Yo, sorry for the wait but I was updating some of my older stories. I was hoping there would be more JJK crossover stories by now but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case. If any writers are reading this, hopefully you decide to try your hand at it. Lord knows we could use a few more. Anyways let's get on with the chapter.
Naruto stared down at the pale skinned man making his way towards him, trying to find anything that could give him an idea as to what he was about. The man didn't carry a blade of any sort so at first glance he could tell he wasn't a cursed tool user. What was a cause for concern however was the amount of power the curse was radiating.
It was definitely stronger than the Sukuna he fought a few days ago, but it lacked the same malevolent presence of the King of curses. The curse stopped a few feet away from him and looked back at him with a carefree smile on his face.
"Hmm? I don't recognize you...I suppose that's a good thing for me. It would've been bad if Gojo Satoru had been the one to find me."
Naruto narrowed his eyes at that. If he was a recently created curse, but already knew about Gojo. It would be safe to assume he knew of Itadori and Sukuna. Hell, he probably knew about the other students as well.
"You'll find that me being the one to find you doesn't make things any better for you." Naruto shot back. In the blink of an eye the blond sorcerer was behind the curse, leg already on course to remove the curse's head from its body. The curse however ducked just in time to let his leg fly over him harmlessly.
It jumped forward, turning around in mid air to face him. Naruto watched in mild disgust as it opened its mouth and seemingly regurgitated four dark green and purple bundles of mass.
'Bombs maybe?' Naruto thought to himself as the 'man' threw them in his direction. Just as he was going to step aside the bundles expanded, turning into large grotesque looking creatures. They had skull-like faces that were bleeding from the mouth, but didn't seem to be in any pain. The four creatures charged at him at once at rather low speeds.
Naruto ducked under a swipe and stepped aside to avoid a hand grabbing him by the other creature. The blond leapt into the air in order to get behind the largest of the bunch and placed a hand on its back.
"Cursed technique reversal: Supernova". The skin on the beast began to glow red for a moment before its insides were scattered about the room as it took the explosion head on. Fortunately for the blond his senses warned him of an incoming attack and he moved his head just as a chain like weapon with blades on its edge passed right by him.
"Oh? You managed to dodge that? I was sure that would get you." The curse told him, mirth present in his voice. Naruto dashed aside as the attack came again, this time following him as he moved. One of the remaining three creatures got in his way as he tried to evade the attack, a large claw already aiming to maim him.
Naruto quickly grabbed the appendage and flipped the beast over his shoulder, directly into the incoming attack. Almost as if it were made of butter, the blades easily cut through the beast, turning it into no more than bloody chunks on the ground. The blond ducked under the attack, letting it hit the metal wall behind him.
Quickly glancing at the impact spot he saw it was strong enough to leave a large indentation in the metal. Deciding it was time to get on the offensive, the blond quickly dashed at the curse, only to have to stop as the other two beasts went to defend their creator.
'Getting real tired of these things' Naruto thought to himself. He could use his main jujutsu ability but he didn't want to let that technique be shown just yet. Kicking the two in the head, sending them back slightly, he raised his arms.
"Pressure craft" He called out. The ground beneath everyone shook violently, no doubt having the people above think it was an earthquake. After a second the ground beneath them ruptured, revealing multiple medium sized stones, all floating in the air in front of the blond. He motioned downwards with his fingers quickly and the stones took the shape of swords.
He swung his arms forward, sending the stone blades at his enemies at incredible speeds. The first two hit the beasts in the head with no problem, putting them out of their misery while the rest made their way towards the stitched curse.
Naruto watched as he shifted his body into what should've been impossible angles to avoid the blades. So at the very least he could shift his body into weapons, and could somehow create beasts by touching the mass he had. While the curse was busy dodging and now even using blades he created with his hands, Naruto disappeared only to reappear behind him.
Coating his fist in cursed energy, he punched the man in the side hard enough to draw blood. That attack threw the man off rhythm, letting two of the stone blades pierce his shoulder and his leg. Not wanting to give him even a moment to react, Naruto aimed a punch at his face and got in front of him to give him a hard uppercut, sending him into the air.
Part of Naruto couldn't help but be a little disappointed. He'd briefly felt a little excited at the prospect of fighting someone who was currently stronger than Sukuna. That went away though when he saw how it fought, there was no real technique, and only minor strategy when it tried to take his head after he killed one of its beasts.
The blond grabbed him by the ankle, violently swinging him into one of the sewer walls. The curse looked up at him, eyes wide in surprise as blood pooled out of its mouth. Naruto raised his left hand, letting a black orb with purple malevolent looking aura manifest.
