuna, who had fought against Sorcerers his entire life, in terms of the use of domains and techniques.

Despite possessing the ability to fly and remotely launch nuclear missiles, he consistently relied on his Reverse Cursed Technique's healing ability to engage in domain-based combat and hand-to-hand fighting with Sukuna.

But now, with the appearance of the Miyauchi Hiyage, the situation has long since changed.

Since Miyauchi Hiyage used Wonder of U Calamity Power, Satoru Gojo should have already started researching how to deal with Calamity Power.

Today, Miyauchi Hiyage deliberately used the power of Wonder of U as a domain, not only for his own position as the strongest, but also to ensure the order of the Jujutsu Society. Satoru Gojo needs to find a power that can rival Miyauchi Hiyage.
