Jujutsu Kaisen: My spells have no limit

At the hospital entrance.

Yuji Itadori, who skipped class to play pachinko all afternoon, brought his spoils to visit his seriously ill grandfather, Yasuke Itadori, who was hospitalized.

They ran right into Lin Yi and Gojo Tanzaburo, who were waiting outside the hospital.

Skipping over the formalities of self-introduction, Lin Yi directly gained the initial trust of the naturally naive Yuuji Itadori using his police ID and prepared reasons.

"Huh? My mother is still alive? Officer Ichiro, you've really given me a big shock."

"Shouldn't this be a surprise, Itadori-kun?"

"Well, I also thought it should be a surprise, but as far back as I can remember, I've always lived with my grandfather. He told me that my parents had passed away, so Officer Ichiro, it really startled me when you told me that my mother was still alive."

Lin Yi sized up Itadori Yuujin in front of him. The other party was obviously not a kid who was good at hiding his feelings. Even though Lin Yi had presented evidence that could convince Itadori Yuujin, he did not seem to care much about the expression on his mother's face, that is, the thousand-year-old sorcerer, Rōsō.

Their conversation sounded as if they were discussing a complete stranger.

"Anyway, regarding your mother's whereabouts, I think it would be best to inform Mr. Itadori Yamasuke. Would it be convenient for you to take us to see Mr. Itadori Yamasuke, Hisahito?"

"Oh, sure, please follow me."

Yujin Itadori was quite straightforward. He didn't question Lin Yi and Danzaburo Gojo's identities and led them into the hospital. They took the elevator to the floor where his grandfather, Yasuke Itadori, was located. Yujin Itadori stopped at the door of the ward.

"Um, Officer Ichiro, could I go in and talk to Grandpa first?"

"no problem."

At the door of the ward, Lin Yi and Gojo Danzaburo stopped, while Itadori Yujin pushed the door open and entered. Soon after, his grandfather Itadori Yasuke's strong voice came from inside.

"Why are you suddenly talking to me about your parents? Yuzhang, your parents are dead! This is a fact I witnessed with my own eyes! That woman is not your mother. She only gave birth to you, but never treated you as her own child! Stop being curious about your mother's past!"

You just go to school and participate in club activities, don't go to pachinko parlors, and don't keep coming to visit this old man who's about to die!

Itadori Yasusuke's roaring voice echoed in the corridor, and the patrolling nurses were used to the occasionally irritable old man.

What they were more curious about were Hayashi Ichiro and Gojo Tanzaburo, who were standing guard at the entrance of Itadori Yasusuke's house.

Lin Yi didn't care about the way the nurses were looking at him. Hearing Itadori Yasuke's roar coming from the ward, he had to admit that the old man was very insightful.

Yamasuke Itadori is the grandfather of Yuuji Itadori, the protagonist of the Jujutsu Kaisen main storyline.

An old man suffering from an incurable disease, with only one year left to live, an ordinary old man.

Of course, Itadori Yasuke, the protagonist's grandfather, also has his own story.

The soul of Yasuke Itadori is actually the reincarnation of Ryomen Sukuna, the king of curse masters from a thousand years ago.

The reason why Ryomen Sukuna was born with a deformed appearance of four arms and two mouths is because, in order to survive in the womb, he ate the flesh and blood of his brother. The two combined to give birth to Ryomen Sukuna, a supermodel monster who dominated the world a thousand years ago and occasionally stirred up dark turmoil in the Heian period.

Therefore, in terms of seniority, Itadori Yujin should address Ryomen Sukuna as "Grandpa," which is why Itadori Yujin can serve as the perfect vessel to imprison Sukuna's soul.

Because the two are closely related by blood.

Lin Yi only learned about these plot points after watching the entire Jujutsu Kaisen manga up to the end. It can only be said that jjxx has put in quite a few patches to make his Sukuna father's departure seem reasonable.

Just as Lin Yi was thinking about the information related to Itadori Yuujin and Ryoumen Sukuna, Itadori Yuujin also peeked out from the door of the ward.

"Officer Ichiro, Grandpa would like to have a talk with you."

"Okay, coming right away."

As soon as Lin entered the door, Hisahito Itadori was also kicked out by his grandfather.

In his private hospital room, Itadori Yasuke lay on his bed, sizing up the stranger who had suddenly intruded into his grandson's peaceful life.

He was clearly an old man nearing the end of his life, but his eyes seemed to see right through Lin.

Lin Yi had just sat down when Itadori Yasuke spoke.

