This story is focused mainly on Satoru Gojo and his absence from the Manga. I will also add in Sakura to many of the canon plots. It's slightly canon because it follows the canon timeline.
Sakura and Danzo Shimura are from Kishimoto's Naruto but idk if I would consider it a crossover because Sakura Shimura will be slightly different from Sakura Haruno. However, she will have most of her same features such as Byakugou seal, but it will be use in a different context.
I'm looking for help with writing this story please let me know if you're interested!
Rate, Review, and give constructive feedback so I can do better!
*NOTES:
Danzo Shimura: President of the Jujutsu Society Council (JSC) he will be THE higherup that everyone hates so much.
Sakura Shimura: Daughter of Danzo, Head doctor for Jujutsu Society and Kyoto Jujutsu High. She trained Ieiri Shoko
Prologue
Location: Mountains of Kyoto, Japan
As the world is shrouded in darkness, spirits whisper in the shadows and danger lurks around every corner, a private meeting is unfolding within the confines of a modest temple nestled amidst the Higashiyama mountains.
Two figures, their silhouettes stark against the warm glow of a flickering flame, engage in a low conversation. The sacred temple's sanctity shields their words from the curious ears of the world...
Seated regally, a tall and commanding figure cradles a small clay cup brimming with steaming tea. His voice, a low and resonant rumble, reverberates through the hallowed chamber.
"Sakura, my beloved and only child," he began, his eyes hidden in the play of shadows, "Are you prepared and willing to accept this task?"
The second figure, a petite woman adorned in traditional garb, knelt respectfully across from him. Her soft voice broke through the stillness of the temple. "Hai," she replies emotionlessly, "I will do my best to control The Six Eyes. Is there anything else, Father? May I take my leave?"
"Yes. Remember what I've instilled in you, child" He replies.
"Avoid personal attachments," she recited. "Emotions cloud judgment and disrupt the balance of our world". I've heard it since my childhood, father. I won't succumb to the charm of Satoru Gojo or any other human for that matter. I promise…" A hint of annoyance laced her response as she rose to her feet and vanished into the depths of the forest, leaving no trace behind her.
Chapter 1: Reunited
The Next Evening
(Takes place the day before Satoru meets Yuji for the first time)
Location: Sendai, Japan
Amidst the urban landscape of Sendai, where the everyday rhythm of life carried on unaware of the supernatural undercurrents, Satoru Gojo, a tall, white-haired, charismatic jujutsu sorcerer, strolled with an air of casual confidence. His steps were light, and his vivid blue eyes sparkled with curiosity beneath his distinctive blindfold.
Satoru's stroll led him to a quiet, dimly lit alley, far removed from the prying eyes of the city's inhabitants. There, hidden from the public eye, a strong pulse of cursed energy drew his attention. He followed this disturbance deeper into the alley where he finds a concealed barrier.
Inside this confined domain, Sakura Shimura confronted a massive Grade 2 cursed spirit, one that bore a disconcerting resemblance to a feral, distorted alley cat.
Satoru couldn't help but grin at the sight.
In the secretive world of jujutsu sorcerers, where life-and-death battles against curses were the norm, seeing a five-foot-four, pink-haired woman confront such a grotesque opponent was nothing short of entertaining.
He observed Sakura's appearance, noting that she had chosen attire different from the usual Jujutsu High uniform. Instead, she wore a fitted black sleeveless mock neck shirt, a tight red utility belt holding her cursed weapons, snug black shorts that reached mid-thigh, knee-high boots, and black gloves. It was a noticeable change from her previous style.
Satoru continued to watch as Sakura extended her arms, fists pulsating with a soft green aura. Determination etched across her face as she unleashed a shockwave punch directed at the cursed feline. The ground beneath them shook as the impact shattered the surroundings.
Satoru leaned against the alley wall, entertained by the spirit's struggle to withstand Sakura's overwhelming strength. It emitted frantic cries, its form distorting in its effort to maintain its physical presence.
In a final surge of power, Sakura yelled out "SHAAAA-NNAAAA-ROOOO" as she released another fist of energy that consumed the spirit, reducing it to mere wisps of cursed energy. A silence followed; the alley was now devoid of the creature's menacing presence and the veil was lifted.
