Naruto was eating his breakfast when he heard someone knocking at the front door.
"Coming!"
Naruto opened the door, not noticing that he had a small amount of food stuck to his mouth, it made him look a little cute.
Upon opening the door Naruto discovered a smiling Yumiko-oba-chan.
"Good morning Naruto-kun," she said as she entered the house, followed by two people- a young man and a woman. Yumiko-san, she was the woman who had informed Naruto about his parents' death. Why did she bring a young couple to his house? "How are you today?"
"'m fine." He said before looking at the trio. "Oba-chan?" He asked as he let them in. The young couple smiled at him. He smiled back, which confused them as they were told that he was blind. "Who are they?"
"They are very nice people, Naruto-kun," she replied with a smile. "They can look after you now…"
"What do you mean by that?" Naruto asked with a frown.
"What I mean to say is that…" the woman hesitated for a moment before saying, "They are here to adopt you."
No sooner had she said it, than the said couple was lifted five feet above the ground and they felt being throttled. The woman, Yumiko-san screamed loudly as she saw them being lifted like that.
"Oka-san, oto-san," shouted Naruto. "Stop it!"
The duo were promptly dropped on the wooden floor and they let out a painful moan. The woman had her jaw broken while the man had deep claw marked wounds on his neck and throat.
"NOBODY CAN REPLACE US!" Shouted Kenji as he spat at the man who was struggling to breathe.
"IF SOMEONE TRIES, SOMEONE DIES!" Finished Hanako.
"I am… sorry Naruto-kun…!" Yumiko-san said as she rushed to open the door. "But it seems that your parents… haven't left… forgive me… I won't come again…!"
Naruto sighed as the trio ran away from the house. He needed to learn how to use this so-called 'cursed energy' which was equivalent to chakra of the shinobi world. He had better learn as fast as he could before his parents decided to kill someone off. He made his way to the telephone. He had his 'uncle's phone number as the man gave him his visiting card before leaving.
"Hello?"
"Oh… is it my cute little nephew? How's everything going? Is your stupid mom and dad behaving?"
"They aren't stupid, old man!"
"Yeah, yeah. My question's answer?"
"They are not always around me, they appear sometimes, all of a sudden, without any kind of warning. Umm… hehe… they kinda blew away the ramen shop I went to yesterday because the man was overcharging me and they might have tried to kill a dog that tried to lick me and they might also have tried to murder a couple that came to adopt me. They also kinda broke a few bones of some of my classmates who tried to bully me."
"So they have not been behaving… hmm, thought so much." Satoru mused. "Typical. So what do you want me to do?"
"So…can you… you know… ugh… socaanyoupleaseteachme, dattebayo?"
"What?"
"Can you teach me how to make them not attack people?"
"So you want to tame them."
"...that was not what I meant, dattebayo." Naruto had no solid reason to trust the man. He wanted to believe Satoru though— because Satoru Gojo looked too much like Kakashi. The reason is absurd, yet Naruto wanted to believe the man. Naruto's heart told him that the man had no evil plans for him. Naruto's heart was seldom wrong. "So, will you teach me how to use cursed powers?"
Satoru let out a sigh before saying, "I get it, don't worry, I'll send my manager to you. He'll pick you up."
"What if they try to… you know…"
"Kill him? He may appear weak at first, but he is tough. Don't worry."
"But what about my school?"
"Worry not as Satoru Gojo is here."
"...okay. But how do I know if it is him or not?"
"He is a thin man with rectangular glasses. He looks old, but isn't. Name's Kiotaka Ijichi. Expect him around twelve at noon tomorrow."
"Okay. See you, old man."
"I am not old! I am only three years older than your mom!"
"That's what I call old."
"Hey!"
"Satoru Gojo," an old grumpy voice said. "Why is the boy still alive?"
"Because I chose not to kill him." He replied casually.
"Nine children and nine adults are hospitalised because of that boy." Another voice spoke. "That boy is dangerous."
