Chereads / The Phoenix of Jujutsu Kaisen / Chapter 46 - War Started

Chapter 46 - War Started

(Omni pov):

A few weeks pass and Ash can be seen making two flaming rasenshuriken made entirely of purple flames on each hand. Even the spinning blade is made out of his flames.

He then casually throws them both at two separate groups of curses and it cuts right through them until they both reach the middle and exploded, engulfing all the nearby curse spirits in a dome made out of purple fire, burning them all to ashes

Maki who was watching everything from the side just sigh "Do you really need to make some of your movesets based on anime?"

Ash hearing Maki just nodded "Of course I do, what kinda of anime enjoyer would I be if I didn't take some of their moves for myself and make it my own"

Maki just rolled her eyes at him "I still can't believe you started kidnapping curses and bringing them in the middle of nowhere just so you can test out your new moves"

Ash with a small smirk just said "It's called being resourceful, I'm not just going to be throwing my new techniques at nothing there has to be a target.

Plus what's wrong with a little community service.I get a target and the people of Tokyo are safe, a win-win situation"

Having nothing better to do Ash thought it would be more practical to just go out and hunt curse spirits but instead of exorcising them he would then teleport them to the middle of nowhere where he and Maki would go for their spars and test out moves he either seen in anime or he simply created.

Ash would also get Maki to experiment on curses using different weapons he had created and adjusted for example the green knuckle dusters he gave her before, now instead of knuckle dusters Ash turned them into green colored gauntlets that she carries at the side of her hip.

Which makes it easier for her to hold weapons. It also makes it easier for her to keep combos going with any weapons she's holding currently alongside her fists.

Seeing that he finished all the curses he brought over, Ash knew that it was time to go back and with that they left the middle of nowhere and returned back to the school

Once back they made their way towards the field where the rest of their classmates were sparring with each other

Maki and Ash just sat on the ground with Ash putting his head on Maki's lap. They both then watched the others train amongst themselves and once they finished they soon followed Ash's and Maki's leed and sat on the ground as well

The first one to speak was Panda "So the war is in 24 days, how do you think it would go?" Panda was still slightly nervous as this was the first time he has actually fought in a war.

"It should be fairly easy to deal with, i mean we got 3 special grade sorcerer on our side while they just have 1, not to mention with my new strength I can deal with alot of the curse spirits they will summon" Maki said while playing with Ash's hair.

Due to testing her new strength Maki's confidence has gone through the roof which is justified since she really has gotten stronger and better at fighting

Ash then spoke "You guys keep forgetting that since the abundance of curse power has appeared more and more curses keep appearing which means

New special grades spirits have appeared as well that have not been identified or registered which can be in Geto's arsenal for all we know.

And we don't know how many of them he has"

This got the rest of then quiet and the atmosphere got quite heavy.

To lighten the mood Ash reassured them "You guys keep forgetting just how strong I really am, I just told you guys that so you won't be caught off guard if you guys end up facing him.

Plus if something did happen and you guys got seriously hurt, I can just heal you right back up to perfect health" Ash finished with a confident smile.

Thanks to that the mood became lighter and they started discussing different ideas and plans on how to counter act Geto's curse technique and how to deal with him.

When school finished both Maki and Ash then decided to go shopping for different types of clothes

"Are you really shopping for how you're going to appear in a war." Maki asks him bewildered by what he was doing

Ash just had a small smirk "It's for intimidating, no one wants to mess with a guy that's dressed fashionably with their coat just flapping around in the wind

It just shows you're ready for any kind of business"

Maki just shook her head at his reply "You're probably right but it just feels like its a bit to much and you're going overboard with it"

Ash just smiled at that "I probably am but it's fun, and a plus side I get to spend some quality time with you. All we have been doing is training and training, I get it don't get me wrong and I know why it's important but I still want to spend some time with you"

Maki just softly smiled at his answer and wrapped her arms around his and just stood on her tip toes and kissed his cheek

Ash just smiled at her gesture and with that they spent the rest of the day shopping.

(Scene change: Geto's temple):

Geto can be seen sitting down lazily in a chair infront of the six people he considers family.

In the table there's a man showing his exposed torso with pink hearts covering his nipples that goes by the name Larue

A woman who is in charge of their financial situation and acts like Geto's secretary that goes by the name of Manami Suda

A African man whose eyes and hair are both normally covered by accessories. He has thin lips and large ears decorated with hoop earrings. Armless sunglasses cover his eyes and always wears a large puffy beret-style hat whose name is Miguel.

Then there are twin girls dressed in school uniforms Nanako and Mimiko Hasaba.

And lastly a guy that goes by the name Toshihisa Negi. Negi has a large scar going down the right side of his face. He wears a headband with parallel line decals and spiky hair.

