"So, you'll only let me go if I agree to join Japanese Hogwarts with zero policy on bloodshed…" Shika asked with raised eyebrows.
"Bingo and who knows maybe you might just find your Hermione…or Termari who knows…" Gojo smirked, making a ridiculous pose as he showed a victory sign with his two fingers.
"I call it bullshit. There is no reason for you…Ahem, I mean the management to keep me here in the first place. I didn't do shit." Shika spat, not falling for Gojo's trick.
'News by now about Gojo bringing not only Yuta Okkotsu but also another boy to the Jujutsu High would be leaked to the higher management. As long as I remember, those old fossils are no better than what I have been dealing with back in Konoha. It must be keeping tabs on Gojo's movements.
There is no way that they would try to find a reason for Gojo bringing not only Yuta but also me here.
However, the thing about the management keeping me here is that it is utter bullshit. Gojo definitely making that shit. It's all written on his face…' Shika thought and looked at Gojo's face who was smirking seeing him contemplating.
'He's definitely faking it,' Shika can't help but resist to roll his eyes.
But maybe what he said might be not wrong in a certain sense… definitely those higher-ups will target the boy who was brought by Gojo especially when Gojo was on a mission to subjugate a Special Grade Spirit, sooner or later, at least try to find out about him.
If I were a person who gonna stay in this world, then that would indeed be very troublesome, maybe this is Gojo's way to look after his students…Too bad for him,' "I'm ain't staying here." Shika replied with a firm attitude.
"Ohh, you are a stubborn one. Sigh, I like that attitude, this place needs just that little crazy. You'll fit right in."
"Oi, I said I'm not joining." Shika's eyes twitch.
Shika always thought that Kakashi could be annoying at times in his own strange lazy way, but this was…
"Oh, I wasn't expecting you here, at least not this quick…" Gojo paused just as Shika was about to say one more time to make it clear he wasn't interested in free schooling and they both entered into a room where they met a man who was quite old.
White hair and one of the most pointiest moustaches Shika had ever seen. The man definitely looked to be in his late 50s or even in his 60s.
"By the way he is in his early 70s…" Gojo seems to read Shika's mind somehow and says offhandedly.
"What…!" Gojo said and Shika was almost baffled by it. He had to take another look at the man and he really didn't look to be in his 70s.
'Maybe Curse energy, there doesn't exist any other reason why the man looks so young.
But wait a minute…" Shika thought and while looking at the man he felt like he had seen this man before. He tried to recall the plot of JJK but could not pinpoint exactly who this person was. Probably a character with not much screen time for him to remember.
"Hahaha, Six Eyes Brat, it's been a while. How's it been going." Said the old man with a vigorous tone, not sounding like an old man at all.
"What are you doing here ?" Gojo asked, though he still had his usual nonchalant tone but this tone was cold not the joking one he was using before.
The man didn't reply immediately, he shifted his head at Shika, and apparently, that was enough for both to communicate. Shika was completely out of touch with what was going on. He was trying to remember everything he could about any old man he remembered in JJK right now. But the effort wasn't worth it when the man spoke next.
"I'm Naobito Zenin, the clan head of the Zenin clan." Said the old man and only then it clicked in Shika's head.
'It's the old man who fought that water curse in Shibuya. His role was not much but he was damn strong with his projection Sorcery. I remember the technique becuase it was a pain to understand what the man was talking about in the anime, took me a quick YouTube search back then.'
Now things started to click in Shika's mind. Of course, the clan head of the Zenin clan will be here, he had shown Ten Shadow's technique here in the open.
'Sigh, when these 24 hours will end…' Shika can't help but grumble looking at how much unnecessary attention he was getting.
"I'm Shika…Nice to meet ya." Shika for the time being decided to remain neutral. It might be hard to recognize people by just referring to their anime counterparts but now that he knew he could remember that this old man was actually one of the decent guys coming out of that cult of a clan.