"He may not be like Yuta Okkutsu." Another joined. "What if the curses of Hanako and Kenji Gojo are not tamed? They are nowhere as strong as Rika Orimoto, but are still strong enough. As the boy gets stronger, they will also become stronger. Either he tames them, or he dies."
"I will NOT execute him." Gojo lifted his glasses and looked in that direction.
"We have other sorcerers who can do it."
"I dare you to try." Gojo said as he let out a sarcastic laughter. "I am Satoru Gojo, Tenodakume Gojo is under my protection. Whoever tries to harm him must face me!"
They didn't reply.
A furious Satoru Gojo left the chamber.
They shared a moment of silence before someone said, "I heard that the boy will be there at the Kyoto Sister School Goodwill Event. We can execute him there."
The others nodded in agreement.
As the students were exchanging some 'friendly' talks with each other, they were abruptly stopped when they felt a very ominous energy coming towards them.
At first, they looked at the stairs, hoping to see a First or special Grade curse appear before them.
But what they did not expect was a bluish-white head to appear.
They almost forgot the ominous feeling when the person fully arrived as most of them had only one thought in their minds.
'Satoru Gojo has procreated?!'
"Sorry to interrupt… eh… today Tenodakume Gojo… eh… will be watching the event with the teachers." Ijichi announced.
Naruto looked at the older boys and girls.
They were exactly the way he imagined them to be— weird. They were not talking anymore.
The scar faced woman gave him a disgusted look from time to time— as if she hated his very existence for some reason. She walked towards him and asked one simple question though.
"Oi, gaki,"
"Huh?"
"Who is your mother?"
"Hanako Gojo." He replied. "Why?"
"Gojo? Already?!" The woman nearly jumped as she ignored him. "Damn you Satoru Gojo!"
The woman left, furious
"What just happened?" He asked Ijichi, who was standing right next to him.
"I… am not completely sure." The man replied as he tilted his spectacles. "But I think Utahime-san has misunderstood something."
Naruto looked at the older students who were gazing at him like he was some sort of criminal.
The students from Tokyo Jujutsu High were very weird.
The first thing Togo Inumaki, a second year student said to Naruto was, "Salmon". It was no wonder that Naruto replied— "Sorry, onii-san, but I like raman."
A first year student Nobara Kugisaki laughed in a disturbing way while her yearmate Megumi Fushigoro elbowed her. The boy kind of reminded him of Sasuke.
Maki Zenin, another second year student at the high school was very moody; she hardly spared him a glance before saying, "Don't be an irritating brat, or I Will Be Your Worst Nightmare."
The weirdest student of Tokyo Jujutsu High was not a human but a panda. Ironically, this one seemed to be more 'human' than the rest of his fellow students.
There was another student, Yuta Okkotsu, another second year student who was said to be the strongest student of the School as well as it's sister school. The boy had single handedly handled the competition and won it the previous year. But he was not in the country at that moment. Satoru told him that Yuta was also a Special Grade just like him and Naruto. When the boy was younger and a friend of his died, he couldn't accept the fate and rejected her death which caused her to become a Special Grade curse. Fortunately, the girl, Rika Orimoto, was freed a year ago.
The students of Kyoto High were relatively less abnormal. There was a petite blonde girl with a broom. The first thing she asked him was, "Do you think that girls only need to be strong, not beautiful to achieve success?"
"Umm… yes?" She gave him a stern look. "...I mean... no!… But why?"
"Good." She nodded. "So I don't hate you."
"...okay?"
Another girl, Mai, who looked suspiciously like Maki ruffled his hair and told him not to be naughty. What?
There was also a… robot. The robot, Mechamaru, was silent the whole time. It wore a uniform just like normal students.
And then there was Miwa. She was one of the kindest girls he had ever met. She ruffled his hair, pinched his cheek and sweetly smiled at him without any underlying meaning. The blue haired suit-wearing swordswoman told him that she had younger siblings and loved kids.
