Chapter 8: Battle In The Star Tomb Part 1
Tengen's Domain
Naruto was with Mai, Maki, Yuki and Choso waiting for Kenjaku to appear. Yuki was going over a plan which Naruto ignored because he had a feeling that no matter what they planned the ancient sorcerer would have a counter for it so he might as well wing it.
Naruto looked at Mai and Maki with a proud expression on his face, something they noticed and had small blushes. The twins had become strong in their own unique ways.
Mai had come a long way in using her curse technique, Construction. Before her low curse energy output held her back, but now with her connection to Maki and the training and curse item she helped make, she was no longer just a grade 3 sorcerer; she would one day be classed as special grade.
Maki had also grown; she was a superhuman if there ever was one, she had a body of steel, she was strong, fast and durable along with her advanced senses and curse tools (several weapons and items Naruto and Mai made for her) made the former Zenin a beast in battle.
There were times Maki was arrogant because of how much she had improved, so Naruto challenged her to a duel. He won but was injured, making him even more impressed.
Naruto is a special-grade sorcerer from the beginning and ever since he fought Sukuna, he has been training nonstop in order to defeat the king of curses. Needless to say, he was stronger than ever, and Maki still managed to harm him.
"Hey blonde, are you even listening to me?" Yuki yelled in Naruto's face as it would seem the Uzumaki was lost in thought.
"Honestly, I wasn't." Naruto replied as he came out of his thoughts. "I think we should just wing it and if the worst case happens, we should just exorcise Tengen so Kenjaku doesn't get his hands on her."
Tengen was a woman who was a surprise to find out from the ancient immortal sorcerer herself. It made sense now why every star plasma vessel is female.
"What are you crazy? We can't Exorcize Tengen. That would cause all the barriers in Japan that she puts up to vanish, and all hell will break loose. Curse spirits will grow in strength, and sorcerers will get weaker." Yuki exclaimed as she didn't mind the idea of Exorcizing Tengen but the consequences would be too great.
"That might be true, but if Kenjaku gets his hands on Tengen, all hell will break her loose anyway." Naruto said as he didn't see the problem in killing Tengen if she was going to fall into Kenjaku's hands, it would be a mercy and save more lives than it would cause the death of.
Yuki looked like she was going to argue with Naruto, but she stopped herself. The Uzumaki was right in the sense that Kenjaku might cause more deaths than if the barriers Tengen set up all over Japan disappear.
"Look, it's a last resort if for some reason we lose to Kenjaku but I plan on winning." Naruto said with a grin.
"Whatever," Yuki said with a pout. She was annoyed that her fellow special grade sorcerer didn't agree to make a plan just in case. "I still think we should make a plan."
Naruto shifted his attention to Mai, who was listening in on their conversation with Yuki.
"Did you manage to complete it, Mai?" Naruto asked as he and his wife had been working on a secret project together. It was something they hoped would work on Sukuna.
Mai gave Naruto a mischievous grin, and he got his answer: if things lined up as he hoped they would, Sukuna and Kenjaku wouldn't know what hit them.
"Maki, have you finished learning the techniques I thought you?" Naruto asked his second wife.
"Who do you think I am? Of course, I mastered the technique." Maki said with a confident smirk that faded as she saw Naruto's eyes, the blonde had a sadistic side to him where he would bully her something especially when she was getting a big head.
"That's good because you are going to be our tank when Kenjaku gets here," Naruto said as he knew that Maki would be the best choice to face the body snatcher in hand-to-hand combat.
"Hey, I thought you said we don't need a plan." Yuki exclaimed as she was listening in on them.
"We don't need a plan that would limit our movement and make us easy to predict. What I am doing is assigning simple roles, but even then in the heat of battle, everyone should do what they feel is the best move at the time." Naruto explained as he turned to Mai. "You will be our long-range support."
