The curse then opened it's massive mouth, and a figure walked out calmly, with both hands in his pockets.
His long dark hair was tied into a ponytail and he was dressed in a customized Jujutsu uniform with baggy pants. His handsome visage looked towards the surroundings for a moment, however he paused for a moment, after his gaze landed on Sasuke's figure.
Meanwhile, Sasuke's heart sunk even further. He could probably escape from a first grade cursed, however pairing it up with none other than Suguru Geto himself was overkill for the current him.
Without hesitation, his hand moved towards his Kusanagi and rested on the handle. He wasn't going to go down without a fight.
'Its him? I wouldn't mistake those eyes for anything..'
Suguru thought as he jumped off the worm cursed spirit and landed on the ground.
"A black robe with red cloud imprints?.. What's an infamous assassin like yourself doing in these parts?'
Suguru asked, and turned around, scanning the innate domain and frowning, now realising the gravity of the situation he had just barged into.
"How do you know me? None of my victims have lived to tell the tale.."
Sasuke spoke matter-of- factly, as Suguru nodded with a small smile.
"Yes, I've heard of your ruthless nature as well, but unfortunately, I'm not here to hunt you down. There are rather pressing matters at the moment.."
Suguru's words caused the anxiety in Sasuke's heart to reduce by half in an instant, and the hand tightly gripping onto the Kusanagi relaxed.
"W-what?! It's you! Why are you here?!"
The old man who had nearly choked to death slowly arose only to find Suguru's figure looking into the distance.
"Oi, old fogey. It's been a while. You're quite tenacious to have recovered so quickly from that beatdown I gave you the last time. I hope the Star Religious Group paid you well that day.."
Letting out a small smile, Suguru waved towards the old man who instantly puked out blood.
Hearing Suguru's words, Sasuke on the other hand chuckled coldly. His assumptions were right, they were trying to kill him after all.
*DoNt... rUn...AwAy... fRoM...mE*
*Step! Step!*
Suddenly a shrill scream resounded followed by a burst of cursed energy that caused both Sasuke and Suguru to direct their attention towards the Northern part of the structure.
With the Sharingan fully activated, Sasuke frowned when he looked towards the source of the scream. The cursed energy that exploded from that source seemed to possess a shadowy demonic aura to it that seemed to appear and disappear, as if it could seep into another dimension.
As they looked on, several steps rang out from the east, and they turned their heads only to see a short, stout blue furry cursed spirit walking out of the dark.
It had the head of an elephant, yet it's eyeballs were as huge as that of a fly. It had two humanoid arms with fingers that bore sharp claws just like it's jarred teeth.
As the cursed spirit lifted it's hand, Sasuke could see the strands of pure golden cursed energy that seemed to revolve around its body.
"There's two grade ones in here..but there's something else, something unfathomable..."
Suguru spoke, as his brows knitted in a frown. Something was not right about this mission he had been assigned to execute.
*BOOM!*
The cursed spirits hand suddenly formed a seal, and almost instantly, a beam of light swallowed Sasuke's body, seemingly combusting his body and the area around it, leading to an explosion that rocked the warehouse.
Even Suguru couldn't help but frown, truth to be told, even he had not expected such an unpredictable attack from the curse. He chuckled though, after he realized that all that remained at the site of explosion was a piece of charred wood, as Sasuke reappeared beside him.
Meanwhile, Sasuke couldn't help but frown, realising just how close he had come to dying from the curses attack. He hadn't even had the chance to recover his bearing when he threw caution to the wind and flickered, appearing in midair at breakneck speed.
Right where he stood, a massive scaled arm seemed to rip through the shadows as it's massive and sharp nails grabbed at him, wanting to tear him apart..
Meanwhile, Suguru angrily waved his hand, opening a small portal behind him, ready to summon legions of curses to aid him in battle when he suddenly halted.
Turning his head towards another direction, he saw a giant cocoon get ripped open by a white humanoid arm from within.
Landing soundlessly on the ground, Sasuke's Sharingan squinted, before realization dawned on him, as the humanoid figure emerged from it's cocoon.
"Special Grade ...cursed womb"
His heart skipped a beat, his body tensed and a bead of sweat rolled down his cheeks.
Suguru on the other hand was rather calm, despite his tight knitted brows. If for anything at all, he was rather surprised at the fact that an unidentified special grade was inhabiting a vicinity so close to residential area, and the Jujutsu society knew practically nothing about it.
"I'll handle the special grade. Those two are yours. If I'm able to deal with the Special Grade quickly enough, I'll come help you out, so don't die.."
