[Author Note]
Disc: HrPrTeam
I just saw a comment about Kashimo being in the top 3.
He is top three...(femboys).
Never in my life have I ever laughed so hard.
__________
Naohiro
Well, I expected this.
Choso had left the compound to search for Yuji.
He stomped out of the compound without even knowing what Yuji looked like, so I had to give him a description.
Choso and the death paintings can sense their brothers if they are on death's edge, so he will be a better tracker than me.
If Yuji even comes close to death, Choso can notify me to assist him in getting him back.
His other brothers are still here, but he is going alone to find his unknown brother.
I will miss the guy since he's pretty fun to hang around.
He is the most enthusiastic about his brothers, so it's funny when he goes on tangents about them while they sweatdrop behind him.
The binding vow requires me to help. However, I can have him call me to fulfill the requirement instead of going on a crusade with him.
On another note, I've gotten pretty close to Shoko.
Ever since we talked things out, she has been much more open, happy, and physical when hanging out with me.
I'm not a dense anime protagonist who doesn't realize what is happening.
The problem is that I'm unsure if I should pursue it with everything going on.
Having people close is a weakness, and Shoko isn't as strong as Naoya.
However, I've reached a point where no one can screw with me.
Even the higher-ups tip-toe around me.
Maybe I could give it a shot.
*Inhale* *Exhale*
Alright, I've made up my mind.
...
A few hours later, it becomes time for training.
Maki ends up joining since she has the most promise aside from Megumi.
With Maki's progress and Naoya's new position as clan head, he doesn't have time to work with someone who is shooting up in ability.
Mai and Ranta only need basic training, which makes things easier for Naoya in their training.
Sitting on the training field, I wait for everyone to arrive.
Maki shows up first, which is somewhat expected, but Potential Man should be here first.
She begins to stretch, to which Potential Man arrives.
He has a horrified look on his face as I send him a glare that he is familiar with.
A while later, Shoko shows up.
I yell. "Potential Man, Maki, get over here!"
They run over with haste to avoid more torture.
I cross my arms. "Potential Man is up first. You will be taming your third Shikigami: Nue."
He looks defeated but doesn't complain. He has learned that arguing with me is a useless effort.
I'm so proud of him.
I raise an eyebrow as he speaks up. "Can I have a shovel?"
A smile appears on my face. "Good Potential Man, head over to the shed and grab one."
With a smile on my face, he grabs a shovel and starts digging.
This might seem odd, but removing Nue's aerial advantage by keeping him in a closed-off space will make taming it a sinch if he can quickly exorcise it.
Nodding, I turn to Maki. "Now, Maki, you will be doing basic physical training. I have something to attend to, so I cannot spar with you today."
Instead of complaining, she nods and starts to swing and practice on the training dummies.
Sitting down on the grass, Shoko joins me.
Smiling, she speaks up. "Originally, I thought you did this because you felt forced, but it seems like you genuinely like teaching."
I shrug. "Maybe I'll be a teacher at Jujutsu High."
She raises an eyebrow. "Didn't think you, of all people, would want to take Yaga's job after seeing what he went through. Imagine if you got students like you and Gojo."
I smile. "I'd make them like Potential Man."
Aka fuck around and find out.
She huffs a laugh and closes her eyes. "Well, even if your methods are interesting, they do show results. At seven, Megumi is way above what he should be. He's already able to take on low-grade two curses."
I lie back. "That's mostly due to his technique since he doesn't have to get up close, but it is still impressive."
Her eyes widen a tad. "You're impressed with him?"
I smirk. "No, I'm impressed with how strong his technique can be in the hands of a seven-year-old."
She smiled. "Why did I even ask?"
...
I rest my hands on the back of my head and stare up. "Hey, would you like to go out with me?"
She blinks. "Go out?"
I smile. "Just the two of us. Going out, talking, and eating."
Her eyes widened. "As in a date?"
I sit up. "Yep, I want to do something, just the two of us."
She pauses for a moment before smiling. "Yeah, I would like that."
I rest my fist on my cheek. "Great, does tonight work?"
She raises an eyebrow. "Does it look like I have anything planned?"
I smirk. "No, just thought I'd ask."
Shoko ponders for a moment. "You have a place in mind?"
I give her a closed-eye smile. "I heard Shibuya has a lot of places that would be nice to visit."
She tilts her head to the side. "Shibuya, huh? That sounds great."
