Sukuna's Finger

[A/N: I will try to update this regularly from now on but no promises. ;) ]

During a cold summer night, two people dressed in purple uniform were seen sneaking into a school passing it's ground and walking upto a Stevenson screen at the back corner of the school.

"They are keeping a cursed object in this place? Could they be any more stupid?" Megumi said

"Well most of the upper officials are old so maybe they finally did go senile." Aizen commented.

Megumi broke the lock and opened it's door only to exclaim in shock. He then looked around the top and bottom of the Stevenson screen like an idiot much to Aizen's amusement.

Megumi looked back at Aizen with a displeased expression on his face. And as such Aizen could not help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"It's empty."

"Whoa really??"

Megumi narrowed his eyes and glared at Aizen

"What??"

"Just turn off your illusions already. I am tired of your silly pranks. Besides this is a serious mission. We can't let a special grade cursed object go missing." Megumi said with a sigh.

"Is that how low you think of me? I am not using my cursed technique right now. That cursed object has truly gone missing."

"That is how low I think of you. So turn off your illusions already!"

"Like I said!! The cursed object has truly gone missing!!"

"....For Real?"

"YES!!...Call Gojo sensei and ask him what to do."

Megumi called Gojo

"Hello?~ New Phone. Who dis?~"

"It's me!" Megumi replied in an irritated tone. "There is nothing here"

"Huh?"

"The Stevenson Screen is empty."

"For real? That's hilarious!~ Maybe it took a nighttime stroll."

"I'll punch you."

"Well no coming back until you find it. Bye."

"Wait! Aizen is asking what he should do."

"Oh, tell him to leave for Okinawa in the morning since it will take you some time to find that cursed object. Bye then!!"

*Beep*

Megumi looked towards Aizen and said, "You will go to Okinawa the first thing in the morning. For now, let's look around a bit more and then go to a hotel."

"Alright." Aizen replied

The next morning as planned before, Aizen boarded the train to Okinawa with one of the supervisors Nitta Akari while Megumi continued his search for the lost Cursed Object.

The two of them sat opposite to each other. Nitta took out a tablet and passed it to Aizen, "This is your mission for today."

Aizen looked over the screen and saw their destination, "So we are going to the ruins of the Nakagusuku Hotel."

[A/N: This is a real haunted place in Japan]

"Yes. Recently there have been many reports to the police about hearing strange roars and loud noises from that place. Many adventurous people had decided to go in there for fun but only half of them made it back alive and those who did had lost their minds." Nitta replied

"I will never understand the people who have a taste for visiting haunted places. The Nakagusuku hotel has a fairly long history but I thought we had already dealt with that place."

"Yes we did but that was a few decades ago. We dispatched a team of Jujutsu Sorcerers to take care of the curse back then and they successfully completed their job."

"So over the course of the past 2 decades, a new cursed spirit was formed there."

"Yes. Since the place actually used to be a home to many graveyards and sacred places, the cursed spirit is expected to be at least a first grade.....It is possible that it might be a special grade cursed spirit." Nitta said the last part with a serious expression on her face.

"hehe. A special grade is appearing in an otherwise low populated area. That's hilarious!"

*Bam*

Nitta smashed her palm on the small table in front of her, "This is serious matter Aizen. You never know just how powerful of a special grade may appear there."

"Relax I am a special grade sorcerer for a reason. Now I don't like to brag about myself but I am absolutely extra-ordinary." Aizen said as he leaned back on his seat, ran his hand through his hair and started looking out the window.

'Why do the most powerful sorcerers have the weirdest personality traits.' Nitta thought to herself and gave up on making the young powerhouse before him to take the mission seriously.

The rest of the train ride was filled with silence as Nitta rechecked all of the details of the mission and making sure that she had not overlooked anything whereas Aizen took a nap after scrolling through his phone.

***

Arriving at their destination, both of them couldn't help but think that it could have become one heck of a hotel had it not been for a cursed spirit.

Nitta walked over to the police who had secured the place and did her job as a window and took the jurisdiction of the case from them and made them clear the place for Aizen to go through.

"Go in. I will put up the veil."

She finished her chanting and as she did, the sky above the ruins turned black and the veil was set up which was obviously invisible to the eyes of the public.

