章節 11: Chapter 3: Part 3
- Silas -
first we went outside to awaken his cursed energy.
We used the same method as in my case.
Naruto looked at the sword in his hand excitedly. "Are we going to fight some bad guys or save some princesses? Ohh are we going to fight some monsters?"
The kid jumped around.
"Nope. We first need to learn how to do that. I mean you want to learn cool techniques first, right?" Gojo-san baited.
Poor Naurto nodded his head in excitement.
"Alright. Then first things first. There is a dangerous curse in the sword. First thing we need to do is identify it. Take it in your hand, sit cross legged and concentrate on it."
He was instructed to basically follow the same steps as me and what resulted at the end of it was a massive surge of Cursed Energy from his body.
The energy was so great that I staggered a few steps back while Nanami-sensei was almost blown away till Gojo-san held his shoulder.
A spectre of an animal appeared around him and slowly took the form of tails as a reddish energy enveloped him. The tails began to rise from one to two and further, the form over a Nine Tailed Fox enveloped the boy.
The energy was immense and I had to shield my face to keep looking forward.
"Gojo, this is too much. I don't think the barrier will be able to hold much longer if this continues." Nanami-sensei shouted.
"Hold on. It's not yet done." he then looked towards me. "Cover yourself in your Cursed Energy to resist it."
I did so and sure enough the whole pressure disappeared.
By now the area around us was crumbling down.
The number of tails had reached eight.
Finally, just as the ninth tail was about to emerge, all of a sudden, golden chains burst out of his back and bound the beast suddenly.
"It's those damned chains again. Are you going to keep me chained even after your death… Kushina." A demonic sounding voice sounded but another burst of golden light sparked from the other side, completely suppressing it.
What was left were two figures, one with red hair and the other a golden blonde.
"Those are…" I asked, stunned.
"Vengeful Cursed Spirits." Gojo-san replied. "They were inside Naruto. Sensing their energies, and their similarities to Naruto, I would say that those were probably his parents. Remember Silas-kun, the most potent of the curses are always born out of love. Without love, there will be no hate. Those two were protecting him even now, even after their deaths."
I looked at the two figures. They looked like monsters.
But even now, they were protecting him.
The scene made me feel extremely emotional.
The entire area calmed down in a while and what was left were only rubbles.
In the middle, Naruto was still sitting down, tears in his eyes but unharmed. The sword in his hand had crumbled.
The kid looked at us and I felt the urge to protect him suddenly. He looked so vulnerable.
I was about to walk forward but Gojo-san held my shoulder and stopped me.
"Don't be hasty. The two spirits might not like it if you went ahead so quickly."
And as if to demonstrate, he walked forward but to our surprise, the blonde spirit disappeared from his place, appearing in front of him, slicing down with its sword-like claw.
Gojo-san lifted a finger and stopped it but the shockwave sent the debris flying around.
"Calm down. I don't mean to harm him." Gojo-san said as he moved to the side to avoid another attack.
The place he was in was struck by a golden chain, making a small crater in the place.
Gojo-san disappeared from his place and appeared in a different place. To everyone's surprise though, a chain emerged from under the ground, attacking him.
He dodged to the side but the chain grazed him, creating a scratch on his leg.
"That's…" Nanami-sensei exclaimed.
"Hoh, now isn't that interesting? But let's not fight right now. My student needs me. We can fight each other later on." Gojo-san disappeared from his place and appeared in front of Naruto.
The two Spirits attacked him but paused when they saw Naruto in his arms, hugging him.
"There there, no need to cry. They are just being protective of you." He ruffled the kid's hair gently and then looked at the spirits. "I don't mean him any harm, so you can relax." He raised his hand as if in surrender. The spirits didn't disappear however.
At this time, Naruto chimed in too. "Gojo-sensei is my teacher. He's not hurting me."
This finally caused the spirits to stop and finally disappear and Naruto fainted.
"Jeez, talk about overprotective parents." Gojo-san laughed and he walked towards us.
I quickly opened the door to the Restaurant and led them in.
We let Naruto rest on one of the couches as Shoko-san was called to look over him.
"Seriously, what kind of training were you two doing? It hasn't even been fifteen minutes yet." She chided.
"There were… complications."
"With an eight year old?" She asked.
Gojo-sensei just pointed to his already healed leg. There was still a scratch on his clothes.
Shoko-san paused completely at the sight.
"What happened?"
