JumpJutsu Kaisen (An Aoi Todo Fanfic)

(Todo's POV)

What is categorized as talent?

Is everything You can do, or not do, a talent? Is dying a talent too? Or, is killing a talent?

People think that talent is just a hoax, or at least, that's what the adults used to say to young people...Even I, once upon a time, agreed on it.

But, when I broadened my horizons, after getting reincarnated in this body, the disparity was all but visible.

Talent exists, and what you do with it, will change everything.

I was talented in my previous life. At which things? Everything.

I could start a new thing and instantly become as good as the people surrounding me. I could work a little, and I'd be the top of that field.

At least that's what I thought. That's why, I grew complacent. I became lazy. I became the very definition of someone you shouldn't strive to be.

Talent was great and all...but, I never had the drive to use it. What was the use?

But now, things were different. I could see stuff that most of this world wouldn't be able to, I could kill those beings that people revered as their Gods.

Honestly, all it took was a change of view.

And now, as I see my friends, who I've formed a much deeper bond with, fighting curses that their fictional future selves couldn't hope to contest against...It made me feel...Good.

It was a great feeling honestly. I felt like a teacher, a big brother, and a reliable comrade all at once.

I wonder where that girl, who got glitched before me...who I forgot the name of...is, right now?

Well, if she is in this world, I'd love to catch up on our previous lives...after all, I couldn't talk about those things with the residents of this world.

What was I doing?

I was currently sitting on a rooftop, relaxing my body after an intense training session, while Noritoshi and Momo fought a lone Semi Grade 1 Curse.

This was their current limit, after being trained physically and mentally by me and Utahime. It had been a year since we met, and if they couldn't even do this...then I'd rather have them train more.

A week or two was left before new Juniors arrive. I wonder if they'd have more potential and grit than these two...

"Are you gonna sit here the whole time?" Utahime's voice came beside me. She had come here exactly 3 minutes ago, and had been staring at me for half that time.

"You know me better than that..." I say, exaggeratedly sulking, to make her feel guilty or bad...But of course, she wouldn't fall for it after being my 'Sensei' for a whole year.

I mean, she thought of teaching me a few useful techniques, like simple domain and others, but unfortunately, I had learned whatever she could teach me via Yuki.

Speaking of Yuki, I had met her a few times and even sparred with her. Well, now it always ended up in a draw. I could damage her, but she couldn't really do anything against my passive .

She did ended up blasting half my arm off after using that split moment in which I had impacted her.....

Basically, when I punched her chest, hard enough for it to cave in, she used Garuda to pierce through her own chest to impact my arm. I could've still used or teleported away, but I was too stumped by her own sacrificial attack that I was left Gaping there for a few moments longer than necessary.

....That opened up a new category of attacks and defenses in my mind, and I was grateful for it....But still, DAMN...

And to repay her for that new horrifying category she opened up for me, I teleported her and Garuda inside a river. She was so mad at that...heh.

Anyway, it was all fun and games until now. I still had the thought of killing Yuji after he swallows a few fingers...I mean, I just couldn't ignore the deaths that were caused just to let him live....

Am I talking like a villain? Do I not have morals? Am I a paranoid person who hates seeing people around me get hurt? Am I a sadist who hurts people he doesn't know?...

There were too many questions, and the answers made me seem hypocritical, even to myself, yet I couldn't get rid of who I was....So, if I don't find a way to kill Sukuna, Kenjaku and other special Grade Curses, I will kill him just after he absorbs 15 or a lesser amount of fingers. I'll force Gojo to hollow purple the shit out of him if I have to.

As for how I'll achieve that?...Who knows?

I glance sideways, to Utahime, who was sitting and intensely staring at my teammates fighting a semi Grade 1 curse....And I couldn't resist it....

"Are you looking for the Gojo in them, Sensei?" The question, even if nonsensical and illogical, managed to fluster her....hehe....

I could notice the faint red hue on her cheeks appear, while she twisted her body in a strange motion. I could see a kick approaching my face slowly, while her expression was more of an horror and disgusted one.....Slowed perception is truly a beautiful thing~

I flashed my head a bit upwards, so that her kick lands on my chin rather than my face. I let it hit.

The impact stung a bit, and then I was sent flying in the sky. I added a bit more spring to it with my own legs, and now....I am a free bird~

Well, she needed face the consequences of kicking this you master~ Hehehe....

So, with the next beat of this fragile heart of mine, the Older Girl switched places with me, taking to the air, in stead of me....such sacrifice....truly respectable~

And now I sat on the roof once again, while I mused at the spectacle of my Sensei flailing around, trying to adjust her position, as to not injure herself much when she landed, while spouting vile curses at me.

I had a bit of conscience left, so like the Generous Master of the Cosmos, I was, I let her fall into a river, instead of the esteemed ground....

Today is gonna be quite hectic because of this stunt, but oh well, this is what life is all about after all~
