"Yeeesh... I knew we should've left him alone." Momo said, 'I've got to keep my eyes open up here so we can get ahead hunting down the curses' She thought

"Megumi" Sasori said.

"Take her down," Megumi ordered his Shikigami.

Out of nowhere, Nue appeared behind Momo.

"Thwak" Making Momo fall from the sky

Noritoshi, seeing this, ordered Mai and Mechamaru to cover Momo.

Both Mai and Mechamaru started to run to where Momo fell, but not long after that, Maki appeared and attacked Miwa.

While Sasori and Megumi attacked Kamo.

"Senpai... Are you guys trying to kill Itadori?" Sasori asked

-Flashback Team Tokyo-

-Fushiguro Team-

"Something's not right," Megumi said.

-Panda Team-

"Something's weird," Panda said. "The Kyoto guys are moving as a unit, where we split off with Yuji. Actually, aren't all of them over there?"

-Fushiguro Team-

"Do you think the Grade-2 curse is that way?' Maki asked

"No, unless it's incredibly clever, my Divine Dogs would detect it," Megumi said.

"Ruff!"

"Are they... Planning to kill Itadori?" Megumi asked

-Panda Team-

"What?! That doesn't make sense!" Nobara denied what Panda had just told her.

-Fushiguro Team-

"...It's possible," Sasori said, making his two teammates look at him.

-Panda Team-

"Kelp" Inumaki said.

"hmm... I didn't sense anything malicious from them earlier, but that was before they knew Itadori was alive. I wouldn't put it past Principal Gakuganji to give that order," Panda said.

"Are the Kyoto school students the type of lowlifes who would kill on command?" Nobara is getting annoyed.

"They don't see it that way, you first-years know Itadori personally because you've spent time together. We also know he's a good guy since we got a chance to meet him, he's optimistic, which is rare for a sorcerer, but for those who've never had a chance to meet him... Sukuna's Vessel is just an object of fear." Panda said, "To them, killing him is no different from exorcising a curse, Sorcerers tend to lose touch with things like that."

-Fushiguro Team-

"We're going back, Megumi, Sasori." Maki said, changing directions to where Itadori is.

"I'm sorry..." Sasori said to Maki.

"Why're you apologizing? There ain't going to be any winning or losing if a friend dies at this event," Maki said.

-Panda Team-

"Me and Nobara will go and check Itadori, Toge, you stay and keep hunting curses," Panda said.

"Fish flakes(Deny)" Inumaki shakes his head.

"I know you're worried about Yuji. But if my theory is correct, then what Kyoto's trying to do here is to assassinate Yuji in the confusion during this match, if the match ends, then the assassination fails. Let's do it for Maki too, we won't let them kill Yuji, and we'll win the team battle!" Panda explains it to both of them.

"Salmon(Agree)" Inumaki nods.

"Of course!" Nobara is trying to call Megumi. "Answer the phone. Fushiguro! Why don't we have wifi, bluetooth, and earpieces anyway?!"

"No thanks! They'd distract me, besides getting calls startle me!" Panda said, waving at Inumaki, that was already moving to find cursed spirit to exorcised

"Then turn it off during battle!" Nobara yelled

-Flashback END-

"What if I told you... That you're right?" Noritoshi asked

"You guys failed so far, huh? There's no way Itadori would get taken out so quickly," Sasori replied.

"We have no reason to kill him" Noritoshi taking his bow.

"There is... For the three Jujutsu Sorcerers Families!" Megumi replied using his Tonfa.

Both Megumi and Sasori keep pushing Noritoshi, they keep this up until they end up inside a building.

Noritoshi kept putting distance between them by shooting more arrows, three arrows flew towards Megumi, but before they even got close to him, the arrows were cut in half.

Sasori, who used to not hold back his "Dismantle" realized that the one in front of him is not Gojo, so he awkwardly pulled his punches.

"I have a feeling that both of you are holding yourself back, I appreciate it if you get serious," Noritoshi said.

'My Divine Dog is busy doing something else right now' Megumi thought

"You're down to your last arrow too, right? I'm not gonna help you if you collapse from anemia." Sasori said, '"Blood Manipulaton" is the ability to control whatever touches his blood. Fitting from one of the big Three Families who value bloodlines so much' Sasori thought

"Not to worry, These are prepared in advance." Noritoshi draws his bow, '"Ten Shadows Technique" A Cursed Technique passed down in the Zen'in family. Using shadow as an intermediary, This ability can summon ten different Shikigami. If only Mai and Maki had inherited this ability as well...' Noritoshi thought.

All of a sudden, he aimed his arrow at the ceiling, making the debris fall between them.

Noritoshi then leaped towards Megumi and kicked him, breaking Megumi Tonfa.

'Was he always this strong?!" Megumi thought

"Nice reflexes; don't lose focus now." A blood start appeared around Noritoshi's Right eye.

Noritoshi started to change his target from Megumi to Sasori.

Noritoshi throws a left punch, but Sasori manages to dodge, and he point his finger at Noritoshi's right leg. 'Control it!Control it!Control it!' was all what Sasori thinking.

A single black line appeared on Noritoshi leg.

"Fwish~" Giving Noritoshi's leg a shallow cut

"Agh"

'What was that?!' Noritoshi thought

"Come to think of I still haven't found out about your CT?" Noritoshi asked Sasori

"Well, I'm sure if we keep fighting, you will figure it out." Sasori answered, "It's not that complicated."

Noritoshi takes his stance.

'I can manipulate blood beyond its form or motion. Body temperature, Pulse rate, the number of red blood cells, blood composition—it's all under my control' Noritoshi thought

"Flowing Red Scale"

"Doping?!" Megumi exclaimed

"Very good, although I don't appreciate the negative connotation." Noritoshi replied, not dropping his guard.

-The Intruder-

"Well then, shall we get to work?" Mahito said

"I think I'll make a hanger rack, Gojo Satoru is 190cm tall, right?" Juzo asked

"He would make a great hanger rack," Mahito replied.

"Hmm" ???
