time skip?

Previously,

[Obviously not host. It's just that.... The timeline was altered by the goddess of this universe for no apparent reason. No matter how much this system calculated it wasn't able to find a rational reason behind this change. Other then boredom.]

''Now we wait''

''Speaking about it how'd you know that Naobito had animosity towards me? Were you able to read his mind?''

[No host, the answer is pretty simple the murderous intent as well as cursed energy that Naobito Zenin directed at you led to the system making the guess that he was after your life. Although the chances of this was only 85%]

"Only 85? You really don't like gambling ay ? Explain to me the inner workings of the Zen'in household. If I want to survive and defeat Naobito I need to come up with a good strategy. ''

[Processing request]

[The history of the Zenin Clan embodies the problematic values that arose from the noble status granted to them as a major clan. The Zenin clan values powerful cursed techniques above all else and rejects their own family members if they don't deem their power acceptable.

The Zen'in family has two major combat units that are the Trump card of the family. The hei and the kukuru unit.

The Hei ( 炳 へイ , Hei?) is a unit composed of members of the clan ranked semi-grade 1 and above. They are the strongest group of jujutsu sorcerers within the Zenin Clan.

Meanwhile,The Kukuru Unit are Zenin men who do not possess innate techniques. They are a subdivision of the Hei who undergo demanding martial arts training. The Hei are composed the strongest sorcerers in the Zenin clan, all holding a ranking of semi-grade 1 or higher.

Lastly, the Akashi were the members of the Zenin clan who possessed cursed techniques but weren't strong enough to become members of the Hei, The group is the polar opposite of the Kukuru Unit, being comprised of fairly weak sorcerers with cursed techniques but lacking the power to utilise them to their fullest.

Also the zen'in family has a cursed warehouse that contains many powerful ancient cursed weapons. The host is suggested to find a way to get inside the warehouse as that place might be the solution to solving the host's heavenly restriction.]

''Hoh the Hei unit sounds interesting. Who holds the most influence in the Hei unit ?"

[Although debatable, the top three would definitely be Ogi Zenin, Jinichi Zenin and Chojuro Zenin]

''Hmmm is there any way to pit the members of the Hei against Naobito Zenin?''

[The answer is pretty simple host, Ogi zenin has always wanted to be the patriarch of the Zenin family, yet because his strength was a bit less compared to Naobito, he was swept aside. As long as you promise him a puppet position as the Zenin family patriarch you'll be able to even earn his loyalty by showing your strength.]

''Good good good good. What about Jinichi and Chojuro?''

[ They have pretty much mixed views about this subject. As long as Ogi Zenin wins against naobito in a duel for the position of patriarch fair and square, they'll go along with it.]

''How is my relationship with the members of the Hei unit ? Especially Ogi Zenin.''

[Since your father, Tadama Zenin, is a member of the Hei unit he has high status in the household. His relationship with Ogi Zenin is also top notch as they both share flame innate cursed techniques. You could call them comrades. Yet the relationship between them is a bit rusted because Tadama took the side of Naobito instead of him.]

''Everything is going according to plan. I just need to get Ogi Zenin's loyalty and make him powerful enough to win against Naobito, then my life's set.''

[Good idea host.]

15 days later

Tadama's household

Inside the house you could see a baby with black hair dressed in a female dress with a bottle full of milk in his hand while two people were teaching him how to speak the alphabets.

"My precious Toji if you have to grow up big and strong you gave to learn the alphabets first! A is for Apple, b is for ball, c is for co-

Just as the women Izuki was about to continue singing the baby gripped the paper she was making him stare at.

"Enough"

"..." Izuki was left speechless

"..." tadama looked at his son shocked.

"Toji can you say the word dad fir-

" Oh my God my dear child Toji is a genius! Learning the alphabets at the age of just 16 days! Just wait until I rub this in their faces *sniff* *sniff* uwaaaaaaa mom is very proud of you Toooooji Tooooojjiiiii" Izuki was swinging the child around while muttering random words. Seemingly lost in a world of her own.

'Sigh just what have I gotten myself into?'

Toji felt that all of this was useless but when he saw his mother's happy face his stoic facade broke down . ' fine'

"Momma"

"UWAAAAAAAA TOJI CALLED ME MOM FIRST UWAAAAAAAAAA" just after Toji said those words Izuki started crying while rolling across the carpet back and forth.

