5. Pagoda
"Yoshio!"
Utahime shouted again as he got closer and closer to the big exit of the sanctuary area.
I was exactly where the stalls end and the parking lot begins
The poor could no longer with the anguish, she felt her heart die
"Where can my son be?!" Where did that idiot take him?!" Utahime said, still crying as she began to search through the rest area that that place has.
"Let's keep looking Utahime sama... my origami feel some cursed energy around here."
Said the apprentice who followed her while they both entered that wooded área
The cursed technique of that apprentice was mainly based on putting a little of her cursed energy in some small origami figure, which served as compasses to detect curses.
"This way senpai" said that Miko as they both headed towards where the paper crane was guiding them
"Very well! Yoshio!" I am going to show you how the strongest sorcerer eliminates these horrible creatures called curses." Gojo said with a big smile as he carried Yoshio back on his shoulders.
"Are you really the strongest sorcerer?" because you don't look like it, you look more like an old man!" That boy said while still playing with Gojo's sunglasses
"Just watch and learn!" I'll show you how Your pad — Gojo cleared her throat since she almost said that blinded by emotion —Like me, the great Gojo Satoru eliminates that little Worm in no time!
He said as they approached two women who were sitting on the other bench and where that curse wanted to do its thing
"Just humor me, okay?" Gojo said quietly
"Okay, Saturron!" Said that boy putting on those dark glasses
And as always Gojo began to do his thing with women
"Excuse me beautiful ladies..." Gojo said in a gallant tone
Those girls looked at him curious and more so being him, such a handsome and tall man
"Could you tell us where there's a souvenir shop near here?" Gojo asked smiling coquettishly.
But Yoshio also did his thing
"Yes, please, beautiful ladies... Dad forgot to buy Mom an anniversary present and we want to avoid her calling him an idiot and sending him to sleep in the bathtub."
Yoshio said with a smile and moving those sunglasses as Gojo would do and incidentally he pulled Gojo's hair a little so that everything looked more real
Gojo at first made a face at that comment, but smiled at hearing the word "daddy" from that child who still didn't know the truth.
At first, when the girls heard the word "Mom" they thought badly of that man, but Yoshio saved him with his ingenuity and charisma.
That little boy showed his beautiful blue eyes and the two women flattered that boy too much, answering that very obvious question in passing.
And while both girls were distracted
Quickly Gojo with a movement of his fingers, removed that curse similar to a gray worm
"Thank you very much beautiful ladies!" Gojo said goodbye as he continued to carry Yoshio on his shoulders.
" you look? this is how the strongest sorcerer does it!" Gojo flattered himself as he lowered Yoshio from his shoulders.
"Mmm, not bad, but you didn't stop seeing yourself as a pervert, dumbass..." He carefully lowered Gojo. "I could say that even I acted better than you." Yoshio said laughing and then slightly lifted Gojo's sunglasses to wink at him
"Ouch!" Gojo commented laughing... it was definitely his son
"Well brat..." Gojo ruffled Yoshio's hair "it's time to go back to your mother"
Gojo thought that the best thing was to return Yoshio to the sanctuary, but Yoshio grabbed him by the sleeve
"So," I tug at his shirt, "You say you can remove curses even more powerful than this?" Old man?" Yoshio ask this staring at him
"That I can, I can... nothing is impossible for Gojo Satoru... Why?" Gojo questioned
"Because there is a curse that always scares me and hides there " Yoshio said while with his left hand he pointed towards an ancient pagoda that had that sanctuary
"In the Pagoda?" Gojo questioned, very curious.
"Yes... that creature is very strong and sometimes it goes to the sanctuary to bother me or the others or sometimes it comes out at night, when there are few people and it comes to attack one or another... but — I sigh sadly - neither Mom nor my grandparents have been able to finish with that thing..." Yoshio began to explain, still holding his sleeve.
"And before returning to the sanctuary, I also wanted to ask you to eliminate it for me, since you were a jujutsu sorcerer and because I don't want my mom or my grandmother to get hurt one day by that Monster" Yoshio said with a long sigh.
