Author Note: Hey! I am back with a new chapter! But first, attention!

I have rewritten the first chapter, completely. I had read a book lately, and loved it's storytelling, hence, I learned to write like it. So here's a new chapter in a new style! Hope you love it!

Chapter Seven: The Day I Walked In Reverse

"My children," the old man said. "Repeat after me. We, Jujutsu Sorcerers, herby vow that,"

"We, Jujutsu Sorcerers, herby vow that—,"

"We will fight until the very end of our breath for the protection, preservation and salvation of humanity."

"We will fight until the very end of our breath for the protection, preservation and salvation of humanity."

"We will always keep our work, ideals and goals isolated from the commoners and non-sorcerers."

"We will always keep our work, ideals and goals isolated from the commoners and non-sorcerers."

"We will pass our knowledge to the next generation and ideals."

"We will pass our knowledge to the next generation and ideals."

"We will never kill an innocent."

"We will never kill an innocent."

"Until the day comes when we must break the vows, we shall not move away from our sacred path."

"Until the day comes when we must break the vows, we shall not move away from our sacred path."

"Destruction is inevitable for the evil sorcerer who kills innocents for his petty reasons, and who kills the parents of the Child of prophecy. He would later die under the imitator's blade."

"Destruction is inevitable for the evil sorcerer who kills innocents for his petty reasons, and who kills the parents of the Child of prophecy. He would later die under the imitator's blade."

"We hereby declared that we will protect and support the Child Of Prophecy if we ever see him."

"We hereby declared that we will protect and support the Child Of Prophecy if we ever see him."

"May we remain firm on our oath."

"May we remain firm on our oath."

Before opening his eyes he first let himself feel his entire body and looked for pain. No pain, good. Although there was a cold sensation on his feet. Assuming the worst, he moved his leg, but to his surprise, he could feel it. He let out a breath he was holding. 'Thank God, dattebayo.'

"Kid, are you all right?" Satoru from… beside him. He was sitting next to the bed on a chair. "You gave us quite a scare there."

"Old man?" He asked weakly.

"The one and only Satoru Gojo!" Satoru said dramatically.

"What happened? I was in the bathroom... Then everything was blank. What happened?"

"You were attacked."

"By whom?

"Some old people wanted you dead."

"Why… Oh, it makes sense. I get it. So what happened to the people that attacked me?"

"It was just one man, pretty weak in any opinion. Honestly, I am disappointed to see you get knocked out by a weakling like him."

"Yeah, yeah. But did you save me?"

"I saved you, sort of."

"What do you mean?"

"Your idiotic father took over your body and almost got you killed."

"What?"

"Yeah. You lost your bottom leg."

"Huh? But it's there. I can feel it."

"You bet."

"How?"

"Remember that doctor lady?"

"Yeah, the cake-butt lady. What about her?"

"She has some special healing skills."

"How did she heal me?"

"Well…" the woman in question emerged as she opened the door and stepped inside. She was smoking- in a clinic… wait, this is a clinic? "You simply use your cursed energy."

"Yeah, I can understand that much." Naruto said. "But the question is how?"

"You go 'fwoo' then 'hyoi'" She said as she waved her hand lazily.

"That honestly makes no sense—" Gojo was about to criticise when Naruto spoke.

"Oh, that's it?"

"Wait?" Satoru almost shouted. "You actually understand how the Reversed Cursed Technique works just like that?"

"Yeah, it's nothing difficult, dattebayo."

"But it took me years to master it!" Argued Satotu.

"You must be slow in the head—"

"I don't believe it." Satoru shook his head.

"Like I care."

"Prove it."

"Huh—" Naruto was unable to complete his sentence as Satoru took a surgical scissor from Shoko's medical tray and lightly stabbed on Naruto's left arm. "Ow! What was that for?!"

"I am not healing that." Shoko said lazily.

"Now heal it." Satoru said with a confident smirk.

Naruto looked at the adult in the room before fixing his gaze on the wound.

Blood was slowly coming out from the small hole… erm… wound.

'I could give it a try.' Naruto sighed before he pushed negative energy into that spot with precision. Then, as soon as the spot was filled with negative energy, he once again pushed negative energy into that wound. Then he merged both the energies and he noticed that the colour of the new energy was red.

