Chapter 11

A day later…

"So… this is another test?" Yuuji asked.

He was sent to a location with one of the support members of the jujutsu council. He was armed with a clipboard and pen and insisted that Yuuji demonstrate his abilities. "We are just making sure you have earn this promotion to special grade sorcerer… or curse, I don't know which one yet…" he muttered in a stuffy tone. He appeared disinterested in him to say the least, but Yuuji also didn't sense a lot of curse energy coming off of him either.

"So… do you know a lot about me?"

"You are considered the demon vessel of Sukuna correct?" he asked in a bland tone.

"I was… until he was defeated," he said gently. "I'm just Yuuji now!" he said proudly.

"Quite frankly, I don't care. I am just here to observe. You are to take down a special grade curse on your own, can you?" he asked once more in a rather uninterested tone.

Yuuji smiled and gave him the thumbs up. "Watch me!"

They were walking and abandoned alleyway in the warehouse district, Yuuji was taking everything in as his guide was explaining the situation. The special grade curse spirit was making 'accidents' happen in the area. "So far it has managed to kill 10 people that have been written off as industrial accidents…"

"Shh" Yuuji said.

The man paused. Yuuji however, felt his senses go into overdrive. It was here, it was watching them and waiting to make a move. He could smell the sweet scent of dark energy, he licked his lips at the thought of it. 'Ooo, guess I am craving this again…' he thought.

"Mr. Itadori, I do not have all…" Yuuji turned; he grabbed the man and wrenched him away as the curse phased out of the wall! With a single punch, he landed a divergent fist attack, splattering the head instantly as the body slumped out of the wall. From there, he licked his lips and ate. The taste was still the same, a little savory with a hint of bitterness from the curse blood. But he ate it nonetheless!

When finished, Yuuji turned and saw the man was white as a ghost. "Oh right… I eat them from time to time!" he laughed and scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "In fact this is the first one I've eaten since my battle with Sukuna!"

He didn't say anything after that, the associate went dead quite and refused to utter another word. "So… I think we're done here…" he paused and smelt the air, he didn't sense anything either. "Yeah, that was it, we're done!" he said proudly.

"He proceeded… to eat it,"

The elders were silent as the report came back, yet he was white as a sheet. Their top observer, normally not bothered by anything, cold to everyone around him and has never broken a sweat… was pale. He explained what he witnessed accompanying Yuuji Itadori, but couldn't shake the notion that a mere kid, devoured a special grade curse like it was a snack. "There was no hesitation… he knocked its head off with a single strike, then… he ate the corpse of the curse… like it was nothing. The thing had to be three times his own size and yet… it all vanished into him!"

The elders were silent at first, but then they gave a nod and dismissed the observer.

When he left, the talks began.

"We cannot allow this to go on…"

"He is a danger to us all, I fear he is in possession of Sukuna's power, when will he turn it against us?"

"He cannot be trusted! A child, a mere child has more strength than this room put together!"

"He as more strength than the whole Jujutsu committee," said another.

They fell into silence until the oldest one stated. "Then the matter is settled, until we find a way of destroying him… we can merely seal him away,"

The room agreed. "What about Gojo?"

"Yes, I need to take that into factor, the only thing we can do is make fake seals of Yuuji Itadori, we can take his possessions and place them into a similar box that appears to be a sealing box, but in fact it will only contain items that share his energy…"

"That's one way, but still, he will fight to find him,"

"Then we do this quickly. We are going to send Gojo and Itadori out on separate assignments, make sure only one of them returns…"

The room was in agreement.

They used their other attendants to gather up some of Itadori's clothing, then they placed that into a containment box that appears like a curse sealing box. They made three of them to be certain, and the final one was a sealing space that could hold a special grade curse.

"Send word for tomorrow about the assignments. Make certain they are miles apart so there is no interfering." The oldest elder stated.
