The quiet and serene Kyoto station sat under the night's gentle blanket. It was a stark contrast to the bustling energy it often had during the day. Yasaka, the leader of the Youkai Faction, stood with her companions. The journey from the Underworld was tiring but vital.

The station's lights cast a warm glow on their faces as they disembarked from the train that had traversed the dimensional gap. The departure had been rushed, filled with urgency, but now they were back on their home turf.

"Finally we're home. I want to lie down on my comfy bed as soon as possible after all this tiring diplomacy things" With a sense of relief, Yasaka looked around at the familiar surroundings of Kyoto. She took in the peaceful night, a temporary respite from the recent chaos. They still had much to discuss and prepare for, but for now, they could appreciate the tranquility of their hometown.

Karasu Tengu, with his crow-like features and inquisitive demeanor, couldn't help but wonder about the absence of Naruto, who had become an essential member of their team.

"Yasaka-sama," he began, "I couldn't help but notice that Naruto didn't accompany us back. Is there a specific reason for that?"

Yasaka smiled gently. "Yes, there is. Naruto received an invitation from Rias Gremory, Satan Lucifer's little sister from Gremory Household. She invited him to spend the summer in Kuoh City, in the human world. It's a chance for him to relax and enjoy a change of scenery."

Karasu Tengu nodded in understanding. "I see. Well, I hope he has a good time there. He deserves some rest."

Yasaka agreed, knowing that Naruto had been through a lot recently. "Indeed, he does. We'll carry on with our responsibilities here in Kyoto. We can catch up with him later."

With that, they continued their journey through Kyoto station, each member of the Youkai Faction having their own thoughts and responsibilities in the days to come.

As Yasaka's car made its way through the quiet streets of Kyoto, she couldn't help but wonder how things were going in the Underworld after their meetings with the three Biblical Factions. There were challenges ahead, and she hoped that the alliances formed would bring stability and peace to their world.

The night was calm, and the stars shone brightly above Kyoto, casting a tranquil atmosphere over the ancient city. In the midst of this stillness.

WOOSH

As the convoy advanced through the quiet streets of Kyoto, a sudden and eerie change disrupted the peaceful night. A dense purple mist descended upon the road, quickly engulfing the guard car leading the way. Within moments, it vanished into the mist, leaving no trace behind.

"What's going on? What is this mist?"

Yasaka, who was in the second car, watched in astonishment as her car and the vehicle ahead vanished into the mysterious haze. Panic surged through the occupants of her car as they realized that something was terribly wrong.The thick purple mist created an otherworldly atmosphere, and uncertainty filled the air.

"What? The cars?!"

Karasu Tengu, who was in the third car, had quick instincts. He sensed danger as the convoy approached the ominous purple mist and ordered the driver to halt just before entering it. The sudden screech of brakes sent the car jolting to a stop, and they narrowly avoided being swallowed by the enigmatic haze.

"No way! Yasaka-sama dissapeared?!"

He leaned out of the car window, his crow-like eyes darting around the scene. The mist had swallowed the lead car and was steadily advancing toward them. The atmosphere was heavy with tension, and Karasu Tengu knew they had to act quickly to determine what was happening and to protect Yasaka.

Karasu Tengu's shock was evident as he realized the gravity of the situation. With Yasaka gone, he knew that he would have to take charge and make decisions in her absence. He swiftly climbed out of the car and addressed the guards.

"Listen up," he said, his voice resolute despite his internal turmoil. "We have to find Yasaka-sama. I need each of you to be on high alert. We don't know what we're dealing with here. We're going into that mist, but stay close, and keep your senses sharp. The safety of the Youkai Faction depends on this."

The guards nodded, some exchanging worried glances but also understanding the urgency of the situation. Together, they moved cautiously into the purple mist, their senses on full alert as they embarked on a mission to find and retrieve Yasaka.

"Sir, what should we do now? There's no sign of Lady Yasaka, as well as her energy. She's completely gone!" said the underlings. After 30 minutes, there's no results.

As the Youkai Faction's search for Yasaka yielded no results, the realization that they might need to seek help from the Jujutsu community became increasingly apparent. Karasu Tengu knew that their situation was growing dire, and Lady Yasaka's safety was paramount. They had an agreement of cooperation with the Jujutsu community, and this was a situation that required their expertise.

