I'm using ninjutsu in Jujutsu Kaisen!

Chapter 171: Aoi Todo's Teaching Moment

July 28th.

"So this is the place? Hmph, best friend, I'm here!"

At eight in the morning, Aoi Todo arrived, dressed in a sharp black outfit, pulling a suitcase with his left hand. Clearly, he planned to stay here for a few days.

Stepping into the [Kuraku Hotel], Aoi Todo strode to the front desk, took out his ID and wallet, and checked in.

He hadn't told anyone about this trip. He wanted to catch Tatsuro by surprise. He was really looking forward to the surprised expression on his best friend's face when he saw him.

"Enjoy your stay."

The front desk lady handed the room card and change to Aoi Todo. Looking at his nearly 1.9-meter-tall frame, she couldn't help but steal a few more glances. Although he couldn't be called handsome, his temperament was evident; it was superb!

"Mm."

Aoi Todo glanced at the room number and then left, whistling. If they didn't spar now, who knew when the next time would be? Life can't have regrets!

July 29th, 3:30 AM.

Tatsuro, just off work, was currently out with his whole family. After all, it wasn't good to wander the streets with Shura during the day, so he could only take him out for a walk late at night after work.

There was a figure tailing him from behind. Tatsuro just smiled faintly at this. Shura had smelled Aoi Todo's scent the moment they left the hotel.

It was self-evident why he had come. He must have thought that since he couldn't participate in the Goodwill Event, he had come to spar with him in advance.

Aoi Todo was also a rare kind of person. He was very pure and wouldn't start distancing himself because of so-called political issues. He liked this kind of person very much.

After all, there were no hidden meanings in his words, though the people around him were all of this character. He was very fortunate to have these sincere friends.

'Master, several strangers are approaching quickly.'

Shura, who was often in 'Sage Mode', was now perfectly demonstrating what it meant to be a human radar. Lady Katsuyu could also play this role, but she couldn't communicate telepathically. In short, she was not as convenient to use as Shura.

'Understood.'

Tatsuro replied, raising his right hand to pat Shura's head. He thought to himself, "Is it those guys from the jujutsu higher-ups? It seems they're really impatient. They just notified me yesterday, and today they're ready to use force to take me away?"

Should I fight?

This question echoed in the young man's mind. At the same time, he was also thinking about what would happen if he fought.

Be expelled from the jujutsu world?

If that were the case, it would harm Maki and the others. He couldn't do that. He wasn't a child who did whatever he wanted. He had to weigh the pros and cons.

Like the battle with the Kamo family this time, if he couldn't control his selfish desires and attacked first, it would probably turn into him single-handedly slaughtering the Kamo family, and then being wanted by the entire jujutsu world. Even Gojo-sensei wouldn't be able to protect him.

After a moment of contemplation, Tatsuro gave up the idea of fighting the higher-ups. The disadvantages were too great and not beneficial to him; there was no benefit at all.

The only benefit might be the points given by the system, but that was also useless. He wasn't just a few dozen points away from eternal evolution; he was a full seven hundred points short!

Even if he wiped out the Zenin family, he probably wouldn't get that many points.

His black pupils didn't gaze into the distance, because at night, he was a complete "blind man." He couldn't see clearly beyond one meter.

"Click—"

Three black figures flashed past. Two stood in the middle of the road, blocking Tatsuro and the others' path. One stepped on top of a solar-powered streetlight, his murderous pupils fixed on Tatsuro, as if by instinct.

The three were dressed in white tops and black trousers, their faces covered with black cloth. Their cold eyes radiated killing intent, as if they were executioners specially trained for assassination.

"Who are you?!"

Diabolos immediately stood in front of Tatsuro, his hands covered in purple venom, and shouted loudly.

"Come back with us, Tatsuro. The order from the higher-ups arrived yesterday. We're here to take you back today. Although you are very strong, don't make things difficult for us."

The man standing on top of the streetlight spoke.

"August 6th."

Tatsuro patted Diabolos's arm, signaling him not to be so agitated, and slowly walked forward.

His 'contract' with Senior Hakari was for one month. The month wasn't over yet. If he left, it meant he had worked for nothing. He had already figured out how much he wanted; one hundred million!

According to the bills from the [Kuraku Hotel] these past few days, he had calculated a reasonable price. If he suddenly left, he wouldn't get a single yen of that one hundred million. It would break his heart.

Although the money he had earned these past few days had long exceeded this one hundred million yen, who made it so that those things couldn't be sold?

The 'Special Grade Cursed Tool' he got from Kamo Kenmotsu, he estimated its value to be around seven or eight hundred million. After all, Maki's 'Playful Cloud' was worth up to five hundred million. This was real estate; he couldn't sell it. And those ninjutsu he drew, in a sense, were also very valuable, but he couldn't sell them either. If estimated by value alone, it would be around a billion. After all, the activation conditions for 'Kirin' were too harsh.

