Chapter Five: Goodwill Event- III

"Ten-chan"

"I told you not to call me that, baka!"

"Aww… so cruel! I thought you liked me."

"Shut it! Just because we had to share the same chopsticks doesn't mean I like you. Besides, I am forbidden to have this sort of feeling, remember?

"Hmm… of course, 'Guardian of the Barrier'"

"I am already in a sore mood after everything Sukuna did, don't make it even worse."

"Hmm, about that, 'Ten-chan', what are your opinions about his actions?"

"What do you mean 'opinions', huh? He killed everyone in that dojo. Just because they were rude, doesn't mean he should kill them."

"That is something I can agree on with you."

"There's a 'but' there."

"There is no 'but'."

"Tell me what it is in your mind."

"I have nothing in my mind."

"Huh."

"Has sensei told you about the 'Child Of Prophecy'?"

"Huh? Who doesn't know about it? It's a hot topic."

"It's like a fairy tale, isn't it?"

"It was just a stupid old man's stupid dream. I mean, who has shining amethyst eyes?"

"Six-Eyes' users—"

"Aren't they usually blue?"

"That is not necessary."

"Whatever."

"Say, Ten-chan, you have the immortality technique and sensei mentioned that you will be the one to guard the barrier."

"Yeah, so? Are you jealous it wasn't you?"

"Nah, I like to be young. You have immortality technique, not evergreen technique."

"As much as I hate to agree with you, it's true. But why are we talking about this?"

"Do you wish to meet him one day?"

"Who?"

"The 'Child of Prophecy'."

"I don't care."

"I wish I could."

"What's on your mind?"

"Just imagine, 'Ten-chan', with his powers, we could understand the real power of cursed energy. Imagine what we could accomplish!"

"You are doing that again."

"...oh, sorry. Anyways, if he is ever born into this world, I wish to be there to see what changes he brings to the Jujutsu world."

"What if he doesn't want such a thing? What if he wants to live a normal life?"

"It's his destiny."

"Destiny, huh? Well keep dreaming. I am leaving. Goodnight, Kenjaku."

"Goodnight, Tengen."

Inumaki took the phone from Fushigor's shikigami and dialled Miwa's number.

"Hello, useless Miwa speaking."

"Go to sleep."

As Inumaki heard a thud sound from the other side of the line, he understood that their plan had worked.

"Go back." He told the shikigami after patting on its head.

He was about to walk away when he heard a twig break from behind him.

He quickly unzipped his high-collar and looked back.

A First Grade cursed spirit's head was seen and it looked at him from behind a tree.

He was perplexed, but went to take quick action when the head of the curse was broken by a pale and huge looking head.

A Special Grade curse came into his view.

~• •~

Naruto was sitting on a tree branch watching Todo and Yuji play, or fight. Obviously Yuji is stronger, but Todo is more durable and skilled. Therefore none of them could defeat each other. Naruto watched Maito Gai's Taijutsu—this standard of combat was boring to him. Both of them could be destroyed by Gai in his prime without opening any Gate. It's funny, really. The power of the people of Ninja Earth is far, far greater than the power of the people here. If his father, Minato was told to wield some Hiraishin Kunai and fight against all the warriors in this world, he would be seen standing over everyone's unconscious bodies in the blink of an eye.

A shinobi is versatile. A sorcerer? Not always. That's the difference in strength between a sorcerer and Shinobi.

Naruto trained from a young age while living in Konoha. He would train so much that he would pass out from exhaustion. Still he would not give up. Beat Kiba in a race? He trained. Sasuke must be defeated In hand-to-hand combat? He trained. Bet with Tsunade to learn the Rasengan? He trained. Sage Mode? He trained. Mastering Kyuubi's Chakra? He trained. He never gave up training. Ever. Even before his very death in the Shinobi World, he trained.

His determination was still there.

These sloppy moves were nothing for him.

Satoru told everyone that Naruto had tremendous potential. Everyone knew he was going to be a force to reckon with. But no one, not even his own parents knew this—

He was a shinobi.

He was Naruto Uzumaki.

Not maybe for too long, a couple of hours perhaps, but he reached the pinnacle of Shinobi. For a few hours, he was the greatest Shinobi ever to exist.

Strength? More than Tsunade's.

Speed? Faster than Minato.

Tactics? Better than both Tobirama and Kakashi.

Scale of Attacks? Far superior to Hashirama's.

Jutsus? More powerful than Hiruzen's.

Still, there was a reason why he was watching this game so closely.

This world didn't have Chakra. But it did have this so-called 'Cursed Energy'.

