16 Set Up

-Location: Fukuoka, Kyushu Mountains-

-Next Day-

-POV: Narrator-

Naoto could be seen floating about the Kyushu mountains, observing the land ahead of him:

He had a smile on his face as the threat he was dealing with is a special grade cursed spirit. He was hoping that it gives him a good fight, since the only person who can is Gojo.

"I can sense the spirit but it's deliberately hiding from me. Oh well, I'll just force it to come out." Said Naoto as he made a hand seal.

After saying the chant for a curtain, a black veil is lowered over the entire mountain range.

"Now, time to kill a curse." Said Naoto as he teleported to the location of the cursed spirits.

He appeared right above the curse and looked down.

"You can stop hiding. I know you're there." Said Naoto with a calm but commanding voice.

After he finished a dog like creature appeared and bared its fangs at Naoto.

"A Raiju? This is surprising. Did the higher ups to this because we use the same power?" Questioned Naoto as he looked at the beast.

The beast had grey fur with yellow highlights. Its eyes were shining yellow with long knife like fangs.

"Let's see if you're as strong as they say you are." Said Naoto as he summoned his Shikigami.

"Manto you can handle him right? I'll sit back and watch." Said Naoto as he created a storm cloud and sat down.

Manto nodded before teleporting away and engaging in the fight with the Raiju. Naoto just sat back and relaxed.

"Dammit, I should've brought some snacks." Said Naoto as he watched Manto send blades at Raiju.

Manto sent a flurry of blades at Raiju who used an aura of lightning to keep the away from it.

The Raiju then leaped into the sky, and continued to go all the way above the clouds. The clouds the started to turn dark and thunder could be heard.

"I can see it's charging up a powerful attack. It may destroy one of the mountains here, and we don't want that do we?" Said Naoto as he stood up and created a magnetic field around the mountain range.

This magnetic field would keep the lightning bolts from destroying the mountains. He didn't want to change any geological features on the maps.

"Finish this quickly Manto, Maki and Asami want to go see the new blade runner movie." Said Naoto as he sat back down on his cloud.

Manto nodded and began to get serious. He summoned millions of blades and shot them towards Raiju at supersonic speeds.

Raiju could withstand it for a while but soon it started to wear down and loose control of its cursed energy.

Soon it was riddled with blades. Its body became heavy and it fell to the ground. Naoto appeared before it and looked at it with pity.

"How about I make you my Shikigami? You will love and you will become more powerful. Manto easily felt with you and he used 50% of his true power." Said Naoto as he kneeled down and started to pet the Raiju.

"So, deal?" Asked Naoto as he smiled.

His eyes then flashed red and a smile formed on his face.

"Well, it seems Ogi is still at it with his shenanigans. He keeps sending curse users after me, and each time I kill them and send them back.

This has been happening for the past year now. Ogi had sent curse users after him and his children many times. But each time they would be sent back to Ogi with a smiley face sticker on their body.

Naot just touched the Raijus head and the sealed him inside of a talisman. He then commanded Manto to return.

"Now we can get started since you're so impatient." Said Naoto as he turned to the direction of the curse user.

A man with bandages around his head walked out while having a menacing smile on his face.

He had a sword in his hand that radiated an immense amount of cursed energy. Naoto looked at the sword and frowned.

"So you discovered me huh? Well no matter, I'll just kill you and collect your bounty." Said the curse user.

"You? Kill me? That a funny joke coming from someone that has weak cursed energy like you." Said Naoto as he mocked the curse user.

"You say that now, but when I present you head to my contractor, then you'll be the laughing stock." Said the curse user.

"Well, let's get this over with. I have some plans and you're ruining them." Said Naoto as he disappeared and reappeared behind the curse user.

But to his surprise the curse user reacted to his teleportation. He turned around and unsheathed his sword and swung at Naoto.

FWOOOOOSH

BANG

Naoto easily deflected the black but was surprised that he was slightly injured by the blade.

Naoto then retreated and heal his hand. He looked at the blade and began to understand.

"That blade? It completely ignored my cursed energy, didn't it?" Asked Naoto.

"Good, you've figured it out. When they said you were a genius, I thought they were exaggerating. But it seems to be the truth." Said the curse user.

"The famed cursed blade, Kenjin. A blade that ignores cursed energy. Anything that has cursed energy will be cut, so you better watch out." Said the curse user with a smile.

Naoto nodded and decided to gamble on this idea he thought of a while back. He closed his eyes and removed any negative thoughts he had, which were not many.

He was in a state a put tranquility. Nothing in this cursed world could take him away from his mind.

Soon, blue lightning started to circulate around Naoto's body and from a sort of armor.

Then the lightning started to slowly change color. The once blue lightning was now a radiant white color.

The user didn't feel an ounce of cursed energy in Naoto's body. It's like he became a different being entirely.

Naoto opened his eyes and looked at himself. He smiled and nod at his success, but he felt that he couldn't hold this form for long.

He decided to call this form.

(A/n: It's lucks transformation but with white lightning instead.)

"What the hell did you do? Why can't I feel your cursed energy?" Asked the curse user out of desperation.

"Because it's gone. I made a binding vow that lets me use only positive energy for five minutes. In exchange, I can't use cursed energy for a day and I lose an arm. Hell of a gamble right?" Asked Naoto as he smiled and then disappeared.

He appeared next to the cursed user with his fingers at his throat. The curse users cursed technique couldn't keep up with Naoto's speed, so he didn't know that it was coming.

The cursed users curse technique was Precognition. It gave him the ability to see the future but only if his life was In danger.