"Contact Gakuganji-san now. He and his students currently are not in Kyoto. They are in Tokyo. They are the only ones who can help us in times of emergency like this" Karasu Tengu made the tough decision to contact the Jujutsu community and request their assistance in finding Lady Yasaka. It was a step they had to take to ensure her safety and the stability of the Youkai Faction. With heavy hearts and a sense of urgency, they sent out a plea for help, praying that Yasaka would be found unharmed.

From an eerie night at Kyoto station, the setting shifts to a big mansion in the morning.

The blonde sorcerer had a moment of disorientation when he woke up in an unfamiliar room. However, as he took in his surroundings, he recognized that he was at Issei's mansion in Kuoh City. This place had been generously provided to Issei by Sirzechs as a token of gratitude for his services to the Underworld.

It was morning, and Naruto was reminded of Rias's invitation to spend the summer here. This was a much-needed break after the recent chaos in the Underworld. He decided to get up and explore the mansion to see what the day had in store for him.

RINGING

Naruto, still in the process of getting dressed, received a call on his phone. When he saw that it was Satoru on the other end, he couldn't help but wonder why the strongest sorcerer was calling so early in the morning. With a sense of curiosity mixed with a bit of concern, he answered the call.

Naruto was puzzled by the urgency in Satoru's voice. He questioned, "Gojo-sensei, why the rush this early in the morning? What's going on?"

Satoru's reply was brief and to the point, "Naruto, there's an emergency. I need you in Tokyo as soon as possible. I'll explain everything when you're here."

Naruto nodded, understanding the seriousness of the situation. "Alright, I'll get there as quickly as I can"

Satoru provided him with the necessary details and emphasized once more, "Hurry, Naruto. It's crucial."

With determination, Naruto agreed and hung up the call. He quickly finished getting ready, prepared for the unexpected journey back to Tokyo.

As Naruto descended the stairs with his bag packed, the members of the Gremory household looked at him with curiosity. Rias, Akeno, and the others wondered if he was leaving already, but they couldn't understand why he was in such a hurry.

"Naruto? Why do you look like you're in a hurry? Do you want to go home now? At least have breakfast first," said Issei.

"Yeah, I've made a lot of toast for us" Asia added.

Naruto gave them an apologetic smile. "Sorry guys, I've got to head to Tokyo immediately. My Sensei just called; there's some kind of emergency. I'm sorry I can't stay for breakfast."

"My my, at least bring this bento. You know, there's no good food on the Kuoh station," said Akeno, handing a box of bento to Naruto. "For you, Onii-chan" Koneko handed over a package full of snacks. "Thank you, Shirone" he stroked her hair.

Rias, understanding the urgency in his tone, nodded in agreement. "Of course, Naruto. Please take care and let us know if you need anything. Stay safe."

With a quick nod, Naruto hurried out of the Gremory mansion, ready to face whatever awaited him in Tokyo. "Thanks guys!"

Naruto swiftly made his way from Issei's mansion to Kuoh Station. The journey to Tokyo wasn't overly long, taking approximately an hour on the high-speed bullet train. Known for its exceptional velocity, the bullet train would help him reach his destination swiftly.

In a room that emanated a strong traditional Japanese ambiance at Tokyo Jujutsu High, an assembly of distinguished figures in the realm of Jujutsu sorcery gathered. They had come together to discuss an incident that had just unfolded within the walls of Tokyo Jujutsu High.

The attendees included Yoshinobu Gakuganji, an esteemed Jujutsu high-ranking authority and the principal of Kyoto Jujutsu High. Beside him was Iori Utahime, an instructor at Kyoto school, known for her expertise in mentoring. On the side of Tokyo, they were represented by Masamichi Yaga, the institution's principal, a steadfast leader in affairs.

Gojo Satoru, the unparalleled and enigmatic sorcerer, and revered instructor at Tokyo Jujutsu High, was a dominant presence within the gathering. Nanami Kento, an accomplished Grade 1 sorcerer with a stern demeanor, and Mei-Mei, another respected Grade 1 sorcerer, renowned for her money-hunger, were also present.

Lastly, there was Ijichi Kiyotaka, the assistant director at Tokyo school, known for his meticulous approach to administration. Together, these pillars of Jujutsu sorcery were poised to delve into the perplexing incident that had gripped their institution.

