Not just Yaga Masamichi, Yuki Tsukumo was also utterly astonished upon hearing the news from Satoru Gojo.
She hadn't expected that the cursed object Satoru Gojo rushed to handle earlier was actually the finger of the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna, and that the cursed object was even swallowed by a high school student, causing Ryomen Sukuna's soul to revive in him.
Such a matter was indeed a major event capable of shocking the entire Jujutsu World.
However, after her initial surprise, Yuki Tsukumo was not as agitated as Yaga Masamichi.
Although Ryomen Sukuna was the King of Curses from a thousand years ago, if he truly revived in this era, it was hard to say how much of his peak strength he would retain, not to mention that there was also a "strongest" existing in this era.
Yuki Tsukumo felt that with Satoru Gojo's unfathomable strength, even if he faced the King of Curses in his full power, he might not lose.
"Now, now, don't be so agitated."
Satoru Gojo took a step back, creating some distance from Yaga Masamichi, then said in a relaxed tone,
"Didn't I say? I've got the situation under control—no problem."
"How can I not be agitated when something like this happens!"
Yaga Masamichi roared angrily, then fell silent for a moment before asking Satoru Gojo in a deep voice,
"This is entirely your responsibility. How do you plan to handle it?"
"Well—I haven't thought about it yet."
Satoru Gojo replied thoughtfully, then said
, "However, the high school student who swallowed Sukuna's finger has already been brought back by me. Speaking of which, he's a very interesting kid. He can easily suppress Sukuna's revived soul. I want to keep him and observe him."
"Suppress Ryomen Sukuna's soul? Are you sure?!"
Yaga Masamichi asked in surprise upon hearing Satoru Gojo's words, then said in a deep voice,
"If that's truly the case, then there might be something special about the kid who swallowed Sukuna's finger; however, this matter concerns Ryomen Sukuna, and those guys definitely won't agree with your idea. They might even demand that you immediately execute the kid who swallowed the finger."
"Hmph, I don't care if they die."
Satoru Gojo, upon hearing Yaga Masamichi's words, scoffed dismissively, then crossed his arms and declared loudly,
"I've decided.
I'm going to keep that kid and, while I'm at it, test if he can swallow more of Sukuna's fingers, and—"
Satoru Gojo stopped midway through his sentence, as if he had thought of something, and then a brilliant light suddenly flickered in his deep blue eyes, full of eagerness.
"And what?"
Yaga Masamichi looked at Satoru Gojo's eager expression and had a feeling he wasn't thinking of anything good.
"Nothing."
The light in Satoru Gojo's eyes subsided, and then he waved his hand and said,
"I was thinking, if that kid can continue to suppress Sukuna's soul after swallowing more of Sukuna's fingers, then perhaps it's our chance to completely deal with the remaining fingers of Sukuna. Such a reason should be able to convince those guys, right?"
The "those guys" they referred to were naturally the higher-ups of the Jujutsu World.
Although those people weren't particularly strong, sometimes, even Satoru Gojo couldn't completely ignore their opinions.
Of course, if Satoru Gojo truly decided to do something, he would just ignore them.
"Of course not!"
Yaga Masamichi finished listening to Satoru Gojo's words, shook his head without hesitation, and then added,
"If it were anyone else, it definitely wouldn't work, but for you, what those guys decide doesn't matter."
"But are you really sure you want to do this?"
Yaga Masamichi stared at Satoru Gojo with a serious expression, asking in a deep voice,
"That's Ryomen Sukuna, the King of Curses from a thousand years ago. If he were to truly revive in this era by accident, the consequences—"
"It's fine."
Satoru Gojo directly interrupted Yaga Masamichi's words, then smiled and gave him a thumbs-up, confidently saying,
"Don't worry, even if Ryomen Sukuna truly revives, I will handle him perfectly. Don't forget, I am the strongest!"
"…Alright."
Yaga Masamichi heard Satoru Gojo's confident declaration, and a smile also appeared at the corner of his mouth. Then he said,
"Since you've made your decision, I can only support it. Goodness, now we're going to have two 'problem children' here all of a sudden."
Originally, just Naruto with his Heavenly Restriction already gave Yaga Masamichi a huge headache, and now, adding a youth who swallowed the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna's finger and still maintained his self, the pressure instantly mounted.
However, this situation also made Yaga Masamichi unconsciously recall that pair of spirited partners from more than ten years ago.
'I hope these two won't become like the former Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto.' Yaga Masamichi sighed silently in his heart.
"Oh, that's right!~"
At this moment, Satoru Gojo suddenly remembered something, then looked at Yaga Masamichi and asked with a playful expression, "How was Naruto's assessment? Did he pass?"
Yaga Masamichi saw Satoru Gojo's expression, and his face couldn't help but darken. Then he said angrily, "Does that even need to be said? Of course he passed. But speaking of that, wait a moment—"
Yaga Masamichi turned around, took a document from the drawer of his desk, pulled out a piece of paper from it, and handed it to Satoru Gojo, saying,
"This is the Jujutsu Sorcerer grading that Yuki Tsukumo and I jointly recommended for Naruto. You can sign it too."
"Grading recommendation?"
Satoru Gojo took the recommendation letter from Yaga Masamichi's hand, glanced at the recommended grade on it, and immediately laughed,
"Haha, Special Grade indeed—I knew it."
After laughing, he directly signed his name on the recommendation letter.
"Speaking of which."
After signing his name on the recommendation letter, Satoru Gojo returned it to Yaga Masamichi, then smiled and said,
"The kid who swallowed Sukuna's finger today is named Itadori Yuji. His name is quite similar to Naruto's—"
As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Yuki Tsukumo and asked curiously,
"Speaking of which, Yuki Tsukumo, why does Naruto's file only have a given name and no surname?"
"Itadori Yuji!"
Yuki Tsukumo heard Naruto mentioned by Satoru Gojo, and her palms couldn't help but clench slightly. She answered casually,
"Naruto is an orphan and doesn't know his surname. My surname doesn't quite match him, so it has always been left blank."
"I see."
Satoru Gojo heard Yuki Tsukumo's answer, raised his hand and rubbed his chin in thought for a moment, then smiled and said,
"How about Naruto taking my surname? I don't plan to get married, and I probably won't have children in the future. Coincidentally, the new generation of the Gojo Family doesn't have any outstanding juniors. If Naruto takes my surname, with his talent, even cultivating him as the next heir of the Gojo Family should be absolutely no problem."
