A/N:
BTW I forgot to mention something about the new curse spirits. Funny thing is, Jishin literally means Earthquake while Raiun just means thundercloud. So yeahhhh their name is not original....

"Oi Geto what do you think our strength is compared to Sukuna's finger" said Jogo who was curious about how he would do if he face the king of curses.
Kenjaku who was in Geto's body put on a pondering expression "If I were to overestimate you I would say about 11 fingers"
Jogo hearing this got pretty excited. While Jishin asked "What about the rest of us, how many of Sukuna's finger are we worth?"
Kenjaku stopped and really thought about it, using all of his knowledge and experience he first point at Jishin and said "12 fingers"
Which made Jogo so pissed that everyone in the restaurant combusted into flames. Jishin just gave Jogo a smug look which just pissed him off even more.
He then pointed towards Hanami and while holding his nose to stop the smell of burnt humans from entering his nose, said "8 fingers"
He pointed towards Dagon next and said "7 fingers"
He pointed towards Raiun last and said "13 fingers"
Jogo slammed his hands on the table "WHAT?! WHY?! Are you saying he's stronger than me!?"
Kenjaku while rubbing his chin said "Yes and he's more versatile, you only control the lava and heat. Even though I say that, that in itself is pretty powerful. But you can't match Raiun's versatility which makes his attacks even more powerful and dangerous, something your power can't match"
"Duuuuuddddeeeee, you got to relaxxxx, fighting isn't everything, sometimes you just need to let the wind guide you. You are way too tense my guy" said Raiun while slouching on his seat.
Which just pissed off Jogo even more. "I refuse to believe Raiun is stronger than me. I'll show you, you said my strength is worth 11 of Sukuna's fingers, right? That should be more than enough to take on Gojo, just watch"
Jishin just had his arms crossed and said "Sorry Raiun, but I refuse to believe that you are stronger than me. So if Jogo is going after Gojo, I'm going after Ash."
Raiun didn't even look offended and just casually replied "No hard feelings bro, I totally get it. It's just who you two areee"
The more Jogo heard Raiun talking the more pissed off he just got.
...
Meanwhile Ash appeared quietly behind Yuji as he was intently watching a movie while holding a curse puppet to help control his curse energy.
Seeing Yuji so concentrated Ash just gained a teasing smirk as he quietly got closer and closer. When he appeared right next to his ear Ash just yelled out.
"BOO!"
Which startled Yuji, causing him to throw the popcorn and drink he was drinking everywhere, but he still held the curse puppet not taking away his hands away and letting his curse energy flow smoothly.
Yuji had a hand on his chest to calm down his accelerated heart beat "My God senpai, you almost gave me a heart attack"
"I see your training is coming along nicely. Wanna take it up a notch?"
Yuji just looked at him in confusion before shrugging his shoulder "sure"
Ash nodded before pulling up his phone and calling Gojo. "Yo Gojo-san do you mind if I take Yuji with me for a bit of training"
After a few seconds of thinking it over Gojo replies "Hmmm, what kind of training are we talking about?"
"He's going to be fighting my fire constructs"
"That's actually a good idea, sure I approve but don't over due it"
"Got it" and with that Ash hung up the phone and said "come on let's go." Before opening a portal infront of him, which Yuji quickly followed.
They soon appeared in a opened field with the ground and grass scorched. Ash just spread his arms slightly as he said "Welcome to your training field, as you can see it's been used slightly but it's nothing you should worry about.
Normally I would have had you fight me until you got the hang of it but I feel like you're the type to grow stronger under pressure, thats why you would be fighting these guys"
Ash snapped his finger and summoned 5 soldiers made out of flames wearing boxing gloves.
"They only dissappear after you use a good amount of curse energy if not they would just remain there attacking you. While you're fighting them, I would be coaching you on what to improve. Are you ready?"
Yuji got into a boxing position and nodded showing he was ready, ash just nodded back and commanded the soldiers to rush him.
Yuji thought back to when he thought he was going to die to the curses back in the prison, he used all that fear and self-hatred and turned it into curse energy.
He enhanced his fist with it and threw a straight punch towards the fire soldier closer to him.
The other soldiers then surrounded him and started to punch Yuji everywhere barely giving him a chance to counter attack.
After a few seconds the soldier Yuji punched exploded leaving only 4 and giving Yuji just some breathing room.
Ash seeing this just shouted "Congratulations on using Divergent Fist. But that's a low tier technique that could cost you your life if you're not careful.
Your fear and hatred doesn't come from your fist or your head it comes from your whole body. Your curse energy lags behind because of how you start the process of letting your curse energy flow.
Think of your body and soul as one, curse energy shouldn't start from a specific spot on your body it should start everywhere. Once it's everywhere, then you let it flow more towards a specific spot you want"
Yuji hearing Ash starts to get an idea what he's talking about and he put both of his guard up protecting his face. Closing his eyes he starts to concentrate.
While he's concentrating punches starts raining down on him from everywhere, after a few seconds Yuji is soon surrounding his entire body with curse energy. He then let's that energy towards his fist, and in a quick motion throws a punch, destroying the fire construct in one hit.
Elated, Yuji throws both hands in the air "WOAH, did you see that senpai i did it!" Before Yuji got anytime to celebrate a punch comes from one of the soldiers completely throwing him to the ground.
"OUCH!" Screamed Yuji while holding the side of his face.
Ash just shook his head with a small smile and made Yuji stand up again and continue fighting.
