"Gojo sensei"

"He actually sleeps, huh?"

"Gojo sensei!!!"

"Hey, he's up," Itadori said.

"You're the one who called us here; please don't go dozing off," Sasori said.

"Wait a second, that's expensive chair, isn't it?!" Nobara said, ponting at the chair

"What Sasori said is right," Megumi said.

Gojo then pulled up his blindfold and looked at his students while smiling.

"What're you smiling about?" Megumi asked

"Oh, nothing~" He replied.

Nobara and Itadori taking turns to sit on Gojo chair

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

"This way, please," Utahime said. "Gojo has informed you all about the mole, right?" She asked the first year

"Yes" they answered.

"We think there are two or more people feeding intel to the curse users; one has to be highly ranked, even higher than the principals. I can't do anything about that." She explained, "The other is someone feeding information to that higher-up. Today target, they are still only under suspicion... So after apprehending the suspect, we need to conduct an interogation."

"So it's someone from Kyoto side, right?" Nobara bluntly asked, "It has to be since we, from the Tokyo branch, are all here."

Utahime stayed silent for a few seconds before she said

"The mole is..."

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

"The real Mechamaru, Kokichi Muta, is down here. We don't suspect him because he's suspicious, we came to that conclusion by process of elimination." Utahima explained it softly.

All of them walk to some sort of basement.

"Puppet Manipulation... It's range, thanks to his heavenly restriction, reaches the entire nation." She continued, "Using unregistered puppets that act as moles to steal information would be easy for him."

"Really? But it'd draw a lot of attention, if you ask me," Itadori said.

"What if the puppet was as small as a fly or mosquito?" Utahime asked him

"Oh yeah, that's possible."

"Here"

Utahime points at the door.

Itadori covered his fist with Cursed Energy and punched the door.

"Grak!"

"!!"

"Um..." Itadori look at Utahime

"He got us," She replied.

All they see is empty and broken-down room with a single chair.

"So this means..." Megumi said.

"Yeah" Sasori replied.

"It's confirmed, Mechamaru's the mole," Nobara said.

-The Real Mechamaru

"You sure took your time." Mechamaru said, "I was beginning to think you forgot about me."

"We wouldn't dare." Geto said, walking beside him is Mahito, "The consequences of cursed restriction are something you know better than anyone."

"Yeesh! As always... It stinks of mold." Mahito said, "He's our enemy now; let's just kill him already."

"Not yet, Mahito," Geto replied. "We agreed to heal his body with your idle transfiguration in exchange for cooperation and information. We made this binding vow with him, the killing part comes after you fix him up"

"It would've been great to have used him in Shibuya... Oh well..." Mahito said, walking towards Mechamaru.

"'Don't lay a finger on anyone from Kyoto Jujutsu High' You're the ones who broke the binding vow first," Mechamaru stated.

"That was Hanami... Don't pin that on us!" Mahito replied with a cheerful and taunting tone.

"I'm not here to argue over details with a curse. Hurry up and heal me, you scum," Mechamatu replied.

Mahito stared at him for a second and said,

"Don't blame me if I turn you into a caterpillar."

"Mahito" Geto warned him, "A binding vow made with another person is a whole different beast than a binding vow imposed on oneself. One of the differences is that the 'Penalty' is unknown; when breaking a binding vow with oneself, the worst that can happen is losing what was gained. We can't take that risk, if we break the binding vow now, who knows when and what sort of retribution might come our way?"

"Yeah, yeah"

Mahito then placed his hand on Mechamaru's head.

"You better be thankful; you're even lower than scum."

"Idle Transfiguration"

"Fwaaaa"

Mechamaru's body started to heal completely, and he then walked out of his bath tub.

"Boooring, how about showing some enthusiasm?" Mahito said.

"That... Comes after we settle our business," Mechamaru replied.

"True, well, then..."

A cursed energy appeared on Mahito's hand, and multiple cursed puppets appeared behind Mechamaru and started to run towards Mahito.

"Let's begin!"

