2. Disturbance

Welcome back to chapter 2, this chapter is a bit longer than the last hope who reads this enjoys!

Thinking: "(hey you)"

Talking: "Yo"

Screaming angrily: "NANANNNNIIII"

Screaming: "HOOOWWWWWW"

"Log: July 2018, Aokigahara Forest"

"In the tree line above the forest"

"An unnamed apparition of potential Special Grade, Its curse womb was witnessed by several hikers."

"Due to the nature of this emergency, two Grade one sorcerers were dispatched to the seen."

Chapter 2: Disturbance

Sitting in the backseat of a Suv a tall, well-built man with blonde hair styled with a neat part. He has very thin eyebrows as well as small eyes that are covered by sunglasses, which have a unique frame where the arms of the glasses are non-existent leaving the glasses to rest on the bridge of his nose. Dressed in a full suit that consists of a blue dress shirt underneath a green tie with black spots splatter all over it, and a tan blazer with matching slacks and light shoes.

Looking to the right of him, he spots his mission partner a young woman with light peach skin and small, sharp dark brown eyes with thin eyebrows. She has long blue-tinted silver hair styled into two braids, one that covers her face and the other hangs behind her head down past her shoulders while wearing dark bodysuit with a skirt attached. On her phone typing away most likely accepting the wire transfer of funds for this mission, with her weapon leaned next to her.

Putting her phone away, she looks up to Nanami. "If this curse womb does become a special grade I'm leaving, they only paid me enough for a first grade." She says coolly

Nodding in agreement. "Mei-Mei, if it comes to that one of us will call Gojo to come and deal with it, considering the time frame from when it was spotted to now we should be able to exorcise it." Sighing he leans his head back hoping to be done with this soon enough.

Hearing the two passengers the driver ask them both a question. "I'm still somewhat new to this why is a special grade so dangerous that the likes of you two would flee and call Gojo-san."

Mei-Mei smirks. "Fine but that's going to be 71126.00 yen I will make sure you get the invoice, I'll make start from lowest than go up till we reach Special grade.

Grade four by a non-sorcerer standard can be easily kilt with wooden bat." Adjusting her legs she leans closer to the back seat of the driver. "Grade three, if you have a 9mm hand gun you will be fine. This is where the gap begins to widen, a Grade two you're lucky if you can kill it with a shotgun."

Adjusting her braid she pulls her phone out. "Grade one, a tank will fail trying to exorcise it. Special grade is the worst of them all, do you know what a cluster bomb is."

Glancing into the rearview mirror the driver eyes make contact with her. "Yes they are a devastating missile the military uses."

"Good that is correct, Special grades can be on even footing if not higher than a carpet bombing of cluster bombs."

Just imagining some monstrosity being able to survive or even withstand such a thing causes the driver to sweat profusely and tremble.

Leaning forward Nanami places opens his book. "That is the reason we call Gojo, he is the only one who can treat special grades as if they were grade four curses if not less." Folding his one leg over the other.

"I uh didn't expect it to be such a large difference from each grade, thank you for explaining." The driver's locks his attention on getting them to their destination.

-Scene change-

Arriving at the entrance closest to the curse womb spotting they all exit the car.

Mei-Mei looks back towards the driver. "I was informed you can make veils with special conditions."

"Yes I can Mei Mei-chan"

"Good allow it to let Nanami, and I to enter and leave whenever."

Nodding to both Grade one sorcerers the manager moves to set the veil. "Emerge from darkness, blacker than darkness. Purify that which is impure, allowing those blessed by a curse to move freely."

Finishing his chant a dark slime like substance forms in the sky growing to encapsulate the surrounding area. Happy with his work he smiles, hearing a ring he pulls his phone out. Unlocking his phone he clicks on the document that was available, seeing it his face adorns a blank look.

"(She really sent me an invoice for the explanation she gave in the car. I thought she was joking.)"

-Scene change-

Inside the now sealed veil both Grade one sorcerers look around to see only carnage, at least 10 bodies ripped into unrecognizable pieces. The trees covered in blood, the ground littered with more blood and severed body parts.

Coming up to one of the only recognizable body left Nanami reaches into their pocket and pulls out their wallet gaining access to the identity of the person laying before him. "(Hosuke Dai, good it's still here now at least someone can have some form of closure.)"

Mei-Mei seeing Nanami not moving, heads towards him. "I'll dispatch my crows from here so we can see what we're dealing with before encountering it."

Not waiting for a response Mei-Mei places her two handled battle axe down and activates her curse technique. Her innate technique grants her the ability to imbue crows with cursed energy and control them. She can control multiple birds at the same time and from a great distance. She can also share vision with the birds, allowing her to see what they see.

Her crows begin to scour the entire area, some flying above the tree line others below to maximize their hunt. Nothing was spotted for the next three minutes, still having the crows search until one by one her birds were being picked off leaving only one that's circling them.

"Nanami-san the curse is moving to our location from the east." Picking up her battle ax she readies herself "I suggest you prepare yourself it picked off each bird before it could be spotted."

Not one to be told twice Nanami pulls a blunt short sword with a wooden handle wrapped in a cloth with a splattered black dot design. Ready to engage the curse heading their way both face east.

Waiting they could hear the trees falling in the distance, their bodies tense waiting for combat. The noise suddenly dies, not even felling its curse energy anymore Nanami glances to Mei-Mei.

"Mei Mei-san please use your bird to take a look, this time higher up hopefully it won't be able to reach it."

Doing so she shares her vision with her last remaining crow, before she could issue instructions to the crow she sees something behind them. "Behind us" Both spun to see the curse that they are after. Half spider, half woman the upper half shows a disheveled looking woman with blood splattered on her face with no eyes and a mouth forming on the entire torso vertically. The bottom half a grotesque showing of a spider's body covered in eyes, its legs jagged like a sharp blade. Behind it they can see the remains of a person in a sack of webs.

They see the spider curse mouth jut into a maniacal smile, moving its human arm it pulls something out of the web carcass. Seeing the items both Grade one sorcerers move to intercept.

"(Sukuna's finger why the hell does it have so many.)"

"(Four fingers, this means a 190% pay increase simply for being here.)"

Both sorcerers flare with curse energy striking out at their target. They failed to land their hits, both are wrapped in the curses webbing gaining a front row seat to its meal. The web being so thin you they both missed the trap it laid.

Consuming the fingers the creature starts flooding with curse energy, laughing at its caught prey.

Reacting Mei-Mei uses her last crow to perform an attack Bird Strike, using a Binding Vow on a bird, she forces them to commit suicide for her in return for exceeding the limits of the typically weak bird's cursed energy. Enhanced by high levels of cursed energy, the bird hurls itself at the enemy, hitting them with a devastating impact capable of exorcising a special grade with a single hit.

The curse dodges at the last second hopping to another web in the surrounding trees. The attack cuts through the web binding both sorcerers.

Landing both Mei-Mei and Nanami do so with grace attributed to being a Grade one. "I was hoping I could exercise it with my last bird and free us." She say to herself.

"Mei Mei-san can you see the threads?"

"Only a few, some are laced with more curse energy than others…"

"Making it harder to focus on all of them." Nanami undoes his tie wrapping it around his left fist.

"When we make contact with the ones that have less curse energy." She moves behind Nanami.

"It fills the webs with more curse energy, making it hard to break out of." He straightens his glasses

"Mei Mei-san with the consumption of four fingers this is something that we can no longer handle without either of us dying. We need to get out of the veil and call for Gojo."

Nodding in agreement they both move to exit the veil, not wanting to let its prey get away it lets out a high pitched shriek stunning the two sorcerers for a moment. Once the screamed died down they could see large cocoons forming randomly from midair, the ground, and the trees.