"Cursed technique reversal: Gravity Singularity" The small orb shot forward, rapidly increasing in size as it got further away from him. Though he tried, Naruto couldn't help the small smile on his face as the orb travelled.
The white haired curse tried to jump away from the attack but didn't count on it expanding in size when right next to him. Naruto watched as its foot was engulfed in the attack and reduced to nothing, along with a section of the wall behind him. It didn't take long for the blood to begin spilling out of the wound.
"All that cursed energy and all you could do was create some grotesque monsters? A damn shame." Naruto commented. "I don't want to cause too much damage so I'll at least send you off quickly." The blond brought his hands up in front of his face and clasped his hands together, lacing his fingers in between each other.
"Ryouiki Ten…" The blond didn't get to continue the technique as the walls to the left and right of him behind him exploded. He was forced to use his innate technique to allow a large vine with thorns to pass through him. The moment he materialized however he did kick upwards just in time to change the second attack's trajectory.
While he focused on forcing the red blast upwards the two new arrivals had made their way over to their fellow curse.
"Oi Mahito!" The shorter of the two spoke out. Naruto noticed he was a cyclops like curse with a volcano on the top of his head and two more volcano 'mouths' on the sides of his head. "I thought you said you could handle yourself." It continued while staring at Naruto.
"I thought since I didn't know him he must not have been that strong. My mistake." Mahito said with a playful expression, as if he didn't have two stone blades in him and his whole foot missing.
The other plant-like curse didn't say anything but 'looked' at him as if gauging his strength. Naruto wasn't sure if it could really see since it had tree branches for eyes but he had a feeling he had a way. Not only that but it also had one of its arms wrapped in a sling for whatever reason.
Naruto didn't want to have a full on battle with three special grade curses, not down here at least. The amount of damage he'd cause to take them on would be immeasurable.
'I need to get out of here. I'll have to just kill him quickly next time.' He thought. Naruto aimed his hand forward and let off another 'supernova' in order to create a large amount of smoke and debris and made his escape. As he ran down the sewer system he occasionally glanced back to make sure he wasn't being followed. Luckily it seemed the two were preoccupied with their fellow curse.
Naruto couldn't help but frown thinking about it. Three special grades, two with the ability to speak, and all three with more cursed energy than Sukuna at the moment were seemingly working together. He'd have to make sure to let Gojo know about this.
Mahito knew of the strongest sorcerer, if he was created recently that meant someone had to have informed him. As Naruto made his way out of the sewers via another man hole it dawned on him. It had to be at least four special grades working together, or the three of them working with a curse user. If there was someone out there who was organizing them then they had to be plotting something big.
He patted himself down and quickly made his way back to Jujutsu Tech, ignoring everyone as he made his way to where he knew Gojo usually hung out. Unfortunately for him the white haired man wasn't present when he arrived.
'Damn it. Of all the times for him not to be here he chose now of all times?' Naruto thought to himself angrily. He exhaled a deep breath and pulled his phone out to check the time. He had about half an hour before he was supposed to round up Fushiguro and Kugisaki for training. Naruto decided to just text the man that he needed to talk to him before making his way outside to the training grounds.
Despite having already battled today he made sure to stretch and mentally go over how he wanted to go about this today. After a little deliberation on his part he decided he'd just wing it. That's how he's done things up until now anyway, why change that?
A few minutes later the two first years could finally be seen making their way towards him. Naruto was happy to see Fushiguro still wearing the shoes he'd gotten him and not reverted back to those ugly brown boots.
"Good you guys made it on time." Naruto said, punching his open palm.
Fushiguro cracked his fingers and raised his hand. "You said we'd be working on our cursed techniques today? How exactly are we going to do that?"
The blond opened his arms wide, motioning to the entire field "The two of you are going to fight me again. This time however, you're gonna be able to use your cursed techniques. Your objective is to draw blood. It doesn't matter how you do it as long as you do it." He explained.
Kugisaki frowned in confusion "Hold on. Are you going to be fighting back?" She asked.
"Last time you didn't do anything until we told you outright to fight back." Fushiguro clarified.
Naruto nodded ruefully. "Sorry about that. I'll be fighting back with the same amount of power I used when I fought Sukuna. I hope you'll understand why I won't use all of my cursed techniques though."
Thankfully both first years nodded. Fushiguro had told Kugisaki about his battle with Sukuna and the two knew he was out of their league in almost every category. Naruto knew where Gojo put him in terms of strength, somewhere in the 13 finger range in terms of Sukuna. However, that was before he'd been able to complete his domain expansion.
