From Kenjaku's perspective, knowing there were issues with the Cursed Spirits, the obvious backup plan was naturally Sukuna.
Thus, Kenjaku used the fact that several fingers were in Mahito's possession and maintained an attitude of not asking for them to lead the Cursed Spirits into believing that liberating Sukuna was no longer the primary plan, but that he was defaulting more focus to sealing Satoru Gojo.
Although Sukuna himself was also a difficult weapon for Kenjaku to wield, if he had to choose a side, he would choose Sukuna. This was because he understood Sukuna well enough to know what he wanted to do, and Sukuna wouldn't interfere with his plans; furthermore, he could use Sukuna's hand to reclaim the Cursed Spirits.
But facing the current Cursed Spirits, Dagon and Hanami went without saying, as their strength wasn't worth overthinking, while Jogo's strength was decent, he was just too easy to read. As for the remaining one, Mahito, both his strength and his thoughts were unpredictable to Kenjaku.
So, Kenjaku utilized the gap before the Shibuya Incident, using his control over The Higher-Ups and the Kamo Family, combined with the intelligence and Cursed Spirits he had on hand, to complete the collection of Sukuna's remaining fingers.
If Satoru Gojo hadn't proposed increasing the missions for The Big Three Families, Kenjaku's collection plan wouldn't have gone so smoothly. After all, previously, The Higher-Ups would have assigned high-level exorcism missions to Satoru Gojo.
Finally, by controlling Cursed Spirits to retrieve Sukuna's Mummified remains, the consolidation of Sukuna's power was complete. The rest was simple: Kenjaku needed someone to approach Itadori in his place and make him swallow those things.
If everything went smoothly and the Cursed Spirits acted obediently as he intended, this person would likely have been either Jogo or Mahito.
They needed a certain level of strength so they wouldn't be defeated by Itadori or fall to other Jujutsu Sorcerers while completing the task. If Dagon or Hanami were to carry it out, there would indeed be some uncertainty.
However, now that the Cursed Spirits were no longer trustworthy, Kenjaku had to find another suitable candidate.
In fact, Kenjaku quickly narrowed down such a candidate. Not only could she avoid most battles before completing the mission due to her identity, but she also had a reason that she definitely wouldn't refuse him.
The result goes without saying; that candidate was Yorozu, who had incarnated into Tsumiki. This coincidence even surprised Kenjaku slightly, could it be that when he chose to have Yorozu incarnate into Tsumiki, he had already anticipated the choice he would make today?
The timing Kenjaku gave Yorozu to strike was also after the Shibuya Curtain fell, as he had already predicted the lead time, especially if a battle broke out between Yorozu and the awakened Sukuna that would cause a delay... Time returned to the present where Yorozu was questioning Sukuna; after all, it was indeed Yorozu's actions that had given him the chance to move freely, so Sukuna intended to listen to what she had to say for the time being.
Sukuna held the unconscious Megumi Fushiguro in one hand and looked at Yorozu, who wore Tsumiki's face, saying, "Then tell me your request."
At the same moment Sukuna spoke, the Chimera Beast that was originally beside Megumi Fushiguro attacked him on its own initiative, but the attack vanished before it could touch Sukuna because its summoner, Megumi Fushiguro, had lost consciousness.
Sukuna didn't even knit his brows at what happened, as if it was all within his expectations and not worth noting.
Feeling Sukuna's gaze, most of Yorozu's anger immediately subsided. Instead, a blush crept onto her cheeks, and she asked Sukuna excitedly.
"Aren't you curious? Today, a thousand years later, when you are isolated and in need of help, why was it I who lent you a hand!"
A trace of helplessness flashed across Sukuna's expression. "Good grief, I'm the one asking the questions. Don't just fire back with counter-questions when you clearly just want to talk about yourself. Besides, I don't need any help at all. If these are your last words, then you can die now."
But Yorozu said proudly to herself, "It's all because of love, Sukuna!"
"..."
This statement from Yorozu didn't provoke much of a reaction from Sukuna; rather, he had basically guessed that Yorozu would say something similarly meaningless.
Ultimately, from the first time Yorozu and Sukuna met a thousand years ago, she had already displayed this trait, spouting love declarations like "I won't let you be alone" or "I won't let you have such lonely eyes."
It wasn't that Sukuna couldn't understand; he understood everything Yorozu said, but he was simply indifferent to it.
Yorozu didn't stop there but continued to pour her heart out to Sukuna.
"Love is incomparable to the hatred born from discipline. I want the one who kills me to be you, and I also want the one who kills you to be me. Even so, I still want to ask, if I win in the end but you're still alive, what will you give me then?"
"..."
Sukuna didn't answer Yorozu immediately but was thinking seriously.
Just now, besides swallowing nine fingers, that brat Itadori seemed to have something related to my own origin that filled my power. Was it my remains or something similar?
Clearly, those things weren't something the person in front of him could obtain with her own strength, so in the end, was it Kenjaku?
Sukuna naturally recognized that the massive Curtain covering Shibuya was Kenjaku's work, and he could also see Kenjaku's shadow behind the Exchange Event incident.
Then Sukuna thought of Mahito, who had acted strangely and even wanted to kill him back then, and was now Kenjaku's partner.
Sukuna finally reached a conclusion: Kenjaku had deliberately arranged for Yorozu to wake him up, clearly hoping to borrow his strength.
At that moment, a massive roar echoed from within the Curtain, accompanied by a noticeable tremor beneath their feet.
With Sukuna's level, he could naturally sense just how exaggerated the battle taking place inside the Curtain was.
Yorozu paid no mind to the commotion and instead questioned Sukuna with some anger.
"Why don't you answer me!"
Sukuna just glanced at Yorozu and replied expressionlessly, "I'll give you everything."
But what Sukuna was truly thinking was that, since the Yorozu he had to kill was using Megumi Fushiguro's sister's body, it would be better to...