"Nanami-san there forming off the webs placed all over the forest, the ones we can and can't see." Finishing her sentence as they all explode loose with thousands of spiders. The spiders are no smaller than a dog, with some growing to the size of a panda.

Understanding what would happen if they stuck together the two sorcerer shot off in different directions, hoping to avoid getting overrun.

"(Whoever makes it out will call for Gojo)"

"(Whoever makes it out will call for Gojo)"

-Scene change-

Having separated Mei-Mei runs east slashing her way through the hoard of spiders. Ducking under two spiders that lunged at her from different directions, she swipes her axe cutting them in half. Swiveling 360 degrees she places her hand on the head of a larger spider and leaps over it. Switching the grip of her axe to a reverse grip she use her axe to cut through its body. Landing she cuts through any spider within three feet of her. Even more spiders begin to surround her!

She dashes toward the wall of the veil. "(I can't stop again, the twelve I just killed were a distraction for triple of that to form and catch up.)"

Choosing to not stop anymore she picks up the pace, she cuts through a spider descending down in front of her. Still not stopping she moves to the right to avoid another attack form the spiders, landing next to a tree were three more spiders emerge from behind it. Slashing her axe horizontally she cut the spiders and the tree in half with the grace of a ballerina dancer. Moving in the direction she just cut down, she makes haste towards the now visible exit.

She stops seeing a spider the size of a building formed between her and the exit, hear the same shriek from earlier she spins and sees the other spiders leave in the opposite direction. "(Good, Nanami-san must have done some damage to that thing if it called back all of its spiders besides this one.)"

Smirking she moves to engage the giant building sized spider, slipping past two of its legs she swiftly climbs up the backside of one leg reaching its torso. She stops at the joint that connects its leg to the body and slices through it. Hearing it writhe in pain she satisfied to see it doesn't' have instant regeneration. Continuing on her slicing spree she proceeds to cut off every single one of its legs till it falls to the ground.

The spider spews out a large web, capturing everything in the area even Mei-Mei. The giant spider collapses into twenty two more spiders.

She launches herself free before the closet spider can close its fangs. Gravity takes effect send her down into a pile of spiders, pulling her axe over her head she times her swing perfectly carving through five of the spiders. She lands on the back of another spider, using it like a trampoline she jumps flipping upside down, taking in the number of foes left. "15."

Landing right side up on another spider she swings her axe in a pendulum motion decapitating it. Using this spider as a launching board she meets the two more spiders slashing them into ribbons. Landing on the ground again.

Moving to engage the remaining 12 spiders she cuts the next spider to meet her into cubes with a single strike. Ducking under a lung from another spider, she grabs one of the legs and uses the spider's body as a hammer. Crushing three spiders with it now destroyed body, she pushes it into a spider to the right of halting its movement. She allows more to get closer, once within range she spins with her axe in hand cutting through five more spiders.

With five more spiders left she hurries to exercise them, moving forward for an underhanded slash he momentum is halted by a web that landed on her back foot. She is able to react in time throwing her axe towards the approaching spider, the axe found it target striking in the middle of the abdomen.

Ripping he leg out she runs and grabs her axe, using the handle of her box she blocks a strike from the spider's chelicerae. "(This ones stronger than the rest must be the leader of this group.)"

The remaining spiders crashed into her from each direction. A cloud of dust filled the area, a good distance away we see Mei-Mei with blood dripping out of a newly acquired wound curtesy of the spiders.

Having enough of this game she engages again, cutting through the one on the right she slices off a quarter of its head. Bating it away with the flat side of her axe she stuns the lead spider, giving her plenty of time to cut through the next two and appearing in front of the last spider.

Slicing off the leads legs the last spider becomes a stump similar to what happened to their combined form. With annoyed look she brings down her strike destroying the spider and the ground around her.

Moving to the veil Mei-Mei makes her exit, grabbing her phone she press on Gojo's contact information and calls him. "Oh, I do hope Nanami-san is okay."

Listening to the ringing she starts to sway she looks to her arm, to see its purple with web marks growing on it.

"How careless of me." she collapses with a thud. The phone stops ringing at the same time leaving Gojo to hear the noise of Mei-Mei collapsing.

"Mei-Mei… Mei Mei…Mei-Mei." Not hearing her answer Gojo hangs up the on his end.

-Scene change-

5 Minutes Earlier

Seeing Mei-Mei head east Nanami decided to go west then south to make it to the exit. "(If it wasn't for the manager we be stuck in here with that monster.)"

Moving at speeds that would put Usain bolt to shame he bobs and weaves all the spiders around him, and cutting the ones in half with his blunt sword. Seeing a large web meant to entrap him he brings his sword down completely shattering the web.

A jagged leg enters his view, flipping back he foot hits the jagged leg blocking from connecting with his body. Gaining space from the special grade he lands in a crouch, still seeing the

"(It's still a relativity young curse, it shouldn't be able to harness all of its power yet." Sighing. "Guess I'm buying time for Mei-Mei.)"

Standing Nanami moves towards the Special grade. "My innate technique can divide a target with ten lines and forcibly create a weak spot at the ratio point of seven to three. The target's lines don't have to match up with the target's length or wingspan. I can freely choose which part to divide, including the subjects, head, torso, arms, and legs. This technique is also applicable to non-living objects.

Done explain his technique his curse energy rises. Revealing ones hand is a binding vow commonly used by sorcerers, by divulging how their curse techniques works it allows for maximum output of curse energy for their next attack.

The special grade moved, vanishing behind Nanami striking out with one of its jagged claws. Nanami somersaults forward out of the way of the attack. The special grade doesn't give him second to breathe already upon him it crashes down in the ground causing spider web cracks to form.

Dodging the slam attack Nanami is forced to move his right shoulder back as the spider leg shoots out from underground. Moving back, left, right, ducking down he does all this to dodge the multiple elongated legs attack him from a distance. With the smoke starting to dwindle he can see the Special grade not moving, but watching him as it controls its legs.

Deciding he has to go on the offensive Nanami cuts through the next legs that attack him. Moving toward his target he hacks through the remainder of legs. Seeing critical points pop up all over the spider body, Nanami chooses the largest once and slashes through the left side of its body.

Wailing in pain the curse has a look of hatred etched into its many eyes, it lets out another shriek. Calling every spider it summoned and more towards them, the special grade sits in the back while healing itself.

Looking around he sees more spiders surround him. "Hopefully this allows Mei-Mei to escape and contact Gojo."

Looking at his watch he brushes his hair back with his hand. "I have a time based binding vow, one that limits the amount of curse energy I can wield while on the clock. Once going beyond that time, my curse energy swells to a great degree granting me a boost. I'm able to exert 120% of my maximum power"

The Hoard swarms him, wading through the waves of spiders Nanami bisects all that got in his way, as he slowly makes his way towards the Special grade. "(The spider shikigami appear to be grade two, fodder that wins through sheer quantity.)"

Continuing to mow through the spiders Nanami realizes he's about to be overrun, he decides to use his last ability Collapse. An extension of his curse technique that creates a weak point in the surrounding environment, allowing him to destroy it with a single blow.

Bisecting the closest shikigami, Nanami jumps into the air pulls his left hand back, the tie around his fist glows blue. Punching through a shikigami and landing the hit on the ground causing a massive hole to form underneath him swallowing everything within a fifty meter diameter. Using the falling spiders as a foot holds, he jumps to the opposite side of the hole away from the special grade.

Taking a breath he looks at the damage he has sustained, cuts all over his body and a big gash on his back.

"(I need to escape, I'll be overrun by these damned spiders. Once the special grade joins back in… no I shouldn't think that. I just need to run one more collapse and I should have enough time to get away.)" The Special grade curse jumps over the now pit charging up nothing but pure curse energy in its mouth. This next exchange will settle this bout between Nanami and it.

