[KYOTO FUTURE SCIENCE LAB]
[ROLLING BACK TO TIME BEFORE YUKKA AND MARU MET]
"Usami-San... are we dreaming?"
A man dressed in formal attire said anexiously, covering his temples in fear and sensing something ominous.
"Nope."
Before him was Usami, the elected interim minister of foreign affairs. Mino, his subordinate sat in front of him on furniture. Both sat on furnitures with a table between them, covered with list of papers and treatise.
"So, that's what people mean when they say 'Ryomen Sukuna' level..."
Ever since from moment he saw simurian king Dabura from the meeting held few moments ago, panic was devouring Mino with every passing second.p
"If he wishes to, he could level a country with ease. Our position has been made clear."
Usami wasn't panicking at all, at least from outside; He was analysing situation carefully like a strategist, considering strengths and weaknesses of both sides.
"Even still, we can't exactly just swallow all of the conditions they thrown at us."
"Allow simurian ambassadors to learn sorcery and follow sorcerers on missions whilst hiding the fact that they are aliens..."
"We must not allow war; we have to avoid it at all cost, to the end we must strive for harmony!!" Usami finally completes his last sip of coffee.

"Why are you trembling? Your head is still there."
Hojo had no drop of blood on his body despite earth was crimson because of spraying blood. He turned, his hands again locked in pockets, and sat near Yukka on his knees.
"She's badly injured on her shoulder but you can still save her."
Hojo stood and stepped toward the school's gate, but Tsurugi called him from behind, breaking his silence that he kept from the moment, old man's head tasted soil.
"Why...why you helped me? I even don't know, who you are! Then why?!"
"Who said I helped you? It was just that killing that little man would result in Yukka's saviour. It's simple." Hojo stopped for a moment.
"Then how you know Yukka? She's my sister!" Tsurugi shouted to stop Hojo who just passed through gate.
Mine combined with Yukka's strength wasn't enough to defeat that curse,Yukka even ended up getting injured. I was sure he was grade one curse. But he killed that curse like it wasn't a fight afterall! It's hard for even a special grade sorcerers that are extremely rare to found. Tsurugi thought as Hojo stopped, turning back to him, retracing his steps.
"That means you are Okkotsu. Can you take me to Okkotsu's Head?"
"There is no Okkotsu's Head, Okkotsu Clan is extension of Gojo Clan. But I can take you to Gojo Clan's current head, my mom." Tsurugi said, clearing blood from his face.
"Wow! it was great that you just did. Who are you boy?" Interim minister Usami said, coming with his subordinate Mino from behind.
"Nothing more than a stranger," Hojo turned toward Usami.
"Sir, I can't sense any curse energy from him..." Mino whispered near Usami's ear.
I know, that's why I'm wondering how he killed that curse in such that way. Usami thought, increasing distance from Mino, stepping forward Hojo.
"At least, you have a name?"
"It's Hojo"
"Why have you these sunglasses? There isn't much sunlight here." Usami said, struggling to persuade him to say something about his identity.
"It's protection to my eyes." Hojo's sunglasses glinted as he adjusted them.
"Tsurugi, take Yukka and Maru to hospital, ambulance is on its way here." Usami tried to get rid of Tsurugi and luckily ambulance arrived on that same time.
"Now, Hojo... I heard that you want to meet Gojo Clan's head. Allow me to take you there instead of Tsurugi. I also have something to talk about to you."
"I just want to meet head. I don't care about anything else." Hojo whispered, enough to audible by both of them and moved toward Usami's car.
This boy has something different; There is no curse energy around him, but my instincts are fluctuating like hell in his surrounding, like my legs want to jump 100 metres back. Usami thought, following Hojo to his own car.
Hojo stopped near the Car's door, until Mino pressed a button on his watch, unlocking Car.
"He came in hurry like he's going to drive... fool." Mino whispered with a little exasperation on his face, opening driver's door and sitting there to drive.
After everyone sat on their seats( Hojo and Usami on rear seats), Mino put his hand on handle, rainbow light filled the car, coming from centre of handle and tracing all path linearly to every corner of car in a second, signalling that car was started. Within this, car hovered in air, and fired up, moving with very high speed.
Silent mode on, Mino pressed a button on dashboard, blocking all types of noises including car's. It was silence now.
"Do you know about curses?" Usami asked Hojo, trying to play with him.
"Curses... yeah, a little. My granny used to told me them so that I can sleep."
What?! For sleep? I haven't heard anything like this in my carrier. Usami thought, his brain still digesting this newly found fact or say 'weirdness'.
"I have an offer for you. If you work with us, we can make make you a billionaire overnight."
Every effort of Usami in Hojo was to persuade him to work for them, for humanity as a jujutsu sorcerer, as he found a ray of light in eternal darkness spreaded all over humanity after arrival of alien race simurian.
Simurians have their king Dabura, who was equivalent to king of curse — Sukuna. Even 68 years ago, Sukuna was only defeated because of Gojo Satoru's immense damage, without that, it would be impossible for entity humanity to defeat Sukuna alone. And that time was era of greatest sorcerers.
But now, with no powerful Sorcerers, it's impossible to even think about defeating sukuna level threat along with an army of 50,000 simurian where each simurian surpass average jujutsu sorcerer.
So, it's hell normal to need someone powerful on their side.

[Gojo Clan Residence]
Door opens and Usami enters the room followed by Hojo and Mino. Before them was current head of Gojo Clan— a woman, Yukka's mother.
"Hojo, come ahead. She's here, current head of Gojo Clan."
Yukka's mother glances Usami a little and gesture others present in room to go outside.
"You can continue..." She spoke calmly, her voice carrying weight of formalities and duties.
"I don't have any word to say."
Hojo surprised everyone, Usami instantly whispers near his ear in panic, "Fool, she's head...!"
Hojo sided Usami, raising his hand and then put his fingers, removing his sunglasses.
As soon as Hojo removed his sunglasses, whole atmosphere changed in a second. Yukka's mother's eyes were widened, her face paled in shock.
Hojo's eyes weren't normal, his iris colour was iridescently shining even without no reflection, like all colours present in cosmos were mixed up in his eyes, they were indescribable by just 'rainbow coloured'.
"Gojo Satoru...?"
