Chapter 6
KABOOM!
The walls rattled, the houses shook.
"What the hell!" Suiryu protested.
"HELL!" shouted Nao.
"SUIRYU!" roared Nobara.
"Sorry, but what's going on? The house is shaking!"
"Someone must be sparring or something… but not those close to the houses, that's why we have spar pits…" she said and then appeared to realize what Suiryu was concerned about. But shortly after, they heard cheering!
"Is something going on that we're not aware of?" he asked.
"You would know that better than me,"
She had a point.
"Snowman! Snowman!" cheered Chiyo.
Suiryu peered out the window, however, his confusion was not the least bit settled. "Uh… there's like an army of snowmen outside… converging on Sukuna…" he said offhandedly.
Nobara peered over to him to see if he was lying, but, she looked out the window and saw it too. "Let's get the coats on the kids…"

KABOOM!
Another sector taken out, and yet it was to be anticipated. "SNOW GOLEMS OF UNCLES, FORWARD!"
It took only a few minutes for Kiyoshi to grasp Sukuna's lesson. He took his snowman concept and made it even better. Mainly, he has been able to perfect snow clones of his family and friends! They look just like them, they walk like a person but made completely of snow and elemental energy! However, this war had just begun. On the other side of the field was Sukuna, waiting and armed with four massive snowballs in each hand. When he throws them, it's like a cannonball!
He can take out a whole wave with just two in his grasp, but it takes time to make said snowball as well as for Kiyoshi to reform his army.
"GO KIYOSHI! KICK HIS ASS!"
He jumped, not realizing that there is now a sudden audience! With chairs and blankets set up at a safe distance, he saw his uncles with his expecting aunts, the Fushiguros, his family and students all taking in the event!
Of course, auntie Chusi was cheering for Sukuna.
"COME ON BABE! SHOW THOSE SNOWMEN WHOSE BOSS!" she called.
More began to gather as Kiyoshi smirked, he peered at Sukuna… who took the opportunity to make more snow cannonballs…
Two can play at that game, since after all, the next wave he is going to send out may throw him off. "Legion two snow golem of auntie Chusi, please back up the uncles."
They marched forward fearlessly.
These snow golems show no fear in the face of Sukuna, in fact, many are destroyed and rebuild from the same snow. As long as there is snow, and Kiyoshi has the power, he can keep going.
Sukuna however, has superhuman strength and endurance. So this could go on a while.
How it came about…
It was shortly after Kiyoshi took him up on his offer to assist him, he looked at the snowman and explained. "This is worthless in battle, you do see the flaw?" he asked.
"No kidding, it's a snowman." Kiyoshi snapped back.
That was when Sukuna's smile grew. "Make it look like me," he decreed.
"I'm not THAT good at making a snowman!"
He rolled all four of his eyes. "Your power, your energy makes these things move, your power and energy forged it, don't you think that you can do more than make snowmen and have them shift slightly? If you make it look like me, have it move like me. You know what I look like!" he protested. "Put it into practice. Make that snowman, look like me."
Kiyoshi sighed, but he tried to do it as Sukuna said. After all, he had a point.
However in the hour, he couldn't do it. There were too many details and it's something he hasn't done before.
He expected the former King of Curses to blow his stack at him for wasting his time, but… he never yelled or appeared disappointed. "Hm, perhaps it maybe too much for you to handle. Try something simple. If anything, learn from Mochi Tooru, try a kitten."
Kiyoshi was offended.
"A kitten?!" he demanded.
Grabbing two large handfuls of snow, he glared at Sukuna and said. "You think a kitten is going to change the way I look at this!"
At least he thought so, until he heard a gentle meow in his hand, followed by a kitten's purr. Kiyoshi peered down and was holding a very realistic snow kitten!
He froze, Sukuna paused and peered down, but smirked. "In fact brat, I do."
Kiyoshi looked a little closer at the kitten, if one didn't know any better, it looked like the real thing!
"Next level, make a dog." Sukuna ordered.
And he trained like this for twenty minutes. Kiyoshi understood that the smaller the creature the easier it is to make, as well, he adapted and learned how to form the shapes and get these things to move as they should. Sukuna was smiling by the time Kiyoshi made a snow clone of himself, and it moved effortlessly, as if it were alive!
Then, he got carried away. Kiyoshi began to make more snow clones of everyone, and in the end, he managed to make one of Sukuna too! He had an army by the end of it all.
"Not bad brat, as long as you got snow and energy, you have a legion…"
Kiyoshi nodded. "I'll bet you can't take them,"
There came a pause from Sukuna, he glared down at Kiyoshi who bore a wicked grin of his own. "Is that a challenge, brat?"
"A mere… observation on my part, I mean, you have no curse energy…"
"And does that make me less of a threat?" Sukuna went one farther and bashed three snow golems in a single blow. "You intend on defeating me with frozen water? I like to see you try!"
Kiyoshi smirked. "Fine, go to the other side of the field, if I can get these golems to the other side in one piece, I win!"
"Agreed, if not, I win, you run out of power, it's game over for the likes of you. I can keep going, my endurance is beyond you, child!"
They have been having fun ever since.
But Kiyoshi doubts Sukuna would ever admit to it.