"An extremely strong Cursed Spirit, even making Sukuna look like a kid in terms of his Cursed Energy and…"
"And?"
"Two Vengeful Cursed Spirits protecting him."
"Two?" She asked, incredulously.
"Two." Nanami-sensei nodded. "Seriously, this is way above my pay grade." he looked at me. "Let's teach you some theories about Jujutsu."
I nodded. The incidents of today didn't leave me wanting to practise anymore.
Miu had come later on with Hayato-sana and took Naruto away. Gojo-san informed him about the case with Naruto.
I too cleaned up after my lessons and retired for the day.
___________________________________x__________________________________
I woke up and prepared for the day.
Around an hour later, Sakura came downstairs with Shoko-san.
"She is fully healed now. All those worms were removed from her body. But I still suggest not letting her go back to those monsters. I will send Satoru to have a talk with them first. Till then make sure that she doesn't leave this Restaurant. Just in case, Nanami can stay here till then."
"It's fine. As long as we are in this place, I can take care of any kind of trouble."
She looked at me for a moment then nodded. "I hope you understand the meaning of your words because if she falls into the hands of those monsters again, I don't think she would survive. I will come back later on to check up on her." She began to leave and that's when I realised that she hadn't eaten anything since yesterday.
"Wait a minute. Let me cook something for you as a token of thanks."
She waved her hands. "It's fine. You are also a student of the Tokyo Jujutsu Academy and someone who helped us a lot. This is nothing compared to that."
"Please. It won't take much time and I won't brag but I am a pretty decent cook. Let me treat you once."
She shrugged her shoulders. "Alright."
I got to work quickly and prepared a feast for her.
While I was doing so, Sakura walked into the kitchen.
I looked at her and she stared back without saying anything. I noticed that her eyes were not as blank as before. She suddenly bowed deeply in front of me.
"Thank you." She said, her voice choking a bit. She didn't say anything but didn't raise her head either.
Last night, they had told me exactly how much she had suffered and what she could have gone through.
It explained the look in her eyes.
So I wanted to help her even if it was just a bit.
"I told you, didn't I, that we're friends and friends are supposed to help each other. You don't need to worry. You can stay here as long as you like. If you want, I can talk to Hayato-san and get you admitted to a school in a different world with new identities. You don't have to go back to that place ever again." I placed a hand on her head and caressed her.
She looked at me with teary eyes and tried to speak but choked so she just nodded.
I smiled and gave her a half hug and patted her back.
"You know, as great it is to see you two flirting, can you work on my breakfast faster? I still have to go back to school for work." Shoko-san's words brought us out of the moment and I smiled abashed at her.
"I will get it done in a moment." I replied before turning to Sakura. "You should wait with her. I will make something for you too."
She nodded and followed Shoko-san.
I quickly prepared the meals and served them.
"I heard that you were going to admit her in a school with the Martial Arts girl?" Shoko-san asked.
"If she agrees to."
"You are an official adult and have taken responsibility for her. That makes you her guardian so I'm asking you."
"I think it would be a good change of pace for her to experience a normal school life." I replied.
"Then your thinking is naive." She scoffed lightly.
I looked at her astonished.
"Don't misunderstand me. I never said it was bad, just naive. Someone who has gone through things Sakura has gone through rarely if ever gets to have a normal life. First things first, you should teach her how to protect herself." Shoko-san said as she took a bite of the food. "Oh, this is good. You weren't bragging about being a good cook."
"I won't force her with anything."
"Then decide it between yourself. I would suggest that she learn Jujutsu. With her situation, I doubt she wouldn't have some manner of affinity for Jujutsu sorcery."
I contemplated for a second and looked at Sakura. "What do you want, Sakura?"
She bowed her head slightly and then looked at me. "I will do whatever you want me to do." She said, resolve shining in her eyes.
"This is your life Sakura."
"And you have saved it and are still helping me. I trust your judgement."
I took a deep breath. "Okay then. Let's learn Jujutsu together. I'll talk to Principal Masamichi and ask him for a favour."
"Don't worry. I'll take care of it." Shoko-san said between a bite of her food. "She can start her training when she's fully stabilised from the shock."
"Okay."
The rest of the breakfast was mostly uneventful as Shoko-san left soon after eating, leaving the two of us alone in the Restaurant.
I had the whole day left so I started preparing for the day and Sakura followed me. She sometimes lent a hand despite me asking for her to rest.
At least she was more active than before so I didn't say anything.