Gakuganji, his normally stern face marred by frustration, was the first to speak. "This is utterly frustrating. I thought the Goodwill Event was strenuous enough, but these recent incidents are pushing our resources to the brink."

Utahime nodded in agreement, her voice laced with concern. "The confrontation during the Goodwill Event could have resulted in a catastrophe. We were fortunate to come out of it relatively unscathed."

Yaga's gaze shifted from his cup of tea to the group. "What worries me is this sudden disappearance. If something has happened to Yasaka-dono, it could spark a conflict in the Youkai Faction"

Satoru, leaning casually against the wall, pushed off and addressed the assembly. "We can't afford that. Not with this new threat we've sensed from that invitation to the game."

Nanami interjected, his deep voice rumbling. "Gojo-san is right. We need to maintain unity among us, but we also have to get to the bottom of these issues. The disappearance of Yasaka-dono, in particular, requires immediate attention."

Mei-Mei, her eyes closed, spoke casually. "I agree. We can't overlook any possibilities. The situation is escalating, and we need to be prepared. I'm ready to go to Kyoto to help them. My crows will definitely be very useful. Well, as long as the pay is appropriate."

Ijichi cleared his throat, raising a pertinent point. "The question is, how do we handle this? Any leads on what could be causing these disruptions?"

Their conversation was a reflection of the deep concern that enveloped the room. The peace that had been precariously maintained was now under severe threat.

Gakuganji addressed the assembly, his tone unwavering. "Given the urgency of the situation, I propose that we send the Kyoto students to return to Kyoto immediately to assist in the search for Yasaka-dono. Utahime, could you coordinate this?"

Utahime nodded. "Of course. I'll make the necessary arrangements to get our students back to Kyoto as soon as possible."

Yaga spoke next, supporting the decision. "In situations like this, the divisions between our schools must be set aside for the greater good. I'll also send the Tokyo students to assist in any way they can."

Satoru, the enigmatic figure of the group, added, "Once we have Yasaka-san back, we can focus on the threat posed by those curse users. But this situation must be resolved first."

Nanami, ever the pragmatic one, summarized the group's consensus. "So, we're in agreement. We'll work together to ensure her safety and maintain the peace."

Their commitment to a common goal was evident, even in the face of the mysterious threats that loomed in the Jujutsu world.

The Lost Soul Aside

The setting changes to a training ground at Tokyo Jujutsu High, an expansive area with a lush green field and a well-maintained athletic track. It's a place where Jujutsu sorcerers can hone their physical abilities, practice combat techniques, and refine their cursed energy control. On this sunny day,two young men are engaged in an intense sparring session. They move with grace and precision, demonstrating their martial arts skills and control over their cursed energy. Their strikes and defenses are a testament to their rigorous training.

Sitting under the shade of a nearby tree, a young woman and a man watch the sparring match with keen interest. They both wear the distinctive uniforms of Jujutsu High. The girl's eyes are focused on the combatants, her expression serious as she analyzes their moves. The man beside her observes with a hint of amusement, occasionally offering his insights into the fight.

BUGH

BREAK

The scene is a reflection of the dedication and passion of the students at Tokyo Jujutsu High, where training is a way of life and each moment is an opportunity for growth.

"Good job, brother! Keep going! Balance the output and input! Let your cursed energy flow!"

"Yes sir!"

Yuji and Aoi's sparring match is a true showcase of their physical prowess. Yuji, with his smaller body but incredibly well-toned physique, moves with agility and speed. He expertly evades Aoi's powerful strikes, using his agility to stay one step ahead.

Aoi, a grade 1 sorcerer, possesses tremendous strength and combat skills. Despite the size difference, Yuji holds his own, countering with precise strikes and exploiting any opening he can find.

As they exchange blows and grapples, their determination to improve and become stronger is evident. It's not just a physical battle but a testament to their resolve as Jujutsu High students.

Nobara sighed, casting a somewhat exasperated look at the intense sparring match. "Those two never know when to take a break, do they, Fushiguro?"

Megumi, ever the composed one, nodded in agreement. "It's their way of dealing with things, I guess. Training is their release."

She leaned back against the tree, still watching them. "But seriously, after what happened yesterday, you'd think they'd want to rest." Megumi shrugged slightly. "It's their choice, Kugisaki. Let's just hope they don't push themselves too far."

Nobara couldn't help but smirk. "They're like a couple of idiots sometimes, but they're our idiots." Megumi smiled in agreement. "Our idiots indeed."

