Chapter 17 - Cursed Child

(A/n: I changed the timeline a little, so Yuta joined earlier than usual.)

=================================

-Location: Jujutsu Tech-

-Date: August 18th, 2017-

-POV: Narrator-

It was the next day and after some time, Naoto used RCT to regrow his arm. The binding vow that was placed, had finally lifted. So he could use cursed energy and positive energy again.

His first thought was to train, and find a way to use that transformation. He didn't want to enact a binding vow each time he wanted to use it.

So experimenting was the best possible way for him to fine a better way to use the positive energy transformation.

After some time, Naoto started to freshen up and get ready for today. He had some classes and a few missions that he had to complete, so getting them out of the way as soon as possible was something he liked to do.

After he finished getting ready he went to the classroom where he seen Panda, Maki, and Toge, already waiting.

"You're late." Said Maki as she was holding the new sword that Naoto gave her.

"I had one of the best sleep of my life. It was like I was lying on a cloud." Said Naoto as he went to his seat and sat down.

"Sup Toge, you good?" Asked Naoto as he and Toge fist bump.

"Konbu." Said Toge as he greeted Naoto.

Naoto nodded and began to look around the room. He noticed two students missing. Asami and Yuta, who was supposed to return today.

"Where is Asami-Chan?" Asked Naoto.

"She and Kusakabe went on a mission this morning. They won't be back until tomorrow." Said Panda.

Naoto sigh and proceed to play on his phone. He started to read some Manga so he open his Manga App, and went to his library.

He started to read Dr. Stone as this was one of his favorite from his previous life. He only watched the anime, but since this manga just released for him, the anime hasn't even been a thought yet.

(A/n: Dr. Stone Released March of 2017, so he's still in the beginning kind of.)

But that's not the only series he had in his library. Series like, Berserk, Vinland Saga, and Vagabond were there. And some Shonen manga like, Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece, were there.

He had a lot of his favorites from his previous life in his library. Naruto had just finished the year before and Bleach also finished this year too.

After some time, the classroom door slide open, and Gojo walked inside with a student. He had black hair, with a depressed expression.

Instead of the usual navy blue jujutsu tech uniform. He had one a white sweater with black pants, while carrying a sword bag on his back.

This was the cursed child, Yuta Okkotsu. He was made a special grade sorcerer based off the curse he placed onto himself.

The Queen of curses, Orimoto Rika. She was Yuta's childhood friend and was his "love interest". That was until she got hit by a truck.

Yuta couldn't accept her death and unknowingly cursed her, to never leave him. So now he's up for execution, but Gojo "forced" the higher ups to holt Yuta's execution.

Back to the present.

"Yo Yuta, you're back!" Said Panda with an excited smile.

Yuta just awkwardly laughed and waved. He eyes locked on Maki who was staring out of the window indifferently.

"Sup dork." Said Maki.

"So Satoru, what are we doing here? Are we having regular class?" Asked Naoto as his eyes never left his phone.

"Them? Yes. You? No. You have to take Yuta on a mission. The higher ups said that you "have" to." Said Gojo.

Naoto and Yuta looked at Gojo like he was crazy. Naoto just nodded and stood up.

"Let's go Yuta, we have work to do." Said Naoto as he walked out of the room.

-Location: Outside of Jujutsu Tech-

Ijichi was the driver for Yuta and Naoto. Their mission was to investigate a cemetery, because local residents have been hearing strange sounds.

Some have heard, children crying, screams, and loud banging. So the jujutsu sorcerers were sent out to investigate.

"So Yuta? What did Satoru have you do for the past 6 months?" Asked Naoto.

"A lot of training and fighting against curses. He even made me do some of him missions, which were a lot harder than any other mission I've done." Said Yuta.

"Did you allow you to use rika?" Asked Naoto.

"No, he said I wouldn't grow as a sorcerer, if I relied on her to much. He also said that she's powerful, but uncontrollable when she gets worked up." Said Yuta with a wary smile.

"Makes sense, she almost killed Toge, Panda, and Maki when yall first met last year." Said Naoto.

They continue to talk about what Yuta has been doing for that past six months. Most of the conversation was about Yuta, and his likes.

"So, do you like Maki?l" askwd Naoto.

"Huh?! Wait why'd you ask that? Yeah she's pretty, very strong, and has a wonderful personality, but me liking her." Said Yuta with a nervous look.

"It's fine, me and Maki may be cousins but I don't care who she dates. As long as he's a guy that is kind to her and will always support her, then it's fine." Said Naoto with a slight smile.

"But if you do like her and want to be with her, you have to get stronger. She will not date anyone who is weaker than her. She even had requirements for her life long partner." Said Naoto.

"What are her requirements?" Asked Yuta.

"First and foremost, you have to be stronger than her. If you're not stronger than her, and try to court her. She'll flat out ignore you, and I've seen it happen. Second, you have to beat Mai is a sniper contest. And I'll tell you now, you're not gonna win, that girl can easily hit a target from almost a thousand meters away." Said Naoto.

Obviously Mai uses the little cursed energy she had to enhance all her physicals and senses. So hitting a target that far is child's play to her.

"So what's that third requirement?" Asked Yuta with a somewhat deflated smile.

"You have to be able to beat me. So if you're interested, give up." Said Naoto as he took out his phone.

