I Use Ninjutsu in Jujutsu Kaisen!

Woke up at 5:30 AM as usual and walked out of the villa, waiting for them to spar and ask for guidance.

After fourteen days of instruction from Ido Shuichi, Natsu Hiraku had learned all of his combat techniques, and tonight at 8 PM would be his graduation.

Relying on these combat skills, even if his physical fitness wasn't as good as theirs, Natsu Hiraku could still fight back and forth. If he really couldn't win, he would still use Cursed Energy to strengthen his body.

However...

How could today be possible?

Let alone the brothers Kira and Yoshikage guarding the door, they would usually be squatting here at this time, waiting for him to come over so they could all pounce and ask for guidance.

What's going on today?

Did the sun rise in the west? Or has the world ended? There wasn't a single person around.

He looked at the two and asked, "What's going on today?"

The two stood there like wooden statues, motionless, and didn't answer Natsu Hiraku's question.

Natsu Hiraku continued to ask, "Kira, Yoshikage, what's happening today?"

They still didn't respond, their eyes fixed forward with determination, as if they didn't recognize him.

Weird!

Natsu Hiraku even started to doubt if he was still asleep, dreaming. However, this dream was extremely similar to reality.

The green leaves on the trees swayed with the breeze. Natsu Hiraku glanced at them and knew this wasn't a dream, as his brain couldn't possibly handle such detailed and massive work.

The texture of the leaves was clearly visible, and the pattern on each leaf was different. Unless he was sleeping with his Sharingan active, he couldn't have imagined it so clearly.

So, what exactly is the situation right now?

Normally, these two would excitedly shout "Greetings, Vice-Captain!" upon hearing the door open and be the first to ask for guidance. What's going on today?

Natsu Hiraku's thoughts grew stranger and stranger. He glanced at the two and was about to leave when he heard Kira and Yoshikage clap and shout, "Vice-Captain Hiraku, thank you for your hard work."

As the applause rang out, dozens of people swarmed in from the roads on both sides. It was as if they had rehearsed, with the person at the very front holding a cake, and everyone behind him clapping and cheering.

Although they were clapping and cheering, the sound wasn't very loud. Everyone spoke one after another, offering their most sincere blessings at that moment.

Go-in Roku: "Thank you, Vice-Captain, for being willing to teach us. If we meet again in the future, I will definitely vote for you to be the captain!"

Ryusui Ruo Bing: "Yeah, that captain guy only taught us for three months, not as practical as you, Vice-Captain."

Hinata So: "Vice-Captain Hiraku, thank you very much for the past half month of teaching..."

Natsu Hiraku looked at everyone who came to say goodbye in advance, patted his head, and said a bit embarrassed, "Don't praise me so highly, you're making me feel shy. By the way, why don't I see the Captain and Master Shuichi?"

"I'm here..."

Murata Shoichi pushed through the crowd and walked to the front, saying, "The Captain is on patrol and doesn't have time to come, so he asked me to pass on a message. Don't you dare come over tonight. Get lost quickly tomorrow morning, or I'll have no underwear left if you keep learning."

This remark caused everyone to burst into laughter.

Natsu Hiraku also gave a wry smile.

For the master who had taught him for 14 days, Natsu Hiraku felt a sense of gratitude at this moment. Although their meeting was pure fate, getting to know each other depended on himself. He had learned a lot these past few days. Although he didn't know how to thank this "cheap" master, he still had to see him one last time.

Perhaps they wouldn't meet again in the future, but this memory would remain forever in his mind. Of course... the 25 people in front of him would too.

"Okay, I understand. Please relay my message to Master Shuichi, I will go and bid farewell tonight."

After speaking, Natsu Hiraku took the cake from Nagato and walked towards the main gate, waving his hand. "I'll take the cake. You guys hurry back to your posts, I'm going out for a while."

"Yes, Vice-Captain!"

Natsu Hiraku didn't reply, but instead, holding the cake, he walked directly out of the gate. At this moment, he needed to find a location for the final battle. Although this place was quite far from the city, there were an unusually large number of elderly people living nearby, who had come here to retire.

The air was fresh, there were few cars, and many trees. The developers had clearly turned this place into a paradise for the elderly, but this meant that if a battle broke out nearby, these elderly people would be affected.

As for a "Curtain," it was completely unnecessary. After all, he wouldn't be able to set up any high-level barriers, such as preventing Cursed Spirits from leaving or designating who couldn't enter.

Setting it up would be completely useless. He'd rather spit out fire than waste his internal Cursed Energy on this thing.

Natsu Hiraku ate the cake while wandering around. He had to admit, the things these men bought were quite delicious. A fruit cake, were they looking down on him?