VROOM

Megumi's eyes followed the source of the sound, and he squinted, wondering who had just arrived. "Someone's here," he remarked, a trace of curiosity in his voice.

Nobara, ever inquisitive, glanced in the same direction. "Hmm, I wonder who it is. Don't tell me it's another troublemaker."

Megumi's expression remained calm. "I hope not. We've had enough excitement recently. Let's see." As the car got closer, Megumi couldn't help but become a little more curious about the unexpected visitor.

Megumi's eyes widened as he recognized the newcomer. "Naruto," he muttered, his voice tinged with surprise. He hadn't expected his former training buddy from Satoru's tutelage to appear here.

Nobara, on the other hand, looked a bit puzzled. "Who's that?" she asked, turning her attention to Megumi. The surprise still evident in his voice. "That's Naruto. He's a grade 2 sorcerer from Kyoto, and he's quite strong. We used to train together under Gojo-sensei."

"Eh? He's from Kyoto? Then why didn't he join the group of other Kyoto students?" Nobara is getting more and more curious. "I don't know, but Gojo-sensei said he had a fairly important duty," replied Megumi, standing up from his seat to greet his old friend.

Nobara nodded, now understanding the situation. "I see. Well, it's always interesting when someone new shows up. Let's see what he's up to."

Megumi greeted Naruto with a friendly nod and a hint of humor. "Hey there, Naruto-senpai. It's been a while. What brings you to our lovely school?"

Naruto smiled warmly, recalling their training days under Satoru. "Hey, Megumi. I'm not quite sure myself. Got a sudden call from Gojo-sensei saying I needed to come to Tokyo. Must be some kind of mission, I guess. And please drop the 'Senior'. It makes me feel old"

Nobara chimed in, her curiosity evident in her tone. "Mission? What's going on?"

Naruto briefly explained, "I'm not entirely sure, but I think it's something serious. They're probably briefing me soon."

Megumi scratched his head. "Well, if you're here, it's probably important. We're in the middle of training, but I guess we can spare some time to help if needed."

Naruto grinned, appreciating their willingness to assist. "Thanks, you guys. And I'll find out more about what's happening as soon as possible." Naruto's concern deepened as he noticed the bandages on Megumi's cheek. "Hey, Megumi, what happened to your face? Are you okay?"

Megumi sighed, his eyes reflecting the intense battle they'd faced during the recent incident. "Ah, this? Just a little souvenir from the Goodwill Event. We had to deal with some pretty tough opponents. But I'm fine, thanks to Gojo-sensei."

"Huh? What happened?" Naruto couldn't hold back his curiosity.

Megumi explains that while the Goodwill Event was taking place yesterday, the school was suddenly attacked by unregistered special grade curse spirit and cursed users.

Naruto gasped in shock. He didn't expect that Jujutsu society would experience a terrorist attack, like what he experienced in Underworld. Now he began to understand that what Uraume said at that time was not a joke.

'This is really bad. Now what other shit are waiting for us in the future?' he thought.

Naruto nodded in understanding. "Sounds rough. Glad you're okay. I'm here now, so if you need any help or support, just let me know."

Nobara interjected with a smirk. "Don't mind him. Fushiguro likes showing off his scars."

Megumi chuckled, slightly embarrassed. "That's not true, Kugisaki. It's just that these scars remind me to stay vigilant."

Naruto laughed, appreciating their camaraderie. "Well, you're all doing a great job. I'll make sure to catch up and be ready for whatever's going on."

While they were chatting, Yuji and Aoi finished training and approached them.Aoi's deep voice rang out as he greeted Naruto, "Naruto, it's been a while. How's everything? Still causing a ruckus?"

Naruto grinned and gave Aoi a friendly pat on the back. "Of course, Aoi! You know me, always stirring things up. But I heard you're doing some intense battle here in Tokyo." Aoi flexed his muscles, showing off his brawny physique. "Well, someone has to keep the new recruits on their toes"

Naruto laughed, "Yeah, I guess so. But it's good to see some familiar faces here. We're all in this together, right?"

Yuji's curiosity got the better of him. "So, who's he? He seems pretty chummy with Aoi."

