"Give me the finger… I choose to get all 20 fingers"
After Sukuna went to sleep, Yuji chose to eat all 20 fingers and die after consuming all of Sukuna.
Yuji looked at the finger, grabbing it from Gojo and preparing to eat it.
'Here goes nothing…'
Yuji put the grotesque appendage in his mouth, almost vomiting from the taste, a mix of rotting flesh, spoiled milk, and anchovies, before resigning himself to his fate and swallowing, which Yuji almost immediately regretted.
The finger got caught in his esophagus, making Yuji choke as he desperately tried to swallow it down, his eyes watering profusely as he gasped for breath, hands clutching at his neck in an attempt to dislodge the appendage.
"*COUGH* *COUGH* Gojo, t-the finger, It's– *COUGH*" Yuji rasped, his voice hoarse and strained, the words tumbling out in fragmented bursts as he continued to choke, his face turning a concerning shade of red from the lack of oxygen.
Gojo watched on, using the enhanced sight granted by the six eyes to see the finger finally exit Yuji's throat and make it's way into–
'It's going into his lungs?? Damn, that's crazy.' he thought, preparing to intervene but stopping himself once he saw the finger finally realise it was being consumed and began to assimilate into his body.
Yuji coughed a few more times, retching up flecks of blood that speckled the floor in crimson droplets, because Sukuna's nails are sharp.
After finally calming down, Yuji stuck his tongue out and spoke in a disgusted tone.
"Ew! That was so gross, I'm never doing that again!"
Gojo laughed, telling him "Ah, but you will! Otherwise you'll be executed, remember?"
Sighing dramatically, Yuji laid back in his chair, still tied up, and muttered.
"Just kill me already…"
Gojo went to laugh again before a malevolent aura exploded from Yuji's body, filling the room with the unmistakable presence of the King of Curses.
"How annoying…"
— — —
Sukuna woke up groggily, feeling something pulling at his soul before being jolted fully awake by a flood of power entering him.
"Didn't I tell Gojo not to bother disturbing me? Waking someone up is pretty rude, especially when they just fell asleep."
Sukuna pushed against Yuji, vying for control.
In the original timeline, Kenjaku sealed one of Ryomen Sukuna's fingers inside of Yuji Itadori when he was a child. This made his body suited to be the vessel of Ryomen Sukuna.
Combined with Yuji being the son of Sukuna's reincarnated twin, Yuji Itadori became capable of almost completely suppressing Sukuna's Soul.
However, in this timeline, it was not Sukuna's soul inside of Yuji's body.
Opening his four eyes, Sukuna spoke with overwhelming disdain as he glared at Gojo.
"How annoying…"
Gojo tensed as black markings began to form across Yuji's body, the King of Curses speaking once more.
"You have a severe lack of manners, Gojo. It is quite rude to disturb one from their slumber, especially when they tell you not to bother them.:"
Gojo remained tense, but didn't move, betting that Yuji would be able to take back control.
""If your parents didn't teach you manners… I suppose that I have to…"
Sukuna gathered cursed energy in his arm, activating Domain Amplification over it to break through Gojo's Infinity before lunging at him.
Sukuna pulled back his arm, channeling more cursed energy into it before using the momentum from the lunge to backhand Gojo.
The back of his hand hitched on Gojo's Infinity for a fraction of a second before shattering it, colliding with Gojo's face and sending him crashing through the wall behind him.
Sukuna put his hands in the pockets of Yuji's jacket, posing up before he saw a red light begin to emanate from the hole in the wall created by Gojo.
Even with four eyes, Ryomen Sukuna would never see…
The black markings faded as Gojo released Red, forcing the sorcerer to teleport in front of Yuji to block the attack meant for Sukuna
… the consequences of his own actions!
Yuji immediately fell backwards when he opened his eyes, before realising the attack had been dissipated by Gojo's Infinity.
"Ah! Sorry Gojo, I really thought I could suppress him!"
Gojo bent down, patting Yuji on the head.
"Don't worry, it was just a slap, it basically did nothing!" Gojo laughed, his happy attitude seemingly unaffected, though the red mark on his cheek told a different story.
Even though Gojo was trying to act nonchalant and unbothered, internally he was furious!
'Man… getting outplayed by Sukuna this many times… it really gets on my nerves' He thought.
"Oh. Alright then!"
It appeared Yuji had fallen for Gojo's act, none the wiser to his bruised ego.
"Anyways! You'll be attending Jujutsu High!"
"But I'm already enrolled in school?"
"Not anymore! While you were asleep, I went ahead and unenrolled you from your previous school! So now, you're at Jujutsu High!" Gojo cheerily exclaimed.
Yuji looked surprised.
"Huh!? But how did you–"
"By the way, I'm now your legal guardian."
Yuji went to say something, but stopped, momentarily speechless as he processed the information.
Gojo stared at him, not saying anything.
Yuji stared back.
After a few more seconds of staring, Yuji realised that Gojo was completely serious.
"WHAT!?"