But as soon as he was about to watch some anime, Ijichi crushed his hopes and dreams.

"We've arrived at our destination." Said Ijichi.

"Dammit, I was about to start my anime binge for the ride." Said Naoto as he put his phone away and opened the door.

When he stepped outside he sense's immediately started to alert him of a dangerous presence.

"Ijichi, put up a veil. There's a special grade curse here. Yuta get your ass up, you're gonna kill your first special grade cursed spirit." Said Naoto.

"Wait what?" Said Yuta with a confused expression.

"You're gonna do all the fighting, so hop to it." Said Naoto as he disappeared in a flash of light.

-POV: Yuta Okkotsu-

Why did he leave me? He's just like Gojo-sensei. But oh well, at least I can use Rika, she's been a bit grumpy as of late.

She's really doesn't like gojo. Everytime he's around, she becomes very agitated. Gojo's said he come tell she gets angry, so he made it his job to always annoy her when he came and visited me.

Now I have to deal with another sorcerer who may have the same personality. Who knew being a sorcerer was this stressful.

BOOOOOOOOM!!!!!

A loud explosion rang out behind me as I was walking through the cemetery. I quickly took my sword out of my bag and unsheathed it.

I looked at the cause of the explosion and seen a very tall curse. He had all black clothes, with a skeleton as its head.

'Is that the grim reaper?' I questioned as I heard that some westerners think he's the guy you meet after you die.

(A/n: If you understand the reference, you're a cultured man or woman.)

"Let's start without Rika." I said as I readied my sword.

-POV end-

Yuta immediately dashed at the target while coating his sword in cursed energy. The curse held out its hand and skeletons started to come out of the ground.

This took Yuta by surprise but he kept his composure. He started to take out the skeletons, one by one.

Over the past six months, his cursed energy control and confidence in himself started to increase.

He was no longer so timid and scared, he started to look like a real jujutsu sorcerer. Obviously he was still that same, and hasn't changed. He just became more confident in his abilities.

'Dammit, it's like they never stop. If they keep coming I'll have to summon Rika.' Thought Yuta.

He kept slicing through the horde of skeletons, left and right. He slayed them repeatedly. But they kept coming.

Suddenly, Yuta felt and large amount of cursed energy above his head. He pushed back the last skeleton and looked up.

He could see Naoto floating in the air with lightning circling around him.

He then held his hand and pointed it at the crowd of skeletons. He smiled and this said.

[𝘾𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙏𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙣𝙞𝙦𝙪𝙚 𝘼𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣: 𝘽𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙧𝙠 𝙎𝙖𝙞𝙠𝙖]

After those words left him mouth, a huge lightning bolt descended from the sky and struck the ground, disintegrating the skeletons simultaneously.

The curse make it out my surrounding himself with skeletons.

Yuta looked at Naoto with stars in his eyes. Gojo mentioned that, that only sorcerer alive that could possibly beat him was Naoto.

He also said the Yuki could possibly do it, but he doesn't really know. He's never seen Yuki fight, and she barely uses her technique.

"Hurry and wrap this up, Asami just texted me and said she bought ice cream. I want to get back as soon as possible." Said Naoto from the air as he sat of a cloud while scrolling through his phone.

Yuta just nodded and put a ring on his finger.

"Come Rika." Said Yuta and Rika slowly formed behind him.

[yUtA, dO you nEeD hElP?]

"Yes Rika do you see that curse over there? He's been hurting people and we need to stop him." Said Yuta as he touched Rika's face.

Naoto peeked over him phone and seen the interaction. He remembered the memes from his past life. In the culling games arc, Yuta fought a cockroach curse named Kurourushi.

He kissed the curse and injected reverse curse energy into the curse, making him die instantly.

Back to current events.

Yuta got into position and held his sword up. He then dashed at the reaper and slashed towards it.

The reaper defeated itself with a huge scythe. Rika appeared behind the curse and sent a flurry of punches.

The reaper was sent flying and was gravely injured. Yuta didn't let it recover and instantly cut its head off.

After that, the veil finally dropped and Ijichi was waiting. Ijichi looked and seen the destruction Naoto caused.

'Why does Gojo-San always recruit monsters like him?' Said Ijichi.

"Hurry up Yuta, the ice cream will melt." Said Naoto as he teleported away.

Yuta just looked at where Naoto was standing and smiled. But inside his head, he was thinking about why he felt annoyed.

'Well it doesn't matter. When you're that strong, you can act any way you want, I guess.' Thought Yuta with a slight smile, as he thought back to the conversation he had with Gojo.

He talked about how if you're strong, it doesn't matter how others think of you. As long as you have strength, you can do anything you desire.

Yuta really didn't know what he meant, but now he does.

Hopefully he can get to that type of strength one day.

-To Be continued-

=================================

Sorry for the very late chapter, I had to re write this twice. I also had my wisdom removed. It feels like I've been kicked in my face repeatedly.

I do not wish this type of pain on anyone.

And you may have noticed but Yuta's personality is a little different. He came a year earlier in this universe, Naoto did notice this but didn't, as he already said anything that changes, he'd take it all on himself.

Anyway, I used an Ai to make images for the Mc, Asami, and curse Chisato.

Naoto—>

Asami—>

Curse Chisato—>

Thanks for reading.
