Chapter 37: Sisters
The most typical example is Ieiri Shoko, the third person in the trio with Gojo and Geto. She's a natural master of the Reversed Cursed Technique. With her control over the Reverse CursedTechnique, it's said that as long as someone hasn't died outright, Ieiri Shoko can bring them back.
But the Reverse Cursed Technique that Gojo mastered can only heal himself, not others.
In a future battle against sukuna, Gojo found himself in a state of technique exhaustion after using Domain Expansion and could no longer use it again. Gojo, determined to defeat Sukuna, chose to sacrifice his own brain and cognitive functions and he then used the reversed cursed technique to heal himself to access Domain Expansion again, unleashing his full potential and significantly enhancing his cursed energy.
From this, we can see just how terrifying the Reverse Cursed Technique's recovery abilities are. That level of regeneration is simply absurd.
"Loading!"
Naturally, Ryuji wouldn't carelessly decompose such a useful recovery ability.
"Talent Entry System!
Host: Ryuji Hoshino
Bloodline: Human!
Loaded Entries: Soul Devouring [Red] ,Yin-Yang Eyes [Gold], Presence Concealment [Gold], Tranquility [Gold], Reverse Cursed Technique [Gold], Iron Fist [Purple]!
Points: 21,120!
With the RCT successfully loaded, Ryuji could feel that the cursed energy within his body had become more vigorous.
"Speaking of which, when cursed energy is reversed, the techniques one can use also become extremely powerful!"
For example, the difference between Gojo's forward-using Blue technique and his reverse-using Red technique.
Ryuji suddenly had the urge to try it out.
But!
"Uh! I don't seem to have any techniques!"
Gojo was born with the ability to use his techniques, but Ryuji's Soul Devouring ability was loaded from the red entry.
So, strictly speaking, he didn't seem to have any innate abilities of his own.
"Hiss! Good grief…"
Never mind. Ryuji didn't care too much about it. He had his cheat-like system anyway.
If he didn't have a technique, he could always find someone who did and trigger it!
"Hehe!"
Ryuji inexplicably thought of Gojo. After all, he was currently the strongest sorcerer. He just had to figure out a way to "plunder" him.
...
On the other side, Gojo, who had brought Yuta to Jujutsu High School, suddenly sneezed.
How strange. It felt like someone was talking about him. Who could it be?
"Is this Jujutsu High School?"
Yuta looked at the old-fashioned school in front of him with curiosity.
"How's it look? Not bad, right?"
Gojo snapped out of his thoughts and smiled as he patted Yuta on the shoulder.
Yuta nodded, then glanced at Gojo with curiosity.
"Will I be studying here from now on?"
"It's still not certain whether you'll officially enroll!"
Gojo suddenly chuckled with a mischievous grin.
Under Yuta's confused gaze, Gojo laughed and said:
"Don't forget, you killed three people not too long ago. The jujutsu world might just decide to sentence you to death!"
"D-death penalty?!"
Oh no! Yuta stood there, dumbfounded.
"Hahahaha!"
Gojo laughed heartily, having successfully tricked Yuta. How could Gojo let such a talented individual be sentenced to death? The only reason he said that was to scare Yuta a little.
...
Meanwhile, "Ryuji!"
After Ryuji had finished sorting out his newly acquired abilities, Miko had also just finished her club activities.
As she left the club, Miko saw Ryuji and quickly ran over to him.
"What's going on? You seem really happy today."
On their way back, Miko couldn't help but ask curiously. She could sense that Ryuji was in an exceptionally good mood.
And why wouldn't he be? After loading the Reverse Cursed Technique and consuming two Grade 1 cursed spirits, Ryuji knew that once he finished digesting them, his strength would increase exponentially.
"Of course I'm happy, especially with Miko by my side!" Ryuji replied casually.
He simply smiled as he lightly teased Miko.
"Hehe, I'm also really happy to have Ryuji-kun with me!" Miko responded with a smile.
For Miko, being with Ryuji was undoubtedly the thing that made her happiest. The two continued chatting and laughing as they made their way home. Meanwhile, Yukino had also returned to her apartment.
After witnessing so much today and being overwhelmed by the information, she decided to leave school earlier than usual. But as soon as she opened the door to her apartment...
"Welcome home!"
A larger version of Yukino suddenly jumped out, clearly trying to scare her.
"..."
Yukino didn't say anything. She simply stared in silence at the person in front of her.
"Aww, I didn't scare you!" Yukinoshita Haruno, her older sister, looked a little disappointed. She had been hoping to see her sister startled and flustered.
"Yukino's gotten braver!"
"..."
After all the bizarre things she'd witnessed today, what was this, really?
Yukino didn't respond and instead silently changed into her slippers before walking further into the apartment. She didn't ask how her sister had gotten in without a key, as she had probably made a copy from somewhere.
Anyway, Yukino was used to being pranked by her older sister ever since they were kids.
"Why are you here?" Yukino finally asked, wondering why her sister had shown up at this time.
"I haven't seen you in a while, Yukino. I missed you so much!"
It's probably a little-known fact that Haruno is a genuine sisterly figure.
To Haruno, nothing in the world was more important than her little sister.
"Yukino wouldn't kick her sister out, would she?"
As she spoke, Haruno looked at Yukino with puppy-dog eyes, feigning pitifulness.
"..."
What could she say? She knew it was just an act, but after all, this was her sister.
"Fine. Leave after dinner!"
"Hehe!"
Haruno smiled happily, knowing her tsundere sister well. This was Yukino's way of letting her stay.
As for "leaving after dinner"? Haruno already had a few tricks up her sleeve to avoid that.