The attack never came, as from the pit a blue scaled black horned dragon rose from whole in the earth similar to a great white shark catching its prey. The dragon curse consumes the curse whole, causing the remaining shikigami to disappear.

The dragon rounds, and turns its attention to Nanami.

-Scene change-

2 Minutes Earlier

Underground you can see a sleeping dragon coiled a round a human sized purple cocoon, not worried about the world above him. Until a rock lands on his snout causing him to open his eyes, looking up he sees the top of the underground cave collapse.

Reaching out and grabbing the purple cocoon the dragon was guarding. Mizuchi ascends to the exit, he sees rocks and large spiders falling in his directions from the newly formed hole. Becoming more irritated at the danger be falling the cocoon. He flies up faster eventually exiting through the giant hole that destroyed its temporary home.

The light filled his eye, he sees a Human spider like curse. Opening his mouth he consumes the curse on instinct getting rid of a potential threat. Sensing another presence in the area he turns to eliminate it.

-Scene change-

Nanami wasn't sure what was happening anymore. Sent on a mission to combat a possible special grade, if confirmed was to flee and call for Gojo. Confirming it to not only be a special grade but one in possession of not one but four of Sukuna's fingers. Now another special grade just ate it, literally ate it like a simple snack. It ate a special grade with four of Sukuna's fingers, this is not a job for a single first grade even for one that is on Nanami's level.

The black horned dragon extends his tail swinging it down his tail wanting to crush his new target, surprise fills his gaze his tail was split in half precisely. He looks at the weapon the sorcerer used. "(A blunt sword that cut through me without hesitation. He's weaker than the curse I just ate, but has a better grasp on his technique which is going to make this annoying.)" Mizuchi heals himself and moves back to place the cocoon down behind him.

"(Of course it has advance regeneration.)" Nanami readies himself. He was unprepared for the dragon's size to change, it shrunk down to the size of a tiger and moved. Appearing with its claws swiped out Mizuchi slashes, leaving a huge slash on his chest, followed by a tail swipe to the side sending him skidding into a tree.

Nanami looks up to see the dragon inhale, reinforcing his body with his body with curse energy he moves just in time to dodge a boiling pressurized beam water. Trying his best to avoid it he weaves in and out of trees using them as cover to disguise his movements. Once the beam subsided he moved out of the forest rushing the dragon.

Mizuchi sees him in fact he sees him all too well now, firing his technique "Searing Pressure' shook the webs out of his head. If it wasn't for the fact that he just woke up this sorcerer who tried to cause harm to Ryu would already be dead.

Reacting even faster now he completely vanishes from Nanami's strike. Appearing above him wrapping him with his tail and throwing him into the sky. Appearing above the falling sorcerer Mizuchi swells in size becoming large enough to opens his mouth showing Nanami each razor sharp teeth that resides in his within.

Closing his mouth he feels nothing, no bones, no blood not a thing. He looks around wondering where the sorcerer went. "(He vanished, must have outside help. He would have done this already if he could.)"

"At least 4 times bigger than Suguru's rainbow dragon." He rounds on the new voice he hears behind him. A man wearing a blind fold covering his eyes pushing his snow white hair in an up position, wearing a high collared jacket with pants to match.

"So you're the reason why he escaped."

"Hai that would be me." Not giving anything a way he contemplates a curse being able to communicate. "(He's a cursed spirit but is able to communicate clearly. Paired with the sheer amount of curse energy an unregistered special grade.)" Not worrying about the newly found special grade he's hit with the dragons curse technique "Searing Pressure"

Hearing a pained screamed Mizuchi cuts the beam off waiting for the mist to deform he hears laughter sees that he's unharmed.

"You thought that did something, Ahh I needed that thanks." He wipes an imaginary tear away from his blindfold. "Please do your best to keep me entertained."

-Scene change-

The first time in his life that this has happened, the first time he ever felt fear, a deity curse like himself knew not what that was till this century. When he first formed he was absolute what he thought happened, what he disliked was annihilated by him or those who sought his favor. Eventually becoming bored with it all realizing that those like him had no rational thought, there was no enjoyment in conquering the weak so he slept for millennia.

Even being attacked he didn't feel fear only annoyance at them catching him off guard and landing a debilitating blow, they were paid with death how those curses even found him was astonishing. This is, ah it was almost comical how far he's fallen from power. "(I'm going to die)"

Mizuchi was blasted back with some type of red sphere sending him crashing into the ground, he was rattled never before in his life has he been rattled to this extent. A human, could take any and all attacks he threw not even having the faintest scratch on him, how unfair.

Getting pulled from the ground by a now blue sphere he can hear the human sigh.

"Ahh was hoping for entertainment, all I got was disappointment. Well you are sturdy enough to survive both red and blue, hmm you're stronger than any curse I've faced so far." Smiling. "I haven't used this in a while, but I'm in a hurry so this will have to do."

Moving his open left palm he closes his right hand between his left fingers. "Cures technique amplification: Blue"

"Cures technique Reversal: Red"

Not able to move after taking two direct hits from his technique the only thing Mizuchi can do is wait. "So this is it. One request don't destroy the cocoon, you be thoroughly entertained by who's inside!"

Hearing the curses last words left Gojo in a state interest and confusion. "Person?"

Yet Mizuchi couldn't hear what sorcerer said, only hearing the noise that brilliant purple sphere emitted before it reached him.

-Scene change-

Being thrown into the air Ryu smiled brightly as he landed on Mizuchi's back. "Oi Mizu-ni everything okay you disappeared for a bit."

"Of course everything's okay Ryu, you're going to be fine." Mizuchi smiles sadly.

"What are you talking about" Ryu climbs off his back and move to be face to face.

"Sorry kid I bit of more than I can chew from the looks of it, that doesn't matter you remember what I taught you."

"Of course." Tears start to prickle at Ryu's eye lids, fighting to stop them from falling.

"You remember the plan as well." Seeing Ryu nod Mizuchi chuckles. "Now no tears we've trained and prepared for this, I left you one last thing to help you and remember me." Turning towards Ryu soul they both see a difference the dragon surround Ryu's soul is being absorb doubling the size of his soul. The Gem changes color, now being a bright cyan blue matching the color of his hair. His soul takes on attributes of Mizuchi, engraved on both sides of his soul is a blue scaled dragon roaring.

"Good it's done, this will leave you a little surprise hope you enjoy it." Moving forward he places his paw on the tops of Ryu's head. "After you kill those two bastards I want you to find a reason to live, Also the sorcerer that got me don't hate him we all have a job to do and the strong do what they want. You'll be in a position like that one day you're both the same."

With extreme passion "SO BECOME THE STRONGEST RYU, AND SHOW THE WORLD THE LAST HAJIME!"

Wiping the tears from his face he puts his fist out, Mizuchi responds doing the same. "Mizu-ni, don't worry I already have one. I'll see you later." He finishes with a bright smile as Mizuchi begins to disperse into black smoke.

-Scene change-

Gojo looks at the work of his technique Hollow Purple and the massive landscaping job it just did. Everything in its path was disintegrated besides four red fingers. Landing he grabs them and shoves them into his pocket.

"The higher ups are going to be annoyed with this, ha ha." He couldn't help but laugh thinking about those old idiots reaction. "Time to go."

Gojo vanishes appearing where he left both Nanami and Mei-Mei. The manager is shocked by his sudden arrival. Before even being able to say a word Gojo crouches and forms a circle of curse energy, moving to the front of the circle he grasps both his hands together and closes them.

The manager begins to freak out. "WHAT HAPPENED WHERE THEY GO?"

"It's a bit rough, but it's the fastest way, ah and don't forget to clean up and write the report see you later." Gojo vanishes as well leaving behind the manager.

"Why did I pick this job?" The manager moved to do exactly what Gojo said.