Naruto was confident that at full strength now, he was pushing somewhere in the 17 finger range. Gojo always told him with his innate technique and battle IQ, he'd be stronger than him by the time he was in his early to mid twenties.
"Alright. We have the entire field as our battleground. First…" Naruto trailed off before looking up. He brought his right hand up towards his face and held up his index and middle finger. "Emerge from the darkness, blacker than darkness. Purify that which is impure." He chanted.
The two students look up to see a black mass appear directly above them before slowly coming down to surround the field.
"A curtain?" Fushiguro asked.
Kugisaki closed her eyes in thought. "Maybe it's not meant to keep us from being seen." She said as she pulled out her hammer and nails. Using her cursed energy she had one of the nails float in front of her and smacked it towards the curtain.
She smiled in satisfaction when the nail bounced off the veil and hit the ground.
"Exactly Kugisaki." Naruto praised. "It's meant to keep our techniques from damaging anything outside. Now whenever you guys are ready we can start." He said, getting into his fighting stance.
The black haired teen clasped his hands together, instantly forming a black substance that took the shape of a large orange winged beast with a white mask. "Nue!"
The bird Shikigami took to the skies and began circling the area, electricity coming off its wings as it flapped about. Naruto's attention was instantly drawn back down, where he noticed Kugisaki had moved the moment he'd taken his eyes off of them.
He tilted his head in time to let a glowing blue nail pass by and jumped aside as the shikigami had gone into a dive to strike him. Though he managed to avoid the swipe as well as the electricity that followed he didn't have time to breath as Fushiguro had appeared in front of him.
Naruto brought his hands up and parried the punches that came his way. He swiped away a left jab and quickly returned fire with a left uppercut followed by a palm thrust to his stomach. He lifted his leg up to strike but stopped in time as a nail soared right where his leg would've been in a second.
Glancing around quickly he noticed over ten floating nails around the area, all at different altitudes.
'She set that up in the time I was dealing with Fushiguro and placed them at different heights so I can't just duck or jump over them.' He thought to himself slightly impressed. Kugisaki hammered the first nail and soon the rest followed, though they came at different speeds. He ducked under the first one and prepared to jump when he felt the world begin to tilt.
His body was suddenly constricted by a black mass that hugged his upper body. It quickly hardened, taking the shape of a snake's mouth and began rising upwards. Naruto looked to the side, which meant he was looking up, and saw Nue begin building up electricity.
'So that's their plan. Trap me in the snake and have it lead me to Nue. Not a bad plan…" Naruto thought, now really impressed. He didn't know if the two had talked strategy the day before or if they winged it but it was a good plan. A good plan if they were fighting anyone other than him or Gojo.
"Gravitational Increase" Naruto said just before they reached Nue. In the blink of an eye both of the Shikigami began tumbling downward. The pressure was so intense that the blond seemed to be ripped from the mouth of the serpent as he remained in place.
Down below, both Fushiguro and Kugisaki briefly fell to a knee as the gravity in the area seemed to triple.
"Not bad at all." Naruto said as he floated down. He snapped his fingers and the area seemingly became lighter. Fortunately both the first years were able to righten themselves again. The blond was going to continue speaking but was once again cut off by a barrage of nails coming at him.
It seemed that even though she'd been put down slightly, Kugisaki had managed to keep her concentration and forced her technique to continue.
"Let's get him Fushiguro!" She yelled, completely pumped up. Her partner didn't verbally respond but did dash forward and engage in hand to hand combat. Naruto knew what their goal was here though, distracting him enough for a nail to hit its mark.
Naruto parried punch after punch while his eyes darted to the sides every so often to see where the next nail would come from. The blond swiped the feet from under him and tried to stomp on his chest only for the boy to roll away. His hand quickly shot out, managing to grab one of the nails nearby and threw it back.
Amplified with a little gravity, the nail shot back with twice the speed it originally had. The young woman's eyes widened slightly and barely had enough time to step aside. That small lapse in concentration cost her.
Naruto appeared in front of her and let off one punch to the chest and the other across her cheek. The orange haired woman tumbled on the ground but quickly got back up, spitting out a glob of blood as she did so.
"Oi you know how long it takes to get grass stains out of these?!" She yelled, pointing to her uniform.
"Sorry sorry" naruto halfheartedly apologized, which seemed to irk her more. His playful nature quickly changed when he felt something approaching from behind. Turning around he saw a large dog charging at him but Fushiguro was nowhere in sight.