Both Shoko and Satoru watched in awe as the blood that was coming out from the wound was slowly being absorbed into the wound. Within ten seconds, all the blood was gone and slowly, the wound began to close itself. Within twenty seconds, the wound was gone completely

"What the hell…" Was all Satoru could say. He knew Tenodakume was talented. But this was a completely unparalleled demonstration of that. He was just messing around. Learning Reversed Cursed Technique in a minute by just hearing Shoko's vague and bizarre explanation is unexplainable. He was just messing around by stabbing him. He had Shoko beside him anyway. But this... This was astonishing.

"There, all done." He looked at Satoru, who was looking at him like he had sprouted a second head. "What?"

"Kid," Satoru said. "That was... amazing."

"Wow. Did you just praise me?"

"What you did was just not something everyone can do. Only a handful of people can do it."

"I know, I am awesome right." Then he sniffed into the air. "Hey, what's that smell? Is something burning?" Both uncle and nephew looked at the source and saw Shoko, whose jaw was hanging and the smell was... Well, her cigarette had fallen from her mouth and was now burning the bed. "Hey! cake-butt lady?"

"This kid…" Shoko choked her own spit. "Managed to learn the Reversed Cursed Technique in ten seconds…"

Satoru laughed awkwardly as he scratched the back of his head.

A few minutes later, Shoko left, leaving Satoru and Naruto.

"Say, old man," Naruto said all of a sudden.

"Hmm?" Satoru titled his head.

"Why can't you simply exorcize… them?"

"Your stupid mom and dad?"

"...yeah."

"They are bound to you, a Six-Eyes user, who has nearly limitless cursed energy. They are not strong, but they are not normal curses."

"Then how did that Ota guy free his friend?"

"That's 'Yuta'. He freed Rika from his curse by transferring her cursed energy into a katana, which he then used to stab her spirit. This allowed him to unravel the knots of cursed energy that bound her to him and release her soul."

"You couldn't exorcise her. Why?"

"I could not simply exorcise Rika because she was not a normal cursed spirit, but a manifestation of Yuta's own cursed energy. Didn't I tell you that explained that a powerful curse like Rika could not be broken with one simple exorcism, and that Yuta had to undo the curse himself?"

"Hmm."

A moment of silence.

"Old man?"

"What?"

"Teach me how to use Cursed Energy properly. Will you?"

Satoru grinned.

'Time for the world to see the first ever Grand Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer.'

~• •~

Yuji and Nobara were in the training grounds at Jujutsu High School, practising their Jujutsu techniques under the watchful eye of their instructor, Yaga as Satoru was engaged somewhere else. Megumi, on the other hand, seemed disinterested, leaning against a nearby tree with a nonchalant expression.

Nobara took a break from her training to grab a drink of water, and Yuji followed suit. As they sat on the grass, Nobara turned to Yuji with a mischievous glint in her eye.

"So, Yuji, did you hear about the time Megumi tried to summon a shikigami and ended up summoning a cursed cat spirit instead?" she asked, trying to stifle a giggle.

Yuji's eyes widened in amusement. "No way! Is that even possible? Megumi, is that true?" he called out, turning to their unenthused classmate.

Megumi sighed, shaking his head. "It was a one-time thing, and it's not even that funny," he muttered, clearly unamused by the topic of conversation. "It just appeared, I didn't summon it."

Nobara nudged Yuji with her elbow. "Come on, Megumi, you have to admit that's pretty hilarious. You accidentally summoned a cute little kitty instead of a shikigami. Even I can't help but laugh," she said, smirking.

As Yuji and Nobara erupted into laughter, Megumi couldn't help but crack a small smile, despite his efforts to appear unaffected. "Fine, fine. It was a mistake," he admitted grudgingly.

"By the way, where is Gojo-sensei?" Nobara asked. "It's almost been half a month and we barely see him. He does train us, but otherwise, he is nowhere!"

"He's been spending a lot of time with Naruto." Megumi said. "Training."

"Well—"

Just then, Yaga called out for them to resume their training, and the three students reluctantly got back to work. However, the lighthearted moment had lifted the mood, and they continued with renewed energy and a shared sense of camaraderie.

~• •~

Satoru Gojo looked at the five-year-old boy, Naruto, in front of him with a smile. "Are you ready, kid?" Gojo asked, ruffling the boy's hair.

"Yes, old-man-sensei!" the boy replied, his eyes shining with curiosity and excitement.

It's been two weeks since the Kamo guy tried to kidnap Naruto. After giving quite some thought, he understood that Naruto could learn anything. He just had to see it, that's it. However, there were some obvious conditions. For instance, his body must be ready to use the technique. Naruto had a knack for… everything. The boy was extremely fast too for some unknown reason. But he was not physically strong. That's why Gojo made a training routine for him. It included- push-ups, sit-ups, ten kilometre run everyday and plenty of juice. For some reason, Naruto was paranoid about losing all his hair… Anyways, back to…

"Good. Then let's begin. Today, I'm going to teach you about the Limitless and the Infinity, the core of our cursed technique. Do you know what they are?"