He really, really liked her. She was great. She was flawless, except for her inferiority complex.
Noritoshi Kamo was a calm person. He kept his eyes shut. He was cold and reminded Naruto of Neji for some reason.
And finally, there was Todo Aoi…
"What kind of girl do you like?" The boy with a huge frame and a scar on his face, Todo asked with a stern look. "If I don't like your answer, I will beat you so much that you would wish you were dead. ."
A pregnant silence.
"Todo-senpai!" Miwa said. "He is only a five-year-old child!"
"I know that he is physically a five or six years old kid. But on the inside, he is a full adult— I can see it in his eyes."
"The woman who gave birth to me is dead," replied Naruto with a sad face. "The girl I loved is far away. The girl who used to like me has also gone away from me. All I have left are the memories of them that I hold dear. So, I don't have a type."
Another pregnant pause.
Naruto sniffed.
Suddenly a figure appeared out of nowhere and jumped towards Todo to attack. It spoke…
"You made my baby cry; I will kill you, kill you, kill you, kill you!"
All the students jumped back and took a defensive stance.
"Another one like Okkotsu!" Yelled Mai. "Damn! Where do all these people come from!"
The curse was throwing its claws at Todo continuously. The boy was easily dodging them. But if one looked closely, they could see Todo getting weaker and weaker with each passing second.
'A energy reducing curse.' He thought. 'I can't waste my energy with unnecessary moves. I must use my…'
Just when the curse was about to directly land a hit on his chest with its claws, Todo swapped places with Megumi by clapping his hands.
"Fushigoro!" Maki yelled as she ran towards him with her staff.
Megumi was perplexed and terrified. He knew this was a Semi-Special Grade cursed spirit. He was just about to summon a Shikigami when he realized the curse had stopped.
He looked at the curse, who was not paying anymore attention to him. Instead, it was looking at the boy, who was holding its other hand. Everyone had a question in their mind.
'When did he get there?'
"Oka-san…" he said sadly. "Please don't hurt him. Don't hurt anyone. I don't want to lose a friend because of me."
'Fushigoro is this boy's friend? Fushigoro has a friend?!'— Everyone thought.
"Don't cry baby." The curse yelled in a high pitched voice. "I will not hurt your friend. Your friends are our friends too. Don't cry…" The curse ruffled his hair before disappearing away.
"That was something." Maki commented as she walked towards him. "It's not everyday you say someone with cursed spirits."
"You are…" before Todo could finish his sentence, he was sent flying away as he received a devastating punch on his face. He hit a wall half a second later.
"Tou-chan!" Yelled Naruto. The cursed spirit gave him a questioning look and shrugged before disappearing away.
"What is this all about?" Utahime returned and stood beside Momo. She looked at Todo, who was standing up after being 'hit by a wall'. "Todo! You couldn't wait for the event to start! Kami, you will be the death of me!"
At this time, Satoru Gojo was seen coming towards them as he pushed an ice-cream type of trolley while smiling and waving at them.
"Sorry, I'm late!" He smiled happily as he stood next to Naruto and ruffled his hair. "Actually I went abroad - that's why. Hope you don't mind." He walked towards his students and took out a bundle of something pink in humanoid shape. He gave one to each. "I have brought gifts for all of you. It's for you, it's for you, it's for you…" he proceeded to give them. "And I have for Kyoto folks too!" He gave one to Mechamaru, Kamo, Momo and so on. He gave two to Miwa, much to the girl's delight. "Two for you!" Then he looked at Utahime, who had returned a few moments earlier upon hearing the uproar. "Sorry, but didn't bring any for you!"
"Forget the gifts baka!" she tried to smack on his head, but was stopped thanks to his Infinity. She sighed in irritation before asking. "WHEN did you marry? WHO did you marry? WHY did you marry? HOW did you marry?"