Naoto was so fast that the activation of the cursed users technique couldn't keep up. That's why he wasn't able to react.

And that was what made his slash at Naoto without knowing he was there. His sense of danger was so high that his technique wasn't needed.

But he didn't come out unscathed. The curse user was wounded and had to retreat, to which Naoto seen where he would go a met him there.

He kicked the curse user, and sent him flying towards one of the mountains. The curse user hit the side of the mountain so hard that it created a crater.

"Damn, looks like I put a dent into the mountain." Said Naoto with a smile.

He then teleported near the curse user who was kneeling down. Naoto could see that the curse user had his hand on his sword.

{New Shadow Style Iai Ittoryลซ: Eclipsing Moon}

The curse user did a full circle slash and curved out a small piece of the mountain while trying to hit Naoto who just tanked the attack.

He did get slashed but since his body is currently using positive energy, instead of cursed energy. His wounds would just heal automatically.

"That's some good swordsmanship, you may be able to beat Asami and Maki." Said Naoto.

And he was telling the truth. The curse user had the strength to beat the current maki and Asami.

Now if it was fully realized maki and a more experienced Asami. Then that should go without saying. They would slaughter him.

"You know you're really starting to piss me off. You Zen'in are all the same. Toji Zen'in was like this too." Said the curse user.

Naoto's eyes narrowed at the mention of Toji's name. No matter how hard he tries, as a Zen'in, he had to live with the curse of Toji's name.

"Why are you talking about ancient history. He's dead, leave it that way." Said Naoto as he decided to kill the guy.

He appeared in front of the curse user and ran his hand through his chest. The cackling of the lightning sounded like thousands of birds chirping.

ใ€š๐•ฎ๐–š๐–—๐–˜๐–Š๐–‰ ๐•ฟ๐–Š๐–ˆ๐–๐–“๐–Ž๐––๐–š๐–Š ๐•ฝ๐–Š๐–›๐–Š๐–—๐–˜๐–Š๐–‘: ๐•ฎ๐–๐–Ž๐–‰๐–”๐–—๐–Žใ€›

After he ran the curse user through the chest, he pulled out his arm and seen the damage.

The curse user's body started to disintegrate. This caught Naoto by surprise, as he didn't know this is what positive lightning could do.

(A/n: Hold your questions, it'll be explained at the end of the chapter.)

As he was looking at the slowly disappearing body. He felt the time limit come and instantly collapsed.

"Damn, the drawbacks with this technique is heavy. I have to find a way to use this without the help of a binding vow." Said Naoto as he looked at his missing arm.

He sighed then took out his phone to call Satoru.

{Naoto, did you finish your mission?} asked Gojo.

"Yeah, but you're gonna have to pick me up. I'll explain when you get here and see for yourself." Said Naoto.

{Okay, I'm coming now.} said Gojo as he hung up.

Naoto put his phone away and just say in the grass. He looked over and seen the curse users sword sitting in the crater.

"Maki wanted a sword right? Well, guess I'll give her this one." Said Naoto as he stood up and went to the sword.

As he picked it up, Gojo appeared behind him.

Gojo looked around and seen all the destruction that Naoto had caused.

"Ya know the higher ups aren't gonna like this." Said Gojo with a smile.

"Who cares, they could go die and no one would miss them." Said Naoto as he carried the sword.

Gojo chuckled and then noticed that Naoto's arm was missing. Seeing this Naoto went on to explain what happened.

Gojo sighed and thought that the Zen'in clan are a bunch of morons. They are trying to kill their strongest clan member.

Gojo knew that it was only Ogi that would do something like this, but he also knew Naobito wasn't stupid. He should know all of Ogi's actions for the past year.

"Let's get back to jujutsu high, we can let the Fukuoka branch deal with the aftermath." Said Gojo as he held Naoto's shoulder and disappeared.

-Location: Jujutsu Tech(Tokyo)-

Gojo and Naoto arrived and went their separate ways. Naoto went to find Maki and seen her training with Asami.

They were going at it with each other, and from what Naoto could tell. Maki wasn't holding back, even though she doesn't know how to.

Naoto just sat down and watch the match continue. Maki had the upper hand in the physical department, whilst Asami had her in versatility.

She utilized her swordsmanship, and curse in tandem. She used the curse for defense then used her swordsmanship as offense.

She then ran towards Maki and drew her sword in a quick motion.

In a quirk slash she attempted to knock Maki out, but to her surprise. It was dodged by Maki instead.

Maki held the Naginata towards the back of Asami's head and told her to Yield.

Asami complied and sheathed her sword. She sighed and then noticed Naoto watching them. She was about to greet him until she saw his arm.

Maki seen this and immediately rushed towards Naoto.

"What the hell happened to your arm?" Asked Maki with a concerned expression.

"It was a gamble. I used a binding vow so I could test something. It worked, so know I have to figure out how to do it without a binding vow." Said Naoto.

Both Asami and Maki sighed and just sat down next to him. Maki noticed the sword on his lap, and looked at it with curiosity.

"I got this from the curse user that tried to kill me. You said you needed another sword so here you go." Said Naoto as he handed her the sword.

Maki took the sword, stood up and unsheathed it. She swung it a few times and nodded in satisfaction.

Naoto smiled and then told the that he was going to his room. He was tired and wanted to get some sleep.

Because the next few months will be interesting.

-To Be Continued-

=================================

The way Naoto's white lightning works, is that since it's made from positive energy, it had a different effect from his regular lightning.

When someone it hit with the white lightning, they will start to disintegrate. And the reason for that is the lightning has the properties to destroy something at an atomic level.

So no healing for any of his enemies.
