Chapter 15
"Special training huh?"
Gojo just got word of it all after returning from a mission of his own, he remembered Yuuji saying something about Suiryu wanting to take a turn at giving him lessons on his power, but never anticipated on it happening so soon. "They've been gone for a week Satoru." Yaga stated. "I was not too fussed on the notion either, however Yuuji explained that he did ask Suiryu for help on adjusting and controlling his curse energy."
Still, something didn't sit right with him. "Okay then," he said and wondered out of the room. He immediately got on the phone. Yuuji was always good at picking up, but this was going on for some time. "Come on, pick up, pick up, pick up…"
Then there was an answer. "Hello?"
"YUUJI!"
"SENSEI!"
"How's the training going?"
"Really well Sensei, Suiryu is teaching me quite a lot, but I am still trying to understand some of it… he wants to make new curse techniques with me!"
He paused to that. "New techniques huh? You were already good at that"
He heard a nervous laugh. "Sensei… I only took what I learned and just improved upon it. But to make something out of nothing… it's something I never really considered before…"
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING ON THE PHONE!? WE GOT WORK TO DO!"
"SORRY SUIRYU!" he heard Itadori shout back. "Sorry sensei, I got to go. Tell everyone I said hi and I'll be a lot stronger next time they see me!"
"Sounds good, keep at it. Later Yuuji!"
He hung up the phone, but paused and shook his head. "Does he think I'm an idiot?" he said with a snicker. "I got to admit, he did pull off a convincing Yuuji."
Still, curious to what they were doing, Gojo wanted to see for himself…

Meanwhile.
"That fucker…" Suiryu muttered as his face turned back.
"Everything okay?"
He shook his head. "That was his teacher, one of the strongest jujutsu users in the world right now… and I tried to fool him." He sighed aloud. "So needless to say, he is going to be coming here soon enough…"
Junpei was stunned. "Wait, he knows where we are?"
"More or less, he's got good instincts for this… I better find him before he finds this place, the last thing I want is you and your brothers getting killed…"
Suddenly Junpei appeared nervous. "He would kill us?" he asked meekly.
"More than likely, you attack him, he will erase you from existence to say the least." he swallowed his pride as he called the number back. Suiryu waited but found he was waiting for the phone to be picked up just as long as he made Satoru wait.
"Hello?"
"Satoru… We need to talk, and I know you are on your way here."
"I already found you,"
Suiryu sighed, as the very man he called stood right behind him. When he turned Gojo pointed to Junpei. "Whose the curse?"
"Junpei, Satoru Gojo," he said in a very uninterested tone. "Look, I got to explain…"
"BROTHER! WHOSE THAT WITH YOU?!"
Gojo turned and saw them, he then looked back at Suiryu with his arms crossed. "Oh, this is going to be good. How the hell are you going to explain this?" he asked with a playful grin.
"Oh shut up already, first thing I got to do is get Yuuji inside…" he turned but found he was already gone.
"Oh, Sho brought him in already." Junpei whispered.
"Very well then, Satoru, follow us inside, I will explain everything."
#
They sat down to a rather nice meal. Eso of all the brothers knew how to cook somehow, that or he gained it from Yuuji when he was within him. Either or! There was a meal and more than enough to go around. Suiryu had to explain who Satoru was to the table. "He is Yuuji's sensei, and is held in high respect. Please show him the same courtesy…"
"But you don't…"
"Shut up," he muttered.
The brothers smiled and nodded to him as they ate. Gojo kept looking about at all of them before he leaned over to Suiryu. "The cursed wombs I assume?" he whispered.
"All but one more or less…" he whispered back. They finished their meal. "Brothers please excuse my friend and I, we need to catch up," he announced.
They nodded as Suiryu led Gojo outside. When they were a distance away, Gojo became serious. "This is screaming Sukuna right now…" he said in a warning tone. "What the hell were you thinking?"
"I didn't have a choice,"
"Oh sure, that's what they all say."
"Satoru… do you know why I am doing this?" he asked offhandedly. "Because I have seen a lot of things through both Yuuji and Sukuna, and it's all the same thing. Everyone becomes too dependent on the strong…" he said. "You and I both know Yuuji can solve this all on his own if he knows how to do it properly. You could probably as well to a certain degree, and myself… but in the end, it's not solving the greater issue."
Satoru paused. "Like what happened in Kyoto and…"
"Don't mention the other incident, I know it all too well!" Suiryu warned. "But, yes, that is what I am trying to prevent. I have been working hard on getting everyone stronger, but it's a slow process. I am not rushing them since mistakes are made when that happens. I can get them there but we don't have the time. They are our backup." He explained and pointed towards the old dorm. "All of them are special grade curse humans, and when I am through, they will be our greatest allies."
"You are recruiting curses…"
"They are part curse… and part human." He explained. "But at the moment, I could give a damn if they were either or, they said they would help us. I promised to get them stronger."
"You are stretching yourself rather thin aren't you Suiryu? Between here, Tokyo, Kyoto and then them…" he shook his head to it all. "You can't keep doing it all yourself."
"So, help me!" he snapped back.
Gojo was stunned by his little outburst. "Help you?"
"You heard me the first time you smug piece of shit!"
"What's with the language?"
Suiryu glared at him. "UP until THIS point… not once have you offered to help me."
Gojo paused but nodded, it was true. He never did offer his assistance, it wasn't asked of him either. "True, but you could ask,"
"You know me better than that, I am not Yuuji!" he snapped back. Suiryu sighed. "I want to help the students, but at the moment, if I focus on the brothers here, I know I can have them ready in a matter of weeks. The others… they are going to take a lot longer. I need them all to increase their curse energy. Mika merely needs someone to spar with but not go easy on her in order to get her senses up."
"Okay then," Satoru said. "I'll do that…"
He froze.
"Really?" Suiryu asked with bewilderment. "You'll assist me?"
"What the hell, it was bothering me that the kids were asking you for guidance over me…" he muttered.
Suiryu cracked a smirk. "You were jealous!"
"Was not!"
"HAHA! The six eyes is jealous of me!"
Gojo glared at him, Suiryu eventually stopped his snickering. "So what do I need them to do?" he muttered.
"Curse energy, the same way you taught Yuuji how to do it. But it will be different for Nobara and Inumaki. Nobara has to infuse her nails with curse energy, when she has infused as many as ten, she recovers and then takes that energy back through her hands, that's the main source of her strength. Inumaki already knows how to cultivate, Fushiguro… if you find he is doing it easily, up his output to 10%, Tell Panda from this moment on that he need to remain in his 'big brother' gorilla form and to keep doing so each and every day until he is out of curse energy and then regain it through meditation"
Satoru paused for a moment. "Shit, you really do keep track don't you?"
"What kind of teacher would I be if I didn't? Now, the Kyoto students I will still handle myself…"

He returned to the school an hour later.
Gojo sighed aloud and shook his head to everything he witnessed. But still, a part of him didn't trust Suiryu or the method he was using. At the same time, the idea was brilliant! He will have to keep his mouth shut for the time being…
