Hanami

Gojos eyes were wide as he stared at the black veil, that kid's technique bypassed his infinity. And even though it had only been for less than a second the kid had made Gojo let go of him.

Gojo remembered reading through the history books, a couple Uchihas seemingly had the ability to put people under some sort of illusion but Satoru had believed either his immense cursed energy would block any attempt or that his infinity wouldn't let any attempt pass.

He was wrong.

He clenched his fist and in a sudden release of emotion punched the veil in front of him with an extreme amount of strength.

The resonating clash of his fist meeting the veil caused a large shockwave that destroyed the road underneath him.

He ignored the stinging pain in his fist from the veil and thought back to the issue at hand. His students were in danger, his grin suddenly made its way back to his face.

And he would save them.

Fukashi went flying towards the forest, that was where he saw Maki last and she was his main priority at this time. He dashed along the tree branches with ease as his sharingan observed the surrounding location for clues.

He felt his frustration only grow, today hasn't been a good day. Told he couldn't compete in this stupid competition, then having to hear that disgusting woman speak of his brother!

His own brother, how dare she! He felt push his feet harder against the branches he was running across. He had to drop back to the floor when he came across an extremely shallow river.

His feet splashed in the clear water as his mind was still focused on that damn sorcerer. He snarled 'She'll know what it's like' he reassured himself.

He can't wait to mock her, he can't wait to laugh at her own pitiful protection of her younger brother.

His spiralling thoughts were interrupted as he finally came to the sight of Maki, Megumi and a large cursed spirit.

It must have been at least 9 feet tall, it was a pale white with muscles that were bulging with small tree branches coming from its eye sockets. It had one of its arms in an odd sling bandage.

Megumi was on his knees, he looked to be in pain as he held his stomach. Maki was currently swinging a red cursed weapon at the creature.

That quickly proved ineffective as Hanami, the cursed spirit dodged with minimal effort before slapping the green haired girl, her glasses were knocked off her face as she was sent rolling across the ground.

Before she stopped rolling the cursed spirit grabbed her by the neck with a branch of wood.

Said branch moved like water as it wrapped around Makis neck and brought her face to face with the curse.

Fukashi watched Makis eyes bulge as the wood only tightened around her neck, her hands seemed to grasp at the branch choking her.

In less time than it took Maki to blink she was free from the now destroyed branch. She dropped to the floor and looked up only to see the back of Fukashi staring up at Hanami.

Casually he pulled the school uniform's hoodie off, he was wearing the black joggers the school provided him and a plain white slightly oversized T-shirt.

His T-shirt blew up slightly revealing the scars all over his back. She swallowed, as great as it was that he was here he was still injured.

His hand was outstretched towards the cursed spirit as if in challenge.

A challenge the cursed spirit seemed to accept as it rushed forward towards the Uchiha. Said Uchiha dodged under a punch and hit the spirit with one of his own in the gut.

Maki quickly used her speed to get out of the way.

The cursed spirit grunted, Fukashi quickly pulled his head back to avoid a piece of wood from impaling his skull.

Hanami threw another punch that was pushed to the side by the Uchiha who used it to get inside the spirits guard.

He unleashed a flurry of powerful punches into the spirits stomach, quickly he avoided an attempted knee and then dodged a second arm trying to punch him.

He jumped back and stared at the spirit. It had pulled its second arm from the sling it was in. Its arm from the sling was completely brown with a small flower on its shoulder.

He narrowed his eyes before rushing towards the spirit again. Quickly, almost before he could dodge a large surge of wood was created from nothing and seeked to stab him.

He quickly jumped to the side and observed the wood that was potent with cursed energy. It was potent with something different, the cursed energy felt almost natural.

He couldn't think on it much longer as he dodged another spike of wood surging towards him with extreme speed.

'I need to keep this close' his hand lit with lightning as instead of dodging the sharp pieces of wood he just went through it with his Chidori leading the way.

He had to close his eyes to avoid the sheer amount of splinters flying into him. Quickly though he got to the source of the wood.

The curse looked shocked as the Uchiha with closed eyes somehow came through the wood but before Hanami could react it's arm was obliterated in a painful explosion of bone and blood.

The curse barely reacted to the pain as it held onto where its arm used to be. Fukashi knew powerful curses had an instinctive control of over reversed cursed energy though.

So he stopped right behind the curse and turned with the Chidori still blazing in his hands and in the single movement while the curse was distracted with the surprise he ran his hand through the midsection of the curse.

He grinned in victory as his hand passed through the curse, he had cut it in half. His grin quickly dropped when he saw it…it was healing. He jumped back instantly and avoided another burst of wood coming from the ground.