He said, "On August 6th, how about you come to Jujutsu High to find me? I have a 'contract' that I must complete right now."

"No. You have to come with us now."

The man, seeing Tatsuro's pleading expression, did not agree. After all, they represented the higher-ups at this moment.

"I won't run away. There's no need to be so serious. How about you bend the rules a little? Or should we make a 'Binding Vow'?"

Tatsuro clapped his hands together and said with a pleading expression, but the three-tomoe in his eyes had already appeared, as if saying, 'If you don't agree, then we can only fight.'

"..."

"Wait a minute, let me ask."

The man standing on top of the streetlight took out his phone. Although he was looking forward to a battle with Tatsuro, it was just some anticipation. The title of single-handedly annihilating almost the entire Kamo family still made him flinch. And he had also agreed to make a 'contract', so there was no need to worry about him escaping. One should know when to retreat. If given a way out, one should take it quickly.

Five seconds later;

"What is it?"

An old voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's like this..." The man turned around and whispered Tatsuro's request.

"Mm, I understand. Just let him make a contract that we will pick him up at Tokyo Jujutsu High on the night of August 6, 2018."

"Yes."

The man breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the call hang up, he put it in his pocket, turned to look at Tatsuro below, and said, "Then let's do as you say. Set the 'contract'; we will wait for you at the Tokyo Jujutsu High training grounds at 12 PM on the night of August 6, 2018. You must come."

"Yes, agreed. Then I'll have to trouble you all. Goodbye."

Tatsuro finished speaking and looked at the two blocking his path, signaling that they were in his way.

The two looked at each other and then stepped aside. After all, the mission was completed. They were not the type to look for trouble.

"Let's go."

Tatsuro took Noa Yorishie's small hand and started to leave. Diabolos glanced at these three, the purple on his hands dissipated, and he quickly followed the departing King.

He asked in a low voice, "King, why didn't you kill them? If you think it will dirty your hands, I can handle it."

"This is a political issue. I can't just think for myself, just like I can't implicate you."

Tatsuro's black pupils glanced at Diabolos and then did not answer this question again. An individual's power is ultimately limited. At this moment, without much cursed energy storage, he seemed to have lost the qualification to be reckless. But those people didn't know; he could store cursed energy…

'King... doesn't want to implicate me, just like family.'

Diabolos's eyes flickered. At this moment, he felt extremely honored. He quickly said, "I have always believed in the King's decisions."

"Hmph."

Tatsuro smiled faintly. Although he knew this guy was flattering him, the fact that he could always say what was on his mind was also a skill, wasn't it? More importantly, when things happened, he really dared to step up.

"Brother, are you going to be taken away?"

Noa Yorishie tightly gripped Tatsuro's left hand, her trembling voice filled with reluctance.

"No, I'll be back in a few days."

Tatsuro raised his right hand and patted Noa Yorishie's head, saying, "Do you want to go play with Sister Maki?"

"Yes." Noa Yorishie nodded, revealing the innocence appropriate for her age.

"Then in a few days, you can go find Sister Maki to play."

"Mm." Noa Yorishie obediently let Tatsuro pat her head.

"The matter of Noa's family," Lady Katsuyu on Tatsuro's shoulder said in a low voice.

This also reminded Tatsuro. After all, he did not have her custody, which was considered child abduction. This was a serious crime in Japan; he could be shot, though it probably couldn't break his defense.

After a moment of thought, he just smiled and said, "Just throw money at it. Noa has been missing for so long, and they don't care. Can't I just buy the custody? After all, this is the only way to highlight the value of the money I've earned. I'll leave this matter to you, Diabolos."

"Yes, I will buy the young lady's custody at the highest price, to let them know the nobility of the young lady's identity," Diabolos said with a bow.

"No, the lowest. I feel it's a waste to give them too much money. You know what to do, right?"

"..."

Diabolos's pupils contracted. His bowed body did not straighten up. A smile appeared on his lips as he said, "I understand the King's meaning. I will handle it tomorrow."

"Mm."

Tatsuro didn't want to talk too much with this guy either. After all, his choice of words was really speechless, making him sound like a chuunibyou noble. Perhaps only those "real" nobles would be used to this kind of speech, but he could not get used to it.

At Jujutsu High, Maki and the others would definitely laugh their stomachs out, not forgetting to tease him:

"Hahaha! What the hell? 'King'? Did you become a European noble after being out for a month? Hahaha!"

They would definitely say that…

And then imitate him: "Oh! Damn it, your joke makes me laugh nonstop. After I'm done laughing, I will definitely kick your ass hard with these shiny leather shoes, definitely."

Although it was ridiculous, they would definitely say that. After all, they were a group, and this group did not allow anyone to be missing.