-Scene change-

1 Day Later

Gojo just finished asking Shoko to leaves Yugi's confirmed death unaltered, after coming back to life so suddenly in front of him as well as Shoko and Ijichi. Raining in his wrath wanting nothing more than to kill the higher ups for this plot, but it failed so he'll do the next best thing.

He'd wait and train Yugi himself, giving Yugi time so he could gain the minimum amount of power needed to protect himself as well as information on the Jujutsu world as a whole. He will reintroduce him to the Jujutsu world in a month and half's time for the exchange event.

Before meeting up with Yugi he walks into a room littered in seals, where the cocoon was placed after the ordeal yesterday. "(To many things happening for them to be a coincidence.)" Taking a seat across from the cocoon he analyzes it with his six eyes.

"(This cocoon is odd, the quantity of curses energy coming from this is easily first grade bridging on special grade. Plus that dragon said person, not curse why would a person be in there?)"

The cocoon started to shift from blue and black, causing Gojo to stand up and watch as more and more light start to flow outwards form the cocoon and its curses energy flared. Then Gojo heard a crack and he was blinded for one second by a burst of light, his vision coming back instantly due the quality of his eyes.

"A boy?"

That's what he saw a child an unconscious child, who looked to be around the age of his first years. Cyan blue hair, with three lightning shaped lines under each eye. A tall muscular build for someone in his age range, with tattered cloths covering his form. "(That dragon wasn't kidding, if he isn't vengeful we may just get a new first year.)"

Looking at the boy he sees him stir and his eyes shoot open to show purple colored eyes.

"Umm, hey you awake." The boy instantly jumped back hitting the wall on accident.

"(Doesn't look like he knows how to control his strength.)" Smirking he walk up to the boy. "What's your name?"

Understanding was shown in his eyes. "Hajime Ryu."

"How would you like to be a student at Jujutsu high?"

"What?"

"Become a student."

"No."

"Good let's get you some…no? Why?"

"You know why, he asked me not to but I can't. You're stronger than Mizu-ni so beat me then, first to draw blood will have to listen to the other. We can make it a binding vow." Ryu puts his hands up waiting.

Shrugging not seeing an issue. "First, why were you sealed in there?"

"Mizu-ni, saved my life when my village was attacked, and that was healing me."

"Ahh, I didn't realize. That matches the tattered clothes, so he was helping you. For what it's worth I am sorry."

A confused expression was the only thing on Ryu's face. "You're sorry?"

Gojo bowed a very rare moment Gojo apologized, this isn't something anyone could say they saw. It looked awkward honestly like he hasn't actually done that before.

"You haven't actually apologized to anyone before have you?" He moves out of his stance into a lax stand.

"That obvious huh, no I haven't but I am sorry that it…."

"Okay enough of that already I get it I have people I need to kill, Mizu-ni even said were the same. Do you accept the binding vow or not."

Not moving Gojo smirks. "I accept you sure are quick to lose huh. Alright follow me we can't fight in here. Actually wait right here." Gojo walks out of the room, he comes back in with a hoodie and sweats.

"Here get dressed, I'll be outside waiting" Gojo tosses Ryu the clothes and exits the room.

Finished changing Ryu leaves the room and begins to follow Gojo, he was lead to a secluded field a good distance away from any buildings. Gojo stopped and turned to him. "You sure you want to do this I am the strongest."

"Yeah yeah, you make it seem like you're that Gojo kid with limitless and the six eyes I heard about a while ago."

Not responding to that last comment. "Okay then you can start."

Okay with being underestimated he flashes behind Gojo actually impressed by his speed. "(Would be the fastest first year by a large margin. His curse energy gives him away even a 3rg grade could see where he charging it, as well as the excessive waste)"

Ryu throws a spear hand to Gojo's throat hoping to crush his throat first, lightning floods out his hand unto the strike. Feeling the hit he was confused when no damage was done to his target. "Wait, what are yo...?" Gojo pulled down his blindfold.

Moving his right hand next to face his middle finger wrapped around his pointer finger. "Domain Expansion: Infinite Void"

Hearing this he tried to react, but failed the world went white around him then in an instant streaks of color filled his vision purple, blue, white, red while this was happening random images passed through his mind. An owl, a sand dune, then the color stop and the world settled. He was in space with a sphere ahead of Ryu, in the epicenter of that sphere was a black hole. Splatters of white then painted themselves in this void of space.

Not able to see anything but see everything.

Feeling everything!

Stuck not able to move from the information overload!

"(Do something)"

"(I need to focus my thoughts, I need to activate my domain!)" Doing this he accidently used his curse energy to flood his brain, due to the unique form of his curse energy a small burst of lightning came in contact with his brain. It quickened his thought process tenfold allowing him move for a second then freezing in place again.

"Impressive you're the first thing that has been able to move once being captured in infinite void, while not touching me." Gojo cancels the Domain and watches as Ryu falls still unable to move

Landing he walks over to the frozen form of his soon to be new student. "But you really shouldn't do that."

Not being able to move anything still he shoots Gojo a questioning look. "Ah, you don't even know what you did. You flood your brain with curse energy and from that, as well as the strike you threw earlier. Your curse energy isn't normal it has the properties of lightning, which you probably know already. You used that property on your brain which allowed you to process more info than normal allowing that minor movement. It kind of feels familiar"

Finally gaining feeling he is about to get up he's stands only to get knocked back down hard from a punch from Gojo coughing up blood on impact. "If you're not careful you won't have to worry about losing because you'll cook your brain before it can happen." He jabs a finger into the side of his head to extenuate the point.

Extending a hand to his student. "Now my student it's time to meet your classmate." Lifting his student up he smiles brightly. "From now on you can call me Gojo-sensei, come on."

"Hai Gojo-sensei." Following his new instructor again he connected the dots a second later after seeing his eyes and not being able to land an attack. "Ehhh, you're Gojo Satoru aren't you. Damn it that's cheating."

"No. You never asked, also why did you call me a kid when your fifteen year old brat." Letting lose a grin Gojo keeps walking leading Ryu towards their location.

"Ah, since you're my sensei, and I'll be working with you till I can defeat you I don't mind answering it. I mentioned my village being attacked and the cocoon was healing me. That was a very abridged version, my village was attacked by two people their names I don't remember; hell I don't really know what they look like anymore it's weird but if I saw them my soul would know."

Still following Gojo he realized they were taking a detoured path. "(Probably to avoid anyone seeing me.)"

"After coming into contact with them we engaged in battle resulting in my loss, as well as two very important people to me. That fight caused me to burn through my very soul for access to all my capabilities, I made a vow with myself and was going to die because of it."

Gojo walks into a building leaving the door open for Ryu, Gojo takes the lead again after Ryu enters and the walk up the nearest stair heading down.

"That was where I met Mizu-ni, he saved me. Due to a debt he owed to my Ji-chan for sparing him when he was found near my village. As your about to see I find binding vows to be a way to get things done, Mizu-ni and I made a vow he sacrificed part of his soul to heal mine. Which is why I was stuck inside of my cocoon, the process enhanced itself when Mizu-ni died he gave the rest of his soul to me finally freeing me."

"Humph, sounds like a movie plot. When did this happen by the way."

"Day after my 13th birthday, I think."

"Two years ago, then hmm I feel like I would have noticed something like that." Thinking back on anytime there could've been a huge output of curse energy. "Ryu what year were you born in."

Scratching his head before answering. "February 21st, 1992 why is that important."

Gojo paused, already completed the math to realize who he may be talking to. "What area was your village in?"

"Gifu Prefecture. Why is this so important?"

He turned to keep walking, Ryu continued follow despite all of the weird questions. "Because, that fight was felt from Kyoto to here. They assumed whoever to be the cause of it dead to the extreme output of curse energy, if you weren't dead the higher ups at wanted you to be so."

