Hello everybody. This is a little story idea that I had in my head after an acquaintance on the site named ethorthebayleef posted a chapter saying that he would read a few stories with a few friends on a podcast if they were submitted to him. And this is the submission for it.
Once again this is a Ichigoxmulti story, this time with Jujutsu Kaisen and Naruto as the crossovers. I recently started watching the English Dub of Jujutsu Kaisen and I am hooked! It's awesome, it really is. Yuji is definitely my favorite character in the series and he is hilarious or serious at the right moments. And I have a theory that the reason he has superhuman abilities is because he may actually be a descendant of Sukuna himself. Of course like all anime I watch, I don't read the manga or watch any Subs, so it may have already been revealed how he has his freakish strength but I would not know until it's been done so in the Dub. Plus, there are some definite influences from both Bleach and Naruto. The Cursed Spirits are akin to the Hollows of Bleach. The new king of trolling himself, Gojo, has similarities to Kakashi, Kisuke Urahara, and Jiraiya. Yuji is like the best aspects of both Ichigo and Naruto in a single character. Fushiguro is like a modern day Sasuke that's less of a jerk. The classifications of threats and hierarchy of warriors takes points from both series. Even the system of teams of students in Jujutsu Kaisen has influences from Naruto: Three pupils, consisting of two boys and one girl, taught by a single teacher. It's quickly become my new favorite show to watch right after Bleach.
This short fic has some inspiration by Forza Horizon 4, which I have quickly come to enjoy, and features an OC Cursed Spirit that is the brother of Sukuna and Ichigo's his vessel. It might be a little unoriginal but I thought it would work since he already has a Hollowfied Zanpakuto spirit. It also has the same pairing as The Perfect Line.
I will explain the background behind it. No matter who the person is, they will always have a breaking point when they cannot take it anymore. As powerful as he is, Ichigo is only human and certainly possesses this trait. For the entire time he was powerless, his friends basically excluded him from most of their interactions, a lot of which involves hunting Hollows, and no one from the Soul Society ever visited him during that time, which most likely made him feel isolated. Orihime was also afraid of him when he was resurrected as a Vasto Lorde class Hollow on top of Las Noches and completely destroyed Ulquiorra, that would very much alienate Ichigo since it would hurt him emotionally. Combined with the fact his human friends unconsciously betrayed him through way of Tsukishima's Fullbring, he definitely hit his breaking point where he couldn't stand it any longer, and somehow everything just went back to normal after it was all over. It does not work like that, which is why I used that idea as the basis of my fic so I could give you guys this story to enjoy.
On with the show.
'That's it, I'm done being looked at like I'm someone to be pitied or treated as helpless just because I have no Soul Reaper powers! My so-called friends walk on eggshells around me and try not to mention anything regarding Soul Reapers, no one from the Soul Society has ever stopped by just to check up on me and see how I am holding up, hell, the only people that have supported me are Tia, Nel, those five girls I became friends with last year, Kisuke and the residents of his shop, and Yuji! I won't bother trying to deal with anyone else but those who support me.' Ichigo Kurosaki growled inside of his head after he had to experience another session of Chad, Uryu, and Orihime running out of class to deal with Hollows, unhappy and frustrated that his spiritually-aware classmates wouldn't even bother to try talking about the subject of his lost powers and had practically excised him out of their group like a malignant tumor. It was like he was no longer an important aspect of their group, and to add to the issue, his father had begun avoiding him somewhat and his younger sisters tried to be careful with how they acted around him, but it only served to make him depressed. Only his confidantes that hadn't abandoned him in his broken and downtrodden state after he used the Final Getsuga Tensho helped to mend his broken heart. In a way, they had become his pseudo-family and the ones he trusted the most.
"They're frankly not worth it, kid. You and Yuji Itadori may be me and Ryomen's vessels respectively and we may be Cursed Spirits, but there are some things we don't care for in the slightest, and what they are doing disgusts me. By the way, you and Yuji each have multiple races scheduled later with that league you two are in." a voice spoke in his head that was not either of his Zanpakuto spirits. Ichigo acknowledged the reminder and turned his attention back to the teacher.