Megumi leaned in closer and whispered, "His name is Naruto. He is from Kyoto just like them. He's a grade 2 sorcerer and quite strong. But what's really interesting is he's mentored by Gojo-Sensei just like me before i got into this school"

Yuji's eyes widened. "Gojo-sensei's student? That's awesome! No wonder he's so confident. I should introduce myself properly." Megumi nodded. "Yeah, he's a good guy, and you'll learn a lot from him, Itadori"

As the morning continued, more students gathered at the training ground. Maki, a fierce combatant with an impressive record, arrived with her usual determined expression. Toge, the stoic student with the mysterious cursed speech technique, joined the group. Lastly, Panda, the enigmatic cursed corpse who could transform between panda, and gorilla forms, made his appearance.

The training ground buzzed with activity as the students greeted each other and went about their daily routines. Naruto, now surrounded by his fellow jujutsu sorcerers, felt a sense of camaraderie and purpose, even in the face of the unknown emergency that had brought him to Tokyo.

Maki, with her characteristic assertiveness, was the first to break the ice. She raised an eyebrow and spoke in her usual straightforward manner, "Naruto, where the heck have you been? We could've used your help yesterday. Things got pretty intense."

Panda, who had a more amiable demeanor, chimed in, "Yeah. We had a real brawl back there."

Toge, who communicated through the ingredients of Sushi "Salmon."

Naruto chuckled, feeling a bit embarrassed by the warm welcome and the teasing. "Sorry, sorry, guys. I got quite an important assignment in Kyoto a few days ago. I just got a call from Gojo-sensei this morning. But I'm back now, and I'll make it up to you all, I promise."

Maki grinned, playful vibes returning to the conversation. "Good to have you back, Blondie. We'll hold you to that promise."

Panda give a thumbs up, smiling, and Toge gave a nod of approval. It was clear that their bond as jujutsu sorcerers was strong, and Naruto's return was welcomed wholeheartedly.

As Naruto was getting reacquainted with his Tokyo friends, the Kyoto students, who had just finished their own training, approached with friendly smiles and waves.

Mai, ever cheerful, stepped forward with a grin. "Naruto, it's been a while! Everything okay?"

Miwa, always the composed one, nodded in agreement. "Yeah, we missed having you around."

Mechamaru, his robotic form clunking softly, gave a beep and said, "Welcome back, Naruto. Your timing's impeccable." Momo, as calm and collected as ever, joined in, "The more friends, more fun, right?"

Noritoshi, always the quiet one, offered a small nod and a hint of a smile.

Naruto's heart warmed at the warm reception from his fellow Kyoto students. "It's great to see you all again! Don't worry, everything's fine now. I'm back, and we'll face whatever comes our way together."

While the Tokyo and Kyoto students were chatting, Ijichi came in with a face that showed something serious. His sudden entrance caught the students' attention. His expression was grave, and it was evident that he had something important to share.

He spoke urgently, "I'm sorry to interrupt your reunion, but Principal Gakuganji has requested all of you to assemble in the auditorium immediately. There's a matter of great importance that he needs to discuss with everyone. Please, gather there as soon as possible."

The students exchanged concerned glances, recognizing the seriousness in Ijichi's voice. Without hesitation, they dispersed, heading towards the auditorium to hear the message from Principal Gakuganji.

Naruto, having just reunited with his friends and met the Kyoto students, couldn't help but wonder what this new emergency could be.

The Lost Soul Aside

.

The scene shifted from the bustling training ground of Tokyo Jujutsu High to a serene wooden villa nestled in the midst of a tranquil lakeside forest. In this idyllic setting, the only sounds that filled the air were the gentle rustling of leaves, the melodious chirping of birds, and the occasional soft lapping of water against the villa's foundation.

The villa, with its traditional Japanese architecture, featured wooden sliding doors and large windows that framed breathtaking views of the calm lake and the lush forest that surrounded it. A sense of tranquility enveloped the place, making it the perfect location for a peaceful retreat away from the bustling city.

Yet, despite the serene surroundings, the villa had become a meeting point for important figures in the supernatural world to discuss pressing matters and make crucial decisions that could influence the balance of power between these factions.

The unconscious Yasaka lay in the center of the room, her usual vibrant aura subdued in her current state. Facing Yasaka, in a position that indicated they were overseeing the situation, stood the members of the Hero Faction. Cao-Cao, with The True Longinus spear resting on his shoulder, maintained a calm and confident demeanor.