"What why?" Sweat started to drip down his face in nervousness. "(That would mean all of jujutsu would be after me!)"

"You're curse energy output spanned three prefectures then disappeared five to ten minutes later. This caused what's been named the Cursed Summer, after your sealing the curse energy still lingered making five major cities an unending warzone of sorcerers and curse spirts. Kyoto, Gifu, Nagoya, Tokyo, Kawasaki, Yokohama. Any small town around it was caught in the cross-fire as well, Ahh it was a tough year."

Shocked was etched into Ryu, he caused that, all of that was his fault. The amount of people who died because of him. His head kissed the floor in a fully submitted bow and apologized. "I'm sorry, I had no idea that would happen."

"Get up"

"Huh"

"Get up, if everyone knew what future ramifications would happen no one would do anything, its fine plus where here." Gojo points to the door next to him.

"Oh, okay cool." Conflicted he doesn't really know how to feel after what his new sensei said.

Entering a room he finds a clay haired colored boy who had what looked to be arrow shaped birthmarks under his eyes. Give him resemblance to that of a cat, he is wearing a blue hoodie and grey sweats, and looks to be around his age.

The boy waves to his teacher. "Gojo-sensei what took so long?" He eventually sees a boy enter in after Gojo. Pointing at him. "Who's that?"

Moving both his arms he gestures towards Ryu. "YUGI-KUN MEET YOUR NEW CLASSMATE AND TIME TRAVELER, RYU-KUN."

Stars instantly formed in his eyes at the prospect of meeting a time traveler. "YOU'RE A TIME TRAVELER WOW, AWESOME, COOL."

Looking at both Gojo and the now named classmate Yugi. "I'm not a time traveler what are you even talking about Gojo-sensei."

Gojo pulls his phone out and shoves it into Ryu's face. Looking at it his heart drops into his stomach "July 2018. Your lying you must have just changed the date on your phone."

"No, Yugi-kun show him your home screen." He unconsciously takes a step back.

"13 years, I was sealed for 13 years. It didn't even feel that long. They might already be dead, I won't be able to avenge my…" He went silent confusing Yugi, while Gojo was trying to let him process everything.

Ryu fist tightened rage filled his soul, it slipped causing the room to be field with his curse energy making Yugi shoulders fill heavy. Gojo walked up and karate chopped him in the head, bringing him out his rage. Nursing his head he looked up at Gojo. "What was that for?"

"Almost signaling to everyone that two people who shouldn't exist, exist. Yugi was pronounced dead yesterday, and from what you explained your something different yet similar to a special grade death painting curse womb. Both of you need to lay low, in fact that's why we're here training." Gojo spread both his arms apart in showman like way.

"Yugi make sure to pay attention, look to those two cans." Watching the cans he sees the green one get dented and fall over and then the orange one twisting itself.

"Green was hit with curse energy, orange was curse technique"

"I see, it all make no sense." Yugi finished with a serious look on his face

"Okay, Yugi think of curse energy as electricity we just can't use it so we made appliances that use electricity to give us different results. Like a vacuum and microwave, both use electricity but both do different things. So think of appliances as curse techniques.

"Green was just raw curse energy, but orange was done with me using curse energy to fuel my technique."

Bursting with even more energy Yugi becomes excited. "That means I'll unlock some technique that will make me invincible."

Ryu taps him on the shoulder. "Impossible Yugi, impossible."

"What."

"Yugi-kun, Ryu-kun is right all techniques are given to you at birth and are shown in childhood around 5-7 years old. You won't have one, roughly 80% of a sorcerers skill is natural born talent."

The moment Yugi heard these words he turned paper white and fell to the ground and mutters things about not being able to an assortment of different techniques.

Gojo looks at him on the floor. "(Eventually Sukuna's cursed techniques will be engraved into your body.)" He smirks thinking about Yugi's potential.

"Yugi even with what Gojo said, there was a person in my village that had no innate technique who reached grade one you'll be alright."

"Ryu-kun you really know what you're talking about, I'm giving you a promotion!"

"Promotion?" Ryu tilted his head at what was just said, still seeing Yugi squirming on the ground in sorrow,

"Assistant-sensei you have a grasp of things due to experience and circumstance's that only some third years have. You will be the one to guide your fellow first and second years on missions if they take a crazy turn."

Not even trying to argue with him, Ryu realized he'll just annoy himself trying to. "Hai Gojo-sensei." He says in a monotone voice,

Gojo turned to Yugi. "Will focus on your strengths not weaknesses, your top notch in close combat so will focus on imbuing your fighting style with curse energy. You'll be much better of this way, instead of trying to use shikigami which tend to be on the weaker end if not an innate technique."

Color returned to Yugi he tilts his head to look at Gojo. "I knew there was a reason the strongest wanted to train me."

"Get up."

Yugi does and stroke his chin. "I can already do that. I did it on the last mission with against special grade."

"Then try it." Moving his right hand up, he opened his palmed pointing to it with his left hand. "Hit me here. Not that you can."

Yugi stretches his arm with a small smile. "Don't be mad at me when you get hurt Gojo-sensei."

"Right, just hurry up." Yugi strikes out punching Gojo in his palm.

"Zero, Zero curse energy in that punch."

"How."

"You were most likely brimming with fear and in anger during that incident."

Ryu answers next "Negative emotions are the source of curse energy Yugi, so it would make sense you were able to conjure it up."

"Good Job assistant-sensei, I knew this would be an amazing idea." Gojo chest puffs out in pride

Hitting his fist into his hand like a gavel Yugi has a look of understanding. "So you have to be pissed all the time to use it, which make sense Megumi always seems a little pissed."

"Yes and no, today I will be training the both of you on how to access curse energy with the faintest spark of emotion. As well as managing how much you expend the one you'll be doing is exhausting."

Both Yugi and Ryu had a look of worry. Yugi voiced his concern first. "What are we going to do?"

"Watching movies?" Pulls six movies out from nowhere showing them to both Ryu and Yugi.

Ryu being skeptical of this. "We're going to train…. by watching movies?"

"Hai, from romances to corny comedy and terrifying horror for as long as you're awake. Of course you're not just watching movies you'll be watch them with these guys." Gojo pulls out two snoring stuffed animals that had boxing gloves on.

"What's with the cute but creepy do?"

"It's cute?"

Ryu makes an X sign with his arms. "No, it's not cute."

"Anyway, it's a cursed corpses from the principle."

"What does it do Gojo-sensei?" Yugi was answered with a gloved fist to his face.

Ryu snickered. "We have to keep curse energy running through them or else they wake up."

"That's not all, it tuned to make sure that there isn't too much waste either. Ryu It's set to faint level energy since I wasn't expecting you, this will work on the control even more. So both of you don't let your guard down, or else you'll get punched."

Moving to the pile of movies in front of the TV. "So what do you two want to start with?" Moving a specific movie up. "The main character is annoying, but she dies in the end."

"Spoilers, why don't we start with act...?" Yugi was not focusing enough, and the bear punches him in the face again.

Not being able to hold it back anymore Ryu falls to the ground laughing seeing this Yugi throws the bear on the ground.

Done laughing at the unexpected comedic duo Yugi and the Cursed Corpse, Ryu gets up. "Gojo-sensei can we start with action, I think that's what he was going to say."

"Sure I'll put on this action thriller about a mad bomber." Yugi and Ryu sit on the couch with their training partners. Yugi grabs a can of soda and starts to sip it when he is suddenly punched again, soda spilling all over the place.

"Yugi, you got to focus more." Ryu says as he looks to his fallen form.

"Why does it have to hit me while sipping soda?"

Leaning on a table against the wall, Gojo shakes his head. "Don't drink soda then."

