-Kyoto Teachers POV-
'I can feel the heavy presence of the cursed! Could it possibly be a Special-Grade' Utahime thought
"Hey, hey, hey, hey!" Juzo said, "Where is Gojo Satoru?!" He asked
'A Curse user. He's not the source of this presence, but he seems quite strong' Juzo thought, looking at Gakuganji. "That depraved monk... He tricked me!" Juzo said
"Utahime, leave this to me." Gakuganji said, "Saving the students is our priority, avoid fighting as much as you can." Gakuganji takes out his electric guitar.
"Wait a minute! At least let me kill the woman!" Juzo said, "I can't make anything out of some old geezer's hollow bones and wrinkled skin!"
"Hollow, huh? Why don't you kill me and find out how hollow my bones really are?!" Gakuganji said
"Get back to me after you drink some milk! You rotting geezer!" Juzo said
-Back To Megumi, Inumaki, and Noritoshi-
All three of them are seen running away from the tree root that is attacking them.
"Are you okay, Inumaki-senpai?" Megumi said after looking at Inumaki Drinking another cough syrup
"Salmon(Affirm)" Inumaki replied, sweating all over his face.
Hanami creates three balls of wood.
"Here it comes!!" Noritoshi warned them.
A spike appeared on each ball.
"Stop!" Inumaki said.
And the balls and its spike halt in the air.
"Convergence!" Noritoshi clapped the blood in his hand. "Piercing Blood"
A stream of blood flew in high speed towards Hanami's face, breaking one of the branches on his head.
"!" Megumi was shocked at this: 'He managed to hurt it! Was he just going easy on me?" He thought
"Hurry! It'll be after us again soon enough," Noritoshi said.
All three of them continued to run away from the cursed spirit.
"Koff!" Inumaki cough
'We'll have Inumaki to stop it so we can keep some distance between us after we attack. We're trying to reach the other side of the "Curtain" And join up with the principals by repeating this, but how long can we keep this up? Inumaki Cursed-Speech is losing effect, we can't get in touch with the teachers either, we're done if it figures out how to deal with Cursed-Speech. We don't know the cursed spirits objective, it's also possible that the principal and the other teachers aren't coming here, we don't know what happened to Sasori, finding Todo is a priority, even Miwa would do at this point.' Noritoshi thought
All three of them jump to another rooftop.
"Inumaki-senpai will stop it." Megumi said to his Shikigami, "Don't be afraid."
"Fwoosh"
Nue fly towards Hanami.
Inumaki opened his mouth, trying to say something.
But Hanami's movement is not stopping, he then stabs Nue.
Inumaki fell to the ground, vomiting blood.
'Inumaki reached his limit first!' Noritoshi thought
Hanami appeared in front of Noritoshi, punching him hard.
"Whaam!"
Noritoshi's body flew back after that.
Spike appeared around Noritoshi, but before it hit him, Megumi pulled him back.
"Are you still alive, Kamo-san?!" Megumi asked, not taking his eyes off Hanami.
'The Cursed-Speech that senpai used wasn't particularly strong, but his throat gave out, the enemy is that much stronger!' Megumi thought
"Pat" Inumaki patted Megumi's shoulder. "Pickled Mustard Leaf." he said.
"Inumaki-senpai!!! Any more and you'll-"
"Blast Away!"
"Boom!"
"Krashhh!"
Hanami blast to another building, more blood comes out of Inumaki's mouth.
Out of nowhere, Maki appeared behind him, swinging her sword.
"YJ$U^dw6(You can't cut me with such a sword)" Hanami said
"Klink"
Hanami blocked the sword with his hand, breaking the sword.
"Tch!"
Megumi appeared and attacked Hanami, aiming his branches
Hanami jumps back, avoiding it.
'It's eye branches are its weak point!' Megumi thought
"GREZHA$44WY (That one's blade isn't so weak)" Hanami said
"I've got something even better," Maki said, throwing her broken sword.
Megumi is pulling something from his shadow.
"But using this feels pretty disgusting, to be honest," Maki said with some sort of staff in her hand.
Cursed-Tools, weapons Infused with a curse. Same with Jujutsu Sorcerers, Cursed-Tools are categorized from grades 1 to 4 based on power and potency, the higher the grade, the greater the advantage in Jujutsu battles.
