Author's Note: This story is based on the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, which has some variations from the anime. If you find any discrepancies in the dialogues or scenarios, I invite you to research how it was in the manga. It's a story of short chapters, as I find it unnecessary to be a detailed episode (I don't know how to write long chapters).

I apologize if there are grammatical errors, I write in Spanish and translate it into English.

(I've planned the story poorly, and I'll pay the consequences now, I'm removing Itadori's Shikigami from the story, I'm sorry for the people who were expecting it to appear, but I prefer to remove it so that the story doesn't lose its meaning, thank you for your understanding)

Shibuya Tower

22:01

"Do you think the sorcerers will notice?" asked a short, bald man. He was on the edge of the building looking at the barrier they were protecting. After asking the question, he turned around and walked towards his two companions: a tall man with a mohawk and an old woman with a wrinkled face.

"This is the highest and most notorious place within the curtain, right?" he asked again, addressing his team, his family.

"Maybe, yes," answered the old woman, her voice was soft due to old age. "Yes, but even if they notice…" continued the man with the mohawk, his gaze drifted downwards, hinting at something.

"Heh, you're right," said the short man with a cunning smile. "Even if they notice, the lower floors are full of modified humans. It would take them quite a while to get up here."

Suddenly, a voice echoed in the night: "I found them!"

The team of three turned their gaze in surprise, seeing a teenager flying with only black pants as clothing. The darkness of the night was illuminated by the flames produced by his feet.

The young man landed softly on the building, about five meters from the family who was still watching him attentively. Their postures tensed as they recognized the boy.

Itadori began to speak, his gaze lowered on the nails that erected the barrier nailed to the ground. "I really don't enjoy hitting other sorcerers…" The boy looked up, his eyes glowing red. "Hand over the nails and I'll let you go."

But his warning was met with violence. The sorcerers, defying his patience, attacked him as soon as he finished speaking.

Itadori received the tall man's frontal blow with his palm, while moving his head to one side to dodge an attack from behind by the bald man. "You wanted it this way," Itadori lamented, while he continued to easily dodge the dual attack of the sorcerers.

'But first the barrier,' thought the pink-haired boy, shifting his attention to the nails that erected the barrier. He moved quickly towards them, but Jiro, the bald man, being closer, blocked his path. This earned Itadori a sigh of resignation.

"You really don't know when to give up, old man," praised Itadori, his fist advancing forcefully towards the old man's stomach, who was smiling confidently.

Jiro Awasaka's technique, Reversion, had the ability to transform strong attacks into weak ones and vice versa. However, this technique had its limitations. Extremely weak attacks, like a baby's punch or air resistance, did not turn into strong attacks, and extremely strong attacks simply went through his technique.

Jiro's confidence in his technique faded in an instant. His face was a carousel of emotions: it went from security to a sharp pain, from pain to overwhelming confusion and from confusion to…

Jiro fell to the ground like a rag doll, blood gushing from his mouth, his eyes were blank

…unconsciousness.

Itadori, disregarding that he had just broken a man's confidence, continued his way to the nails. With a quick movement, he broke the two nails that were there, but to his surprise, the barrier did not fall as expected.

Itadori began to search with his gaze, his eyes scanning the environment until they finally rested on the old woman. 'There it is,' he thought to himself, and began to walk towards her. However, the tall man, stood in his way.

"Again?" asked Itadori before his body vanished into thin air, leaving the tall man in a state of confusion.

"Give it to me, grandma," he heard behind him.

As he turned around, he saw Itadori kneeling in front of the old woman, his hand extended towards her in a gesture of request. The tall man reacted quickly, moving to attack the kneeling Itadori's head with a quick and powerful kick.

The pink-haired sorcerer moved his head to one side, and even while kneeling, he moved the remaining leg that was still on the ground as a support point for the man.

The tall man began to fall, but he never touched the ground. His eyes widened as he saw a fist approaching his face quickly. 'Shit,' he managed to think, before his body was thrown several meters on the roof, dragging before finally stopping.

The old woman, observed the surroundings, seeing her two grandsons lying on the ground, an image that terrified her. Then she looked forward again, facing a scene that would cause her nightmares for the rest of her life.

"Give it to me, grandma," Itadori repeated with a kind voice that contrasted with his red eyes that were looking directly at her and a smile that completed that expression, his hand still extended towards her in a gesture of request.

But for the poor old woman, his kind voice echoed in her ears like that of a demon threatening her. With a trembling movement, the result of the fear that enveloped her, she handed a small object to Itadori's hand.

"Thank you, grandma, you should go home, at this age it is not safe for you to be out at this time of night," Itadori said carefully, a genuine warning because of the cold that night. But for the old woman, his words sounded like a threat, as if he was hinting that if she didn't leave, something bad could happen to her.

Itadori, propelled by his flames, quickly flew in one direction, leaving the old woman alone on top of that building.

"How do I get down from here?" murmured the old woman, looking around with confusion.

Scene change

"How long ago did Itadori leave?" asked Ino, his voice echoing in the cold night air, towards Megumi. Both were in front of a barrier, their eyes fixed on a tall building that rose in the distance.

"About 3 minutes, I think we should-" Megumi began to respond, but his sentence was abruptly cut off when he saw the barrier in front of him suddenly disappear. 'Well done, Itadori,' he praised.

"I'm sorry, I was taking my time!" shouted Itadori as he landed in front of two incredulous sorcerers.

'Did you take your time?!', thought Ino, looking in astonishment at Itadori because he had achieved his goal in just 3 minutes and yet he thought he had taken a long time.

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I realized that if we only put Itadori's fights in the Shibuya arc, a maximum of about 3 chapters would pass in the anime, as this is added with flashbacks, scene changes, etc.

That, added to the fact that this Itadori is stronger, will be much shorter than I thought. Changes made in this chapter: Ino is still in a fight, Toji was not summoned.