That voice belonged to a legendary Cursed Spirit named Ryusei Sukuna who was incarnated in the former Substitute Soul Reaper after an unfortunate event involving him and a high grade Cursed Spirit attacking forced the orange-haired teen to ingest a Cursed object, one of that Sukuna brother's twenty fingers, and become the vessel of the Spirit. Fortunately, this had happened before with another kid, Yuji Itadori, and the other Sukuna brother and his own finger, and while there was some worry by a few Jujutsu Sorcerer elders about what would happen with a Soul Reaper/Hollow/Quincy hybrid as a vessel, they allowed it because Ichigo was able to handle it. He learned to work with Ryusei and eventually get into a permanent state where the Cursed Spirit's immense strength was added to his own, the markings that were on his body manifesting themselves permanently on Ichigo's body to show his mastery of the power. And the whole thing happened right before he first got involved in the world of Soul Reapers and Hollows.
When the fight over Karakura Town came, Ichigo had fused himself in a way with Ryusei to create a personality that was a combination of them and their powers and also fueled the Final Getsuga Tensho to have the ability to end Aizen for good. The rogue Soul Reaper was blindsided by the turn of events and could not understand what the power was that Ichigo possessed, fearing that he would die for the first time in his life because of the pure strength of the teen. He did end up dying from Ichigo's final attack, cursing his failures in his final moments. Of course, Ichigo lost his powers and that was the start of the events that led to his depressed state.
The three teens that had left the classroom previously returned after half an hour but Ichigo ignored them completely, something that they did not miss. The teacher continued his lecture, oblivious to the trio of teens' looks of worry and the orangette's indifferent expression towards the three. The final bell rang to signal the end of the day and Ichigo left to go to a place that had become a safe haven of sorts for him. The garage he and his pink-haired friend shared where they stored their rides. Both vessels stored multiple cars there that they had bought with the money each of their respective organizations would wire to them when they killed a Cursed Spirit or, in Ichigo's case, Hollow, almost all of the vehicles being high-end sports cars and supercars meant for road racing and other types of racing which showed just how much money both of them had earned over the course of their careers. Yuji met up with Ichigo and both walked to the garage that was less than a block from both of their houses. None of them noticed the multiple sets of eyes watching them walk to their destination.
Yoruichi sighed in disappointment after she saw her pupil mindlessly pay attention to the instructor like a emotionless drone, after she and the Ryoka had invaded the Soul Society to save Rukia, she, Tia, and Nel had decided to go to the Strawberry's school to keep an eye on them, though if they were being honest with themselves, it was mainly to be close to Ichigo, the young man they had fallen for after spending so much time with him. And it pained her to see his friends treat him like they were. How she wished she could claw that ignorant orange-haired healers face off for causing him to be so depressed, especially after he confided in her about what had happened with the Fourth Espada and how Orihime had looked at him and been afraid of him. As soon as she noticed what they were doing within the first couple of weeks after Aizen was defeated, she immediately enlisted his blonde and greenette admirers' help to cheer him up and give him some friends who wouldn't turn their backs on and ignore him. However, she didn't expect for a quintet of five other girls who the teen had become friends with to become part of their little project but she welcomed it as she could feel their longing for him and sadness at seeing him in the state he was in. She snickered at the little thought of her berry gaining a harem of beautiful girls that would love him unconditionally. 'If only he knew how much we cared for him, oh he would be in for a shock.' Little did know, the object of her affections was already somewhat aware of all of their love for him but didn't know what the extent of it was.
Hiding along with the rest of the girls, they all watched as Ichigo and his friend walked up to a large building and opened up a door, shutting the door on the way in. "You know something? We've seen Ichigo and Yuji go into that building many times, but they've never told us anything about it or what's in there. What do you think they got in there?" Yugito asked the rest of them.
"Not sure, it might be a gym they got in there. I mean, we've all seen how ripped both of them are, especially Ichigo, hehehe..." Anko drooled and blushed at the thought of her love interest's steel-like muscles.
