The next day, 9:30 am..

Yuji and Maki were outside in the back training again. Maki slashed at him with her blade, which Yuji ended up swiftly dodging. Yuji jumps back and throws an explosive fireball in her direction, Maki quickly moves out of the way, causing the fireball to explode in the distance.

Maki: “So that's your new attack huh.. No wonder you two didn’t seem to be worn out from that mission.”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRO1rDIIIw
Yuji scratches his head.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ts90gy5el
Yuji: “Yeah, it’s helpful for doing explosive damage from a long distance. And the explosive punches are helpful but damage me as well. So my new priority is basically to shape the flame into some sort of weapon of sorts. Which I’ll admit, I’ve been trying to do in secret.”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbikbwkeco
Maki tilts her head, curious to see this.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkuWh7gmdO
Maki: “Well go on and show me your progress..”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOgTXsW1FW
Yuji nods, he covers one of his hands in flames, and with his other hand he grabs the flames and pulls them. The flames extend and begin the shape vaguely into a blade, he finally pulls it out completely, to his surprise. He holds the blade in his hand, looking at it with awe, and Maki seems impressed.

Yuji (Thoughts): “Whoa, it actually worked this time? What changed?”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi4EL4uyL1
Maki: “I’ll admit that’s pretty interesting, but of course you’ll need to know how to use a sword properly and not just swing it around all willy nilly..”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W3bAuPJo6
Yuji: “You got that right, now that it actually worked this time, I can see what it’s capable of. Alright, ready when you are!”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUTqa3Swyj
Maki smirks, pointing her blade at him.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqnOeYZT33
Maki: “Alright then, but as this team's trainer, I want you to know I won't hold back. I expect you not to either..”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7f1xKniai
Yuji nods, gripping his weapon tightly. Watching from a window Gojo is satisfied with what he’s seeing. Megumi is sitting down in an armchair with his arms crossed and his eyes closed.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQZkCdj2xW
Gojo: “So, Fushiguro.. Fire manipulation is what I’m seeing, but appears he can create explosions and weapons at will.. What’s your take on this..?”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGinSyb5g7
Megumi glances at Gojo.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebQUgxXKSK
Megumi: “About the same thing.. His punches are deadly to opponents and himself due to their explosive aspect. He has managed to delay the explosion to once the opponent lands against a hard surface, but only that one time.. It’s his go-to for close quarters combat.. That fireball of his is useful in weakening opponents from a distance, but he did once use it once the curse got too close and the explosion pushed him back. Now you say he’s forming weapons from the flames, so have yet to know what they are capable of. In conclusion, I’d say these are stemming from his strongest emotion, albeit anger, either that or just the heat of combat.”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVB5b5cmb3
Gojo nods, he faces Megumi.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HyFNB2rbJ
Gojo: “I see, well this is good then.. Having some literal firepower is much better than not. And with enough training from Maki, he’ll likely be able to properly use whatever weapon he decides to form..”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvNBdnghyD
Megumi nods in acknowledgement.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IjlOSCOvn
Gojo: “Just a matter of time for his technique to fully manifest, who knows.. He might even get a domain before you.. He’s growing much faster than anyone I’ve seen, I’d say talent like this hasn't been seen in 1000 years..”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQwLrngMe7
Gojo smiles, Megumi slightly irritated at his mention of Yuji getting a domain before him.