"Blasphemy you always have soda and chips when watching movies."

"That's true." Gojo stands up from the table. "Okay, I have business to deal with, hang in there you two."

Holding back his partner from attacking him Yugi looks to Gojo with an annoyed looked. "Will this actually make me stronger?"

Ryu answers for him instead. "Yup Yugi, and considering I'm the strongest first year you should listen to me." Gojo turns around after hearing this and heads towards the exit, he stops to looks back at Yugi gaining the attention of both students.

"Oh right, did you talk to Sukuna while you were dead?"

"Talk."

"When he fixed your heart, did he propose any conditions or contracts?"

"I think we did talk about something but I don't remember."

"WAIT! Did you say Sukuna as in Ryomen Sukuna why would he talk to Yugi and heal him isn't he just a bunch of ugly fingers now?"

Gojo chuckles. "Ah I forgot, Yugi is the vessel for Sukuna he can control him keeping him sealed. He'll tell you more about it, later" Gojo leaves

Ryu and Yugi both look back to the TV. "You're really his vessel, how did it even happen, and how are you still in control. He brought you back to life why?" So many questions filled his mind at the revelation of Yugi prisoner.

Awkwardly chuckling Yugi responds. "It's kind of just happened. A month ago I ate the finger to help Megumi, just before I did my dying grandfather told me to save as many people as I can. Even if it's only those close to me to just save the people I can, that it's okay if I lose my way not to worry about thanks just save as many people even if it's just one. So that when I die I would be surrounded by people, so that I can have a proper death." Smiling fondly he remembers his short tempered grandfather.

"I ate the finger to try and save my two friends and Megumi, I didn't know what the finger was when I did it I didn't even know I could contain him till he appeared. Since then he's been stuck inside of me, I ate three fingers so far. Well I ate two, Sukuna ate one on the last mission before he killed me. We came in contact with a special grade the only survivable option was switching out with Sukuna so that he could kill it. I was too injured to switch again and he ripped my heart out to hold me hostage. I switched back without thought and died, waking up after talking to him and now I'm here meeting you while trying to get stronger." Yugi tone takes a determined tone finishing his story.

"Wow I just wow, can you speak with him."

"Yeah sometimes he doesn't shut up."

"Oh could you pull him up. I want to ask him something, but don't let him take control of your body."

"Sure I guess."

A single eye and mouth forms on Yugi's face. "Unless, you are conceding your body to me there is no need for you to call me, I will speak when I deem I want to speak brat."

Ryu raises his hand. "You're here to speak to me. I just wanted to meet the stepping stone I'll pass to become the strongest you stupid finger." He pokes the eye that Sukuna was using not worried about the consequences.

Sukuna glances his way. "You're next after the white haired fool, you sorcerers of this era don't know their place."

Not breaking eye contact with the King of Curses. "But I know your place, imprisoned inside of a 15 year old boy you old stinky finger."

Yugi forces Sukuna back down and looks worriedly to Ryu. "Are you sure it's a good idea to antagonize him like that."

With a relaxed demeanor he waves Yugi off. "The only person stronger than me currently is Gojo-sensei, I won't let him claim that for long." Looking down at both Cursed Corpses Ryu smirks. "Huh neither of our partners have woken up guess were quick learners!" Both boys continued to watch movies as their sensei intended.

1 hour later

"Yugi, Ryu." Gojo Startles Yugi and Ryu, seeing that their training partners didn't react he was slightly impressed.

"(Fast learners good, looks like scaring or talking to them doesn't affect them, we should be able to ramp up their training then.)"

At the same time Gojo was thinking this Yugi asked. "You need something?"

"We're heading out, Yugi. Ryu you're tagging along as well I'm going to show Yugi the pinnacle of jujutsu battles."

Ryu stands up hearing this. "So you're going to show him your broken ass Domain."

-Scene Change-

Gojo lands on the top of the lake, holding both Yugi and Ryu by the scruff of their hoodies. Looking towards the special grade he just finished manhandling. "Sorry about that, were you waiting"

Gojo unbothered by the failing Yugi in his arm who is shocked by the instant transportation. "What the heck! Hey, where are we."

The instant they landed on the lake Ryu spotted the curse, it has a humanoid shape but his physical appearance was distinctly that of a cursed spirit. Carrying itself like an elderly man who has a hunchback posture. With pale gray skin but the top of his head faded into a brown color where the volcanic opening was. He has a single cycloptic eye, two openings on the sides of his head that serve as ears both of which are plugged by large corks, with teeth as black as soot. Wearing an all-black outfit that consisted of a loose shirt with quarter-length sleeves with matching pants and shoes. He wore his signature yellow spotted cape over that along with a white scarf.

Ryu gazed over his bruised form, he instantly knew why. "(Gojo-sensei put him through a blender.)"

"Sukuna's Vessel." The volcano curse eye narrows spotting Yugi

Lifting Yugi higher. "This Itadori Yuji-kun, he's here to watch." Lifting Ryu up. "This Hajime Ryu-kun, he's here to demonstrate."

Yugi forgetting about anything else Yugi points at the Volcano curse. "MT. FUJI! HIS HEAD'S ."

Ryu couldn't help but laugh, Yugi was one of the funniest people he's ever met. He was still a bit surprised to see another curse speak, only knowing Mizu-ni to be able to speak. Then again he said those who were closer in power could do so. Between laughing at Yugi's antics and thinking of what his arrogate brother said, he misses the statement that Gojo made about him.

Gojo lets both of them go Yugi sees Ryu lands on the water without sinking and follows himself. "Why aren't we sinking?" Yugi looks to Gojo. "Sensei, we were at the school just ten seconds ago, right? What's going on here?"

Gojo doesn't attempt to break his concentration, still looking directly at the special grade. "Oh, we warped here." Yugi gets a sour look, glancing to his right he looks to Ryu.

"Yugi, I wouldn't expect him to explain everything. It will save you from more headaches."

Jogo seeing this gains an irritated look. "Sukuna vessel, so he really is alive." He thinks back on what Geto said about first getting rid of Gojo and second persuading Itadori Yugi and Sukuna on their side. "(I can't kill Itadori due to our future goals. Has he caught on to our goals?)"

"What's the brat for? He a shield?" Jogo looks to Yugi.

Gojo smiles at hearing this. "A shield, why would I need that. No I told you, he's here to watch. My assistant and I are in the middle of teaching him a lot of things." Yugi looks toward the speaking curse. "Don't worry about him. Just keep fighting."

Jogo gains a smile at hearing this. "Bringing in someone who will hinder you in this fight just makes you a fool."

Laughing this time, Gojo had to after hearing the confidence this curse had. "It'll be fine. After all you're weakest thing I've seen this week."

Hearing those words shattered all restraint Jogo had, first his ear plugs popped out, what followed was the top of his head and ears exploding releasing beams of superheated lava. "DON'T UNDERETIMATE ME, BRAT! I'M GOING TO ENJOY SWALLING UP THAT SMUG FACE OF YOURS!

The water thrashes towards the three sorcerers, Yugi had a stunned look watching this curse rage. "(This guy…is weak?)" Memories of the curses he encounter so far flashed in his mind. "(He's way more monstrous than any of the monsters I've encountered so far!)"

Gojo places a hand on top of Yugi's head calming him down. "You'll be fine, Ryu will handle it."

Hearing only the last bit Ryu looks to Gojo. "I'll handle what." Just as he said this Jogo brought his hands together. His left thumb covers his right, pointer fingers bend to form a V, his middle finger connect higher than the rest forming an arch, ring fingers lying flat next to each other, and his pinky bent in an upward position matching the shape of the middle finger arch but not touching.