If he could master this power, then many, if not all of his techniques could be resurrected. Ah… how he missed Rasengan, Shadow Clones and… Oiroke-No-Jutsu…

It is only a matter of fact before he learned how to wield this energy. He still had massive reserves, just like a true Uzumaki— his mother, Kushina would've been proud.

He was not wearing his blindfold anymore. He was recording everything from this fight. Every flow of energy, every word from the lectures, every tip. Everything.

Something piqued his interest though…

Black Flash.

"Listen, Yuji, my brother," Todo said as he placed his hands on his hips. "Black Flash is a distortion in space that occurs when cursed energy is applied within 0.000001 seconds of a physical hit. When a sorcerer is able to achieve this, their cursed energy flashes black, and the destructive power of their strike is equal to a normal hit to the power of 2.5. The difference between those who have used the Black Flash and those who haven't is like the difference between heaven and earth. They are on a whole other level."

"Cool!" Yuji chirped. "So I am going to do it?"

"No one can ever do this at will." Todo sternly said. "Not even Satoru Gojo. It does not happen randomly and requires immense concentration."

"Not even with the Six-Eyes?!"

"Yes. Nanami Kento is the current record holder, He could use five Black Flash."

"Is that so?"

"Um-hmm."

"Oi, gorilla-nii-chan?" Naruto called from the tree branch.

"Ye… oi!" Todo realised that he had just approved the nickname by turning at the child. "Don't call me that!"

"Yeah, yeah," Naruto waved it off and jumped from the tree branch, which was seven feet above the ground and landed gracefully, much to the shock of the older boys. "Say, can you use Black Flash?"

"I have used it a couple of times, but haven't mastered using it." Todo replied honestly.

"Oh, that's too bad." Yuji said. "I wanted to learn it badly."

"You Don't need a mentor in order to learn how to use it," said Todo. "You just learn it under pressure from the situation."

"That's understandable." Sagely nodded Naruto.

"Now," Todo said as he assumed his fighting stance once more. "We have a fight to continue. Satoru Gojo said that you will not disturb our spar, I hope you will respect his words."

"Yeah, yeah, gorilla-nii-chan." Naruto said as he went to walk away only to abruptly halt his motion as he felt something suffocating, an ominous presence. He swiftly turned his head towards the older duo, who also had an identical perplexed expression on their face. He said, "Is it normal?"

"No," Todo replied without turning. He looked at Yuji. "It must be a Special Grade cursed spirit. Brother, looks like we have a perfect opportunity to learn Black Flash."

They quickly started to make their way towards the place where the feeling was coming from. Naruto stood there for a moment before following them.

'Not only Yuji-nii-chan, but also I am going to learn Black Flash today!'

~• •~

Hanami was just about to finish off the boy and girl when he abruptly stopped as he felt a cluster of powerful auras approaching.

Before he could fully understand what or who was coming, he found his surroundings saturated with the auras. They were fast.

There were three people. One of which he recognised as Sukuna's vessel, other he recognised as… is that Tenodakume Gojo? He couldn't hurt the child as Geto forbade them to do so. The last member of the trio was a muscular young man with a scar on his face. He also had a powerful aura around him.

Sukuna's vessel was supposed to be very weak and a newbie in the Jujutsu world. But he couldn't underestimate them.

Moments later, a pander…? A panda came and took the injured girl and boy away. Meanwhile Sukuna's vessel stepped into the water and began to walk towards Hanami with a calculative gaze. The muscular boy and the child stood by the trees and took a relaxing pose.

Were they underestimating him?

Were they that strong?

"Yuji, my brother," the oldest of the group called to the pink-haired boy. "I will not help you unless you successfully launch a Black Flash, even if you die."

"Got it!" Sukuna's vessel, now named Yuji, announced with determination.

"Onii-chan," the youngest of the trio called out. "Tell me how you feel when you release the Black Flash."

What is Black Flash? Was it strong enough to take him, a Special Grade cursed spirit down?

No chance.

They are probably messing around.

They stand no chance…

"Black Flash!" Before he could understand what had happened, a blur came in his view and the pink haired boy landed a devastating blow on his torso and Hanami was sent a few metres away under the force of the strength while the water in the path was promptly divided in the pathway. It was astonishing— the amount of strength and speed the boy possessed.

But Hanami was unhurt.

He was shocked— true. But he was far from being defeated

"Man, I really thought that I could have a Black Flash over there." Yuji said disappointingly as he stared at his fist.

"Don't give up onii-chan!" Cheered by the younger boy. "Kick that bastard's butt!"

"Yeah, you bet!" Yuji launched himself at Hanami again.

"You can't just launch it in the first attack." Todo said. "Just keep punching that curse."

"Okay!"

"You think I'll let you?" Hanami said by establishing a mental link.

