Naruto stared at his dead father while he rested peacefully in his coffin
His older cousin stood beside as the sound of his mother sobbed in Utahime-nee's shoulders."I failed Karin. . i made a promise and failed to deliver it" Naruto softly said and Karin put her arms around her little cousin shoulders."Your a kid Naruto. .what exactly could've you done?" Karin said with a small smile "You can only learn and grow from this" Karin said"

"I dont think this is practical sensei" Naruto said as he watched Gojo try to shove Yuji in a box."I think it's supposed to be. . .cool" Junpei muttered and Satoru and Yuji nodded."I mean if you must" Naruto sighed as Tiki bounced up and down on his head. "Hey, what ever happened to those fingers?" Yuji asked and Naruto, now wearing a black hoodie and loose black pants, shrugged "I don't know" and Gojo smiled "Nanami submitted them to the higher ups".
"Now Naruto about that present money" Gojo smirked and Naruto raised an eyebrow
Naruto and Junpei walked up the steps of Tokyo high and saw the group waiting with Nobara holding a suitcase."Oi Nobara why are you holding a suitcase?" Naruto asked and the girl hung her head down."I thought we were going to Kyoto." Nobara whined and Naruto shook his head."Don't worry. .I can take you sometime" Naruto said and the girl rushed up and hugged his arm. "You'll buy me dinner too right?" She asked under a starry pink sky while Naruto blushed and nodded. "Man, you didn't tell me you're such a pushover" Junpei said, getting everyone's attention with Naruto glaring.
"Oh. .who are you?" Nobara asked and Junpei's face planted."Gojo-sensei didn't say anything?" Junpei said and Naruto sighed."This is Yoshino Junpei and he's a new first year" Naruto said and everyone else tilted his head."Welcome to Jujutsu High I supposed" Nobara said.
Hearing footsteps they turned and saw a group of students led by a red-haired teen girl with a black crop top and black skirt with a pair of glasses."Karin!" Naruto grinned and got his face pushed back by Karin Uzumaki."It's been a while hasn't cuz" Karin said before smiling "Well hello Megumi-kun" and the boy took a visible step back.
"Can you stop preying on my friend for a minute and address me" Naruto said to the the third year student."Honestly. .you're not that interesting lil cuz" Karin said and Naruto clutched his chest "My heart' he whispered.
"Anywho" Karin said "Nice to meet the fresh meat and where the hell is Hakari" Karin asked and Mai leaned and whispered in her ear."THE HELL YOU MEAN THEY GOT SUSPENDED! THOSE DUMB ASS ELDERS RUINING OUR RUN BACK" Karin yelled, shaking a boy with a ponytail and a scar on his face while a blue-haired girl watched in worry.
"Anyways" Nobara said "Hurry up and hand over the cake box" she said "and the yatsuhashi,kudzu noodles, and buckwheat cookies" she was listing off and Karin jaw hit the floor."Actually that doesn't sound half bad" Naruto said "Though some pork miso ramen would smack right now".Karin eye twitched before Mai walked up with a box "I hate that you actually brought food" she said getting her friend shrugged "I thought Naruto-kun would be hungry" she respond and Naruto and Nobara nodded rapidly.
"Those first years are scary" Momo Nishimiya said, a petite blonde girl holding a broom in hand and two long pigtails. "Never mind Okkotsu being absent" said Kokichi Muta said "isn't having three first years and a newbie a handicap" he added."Age is irrelevant to jujutsu sorcerers" Kamo Noritoshi said with his usual calm expression "Uzumaki-san is a first year and yet a special grade just like Okkotsu".
"Yeah well I mean he has a special grade cursed technique" said Miwa Kasumi with a small smile and Naruto shook his head."No way Miwa-senpai" Naruto said "The curse technique doesn't make the sorcerer just look at Megumi dad and Maki-senpai" Naruto said and the Ten Shadow user nodded in agreement.
"Okay now everyone" a soft voice said clapping her hands and from the steps he saw a purple hair woman wearing shrine miko like clothes and a bow on her head.Iori Utihime smiled looking at the students "Now where is that foolish husband of mines" she said and Naruto shrugged "I don't know. .he's always late Utahime nee-chan" the blond said just as said sorcerer pulled up rolling a crate and Naruto facepalmed.