The other members of the Hero Faction, each possessing powerful Sacred Gears of their own, observed the scene with various expressions, from curiosity to determination. They had managed to accomplish what they had set out to do, but the repercussions and how they intended to proceed remained uncertain.

Cao-Cao leaned against the wall, his eyes focused on Yasaka's unconscious state. He spoke with a cunning smirk, "We've managed to acquire quite the prize here. The Youkai leader in her weakened state..."

Georg, chuckled darkly. "Indeed, the power she possesses is immense. She's the key to unlocking that door we've been searching for."

Siegfried, with his sense of honor, spoke up, "We must not forget the potential consequences of our actions. The Youkai Faction will undoubtedly retaliate once they discover Yasaka's missing."

Jeanne, the embodiment of righteousness, added, "We must tread carefully. We cannot afford to underestimate their strength or determination."

Heracles, the embodiment of brute force, agreed, "True, but we've come this far. We cannot afford to retreat now."

Connla, pointed out, "We should be prepared for a confrontation. But we also need to ensure that Yasaka's power serves our ultimate goal."

The Hero Faction faced a precarious situation. They had Yasaka, in their possession, but they also understood the risks involved. Their plan was set in motion, and the Hero Faction had no intention of slowing down. The fate of Yasaka, and potentially the fate of the entire supernatural world, was now in their hands.

Suguru, taking a sip of his coffee, said with a casual tone, "Remember, you're dealing with the Youkai Faction. They might not be as fragile as they seem. The Jujutsu Society will not take this matter lightly, especially given the alliance between the Youkai Faction and Jujutsu sorcerers. They are not to be underestimated. You should be prepared for their response."

The Hero Faction members exchanged uncertain glances. The situation was growing more complicated by the moment. They had successfully captured Yasaka, but they were now in the crosshairs of two formidable forces: the Youkai Faction and the Jujutsu Society. The path ahead was fraught with danger, and their actions would have significant consequences.

Suguru's words carried a sense of caution. While they had achieved their immediate goal by capturing Yasaka, the consequences and potential conflicts were now on the horizon. The Hero Faction needed to decide their next steps wisely, considering the power and resolve of both the Youkai Faction and the Jujutsu Society.

Cao Cao, known for his strategic thinking and leadership within the Hero Faction, turned to Geto Suguru with a hint of concern in his eyes. "Geto, you have a deep understanding of the Jujutsu Society, and now it seems we have to deal with the Youkai Faction as well. What do you suggest we do next?"

Suguru took a moment to consider the question. "Your primary objective is to harness Yasaka's power for your goals. You must maintain control over the situation. I propose you proceed cautiously, ensuring you don't provoke any further hostilities. As for the Jujutsu Society, you should prepare for their retaliation and...pray that He doesn't show up"

Suguru's mention of "He" piqued Cao Cao's curiosity. He leaned in slightly, his expression focused on the conversation. "Wait, who is this He you are referring to?"

Suguru's chuckle added an ominous tone. "When I say He, I mean Gojo Satoru," he revealed. Suguru's tone shifted, now laced with caution. "If you ever find yourselves facing him, it's not a battle you can win, even with all your powerful Sacred Gears. You'd be wise to run as far and as fast as you can."

Cao Cao and the Hero Faction members exchanged concerned glances. They were formidable fighters, but Gojo Satoru's reputation seemed to transcend their understanding of strength. They would need to proceed with utmost care.

The Lost Soul Aside

.

The auditorium at Tokyo Jujutsu High was filled with a mix of students from both Tokyo and Kyoto. Conversations buzzed throughout the room, and a sense of curiosity hung in the air. They had gathered here because of a significant announcement from Gakuganji. In attendance were Gakuganji himself, Yaga, Utahime, Satoru, and other important figures from both schools.

As the audience settled into their seats, the tension was palpable. This was no ordinary meeting, and the gravity of the situation was evident in the expressions of those present. They knew that something important was about to be revealed, and it was likely related to the recent incidents that had shaken the Jujutsu world.

In the front row, the students, including Naruto and Megumi, were seated with a mix of anticipation and unease. They had been called to the auditorium abruptly, and the urgency of the situation was evident in the eyes of their instructors.

The room fell silent as Principal Gakuganji stepped onto the stage, his stern and authoritative presence commanding attention. All eyes were on him, waiting for the announcement that would surely have a significant impact on their lives.