Jogo finishes his hand seal with a satisfied smile. "Domain Expansion." The world around Gojo, Ryu, and Yugi is consumed by a growing darkness. Rock abruptly forming on the ground with lava spewing out afterwards. Rocks start to form upward against the wall eventually all over with even more lava flowing out surrounding them.

"Yugi looks around baffled by the sudden formation of Jogo's Domain. "Wh-what is this?!"

Almost as if answering his question Jogo finishes his sentence. "Coffin of the Iron Mountain!" Lava continues to explodes outward all around them.

Gojo slaps Ryu on the shoulder, signifying him to answer. "Yugi, this is a Domain Expansion. Through the use of curse energy you can construct an Innate Domain." Yugi is arm is lightly splashed with lava causing him to freak out waving his arm trying to cool it off.

"These Domains are typically imbued with a cursed technique in the Domain. Spreading out a Domain eats up a lot of energy, but it's worth the cost." Ryu brings a finger up. "First it boost stats due to environmental factors."

Making a sound of understanding Yugi asks a question. "Like a buff in video games!"

Jogo looks annoyed seeing the three sorcerers standing. "(Any other sorcerers would have been turned to ash once they entered my Domain!)"

Ryu nods in agreement, watching Gojo shattered a pillar made of rock headed their way with a knock of his fist. "Hai, the second is techniques imbued in a Domain are guaranteed to hit within that Domain."

Yugi moves into Ryu's face. "Guaranteed?!"

Ryu smiles at his antics "Yes guaranteed, but there are three ways to deal with it that I know. You can take a hit using a cursed technique, like what Gojo-sensei just did or you can try and leave the Domain which is normally impossible."

Jogo speaks up having enough of this lecture. "If I neutralize that Infinity of yours with a dense Domain, then my techniques will reach you."

Gojo responds back to the walking volcano. "Yeah, they'll hit."

"Huh? Infinity?" Yugi folded his arms seeming confused about the word.

"It's one of Gojo-sensei's techniques." Ryu answers him, getting a thumbs up in response from Yugi.

Jogo has a shocked look thinking back on his cockiness when asking Geto for the Prison Realm. "(I came here half jest. I thought I wouldn't be bothered if I couldn't kill him.)" The earlier exchange between Gojo and him appears in his head. "(But having the difference between us forced down my throat. On my pride as a curse…no new humanity this is outrageously unacceptable!)"

Gojo pushes Ryu to the front of them and finishes the lecture he assigned Ryu. Understanding flows through Ryu knowing what Gojo is asking for. "The most effective way to deal with a Domain. Is when two Domains are laid out at the same time, the more refined one will dominate the space. Though sometimes there are factors like compatibility and amount cursed energy."

Jogo moves forward extending his arm out, and lifting his pointer and middle finger up into the air. "THERE WON'T EVEN BE ASHES LEFT OF YOU, GOJO SATORU!" Jogo sends a wave of lava and rock in their direction.

It is all stopped by Gojo's Infinity. "Ryu-kun it time to show off your domain since mine is so broken!" Gojo says happily.

Ryu looks back at Gojo. "How did you know I even had one? I was hoping you didn't notice"

Gojo points to his eyes. "It's hard to miss things with these eyes."

"Fine…Fine here, you slave driver I'll do it." Ryu moves his hands to a prayer form, wrapping both middle fingers around his pointer fingers connecting behind them, and crossing his ring fingers into an X. He looks up with a grin.

"Domain Expansion: Ring of the outer Nucleus."

The world burst into blue and black lightning, it took over the space of Jogo's domain. In a purple void three large blue rings form with Jogo appearing in between the inner most layer and the middle layer. In the center of the rings is a clear orb the size of a mini moon, with black and blue lighting crackling from inside of it. A giant blue throne appears at the top of the sphere, scales and black horns protrude from all over the outside of the seat.

Ryu leaves his seat taking in his domain once again, Gojo lets out whistle noise, impressed by how quickly he overrode the special grades domain. Yugi looks down seeing the different colored lightning in the orb, looking back to see Ryu he sees in his throne and is impressed by how menacing it looks.

Jogo couldn't move. "(What just happened….. Was my Domain overwhelmed? By a brat no less, I can't move even move.)"

Jogo sees a shadow loom over him. Ryu snaps his finger. "I allow you to move your head and speak."

Jogo was stunned to see the brat speak to him in such a way, a freaking child. "HOW DARE YOU BRAT! I WILL BURN YOUR SOUL TO…."

Ryu snapped his finger and Jogo lost the ability to speak. "You're taking me a bit too lightly, first only focusing on Gojo-sensei and Yugi, and now speaking to me like I'm your lesser when clearly from up here…."

"I look down on you as your better."

. Both teacher and classmate both were watching this exchange his classmate had a look of shock, while their sensei had a look of true entertainment something he couldn't say he felt in ages.

"I'll allow you one more chance, to speak what is your name." Ryu snaps his fingers allowing Jogo another chance to communicate.

Taken a back Jogo hesitates. "Jo-Jogo why does it matter?"

"My brother was a curse, he found me and protected me helping me become who I am today. So in honor of him I asked your name."

Looking back to the two behind him. "Gojo-sensei dead or alive?"

"Alive, Ryu-kun."

In that moment Ryu snapped his fingers and Jogo's body violently exploded into a gore of purple painting the area in it.

The Domain shattered allowing all of them to exit, Ryu kicks Jogo's head towards a nearby clearing. All of them land around his head with Gojo placing his foot on the stunned looking Jogo.

"Now, who sent you after me?" Gojo rolls his head under his shoes.

Yugi looks at Ryu. "Ryu, I know Gojo-sensei made you an assistant sensei, and you even said you're the strongest first year. I just didn't think you'd be this strong."

Smiling appreciatively he fist pumps. "I'm happy I actually could win a fight today now I'm even, one and one!"

"One and one?"

"Oh, Gojo-sensei and I fought. No more like he whooped my ass without trying." Ryu scratches his head in embarrassment admitting to his easy loss wasn't fun.

Yugi took these words in from Ryu and looked towards his sensei. "(He beat Ryu who made this monster look like an ant, Gojo-sensei really is the strongest jujutsu sorcerer! As a living organism he's on another level!)"

-Scene Change-

From a distance two figures are seen above the clearing. A tall, slim, and yet muscular man with long black hair partially tied up into a man bun while the rest drapes down the back of his head. Gauges stretching his earlobes, with a large horizontal scar on his forehead what looks to be held together by stitches. He is dressed similarly to a Buddhist priest, he has a gold colored kasaya garment over his black yukata robes completed by his white tabi socks and zori sandals. He is sitting on a flat rock, leisurely watching Jogo lose.

Standing next to him is a large tan cursed spirit with black lines running across their entire body. It has a helmet like head that doesn't cover their teeth, branches for where the eyes are supposed to be, and two black lines that zig zag down their face. Wearing black baggy pants that are held up with a white sash, and a white cloth that covers their left arm. Who watched with some anxiousness, the helmet hid those feelings.

"Oh, dear. What now? Will you rescue him?" the Buddhist priest asks, watching as the curse spirit puts its only available arm up. From its pointer finger sprouts a small twisted plant that has white petals forming at the top.

Seeing this the priest makes an entertained face "I can't let people from the school see my face, so I'll be leaving." He gets up and turns to leave stopping to say one last thing to the curse spirit.

"If you want to save him, go ahead and save him. Though I don't know if your kind have such sensitive emotions." The sly smile never leaving his face as he walks away.

The curse doesn't look back to him, but still responds. ".lla retfa, namuh eurt eht er'eW .od eW" The curse vanishes moving to save its comrade.

Still walking away the Buddhist priest gains a crazed grin. "Quite the statement to make for a cursed spirit."

-Scene Change-

Rolling the head of the defeated special grade Gojo gains an annoyed tone in his voice. "Something good was going to happen if you killed me wasn't it, but you don't seem the type to listen to your betters. If you did you would know this was suicide in the highest order." He adds a bit more pressure to the curses head.