***

[Aizen's POV]

As soon as I entered the ruins after Nitta had set up the veil, a real nasty smell plagued my nose making me squeeze it close.

No matter how many grotesque things I see and experience, I will never be able to get used to bad smell.

I encountered a few curses as I made my way up but decided to leave them be as they were only weak 4th grade cursed spirits. I scavenged the entire place which took me about 15 minutes before finally entering a room on the top most floor of this place.

I opened the door and entered the room but as soon as I did I was someplace else.

I stood in the middle of what appeared to be a badly maintained graveyard with most of the tombstones being damaged and wrecked.

'Domain Expansion huh. So the Kyouka Suigetsu will be useless in here. Meaning that I can only rely on my Kido then.'

I walked deeper into the domain when suddenly the ground beneath me started to shake violently, loud cries filled the place as the corpses clawed their way out of the ground beneath the tombstones.

This concluded that the cursed spirit's technique is Necromancy which is the first of it's kind. I have never heard about a necromancy cursed technique though it is theorised by many people that if that does happen the cursed spirit itself will be very weak in one on one combat as the restriction for using the dead.

However depending on who it can summon from the dead the technique can also be considered one of the most powerful. Imagine if someone could just summon the strongest sorcerers from the golden era of Jujutsu. Whoever can do that will simply become one of the strongest people in the history.

One funny thing I noticed is that all of the summoned corpses do not look like zombies nor skeletons in fact they seem to be dressed in the same clothes as they died in since I can see a lot of them wearing the construction uniforms. But that also means that the cursed spirit can only summon the people who had died in this place.

*Whoosh*

I heard the sound of an attack coming towards me and immediately put up my shield.

"Danku"

The shield materialised in front of me and defended me from the attack which after getting a close look at it turned out to be a fast moving ball made out of cement.

Which made me truly shocked. It is one thing if the cursed spirit can summon the dead but to grant them cursed energy and techniques even to those who were ordinary when they died is something entirely different.

'This isn't a normal special grade!'

First, it's domain expansion does not have any boundary but uses the walls around the room. Second, the fact the dead can come back as it's puppets to give it a huge numerical advantage and not to mention even giving them the cursed techniques and cursed energy and to top if off there is a sure hit effect as well. Of course the techniques aren't that powerful but fighting against hundreds of undeads with a cursed technique while in restriction of a domain expansion is not something an ordinary Jujutsu sorcerer is capable of.

Even a first grade sorcerer if they do not know domain expansion or simple domain will be killed off immediately...Unfortunately for him he is dealing with me.

I put my right hand up in the air with my index finger pointing upwards and unleashed my cursed energy creating a huge pressure even inside of the domain.

"Kurohitsugi"

The already dark sky turned even darker as multiple boxes of energy surrounded all of the undead with me in the centre. As the one using this spell I do not receive any damage even if I am inside of it.

After a few seconds I stopped the spell which left all of the undead before me ripped to many pieces. There was no blood or anything of the sort they just lied there on the ground with their limbs spread out here and there.

As the effects of Kurohitsugi to my surroundings vanished I was able to clearly see the actual cursed spirit behind this. Now he looked like a proper skeleton but he looked really weak physically.

Without wasting anymore of my time I ran and punched the skeleton. To my surprise it only flew away without sustaining any major injuries. I again ran towards him and placed my palm on it's ribs.

"Hiryu Gekizoku Shinten Raiho" (Dragon Strike Heaven-Shaking Lightning Cannon)

This was enough to obliterate him completely. This was the number 88 Hado which exorcised him completely.

The domain shattered and the surrounding turned back into an old room filled with cracks on the walls, broken windows and spider webs.

*Thud*

Just when I was about to walk out the room I heard a thud that made me look back on the ground. And there it was a special grade cursed object, Ryoumen Sukuna's finger.

This explained why the special grade had become so powerful. It was a special grade to begin with and then it even consumed Sukuna's finger.

According to the canon, the Jujutsu Tech. had 6 fingers and there was no mention about how they obtained it. So I guess one of them was from here.

Itadori should consume one sometime tonight and Sukuna will be reincarnated into Itadori's body.

I will let the canon play out for now since I don't know much past the first season anyway.
