The Blossom Sorcerer [ Naruto x Jujutsu kaisen ]

chapter 12

"where did that cursed energy come from?"

Sakumo whispered to himself as he and Minato hopped from one tree to another. Sakura was in Minato's arms,
her little arms wrapped around his neck

She felt that cursed energy. It was something she had never felt before. While training, she had felt cursed energy but it was nothing even close to this. She was kinda worried

"Don't get worried, kit. You will not be harmed... You'll never be harmed"

A deep voice spoke

A voice only Sakura could hear. It reassured her, she closed her eyes

"I know, shukaku... I know. Thank you"

"No big deal, kit. Just focus on the paths. I'll show you the road"

Sakura sighed

Shukaku always said that, but didn't tell her what he meant. It was frustrating but Sakura didn't want to cause any problems so she never pressed on the matter

The greens started to disappear, they were going out of the forests. Soon they saw two shadows of people

"What's that!?"

Minato yelled, his eyes wide with shock

Soon Sakura felt Minato get down on his face

"Minato sensei! Sakumo sensei, what are you doing here?"

Sakura finally looked back

There was Rin and Obito. But the seen Infront of was something she really didn't expect

There was blood everywhere. A boy, probably much younger than Obito and Rin, was bleeding. He was unconscious and it looked like he was badly injured from his torso to his legs

There was another young boy with them, he had blonde hair and tired eyes that were wet with tears

Rin was trying her best to heal the wound. She really was, but Sakura could tell it wasn't enough to save this boy

"It's not important why we are here. But what happened here?"

Minato asked as she put Sakura on her own feet. Sakura quietly started to examine the injuries on the young boy

"These two are the current first years of Tokyo jujutsu high. They were sent on a mission. It was told the curse was second grade but turned out to be a first grade. It was way stronger than them..."

Obito said, he was stressed. The way he was breathing unevenly, the way his hands were shaking, it was all too clear

"So they got injured badly... We got it"

Minato whispered under his breath with a serine look on his face

It was nothing new for them. Incidents like this happen all the time. They had seen this happening all the time. They have seen so many people lose their lives like this. But it still made them sick to their stomachs to see young lives slip away

Minato and Sakumo stood there with their heads hanging low as Rin kept murmuring that it wasn't working, she couldn't heal him. It broke their hearts seeing Rin cry like that. And even though Obito wasn't crying, they could tell how it was affecting him too

Soon Rin's hands dropped, the green light from her hands stopped, tears rolled down her cheeks, her hands covered in blood

"I am sorry. I am so sorry. I can't do it. He lost too much blood."

She said, silently sobbing

Sakumo and Minato sighed

They couldn't help but feel guilty looking at the young boy beside the injured one