The boy nodded. "The Limitless is the ability to manipulate the space around us, right? And the Infinity is the concept of endlessness that we use to create barriers and shields."

"Correct. You're a smart one. But do you know how they work? How do you activate them?"

Naruto shook his head. "No, I don't. Please teach me."

Gojo chuckled. "Alright, then. Listen carefully. The Limitless is based on the idea of negative numbers. Do you know what negative numbers are?"

Naruto frowned. "Negative numbers? Like, minus one, minus two, minus three...?"

"Exactly. Negative numbers are numbers that are less than zero. They are opposite to positive numbers, which are greater than zero. Now, imagine a number line, with zero in the middle, and positive numbers on the right, and negative numbers on the left. Do you see it in your mind?"

Naruto closed his eyes and nodded.

"Good. Now, what happens if you keep adding positive numbers to each other? What do you get?"

The boy opened his eyes and answered. "You get bigger and bigger positive numbers, right?"

"Right. And what happens if you keep adding negative numbers to each other? What do you get?"

The boy thought for a moment. "You get... smaller and smaller negative numbers?"

"Exactly. And what happens if you add a positive number and a negative number together? What do you get?"

The boy hesitated. "You get... zero?"

"Not always. It depends on the size of the numbers. For example, if you add one and minus one, you get zero. But if you add two and minus one, you get one. And if you add one and minus two, you get minus one. Do you understand?"

The boy nodded slowly.

"Good. Now, here's the trick. The Limitless allows us to manipulate the space around us by using negative numbers. We can create negative space, which is space that is less than zero. Negative space is invisible, intangible, and impossible to measure. It is the opposite of normal space, which is positive space. Do you follow me so far?"

The boy nodded again.

"Good. Now, the Infinity is the concept of endlessness that we use to create barriers and shields. It is based on the idea of dividing by zero. Do you know what dividing by zero means?"

The boy shook his head. "No, I don't. What does it mean?"

Gojo smiled. "It means that you are trying to split something into zero parts. For example, if you have a cake, and you want to divide it by two, you get two pieces of cake. If you want to divide it by four, you get four pieces of cake. And so on. But what if you want to divide it by zero? How many pieces of cake do you get?"

The boy looked puzzled. "I don't know. None?"

"No, that's not the answer. The answer is that you can't divide by zero. It's impossible. It's undefined. It's infinite. Do you see why?"

The boy shook his head.

"Think about it. If you divide by zero, you are trying to make something that has no size, no shape, no existence. You are trying to make nothing. But nothing is not something. Nothing is nothing. You can't make anything out of something. It's a paradox. It's a contradiction. It's an anomaly. Do you get it?"

The boy nodded slowly.

"Good. Now, the Infinity allows us to create barriers and shields by using the concept of dividing by zero. We can create infinite space, which is space that is endless, boundless, and immeasurable. Infinite space is invisible, intangible, and impossible to breach. It is the ultimate defence, the ultimate protection. Do you follow me so far?"

The boy nodded again.

"Good. Now, let me show you the first technique of the Limitless, called the Reverse Red. It is a technique that reverses the sign of the space around you, and turns it from positive to negative, or from negative to positive. It is a technique that changes the nature of things, and makes them opposite to what they are. It is a versatile technique, but also a tricky one. You have to be precise and accurate, or you might end up changing something you don't want to change. Most people think that you can use it to push things away. But that's not true. Do you understand?"

The boy nodded.

"Good. Now, watch me. I'm going to use the Reverse Red on this rock. See this rock? It is a solid object, made of positive space. It has a shape, a size, a weight, a colour, a texture. It is a normal rock. But what if I use the Reverse Red on it? What do you think will happen?"

The boy looked at the rock, and tried to guess. "Will it become a liquid? Or a gas? Or a light? Or a sound?"

Gojo shook his head. "No, no, no, and no. Those are not the opposite of a solid. Those are different states of matter. The opposite of a solid is a hole. A hole is a negative space that has no shape, no size, no weight, no colour, no texture. It is an abnormal hole. Watch this." Gojo pointed his finger at the rock, and activated the Reverse Red. He reversed the sign of the space around the rock, and turned it from positive to negative. The rock disappeared, and a hole appeared in its place. The hole was black, empty, and silent. It was a perfect hole.