The night was quiet, so quiet that the "sh-sh" sound of walking could be heard echoing in their ears.

Aoi Todo, who had been following them, was now ambushing them on the road ahead. He had seen everything just now and now understood how correct his decision yesterday had been.

To be directly managed by the Jujutsu General Affairs Department. To put it bluntly, those old undying fools coveted his strength and wanted to hold him in their hands before he grew beyond their control.

Once he went, it would be difficult to meet again in the future. Although he couldn't participate in matters between the higher-ups, if his best friend asked for his help, he would do it; after all, that's what best friends are for!

Tonight, let's get "high"!

On the small road at night, crickets were chirping. Under a streetlight, stood a man with a bare upper body.

"What…"

Before Diabolos could finish speaking, he saw the King beside him begin to stretch his body. Lady Katsuyu on his shoulder also landed on Shura. It seemed she recognized the shirtless man in the distance.

"Long time no see."

In Tatsuro's vision, under the distant streetlight stood a mosaic that was flesh-colored on top and black on the bottom.

But this did not affect his recognition of Aoi Todo. After all, he was the one following him. He must have been bored out of his mind for the past six months, without an opponent he could go all out against. Even he himself might not be able to accompany him at the Goodwill Event.

"Indeed, a month is too long."

Aoi Todo threw down the clothes in his hand, took a stance, and said, "Although not seeing your surprised expression makes me a little frustrated, you have to let me have my fun this time, best friend!"

"Of course."

Tatsuro patted Noa Yorishie's head. She obediently let go of his left hand and went to lean on Lady Katsuyu on Shura. Children of this age always like to lean on things they feel safe with.

"Should I set up a curtain, King? No one will disturb your good time."

Diabolos gave the man in the distance a deep look. Hearing his tone of voice, he seemed to be the King's senior.

"No need. After all, it's so late, basically no one will show up."

Besides being a barrier, the role of a 'Curtain' was also to allow jujutsu sorcerers to exorcise curses more covertly. After all, it wouldn't be good if people saw someone flying in the sky. It would create public pressure and lead to the emergence of new curses. Normal humans could enter a 'Curtain', but those who entered would actively ignore the jujutsu sorcerers who were exorcising curses. That's right, actively ignore. You could clearly see that person, but your instinct would make you actively ignore him until you left the 'Curtain'.

The reason a curtain could have such an effect was all thanks to Master Tengen, that "monster" who had lived for who knows how many years; although calling him that seemed a bit disrespectful, it was accurate. After all, he had lived for too long; he could only be called a monster.

Wait a minute… It seems that guy who has been spying on me is still around. Forget it, it's not like I'm exposing my ninjutsu. Everyone knows taijutsu…

Scarlet cursed energy appeared outside his body. His black pupils stared at Todo in the distance. This duel, which was like fate, had finally begun.

He had taught him 'Black Flash' and had indirectly allowed him to learn 'Reverse Cursed Technique'. For the young man, he was also his mentor.

A existence that was both a teacher and a friend. After all, he would always say some philosophical things.

What kind of woman he likes, chasing after love, unconditionally teaching those he looks favorably upon; although the time they spent together was short, it left a deep impression on Tatsuro. He seemed to better embody the words "straightforward" and "unfettered."

"Crack—"

The vast cursed energy caused cracks to appear on the concrete ground. Tatsuro charged straight over. He didn't take the 'Summoning Scroll' or the 'Special Grade Cursed Tool' on Shura's back; a real man's brawl!

"Watch carefully, Little Noa. You have to keep up with brother's pace in the future," Lady Katsuyu, perched on Shura, said.

"Mm, I will keep up in the future!" Noa Yorishie nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with admiration.

The seed of "the strongest" was also "planted" in her heart.

"Good one!"

Aoi Todo's muscles bulged. He took a stance to meet the approaching Tatsuro. He had waited for this moment for too long. Since the end of last year's Goodwill Event, he had waited until now. Today, no one could stop the passionate friendship between him and his best friend!

"Smack!"

Fist met palm. The two vast amounts of cursed energy began to clash.

A confrontation of red and blue. All the cursed energy in their bodies began to gather. Both had received the baptism of 'Black Flash', and their understanding of cursed energy had long surpassed that of an ordinary Grade 1 sorcerer.

That feeling of being surrounded by all things, of being omnipotent; a sense of sublimation…

With the first clash, the two conveyed their passionate hearts to each other, and then the formal clash began.

Feeling; it was a strange thing. They clearly hadn't been together for long, but they knew "his" next move, as if a bond of souls had allowed the two to reach "resonance" at this moment.

"Smack, smack, smack…!"

An excited expression spread across their lips. Both of them were only using the most basic taijutsu to fight. Although Tatsuro was fighting with great difficulty, he did not fall into a disadvantage because of it.