Gojo quickly thought that it could be a category one curse or even a special category since if neither Utahime nor any of those who work in the sanctuary had been able to remove it, it meant that he had not asked the academy for help and that could become a great problem. trouble
Gojo looked at how Yoshio had a slightly sad face when he said that...in reality that boy was using his puppy dog eyes to convince Gojo
So he crouched down to Yoshio's level and stroked his hair.
"Of course! Nothing is impossible for the great Gojo Satoru!"
That made Yoshio smile.
If his son asked him to do that, he would fulfill it without further ado...
And by the way, he had decided, he would ask Utahime for custody after this.
Both went into that wooded area
Meanwhile, Gojo took the opportunity to ask Yoshio some questions.
"Hey enano..." He started to say as they walked to that pagoda.
"What do you want old man?" Yoshio said this while walking a few steps ahead of him
" And how is Utahime with you? Is she a good mother?" Gojo asked out of curiosity
"My mom is the best in the world— Yoshio saying began with a big smile— She sings to me a lot since I can remember, she takes me to school, she makes me delicious food, she takes me to my training sessions, she works hard to give me everything I need ... she is simply the best mom in the world."
Said that little boy praising his mother with a big smile
Gojo smiled a little when he heard that, those words gave him a little peace of mind, although he knew that Utahime had always shown signs that she would be a great mother since he met her.
"But…mmm I don't like it when she drinks a lot with Aunt Shoko or when she goes out with some man who doesn't deserve her…"
The little boy said with a grimace, "Especially the ones that make her cry."
Gojo felt a little annoyed at hearing that last bit.
"Does your mother often go out with other men?" Gojo asked, listening to himself as an annoyed father.
"Why do you want to know that? old man Are you jealous?" That boy asked curious
"Of course not! it's just curiosity"
Said Gojo with a smile... although deep down he was jealous that Utahime was going out with others and the simple idea that for those outings he could neglect his son bothered him.
"Well..."
Yoshio couldn't finish say that because upon reaching that ancient structure, they watched that special category curse quickly exit through one of the Windows
That blue creature with large claws was attracted by Gojo's cursed energy and by little Yoshio
"This will be a piece of cake", thought Gojo seeing that he would finally have some action after years
"Yoshio, stay close to me, okay?" Gojo said when he saw how Yoshio was scared when he saw that creature up close.
So the sorcerer protected his son with his infinity while that creature was getting closer
Yoshio clung to his leg. "It's all yours, old man!"
He said trying to encourage Gojo, who was ready to attack
"This will be a piece of cake!" You just watch so you can see why they call me the strongest! Said that man raising one of his fingers
But negative thoughts invaded Gojo as he felt Yoshio's heart beating rapidly.
"Is my son's heart beating this fast when he sees a strange man with Utahime?" Will he bring strange men to the house? It may endanger my son! Why am I hiding this from myself? She watched him grow up and I didn't!
The just thinking that Utahime hid this little boy from him made him angry more ... the simple fact that it was easy for that woman to simply walk away from him without explanation made him angry more.
She resented the idea that Utahime might neglect her SON for dating another man
It made his blood boil that he missed six years of his son's life...
All that accumulation of negative energy made Gojo not measure himself when using the power of his Red technique against that thing...
"I– I thought we'd find them here… I'm sorry Utahime sama…"
That apprentice said when she saw that her origami had guided them towards a small curse that was prowling around the small rest area
Utahime gave him a look of pure anger.
"Where can they be?!" Yoshio!" Said Utahime with a bitter mouth, she felt like dying until...
She notice how the small Pagoda that was a few meters from them... suddenly fell
Utahime felt too much cursed energy coming from there and her heart told her that her son was there
"The pagoda!"
Utahime run quickly there while leaving her apprentice behind, who decided instead to go look for Umeko San and her partner
Utahime ran as fast as his legs would allow him since they were afraid that something had happened to their son in that area
"Wow!" Yoshio said surprised
"Now do you believe me to be the strongest sorcerer?" Huh, Yoshi?" Gojo asked in high spirits as he leaned down a bit to look at Yoshio.
