Merged Sukuita Shibuya AU//
Somehow despite all odds, Yuuji was able to get to Shibuya before Kenjaku opened prison realm. It slinks through the crowd wearing Geto's skin, and Gojo falters as he paralyzed by the impossibility in front of him. His six eyes are so busy unraveling

what he's seeing that he barely registers the cube hitting the ground in front of him. His infinity instinctually deactivates as a pair of familiar arms wrap around him and throw him out of the way
Prison Realm Open
As he gets his bearings and picks himself off of the subway tile

Yuuji's been forced to his knees by thick bands of cursed flesh. The not Geto looks horrified that his trap has snagged the wrong prey, but Yuuji is grinning. Amber eyes focused on his senpai.
"I trust you, Gojo-senpai. I'll see you in a little while."
And with a snap of tissue

and stone Yuuji's gone. Sealed.
Gojo unleashes Hollow purple before the box has even fallen halfway to the floor. The fake Geto now reduced to a smear on the floor and his companions scattering. Gojo turns to see the box wedged into the concrete floor by an unseen force.

As he goes to pick it up arcs of black and red cursed bite at his fingertips, but they don't really register. It takes a moment but his six eyes are finally able to find Yuuji's signature. Faint but steady cocooned within prison realm alongside Sukuna. He's sealed, but unharmed.

Ok, good. He can focus on dealing with the threat, and get Yuuji out when things are safe. And for one of the few times in his life, Gojo is nothing but focused. There’s no toying with any of the enemies in Shibuya. Patch face, volcano head, and all the little curse users who

dared to slink out of the shadows are dispatched with brutal efficiency. There will be no one left to interrogate.

When Nanami and the other students arrive on scene, they find Gojo sitting on the steps gripping a cube studded with crimson and amber eyes. Megumi and Nobara feel

dread curling in their stomachs as Gojo relays the events that have transpired on their way back to Jujutsu tech. Half-way through Nanami removes his glasses and begins rubbing at his eyes as the gravity of Yuuji’s circumstances becomes clear. Gojo can’t break the seal himself,

the one who placed it is dead, and they need authorization in order to access Tengen.

Authorization they will never get from the higher-ups who will undoubtedly be ecstatic over the potential permanent sealing of Sukuna’s vessel.
(TBC)

also for "reasons" Gojo somehow doesn't find/kill Choso during his Shibuya cleanup
🤷

There's already a crater in the boardroom wall when Yaga finally enters alongside Shoko. He'd felt the shockwaves from the other side of campus, and he wishes he could say he's surprised Gojo's the cause. The young sorcerer's blindfold has been ripped away so he can stare down

the assembled higherups.
“I don’t care what you’re opinion on him is. Either give me the authorization for the tomb of the Star or prepare to join the curse users who crossed my path tonight."
The boardroom's air is deathly still but his snowy hair ripples upward. Gakuganji is

the first to speak. His wizened face unmoved.
“And you still won’t see Tengen. So obviously we’re at an impasse aren’t we Gojo-kun"
Gojo grits his teeth as he looks to Yaga for some sort of assistance, but he only shakes his head. Nanami had filled him in on the thankfully minor

destruction that had occurred in Shibuya, but it's quickly becoming clear to him the fallout could be infinitely worse. He'd had some suspicion of how important Sukuna's vessel was to Satoru but it'd been years since he'd seen this amount of rage rolling off his former pupil

And this is the first time he'd felt worried it would be directed solely towards jujutsu society.
"Satoru, be reasonable about this..."
"I'm the only one being reasonable, here! I got distracted and my student put himself in harm's way for me. You should be throwing yourself at

his feet in gratitude, but instead you're sitting there trying to convince me it's best to leave him in a box to rot!"
Gojo jabs a finger at Yaga, purple veins of lightning branching from the tip to his knuckles.
One of the palsy ridden old women makes the mistake of piping up

"We would have thought you'd be overjoyed at no longer having to carry out the execution of Sukuna's vessel. "
There's a shudder as everyone feels the gravity in the room shift finding its new center around the snowy haired man clutching the amber-eyed box
"You bitch..." he spits

Shoko prepares for all the limbs she's going to have to try to reattach when Nanami calmly slips into the room. Bringing with him an overwhelmingly malicious and familiar presence.
"The clean-up efforts uncovered something amongst one of the cursed spirits remains." No one needs

to be told what.
"We recovered eleven of Sukuna's fingers. It's likely they were going to attempt to force-feed them to Itadori and potentially unleash Sukuna on Tokyo."
Gojo wishes he could kill all of the curse users again. If that was their goal he definitely didn't make it

hurt enough the first time.
Gakuganji folds his hands onto his lap."It sounds like we narrowly escaped a national crisis then."
"Thanks to Yuuji!!!" Gojo is nearing the point of tearing out his hair. How can age do this much of a number on a brain?

"Now we have 11 unsealed fingers and you idiots want to keep the only capable vessel in a 1000 years sealed!"
"We will manage..." A hoarse voice mutters.
"If you think you can last another millenia without destroying those fingers you deserve the hell you're willing to unleash!"

Megumi and Nobara are left to wait in the dormitories for what feels like hours. Ichiji and the second years do their best to put them at ease, but there’s no rosy way to paint the shockwaves emanating from the administration building Unwilling to pointlessly lose his bestfriend

for the second time and fed up with the wait, Megumi pushes aside Ichji and begins to make his way down the hall when Nanami and Gojo finally arrive.
Neither one looks particularly happy, but the lack of blood spatter on Gojo’s suit hints that there might be some hope.

"We got permission to have Tengen unseal Yuuji... "Nanami starts.
"That's wonderful!" Nobara shouts, standing up in unison with Maki.
"Shake!" Toge gives a little nudge to Megumi who's fists are still balled at his sides. He's staring down Gojo who hasn't met any of their eyes.

"Then why do you look like that." Gojo doesn't answer he just grits his teeth and lets Nanami continue
"He's only to be unsealed in order to ingest the fingers we found. Tengen is to reseal him until we recover the final five."
"They can't do that..." Nobara stomps toward the two

adults. Gojo is visibly shaking. Nanami remains calm, but there's bitter strain accompanying every word.
"They would only give permission if Gojo agreed to a binding vow that he wouldn't oppose the sealing of Itadori."
Megumi looks murderous. He's grown up his whole life with

the understanding that Gojo Satoru is the strongest. If he wanted to do something-no one could ever have a hope to stop him. But now? When it comes to Gojo's supposedly favorite student he's suddenly powerless.
"You damn coward...you're just going to leave him in there. After he

saved you." Megumi marches up to his teacher and pulls him down to eye level by his collar, he doesn't try to hide between infinity.
"If it was you in there he would've done anything to get you out, but you're really just going to let him gather dust in that box with Sukuna ?"

A shadow falls over Gojo's face, and Nobara and the second years fear he's going to lash out at his charge. Instead, he crouches down and clasps Megumi's hands in his
"I swear I'm going to find a way to free him, Fushigoro. Just this once I want you to have faith in sensei, ok?"
