The wind flew gently over the terrain covered with wild grass. Several flocks of birds flew by the orange tinted sky as the strongest sorcerer stood beneath them.

"So Nobara, how do you think about this gift?"

Gojo Satoru asked as he held his phone onto his ear. He watched the sun slowly setting down the horizon as he waited for the girl from the other side to speak.

Kugisaki Nobara, the first year from Tokyo jujutsu high, stood on terrace of one of the commercial building as she spoke nervously,

"....Gojo Sensei, is this a joke?"

She asked as she looked at the small box in her hand. The ominous aura surrounding the box made her question her Sensei's thinking.

"I'm serious about this gift. You're the most suited for it."

Gojo said in a casual tone, unlike his usual playful tone.

{Are you trying to hide this finger with me so that Itadori's execution will halt indefinitely?}

Nobara spoke as she tried to connect the dots. The small box had a finger sealed inside it, belonging to famous Ryomen Sukuna, the King of curses feared by all. The one who was also the reason Itadori, her friend, suffered.

Gojo smiled as she spoke, he was proud of Nobara. She was street smart and capable enough for the unofficial mission he was giving her. To her question, he parted his lips as he spoke,

"Yup, that's the plan."

{...why? Does this have something to do with the curses barging in the Goodwill event?}

"You can say so. Don't tell this to anyone, but six of sukuna's finger which were in school's possession were stolen by them."

{What?!! All of six of them?!}

"Yeah. They also took special grade curse wombs 1-3. The ones you and Yuji fought were probably 2 & 3."

{...so there's still one of them left?}

Nobara asked as her voice grew slightly heavy. The memory of killing flesh with Itadori was still fresh in her mind. It was not that she felt any remorse for them, they were the one who started with killing intent anyway. What hurt her was the expression her friend held at that time. It was just too much to see Itadori going all quiet, which was unlike his usual playful behaviour. If one of them still remains then she couldn't bear to imagine the pain her friend would feel.

Gojo heard her from the other side and he wondered what made her voice sound heavy. She wasn't the type to get shaken by killing a person. So perhaps she was worrying about Yuji.

That was the conclusion he came to as a small, sad yet satisfied smile curled his lips upwards.

"Yeah. That one is probably working with the curses who stole fingers. I've got a bad feeling about them though. With the way they are acting, I can say one thing for certain. They are trying to involve Sukuna in something. Whether it's his powers or him himself, they want Sukuna to do something."

{If your guess is correct then I bet they're nuts. No way in hell Sukuna will ever help anyone. And whoever provokes him would probably will be killed.}

"Well that's true. But we can't ignore the possibility of Sukuna gaining control of Yuji's body. Whether he helps anyone or not, he will hurt everyone else around him."