That attack was such that in two by three I ended that special grade curse... but in the end it ended up knocking down that traditional pagoda
"Not bad old man... not bad, I just hope my grandfather doesn't get mad about it." Yoshio point to the Pagoda that had completely collapsed
But that didn't matter, Gojo was happy to be with his son.
That little boy smiled looking at that adult... his eyes were the same there was no doubt
And when Gojo was going to say a few words to him...
"YOSHIO!"
A woman's piercing scream was heard
Quickly Gojo and that little boy turned to see where that call came from
Utahime had found them
"Mommy?" Yoshio said when he saw his mother with tears
Utahime quickly ran towards him and Gojo only took a few steps back when he saw that scene.
"YOSHIO, ARE YOU OKAY?!" WHO GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO LEAVE THE TEMPLE LIKE THIS?! —Utatime said squatting in front of her son
She caressed her son's cheeks and hair... finally her heart rested from that anguish of not knowing where her little one was...
The poor thing wanted to make sure her son was okay, but her tears kept overflowing.
"DID NOTHING HAPPEN TO YOU RIGHT?!
That Pagoda was destroyed, but he didn't care, he was only interested in knowing that his son was safe and sound
"YOU DON'T KNOW THE SCARE YOU JUST GAVE ME!" Utahime's voice cracked again as she hugged her son tightly.
"I'm sorry mommy, but I'm fine, nothing happened to me on the contrary I had a lot of fun next to Gojo Satoru that we even eliminated the curse that was in this place and…"
That little boy said with a smile while hugging his mother
Utahime looked him in the eye for a moment... hearing that bothered him so much that he didn't even let his son finish speaking
- AND YOU! HOW DARE YOU TAKE MY SON WITHOUT MY PERMISSION? YOU RAPTASTE A MINOR, THAT'S A SERIOUS CRIME GOJO! AND BY THE WAY YOU DESTROY PART OF MY FAMILY'S SANCTUARY! IS THIS SOME KIND OF REVENGE FROM YOU? YOU ARE A DAMN UNHAPPY!— Utahime shouted very furious standing up in front of that man
"Yoshio said that would be a good idea!" Besides, he didn't completely leave the sanctuary, we are still here in his land and by the way, I eliminated a special category curse that they had in his territory! On the contrary I did them a favor Utahime! You should thank me, at least, weakling!
That man answered, raising his hands for a moment in peace
- YES OF COURSE! —Utahime hugged her son , who passed his little hands around his mother's neck
The poor boy, seeing his mother like this, was too scared since he had never seen her so furious, so he better hid his face in her neck while Utahime, who held him in her arms
"I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU NEAR MY SON EVER AGAIN, IMBECIL!" Utahime yelled, very furious and turning around.
But Gojo didn't stay silent and coldly blurted out the following while clenching his fists.
"SHOULD READ, OUR SON! UTAHIME..."
The utahime blood went to the ground and her heart skipped a beat when she heard that
Little by little Utahime turned to see him again
"What did you say...Gojo?"
Utahime let out that surprised question that even her tears stopped
Gojo wasn't going to keep quiet anymore... that was the straw that had spilled the camel's back
"I said "our son" Gojo admired how Utahime widened his eyes in surprise and how his jaw opened without words being able to come out.
Oh yes, Utahime, I just found out the truth... and I'm not leaving here until you tell me everything... SO IT MUST BE THE FURIOUS ONE SINCE I WANT MY SON BACK!
He said furiously as he looked at that woman with a face so red with anger...
For the first time Gojo was really mad at Utahime...
But something that both adults were not thinking about was that Yoshio was listening to them...
"Dad?"
Notes
Did you know: Virtually any normal person or wizard COULD NOT SEE through Gojo Satoru's sunglasses
Why? Because these are made especially for him
This is an interesting fact since, like uniforms, some weapons or special items are sent exclusively to certain wizards.
So in theory... only another wearer of all six eyes could see with those glasses.