Tia smacked the feisty purplenette upside the head. She said, with a bit of pink coloring her cheeks, "Please don't try to get us all hot and bothered, Anko. As much as I love Ichigo, I'm really not ready for what you are fantasizing about, someday I will be but not right now."
A giggle came from her fellow Vizard who thought the exchange was quite funny. Tia halfheartedly glared at Nel who turned her face away to hide her growing smile. The tanned blonde beauty sighed at the woman's childishness and turned her attention back to the building all of them were looking at.
Loud heavy metal music came booming from what sounded like a speaker inside the building, a series of mechanical noises, whirring and engines the primary sounds, also traveled to their eyes, indicating the boys were working on some sort of machine, though they didn't know what kind of machine it was. Fu tilted her in confusion. "That can't be a gym, I'm hearing metal and rumbling sounds in there. Gyms would not have something like that."
The blue-haired Konan nodded in agreement. "The rumbling might be an engine or two, a high-powered one if I am listening correctly, they could be working on a vehicle. Samui, can you bring out your phone and turn on its video camera? Maybe we can see what they are doing." she asked her large-chested friend who nodded and brought out her cellphone, turning it on and pointing the camera towards the window of the building.
Samui zoomed the camera in and they were finally able to see inside the building with it. They found Ichigo and all of them immediately got nosebleeds from the sight of him. "That view is cool." said the bob-haired blonde pervertedly as she zoomed in on him.
Ichigo was shirtless and the markings on his torso and the multitude of tattoos that decorated his body were shown off to the world for the girls to see. They could easily see his six-pack and muscular shoulders and arms ripple with every movement and the sweat drip down his body as he tirelessly worked on some sort of car. The eight girls started drooling and blushing at his godlike physique, but they snapped out of it as soon as they saw the markings on his body that they had never seen before.
"What are those things on his body? I've never seen them before," asked a frowning Anko. "Yoruichi, are they from when he had his powers?"
"They are not, this is the first time I have seen them." she replied. Groaning, she got up from her spot and stretched her limbs out. "We're getting nowhere. I say we just knock on the door and talk to Ichigo. Anyone have any other suggestions, because I've come up with nothing else." The rest of them looked at each other and shrugged, none of them had any ideas on what to do and Yoruichi's idea was the most logical out of what they had thought of so far, so they followed the ex-captain to the door and allowed her to knock on it a couple of times.
The door opened up and the young man that they loved stood in the doorway surprised to see his friends outside of his garage. "Uh, hey girls. Since you are here, I guess you finally got curious enough to want to know what we've been doing all this time." They nodded in response.
"We also want to talk with you as well," said Konan.
"I guess I probably should have told you guys about this place a while ago. You can come in if you want." the Strawberry said as he allowed the young women to walk through the doorway. He shut the door behind him and hollered to the spiky pink-haired teen in the garage with him, "Yo Yuji, the girls finally stopped by!"
"Took them long enough, I told you to tell them what we were doing here earlier," shouted the Itadori male to his friend. "Well, we might as well show them now." He flipped on a switch to bring some light to the building and show a truly jaw-dropping sight.
The building hosted a multitude of cars that looked to be incredibly expensive to purchase and maintain, each of them sporting a special custom livery that made them even more impressive to look at. A Mosler MT900S, McLaren Senna, Lamborghini Veneno, Ferrari F50 and LaFerrari, 2017 Ford GT and Mustang Shelby GT500, 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, 2020 Corvette Stingray Coupe, and 2018 Camaro ZL1 1LE, and Dodge Viper ACR and Challenger SRT Demon littered the area of the building, along with Ichigo and Yuji's personal rides, a Saleen S7 and Ferrari 488 Pista respectively. Tools and other various items associated with working on and tuning vehicles were scattered around multiple toolboxes and tables. The girls' eyes bugged out at the sight as they couldn't believe what they were seeing.
