Chapter 117

Itadori's limit as Ryomen Sukuna's vessel might have been two or three Ryomen Sukuna fingers at first.

But if Itadori could become stronger as a vessel, then the limit of the vessel itself would naturally become stronger as well.

This was why Jujutsu High, despite having other sealed Ryomen Sukuna fingers, wasn't in a hurry to have Itadori swallow them all immediately.

As early as when he arrived at this Tokyo Juvenile Detention Center, Ryomen Sukuna had felt the aura of his finger.

And in Ryomen Sukuna's view, this was a rare opportunity. If his plan went smoothly, he could ditch this damn guy Itadori and be thoroughly resurrected in this era.

The most troublesome Gojo Satoru was currently not by Itadori and the others' side, and according to Ryomen Sukuna's calculations, if Itadori swallowed his three fingers now, once the other party let him out, he should have the ability to struggle a little.

And as long as he killed Itadori's few companions during the short time he, Ryomen Sukuna, was out, especially that Aunt Wenren Shengzai, and let Itadori see this scene.

Then Itadori would inevitably have a mental breakdown. Three fingers were already Itadori's limit at the current stage, and with a mental breakdown on top of that, Ryomen Sukuna had about a seventy or eighty percent chance of directly replacing Itadori.

With the power of three fingers, wanting to deal with that Gojo Satoru from before would probably still be beyond his reach, but that wasn't a big problem either.

After all, the other party wasn't here now, and by the time he found this place, he would have long since fled.

First, kill that Aunt Wenren Shengzai who dared to provoke him before, and then wait until the other fingers were collected and his power was restored, then find that Gojo Satoru to take revenge and rub him directly into the ground!

After Itadori and the other three had just entered the Innate Domain, a cursed spirit with a white human upper body and a black snake lower body suddenly appeared silently in front of them.

When they felt the powerful pressure emanating from this cursed spirit, the trio was instantly frozen in place, unable to move.

And Ryomen Sukuna, sitting on a throne of white bones inside Itadori, couldn't help but grin from ear to ear upon seeing this Special Grade cursed spirit appear.

Previously, he had really been a bit worried that if the Special Grade cursed spirit here was killed by Shengzai first, his plan would really be ruined.

Although they hadn't been in contact for long, Ryomen Sukuna could also feel that, unlike the thick-headed Itadori and Fushiguro Megumi, who seemed calm but was actually easily impulsive and ready to go all out at any moment, that brat Shengzai was far more cunning and intelligent than the two of them.

Before even entering here, the other party had already keenly sensed that the cursed spirit here had a similar aura to himself and had stopped Itadori from entering.

If Shengzai were by Itadori's side, Ryomen Sukuna wouldn't have much confidence in successfully getting his hands on this third finger.

Even when Shengzai was by Itadori's side just now, Ryomen Sukuna hadn't popped out, and only after he left did Ryomen Sukuna dare to come out and lure Itadori.

I have to say, his plan had been quite successful so far.

The Special Grade cursed spirit in front of him, although Ryomen Sukuna thought it was pathetic, was more than enough to deal with the three rookies, Itadori and the others.

Facts also proved that Ryomen Sukuna's conjecture was not wrong at all. Although Itadori and the other two had good potential and talent, they hadn't grown up yet.

Freshmen just entering school going up against a Special Grade cursed spirit, even if the other party was also a newborn, the gap in cursed energy was there. For the trio, besides being brutally abused, there was almost no other possibility.

The Divine Dog summoned by Fushiguro Megumi was killed instantly by the other party in just one encounter.

The nails Kugisaki hit with cursed energy couldn't even break the other party's defense!

Itadori also gripped the Slaughter Demon, and while slashing at the other party's neck, accompanied by sparks flying, a sound of metal clashing echoed in the air.

However, the Special Grade cursed spirit that was slashed not only was completely fine, but also cracked a weird smile at Itadori.

Then, in the next second, accompanied by an afterimage flashing in front of him, when Itadori felt a sharp pain in his arm, he discovered that his right hand, which had just been holding the knife, had been cut off directly by the other party's hand blade!

Watching Itadori, who had lost an arm and was bleeding profusely, Fushiguro Megumi and Kugisaki also showed expressions of horror, and then they each took their weapons and rushed toward the Special Grade cursed spirit.

However, regrettably, when Fushiguro Megumi's black sword and Kugisaki's hammer smashed toward the place where the Special Grade cursed spirit had just been, the other party's figure had already vanished.

And in the next second, the abdomens of both Fushiguro and Kugisaki suffered heavy blows simultaneously, and their bodies were sent flying backward at an astonishing speed, smashing deep pits into the walls on both sides.

"Itadori, you really are weak. In your current soft and powerless state, let alone helping those who need saving, you can't even protect your own companions, right?

Because of your stubbornness, not only are you going to die now, but you're also dragging your companions to their deaths with you.

Why not hand over control of your body to me? For trash like this, it would be a piece of cake for me to kill it. Do you want to watch your companions die with your own eyes?"

Seeing that Itadori and the other three were about to be wiped out, Ryomen Sukuna popped out again at the right time.

Because he had been staying inside Itadori, he knew Itadori's weak point very well. If it weren't for a life-or-death situation, the other party would never hand over control of his body to him.

And because of excessive blood loss, Itadori, whose consciousness had begun to blur, looked at Fushiguro and Kugisaki trapped in the walls on both sides. Despite some internal struggle, he had to say weakly: "Control of the body... can be... temporarily handed to you.

But you... must promise... me, while you are controlling my body, you are not allowed to hurt Fushiguro and Kugisaki."

Ryomen Sukuna hadn't expected that even when Itadori's consciousness was blurred and he was on the verge of death, he still hadn't forgotten to consider the safety of Fushiguro Megumi and Kugisaki Nobara.

According to the original plan, he, Ryomen Sukuna, was going to kill all of Itadori's little friends.

But if he agreed to Itadori's condition, the only person left to kill would be Aunt Wenren Shengzai.

"No problem, I agree to your condition."

After hesitating for only a moment, Ryomen Sukuna agreed to Itadori's deal, because in his view, Fushiguro Megumi and Kugisaki weren't necessarily must-kills anyway.

They were just two small characters. Shengzai was Itadori's best friend and spiritual pillar, and also the person Ryomen Sukuna had to kill. As long as he could kill Shengzai, that would be enough!

As for why Itadori only asked him not to hurt Fushiguro and Kugisaki, and didn't add Shengzai, Ryomen Sukuna thought it should be because only Fushiguro and Kugisaki were here.