Suguru spoke, resisting the urge to smile. It seemed like that idiot, Gojo was starting to rub off on him.
Meanwhile Sasuke merely nodded at his words, taking a deep breath and calming himself. Unlike Suguru, this was going to be the most difficult battle he'd ever experienced since he came into this world.
While deep down, he acknowledged the possible chance of gruesome death, he still had to fight. There was no where to run, and now where to hide. This was a battle in which everything he had learnt so far would come into play.
Taking another deep breath, his steadied his heart rate, as his purplish black cursed energy rippled out of his body, followed by a stream of lightning. He was going to fight and he was going to win.
His Sharingan activated, and he unsheathed the Kusanagi, holding the blade in reverse...
"Tsk. Impressive..
What is your name?"
Turning towards Sasuke who seemed ready for battle, Suguru couldn't help but click his tongue in astonishment, at the impressive display from the kid. While he was not one who was easily moved, his heart shook at the sight of Sasuke's extreme cursed energy and his irises, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Sasuke...Uchiha Sasuke."
This was the second time Sasuke had spoken to him since they had met, and a smile blossomed on his face.
"Uchiha?. Hmmm. That's new.."
Suguru's cursed energy seemed like a boiling lava, waiting to erupt from his body, and in a wave of his hand, a portal seemingly materialized behind him, while waves of centipede like curses flooded out.
"Go!!"
Like a storm, the curses flooded towards the white humanoid special grade, destroying everything else in their path.
Meanwhile, Sasuke faced off against the two first grades. Gripping his sword tightly, his body suddenly flickered, disappearing from where he stood and the next instant, a beam of light erupted from where he stood.
While in midair, he wasted to no time and blitzed towards the short blue curse.
*BANG!*
The Kusanagi wrapped in a stream of lightning slashed towards it with frightening accuracy, however the curse raised it's arm in an attempt to block the blade, only for it to clean cleave through it's flesh, as blood spurted out.
'Its attacks are unpredictable, but it's defenses are-'
Before Sasuke could even finish drawing his conclusions, a beam of energy blasted towards his head from behind the curse, as if on command.
Right on cue, his body bent backwards unnaturally, closely evading the beam of energy. The curse, without wasting any time, turned into a beam of light and blitzed away, while Sasuke who instantly recovered flickered and chased after it, wrapped in lightning.
'Its leaving tendrils of cursed energy around wherever it passes..could it be trying to create some sort of land mine field for me?'
As the realisation hit him, Sasuke instantly corkscrewed into the air, and blitzed towards the curse at full speed. Solidifying his cursed energy to create invisible footholds, he used wind nature change to propel himself forward at immense speed.
However, when the cursed spirit turned around and formed another hand seal, his brows couldn't help but furrow in confusion. So far he had avoided all the energy triggers of the energy land mine by running in the air, but....
*BOOOM!*
Multiple golden beams of energy erupted from all directions, in a split second, without giving him much time to counter. With that Sharingan at his disposal he managed to dodge dozens of them coming at him at near lightning speed, however he still fell short.
His figure soared through the air and crashed into a pillar, shattering it and skidding across the rocky floor like a pebble on the surface of a lake.
"Ughhh!"
He coughed out blood, and steam arose from his skin, as if he had just been baked in an oven. Using the Kusanagi as support he tried to rise to his feet, however a massive arm suddenly emerged from the shadows right beside him.
*BANG!*
Despite the fact that he had used the Kusanagi wrapped in lightning to block the attack, the impact sent him flying once more, as he crashed into a wall and slid down slowly.
After about a moment of unconsciousness, he pushed the debris off his body much to the surprise of the two curses and slowly arose to his feet, despite being bloodied.
He was right after all, first grades were leagues above second and third grades. The sheer amount of awareness and strategic acumen these two possessed alone was enough to probably take down bonafide first grade sorcerers by surprise.
*Mission Activated:
Eliminate two first grades..
Rewards: 50,000 system points, S class Lightning Jutsu: Kirin. Summoning Jutsu : Demonic snake God, Aoda.*
"Finally! Some bloody rewards!"
After a few moments of silence a crazy laugh resounded, as Sasuke slowly arose to his feet, despite his haggard appearance.
He puked out more blood -- the attack had done more internal damage than external, however, the fierce glint in his Sharingan shone even brighter.
Angrily clenching his fists, he ripped off the Akatsuki robe off his body, and raised the Kusanagi in reverse, signalling to his opponents that he wasn't done. At least not yet.
He was going to kill them both, no matter the cost and survive.