However, a certain werecat decided to show her disbelief in a different way. "Ichigo... WHAT THE HELL IS ALL THIS? WHY DO YOU GUYS HAVE ALL THESE EXPENSIVE CARS IN HERE AND HOW DO YOU HAVE THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE?!" yelled an irate Yoruichi. The rest of the girls were forced to calm her down as she continued to rant about the horde of cars while the two boys looked on with bored expressions. She finally calmed down after a bit and resigned to pouting at not being told about anything.
"Are you done?" asked Ichigo. The ex-clan head nodded. "This building is where we keep all of our rides and work on and tune them, we bought them with the money earned from killing Cursed Spirits and Hollows, and seeing the massive number of both we have killed, we have more than enough to buy all these and pay for their upkeep. The cars are for competitions in the racing league we participate in, though sometimes we just take them out for a drive." The teen let out a depressed sigh that was characteristic of him during his "hiatus" from Soul Reaper activities and slumped defeatedly into a nearby chair with a sad expression appearing on his face, showing just how bad his mood had gotten in the past year. The eight females took notice of how upset he seemed to be and became worried at what was wrong.
His mint-haired friend bent down to his level and grasped his rough hands, rubbing them to assure him they were concerned about his well being. "Ichigo, what is it? Please tell us what's wrong, all of us are worried about you. We saw Orihime, Chad, and Uryu run out to deal with a Hollow today in class, but you ignored them when they came back. Did they do something?"
He lowered his head in defeat. "I am sorry that I never told you girls about this place, I know I should have told all of you from the beginning. It's just, after I killed Aizen and sacrificed my Soul Reaper powers, I needed something to keep myself from being depressed. And me and Yuji used this building to fix up some of the older cars here, so when we found out that the police and other authorities in Karakura Town had organized a racing league to keep the hardcore street racers from wrecking and getting others seriously injured, we decided to compete as well, and we're pretty good at it. But it never got rid of all my depression, seeing those three rush out to fight Hollows every day not only made it worse but it would make me get angrier and angrier at them treating me like I'm a fragile porcelain doll and avoiding talking about anything involving the Soul Society and Hollows, no one from the Society ever visiting me the entire time just added on to my anger. Seeing them leave today again was the final straw, I decided right then and there that I would not deal with them anymore, there's only so much I can take before I start to break." The girls' eyes started to slightly water when they saw some tears trail down his cheeks.
Yuji walked over to console his friend. "It's okay, man. Go take a break, you need it, I'll finish up on the cars for today. Talk to Sukuna as well if you feel like you can, I think it will help. We do have those races later so make sure you have a clear head for them."
"Thanks, Yuji." the downtrodden male whispered quietly to the other male but his tears continued to fall at a slow pace.
Not being able to take her love interest silently crying, Fu hugged the much larger frame of the other teenager and rubbed his back to show she was there for him. She looked up at her friends and motioned for them to hug him as well, they immediately brought the teen into a group hug and stayed there for a while. "It'll be okay, Ichigo. You have us, you are ours and we are yours. Never forget that," she whispered to him. "There's something all of us have been wanting to do for a while now, and this seems like it may give you something to be happy about." She leaned in and lightly kissed him on the lips, her actions surprising him a little as he had not expected for her to basically confess her feelings for him. She pulled away after a few seconds and pulled him up from his chair, allowing Yugito to kiss him as well, which shocked Ichigo further. One by one, each of the girls each kissed the Strawberry to display their feelings for him.
"I don't understand, you... all like me? Why? I am nobody special." the bewildered Ichigo said.
"Don't say that, we all love you and you have done everything to deserve all of our love. We love you for being you." Konan confirmed his question.
"I've always had strong feelings for you girls but I couldn't tell what they were, but... I think I know what they are now. Are you sure all of you want to be with me?"
"Always. We're not letting you go that easily." Tia smiled happily. "If you don't mind, can we come to you and Yuji's races?"
"I'd love it if you'd come."
They hugged him again. "Thank you, Ichi."
For the first time in over a year, Ichigo Kurosaki had a genuine smile on his face. The girls were glad to see it again and they promised to keep that smile on his face for good.
So what did you think? Please read and review, but don't flame please.
Crash, out.
