"We need a game plan here."


Yuji and Kento glance at Gojo, all three standing on the roof of a very high building. They had to leave your clan to talk privately as there could be potential listeners in their conversation. "What can we do?" Yuji starts with a frown. "Not only is the clan now watching their every move there's a chance they're watching our move too."


"I don't see any around-"


"I mean with this potential other future seer or whatever," Yuji cuts off Gojo.


"Add to the fact that Sukuna brought this up to Y/N as well, now she won't trust Yuji if he goes back," Nanami stated with a scowl. "While he backtracked with her stating it was only theories, he planted that seed in her mind that we are potentially working with her clan." Knowing how evil Sukuna can get, he knows that the curse did it on purpose. It essentially disturbing to see you behave so friendly to Sukuna and to see the curse being friendly like that.


However Nanami cannot assume the worst, he will never assume worse before hearing the truth again. About you at least, he will always assume Sukuna has a couple of tricks up his sleeve. Just like this morning Sukuna implied that your clan can't be trusted, which is fair, but now Yuji is known to be with your clan.


Everything was going downhill so fast and Nanami felt helpless to stop it. If your clan really let you act on your own to fulfill this path you're on now, what is the goal here? Even at the revelation that you no longer have your technique, your father didn't bat an eye. So he knows your eyes are gone, what else is going on?


Gojo is bitter about this whole thing. Hearing the possibility that your clan made a big deal about you not joining the sorcerer school in fear that your eyes would be misused, that was all a facade. It made him angry, Gojo knows how it feels to only be defined by the power he has. To others, what defined you was the usefulness of your eyes, but to him?


You were just a goofy girl who cared with her whole heart.


So when your father raised hell to not let you go, was that fake too?


"We need to do some investigating," Gojo said with a grumble. "Yuji did Shiro or Luis give any hints to what the clan could be planning?" Yuji thinks about it and he doesn't remember Luis saying anything important, but Shiro?


"He said that Y/N's clan were slaves to the jujutsu society 1,000 years ago and that they relied on a certain path to get free," Yuji starts. "Something about a huge threat to the sorcerers that made her clan rely on its strength."