*BOOM*
As we both smile, a small explosion comes from a hole in the field.
Someone's hand comes out of the ground. "*Cough* *Cough* I DID IT!"
A black, spiky-haired kid pokes his head out from the hole with a lot of blood on his face.
Shoko widens her eyes. "Oh shit, hold on!"
She sprints over as Megumi passes out...again.
Four Hours Later
I've never been one to dress up and look nice, so it was strange, but I can't lie that I look pretty damn good.
Thanks, Kenjaku, for the opportunity to use the prison realm.
My clothes were pretty casual: a red shirt with brown pants.
With me wearing training clothes 24/7, I never got to try out different clothes.
I smile. "I don't think I've been truly happy since coming here."
Paranoia has become a part of my personality because of the constant stress, but some things need to be enjoyed.
Even playing chess with Kenjaku stressed me out.
It was chess!
In any case, I plan on having a great time.
...
Since we are both at the Zenin compound, we decided to go together since it was convenient.
I smile as we hold hands and start having small talk.
Making our way to Shibuya, I can't help but think to myself.
Everything will be different.
No Shibuya, and no massacre.
I wanted to go here on purpose to see what it looked like before all the chaos.
While entertaining in the anime, it is horrifying for someone in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen.
My thoughts get broken as we arrive at Shibuya.
The city that turns into a hellhole after Kenjaku seals Gojo. However, right now, it is amazing.
I smile. "I've never been here."
She raises an eyebrow. "First time in a city?"
I smirk. "Not really, but I haven't gone anywhere for enjoyment before."
Shoko turns her head to the side and smiles. "Well, I guess I'll have to show you around then."
Her hand tightens as she starts pulling me around the city.
...
It was an interesting experience, to say the least.
We ran around and stopped at a lot of different shops.
One that was interesting was a clothing store because I didn't have anything formal.
Who needs it?
Shoko puts her arms in an X formation and shakes her head. "No, absolutely not."
I tilt my head to the side. "Does it look bad?"
She puts her hand on her chin. "Not bad, but it doesn't match you."
I raise my eyebrow. "What matches me?"
She smirks. "Anything that you don't pick."
Giving her a deadpan stare, I sigh. "*Sigh* I do try, you know?"
Shoko gives me a closed-eye smile. "I know, that's why I'm here to help."
Most of my picks get vetoed.
I guess I don't have an eye for things like this.
The next place we stopped at was a ramen place.
It was amazing since I hadn't tried any good ramen since coming to this world.
I smile. "This is great. Haven't had ramen like this in forever."
She raises her eyebrow. "If this is good, then what have you been eating your entire life?"
I rest my hand on my chin. "Food is food."
She claps her hands together. "My god, you have been missing out. It's not bad, but definitely not great. Let's go somewhere else. Come on, I know of a fantastic sushi place."
I smile as I get pulled across the street with many people passing by.
Noticing her face, my eyes widened.
I never knew Shoko had this side to her. She never showed much emotion.
She doesn't smoke and is constantly smiling now.
I'm glad.
After a few more hours of stopping at interesting places and experimenting with likes and dislikes, we decided that it was time to head home.
She speaks up. "I can't believe you haven't seen 90% of the stuff we visited."
I rub the back of my head. "It hasn't been on the front of my mind."
Her eyebrow raises. "Training, right?"
I huff a laugh. "Of course, strength is everything. Look at me now."
She turned to me, let go of my hand, and smiled. "You look happy. Thanks for today. I really liked it."
I smirk. "Why are you thanking me? You were the one who dragged me around everywhere."
She returns a smirk. "You liked it, though."
I shrugged, keeping my smirk. "It was alright."
She exhales as she gives a genuine smile. "I needed this. Something that could drag me away from all of the Jujutsu crap."
I pondered for a moment. "It was odd doing something different, but I enjoyed it too."
Suddenly, she leaned forward.
*chu*
Her lips interlocked mine.
I stood there stunned for a moment before she spoke up. "Let's do this again sometime."
This time, I leaned in.
*chu*
After a few seconds, I responded. "I would like that."
...
...
...
We held hands and walked back to the compound.
Sweet

Volume 5 next chapter.
There are now two of those Naohiro x (insert name) stories.
Stop it.
...
Timeskip no Jutsu.
__________
3 Years Later: Yuta Okkotsu
While walking home with her, I remember the words she told me long ago.
...
"When we grow up, let's get married."
....
