I saw those tears forming, I'm joking.

Yuta hadn't gone to meet the higher-ups unprepared.
He had prepared not only for a betrayal from the elders but also to circumvent the situation if they demanded exaggerated terms in the binding vote.
But he could never have foreseen an attack on the elders.
Gojo, being the strongest, was the only one who could launch a direct attack on the elders without fear of retaliation.
In terms of power, the elders were not that powerful, fitting at most to the limit of the first grade.
But in terms of experience, they could comfortably sit at the top. Of course, experience without raw power was useless to stop someone like Satoru Gojo, but it served to deal with most problems.
Once, Gojo had told Yuta that the elders were feared not only for their political power but also for their strange techniques.
They should be cunning enough to at least pose a risk to Yuta.
That's why he was so surprised by someone deliberately attacking them.
"You were the ones who wanted my head, weren't you?" And seeing a man with pink hair land firmly in front of him, Yuta was quick to draw his sword, his eyes narrowing as he seemed cautious. "Then come and get it."
Itadori stood imposingly, his cursed energy dancing around his body in an aura that tensed the elders.
"What is this? How dare you!" One of the elders gritted his teeth at the provocation, his own cursed energy spreading through his body, but paling in comparison to the boy's. "Who the hell do you think you are to come here so hostilely!"
But stepping forward, an elder with narrow eyes advanced, his hands hidden in the sleeves of his kimono as he maintained a nonchalant aura. "So the vessel of Sukuna decided to come straight here, how brave."
Yuta widened his eyes, turning to see Itadori in surprise. 'So this is the professor's disciple? Did he come here alone?'
Itadori was not intimidated when the elder stepped forward, his eyes wandering over everyone in the room before landing on Yuta, his eyes shining with questioning. 'Looks like I arrived just in time... I hope I wasn't late.'
"I heard you decided to revoke my sentence, so I came here with the intention of settling this once and for all." Itadori seemed confident in his words, a trait that irritated most of the elders, who sent him venomous looks. Clearly, none of them seemed to like the boy, much less what was inside him.
And the elder with narrow eyes, looking more controlled than his peers, just flashed a satisfied smile, seeming to understand the situation differently. "Oh, I see. So you came to accept your sentence?"
"..." Itadori blinked in confusion, not understanding how the elder had come to that conclusion. "No, obviously not."
!
But opening his eyes in surprise when a powerful pressure came from the elder in front of him, Itadori narrowed his eyes, noticing how the old man's cursed energy seemed greater than the other elders'.
"I'm sorry, but I don't see how this situation can be resolved any differently." The elder said imposingly, his cursed energy overflowing from his body in a demonstration of his high reserves. "Itadori Yuji, you have only two choices...
You accept your execution, with the right to preparations for having surrendered, or you will be killed here like a damned dog."
"..."
And seeming to ponder the options at his disposal, Itadori remained silent for a moment.
And with a smile forming on his lips, he did not seem at all intimidated by the power demonstrated by the elder.
"I think I'll create a third option..." And letting the energy dance around his hand, he said confidently. "I'll kill the Jujutsu higher-ups."
Boom!
Flying when a blast of cursed energy hit him squarely, Itadori landed firmly on the ground, his eyes narrowing as he noticed the elder with narrow eyes pointing his palms at him.
'So he's the cannon type.' Itadori noted, dodging when a jet of cursed energy threatened to hit him. 'It's similar to the cursed womb.'
And blocking a jet of energy with his own forearm, he smiled mockingly. 'It's nothing special.'
"Insolent!" One of the elders, the one with a strange pompadour, stepped forward, his eyes landing on a still-surprised Yuta Okkotsu. "Yuta Okkotsu! As the official executor of Itadori Yuji, I order you to kill him immediately!"
But seeing Yuta turn to him with a questioning look, the elder felt a vein bulge on his forehead. "What the hell are you waiting for?!"
Yuta pressed his lips together upon receiving that order, his grip on the hilt of his sword tightening as he let the cursed energy dance around his blade.
This was definitely not what Yuta had expected to happen. Facing the higher-ups was far from his expectations.
But if it had already come to this point, he would not cower.
Confident in himself, he would follow the last request of his teacher before being sealed.
He would protect Itadori Yuji.
!
Widening his eyes when Yuta lunged at him, the elder opened his mouth in disbelief when he felt the sorcerer's blade pierce his chest, terror filling his expression as he felt his strength ebb away.
"You didn't make the binding vote, did you?"
The other elders gritted their teeth in fury at the sorcerer's attack, their eyes shining with a murderous intent directed entirely at the boy.
"So I can do whatever I want." Pulling the blade out in one go, Yuta watched the elder's body slump to the ground, blood pouring from his chest. "And I choose to ally with my master's disciple."
"Heresy! How dare you go against the elders?"
!
Jumping back when a cursed energy arrow landed in front of him, Yuta noticed an elder with a bow made of pure cursed energy in his hands. "You will pay with your lives for this insolence!"
But Yuta was not intimidated, and raising his sword, he let the cursed energy from his body spread in an oppressive aura.
He didn't bother to respond to any of the elders' words.
Boom!
Jumping back when another blast of cursed energy hit in front of him, Itadori narrowed his eyes when he noticed movement in the smoke rising from the explosion, skillfully blocking a fist aimed at his face.
'I can see...' And retreating while blocking the narrow-eyed elder's attacks, Itadori smiled confidently. 'He has a lot of cursed energy, so he doesn't worry about spending it on concentrated cursed energy... It's like he's a power cannon.'
Hitting the boy's face with a cursed energy-charged punch, the elder was surprised when he noticed the sorcerer's hand gripping his fist.
'But as I said before, he's like a cursed womb.'
Punching the elder's stomach, Itadori made him vomit blood all at once, the old sorcerer choking as he staggered back.
'But that's only if we take cursed energy into account because in a fair comparison...'
Raising his head with wide eyes, the elder barely reacted when a fist hit his face, his head being smashed into the concrete in a clean, precise attack.
'This guy is much inferior.'
Shaking his hand to get rid of the blood, Itadori watched Yuta facing three elders in direct confrontation while one attacked from a distance with cursed energy arrows.
'Looks like he didn't make the binding vote.' And smiling with satisfaction, Itadori took a step forward. 'That's great.'