"It just talked in my head," Tenodakume shouted. "It… "

"Of course I can talk, child." Hanami said.

"Oi, curse," the pink-haired boy said. "Do you happen to know a stitch-faced curse?"

'He is talking about Majito, isn't he?" Hanami thought. "What if I said I did?"

"Whatever," Yuji said as he took a step forward. "You are going down... Divergence Fist!"

Hanami quickly dodged the punch. Yuji threw an uppercut. Hanami couldn't avoid that. Hanmi was pushed several feet away. Hanami decides to use his cursed technique. Roots upon roots began to emerge from the ground and went to tangle Itadori. Yuji tried his best to dodge the attacks, hence his motions became little more than a blur.

Todo and Naruto were observing their 'brother's movements with a very keen set of eyes. Todo was looking for flaws and noting areas that needed improvements while Naruto followed the flow of cursed Energy not only in Yuji, but also in the cursed spirit

It was truly a fascinating sight to see.

The flow of cursed energy in their body was truly quite unique. The way they were being released, it was amazing. While cursed energy was not as potent as Chakra, it was still very powerful in its own right. The Hyuuga could release Chakra from most of their body parts, but cursed energy can be released from any part of one's body. Which means— no Chakra pathways, but each of your cells could radiate energy.

'Magnificent,' Naruto smiled unknowingly. 'I wonder how many ways I can exploit this, dattebayo.'

Yuji threw a barrage of punches which disintegrated the roots. But he wasn't able to stop the assault as they kept coming and coming. Yuji jumped at Hanami with a fist prepared to connect with the curse's jaw. Hanami summoned a wooden shield to protect himself.

"Black Flash!"

Black and crimson light was erected from the punch that Yuji had launched. The punch was so powerful that the wooden shield was unable to withstand it, which ultimately caused the punch to connect with Hanami.

Hanami was shocked. It was not something he deduced would've happened. The punch was far more powerful than the ones from earlier. It was so powerful that Hanami vomited blood.

"Oh, yeah!" Exclaimed Todo happily. "You did it my brother!"

"Great job onii-chan!" Naruto added.

"Thank you," Yuji said while not shifting his gaze from the curse.

He threw a punch aimed at Hanami's face. But that didn't work, Hanami immediately came up behind Yuji and landed a punch on his back. The force of the punch was so chilling that Yuji almost passed out. He fell about six metres away.

"That was a lucky hit," Hanami said as he approached the fallen boy. "It was my mistake I underestimated you. It won't happen again."

Todo stepped forward and Hanami halted his approach. He helped Yuji stand up. "Brother, you have fulfilled the requirement. Now, I shall assist you—"

"I'll help too, dattebayo!" Naruto said from the background.

"Shut up!" Todo roared. "You are not my friend, let alone brother. Besides, you haven't even told me what type of girls you like."

'Gorilla-nii-san is very knowledgeable.' Naruto quickly thought. 'I must keep a goid relationship with him. In order to stay in his good list, I must answer it. But how? How about…'

"Well… I… um… like pink-haired ones, with green eyes, those that hit on your head whenever you say something stupid, and, um… those that have monstrous strength— enough to crater into earth and um those who can break every single one of your bones before healing them. The ones with another personality too…"

The other three stared at him for a long time.

"Was that a fusion of me, Kugisaki, Maki-senpai, Fushigoro and Shoko-sensei?" Yuji deadpanned.

Naruto shrugged.

"Ugh… I don't know half of them." Naruto said. "But, that's my type. So—"

"Hahaha...ha!" A mouth on Yuji's left cheek appeared. "I like you Child of Pro…"

"Who asked for your opinion?" Yuji halted him mid-sentence by putting his hand on the cheek.

Todo raised his left hand. They looked at him

"That…" Todo said as he clenched his raised hand's fist. "...was very descriptive. I am not sure if that is boring or not. But," he looked at the child and gave a thumbs up. "That sure is an interesting type, even if it is unrealistic and full of fantasy."

Naruto grinned. This was a good improvement.

"Now, it's time we finish this curse. Tenodakume, stand there and watch."

Todo and Yuji marched towards the curse at an astonishing speed before punching at it together. The curse flew about twenty metres away before hitting itself with a tree. It stood up and raised its hand and once again tree roots began to come out from the ground and try to tangle the duo. Todo and Yuji effortlessly dodged all the roots and attacked the curse with great speed.

Todo revealed his cursed technique, a technique that allows him to swap places with anything or anyone. Using this, he, along with Yuji cornered the cursed spirit. The cursed spirit was pushed, thrown, trashed, kicked, punched and so on.

The duo was truly dynamic.

It was scary and reminded Naruto of the Naruto-Sasuke duo. Whenever they were together— they were unstoppable.

