I'm using ninjutsu in Jujutsu Kaisen!

Chapter 144: Manda Acknowledges a Master.

Gamabunta, hearing the hissing of his natural enemy, also stopped attacking Tatsuro.

Manda's voice came from the distance, "Stinky toad, don't attack my master."

"Huh!?"

Not only was Tatsuro bewildered, but Gamabunta also looked as if he had seen a ghost.

He shouted, "Dead snake, have you slept so long that your brain has started to go bad?"

"This old man has had enough of this broken place! I want to get out! The thrill of hunting prey... I'd rather be killed than go without it! Stinky toad, when I get out, I'll eat you," Manda shouted.

"Trash."

Gamabunta plunged his short sword into the ground and said, "Brat, let that dead snake out. I'm going to swallow him whole today."

"..."

So, I'm just here to serve you guys?

Forget it, let them fight it out among themselves. Tatsuro no longer paid any mind to Gamabunta and set off to find Manda. The only summoning beast he could trust was Lady Katsuyu; after all, they had been together for over half a year.

Hissing sounds echoed from behind the thick iron gates along the corridor. They didn't speak but twisted their bodies, pulling at the iron chains on them, as if stretching their long-unmoved forms.

Tatsuro didn't pay them any mind. After all, he didn't need to beg them to sign a blood contract with him. Conversely, even if they did make a contract with him, he wouldn't necessarily summon them.

Summoning them once was ridiculously expensive, and they were disobedient to boot. They were worse than Lady Katsuyu, who could even babysit. Their combat power couldn't even compare to hers; one mouthful of her stomach acid would melt these two until not even their bones were left.

Passing by Lady Katsuyu's main body, he found she was currently sleeping, as if all her attention was on the division outside.

Perhaps instinctively sensing someone approaching, the massive Lady Katsuyu slowly awoke. Her two eyes opened, looked at Tatsuro standing at the gate, and said, "Tatsuro-kun, it's good you're here. There's something I need to tell you. That child you brought has blood stasis in her body."

"Blood stasis..."

So it's just as I thought. Seen as a cursed being by her village...

Tatsuro said, "Then please heal her. It's fine no matter how much cursed energy you draw from my body."

"Okay."

Lady Katsuyu responded and then went directly back to sleep.

"What a bunch of bastards..."

For some reason, such a mutter escaped Tatsuro's lips. Perhaps it was because he had experienced it himself, so he felt a deep empathy. A child of that age should be spending their time in their parents' embrace, not wandering and homeless like him.

Tatsuro, realizing he hadn't controlled his expression well, quickly patted his cheeks to make himself a bit more rational. He walked to Manda's gate, placed his right hand on it, and said:

"Open sesame."

"Squeak—"

The heavy iron gate slowly creaked open. Manda, bound by iron chains, appeared before him. Although his eyes were still arrogant, his temper seemed to have subsided quite a bit. In a steady tone, he said, "I am willing to sign the contract, as long as you release me from these damned chains."

Half a year is long, but also short. For Tatsuro, it passed in a flash, but for Manda, who longed to hunt prey, each day felt like a year. Not to mention, the one living next door was the chatterbox, Lady Katsuyu.

When her division outside was bored, she would start thinking of ways to harass Manda. The torment was beyond words.

His current temporary submission was just to get out and find someone to fight; otherwise, he would die here sooner or later.

Die of frustration—

Seeing Manda's 360-degree change in attitude, Tatsuro didn't deliberately make things difficult. He walked forward, jumped onto its forehead, bit his index finger, and wrote his name on it, signing the blood contract with it.

"Clack—"

The iron chains snapped. Finally able to move, Manda was now like a child of several hundred tons, excited. Its massive body began to dance, then it directly charged out of the gate, rushing towards Gamabunta.

It shouted, "A fight to the death, stinky toad!"

"Bring it on! Dead snake! Watch me eat you with dipping sauce!"

Gamabunta's voice came, and the earth began to tremble.

Tatsuro, avoiding being caught in the crossfire, jumped down from Manda's head, watching the snake and the toad get entangled.

It was like a battle of monsters. Two giant creatures fighting together, both thinking about how to kill the other.

A piercing "screech" was heard. The short sword in Gamabunta's hand struck sparks on Manda's hard scales. Manda, meanwhile, swung its tail, trying to coil around Gamabunta and then swallow him whole.

Thump!

Gamabunta, leaping tens of meters high, instantly dodged, spat out a mouthful of toad oil, and then threw his short sword.

"Still playing this trick!"

Manda's agile body easily dodged the toad oil. The short sword plunged into the ground, sparking, and the toad oil was instantly ignited.

"Oh-ho, you can play like that?!"

Tatsuro, watching from the side, now looked at the combat power of these two with new respect. After watching for a while and seeing they were fiercely and inextricably locked in battle, he left directly, his consciousness returning to his body.

"Big brother!"

Noa Yorishie's voice echoed in his ears. She was currently lying on his back, pulling his hair.

"Oh my, Tatsuro-kun is awake. Little Yorishie, let go of big brother's hair quickly, or he'll spank your bottom," Lady Katsuyu said with a laugh.

"Okay."

Hearing she would be spanked, Noa Yorishie quickly ran behind Lady Katsuyu, looking cautiously at Tatsuro, who was staring at her, as if truly afraid he would hit her.

"..."

Tatsuro glanced at the black clothes she was wearing, which were clearly three sizes too big, and said, "Those are mine, right?"

"Yes. After all, besides your clothes, there wouldn't be any others in this room."

"Is she wearing underwear?"

"No, I threw them in the washing machine."

"..."

Faced with Lady Katsuyu's reply, Tatsuro was stunned. He instantly didn't know how to respond. This is the kind of situation that starts with a death sentence!

The kind without even a suspended sentence, straight to the firing squad.

"Is big brother angry?" Noa Yorishie asked, looking at the silent Tatsuro.

"No. I'm sleeping out tonight."

Tatsuro scratched his head and stood up, opening the wardrobe. He prepared to go crash at Fushiguro Megumi's for a night. As for whether Megumi would agree...

How could he dare not agree?

If he didn't agree, he'd just drag him out for a beating until he agreed.

Dressed, Tatsuro moved to leave.

Noa Yorishie reached out to grab his hand, but was pulled back midway. Lady Katsuyu reminded her, "Boys and girls can't sleep together, you know."

Click—

The door closed.

Watching the big brother leave, Noa Yorishie said in a low voice, "But I don't want to sleep alone. That way... it's very lonely."

She could see the ghosts beside humans. She wasn't surprised by the talking slug; after all, she was so gentle, even asking her if the water temperature was too hot, better than her own mother.

"Then I'll sleep with you."

...

"Thump thump thump!"

Fushiguro Megumi, preparing for bed, heard a knock on the door and asked, "Who is it?"

"Your brother. I can't sleep at my place tonight. Coming to squeeze in with you."