"See that? I used the Reverse Red on the rock, and turned it into a hole. I changed the nature of the rock, and made it opposite to what it was. This is the first technique of the Limitless, the Reverse Red. It is a technique that reverses the sign of the space around you, and turns it from positive to negative, or from negative to positive. Do you understand?"

Naruto nodded, his eyes wide with awe. 'Maybe, I can recreate Rasengan with this.'

"Good. Now, let me show you the second technique of the Limitless, called the Amplify Blue. It is a technique that amplifies the value of the space around you, and makes it bigger or smaller, depending on the sign. It is a technique that enhances or diminishes the quality of things, and makes them stronger or weaker, depending on the sign. It is a useful technique, but also a subtle one. You have to be careful and balanced, or you might end up amplifying or diminishing something too much. Do you understand?"

The boy nodded.

"Good. Now, watch me. I'm going to use Amplify Blue on this flower. See this flower? It is a beautiful object, made of positive space. It has a shape, a size— a life. It is a normal flower. But what if I use the Amplify Blue on it? What do you think will happen?"

The boy looked at the flower, and tried to guess. "Will it become bigger? Or brighter? Or more fragrant? Or more alive?"

Gojo nodded. "Yes, Those are all possible outcomes. But it depends on how much I amplify the value of the space around the flower. If I amplify it too much, it might become too big, too bright, too fragrant, or too alive. And that might not be good for the flower, or for us. Watch this." Gojo pointed his finger at the flower, and activated the Amplify Blue. He amplified the value of the space around the flower. The flower kept growing in size, until it was as big as a human. It looked majestic and magnificent, but also unnatural and out of place. "See that? I used the Amplify Blue on the flower, and made it bigger. I enhanced the quality of the flower, and made it stronger. This is the second technique of the Limitless, the Amplify Blue. It is a technique that amplifies the value of the space around you, and makes it bigger or smaller, depending on the sign. If you use it creatively, you can amplify the gravity and create a majestic attraction force- that's how I use it. Do you understand?"

The boy nodded, his eyes filled with wonder.

"Good. Now, let me show you the third and final technique of the Limitless, called the Hollow Purple. It is a technique that combines the Hollow Purple, the Reverse Red, and the Amplify Blue, and creates a new space that is neither positive nor negative, neither finite nor infinite, neither real nor unreal. It is a technique that transcends the boundaries of space, and creates a phenomenon that defies logic and reason. It is the ultimate technique, the ultimate attack. Do you understand?"

The boy shook his head. "No, I don't. How can you combine those techniques? How can you create such a space? What does it do?"

Gojo smiled. "You don't have to understand. You just have to see. I'm going to use the Hollow Purple on that mountain. See that mountain? It is a massive object, made of positive space. It has a shape, a size, a weight, a colour, a texture. It is a normal mountain. But what if I use the Hollow Purple on it? What do you think will happen?"

The boy looked at the mountain, and tried to guess. "Will it disappear? Or explode? Or change? Or move?"

Gojo shook his head. "No. Those are not the effects of the Hollow Purple. The Hollow Purple does something else. Something more. Something beyond." Gojo pointed his finger at a huge boulder, and activated the Hollow Purple. He combined the Reverse Red, and the Amplify Blue, and created a new space that was neither positive nor negative, neither finite nor infinite, neither real nor unreal. He created a phenomenon that transcended the boundaries of space, and defied logic and reason. He created a purple flash that engulfed the boulder, and everything around it. "See that? I used the Hollow Purple on the boulder, and created a purple flash. I transcended the boundaries of space, and created a phenomenon that defies logic and reason. This is the third and final technique of the Limitless, the Hollow Purple. It is a technique that combines the Reverse Red, and the Amplify Blue, and creates a new space that is neither positive nor negative, neither finite nor infinite, neither real nor unreal. Do you understand?"

The boy nodded as his brain processed the data.

"Good. Because you don't need to understand. You just need to use it. And that's what I'm going to teach you next. How to use the Hollow Purple, and how to master the Limitless. Are you ready, kid?"

The boy nodded, his eyes shining with determination and excitement.

"Good. Then let's begin. Today, you will learn the true meaning of the Limitless and the Infinity, the core of our cursed technique." Gojo smiled, and ruffled the boy's hair. 'And you will become the strongest Jujutsu sorcerer in the world.'- He added mentally. "Come on, kid. Follow me. The real training starts now."