And while sitting down and on her phone  Nanako asks Geto "Geto-sama why did you give the school so much prep time for the Parade, it's so boring just waiting why couldn't we do it sooner" Nanako at this point just started whining

Mimiko her twin sister just scolded her "Don't be rude Nanako Geto-sama must have a good reason"

Geto hearing them just smiles and answers "You're right I would have done it sooner but an unexpected situation occurred, I want to humiliate the person who humiliated me back and make them pay.

And if we went with the plans we originally set up we would have most likely failed due to him.

So I have to make myself stronger and make my army bigger.

This isn't a prep time for Jujutsu High, this is prep time for us as well I don't doubt the first year will get stronger but I'm not that easy to kill either and to make my plans go accordingly I'm really going to need Rika Orimoto

With her by my side I can get rid of the monkeys that infect this world and make Ash Fenix pay for the humiliation that day." And by the end of his speech Geto smile turned sadistic promising pain.

Geto then starts explaining his new plans to them.

They all just nodded at his plan and left the meeting getting ready for their new plan of action

Geto was still in his chair rubbing the cheek which Ash punched and was lost in thought, it's easy making plans for people that you know alot about but for people that you don't know the limitations of its going to be hard.

(Scene change: Jujutsu High, Next day):

Ash can be seen on the Field again but this time he's infront of Yuta.Yuta has made a flamethrower using his curse energy trying to mimic Ash's curse technique

"It's not going to work, at most it's just going to copy the fact that it makes flames and that's it, my curse technique is much too complex for you to just copy it" Ash said in a deadpan tone.

Yuta was just smiling "it's still going to be fun just burning stuff and who better to try this on than someone who doesn't get affected by flames, plus I need your help to see just how powerful and useful it is"

Ash just sighs "Hurry it up I don't got all day I promised Maki I'll cook for her today"

Yuta simply just smiled before pulling the trigger and blast off a wave of flames from his curse energy made flamethrower

Ash just started to take the flames getting a feel for them 'they're just ordinary flames induced with curse energy,  it doesn't have any properties except being hot and that's it' Ash thought while feeling the flames.

"I'm not trying to discouraged you or anything but I don't think you're ever going to copy my phoenix flames.

The Flames of a Phoenix are just way to mythical for you to just copy them using curse energy" Ash warned Yuta

Yuta just sighed "I know I know but It doesn't hurt to try it out atleast plus if it doesn't work out I still get to have a sick flamethrower" Yuta said trying to cheer himself up from his failure

"Did you already mastered Toge's technique" Ash asked curiously

"No it's hard to control, the curse power spreads to much and it's hard to focus it. Inumaki is amazing." Yuta replied

Ash just smacked Yuta in the back of the head.

*smack*

"Ouch"

"What was that for" Yuta asked incredulously

"For being a dumbass, why the hell are you trying to learn my powers when you couldn't even master Toge's.

Look I know having alot of versatility is very important but don't just focus on that, what's the point of all this power if you can't even control it, it would be a waste of time." Ash then started to reprimand Yuta

And thats how the first years spent most of their time in class, until it was finally time.

Its finally December 24 2017.

The first years were mostly separated into two groups. Panda, Toge, and Maki were in Shinjuku Tokyo with Gojo while Yuta and Ash were in Jujutsu High to defend it from all the chaos that would erupt.

(Pov change: Ash Fenix):

So it's finally time for this to get started. I know that Maki can handle herself well so there's nothing to worry about with her, what I'm worried about it's Kyoto. Nothing was ever mentioned about it in the manga or movie, they are most likely who would face the consequences of Geto's action more than Tokyo

Not to mention if something happens to Maki's sister she would be devastated which is something I would really like to avoid, sigh so much to do.

While lamenting on my thoughts I felt Geto's curse power "Yuta get ready he's here"

"Yeah I know I felt it too and he's seems stronger than before"

"Thats probably cause of me, since he was thrown to the ground and wants payback. do you want to get a go at it and be the one to initiate the fight first or should I"

Yuta then put a pondering expression "Hmm let me go first if you went then the fun would be over before it even started"

I simply raised a brow at that, it seems I may have turned Yuta into a little bit of a battle junkie. Interesting.

I just waved my hands in a 'go ahead' gesture

And as Geto arrived he set up a curtain "Emerge from the darkness, blacker than darkness. Purify that which is impure"

Yuta then soon arrived outside while I just stood up and appeared on the roof top to watch the battle unfold.

And as Geto saw us he just put on a sadistic smile "Perfect just the two I wanted to see, so are you coming at me at the same time, come I've been waiting for this for a few weeks now"

Then Yuta appeared infront of Geto with his sword already drawn and smiled "No I alone am enough" and tried to slash Geto but he manage to bend himself backwards a bit dodging the strike.

Geto then jump back a bit and pulled out playful cloud from his ugly worm like creature that was hanging out his shoulder and while pulling it out he started to also summon multiple curse spirit while Yuta just summoned Rika

Geto then started to skillfully wave around playful cloud and get into a fighting position

With a sadistic smile he just said "Since this is a one vs one lets get this parade started"

And with that both Yuta and Geto started running towards each other leaving after images behind.