'How the hell' his eyes were wide as he stared at the cursed spirit. He thought back to the last spirits he killed. Both of them died when the heads were completely destroyed. The centipede's face was practically blown up by the Chidori and the other shadow curses head was completely crushed.

He needed a new move he thought to himself, something that could destroy a curse completely in one use.

The Chidori faded from his hand as he thought about how to exorcise this curse.

While he didn't yet have a move to completely demolish a while cursed body he had an idea, not the most complex one but it would work he grinned as he stretched his arms.

Stick a Chidori down its throat.

In less than a second he ended up directly behind the annoyed curse and kicked out the back of its knee causing it to drop to one knee.

The cursed spirits' wooden eye sockets seemed to widen in panic.

Keeping his momentum he activated the Chidori in his right hand the sound of 1000 chirping birds drowning out all other sounds in the shallow river.

And with his Chidori covered fist he plunged it through the special grades skull with the gruesome smell of cooking meat.

His Chidori faded away, he pulled his hand out of the spirit with a gruesome plop. The spirit's body dropped into the ankle deep water with a splash.

Its body was already decomposing into the ground while flowers bloomed as its cursed energy sunk into the soil surrounding the water.

The veil surrounding them was suddenly taken down in a flash. Satoru was welcomed with the sight of the last Uchiha standing above a familiar but dead special grace curse without a scratch on him.

Gojo landed next to Megumi and picked his injured student up, he looked over to the Last Uchiha and met eyes with the teen.

Said teen looked away and to Maki who was now standing in ankle deep water.

Fukashi walked over to the girl while Gojo left with Megumi in his arms towards the medical wing.

"You lost your glasses" he said as he looked at her, she scoffed as she looked for them in the shallow water.

Maki looked over at Fukashi only to find him looking for them as well. She didn't really want to accept his help to be totally honest. In that fight she was beaten by the curse quickly while it was holding back, and he had exorcised it in under a minute.

She had been trying to get strong for so long, and she's seen no real improvement. Well no real improvement compared to him.

She remembered when Yuta came to Jujutsu High as well, one month she was training him which side of a sword to use and the next month he had taken out a special grade sorcerer.

But in the end, he was her friend. She remembered the night where they just slept on the same painful sofa while listening to music and sighed.

"They're purple and squ-" she was interrupted by him speaking while holding something up.

"Got them," he said with a strained smile. He quickly walked over and handed her the glasses.

They were practically destroyed, the frames look like they were hit with a truck. She sighed, that would be annoying to replace. "At least both the lenses are here"

She noticed his confused look. "The lenses are the part that help me see curses, so I only need to get new frames for them" she explained.

He nodded and then looked towards the growing bruise on her face with worry "You good?" He asked.

She rolled her eyes and nodded then spoke. "Yeah I'm fine, what about you though?" Her eyes were fixed on his chest as if she could see the scarring through the T-shirt.

Fukashi nodded before turning around and starting to walk towards the school with Maki walking beside him. She turned to him with a question on her lips, "How did you get so strong so quick"

He only looked over at her in confusion. She spoke up again "I know you've been strong since you've got here but it seems everyday you're getting stronger" Fukashi furrowed his eyebrows as he looked over at her while they were still walking.

"I don't know, I train" he shrugged as he looked over to her. She sighed, he had won the genetic lottery when it comes to strength.

Not much she can really do.

Her thoughts were interrupted by his words "I mean we can spar when we get back" she was about to object remembering the last sparring session when he spoke again. "I'll keep to your pace, we can just do hand to hand." He said as he shrugged.

"My sharingan will be predicting everything so you'll need to be sneaky" he shrugged again while looking down at his shoes.

She looked down to her shoes aswell before speaking "Thanks" her reply was short but Fukashi heard it and felt a smile form on his face.

Mei-Mei met with Principal Gakuganji at the end of the exchange event "You got the money old man" she asked with heat in her tone.

That was risky, she didn't truly realise the risk involved with the Uchiha. He nodded before handing her a brown envelope filled with cash.

Angering the kid seemed pretty easy risk free money, now she's fearing for her brother's life.

She groaned, seriously cash in these days, she shook her head. "You owe me a favour as well" she said to the old man.

His face twisted but he nodded reluctantly. "The boy poses a potential threat to you, remember that" Gakuganji said to the woman who only nodded before walking off.

Gakuganji rubbed his chin in thought. 'The Uchiha is certainly interesting, It seems paying Mei to anger the boy was most certainly worth it'