'Phew. Finally she's gone. Now I can focus on trying to control chaotic energy' just as he thought so he kept his body in the meditation position.

'Focus Toji focus '

Just as he thought so a thin torrent of seemingly blackish energy started to slowly form around toji . Yet if a normal person or a sorcerer looked at toji right now all they would think was that the baby was doing yoga at an early age.

'Now all I have to do is channel the energy into my veins and absorb it into my dantian'

Just as he said so the black energy slowly started to get closer to Toji's body before it seemingly went inside before suddenly exploding away from toji's body at blazing speeds.

'ACKKKM *COUGH*COUGH* just as I thought. The result is the same.'

[Host no matter how you try, your body won't be able to accept chaotic energy. Cursed energy is a subtype of chaotic energy. If even that isn't allowed by the heavenly restriction how can chaotic energy be allowed inside?]

[The most you can do now host is to coat your body's skin with chaotic energy to enhance your physical strength. Or else manipulate the chaotic energy while it's outside the body.]

'Haaaah fine but I'm not giving up yet.'

Time skip time!

5 years later,

By now using his cute face Toji had been successful in seeing the cursed techniques of nearly everyone in the household. You may ask how he was able to see the techniques? Well he coated the surroundings with a thick coat of chaotic energy and coated his eyes with chaotic energy allowing him to 'see' the various cursed techniques to some degree. Creation,projection,elemental manipulation,cursed fists, the ten shadows technique ( although he has only heard about this one) he could see now why the Zenin family was considered the strongest cursed sorcerer family.

Over the years some interesting developments had occurred.

Both Naobito and Ogi had children. Naobito's child was called Naoya Zenin and Ogi had twins, Maki and Mai zen'in. Although there was one problem Maki and Mai couldn't see cursed spirits. As in they had heavenly restrictions. This lowered Ogi's position in the Zenin household once more.

Another important development. Izuki zenin is dead. After this Tadama went into a spiralling depression, as the love of his life died in front of him. The doctors ruled it as a heart attack. Something unlikely for a cursed sorcerer.

At this time, Toji slowly used this time to get closer to Ogi and his family using the excuse that he viewed Mai and Maki as his younger sisters.

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

TOJI POV:

'Sigh although I hate to admit it even I'm hit hard by mom's death. If only I saw through those painkillers soon enough. Naobito zenin. I'll make sure you die a dog's death.'

'I've been stuck in a corner in terms of development. Looks like the only place where I can find inspiration now is the disciplinary pit of the household'

"Brother are you okay?" Just as toji was going to continue thinking about different ways to kill naobito a certain green haired kid came to bother him.

"Oh its just you Maki, don't worry your brother's fine" he smiled weakly before going back to his stoic self.

Although Toji was barely 6 years old right now because of his HR he could even be thought of as being 10 years old. Hence he easily dwarfed Maki.

After Toji patted Maki's head she blushed and hurriedly turned her head away

'Onii-chan isn't showing it but he's thinking of women once again' As she thought of this her eyes turned dead once again.

Ever since she and her older sister were born they were looked down upon because of their heavenly restriction. In the zenin family having no cursed energy was a sentence worse then death, even though they were the daughters of Ogi Zenin a member of the Hei unit they were treated like servants and often beat up by other children who just viewed them as punching bags.

'But it all changed when he arrived' while they were getting beat up by Naoya, the patriarch's son, and his lackey's for merely looking them in the eye, Toji arrived like a prince in shining armour although he was merely 6 years old he towered over Naoya and the others.

Even when the whole household EVEN MY PARENTS were against me and my sister, yet Toji was always there by my side. Even if he couldn't help them directly at least he helped them to deal with the loneliness and isolation.

She would never forget when toji looked them in the eyes and said "are you okay?" With a gentle smile. Even though they were barely 5 years old they felt their hearts skip a beat. It was at this moment that they became rabid fans of toji zenin. Wherever he would go they would follow him ad if they were stuck together by superglue. And the worst part is.. . Toji didn't even despise them! He treated them as equals! H-he even gave them food whenever they were punished for not acting like servants..... how could she not like him?

'Onii-chan no one will ever take you away from me' if toji saw maki's face right now he would laugh nervously as sweat poured down his neck because it looked like his plan to get closer to ogi zenin had been a bit too successful.

Yikes! Sorry if the last part of this chapter was cringey.
