Jujutsu High. The Morgue.
"That was close."
Nobara Kugisaki walked in, still shaken by Zetsu's resurrection.
"Between spiritual death and physical death... I choose physical."
Suddenly, an arm pulled her into the room.
"Hedgehog?"
"Pink Gorilla?"
Nobara blinked.
Yuji Itadori was sitting on the autopsy table, naked, grinning.
Megumi Fushiguro and Gojo Satoru stood beside him.
"WHAT?!" Nobara screamed. "You're alive?! Even Pink Gorillas play with resurrection?!"
She poked Yuji. He was real.
"Shoko? Ijichi?" She looked at the adults. They nodded.
"We brought you here because..." Gojo lowered his voice.
He explained the plan. The Higher-ups wanted Yuji dead. To protect him, he had to stay dead until the time was right.
"It is necessary," Gojo said solemnly.
Nobara sighed. "Fine. But you owe me big time."
...
Dusk.
Official Notification:
Mission Log: Eishu Juvenile Detention Center.
Result: Top-tier Vengeful Spirit Encountered.
Casualty: Itadori Yuji (Student). Confirmed Dead.
As for White Zetsu... the Higher-ups ignored his survival. It was too complicated to explain how a Cursed Spirit survived getting ripped in half.
...
The Next Day. 9 AM.
Megumi and Nobara sat on the training ground steps, silent.
They knew Yuji was alive. But they had to act sad.
"Megumi. You look grumpier than usual."
A girl with a ponytail and glasses walked up, carrying a polearm.
Maki Zenin.
"Zenin-senpai?" Megumi looked up.
"Don't call me by that name," Maki scowled.
"Maki! Maki!"
A Panda and a boy with snake-eyes markings (Toge Inumaki) hid behind a tree.
"Don't you know? A first-year died yesterday!"
"Bonito Flakes," Inumaki warned.
Maki froze. "Who died?"
"Who are they?" Nobara asked.
"Second-years," Megumi introduced. "Maki Zenin (Cursed Tools). Toge Inumaki (Cursed Speech). Panda (Panda)."
"There's one more, Yuta Okkotsu, but he's overseas."
"Sorry," Panda apologized. "We didn't know about your loss."
"We're here to invite you to the Kyoto Sister School Exchange Event."
"We'll do it," Nobara said instantly. "We need to get stronger."
"By the way," Panda asked. "Where is White Zetsu?"
"Probably sleeping," Maki scoffed. "That Grade 4 spirit has no ambition."
"OH!" Nobara's eyes widened. "So you're the Mama's Boy's Niece!"
Silence.
Maki's vein popped.
"Mama's Boy? Niece?!"
Zetsu calls himself Grandpa. I'm a Zenin. So I'm his niece?!
"Hey, Freshman," Maki cracked her knuckles. "Since you're joining... you won't mind some intensive training, right?"
"Bring it on!" Nobara stood up. "The harder the better! I never want to be saved by that idiot again!"
Megumi stood up too. "Me neither."
...
The Secret Training Room.
Yuji sat in a room full of DVDs and plushies.
"Gojo-sensei! I know this!" Yuji raised his hand. "Zetsu-sensei taught me this! Watching movies to control Cursed Energy!"
Gojo smiled. "He did, huh?"
"But you need to master it. I'll be your partner for the next month."
"Make me stronger," Yuji said, clenching his fists. "Make me invincible. So I can save people."
Gojo patted his head. "Good attitude."
...
Faculty Cabin. 2 PM.
White Zetsu yawned, walking into the living room with messy hair.
"How's the training going?" Mirai asked from the sofa.
"At most Two," Zetsu held up two fingers. "And one has to be stronger than the other. My brain feels like it's going to explode."
"Two is enough," Mirai noted in his journal. "You can participate in the Exchange Event too."
"With two bodies."