-On October 18, 2018, Kokichi Muta, also Known As Mechamaru Died Of A Curse Named Mahito-

-October 31, 2018 At 7:00 P.M.-

A curtain with 400-Meter radius was cast centered at the Tokyu department store Tokyo branch

"It's a curtain that only traps civilians. Civilians can only enter, as for windows, that depends on the person, Jujutsu Sorcerers as well as Auxiliary Managers, can come and go as they please," Ijichi explained to them.

"Any reception?" Ino asked him

"Blocked" Ijichi replied, "All communication will have to be done outside the curtain... Or through us, the managers."

Nanami Team:

-Kento Nanami (Grade-1)

-Takuma Ino (Grade-2, currently being assessed for promotion)

-Megumi Fushiguro (Grade-2, currently being assessed for promotion)

-Hanamiya Sasori (Grade-2, currently being assessed for promotion)

"Sounds like quite the pain," Nanami said.

"Fushiguro! Hanamiya!" Ino called them

"Curtains.... The conditions that can be used to increase or decrease the barrier's effectiveness are usually only things related to cursed energy, so basically humans, cursed spirits, and cursed objects. Therefore, reception being blocked is a secondary effect of the curtain, but the curtain can't actually block or allow reception," Ino excitedly explained it to his juniors.

"Um, yes. I know"

"Me too..."

Both of them replied awkwardly.

"Ino, they're excellent students. Stop trying to show off just because you're older," Nanami said, turning his head towards Ijichi. "And..."

"What do you mean by that, Nanami?!"

"Where is Gojo?" Nanami ignores Ino.

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

"Who are you?" Gojo asked

Currently, Gojo is shocked to see his friend, who is supposed to be dead.

"Suguru Geto, of course." He answered, "Did you forget? How sad"

"Your body... and your cursed energy..."

"My Six Eyes tell me you're Suguru Geto... But my soul knows otherwise! Hurry up and answer!! Who the hell are you?!" Gojo shout

Geto started to pull a string on his forehead.

"Yeeesh!

"How'd you know?" Pseudo-Geto said it with a creepy, weird smile.

The string that held half of his head was pulled open, making his brain, which has a mouth, visible to Gojo.

"Grk" Gojo was stunned to see this.

"It's a CT that allows me to hop between bodies by switching brains. Of course, it let me use the innate techniques within the body as well." Pseudo-Geto said, "I coveted his curse manipulation and these exact circumstances." You... don't have Shoko Ieiri's personality to get rid of Suguru Geto's body, do you?"

Pseudo-Geto put his half held back to his head and stitched back his head.

"You're only considerate during such awkward moments. Thanks to that, I was able to obtain this body without much trouble." Pseudo-Geto said, "But don't worry, the seal will be over soon enough. In a hundred... No, maybe a thousand years. You know, you're just too strong. You're in the way of my plans."

"Heh!" Gojo sneered

"You don't remember? Before that body was killed by me. Remember who beat it up?" Gojo asked

"Yuta Okkotsu, huh? I don't really get what everyone sees in him, his ability to unconditionally copy cursed techniques and his boundless cursed energy. Both are the result of him having to detain his loved one's soul. Sorry to say, but Yuta Okkotsu can't become the next Gojo Satoru." Pseudo-Geto replied, "Good night, Gojo Satoru. Let us meet again in the new world."

Pseudo-Geto proceeds to seal Gojo inside the Prison Realm

"Looks like you're all awake." Pseudo-Geto said to the rest of the cursed spirits, "Now, about what happens next--"

But before he finishes, the cube starts to rattle.

"?"

"What's wrong?" Jogo asked Pseudo-Geto

"Vwonk" suddenly the cube became so heavy that Pseudo-Geto had to drop it.

"GRRAK" The cube fell and shatter the floor.

"What?!"

"Tch! This guy!!" Pseudo-Geto realizes that this is Gojo's doing.

Inside, we see Gojo with his blindfold being surrounded by skeletons.

"Looks like time doesn't pass here." Gojo said while playing with his blindfold: "Crap, I messed up. This could be trouble... Whatever, it'll be fine."

Gojo started to think of his students.

"I have faith in everyone."
