Naruto - A Cursed System

"Hello, my name is Yukio; Satoru's servant and bodyguard. It is an honor to meet you." Yukio introduced himself as he respectfully bowed.

The three Zenins didn't respond, they just blankly stared at him. Seeing the awkward situation, Kenzo Gojo lightly coughed to wake them up from their stupor.

*cough*

"Ah. We apologize for not noticing you sooner, Little One."

"It is fine. I am used to it."

After the apology, Vajiru asked Satoru and Yukio, "This will be your first time here, correct? How about I have one of my sons give you a tour around the Zenin household?"

The two kids looked at each other for a moment before Satoru agreed to the suggestion, "Then, we shall take that offer."

"Very well. Naobito, Ogi, do one of you want to be their guide?" Vajiru asked.

"..."

"..."

Seeing that neither of his sons was volunteering, Vajiru was disappointed in both of them. He decided to take matters into his own hands, "Naobito, you will go."

Naobito's eyes widened and looked at his father. He was about to refute when he felt Vajiru's glare on him. He could only nod his head in agreement.

"Now that I think about it" Vajirua brought up another suggestion, "Naobito, my grandson is also near their age. Wouldn't it be good for kids around his age to socialize with each other? It will be a good opportunity. Would that be okay, Mr. Gojo?"

"It is fine. It doesn't matter." Satoru responded.

Sighing, Naobito called out to his son. Soon, a little kid resembling Naobito appeared, "Yes, Father?"

While Naobito was coldly explaining to his child, Yukio was observing Naoya and comparing him to the Naoya he remembered. The child in front of him didn't give off the same air of arrogance that he would expect. There were no smiles on the child's face either. It seemed that the child was very disciplined due to being born in such a strict, traditional family.

'I remember him being happy when he met Toji. Has he not manifested his cursed technique yet?'

While thinking about Naoya, he was reminded about how sėxist this clan was. He looked around and noticed that there were no female Zenin Family members were attending the party. The only ones were simply servants whose duties were to serve the food and whatnot.

'Hm, doesn't the Zenin Family have those teams, groups, whatever they are? Where is the criss-cross scar man and old stone man? Hm?'

Satoru tapped on Yukio's shoulder to redirect his attention back to the conversation. Just in time too as Vajiru introduced his grandson, "Mr. Gojo and Kenzo, meet my youngest grandson, Naoya. He is very talented and highly intelligent. I have high hopes that he will awaken a cursed technique."

Satoru simply nodded as Naoya looked at him with gleaming, yet curious eyes. It was then that Yukio noticed everybody asides from Satoru had forgotten about him, making him wonder if that was a hidden effect for [Advanced Hiding]. He had seen it happen many times since he got it.

He stopped 'hiding' and had Satoru introduce him to Naoya. He might as well enjoy the party while he isn't hiding. If needed, he could easily go back to hiding.

Naoya and Yukio quickly greeted each other, yet Yukio could tell that the boy in front of him wasn't interested. Once the introductions for his son were finally finished, Naobito started the tour.

Naobito led Satoru, Naoya, and Yukio (In that order) away from the party.

When the tour group wasn't visible, Vajiru's wiped away the smile off his face and coldly looked at Kenzo.

"That child. Is he under a heavenly restriction like Toji Zenin?"

"No, he isn't. He is capable of using cursed energy, it's just that we can't sense it. His teacher and Little Satoru believe it to be a part of his cursed technique."

"Does his cursed technique also affect how we perceive him? I cannot fathom how I hadn't noticed him standing there if it weren't for the Six Eyes pointing him out."

"That is what we believe."

"If he is properly trained... The Gojo Family will possess a terrifying hidden blade."

Kenzo simply smiled when he heard Vajiru's comment and walked away. Vajiru shook his head and looked at where the tour group left to. Sighing, he went to go meet with other people as it was a duty as the host of the party.

=====

The tour was quick and simple. Naobito brought the three children to several areas and gave a rough explanation of each of them.

He introduced the Kukuru Unit and the Hei that oversee them. These two units consist of members of the Zenin clan.

The Kukuru Unit consists of the Zenin male members that are not talented enough to possess innate cursed techniques. All members who fit under the criteria are required to enlist and undergo arduous martial arts training. It is said that they would train day and night constantly without rest. This unit is merely a lower branch of the Hei.

The children saw firsthand how draining the training was. Only Yukio was amazed by the effort they were putting in. Satoru just didn't care about everything while Naoya already saw it before.

The Hei is considered the strongest unit of the Zenin Family. It is comprised of sorcerers belonging to the clan who is ranked semi-grade 1 and above. Each member has a cursed technique. The Hei was the Zenin's trump card.

Naobito didn't let the children witness the Hei training. He didn't want to disclose the secret cursed techniques that each Hei member had to two outsiders of the clan. After all, a jujutsu sorcerer's skillset mainly consisted of them using a cursed technique.

During the tour, Naoya's personality changed, shedding away that quiet, disciplined demeanor. It seemed like he became comfortable when he was away from his grandfather and was with kids his age.

He became a chatterbox who kept praising the clan and trying to make the place seem stronger than it seemed. Though, he was only really talking to Satoru the entire time. He purposefully ignored Yukio due to his status of being a servant, not that Yukio minded. After all, he is a baby.

After that, he led them to some other places that looked pretty to see. Eventually, he ended the tour off with the Disciplinary Pit. This place was what Yukio was most excited to see. It isn't every day you could find a bunch of cursed spirits all in one place.

The Disciplinary Pit was where the Zenin Clan kept numerous cursed spirits grade 2 and below. It was a large room that is used for training and discipline.

With the Disciplinary Pit being the last part of the tour, Naobito led the children back to the party.. Naobito and Naoya went to do their own things while Satoru and Yukio silently enjoyed the party.