My face reddened as I remembered our promise.
I like Rika but can't help but be embarrassed about it.
*Skrr*
I turn to the left to see a swerving car.
My eyes widen as I reach out towards Rika. "RIKA, LOOK OUT!"
I closed my eyes as I expected to hear a crash. However, one didn't come.
Opening my eyes, I see a tall, black-haired man holding Rika by the back of her shirt.
Rika looks horrified as the man speaks up. "That was a close one. I'll need to have a word with the driver."
I couldn't help but shakily reply. "T-thanks, mister."
He flopped his head back. "Stop it. That makes me sound like an old man. My name is Naohiro Zenin, and we will get acquainted with one another in the future."
I tilt my head to the side. "What do you mean?"
Rika speaks up. "C-can you let me down?"
He has a look of realization on his face and puts her back down. "Ah, sorry. Anyways, you can see things others can't, right?"
I step back as I nod.
He smiles. "Well, we don't need to talk specifics, but for now, I'll see ya around, kid."
Turning around and walking towards the car that spun out of control, he did a back wave toward me.
Rika blinked. "Who was that?"
I glanced at her. "He said his name was Naohiro Zenin."
*Gulp*
There is something off about him. I've never felt so much of that blue energy in my life.
It felt suffocating.
I shake my head to remove the useless thoughts.
I'm just glad Rika is alright.
Naohiro
Thank goodness that I could pinpoint the time of Rika's 'death.'
It was a pain in the ass trying to find out where and when it would happen.
I could've let her die so the queen of curses could've been born, but giving a kid PTSD by killing his friend leaves a nasty taste in my mouth.
He doesn't need Rika to become one of the strongest future sorcerers, and it's another Gege event that I was able to stop.
I do not know what will happen due to my interference since Geto is already dead and Rika is alive, but it doesn't matter in the long term.
The thing I need to do is find out where Yuji is.
Tengen still has Kenjaku sealed, and Choso hasn't messaged me anything.
Shoko is my girlfriend at this point, which is nice.
I'm happy.
Too bad for Gege since he isn't here to fuck this up.
If he were, I'd catch that cat and strangle him.
Man, if I got a hold of him...
His story has screwed with me throughout my life. It's frustrating since I have to worry about many things going wrong even after all this time.
Now that the Yuta situation is handled, it's time to become a teacher.
I have a knack for training people, so I decided to become a teacher for a job.
I've got to make the bag one way or another.
Shoko and Naoya have already voiced their opinions on the matter, even though she cheated to get her medical license in two years.
I couldn't care less since she is the greatest RCT output user in the entire world.
It's nearing the time of the main events, so I will make sure that even if Sukuna is revived with all twenty fingers, I can make him look like a clown.
If I were as strong as Gojo a few years back, I'd definitely be at or above the peak of Jujutsu sorcery.
Gojo is much stronger than his previous counterpart, so Sukuna will be the third strongest.
The strongest sorcerer in history vs. the strongest sorcerer of the Heian era.
Hmm, has a nice ring to it.
Anyways, it's time to get to work...literally.
...
5 Years Later
"...With this treasure, I summon [Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga]."
A behemoth appears behind a 14-year-old kid.
The kid speaks up. "Go, [Totality]!"
A large wolf materializes "*Growl*"
Suddenly, the wolf jumps towards Mahoraga.
*BAM*
Totality gets slammed back with one punch.
Normally, one of the divine dogs would need to die for Totality to be formed, but Megumi figured out (was told) how to fuse the Shikigami together.
Megumi's eyes widen as Mahoraga speed blitzes him.
*BAM*
He gets hit in the face, which sends him flying into a wall.
*Boom*
However, unlike the previous Megumi, he stood up with blood on his face.
Something that could be noticed was that the gashes across his face and head were visually healing.
Reverse cursed technique.
Megumi couldn't use reverse cursed technique on his own, but he recently learned how to use Round Deer's traits for reverse cursed technique without materializing the Shikigami.
He narrowed his eyes and brought out his first trump card. "[Tiger Funeral: Totality - Merged Beast Korōri]!"
The face of a tiger and the body of a wolf, Korōri, is the greatest offense that Megumi has learned thus far.
Mahoraga jumps at Korōri, but it combines the speed and attack power of both Shikigami to create a monster that would be a nightmare for all but the highest of jujutsu.
They meet in the air, and their hands lock as Korōri gets slowly pushed back.