Somewhere in a hidden hot spring..
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuizawgtSRA
Jogo is sitting in the water deep in thought, Mojito is swimming around joyfully enjoying himself. Dagon is swimming around as well. Kenjaku is sitting along the sides, enjoying a glass of juice, while Choso and his brothers engage in conversation also along the sides. Hanami walks up to the group speaking strangely. Jogo gets irritated, yelling.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh9Y6of7H1
Jogo: “Dammit we can't understand you!! Just stop it already!!”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL1zxRPBg6
Hanami lowers their head, and Mahito swims up to Jogo.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ayb7TIFPk
Mojito: “Heyyy, don’t be all rude. They probably have something important to say. Just give it a moment kay?”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnNikX0kmq
Jogo scoffs.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmRqjkN4v6
Jogo: “What's the point in waiting if they can’t speak normally..”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1NkRH3nLf
Kenjaku speaks up calmly.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK86EdVJiSJ
Kenjaku: “Now Jogo, just give them a moment to collect their words..”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N7EQnn4pO
Jogo sighs, turning away. Kenjaku nods at Hanami, allowing them to speak.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrLWyI6VWo
Hanami: “The sorcerers.. They are fighting amongst themselves.. It appears Gojo is their leader..”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpG97ayWN7
Everyone in the vicinity was shocked by the news, Kenjaku the most taken aback of them all.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb3shPuqKN
Kenjaku: “Satoru? He’s betrayed the others? But why? What else do you know about this?”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL4xg2uIYe
Hanami: “I only witnessed him and two others launching an attack on JuJutsu High.. He teleported away while the other two attacked and fought with another sorcerer. Gojo returned a little later, and they took the sorcerer with them. As far as their intentions, I couldn’t make out anything.”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKfMJW1oSs
Kenjaku’s brow furrowed, he nearly crushed his glass. Jogo speaks up.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5nuxmmhaB
Jogo: “But wait a second, why would Gojo betray the sorcerers? What could he be planning?”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyJoPAJlNq
Hanami: “Well one other thing I noticed, when he returned he appeared to have some material from which he took out what appeared to be Sukuna’s finger and he consumed it.”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINpO8rY9Hj
Everyone yelled in complete shock.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQUIpcf7Jb
Mojito: “What the flip flapping f#ck?!”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeqw6nPdRr
Jogo: “There’s no way you’re telling us that Gojo is the vessel for Sukuna!!”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrI4luNOyT
Hanami: “He didn’t appear to be affected by the finger, so from what I understand he had already consumed a finger prior to his attack. So that means he already houses Sukuna..”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnf6UTjxFB
Kenjaku: “Just how the hell did this come to be.. But wait, It makes sense..”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkunYiufOdf
Everyone turns their attention to Kenjaku..
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl6pxjFg7t
Kenjaku: “It could be possible that in a turn of events he and Sukuna could have become allies.. If this so happens to be the case, then it would make sense for Gojo to betray the others. But one thing is for certain, what he took was definitely the schools already collected fingers.. So if he’s consumed them all by now, there isn’t much we would be able to do to take him on even if we wanted to. Gojo’s already latent power with Sukuna’s added onto it, we’re toast if we get in the way of whatever he’s planning..”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRpt7H8aQD
Jogo: “So wait, you’re going back on our plan? But our goal.. We’ve planned this for so long.”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxqQNVPHyy
Mohito: “You have to be crazy if you think I’m going anywhere near that freak. You can follow through with that goal on your own..”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS72tSrFLSI
Kenjaku: “Now hold on, hold on.. Listen we’re not giving up, infact.. I feel a little collaboration is in order..”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0gOwu03V6
Everyone save for Jogo immediately disagrees.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS34T3bzBnR
Kenjaku: “Hold one! Hold on! Hear me out.. Listen, the one we need to be resurrected is allies with the strongest sorcerer in the world, and he’s already building his army. So why not join him? With him as an ally we’ll be unstoppable.. All we need is a meeting with them, so we can establish intentions, and join forces. As long as we don’t get on his bad side, then this plan should be in the bag.”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtlbvTGw3f
Everyone seems hesitant, but they consider this deeply. Jogo speaks up.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86beLdPrTi
Jogo: “Alright, I’m in on this plan..”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65ud00daI4
Mohito: “I still think you all are crazy, it would be better to just stay out of the way.. Tch, but I guess I’ll join in..”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIFpmguRpX
Everyone mostly but reluctantly agrees. Kenjaku sets down his glass, and lets out a sigh.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHse4W5oTEO
Kenjaku: “Okay, good.. Now since he’s after fingers, we’ll have to bring his lackeys to us..” He holds up a finger. “This is the only one we have so we’ll need to be wise about this plan. So once they get here whenever they do, we’ll let them know where to meet, and hand over to finger, no fighting necessary.”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDUDdrCVdX
Everyone nods in agreement, their plan now set.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYIEuLGrKb
Back at Gojo’s secret area..
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWHkBJF1KJ
Gojo was outside along with Megumi watching Yuji continue training with Maki. Yuji relentlessly downslashes at Maki, which she just barely manages to block. Yuji quickly maneuvers to the side, slashing through her side, leaving a large burning gash. She jumps back cursing under her breath, she flings a barrage of kunai at him. Yuji rushes towards her, slashing through the kunai, burning them to ash in his pursuit,
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZS7k0cSpn
Once he reaches her, as fast as he possibly can he slashes her over and over, leaving more burning gashes in Maki’s body.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXaHo68Q9P
Maki: “Yield! I yield! Timeout!”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxaBzySYq6
Yuji stops at the last second, taking a step back. Maki drops to her knees in pain.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ipRsXJEed
Maki: “Damn, you learn fast.. Good work..”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxYdkj640J
Yuji: “Thanks, you’re a pretty good trainer.”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpPs0TtxSS
Yuji’s sword dissipates, and he helps her onto her feet, while Gojo applauds his display. Yuji brings Maki to the bench, sitting her down.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnMeuXPCwy
Gojo: “You did pretty good, it’s astonishing how fast you learn.”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglJmdDaTYD
Yuji: “Thanks, I usually pick up on things pretty quickly, heh.”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF97ocy54c
Gojo: “Indeed, and I’ve got a feeling you’ll need that for your next mission tomorrow. I’m picking up on a finger not too far, so in the morning you and Megumi will go and retrieve it.”
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9Onw2GK3x
Yuji nods, Megumi does as well, both understanding that they have another mission that must be completed.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz0WeVoKHF
