"Don't try to take over my body! Stay put!"
Sukuna was forced back down, and Itadori regained control of his body. Their eyes met, and Naomitsu patted his shoulder.
"Train hard and keep him under control."
Itadori nodded earnestly. After learning that this guy was a murderous monster, he had decided to keep him trapped inside his body for the rest of his life.

Naomitsu had