Korōri roars in the face of the Divine General. "*ROAR*!"
*Squelsh*
It bites down on Mahoraga's shoulder.
*CLANK*
Mahoraga had to adapt to Megumi.
Suddenly, Mahoraga pushes Korōri off him, taking a chunk of his shoulder.
It quickly heals as Mahoraga swings the Sword of Extermination to cut the Shikigami in two.
However, the sword passes through the liquid shadow like butter.
Turning back to Megumi, Mahoraga starts shooting towards Megumi.
He brings his hands together and uses his second trump card. "[Domain Expansion: Chimera Shadow Garden]."
While incomplete, a domain expansion amplifies the user's abilities, allowing him to avoid Mahoraga's punch.
Toads grab onto Mahoraga's legs to slow it down.
Totality forms from behind Mahoraga, aiming to pierce and exorcise it, however...
*CLANK*
Mahoraga spun around and slashed the domain-created Totality in two as his domain's sure-hit properties became useless.
The domain dissipates as Mahoraga swings at Megumi
*BAM*
The Divine General punches Megumi across the side of his head.
...
He lost.
...
An older voice speaks up. "Not bad, Potential Man."
Megumi was revealed to be unconscious and bloody due to a cursed energy drain and the strike from Mahoraga.
He was in a state of suspended animation or pseudo-death.
Mahoraga turned to the black-haired adult and took a step backward.
The man, or Naohiro, gave the behemoth a closed-eye smile and cracked his knuckles. "Been a little while, huh?"
Five Seconds Later
Naohiro flopped his head back. "Man, I wish I could keep farming Mahoraga wheels. They are so cool. Imagine the flex of carrying around fifty of those things."
While he stretched, another person was sweating while keeping Megumi from dying by healing his head trauma.
She had a tick mark on your head. "Give me some more time before the ritual ends, or he will die!"
He smirked and rubbed the back of his head. "It's not supposed to be a reward. He was ten minutes late to training."
She sighed. "*Sigh* You are so petty."
He shamelessly smiled. "I know, but that's why you like me."
Shoko raised an eyebrow but shook her head and smiled.
Naohiro widened his eyes as he remembered something. "I need to take care of something."
*chu*
He ran over to her and gave her a kiss on the cheek before making his way out of the compound.
Naohiro
Train, teach, hang out with Shoko, repeat.
Teaching has been pretty mundane at this point.
I'm currently teaching Maki, Panda, and Inumaki, but another will join.
Yuta Okkotsu.
I've contacted him, and he will make his way here.
I taught Kinji Hakari last year. The gambling femboy enjoyer himself.
He was a handful, even for me.
However, he learned really quickly that you shouldn't mess with me.
Let's just say that he was thankful that he became Gojo's student in his second year.
Megumi will be joining next year, and I will make sure that Meguna does not happen.
All of Megumi's Shikigami are tamed outside of Mahoraga.
Of course, he couldn't have Mahoraga at this point.
He is only fourteen years old.
Had Maki not been here, he wouldn't be nearly as strong.
Come to figure out that she can jump into his rituals to help him.
The heavenly restriction breaks fate, which is perfect for when we need to tame Mahoraga.
Both of them still can't beat it together, but they are on their way to reaching his level.
The world didn't think about the loophole to taming the shadows.
As much as I clown and torture him, Megumi is fourteen and has nine of his shadows tamed.
Undoubtedly, he is already way stronger than his previous counterpart.
He will not become fraudulent as long as I'm alive.
The Mahoraga merchant is no more.
I've ensured that he will be in a world of pain if he even thinks about summoning him.
He can only summon him for his punishments or serious taming attempts, mostly resulting in an unconscious beatdown.
It was cool to learn that Mahoraga remembers me.
The thing stepped away from me.
Mahoraga was scared of me.
My thoughts get broken as a certain white and black animal speaks up. "Naohiro-sensei, what are we going to be doing today?"
I smile. "It turns out that we have another student joining our class."
Maki looks uninterested, while Inumaki nods. "Fish flakes."
I smirked as I sensed someone outside of the door.
*Slide*
Walking into the room, everyone's eyes widen as they sense his raw amount of cursed energy.
Maki smiles while Inumaki and Panda start sweating.
The kid in question speaks up. "Nice to meet you; I'm Yuta Okkotsu."
...
I only smile. "Welcome to Jujutsu High."
Rika didn't get isekai'd this time.