"Sorry i'm late i was on a work trip overseas" Gojo said "But now i will hand over souvenirs" he said and passed out protection charms to all the students of the Kyoto students."Woah. .thanks Gojo-nii" Karin said examining her doll."Sorry i forgot one for you Uti-hime" he said getting his wife to yell out "I don't need one".
"And for everyone from Tokyo,we have this!" Gojo said and from it Itadori Yuji popped out rocking Megumi and Nobara to the core."I told you this was a dumbass idea" Naruto said as the others didn't seem to care while Megumi and Nobara were paralyzed."They don't seem happy at all" Yuji said and Naruto huffed "Well i mean you were dead and a week later here you are alive and well" Naruto said "And the others don't even know who are".Yuji nodded in realization "Oh yea. .makes sense" he said.
Hopping out he approached the two others as others arrived."Okay everyone from Kyoto this is Sukuna Vessel" Gojo said and they were too absorbed in the talisman toys.
"Sukuna's Vessel" the kyoto principal Gakuganji said walking with Yaga, Kushina, and Itachi "What is the meaning of this?!" he said.
"Principle Gakuganji" Gojo cheered "Oh thank goodness" he said before bending to face level "I was worried you might just die from shock" he said before Utahime pulled him back chastising him while Gakuganji glared.Itadori pouted at being ignored before Nobara and Megumi walked up "You got something to say" Nobara said lip quivering in emotion and Yuji looked down in shame "Damn Naruto was right" he thought as Naruto and Junpei joined. "Good to have the core 4 back plus 1" Naruto smirked and Nobara shedded a tear as Megumi began shaking Itadori.
Fireworks went off
"The Tokyo-Kyoto Sister School Exchange Event will be held over two days" Kushina said "Day 1 will be a group battle in. . ." she said, gesturing to Gojo and Utahime holding signs."THE WACKY CURSED SPIRIT EXORCISM RACE" the husband and wife said in unison."The rules are simple" Kushina said "The first team to exorcize the second grade cursed spirit released in the designated area wins" she said showing off a map of the area.
"Several third grade and lower cursed spirits will be released into the designated area as well" Yaga said "If a winner is not decided by sundown the team who exocize the most lower curses wins". Kushina looked at the lined up students "Of course with no other rules you are free to sabotage the others but remember you're all on the same side in the fight against the curses" Kushina said "This exchange event will allow you to learn about yourselves and the other sorcerers in Japan so tension will not do".
Kushina smiled while she held Gojo down with her superior physical strength while Utahime chuckled "Killing or injury beyond recovery is strictly forbidden" Utahime said."That's it! You're all dismissed until the event commences at noon" Kushina said.
"Ya know. . this is bullying" Naruto said as both he and Itadori held up frames "Shut up and stay like that for a while" Nobara huffed."Why isn't Junpei struggling like us" Yuji said.
"He didn't hide that you were alive and made me grieve" Nobara said."Now Now" Panda said "You heard his explanation.Cut him some slack". Naruto nodded rapidly "You heard Panda-senpai! Let us go please" the blond begged and Yuji reeled "The panda talked?!" he and Junpei said "Salmon Salmon" Toge said and both boys turned to him "What" they said."Inumaki-senpai is a cursed speech user so his cursed energy amplifies the compulsion of his words. . .he can't use normal words or he might hurt others" Naruto said and Junpei blinked "Wow that's powerful. .so if you say someone go die they die?" he asked.
"It depends on his strength relative to the target. .the stronger the target and the more complex the command the more backlash commanding them will cause" Naruto said.
"So if he tells Junpei to jump he will jump but he says the same to Gojo and his throat might blow out" Naruto said and Yuji and Junpei nodded."So how are you able to speak senpai?" Yuji asked "Are you some new breed of panda?" and Naruto's eyes widened seeing Nobara eating the food Mai made him.
