Naruto - A Cursed System

On the right was a boy with white hair and beautiful blue eyes. He was wearing white clothes. There was something about him that made others see him as an indifferent, yet prideful king.

On the left was a boy with black hair and empty black eyes. He wore standard black clothing that a kid would generally wear. He looked innocent and blissfully unaware of the dangers lurking in the world's shadows, yet such bliss could make others smile as brightly as him.

Can you imagine Dango's feeling when he saw the boy and immediately recognized his identity? He was an avid reader of Jujutsu Kaisen, so he cherished the dream of meeting his favorite characters from the story. Now that he was face-to-face with one of them, all Dango could think of was how to get their autograph without making a fool out of himself.

The boy dressed in white is Satoru Gojo. The child who will grow up to become the strongest jujutsu sorcerer. The boy who tipped the balance of the world upon his birth.

The moment Dango saw the boy, he instantly recognized him. But to avoid any troubles, Dango pretended to not recognize him, but even so, his happiness seeped out of his body like an overflowing tub.

Satoru noticed the boy's happy attitude but didn't care.

He was more focused on the fact that he couldn't detect any cursed energy from him.

Thanks to his Six Eyes, Satoru Gojo was incredibly intelligent and perceptive. Such perception allowed him to sense even a minimal amount of cursed energy. Yet, the boy in front of him emitted none whatsoever.

He remembered hearing about someone from the Zenin Clan having no cursed energy because of a heavenly restriction, so he wondered if the boy in front of him was related or similar to the Zenin member.

What was stranger was that he sensed a cursed spirit inside the backpack he was carrying. A cursed spirit wouldn't willingly get inside of a bag. It should generally look for prey and attach itself to them. But this spirit did none of that.

Before he could ponder any further, the black-haired boy took initiative and introduced himself, "Hello! My name is Dango. Nice to meet you! What's your name?"

Satoru Gojo was dumbfounded when he heard the boy's name, "Did your parents hate you? You have a terrible name. Nobody will take you seriously if you are named after a food."

Dango felt like bursting into tears when he heard his favorite character say that. He refuted, "My name isn't terrible! And my parents loved me!"

"Loved?"

"Yeah... My parents disappeared. It's been a long time since I've seen them. Strangers told me that they either abandoned me or they died."

"Who takes care of you?"

"Nobody. I don't even have a home. Anyways! Enough about me. You haven't told me your name."

"My name is Satoru Gojo. Hello." Satoru politely introduced himself and turned around, "I have to go now goodbye."

Dango's gaze lingered on Satoru's fleeting back for a couple of seconds before turning his attention to the window in front of him.

=====

Description: Throughout Heaven and Earth, he alone is the honored one. You have met Satoru Gojo, one of the main protagonists of Jujutsu Kaisen.

Progression: 1/1 Meet the Honored One

Reward: 20 CC, All Stats +2

=====

'That's a lot of stat points. The Ame Orphans one only gave me three. This is over twice as much.'

Immediately, he felt his body change a lot. It was similar to the Ame Orphans mission as it had given him stat points as a reward as well. However, that mission couldn't compare to the Honored One as he was feeling the effects of eight stat points affecting his body.

The change lasted for a few seconds, but it was enough for Satoru Gojo to notice it. He turned around and looked at Dango. He could tell he was different, but he didn't know what had happened nor why it happened.

He shook his head and continued walking away. Dango was a bit distracted to see Satoru's actions. When he realized that the white-haired prodigy was gone, Dango quickly walked after him.

As he is doing so, Dango activated his [Intermediate Hiding] skill. He wanted to see the power of the Six Eyes personally. He quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Satoru Gojo was almost back at the Gojo Clan household. The Gojo Clan owned a large territory and he had only reached the front gate. Just as he was about to enter through it, his eyes suddenly widened.

He turned around and noticed Dango staring at him ten meters away. Thanks to his Six Eyes, he would have been able to notice if someone was looking at him from a distance, yet this time, it failed to do so. If it weren't for Dango accidentally getting closer to him, he would have remained oblivious.

Dango on the other hand was amazed by the Six Eyes' prowess. Whenever he played hide and seek back in the Naruto World, he would generally be found if he got within three meters!

tried to do the same, he was able to at least get within two meters before being discovered. And that only happened when he was trying to follow Jiraiya and Nagato! Well, Nagato usually noticed him around five meters but pretended not to.

Dango saw that Satoru Gojo was walking towards him and got a bit frightened. Who knows, maybe he would get punished or something for being a stalker! He turned his head left and right to look for a hiding spot.

Before he had the chance, Satoru was directly in front of him. The prodigy asked, "Why are you following me? And how did you do it?"

"I'm not following you! What do you even mean?"

"How did you almost sneak up behind me?"

"Behind you? I was quite far away... And it's because I'm a ninja!"

"..." Satoru wasn't expecting that kind of answer. But the more he thought about it, the more he found it acceptable, 'He looks around five, probably older than me. He said he was a ninja... Maybe he is talented enough to have an innate technique that allows him to act like one?'

It was a plausible theory. A ninja is usually ȧssociated with stealth and deception. A related cursed technique could passively hide the user's cursed energy, preventing anybody from sensing it. Moreso, it was likely it could also lower the user's presence and make others less aware of them.

If Dango had a technique, it was likely he could have subdued the spirit.

Satoru looked straight into Dango's eyes and made a decision.

"Follow me."

"Wha?"

"You have nowhere to go, right? You can come to my house."

"Does that mean I can live with you?!"

"Yes and no. You can become my servant."

"Wha? Okay..."

Satoru Gojo decided to take Dango in as a servant, but not out of pity. He was more interested in his jujutsu capabilities. In addition, his personality would be a nice change of pace inside the Gojo Clan.. At least he won't put on a false facade.