~• •~

Yuji, Nobara and Megumi were on a mission to investigate a series of curses in a small town. They decided to take a break and visit a local manga shop that had a large collection of Naruto volumes.

"Wow, look at all these books!" Yuji exclaimed, picking up a random volume. "I've always wanted to read Naruto, but I never had the chance."

"You've never read Naruto?" Nobara asked, raising an eyebrow. "How can you call yourself a shonen fan?"

"I know, I know, it's a classic. But I was too busy training and fighting curses, you know?" Yuji defended himself.

"Well, you're missing out. Naruto is one of the best manga ever. It has everything: action, comedy, drama, romance, friendship, ninjas…" Nobara gushed.

"Ninjas?" Megumi repeated, looking bored. "That sounds lame."

"What? How can you say that? Ninjas are awesome!" Yuji argued.

"No, they're not. They're just people who wear masks and throw kunai. They're nothing compared to sorcerers." Megumi said.

"That's not true. Ninjas have amazing abilities, like chakra, jutsu, and summoning. They can do things that sorcerers can't." Yuji countered.

"Like what?" Megumi challenged.

"Like... like…" Yuji racked his brain, trying to remember what he had seen in the anime. "Like... Rasengan!"

"Rasengan?" Megumi asked.

"Yeah, Rasengan. It's a powerful technique that Naruto's dad invented. It's a ball of spinning chakra that can blast through anything." Yuji explained.

"Sounds like a simple blast of cursed energy to me." Megumi shrugged.

"No, it's not. It's way cooler. Here, let me show you." Yuji said, holding his hand out. He concentrated his cursed energy and tried to shape it into a ball. He then started to spin it rapidly, making a buzzing sound.

"What are you doing?" Nobara asked, watching him curiously.

"I'm doing Rasengan. See?" Yuji said, proudly showing his hand. It looked like a small, fuzzy ball of light.

"That's not Rasengan. That's just a ball of cursed energy. You're not spinning it fast enough." Nobara said.

"I am too. It's hard, okay? Naruto had to train for a long time to master it." Yuji said.

"Whatever. It still looks lame." Megumi said.

"It's not lame. It's awesome. Watch this." Yuji said, running towards a nearby shelf. He aimed his hand at a stack of books and shouted, "Rasengan!"

He slammed his hand into the books, expecting them to fly away. Instead, he felt a sharp pain in his palm and heard a loud thud. He looked at his hand and saw that it was bleeding. He had pierced his skin with the sharp edges of the books.

"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Yuji cried, clutching his hand.

"Idiot." Megumi said, rolling his eyes.

"Are you okay?" Nobara asked, rushing to his side.

"I'm fine, I'm fine. It's just a scratch." Yuji said, trying to act tough.

"Let me see, idiot." Nobara said, grabbing his hand. She examined his wound and frowned. "You need to disinfect this. Come on, let's go to the bathroom."

She dragged him away, leaving Megumi alone. He sighed and picked up a Naruto volume. He flipped through the pages and saw a scene where Naruto was fighting Sasuke. He read the dialogue and saw that they were talking about their bond, their rivalry, and their destiny.

He felt a pang of emotion in his chest. He remembered his own bond with his sister, his rivalry with Yuji, and his destiny as a Zenin. He wondered if he could ever understand Naruto's feelings, or if Naruto could ever understand his.

He closed the book and put it back on the shelf. He decided that Naruto was not lame, but it was not for him. He preferred to read something more realistic, like Death Note.

He walked to the other section of the shop and looked for a copy of Death Note. He found one and opened it. He saw a scene where Light was writing names in the notebook. He read the dialogue and saw that he was talking about his justice, his intelligence, and his godhood.

He felt a surge of admiration in his mind. He respected Light's logic, his strategy, and his ambition. He wondered if he could ever be like Light, or if Light could ever be like him.

He smiled and kept reading. He decided that Death Note was not realistic, but it was for him. He liked to read something more challenging, like Death Note.

But something in 'Naruto' manga reminded him of Tenodakume Gojo.

'Dattebayo!', ramen, nicknames…

~• •~

In the dimly lit chamber of shadows, four figures loomed, their auras pulsating with dark intent. Kenjaku, also known as Geto, the mastermind behind the sinister scheme, stood at the forefront, his piercing gaze holding the attention of his fellow cursed spirits – Jogo, Hanami, and Mahito. The air crackled with anticipation as they gathered to discuss their nefarious plan to unleash chaos upon Shibuya and seal the legendary sorcerer, Satoru Gojo.

