Two weeks quickly pass. Inside a dense forest, during the darkness of night. A bright full moon illuminated Mute who was standing in the middle of a clearing. Mute was staring at the moon with a grin on his face.
Mute crosses his middle finger with his index finger as he starts to chant out an incantation.
" Emerge from the darkness, blacker than darkness. Purify that which is impure "
As soon as Mute finishes the incantation, a veil starts to spew down from the sky, covering the full moon. Inside the veil Mute is surrounded by pure darkness. Mute can't even see a few inches in front of him.
Mute stares into the darkness until a few bright lights start to glow. Several fireflies curse spirits fly out of the grass. Mute is surrounded by glowing fireflies as he stares at them beautifully glowing in unison. Mute nods his head satisfied with the barrier he created. Mute snaps his finger as the veil fades and the bright full moon once again illuminates Mute's body.
Mute stands motionless as the wind ruffles the trees next to him before he looks to his left and starts to walk back to the log cabin...
As Mute began to master creating barriers. Five hours prior, at the Zenin Clan's residence. A meeting was being held between the clan and Gojo. Gojo called for the meeting, his objective was clear, he wanted to question the Zenin Clan about Gen Zenin to make sure, they weren't working with him.
Gojo was sitting in a room on a wooden chair before he glanced to his left and up staring at a balcony. The balcony was full of the new youth of the Zenin Clan. Gojo scoffs seeing the children faint from his energy until he places his elbows on the table and looks forward at the high-ranking Zenin Clan members. However, due to an abrupt meeting, Naobito couldn't make the meeting.
Gojo stared at the members observing their reactions, until he sighed and spoke.
" I've called for this meeting to discuss the infamous assassin Mute. "
Gojo stopped his speech trying to see any kind of odd reaction, however, everyone's face was blank. Gojo stared at the members' poker faces until he spoke again.
" After thinking for a while, I have figured something out or at least I believe I have. So, let me ask all of you a question. Is Mute, Gen Zenin? "
The members of the Zenin Clan stared at Gojo with confused looks. Before glancing around at each other, they clearly thought that Gojo had lost his mind. They kept looking at each other until a man with a long black ponytail spoke.
" Have you come to mock the death of one of our past youth? Or is this a genuine question? "
Said Ogi Zenin, the reaction of the Zenin Clan hadn't been what Gojo expected. Gojo thought if he suddenly brought up Gen Zenin this would shock the Zenin Clan. Instead, several confused faces stared at Gojo. Gojo pondered to himself before responding to Ogi's question.
"Yes, it's a genuine question, but clearly I might have been mistaken."
What Gojo didn't know was that the only person who knew that Gen Zenin was still alive was Naobito, and with Naobito being absent from the meeting, Gojo basically held this meeting for no reason. Gojo stared at the Zenin Clan until he let out a loud sigh.
Clearly, thoughts of doubt about Mute being Gen Zenin clouded his mind...
Back to the present, an attack was being held on a small town outside of Kyoto, a barrier was created blocking out the full moon, the small town was next to a large mountain. The sound of rushing footsteps could be heard. A plethora of sorcerers could be seen dashing towards the barriers. The majority of them were from Jujutsu High.
Panda and Inumkai could be seen dashing towards the barrier with a group of more mature sorcerers following behind them. They were running down a barren road. Panda looked over at Inumaki before talking.
" When we enter the barrier, climb up the tallest building, and umm, since Nanami already went into the barrier text him how many curses are running rampant. "
Inumaki nodded his head before talking.
" Salmon."
Inumaki and Panda dash into the barrier, expecting to hear the sounds of carnage and death, but abruptly Inumaki and Panda come to a sliding stop as they stare in front of them confused. What Inumaki and Panda saw was a normal town.
The town was spotless, quiet, and peaceful. A crowd of people could be seen walking through the town. Inumaki and Panda look around until Inumaki pulls out his phone and texts Nanami saying, " There are no curse spirits? "...
Three minutes prior to Inumaki and Panda entering the barrier, Geto could be seen standing on a cliff by himself with his arms crossed. Geto was watching the sorcerers dash into the barrier. This wasn't an attack instead it was more of a feint. Geto created the barrier over the town to see how fast the response of the Jujutsu High sorcerers was going to respond to him creating a barrier.
The reason Geto wanted to test the response of the sorcerers was simple. Prior to him setting up the barrier, he heard from Mechamaru saying how Utahime was going to get involved by sending Jujutsu High sorcerers to save the towns. Geto watched as Panda and Inumaki went through the barrier before he smirked and spoke.
" It took you only ten minutes to respond to me setting up the barrier. Not bad. But in those ten minutes, we'll still be able to destroy the town. Of course, I need to remember this is the first mission those Jujutsu high sorcerers have done against us, so they'll probably get faster over time. "
Geto snapped his fingers as the barrier started to fade away. Geto began to walk away from the town, his footsteps echoing out as he yawned until as soon as he walked past a tree, a noise was made.
RING
Geto's eyes widened before he leaned back narrowly dodging a clothed blade, Geto dashed back as a smirk covered his face, Geto came to a sliding stop staring at Nanami tightly holding onto his blade. Nanami let out a loud grunt before Geto spoke.
" You really need to put your phone on silent Nanami. I wouldn't have noticed you if your phone didn't ring. "
The notification Nanami got was from Inumaki telling him there were no curses. Nanami glanced at his phone, reading the message, before he slid his phone back into his pants. Nanami started to circle around Geto. Nanami arrived at the barrier sooner than Inumaki and Panda. He entered the barrier and quickly realized that there were no curses. He immediately knew what Geto's plan was. And ran to the best advantage point which was the mountain.
Nanami circled around Geto while shuffling his blade in his palm, anxiously waiting for Geto's first move. Geto scoffed before talking with a grin on his face.
" You figured out my plan faster than the others. But do you really think you can beat me, Nanami? "...