The dog quickly picked up speed and forced him to jump, which is when he realized there was more than just a dog summoned. All around were small green toads with their mouths open. The same type as the one Kugisaki had been in when he first showed up.
One of them quickly shot their tongue out at him, and threw him in the direction of another. As he was in the air he noticed that now neither of his two opponents were present.
"Oi!" Naruto heard an echo. "I hope you like the new technique!" He briefly wondered what they had in store when he saw the field below him begin to glow blue at different spots.
'That's where the nails landed earlier' He realized. The glow grew brighter before a spark caught his attention. 'Oh shi…' His sentence was cut off as each spot exploded at different intervals, quickly covering the area. There were about ten or fifteen continuous explosions that went on for about a minute before stopping.
"This is so...disgusting.." Kugisaki complained as she stepped out of the mouth of one of the toads.
"It was the only way to get this to work since he could just bring any winged summon down with gravity." Fushiguro defended. The two looked at the still smoky area, looking for any sign of their part time sensei.
"You don't think we killed him did you?" Kugisaki asked.
Their answer came in the form of a silhouette forming within the smoke. It got darker and darker until out of it came the blond, without a single scratch on him.
Both of the teens looked at him in shock until it clicked in Fushiguro's head. Before he got a chance to say anything the curtain came down, letting light envelop everyone once again.
"Good job." Naruto congratulated. "Had this been against almost anyone else, that last attack would have done some pretty good damage."
"You used your jujutsu ability to let the explosions pass right through you." The Shikigami user deduced.
The blond nodded. "Exactly. That last plan the two of you hatched up would have certainly drawn blood had I not had this ability. I was forced to use it, therefore I say the two of you completed the objective."
Kugisaki looked smug and used her hand to flip part of her hair to the other side. "I never lost faith in our abilities." Fushiguro just looked at her blank faced, remembering how the two of them were being handled.
"Right." Naruto replied, not completely buying it. "Anyways feel free to have yourselves looked at if you need it. We'll meet up tomorrow for more training. Also sorry about the bruise on your cheek Kugisaki. Just because you're cute didn't mean I was going to second guess an opening."
The orange haired woman smirked and turned away "Hm. So you're competent and you know a good looking woman when you see one? I think I like you better than Gojo-sensei already." She commented before heading off. Fushiguro just bowed slightly and thanked him for his help before also going off.
Naruto watched the two students head out and turned around when he felt three others approaching him. He recognized two of them, the large panda and the white haired boy with the bottom half of his face covered.
The final member was a rather tall girl with green hair done in a ponytail and wore the same uniform as Kugisaki, though her top was longer and not cut off at her midriff. Resting on her shoulders was what he could only assume was a cursed tool in the form of a polearm. It was basically a spear with some cloth right where the blade began.
"Hello." The giant panda greeted waving a paw once they were directly in front of him.
"Kelp" Came from the white haired boy.
"You're new." Stated the green haired girl.
"Maki, you should at least greet him properly since this is our first time meeting him." Admonished the panda. Naruto couldn't help but feel a little baffled, here he was watching a panda scold a person.
Naruto laughed despite this and waved back. "Yo. Sorry I couldn't introduce myself last time I uh….had something to take care of." It wasn't necessarily a lie. "Namikaze Naruto. Second year. A pleasure to meet you." He greeted, taking a slight bow.
The panda bowed back and pointed to himself and then the other two. "I'm Panda, this is Inumaki Toge and Zenin Maki."
Naruto blinked. "I've heard of you before." Naruto said, looking at the woman. "Satoru tells me you're incredibly strong."
Maki blinked, clearly not expecting that. The amount of people that immediately commented on her lack of cursed energy had her expecting him to talk about that first.
"He tells me you should be a first class sorcerer but your family gets in the way. Strong and pretty, I'd love to spar against you some time to see how strong you really are." He finished.
Maki tilted her head. "I suppose we could do that."
Panda looked like he was going to say something but stopped when a ringing sound came from Naruto's pockets. He lifted a finger to the trio and pulled his phone out to see who it was.
Meet me in 5 minutes. Same place
-Gojo
Naurto sighed. Here he had another pretty girl in front of him and now Gojo decides to get back to him?
"Sorry to cut things short but I have something to take care of. If you guys want, we could meet up here tomorrow. I'd love to get to know you guys better."
The trio had no problem with this and watched him make his way out of the training area.
Maki glanced to her side to see both Inumaki and Panda looking at her with mischief clear in their eyes. "What?" She asked.
"Namikaze-san thinks you're pretty/salmon." The two boys teased.
"Shut up."
