Time skip; One month later

Tokyo....

Within a small drinking bar, a handsome black haired man sat at a table in a blue sweatshirt and pants clearly in deep thought.

Sighing to himself, Toji took a shot of the glass of alcohol before him, and placed his head onto the table. Trying his very best to shun the negative thoughts within his mind, he tried alcohol, however nothing seemed to be working.

After his encounter with Kenshin, he couldn't help but feel premonitions of an impending doom that was directed towards him. No, to be specific, he didn't know whether it was directed towards him or his family, but one thing was for sure, the scarred man was not going to let him go easily after his betrayal.

At the very least, if that bastard wanted revenge, he had no issue if he would even take his life, but the life of his family was important to him. He might look cold, unconcerned and detached, but he knew what love was and he had it for only a few and that few was his wife, son and daughter.

Sighing once more, Toji poured himself a drink and as he indulged himself in his problems and alcohol, a blue haired youth dressed in a simple black round neck and grey sweatpants walked into the bar uncaring and sat before him expressionlessly.

"You're quite early...."

Looking at the beat down Toji before him, Kenshin chuckled and took a shot of the alcohol with another glass.

"Aren't you a little too young to be drinking?" Looking at the handsome youth before him who was drinking like an adult, Toji snarled in annoyance.

"You're not the only one with problems..."

Kenshin responded and took another shot.

This was not his first time of meeting with Toji after their last battle. Although they were still not friends yet, at the very least, they weren't as cold to each other as before.

"I've managed to confirm a lot over the past few weeks..."

Kenshin said with a serious look.

"About 75% of the sorcerers in Jujutsu High are under mind control...from students, to tutors, even the janitors." Kenshin spoke and then paused, allowing the gravity of the situation to sink in for a minute.

"The good news is, those on our side will be enough to hold the 75 percent in case of a full blown war between us..."

He nodded and spoke with a smile, as Toji merely looked at him.

"What about your cousin, that Gojo brat?...."

Toji asked while scratching his hair in discomfort.

"He's on our side..along with Principal Ayumu and some others..." Kenshin responded with a small smile.

"If he's on our side, then we might have a chance of winning.." Toji weighed the options. Having the Gojo brat on their side wasn't a bad thing at all. His presence alone was enough to even out their chances. At the very least it was better than having him as an enemy.

"Anyway, I can tell. Your reason for wanting to kill Kenzo...it isn't because he tried to get you assassinated..." After a while of silence, Toji looked Kenshin in the eye, not in the least afraid and uttered.

"Living my life the way I did from growing up, being assassinated is the least of my worries. That man...it was because of him that my father was exiled from Jujutsu.

Because of him, my father was branded a fugitive and traitor. After doing all that, he even tried mind raping me in order to believe his lies...I do this to clear my father's name and regain his honor..."

Kenshin cleated his throat and spoke while Toji looked at him.

"Uhh, I remember now, no wonder you look eeringly familiar..what was his name again?? Hayato? Yes him...I was sent to assassinate him one time. He was my first ever mission failure, and you're the second, like father like son..."

Somehow, Toji's words didn't infuriate Kenshin in the slightest. It only made him feel a bit of pride.

.

Jujutsu High...

Standing atop a balcony, Kenzo watched the sunset, allowing his body to be bathed in the warm glow of the sun.

After a few minutes, he slowly touched his forehead, unstitched one of the threads that held his head in place and gently pulled on it.

The next moment, his head instantly came undone, a shocking sight, revealing the slightly pink grotesque brainy figure with teeth hidden within.

Without even minding the disgusting fluids he gently caressed his brain, as a wave of calmness hit his body, relaxing his taut muscles.

It was time to begin phase 2 of his new plans. For one, he knew that now Kenshin knew of what he had done to his father, they had become irreconcilable enemies. And now that he had broken free of his mind manipulation, he couldn't use it a second time on him.

A limitation on his cursed technique that hindered his plans. Once his hold on a persons mind was broken, he wouldn't be able to control that person ever again.

Sighing to himself, he stitched his head back and adjusted his collar.

Against Kenshin's abnormal prowess, he knew he wouldn't stand a chance. He needed an army, powerful allies to combat the heir of the Hayato clan.

'It's a pity I can't allow Sukuna's rebirth anytime soon...he would've been thrilled to battle another Hayato clan heir with the Rinnegan...'

Sighing, he took a seat in the chair in his office and relaxed.

'For now, an all out war against him wouldn't be ideal for my plans, however if I can slowly take out all of his allies, one after the other, just like I did to his wretched father and family...I should be able to isolate him...Divide and Conquer..'

Letting out an evil laugh, he twirled on his seat and then he stopped again, beginning to contemplate how to take out Kenshin's strongest allies, including, Gojo Satoru, Toji Zen'in, Geto Suguru and that stupid old man, Ayumu.

After a while he took out a cardboard and a marker, wrote their names and began tracing and matching, like a Supreme God deciding the fate of a bunch of disgusting humans while humming a happy tune.

"Hehehe this is the perfect match!..."

After a while of humming and thinking he immediately flung the marker away and began rejoicing like a madman.

And then, he threw the cardboard away and walked away with a large smile, ready to implement his plans.

As the cardboard fluttered onto the floor gracefully, a couple of letters that had been circled could be seen matched up;

T—S and G—A.

To another it would make no sense, however to the evil mastermind, this bunch of letters and symbols contained all that he needed and how he was going to proceed from now on.

.

After meeting with Toji, Kenshin returned to the school, at his favorite location and took a seat.

Breathing in the cool breeze he reassured himself. Everything was going to be alright. He was going to kill Kenzo. Catch the ones responsible for his family's murder and then move on..

He needed strength and he was going to grow stronger. The Rinnegan and the Six Paths of Distinguished Heavenly Gods Technique was going to allow him to reach the pinnacle of strength and he was going to do exactly that. A position befitting an heir of the Hayato clan.

"There you are!! I've been searching for you all day!! Where the hell have you been!"

Suddenly, his chain of thoughts were suddenly interrupted, as Ieiri came and sat by his side with an annoyed expression.

"What have you been searching for me?" Kenshin asked with a sideways glance at her pretty face.

"Can you believe that old man Yaga has assigned both of us to mission in Asakusa?! Not only that, the cursed spirit to be exorcised is rumored to be first grade or higher!!!"

Roaring out in annoyance Ieiri vented out her emotions while Kenshin looked at her. It wasn't a big deal to him, after all within these few weeks, the number of first grades he had exorcised was uncountable.

"The worse part is, we're leaving tomorrow!" At this point she felt like strangling that old man to death. Seeing her distraught expression, Kenshin couldn't help but laugh a bit.

"You think this is funny?! Huh!" Glaring at him with blazing fury, Kenshin instantly surrendered and took off, unwilling to become a punching bag.

"Come back here you idiot!!" Chasing after him she roared out in annoyance, as Kenshin escaped with all of his might.