-Flashback Somewhere In The Armory-
"Megumi, don't you dare to lose that." Maki warned him.
"I won't," He replied.
"It can fetch at least 500 million yen!" She said
"WH-?!"
-Flashback End-
"Special Grade Cursed-Tool, Playful Cloud"
-Sasori POV-
'Hmm... This is getting interesting'
My CE reserves seem to get bigger the more I get used to using Sukuna CT. I should be focusing on my Domain Expainsion after I copy another CT.
'Maybe I should visit Shoko-senpai and ask her to show me her RCT, since RCT is not a CT, it should be fine to copy' I shake my head.
'No, let's play it save, let's try to copy RCT after I copy another CT'
"That's settled it for now," I said.
Then I run to the place where I feel a lot of people gather.
I finally arrived at the place.
'Itadori and Todo?' I thought
'Looks fun!' I grinned
"Don't interfere," Todo said just before I moved.
"Huh?"
"I said don't interfere, not until he manages to use "Black Flash"!" Todo said, looking at me for a brief moment before looking back at Itadori. "Until you do that, no matter what happens, I'll let you just die," Todo said to Itadori.
"Got it!!" Itadori replied
"Since when did you become "Best Friends" with Itadori?" I asked
"We've been friends since we were young." Todo answered with a proud smile on his face.
"Huh?" Is that something a high schooler should say? Aren't they just met?
"Nevermind that, Is CE that I sensed before belong to you? It has a similar feeling to your attack that you used when we first met," Todo asks.
"Well, I don't know what you're talking about, but I did experiment with my CT a little bit," I replied.
"Did you fight a Special-Grade too?" Todo asked, looking at me.
I just nodded.
"It was a Special-Grade that can manipulate a steel-like thread," I answered. "But it's not that strong," I added.
"Hmm... I admit you're strong, Sasori..." Todo said
I smiled when he said this.
"Boring, but strong," he added.
'This guy...'
I just shake my head and look at Itadori's fight. After a few moments, Todo joins the fight.
'They should be enough'
.....
'Black Flash... I think my record is two, although I don't really use that'
Itadori is growing at an interesting pace.
"Whoosh"
"The Curtain is gone!" I said
I looked up and saw someone floating in the sky.
-Sasori POV END-
"Well then... Where to go first?" Gojo said, looking down.
"GOJO-SENSEI!" Itadori shout
Gojo heard and looked at Itadori.
'Yuji has gotten way stronger! I see, Aoi! That makes sense, he works well with Yuji. They should be okay even if they're up against a Special-Grade' Gojo thought, then looking at Sasori, who was already looking at him, 'Sasori... His CE is getting more and more refined; right now his CE reserves are just a little below me.... Interesting' he thought while smirking.
"In that case, let's start..." Gojo said
Suddenly, he appeared behind Juzo.
"...With you"
"RACK! RACK!" Juzo is running towards him.
"Don't kill him!!" Gakuganji shouts at Gojo.
"Grsh!"
"Grsh!"
"Grsh!"
"Grsh!"
Both Juzo's legs and arms were being twisted.
"Yeah, we need this alive for questioning." Gojo said, "Can't let him die," in a playful tone.
'The guy that was with Utahime is gone, seems that running away was an option from the start' Gojo thought, 'All that's left is the Special-Grade, who's also good at running away, Yuji and the others are a little far away in that case.
"Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue"
"Let's get..."
"Cursed Technique Reversal: Red"
"....A little crazy"
-Back to Hanami-
Hanami is about to run away.
"Don't you dare!" Itadori shouts, trying to chase Hanami.
"Don't!" Sasori said Itadori
"Sasori!" Itadori stops and stares at Sasori confusingly.
"Don't go any further." Todo stood in front of Itadori, stopping him.
"Why are you two stopping me?!" Itadori asked
"Just watch," Sasori said.
"Whoosh!"
"Rmmmbll!"
"Whoosh!"
"Rmmmbll!"
A long and deep hole was created because Gojo technique.
"As expected.... He's non-standard" Todo said while grining.
"Well, He is Gojo Satoru," Sasori said with a bit of pride in his tone.
"I can't even tell if it's exorcised" Todo said.
Itadori just stood shocked at what happened.