Even though he had been training his stamina to make his body stronger, Tatsuro could never reach the level of Maki or Yuji. He had crushed Yuji before not because he was stronger than him, but because his practical combat skills were not as rich as his own, so it was like fighting a baby. But that was also normal. After all, he was just an ordinary person last year. Without his rich nutritional conditioning, his height this year probably hadn't even reached 1.7 meters.

"Smack!"

Feeling the numbness on the back of his hand, Aoi Todo said excitedly, "That's it! My best friend, you have already climbed to a height that ordinary people cannot reach. Continue to climb up! I will do my best to guide you!"

"Hmph!"

A confident smile spread across Tatsuro's lips.

This feeling, it was getting stronger and stronger; an unstoppable excitement!

"Phew…"

'Let's try it. Actively land a Black Flash…'

Tatsuro took a deep breath and thought to himself. He had never landed this thing in a real battle before. After all, compared to fists, he was much better with cold weapons. It was mainly because that thing was too difficult to use. To this day, no sorcerer could actively land it. What kind of gold standard was that!

He felt that only when one was crazy to the extreme could one wholeheartedly feel that thing and land this 1/1,000,000 'Black Flash' by relying on sharp intuition.

After all, madmen all possessed abilities that were difficult for ordinary people to match. This could be fully proven in jujutsu sorcerers; they were all madmen who still maintained their sanity!

"Be careful, best friend. I'm going to start using Black Flash."

After Tatsuro's reminder, the pupils in his eyes instantly turned scarlet, the three tomoe slowly spinning. He was getting serious…

"Ah, come at me with all you've got!"

Aoi Todo said, his right hand blocking the young man's attack, his left hand like a swift poisonous tongue, "biting" at his neck.

"Smack!"

In an instant;

Looking at the slapped-away left hand, Aoi Todo's pupils contracted. His reaction is really fast!

But, this was also within his expectations. His best friend was not the kind of man who stood still and was easily satisfied! And he hated boring men the most.

Perhaps, he should also try to believe in his best friend, believe that he would not die under his one 'Black Flash'!

After all; he had grown!

The rapid progress of his best friend, the excitement at this moment, allowed his never-before-used Black Flash to be unsealed! Because, he had never met an enemy who could make him use 'Black Flash' before!

Two fists full of cursed energy were thrown; the excitement in their eyes, and Tatsuro's own good 'Reverse Cursed Technique', made them not afraid of hurting the other at this moment. As long as they didn't aim for vital points, even if they triggered 'Black Flash', he wouldn't die!

The black sparks, in whose hands will they shine!?

"'Black Flash'!"

"'Black Flash'!"

The two simultaneously hit each other's bodies, and the black sparks were impartial to everyone.

The moment the fists touched, the cursed energy instantly erupted into black, perfectly blending with the beautiful dark night. The distorted space made both of them feel pain. The powerful force sent both of them flying backwards; blood could be seen coming out of their mouths.

"Damn it…"

Tatsuro's eyes began to roll back, and he spat out bloody foam. Aoi Todo's fist was already hard to block, and now he had taken a 'Black Flash'!

"Clang—"

The young man's flying body slammed onto the ground. After rolling a few times, he lay on the ground motionless.

"Brother!"

In the distance, Noa Yorishie's pupils constricted violently. She shouted, and was about to run forward when she was pulled back by Diabolos.

Having seen the King at his full strength, he didn't think this kind of move would cause him any harm.

"Cough, cough!"

Two breaths later, Tatsuro spat out a mouthful of blood. He didn't use the 'Reverse Cursed Technique' to repair his injuries, but knelt on the ground, spitting out the accumulated blood in his body, gasping for breath.

"Best friend, can you still fight?"

Aoi Todo was not feeling well at this moment either. He felt that under that one blow just now, his internal organs had already become necrotic.

"Yeah, not dead…"

Tatsuro slowly stood up. This Black Flash, without a physique like Maki's, was really hard to take.

The body; it was one of his few shortcomings.

"Let's continue."

Tatsuro stood up and looked at Aoi Todo, unconsciously taking a deep breath. Perhaps it was because he felt the pressure. The cursed energy in his body was flowing on its own, alleviating the severe pain of his wounds.

This kind of pain, he hadn't experienced it in a long time…

He had almost forgotten how painful it was. To be honest, even when he injured himself with the Rasengan, it wasn't this painful, because he would use the 'Reverse Cursed Technique' to instantly repair it, at the moment the pain was about to spread.

Perhaps it was this pain at this moment that made his consciousness sharper. He seemed to have entered the state he was in when he had just learned the 'Reverse Cursed Technique', that feeling of omnipotence.

It also made him realize the limitation of 'Black'. It didn't seem to be limited to the fist, but to the object that the cursed energy touched.

His thinking had undergone an evolution!

He seemed to have found the direction to move forward…