Kenjaku's voice cut through the silence like a blade through flesh, each word dripping with malice and calculation. "So," he began, his tone commanding obedience, "the time has come to strike fear into the hearts of humanity. Shibuya shall be our stage, and chaos our symphony."

Jogo, his flames flickering in agreement, nodded fervently. "Yes, let us engulf the streets in fire and blood. None shall dare oppose us."

Hanami, the embodiment of nature's fury, spoke next, vines twisting around their form in eager anticipation. "The concrete jungle shall tremble beneath the might of our onslaught. The very earth will rise to aid us."

Mahito, his unsettling visage contorted into a grin, interjected with a voice that sent shivers down even the stoutest spine. "And amidst the chaos, we shall weave our threads of despair. Every soul shall be touched by the hand of fear, and none shall find solace in the darkness."

Kenjaku's eyes gleamed with satisfaction as his comrades echoed his sentiments, their unity a testament to their shared desire for destruction. "But our ultimate prize," he continued, his voice lowering to a dangerous whisper, "lies in the capture of Satoru Gojo. With him sealed away, the balance of power will shift in our favour. The age of curses shall dawn anew."

Jogo's flames danced with anticipation, casting eerie shadows across the chamber. "Gojo may be powerful, but he is not invincible. Together, we shall overwhelm him and claim victory."

Hanami's vines tightened around their form, a silent promise of nature's wrath. "He may wield the might of sorcery, but even the strongest tree can be felled by a well-placed strike."

Mahito's grin widened, his eyes alight with sadistic glee. "And when we have him in our grasp, we shall strip away his defences and revel in his suffering. His defeat shall serve as a warning to all who dare oppose us."

With their plan laid bare, the four cursed spirits stood united, their resolve unshakeable and their thirst for chaos insatiable. Shibuya would soon bear witness to their malevolent glory, and Satoru Gojo would fall before their might, his fate sealed by their dark design. The stage was set, and the curtain about to rise on a tale of terror and triumph.

~• •~

In the mystical realm of caffeinated destiny, where the aroma of freshly brewed potions danced through the air, Naruto, the spiky-haired wonder, found himself trailing after Satoru, the 'great uncle'. The older man's gait was deliberate, as if he carried secrets in the folds of his apron.

"Where are we going, old man?" Naruto's impatience bubbled forth like an over-caffeinated espresso machine. His sneakers squeaked on the polished floor, echoing through the cosy cafe.

"Just wait, almost there," Satoru replied cryptically, his eyes twinkling behind round spectacles. He pushed open the cafe's door, revealing a tableau of destiny—a certain table bathed in golden sunlight. Naruto squinted, his Six-Eyes narrowing at the sight.

And there, perched upon a chair like a mythical creature who'd traded his wings for a caffeine addiction, sat a blonde man. His blue shirt clung to his chest like a loyal friend, and his cream-coloured pants whispered secrets of comfort.

"Who are you?" Naruto blurted out, plopping down on the chair opposite the enigmatic stranger. The man's expression remained as blank as an unsweetened latte.

"Naru-chan," Satoru's voice dripped with mischief, "Meet my good friend, Nanami Kento! Nanami, this is my cute little genius nephew, Tenodakume Gojo. But you can call him Naruto. Say hi to each other!"

Nanami adjusted his sunglasses, the world reflected in their dark lenses. "Hello, Naruto-kun," he drawled, as if sipping on a rare blend. "I hope we can get along."

Naruto leaned back, his grin as wide as the Grand Canyon. "Hello, weird glass-wearing, stone-faced guy." His words were a playful jab, like a cinnamon stick stirring a cup of chai.

"That's the spirit!" Satoru's laughter erupted like a frothy cappuccino.

"Satoru, did your nephew just disrespect me?" Nanami tilted his glasses.

Nanami's gaze remained unyielding. "Did I say that out loud?" Naruto scratched his head, feigning innocence.

"Uh, maybe?"

"It just slipped out," Naruto confessed. "Hope you won't take it to heart, sunglass-man."

Nanami raised an eyebrow. "An improvement, indeed. But call me by my name."

"'Kay." Naruto turned to Satoru, eyes wide. "Why are we here again? Is this some secret coffee society?"

Satoru leaned in, his voice conspiratorial. "He's going to be your new sensei!"

"Huh?!" Naruto's brain short-circuited. 'You are dumping me, old man?!"

"You didn't tell him anything, huh?" Nanami sighed, as if dealing with a caffeine-induced headache. "Naruto-kun, get ready for missions. With me."