"You are not a police officer, Mr. Hayashi Ichiro."

"You could even see that, Mr. Itadori Yasusuke."

Lin Yi didn't explain. Lying to an elderly person who was terminally ill would be too much of a test of his conscience.

"I'm just dying, not losing my mind. You have the same scent as Kaori."

Kaori? Is that the name Rōsō used when she was Tiger's mother? It seems that when Rōsō possessed Tiger's mother's body, she was also a sorcerer whose magic involved manipulating gravity?

The words of Itadori Yamasuke made Lin Yi go through the information about Rōsō in his mind, and when he looked at Itadori Yamasuke again, he went straight to the point.

"Pretty much. I am a sorcerer, and Yuujin's mother is also a sorcerer."

"Don't bother telling this old man things I don't understand. Just tell me straight: why did you go after Itadori? Is it because of Kaori? That woman really is impossible to kill."

"Mr. Yabusuke is quite direct in his conversations. Yes, that's why I'm looking for Hisahito. I can't reveal the specific reason, but I can assure Mr. Yabusuke that I'm here for Hisahito's safety."

"I think you, Mr. Yamasuke, can also see that Hisahito is special."

"So, what do you want to know?"

"The story of Hisahito's birth, that is, how Hisahito's mother, Kaori Itadori, entered your lives."

"It's just an old, tired story."

After hearing Lin Yi explain his purpose, Itadori Yamasuke muttered a complaint and began talking to himself.

Lin Yi also connected the timeline based on Itadori Yasusuke's narration.

First, there's the story of the Itadori Yamasuke family, where three generations of the family had only one son: Itadori Yamasuke, Itadori Jin, and Itadori Hisahito.

At first, Itadori Yasuke and his son Itadori Jin lived an ordinary life in Miyazaki Prefecture until Itadori Jin met a woman named Kaori. They were married for several years but had no children.

At this time, Kaori Itadori had not been possessed by Rōsō. She was just a sorcerer like Lin Yi, who was not registered in the sorcery world and was active among the common people. Her strength was probably not that great, but her spells were very powerful. She could manipulate gravity, which was why Rōsō had her eye on her.

He was later killed in an accident arranged by Tosaku, suffering a severe head injury. From Itadori Yasuke's perspective at the time, he was dead beyond any doubt, the kind of person who could be taken directly to the morgue for his funeral.

Then, Rōsō appears, possesses a body, is reborn, and reappears before Itadori Yabusuke and his son with a head scar.

Itadori Jin was naturally overjoyed. His lover's resurrection made him ignore the facts he had seen before, and she even successfully conceived and gave birth to Itadori Hisahito, his only son.

But Itadori Yasuke knew that his daughter-in-law was dead, and the person living with his son was definitely not Itadori Kaori.

However, Ryosuke did not show any abnormality as a sorcerer in his interactions with the Itadori family. Even if Itadori Yasuke knew the truth, he could not possibly turn a blind eye to his son Itadori Jin's infatuation and the birth of his grandson Itadori Yujin.

The family lived in this strange way for a while until Tōsō confirmed that her son, Itadori Hisahito, was the perfect vessel to imprison Sukuna. She then used an accident to send her husband, Itadori Hisahito, away and escaped through death, where she remains to this day.

Therefore, in addition to his own brain-swapping technique and the gravity technique of Itadori Yuuhito's mother, the current Rōzō also retains at least one sorcerer technique from before he possessed Itadori's mother.

Sure enough, spoiling the plot in advance doesn't mean you have all the initiative, but that's part of the fun.

"That's all this old man knows. That woman has never treated Hisahito as her son, and I don't want Hisahito to get involved with her. Can you promise me that, Mr. Ichiro?"

"I'm afraid that won't work, Mr. Yasuyuki. You've said so much, but you know in your heart that Hisahito's birth was for a purpose. As long as Hisahito's mother is alive, this purpose will definitely come for Hisahito. All I can do is protect Hisahito as much as possible and give him the same power as me to protect himself."

Lin Yi's thoughts were interrupted by Itadori Yamasuke.

When faced with Itadori Yasusuke's gaze, Hayashi responded without mincing words.

"I see. Then let me talk to Hisahito for a bit, Mr. Ichiro."

"Of course, there are some things that Hisahito should know as well."

Itadori Yamasuke did not insist that Lin Yi make any guarantees, and after receiving Lin Yi's answer, Itadori Yamasuke said no more.

Lin Yi also left the ward, leaving the rest of the time to the grandfather and grandson.