After wandering for a full half hour, Natsu Hiraku decided on a cemetery as the location for the final battle. Although fighting on someone else's grave was a bit immoral, there was no other choice.

At this moment, touching the Cursed Spirit in the ring wouldn't cause any reaction. It would only be difficult to remove the ring from Mitsuchi Mi's hand. If the commotion was too great, it might wake up the sleeping Cursed Spirit.

That wouldn't be fun, and this was the only chance. After all, he wasn't a pervert who did surprise night raids every day. As for the key, it wasn't difficult to make; he had already memorized the model with his Sharingan.

He could carve it out of a sturdy piece of wood, as long as the prerequisites were met. The next step was to familiarize himself with the route.

Natsu Hiraku took out his phone and opened the map to look. It was three kilometers from the villa, a secluded location. If he used Cursed Energy to run at full speed, it would take about eight minutes.

After all, the streets were complicated, and he couldn't travel in a straight line from the house.

Eight minutes...

To be honest, it was a bit long. If the Cursed Spirit didn't go berserk during this time, it would be fine. If it did, he would have to find another place.

This was going to kill him.

Wait... what is this place?

Natsu Hiraku looked at the black dot on his phone's map and zoomed in. Two kilometers west of the villa, there was an unfinished building.

I don't know what kind of ghost it is, but the west is like his southern corner, close to the mountains and forests. I've never taken my dog for a walk in these two directions with Mitsuchi Mi before.

After all, everyone is thinking about how to get familiar with the Cursed Spirits in the jie (prison/seal), or train with those people. Who has the time to go out for a walk alone?

"Let's go take a look."

Natsu Hiraku noted the route, turned off his phone, and walked towards his destination.

Fifteen minutes later, Natsu Hiraku arrived at the unfinished building. There was a blue sign next to the main entrance that read:

[Construction unfinished, entry prohibited. You are responsible for any injuries sustained.]

Natsu Hiraku glanced at it and walked straight in. Inside, four three-story flat buildings had been constructed, all with only the framework built and no walls or decoration. There was also a foundation resembling a swimming pool. It was unclear how long this place had been abandoned, as the grass on the ground was already a meter high.

Perhaps some rich person had planned to retire here but suddenly changed their mind. In any case, this place was more suitable than the graveyard they had just visited.

Moreover, there was no need to navigate any complicated roads to get here; a single main road led directly to it. It was nearly two kilometers long and took at most two to three minutes, which was much better than the previous location.

"This is it. I can also help the owner clear the weeds on the ground. It might damage some of the building, but it doesn't matter anymore, as long as no one dies."

Natsu Hiraku praised. He didn't know the principle behind the Cursed Spirit's body being in a misty state or what its cursed technique was, but no matter what, it couldn't change the fact that Curses were formed from Cursed Energy. Since that was the case, techniques formed from Cursed Energy would definitely cause damage to it.

This battle would be a 4-6 split, with him at 4 and the Cursed Spirit at 6.

After 14 days of learning from Master Shuichi, his reactions and coping strategies were vastly different from before. Physical combat might be ineffective, but it was enough.

After all, the original purpose of learning physical combat was not to deal with Cursed Spirits like this, but to deal with Todo Aoi. The games between Sorcerers were far more dangerous than dealing with Cursed Spirits.

Except for those intelligent Special Grade Cursed Spirits. If he encountered one, he probably wouldn't even be able to run away. Forget about games, it would be like fighting with thin air.

After Natsu Hiraku walked around the abandoned villa twice to familiarize himself with the terrain, he left directly.

It was almost 6:50 now, and Mitsuchi Mi should be waking up. After all, he was still her bodyguard today. Once the mission was completed, he could go to the principal's office to collect his ten million yen reward.

Blissful.

Ten million yen, if converted to RMB in his previous life, would be an unimaginable sum. He felt like he could live comfortably for more than a decade.

Although it wouldn't be enough to buy a house, he could rent one and live a carefree, lazy life.

The current situation for young people: either be as lazy as possible, don't get married or have children, and maybe adopt one later with an open mind. Or, be as competitive as possible, with the noble idea that if you don't burn out, I won't either.

Natsu Hiraku currently belonged to the latter. Perhaps next year he would start being lazy, living a life as a cook, cooking meals every day without worrying about food and clothing.

But this year, no matter what, he had to reach the Special Grade level. He didn't need to be on par with Gojo Satoru, but at least he had to catch up to Yuta Okkotsu.

Perhaps for them, reaching Special Grade was a foregone conclusion, but for Natsu Hiraku, he could only work hard to complete system tasks to improve his strength.

He had no inherited cursed technique, his physical combat relied entirely on copying, his Sharingan consumed an extreme amount of Cursed Energy, his body was weak, and his Cursed Energy was pitifully low – a pile of flaws.