"Ah, a polite one. Are you sure this one got zenin blood, yeh Gojo brat…" Naobito chuckled as he glared again at Shika.
"Tsk, how did you know." Gojo wasn't looking like he was in a mood to joke though, he straight away asked what was to both him and Shika.
"Haha, we got our ways. But, I don't believe it. There never have been two inheritors of the Ten Shadows." Naobito looked at Gojo and then back at Shika.
"What are you planning." Asked Gojo, though even Gojo himself hadn't seen Ten Shadow himself in action yet after all Megumi hadn't joined the Jujutsu Tech yet, but the shikigami that Shika used in front of Gojo happened to be Divine Dogs, the very first Shikigami which are given to the user of the Ten Shadow.
Megumi definitely has unlocked his free Shikigami by now, and since technically Gojo was the one who was taking care of Megumi in the Jujutsu world, he should have known it.
Even if he saw the Totality variant of the divine dog, Shika doubted that he wouldn't be able to figure things out with those six eyes of his.
So, there is a possibility that Gojo figured out that Shika had Ten Shadow, which is also not confirmed but it is safe to assume, however, the real question is how Naobito knew?
"I assume Gojo here told you about that curse technique of yours," Naobito asked directly to Shika, putting him in a strange position.
By now he had talked about pretty much everything in this universe with Gojo besides Jujutsu and the curse technique. That man was really good at distracting you…sigh.
"Are you talking about my superpower ?" Shika asked with raised eyebrows. Quickly thinking that he haven't had any formal training in Curse Energy manipulation and all of his knowledge comes from the anime, he decided to play dum here.
Naobito at this just raised his eyebrows and looked at Gojo on the side. Like asking what the hell were you doing all this time. Even if Shika didn't have Ten Shadow and Naobito had nothing to do with him, he found it completely ridiculous seeing in all this time the boy wasn't even aware of the Curse techniques.
As for the superpower he talked about, Naobito knew that every curse user upon unlocking their technique knew about it in their head automatically. It's a given, so it's understandable if the boy knew about the technique and still called it a superpower.
"Haha, yeah that… superpower. How about you show it to me." Asked Naobito as he grinned. Shika of course didn't want to.
Shika looked at Gojo for the time being, seeing his reaction but there was none, he just remained uninterested there, probably he too wanted to see what Shika was capable of.
As for Gojo was concerned, he had no reason to hide Shika's curse techniques even if it was Ten Shadow. Eventually, it will come out anyway and that means that the Zenin clan will be behind him for that bloodline power one way or another.
Shika's mind raced at this, wondering what he should do right now, he could always use any other technique from his Ninjutsu side and call that his Curse Technique but Gojo would know.
Even if he hasn't seen his Divine dog totality, those six eyes of his will easily see no curse energy in fluctuation when he uses Chakra instead of curse energy. Hell, it would be even more troublesome if Gojo's eyes could notice the existence of Chakra.
With him looks like Shikamaru, more like his unborn son but they wouldn't know it yet until Boruto airs on TV and ruins many of our childhoods, but again that is a conversation for another day.
"Why should I show you that old man ?" Shika raised his eyebrows and asked. Seeing if there was a way out.
"Well, you have to one way or other anyway kiddo, everyone who has curse energy has to be registered with the Jujutsu Tech to become a Jujutsu Sorcerer. Otherwise, you'll be labelled as a Curse User and will be hunted down by the Sorcerers." Naobito shrugged but the words were simple.
'I'll get to know it one way or another….'
Which was right, Gojo soon has to ask about his curse technique, and to Shika's dismay that will definitely gonna happen before the longest 24 hours of his life are over.
Sighing, Shika just gave up and decided to reveal his Ten Shadow, what the point of hiding it, he's gonna get out of this world in a few hours anyways. What possibly could go wrong.
However, just as he was about to use his Technique, to summon any of his spirits, a feminine voice broke out, stopping him.
"Don't worry about it, old man. He won't be labeled as a Curse User. He's part of the family…"