"Uh?" Gojo looked confused. He rubbed his chin with his hand. "I am married? Wow. Didn't know that. Who's the lucky woman?"
"Umm," Ijichi decided to speak before anything awkward happened. He stood beside Gojo and leaned towards his ear before whispering something.
Gojo's smile returned.
"Naruto-kun is my cute little nephew!"
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
…
"Where are you going, Utahime?"
"I just remember that I have a SUPER IMPORTANT TASK to do." Utahime said as she began to swiftly walk away. "Later, guys!"
"...okay," Megumi said as he looked at his sensei. "Sensei, what really took you so long?"
"I have the biggest gift for you guys!" He said as he made a dramatic pose. "Presenting…"
"Yuji Itadori is back!" The trolley door was abruptly opened and a boy stood up and took an identical dramatic pose.
Nobody gave a reply. Everyone gazed at the pink haired teen with a confused expression. Megumi and Nobara looked like they had just seen a ghost. The boy looked disappointed.
"They don't look very happy!" Itadori exclaimed.
"What about the Kyoto folks!" Gojo turned the trolley towards the students who were busy with the gift he had bought for them.
"Nobody is happy!"
As the boy was engrossed in conversation with his fellow students, Gojo went to talk with two older people standing a bit far— one: a man in his late sixties, another: a man in his late forties or so.
But Naruto's mind was somewhere else. He was looking at Itadori, who was being yelled at by his friends.
Naruto lifted his blindfold a bit.
His amethyst eyes sparkled.
'A Jhinchuriki!'
Itadori looked at the boy, sadly Naruto was not quick enough to hide his eyes as Yuji spotted them. Yuji noticed the child's uneasiness and he was smart enough to not speak about his eyes. 'He has eyes I have never seen before.' He thought. 'They were shining! Is he someone related to sensei?'
"Hello, Kid!" Yuji stood in front of him before kneeling. "My name is Yuji Itadori. What is yours?"
"N-Naruto."
"So are you here to watch the game?"
"Yeah, I guess, dattebayo."
"You are with sensei?"
"The old man? Yeah." Naruto scratched his head. "Umm, if you don't mind telling me… do you have someone inside you?"
Yuji was taken aback by the question, but he smiled at the boy.
"I can tell you, but I have a condition."
"Condition…" Naruto tensed. Ever since his parents died, he has been feeling very insecure about others around him. He feels uneasy because he fears that his parents might attack someone if they sense any sort of danger from others. Being the hyperactive kid Naruto is, it is very hard for him to stay calm, resulting in making him look like a shy kid. He asked Satoru for help because he wanted to master this power to cause less distress to others as well as wanting to free his parents, "W-what is it?"
"Will you be my friend?" Yuji asked with a friendly grin.
Naruto gave him a foxy grin.
Somewhere in Jujutsu High.
A being with multiple eyes with a human-like figure was sitting in a meditative posture when suddenly all of its eyes snapped open.
"He is here!" Tengen quickly conjured an ancient looking book with a brown cover. She swiftly flipped a few pages before she reached the page. It read—
Marvel of creation, a boy with amethyst eyes,
Yearning to break the chains of ancient myth,
Tresses pale as winter snow, reflecting moonlit skies.
He holds the heavens captive with just one glance,
Ever defying fate with courage unyielding and strong,
- Looking through veils of darkness, he'll take every chance.
Beneath his gaze, impossible becomes reality,
Roaming the realms of mystic lore and fantasy,
Escaping the clutches of a world on fire,
Awestruck whispers follow him, his legend does inspire.
Keeper of the secrets hidden in ethereal flight,
Engulfed in love from god, a celestial light.
Demonstrating strength like wings of divine angels,
In this apocalypse, he bears hope amidst life's tangles.
"So it is true…" Tengen whispered. "It really is true… he is here. Kenjaku, you also know it, don't you? So what will you do now?"