"Black Flash!" Yuji landed another one of those attacks and successfully injured the cursed spirit.

Meanwhile, Naruto was observing their flow of cursed energy. The way every cell reacted, the way every muscle contracted and the way the curse released its attacks.

Naruto keenly observed Yuji's second Black Flash and was mesmerised by its beauty. He focused his own cursed energy and tried to draw it out. He raised a filst and tried to engulf it with cursed energy.

Needless to say, he succeeded— he had the Six-Eyes, that's why.

His cursed energy was sky-blue coloured, not neon coloured like most sorcerers. It felt like his physical strength had amplified five times. It felt great.

Naruto now understands why the Hyuuga and Uchiha were so arrogant. He knows why Nagato called himself 'god'. He knows why Hagoromo was 'Sage of the Six Paths'. Because seeing is power.

'I wonder if I can do THAT by covering my whole body with cursed energy…'

The curse took the fight to the next level and erupted so many branches of trees at the same time and attacked at the duo that they had no choice but to jump— but it ultimately caused the roots to entangle them. The duo quickly got rid of the roots by tearing them off with their sheer strength alone.

The cursed spirit was not done yet as it began to drop more and more roots and tree branches and then pushed them towards the sky.

Naruto lept from tree branch to tree branch in order to see the fight.

The duo made their way towards the curse by running on the tree branches. Abruptly, all of the tree branches disappeared, making both teens perplexed and terrified.

But before they could hit them, they used one another's feet as base and jumped by gathering momentum.

"Black Flash!" Yuji's third attack did some serious damage to the curse as it fell on its knees and immediately began to tremble in fear.

"We shall end you here!" Todo declared confidently as he landed beside Yuji.

Yuji nodded in agreement and proceeded to walk towards the curse.

The curse, who was currently desperately looking for a way to escape, expanded its hands together and method two words that Naruto will remember.

"Domain Expansion…!"

Naruto could feel Cursed energy building around the area. He looked at the curse with hungry eyes— trying to learn everything and anything that he can learn; even if he has to get injured for it.

However, before anything could happen and the curse could launch its technique, he looked up in the sky as he felt a very powerful presence and killing intent.

Satoru Gojo was levitating hundreds of metres away.

He had lifted the veil.

All of a sudden he disappeared from there. But neither of them moved from their spot as if they were waiting for his action to take place.

Five seconds later the curse began to do something on the ground. As roots began to come out and cover the curse.

"I am not fool enough like Mahito to fight with Satoru Gojo. This is not over, we will meet again."

As twenty seconds passed, Naruto felt something odd. Perhaps Todo felt it too, as he relaxed a bit.

"You think we will let you escape?!" Yuji stepped forward only to be stopped by Todo.

"Yuji, my brother," he told Itadori. "If you take one more step, then you will die."

"What—"

Before Yuji could ask what was wrong, a very powerful purple energy beam came towards them, specifically aimed towards the curse, destroying every tree and everything in its way. The diameter of the energy beam was about ten meters.

The power was so strong that they had to cover their eyes with their hands lest they should be blinded.

"AHHH….!" The curse yelled in agony before the purple light completely engulfed it.

When the light was gone they saw that the entire line of area that the energy had come from had created a very long semicircle by destroying everything in the way.

"That's Satoru Gojo for you," Todo smirked. "He does everything in a unique way."

"Yeah, but," Yuji looked at the area and the massive hole. "Now we cannot find out if the Curse is exorcised or not."

Whether the curse was exorcised or not, Naruto had learned a lot of things from the fight and lectures.

He was satisfied.

~• •~

Megumi was not expecting The boy to declare him as his friend. He was surprised, his friends too.

He was surprised when he saw the boy with Todo Aoi and Yuji come in aid of him and Maki.

He was further surprised when Tenodakume declined Panda-senpai's offer to come back.

Why would he want to stay there?

Regardless, Megumi was too weak to argue.

When he woke up in the infirmary ward, he was greeted by the bright faces of Yuji, Nobara and… Tenodakume.

They shared a pizza before Todo came and chased Yuji away.

"Tenodakume-kun?"

"Huh?" The boy, who was chewing, looked at him. "Waat iz et?"

"Why did you call me your friend there?"

"Ah? Owh, I thought we were?"

"No, we aren't."

"Aww, you tried to protect me from that old man that day. That's why you are my friend. Hammer-nee-chan too!"

"Oi! Who are you calling Hammer-nee-chan!" Nobara raised her hammer. The boy jumped back and began to get up, but the girl caught him.

"Sorry! Hammer-nee-chan!"

"Shut it!"

Megumi's lips curled upwards a bit.
