Planning

3rd person pov

In a dimly lit room inside the Jujutsu High Headquarters, Gojo Satoru was sitting on a stool next to a tall blonde woman. There was a serious atmosphere lingering in the air.

"Are you sure that it's him?" asked the woman

"Yes. His body even had remnant traces of his cursed energy." replied Gojo

"How'd you recongize his cursed energy?"

"I saw him the day he exterminated the Zen'in Clan. I was supposed to be visiting them for some official reason but he interrupted it. I even saw the way he killed Naobito. Looking back, even though he was still a child, he fought like he was a veteran."

"It's still weird though. He was inactive for the past years, and now he reappears at the right moment to steal Suguru's innate technique. Seems kinda fishy if you ask me." said the woman

"..." 

After seeing that Gojo didn't plan on furthering the topic, the blonde woman said:

"Oh and by the way, I tried visiting the son of Toji Fushiguro that you mentioned. He currently missing. No one has seen him since the day Suguru died."

"..."

"So he was that prepared, huh. Ryoma Kurogane, it really seems like you were aware of everything." thought Gojo

"You shouldn't be hard on yourself. It wasn't your fault that Suguru died."

"You don't have to say such words, Yuki. I know that. Doesn't mean that I'm not angry or sad." replied Gojo

"Haha, you're right. Sorry." said Yuki.

After another minute of silence, Yuki stood up.

"Make sure to not lose yourself, Satoru. I'll be leaving then."

"Yeah." replied Gojo as she left.

He sat there for a while, thinking about Geto, Megumi and Ryoma.

"I'll find you, Ryoma Kurogane. I'll make you regret doing the things you did."

Kenjaku pov

Well, there goes my plan of starting the Culling Games.

From the reports of my men inside Jujutsu High and the higher-ups, I learned of the fact that the Kurogane brat straight up killed Suguru Geto, the man who possessed Cursed Spirit Manipulation, a cursed technique that was crutial for the activation of the Culling Games.

Not all hope is lost though. Apparently the brat's innate technique can help with stealing other sorcerer's innate techniques. The Six Eyes user only recently clarified this information.

People are saying that Ryoma Kurogane stole Cursed Spirit Manipulation. This means that I need to find him and take over his body in order to start the Culling Games. Heh, if I had known about that technique of his, the first thing I would have done is to pay that brat a visit.

But the one thing that makes me feel uneasy are the capabilities of the brat. He exterminated THE Zen'in Clan when he was nine. How powerful would he be after seven years? I will need to create a plan to defeat him. There were many unknown factors that played a huge role in this situation. Exploring them and his capabilities is what I need to do first in order to create a plan.

I might even pressure Uraume into helping me. If I tell them about how this can affect the revival of Sukuna, they will most likely try to help me with the retrieval of Ryoma Kurogane's body.

Ryoma pov

It felt releaving when I executed the plan I have been thinking about for the past seven years. Just like Mike Tyson had said in the past, the fights inside the ring are a vacation from the training.

Everything went well. I obtained both Cursed Spirit Manipulation and the Ten Shadows. Well, I haven't obtained the Ten Shadows yet since Megumi hasn't manifested it yet, but if everything goes right I will extract it once it is fully manifested. 

During these past seven years, I haven't been slacking off. Although I didn't outright exterminate clans like I did with the Zen'in, I still frequently captured sorcerers secretly and used my technique to become stronger. I would say that without Cursed Spirit Manipulation I would barely be considered a Special Grade just because of my physical strength and immeasurable cursed energy reserves. But with Cursed Spirit Manipulation, I can confidently call myself a Special Grade curse user.

It truly is funny how the Jujutsu Society now calls me "the worst of all curse users". That was the sobriquet of Suguru Geto in the original timeline of this world. And Suguru Geto got his technique stolen and killed by me.

During the early stages of my plan, I thought about stealing Limitless from Gojo while he was still a child or when he would be unconscious after the first encounter with Toji Fushiguro. After pondering on this for about 5 minutes, I quickly realized that this would be a very stupid decision. In the current age, curses far outweigh sorcerers in terms of strength. There are many different special grade curse spirits and only two special grade sorcerers, three including me (Let's face it, even though he isn't a Special Grade right now, Gojo Satoru is stronger than Yuki Tsukumo, so that makes him a Special Grade in my eyes). If it were not for Satoru Gojo, it is likely curses would completely overtake humanity in the future, at least in Japan. I didn't really want that to happen, so of course I didn't touch him and his technique.

Gojo Satoru is also the one and only defence against the possible revival of Sukuna. Although I frequently thought about visiting the "cage" that was made for him, Itadori Yuji, I still didn't risk it. Throwing away my secrecy that I had maintained for seven years just for a small chance to kill a child was not worth it. My current strength didn't match Kenjaku. I could confidently best him only when I at least obtained the Ten Shadows/Mahoraga and a Domain Expansion. 

Speaking of Domain Expansions, I have made great progress in that department. I already mastered Simple Domain and Falling Blossom Emotion to their fullest so I could defend myself from another sorcerer's domain, but I still need one if I plan on achieving greater strength. I am just a few steps away from achieving my own Domain Expansion.

Apart from that, I fully mastered RCT, explored even more hand-to-hand combat techniques. My hand-to-hand combat skills are truly heavenly. With the immense physical strength I received from my innate technique, I can utilize it perfectly.

I also received Playful Cloud from the inventory cursed spirit of Toji Fushiguro, which can even further enhance my physical combat capabilities.

Currently, the only thing that worries me is Kenjaku. Since he needs Cursed Spirit Manipulation in order to start the Culling Game, I would automatically become his target. That very reason motivates me to lay low and gather my strength without disturbing other sorcerers.

I would exorcise curses and make them my own, achieve a Domain Expansion and obtain the Ten Shadows. All that without getting caught by Kenjaku and Gojo Satoru/Jujutsu Society. That was my current plan of doing things.