"I will use my Shikigami to destroy Kenjaku's curse spirits while Yuki and Choso will deal with anything that we can't predict, like if Kenjaku has some moves we don't know about. You are to come up with a way around it or if he brings allies with him." Naruto said as he knew many things could go wrong in a battle but he was confident they could defeat the ancient sorcerer.
As she waited, Yuki had a question for the blonde-haired Shikigami user.
"What do you think about the status quo of the world today," Yuki asked, Naruto looked at her in confusion "what I mean is the situation with curses being born from non-sorcerers which result in us jujutsu sorcerer having to put our lives at risk to exorcise them."
"I never really thought about it to be honest," Naruto replied as he didn't know where Yuki was going with all this.
"Well I have and I come to the conclusion that there is only two ways to fix this problem: one is making all non-sorcerers in the world be able to use jujutsu, or two eliminating all non-sorcerers because curses are usually born from regular people who can control their curse energy." Yuki said her face was serious unlike how it usually had a humorous expression.
Yuki's words shocked everyone there, except Tengen, who probably knew all this already. It would be near impossible to train all humans on Earth to use jujutsu, but it would be easily possible to kill all non-sorcerers. So here is where the problem lies: Yuki was not so suddenly suggesting the genocide of all non-sorcerers.
"Neither of those plans will ever work," Naruto said with a calm voice. "Because not everyone in the world can learn jujutsu, and I am not going to let anyone jutsu kill off the majority of the human race."
"Hahaha, I guess you're right. It was just a thought I had." Yuki said as she walked back to talk to Tengen.
Naruto looked at Yuki carefully as if seeing her for the first time and he came to the conclusion that there is a strong possibility they will be enemies in the future.
Mai and Maki saw their husband's expression toward Yuki, understanding that they needed to keep a close eye on her. Choso also knew that the blonde woman might be an ally now but she was dangerous.
Naruto's mind went to Megumi and Yuji, who are going to recruit a suspended third-year student called Kinji Hakari as an ally.
While Yuta is going to try to get as many points as possible to add some rules in the Culling games to tip it in their favor while saving as much innocent people as possible.
One of the main goals is to free Gojo using Tengen's "back door", in order to do so they will need the help of someone who can negate curse techniques.
Naruto knew that killing Kenjaku might not stop the Culling games, but at least it would get rid of a headache.
Then there is the real possibility that Sukuna will be revived. The King of Curses is powerful, to say the least. However, hopefully the project he has been working on with Mai would be able to put Sukuna to rest permanently.
This rest of the time was spent in silence until the guest of honor arrived and he made a grand entrance using his curse manipulation.
"Oh, it's you. I am no longer interested in you so die." Kenjaku said as he entered Tengen's barrier.
Kenjaku was looking at Choso with disinterest and focused most of his attention on Maki, who stood beside the blood manipulation curse user, Mai was further away. Tengen's barrier hid her from view; she was waiting for her chance to use a sniper rifle she made with her cursed technique.
Usually Mai would not be able to make curse tools with her curse technique, Construction but with the help of Naruto's King piece that boosts her ability and a basic understanding of how a curse tool works she can make almost anything or potentially.
The sniper she created has a special ability: it always penetrates through any defense or barrier, and the bullets are special. When they enter the body of a jujutsu sorcerer, they disrupt their use of curse energy.
Mai originally wanted to create bullets that could negate curse energy completely, but that was beyond her for now.
Mai remembered, the first time she used curse energy to disrupt bullets and snipers on Naruto in a sparring match. The blonde was so shocked that he couldn't control his curse energy at first that he almost lost.
Queen stepped in and removed the bullet from the blonde who used a reverse curse to heal. The cursed corpse proceeded to hand Mai her own ass.
Naruto was with Yuki and Tengen, observing the battle. The Uzumaki was slightly annoyed when Tengen separated him from them but he didn't immediately reenter the battle with his wives and Choso because he was interested to see their growth against an opponent that wasn't him.