Approaching Sakura with a playful smile, Satoru clapped his hands. "Impressive as always, Sakura-chan."
Sakura turned her attention to Satoru and rolled her eyes, her shoulders visibly relaxing. "Don't think you can just waltz in and disrupt my missions, Gojo. I had it under control."
He lifted his blindfold and sent her a playful wink, "Wouldn't dream of it. I was exorcising a measly grade 1 myself when I sensed your presence and thought I'd come enjoy the show."
Sakura exhaled, her gaze stern, "If you're just here to mess with me, then make yourself useful and dispel the curse reside while I heal the victim." With that, she moved ahead, leaving Satoru to follow her.
After the short confrontation with the Grade 2 cursed spirit, Sakura turned her attention to the injured civilian, an elderly man with both legs torn off from attempting to flee the creature. Her hands glowed softly as she channeled her energy to stop the bleeding before the emergency medical services arrived to take the poor man to a hospital.
Satoru watched her silently, observing her compassion and healing abilities. This moment showed a different side of Sakura, highlighting her gentle nature, one of the things that drew him to her years ago.
20 minutes later
"I arrived just in time to save him, but I couldn't protect his grandson from that beast," Sakura said, her gaze fixed on the ambulance as it departed, a somber expression on her face.
Satoru looked at her and tried to offer some comfort, "Now, Now, you know we can't be in two places at once, Sakura. You did all you could. This is the world we live in. At least he had quick death"
"Yeah..let's head back," she said softly as they made their way back to the bustling city.
As they walked side by side, Satoru playfully cut in front of her, his head cocked to the side, "So long time no see, Sa-Ku-Ra. Have you been avoiding me?"
She sidestepped him and huffed, "Why would I be avoiding you? Don't flatter yourself, I've just been busy."
Satoru's tone turned more serious. "It's been a year since I've seen my favorite cherry blossom. You stopped answering my calls and messages, moved out of your apartment, and even Shoko couldn't find you. You disappeared for a whole year. Was it because of Suguru? Or because of our Ki-"
Sakura cut him off sharply. "No! It had nothing to do with you, Suguru or Jujutsu High. I had personal matters to take care of, and I needed space to focus on my training. I've been training hard this past year."
"I see… You could've told me instead of ghosting me," Satoru continued teasingly. "And I won't know how much you've improved unless we spar, like old times." He continued walking, resting both hands on the back of his head.
When he didn't hear her response, he looked to the side, down at his companion.
"Are you heading back to Kyoto tonight? Can I take you out to dinner? There's a nice restaurant with great dessert nearby-"
Sakura stopped and interrupted him once more. "I'd like to go back to my hotel room and rest. I appreciate the offer, but I'm too tired to catch up with you right now."
Satoru hesitated before saying, "Fine, fine. At least let me walk you back to your hotel."
"Okay, but only if you don't ask any questions. My hotel is just two blocks from here," she informed him.
They continued walking in silence, and in front of the hotel, Sakura finally spoke up. "Give me your phone."
With a raised white eyebrow, Satoru handed her his phone. She quickly entered her number and said, "I'll call you tomorrow morning for breakfast. Goodnight... Satoru," and disappeared into the hotel, leaving Satoru standing there somewhat dumbfounded at the swift exchange.
"What's gotten into her?" he wondered to himself as he headed back to his own hotel for the night.
Inside her suite, Sakura wasted no time undressing and stepped into the steaming shower, the water cascading over her like a cleansing torrent. As she felt the scalding embrace, a tumult of thoughts consumed her: I can't believe he really showed up… Can I manipulate Satoru's feelings like this? Can I control my own feelings for him? Even after a year of not seeing him... after my transformation... my heart still races when he looks at me. Will he see that I'm not the same Sakura…
After she emerged from the shower, she faced her reflection in the mirror. A purple diamond appeared in the middle of her forehead as black markings ran down her face throughout her arms and body. Her teeth had elongated into fangs, her eyes emitted a shimmering green glow, and her nails had sharpened into deadly points. The reflection staring back at her whispered a question that had haunted her for the past year:
"Father... did you transform me into a monster for the greater good?"