"HEY!! What the hell is this?!" the blond yelled and Nobara smirked."Maybe you shouldn't have hid Yuji being alive from me" she said haughtily and Naruto growled foaming at the mouth as she at his ramen."More important" Maki said walking up to Yuji "Give me back Slaughter Demon" Maki said "You borrowed it from Satoru right?" she asked and Yuji remembered breaking it trying it hit the curse womb. "Uhhh Gojo-sensei has it" the salmon hair teen lied and Megumi and Naruto raised an eyebrow.
Gojo meanwhile had a strange feeling he was thrown under the bus.
"So what's the plan" Maki asked and Naruto dropped the frame and took his food back from Nobara while blocking her with his other hand."Okay so now with Yuji we can do my own plan" Naruto said "Itadori is a master combat specialist better than even Panda and Maki and maybe Todo" Naruto said and Maki eyes widened a bit "And with Junpei cursed technique we can-" Naruto was saying until his phone rang."Uhh hey its Karin. .Yo Karin" Naruto said, answering.

"Everyone in Kyoto will be gunning for Itadori Yuji's head" Karin said from her room "And i'm talking lethally"
~
"W-what" Naruto said in shock getting the others attention and Nauto quickly put the phone on speaker."You're on speaker" he said."-Principal Gakuganji whether on his orders or the higher ups order us to attack Itadori with lethal intent-" Karin repeated getting gasps from the others."Thank you Karin i owe you one" Naruto said and the girl scoffed "-No need i hate underhand tactics like this-" she said before hanging up.
"So now what now?" Megumi said and Naruto stood up "Well respond in kind. . we'll go all our. .this is more than just a game" Naruto said and Maki nodded and Yuji sighed "Why things always have to be complicated" he said and Naruto shrugged "I don't know but it definitely have to do with annoying old men and their stupid traditions" Naruto said before looking at the clock and smirking.
"Game time boys" Naruto said
They stepped out and began walking towards the event."You know. .I still want to win. .even if everyone is trying to kill me" Yuji said and Megumi nodded."I do too. .so I hope you won't let this knowledge hold you down" Megumi said and Naruto wrapped his arms around the two.
"Then let's lock in and win" the blond grinned.
Hanami stood observing from a distance as Naruto and the others were heading towards the fighting arena."Hmm his curse energy is different from what expected" Hanami said.
"Of course. . .curse techniques changes based on the user interpretation" Geto said walking next to Hanami wearing a Jujutsu uniform."What do you mean?" Hanami asked and the false human smirked."Well Lady Mito spirits were shaped like deities and were small in numbers" Kenny said calmly "But each one were special grade in power. .all suited to fight".
"Naruto's in comparison are more versatile and more in numbers" Geto said "Its like Lady Mito curse technique is a armory and Naruto's is a utility belt".Hanami then turned to Naruto "His body is unique as well" she said and Geto raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Normally the Color of Hallow just altered their normal curse energy" Hanami said "But Naruto's act like a second reserve of curse energy. . Like a slowly unraveling chain of positive energy" Hanami said.
"No wonder Mahito can't touch his soul. . . His soul is protected by his curse energy" Kenny said and Hanami nodded."Though I must question. . .what exactly happens when that chain unravels" Geto asked and Hanami paused."I don't know. . but I feel like it's something titanic" she said.
Here me out gang. . .
. . .
Anyways there might be questions but they will be solved in due time.
Do y'all want a filler chapter covering the Mito vs Sukuna fight? Let me know.
Yes Kokichi is not restrained by his heavenly restriction and all i got to say is it has something to do with Karin's Open Heaven Gate.

Also some Clarification for the disaster curses feat slight spoilers feel free time skip.
In terms of power in a void (Curse Technique Potential):
Hanami
Mahito
Jogo
Dagon
In terms of power (taking advantages in account).
Hanami
Jogo
Mahito
Dagon
Hanami in this AU is not just the disaster of tree nature but the manifestation of all natural disasters.She can use Jogo's Disaster Flames (to a weaker degree) and Dagon Disaster Tides (again weaker) plus much more to be revealed.
Mahito (at least currently) has no efficient long range combat against Hanami skills she could just decimente him from a distance without him getting close enough to usd Idle Transfiguration.
This is why Mahito called Hanami the true queen of curses.This might cause confusion with Rika but do note that no sorceror aside from the curses and Kenjaku knows what Hanami can do.