Jogo struggles to say anything barely getting out his words. "Like I would say anything, you damn brat!"

Gojo rolls the front of his face fully into the dirt. "So much confidence, yet so weak. Hurry up and tell me before I exercise you not that I won't anyway."

Yugi looks to the head of Jogo. "Gojo-sensei I don't think he can speak with his face in the dirt like that."

Looking into the sky for a moment Gojo thinks on what his student said. "I guess your right Yugi, but he'll have to make it work."

Information clicked into Yugi's brain, he looks towards Ryu. "Wait it seemed so normal that I overlooked it, curses are capable of holding conversations?"

Ryu looks to him and forms a contemplative look. "Yes but it's rare, very rare in fact. My Ni-chan could speak but he was almost 2000 years old. Simply put if it's capable of conversation but no fluidly I would put it at the level of first grade bridging on special. If they are able to speak like Jogo here they are Special Grade."

In that moment a wooden spike pierced the ground in front of Ryu, thousands of flower petals ranging in color and size formed around them.

Everyone's guard dropped at the sight of the flowers.

Gojo. "Wow!"

Yugi. "Flowers!"

Ryu. "Pretty!"

Slapping himself in the face Gojo was the first to snap out it, Ryu doing the same a second later. "Gojo sensei that is a curse right?"

"Yeah, and it's stripping away or will to fight."

Yugi is grabbed by the ankle by a tree root hoisting him up into the air, Gojo turns to his student to help. The second he turned the large cursed spirit grabs Jogo's head and makes haste.

Yugi yells to Gojo. "Sensei I'm good go after him." He finishes as a wood monster forms at the end of the root with sharpened wooden teeth ready to rip into Yugi. "Sensei I lied help meeee!"

Ryu reacts blasting the creature with blue lightning killing it allowing Yugi to fall to the ground before he reached it. His finger is still smoking after the attack, catching both Yugi and Gojo off guard with how quick his attack struck.

Gojo recovers and makes to chase after the two curses, only to feel that they got away. "(Wow it actually got away, its good at hiding its presence.)"

Ryu moves behind Gojo thinking the same thing. "It felt creepy, way more than Jogo did. Like it was a curse but also a spirit of nature, when it first attacked I couldn't tell if the attack was from one or not!"

Gojo smirks towards Ryu. "Cursed spirit of that level are forming a faction now? This is getting interesting." He turns to Yugi. "Yugi, I want you or rather everyone to become strong enough to beat that."

"Huh? Beat that?" Yugi imagines the head of Jogo and makes a hesitating look.

Pointing a finger up Gojo waves his arm back in forth. "It's good to have concrete goals, right? Man, I'm glad I brought you here."

Yugi's face goes from hesitant, to confused. "I have no idea what's happening anymore."

Gojo pushes Ryu in between him and Yugi. "Ryu simply put your special grade so from now on you'll be training by fighting me, and you had the audacity to call my Domain broken yours is even more so. Anyways Yugi will be training by fighting you and watching movies for the next month!" Gojo punches his fit into his palm.

Yugi with sweat starting to form on his face. "Will I even be alive this next month?"

Chuckling Ryu puts a thumbs up towards Yugi. "I'll be sure to hold back enough that you won't die, but not enough that it will be pointless, so don't worry."

Gojo continues explaining his plan. "Then after a month both of you will take on several harder missions. Yugi to introduce you to the basics and apply them. Ryu to introduce you more into to the modern world and some of your upper classmen. Then you'll show the jujutsu world the culmination of your efforts at the exchange event." Gojo stretches his arms out for his big reveal

Yugi shoots his hand into the air. "Hey, Sensei."

Gojo points to Yugi. "Yes, Yugi-kun?"

With a dumb look on his face. "What's the exchange event?"

Ryu nods. "Good point what is that, you seemed excited to tell us?"

Confused he looks to both of them. "I didn't tell either of you."

-Scene Change-

The scared Buddhist priest scales a flight of stairs coming to an apartment door, entering he is greeted to a lavish beach where the sky is blue and the sun is shining brightly. Walking towards a person sitting in a beach chair he stops and glances out in the ocean, seeing a something of a squid like creature with a circular shaped head, big round eyes. The creature is just floating enjoying the ocean.

"It sure is peaceful here?"

The man sitting in the beach chair turns a page in his book before responding. "How's Jogo doing, Geto?"

Geto continues his path towards the man in the beach chair. "At deaths door Hanami had to step in to save him, so he'll be fine. "

"How irresponsible, you're the one the egged him on." Geto is now standing in front of him

"Heavens, no. I tried to stop him."

They hear the door open behind them Geto turns slightly to see them enter with Hanami holding Jogo's head in their hand. "Speak of the devil."

The man in the beach char greets them. "Jogo, Hanami. Glad your both okay."

Eye vein in his one eye bulged. "How can you say that when you see me like this?!"

Geto answers him. "You're lucky you got off with just that." Jogo eyes narrow. Geto sticks part of his tongue out like a cat while putting up both of his arms in a shrugging like motion.

Jogo eye narrows even more so at seeing this. "Why, you…"

"Good I think you understand now why we have to seal Gojo Satoru, we will carry out our plan for sealing hi…."

Geto didn't finish his sentence he was sure he was mistaken but he checked again nonetheless. "Jogo. Repeat what you just said?"

"Gojo Satoru wasn't the one that did this, his assistant was the one who overwhelmed my Domain. I didn't register his name I was focused on Sukuna's vessel and Gojo Satoru. He had cyan blue hair and lightning shaped lines under his eyes."

Everyone could feel the beach start to become deathly cold, in the background Uraume fist clenched at the physical description that was given. Ice starts to stretch out into the ocean almost freezing the entire thing.

"Did his technique involve lightning?" Uraume asked with a tone of seriousness that the others have never seen from the monk.

"I don't know he didn't attack till we had our contest of domains, that's where I even first paid him any mind. Up till then I was focused on Gojo Satoru, I didn't realize he had another monster with him as well. He even asked my name spouting something about his brother being a curse and doing so to honor him. Geto why weren't we informed of him."

Uraume answers. "That's because he should be dead, I watched as a spear of ice I made pierced his heart. What was his domain I was caught in it once but there was no imbued technique?"

"I was in a void of purple, when suddenly I was standing in between to rings; facing a sphere of black and blue lightning. He controlled my body with just a snap of his fingers, I promise whEN I FIND HIM I'LL BURN HIM TO ASHES!" Steam rises from the top of his head

Geto laughs, he honestly didn't expect to hear that name again, and for him to be working with Yugi what are the odds. "This changes nothing, only Gojo Satoru has the ability to hinder our plans. We will move ahead with the plan to seal Gojo Satoru in Shibuya on October 31st, I'll contact you with more information later. Good enough Mahito

Mahito leans forward showing his human-looking face, the only thing differentiating him from a human is patch worked face resembling that of Frankenstein's monster, his skin a pale white and his are two different colors. One grey the other a darkish blue with long disheveled greyish blue hair that reaches past his neck.

"No objections here."

"Let's be cunning about this like curse should."

"Like the true humans should."

Thank you for reading this chapter.

This is a large chapter that's for sure, I wanted to get the introduction to the main storyline done. Don't worry I believe that a great fanfic should have its own fun independent chapters, where the author can really flex their creativity. There will be more of those but overall following the original plot with some twists.

I felt that Mizuchi would impact the story to much so he had to go in the typical no plot armor that a lot of the JJK cast seems to have.

To the 8 people that followed and favorited this story thanks so much for reading this, it has helped me in a lot of ways. Please let me know what you think of this chapter so I can improve, thanks!

Till next time, Ja ne!