Perhaps his brain was still sharp, but that alone wouldn't be enough to survive. There was still more than a month until the exchange event, and he had to work even harder during this period. Otherwise, if the system issued a task to defeat Todo Aoi alone...

Heh...

It really treated him like a human.

Returning to the courtyard, Natsu Hiraku stood outside Mitsuchi Mi's room as usual, waiting until 7 o'clock.

Harukaze Mashi, dressed in a maid outfit, walked over and smiled at Natsu Hiraku, who was standing at the door. She took a necklace out of her pocket and said, "Today is the last day, right? This necklace was personally woven by me. If you come back and don't wear this bracelet, I won't let you in."

Natsu Hiraku accepted it directly and said, "I have a gift for you too, Mashi-neechan, but it will have to wait until tonight."

"Then I'm really looking forward to it."

Harukaze Mashi rubbed Natsu Hiraku's hair, took a deep breath, and then gently knocked three times on the door, saying, "It's seven o'clock, Miss."

"Come in."

As soon as she finished speaking, Harukaze Mashi took out a key, opened the door, and led Natsu Hiraku inside.

"Today is the last day. Honestly, I'm a little reluctant to part with you, Raku-otouto. Do you want to come sleep with me tonight?"

Mitsuchi Mi, wearing pink pajamas, sat cross-legged on the bed, smiling at Natsu Hiraku.

"N-no, it's fine. I can still sleep by myself."

Natsu Hiraku quickly declined. Although she was indeed beautiful, he couldn't do it. His body was still developing, and sleeping too close would be awkward, especially since he wasn't exactly a gentleman.

"Ah, what a shame. If you want to come and play with me, just call me anytime, and I'll drive to pick you up."

As Mitsuchi Mi finished speaking, a puff of black smoke floated out of her ring, forming the shape of a human woman. She stretched as if she had just woken up. Then, she hugged Mitsuchi Mi tightly, her right hand stroking her hair.

Natsu Hiraku saw all of this and felt an indescribable feeling. He often wondered if his mother had been like this, would she have been eliminated by others?

This kind of thought.

Although he had thought this way, he had dismissed it. After all, he had deliberately approached them to eliminate Cursed Spirits, and he shouldn't mix too much emotion into his mission.

If you're going to do something, do it completely. What kind of ghost is it to stop halfway... Is it kindness?

If he had to say it, his heart was inherently cold. He had thought so many times himself.

Night arrived.

"Good evening, Vice-Captain Raku!"

"Mm, good. These are for both of you. Specially made weighted rings. I was exhausted carrying them all the way here. Even if you are still the weakest now, don't be discouraged. Compete fiercely with them as soon as possible."

Natsu Hiraku was currently holding large bags and packages, with his backpack from when he arrived on his back. He had gone out for over an hour at 6:30 to buy these. Although some were expensive and some were not, they were all carefully selected and would be useful to everyone.

"Okay! Thank you, Vice-Captain!"

Go-in Roku and Ryusui Ruo Bing looked at the package Natsu Hiraku handed over, accepting it with tears in their eyes. In their year of service, this was the first time they had received a proper gift.

"Alright, no need to thank me. If you want to thank me, just report that you're safe every year. I'm going to give gifts to the others now, goodbye."

Natsu Hiraku waved and left immediately, distributing gifts one by one to those on guard duty, even to those who were changing shifts to rest.

By the end, he only had three packages left in his hands. These were gifts for Ido Shuichi, Harukaze Mashi, and Mitsuchi Mi.

He wasn't going to wait until tomorrow morning to leave anyway. After eliminating the Cursed Spirit tonight, he would return the ring and leave immediately.

The gifts had all been given out. If he didn't leave now, he would feel a pang of sadness, as they had all treated him exceptionally well.

He walked along a winding path and arrived outside a small house. The iron gate was open, and under the yellow light, a shadow was rapidly throwing punches, the "thump-thump-thump" sound as steady as ever.

Natsu Hiraku walked through the iron gate and before he could speak, Ido Shuichi yelled at him, "Didn't I tell you brat not to come here at night? I've taught you everything I can, now scram."

Natsu Hiraku didn't say anything in response to the scolding. Instead, he placed the purchased gift on the table, bowed, and left.

A moment later, the "thump-thump-thump" of striking sounds echoed from the small house again, as if no one had ever been there.

Natsu Hiraku left directly. His intentions were clear. Sometimes, actions speak louder than words, even when nothing is said.

Next was Mashi-nee's gift. He arrived at the door and gently knocked a few times, saying, "Mashi-nee, your gift has arrived."

"Coming."

Harukaze Mashi opened the door. She was wearing loose black and white pajamas, her eyes fixed on Natsu Hiraku. "You're planning to run off tonight, aren't you, kid?"