Principal Gakuganji began with a formal greeting, his deep voice resonating throughout the auditorium. He thanked the students for their presence, emphasizing the importance of their roles in the Jujutsu community.

"Thank you all for coming here today," he started, his words carrying a sense of gravity. "Your commitment to Jujutsu and your dedication to our community do not go unnoticed. Today, I have gathered you to address a matter of utmost importance."

His stern gaze swept across the room, locking eyes with students from both Tokyo and Kyoto, underlining the gravity of the situation.

"The recent events have reminded us of the challenges we face. Attacks from cursed spirits, confrontations with curse users, and the actions of those who threaten our world have left us at a crossroads. In times like these, it is essential that we come together and face these challenges as one united front."

The principal's words hung in the air, and the students exchanged glances. They knew that the incidents referred to were recent and concerning. The sense of unity and collaboration in the face of adversity was clearly a central theme in Gakuganji's address.

"I stand here before you today to announce a joint initiative between Tokyo Jujutsu High and Kyoto Jujutsu High. We will work together to ensure the safety and stability of our world, to protect both the ordinary and the supernatural."

Gakuganji's resolve was evident, and he looked around at the gathered students, making it clear that he expected their unwavering commitment to this initiative.

"I call upon you to stand as the future of Jujutsu, to take on these responsibilities, and to demonstrate the strength of our community."

He paused, and the silence was filled with a sense of duty and shared purpose. This was more than a simple announcement; it was a call to action, a declaration that they must unite to face the growing threats.

The students, now fully aware of the significance of this initiative, sat in rapt attention, ready to take on the responsibilities that lay ahead.

Principal Gakuganji paused briefly, creating a palpable sense of anticipation in the auditorium. His words were calculated, revealing the gravity of the situation.

"I have both good news and bad news," he began, and the room seemed to hold its breath, knowing that these tidings were bound to shape their near future.

"The good news is...Naruto, come forward" Gakuganji ordered. Naruto nodded respectfully then took a few steps forward, standing in front of the other students.

"We have witnessed exceptional dedication and valor from one of our own. His actions have been nothing short of heroic. His contribution in helping our alliance, the Youkai Faction, is my consideration in making this decision. In light of this, I have made a decision that goes beyond the ordinary path of advancement. I am proud to announce that Uzumaki Naruto has been promoted to Grade 1."

A wave of astonishment and applause washed through the students. The good news brought with it a sense of inspiration and achievement.

"Thank you very much, Gakuganji-gakucho! I am aware that with my current grade, there will be more challenges waiting for me. I promise I will do my best" Naruto bowed respectfully, accepting his grade promotion with pleasure.

Principal Gakuganji's announcement was met with a mix of relief and determination. Naruto's promotion to grade 1 through a special route was a testament to his contributions in assisting the Youkai Faction, and it marked a significant milestone in his journey as a jujutsu sorcerer.

Naruto received congratulationshis fellow students. They recognized his dedication and courage in the face of adversity.

"Congratulations, brother! You deserve it!" Aoi smiled with emotion.

"You have to treat us after this, Naruto!" Mai chimed in.

With their newly-promoted grade 1 sorcerer and the resolve to face this growing threat, the students of Tokyo and Kyoto Jujutsu High understood that they were united against a formidable enemy. Their unity would be their greatest weapon, and they were prepared to wield it with all their strength.

Gakuganji's voice carried a sense of urgency as he continued. "And now, for the bad news..."

"Yasaka-dono, our ally and the leader of the Youkai Faction, has vanished, right after she and her companion arrived in Kyoto at midnight. We do not know the circumstances surrounding her disappearance. But we do know that the Youkai Faction needs our help, and we must act swiftly."

The students, both from Tokyo and Kyoto Jujutsu High, listened in grave silence as the news of Yasaka's sudden disappearance struck them. Their alliance's leader vanishing in the dead of night was a grim sign of the troubles that had beset the Youkai Faction.

An atmosphere of concern and urgency filled the auditorium as Gakuganji continued.He looked at the students, their faces reflecting the gravity of the situation. "Her fate is intertwined with the Youkai Faction's stability, and by extension, the safety of our world. We must find her before any harm befalls her or the Youkai Faction."

The news of Yasaka's disappearance hit the gathered students like a bolt of lightning, especially Naruto. The concern and tension in the auditorium were palpable.
