Chapter 129: Undercurrents Surging.
The next day.
"What do you mean? An unregistered Special Grade Cursed Spirit attacked Tatsuro and the others?"
In the principal's office, Masamichi Yaga had a splitting headache. He had been notified by Gojo Satoru early in the morning that a new Special Grade Cursed Spirit had appeared, and Tatsuro was currently lying unconscious in the hospital.
"I don't know."
Gojo Satoru, sitting on the sofa, looked at the photo sent by Zenin Maki. In it, Tatsuro's eyes were covered with a white cloth, and he was lying on a large hospital bed.
Below it was a message from Maki.
[According to the doctor's examination, Tatsuro's eyes are damaged, and his vision has declined.]
[But his body is largely fine. He should wake up soon.]
He then turned off the screen and placed his phone on the table. Gojo Satoru looked up at the wooden ceiling boards and said, "There's no data, we don't know its cursed technique, and it even escaped from Tatsuro. I feel like something bad is about to happen."
"A Special Grade..."
Masamichi Yaga was also in a difficult position at this moment. The school could no longer spare anyone to investigate this suddenly appeared Special Grade. After all, sending someone whose own strength was too weak would be no different from sending them to their death.
A Special Grade that could escape from Tatsuro...
He still remembered the battle on December 24th of last year. The school had been left a scene of devastation. The cursed energy residue left on the ground was enough to show how terrifying the battle had been. A Special Grade that even he couldn't stop...
"Forget it. Let's discuss this issue after Tatsuro wakes up. What's the word on Sukuna's vessel, Yuji Itadori?"
"Him?"
Gojo Satoru said with a broad smile, "He agreed. I really didn't expect it. He clearly knows he's going to die, but he still chose to eat all of Sukuna's fingers."
"Another troublesome student just like Yuta."
Masamichi Yaga stood up to leave and said, "Anyway, it's not my problem. I'm going to eat."
Watching Yaga leave, Gojo Satoru also got up and left, saying, "Teaching students, teaching students. I'll let that kid Tatsuro worry about that Special Grade Cursed Spirit; I can't make heads or tails of it either. Anyway, with his personality, he'll definitely hunt that cursed spirit down in the future."
...
"Mahito, has your body shrunk by half...?"
At a beach, Suguru Geto looked down at Mahito, whose form was half its original size, and asked in confusion.
"Can't be helped."
Mahito, now in the form of a child, said with a speechless expression, "I got caught by Tatsuro."
Jogo looked at the shrunken Mahito and laughed heartily, revealing his black teeth, "Hahaha! This is killing me! How did you end up like this? A little child."
"What are you laughing at? It would be the same if you went back."
Mahito pouted and replied, "That Tatsuro asked me to pass on a message. He said when you go back, he's going to shave off that Mount Fuji on your head. Honestly, I really can't imagine what that would look like."
"..."
"That brat!"
Jogo's volcano head erupted, and the nearby temperature rose rapidly. Mahito, knowing he had taken the joke too far, said "Oops" and hid behind Suguru Geto.
"I'm going to slaughter him!"
"Don't get agitated, Jogo."
Suguru Geto comforted him, "He is still very useful to us, and there's no benefit to us if we push him too far. In a one-on-one fight, you two would be at most a 6-4 split. You six, he four."
"Yeah, even I wouldn't dare to fight him one-on-one," Mahito said. "His cursed technique is too much of a counter to us. Going alone, it's inevitable that things would go wrong. After all, that's an attack that targets the soul."
Suguru Geto: "To deal with him, it's still best to use negotiation and threats. After all, he's a madman."
"Tch, even if you say so, I'll still slaughter him."
Jogo said with disdain. He was different from that trash Mahito. The next time they met, one 'Domain Expansion' would teach him a lesson, beat him until he knelt and begged for mercy, then he'd let him go.
"Alright, then be careful."
Suguru Geto didn't try to dissuade him further. He could just secretly follow along when the time came. After all, he couldn't afford to lose either of these two chess pieces. Tatsuro still had great use.
"What happened to you, Mahito?"
A rather feminine voice came through. Hanami, with their left arm wrapped in white cloth, looked at the shrunken Mahito.
"It's nothing. I was just defeated by someone," Mahito said, rubbing his head.
"As long as you're okay."
Hanami looked at Geto and asked, "Is there anything else to be done next? Eliminate humans, or?"
"What's next..."
Suguru Geto took out one of Ryomen Sukuna's fingers from his pocket and said, "Naturally, it's to make him eat the fingers. Someone in the jujutsu higher-ups will definitely want to kill him. They'll push him into an impossible mission. We just need to wait for Gojo Satoru to leave."
...
Two days later.
Tatsuro, lying in the hospital, slowly sat up, muttering, "Tsk, sleeping gave me a bit of a headache."
Smelling the medicinal scent that filled the air, Tatsuro knew he was in a hospital. He removed the gauze covering his eyes. When he opened them again to observe the world, he could find that his vision was much blurrier.
"Next time, I'd better not use 'Mirror World' and 'Mirror Shatter.' I feel like even opening Susanoo isn't so taxing on the eyes. If I keep using them like this, my eyes will go blind sooner or later. When that time comes, I'll have to try plucking my eyeballs out."
Just as he finished complaining, he saw an old man beside him, looking bewildered. He was currently looking at Tatsuro as if he were a mental patient.
"..."
"Sorry, I can only make you lose your memory."
As Tatsuro spoke, the three tomoe in his eyes converged, and he directly tampered with the old man's memory, then made him fall unconscious.
After doing all this, Tatsuro stretched and said, "Time to check out and go back. I'm so tired. Let's see my panel and points."
[Host: Tatsuro]
[Cursed Energy: 3750, Semi-First Grade Sorcerer]
[Stamina: 31]
[Dojutsu: Mangekyo Sharingan. Left 'Mirror World', Right 'Mirror Shatter'.]
[Ninjutsu: Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation, Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, Summoning Technique, Substitution Technique, Rasengan, Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall, Lightning Release: Lightning Tiger Annihilation, Fang Passing Fang.]
[Taijutsu: Self-Defense Arts, Military Fist, Sanda, Jeet Kune Do, Two Months' Sky Sword Style, Painful Sky Leg, Konoha Strong Whirlwind.]
[—Eternal Evolution—]
"Already a semi-first grade sorcerer?"
Tatsuro glanced at it, then clicked into the ninjutsu store to check his current points.
[125 points.]
"..."
"Should I draw for ninjutsu before I leave?"
Looking at the splendidly colorful great roulette on the system panel, Tatsuro ultimately resisted the temptation and didn't click on it.
125 points was definitely enough to draw an S-rank ninjutsu. But he had to have a goal. He'd gather the points for the Eternal Mangekyo first.
He could still distinguish which was stronger between a few S-rank ninjutsu and piloting a Gundam in the future. Besides, these ninjutsu were more or less enough for now.
"Sigh, I should just check out of the hospital."
Tatsuro stood up to leave, went through the discharge procedures, got back his clothes and phone that were stored at the hospital, and left directly.
Seeing his phone still had power, Tatsuro dialed Kento Nanami's number.
