Naruto - A Cursed System

It had been a week since Yukio learned about cursed spirits. He was given general lessons that weren't related to jujutsu. Most of which went in-depth in the history behind the Gojo Family and the other notable families. He was also taught how to be a proper servant by one of the more experienced servants.

Thankfully, although he is of age to start learning the academic subjects, it wasn't needed. They learned that Yukio was very smart for his age. It totally wasn't the fact that he begged Satoru to help him out. Even if it had been a long time since he attended school, he can still remember how much he hated it.

It was currently two days before a day before Christmas. Only recently did Yukio remember about the holiday as he had forgotten about it since his reincarnation.

He planned on going shopping during these two days to purchase a gift for Satoru. He heard some rumors that the Gojo Family celebrated Christmas and the upcoming New Year holiday, but Satoru was excluded from participating. The rumors suggested that instead of focusing on trivial, wasteful matters, it would be better for the Six Eyes user to grow stronger and smarter quickly.

Yukio found it pitiful and a bit cliche.

In his eyes, the younger Satoru was nearly the opposite of the Satoru he remembered. The only thing similar between the two was how cool they were.

'What should I get him? What would Satoru like? A puppy? Hm... Maybe I can get some inspiration if I pickpocketed people?'

=====

Yukio silently crept inside Satoru's room. It was currently Christmas, but Yukio got up a bit too early to start celebrating it. The sun wasn't even awake yet. It will be in an hour or two.

He had his hands behind his back as if he was hiding something. He made his way to the large bed near the center of the room.

His empty, dull eyes looked at the sleeping white-haired prodigy. Suddenly, Satoru opened his eyes and looked straight into Yukio's.

Satoru scanned the room for any possible danger, and when he didn't find any, he sat up and rubbed his eyes while yawning, "Yukio, why did you wake me up so early?"

Not even startled from the sudden awakening, Yukio explained, "I heard that you never celebrated Christmas before, so I made you a present! You shouldn't be excluded from such holidays even if you're the future heir. You're still a chi-"

"What do you mean I don't celebrate Christmas?" Satoru interrupted with a look of confusion, "I still celebrate the holidays, but I don't care about it. I usually get a present from every ȧduŀt of the Gojo Clan every Christmas. I even get some presents from the other sorcerer families."

"Wha?"

"Don't forget, news about you becoming my servant should have spread amongst the jujutsu community. You may also get gifts from certain people so that they can get closer to you and then get closer to me."

"Huh." Yukio didn't know how to react. The rumors were actually false and he was a fool for believing in them. He was even more amazed by the possibility of obtaining gifts from strangers.

He asked, "What kind of gifts will I get?"

After thinking for a bit, Satoru answered, "Probably toys or something childish."

"No cursed tools? Objects? Or even techniques?"

"I doubt it. You act quite childish for those kinds of stuff. They might even think you are too dumb to use them. They may give you stuff like that when you get older, but not now. Moreso, they don't even know what your cursed technique is."

"B-But you know I'm not always childish!"

"I know, but excluding me and your teacher, bȧrėly anybody has experienced you being mȧturė nor intelligent. Well... asides from that one time."

Ever since his education started, both Satoru and Yukio's teacher realized that he was quite intelligent. He was even very mȧturė when they started his servant lessons.

"Besides, what did you get me? Might as well show it since you're here."

"Oh right! Here ya go." Yukio handed Satoru a white Christmas tree origami.

"I don't think Christmas trees are supposed to be white."

"Ah, I thought you'd like it white since your hair is also white."

Satoru stared at the tree for a few seconds and smiled at Yukio, "Thanks. I appreciate it."

"No problem. By the way… are you willing to purchase origami from me?"

"…?"

[Basic Gifting]

Description: Slightly boosts your proficiency at gifting presents. You can easily wrap a present even if it has a distinct shape.

To advance the skill, give meaningful gifts to the people you love.

That day, Yukio was given many gifts that people sent to "chummy up" with him. Most of which were toys, pictures, things that a child would want. Unexpectedly, the Zenin Clan gave him a cursed tool albeit it was only a grade four. It was a pen that could write by itself as long as it is constantly supplied with cursed energy. Yukio was able to put it inside the system.

=====

It wasn't long before New Year's rolled around. Yukio didn't know anything about japan's culture, but he had been slowly learning about it from Satoru.

When it was New Year's, Satoru was sent somewhere private along with the other Gojo-blood members. Those who didn't possess the blood lineage, like Yukio, weren't allowed to attend.

Not that they would care. Most of the non-blood members spent the New Year's with their own families.

Yukio was one of the few that had no one to celebrate the holiday with. He simply stayed inside the clan household with Hex and tried to advance his skills and increase his stats.

Satoru only came back a few days after New Year's had ended.
