3Hello Guys. It's been a while. I was really curious about the Cursed technique of the Special Grade cursed spirit 'Ganesha'. I wanted to put this thought into words, which I'm very bad at. I don't know how to proceed with my other two stories, I may continue them or not, but I do not know. Because you know, I'm not a good writer. I also have various ideas for Naruto x JJK and JJK fanfic premise. But, we'll see.
Yeah, yeah, the start of the story, Reincarnation, again. But honestly, there should be more adventure/action-oriented JJK fanfics.
First Person POV.
Well, I was reincarnated. On September 8, Same birthday as my previous life. Who am I you ask? I was a 22-year-old final-year college student from India. Yeah, pretty basic stuff. I don't even know how I got reincarnated, to be honest. One night I was sleeping and the next I was in Japan in a tiny body, with the same honey brown eye and black hair. I hope that I'm another version or part of the soul that reincarnated instead of completely dead in my old world, leaving my mom alone. I hope I'm just a part of consciousness that drifted off from the Original.
Well, how do I know this is a different world? Because of the accident, I had that took away my parents from this life. I was only 6 at that time. It was very awful seeing your parents die before your own eyes, while you couldn't do anything because your weak leg bone broke. Yeah, that was shitty. It was nighttime, and my dad was driving us home through a ghat road from our trip. Suddenly, our car got blinded by a light from another vehicle and was driven off the curvy road of the hill and rolled down.
As I watched with a pained breath that my father and mother barely struggling to keep their last breath, then it came. An ugly carlike curse that flashed us. It came down and started munching on my mother. It was disgusting, scary and most of all, it brought me to the absolute bottom of my life. Pain, anger, rage, helplessness, and weakness came crashing down at a time on my tiny body and I could barely hold on to the thought of reality and consciousness, and I barely managed to keep my eyes open.
And that proved to be a mistake as I was the victim of witness to watch as my mother's was tossed aside with half her torso being missed and my father's neck being brutally bitten into by the same monster who defiled my mother. All this happened in fifteen minutes as I was struggling to get my leg free from the rod that had been curved around my leg while at the same piercing my thigh.
It turned towards me. And the realization of being the victim of eaten alive scared the life out of me. But, the reality of the situation, the monster who ate my mom and dad and now standing before me as if mocking my pain, sadness, and rage infuriated me to my limits. As it neared me, I channeled all my hopelessness, weakness, and disparity of the situation into my fist and threw a punch with all the power I could to its face.
I fully accepted, that if I had to die, I would die by punishing the monster who took away my parents; the source that provided me with food, home, love, and more importantly gave me my second chance at life. As soon as my fist connected to its face, it blasted apart, and my fist got covered in purple blood. I looked back and saw that my fist was covered in red energy. Then it hit me back in the brain, an unrefined and raw cursed energy-fueled punch shattered the curse. I lay there for what felt like hours until I succumbed to unconsciousness. However, the last thing I saw was the footsteps of a couple of people and their voices in a hurried tone.
The dreams, my parent's bodies, their blood, the pain I felt, and the monster that ate my parents and how I blasted its head off.
I woke with a gasp and looked around myself. I was draped in a hospital gown on the hospital bed and covered in a white blanket. I down and noticed an IV sticking into my hand. 'Fuck!' I looked at my leg, it was covered in bandages and it was very fucking painful.
I slowly laid back on my bed and thought about the gravity of the situation. For the first time in many years, I cried. I cried for the loss of not just my second parents, but loss of my first parents in my previous life. It was getting hard to breathe. I couldn't control my emotions, even if I'm a 22-year-old guy, I couldn't be able to handle the reality. Was it because of the uncertainty of the future or because of the fear of losing someone else again? I don't have the strength to continue, I am honestly contemplating ending my life again. But the thought of being born and losing someone else again was haunting my mind.
Then, a nurse entered, probably to change the IV again, and immediately rushed towards me and started soothing me. She slowly rubbed my back while barely managing to calm down.
The first I asked her was about my parents' bodies. She told me that they were cremated and they would be given to me, this evening. And someone came to see me and told her to inform them when I woke up.
As I contemplated who this person might be, she called the person and informed them about the situation.
I laid back down and thought about the possibilities. I don't remember my parents ever mentioning any relatives. Only a handful of friends. This could be someone from Jujutsu society to probably recruit or train me. I don't think they want to execute me like Yuta or Yuji from what I remember in the anime. Regardless of the circumstances, I haven't shown them anything that wasn't common, at least in the Sorcery world. It could be someone from a different society, I remember being named Ainu society. Heck, for all I know, it could even be Kenjaku.
After an hour, the person was revealed to be the close friend of my dad. He's a typical Japanese man, except for his red hair and monk-like traditional clothing. If I remember, he's something of a caretaker or organizer of a temple/shrine.
He came and patted me on the head consoling me. Told me that he's gonna be my guardian from now on and that I can depend on both himself and my parent's life insurance and other assets; bless their souls. Remembering the loss of them brought my mood down again. Sensing my depression, he, Hachijo Tanna-san– I remembered his name – again patted my head and told me that in a couple of days, I would be discharged and his wife, Ako, would come to visit me later that evening.
It's been 3 hours since Tanna-san left, and he gave me a mobile phone to call him or his wife, pre-saved numbers anytime if I needed. It's past 6 pm and the nurse left 2 Urns of ashes beside my bed after giving me some replenishing fluids.
My parents, Shichijou Haren, and Shichijou Ayami, were always kind to me. Always loving and making time for me. Taking me to trips and festivals. They gave me the best memories of this life. And I can't be thankful for them enough. I will always cherish them.
Six months later
2009 Oct - 9 years old.
One month back, I, Shichijou Ren celebrated my 7th year of birthday, my first birthday without my parents. Less of a celebration as I was never much of a party or gathering person. It's more of Tanna-san and his wife bringing me a birthday cake. They're both only in their mid-twenties and they were recently married a year ago. Its home was a two-storied building that was refurbished and given to rent on a lower floor while their old stuff was locked on the upper floor, Tanna-san did some ritual/puja to ward off the unwanted spirits, to make the renter comfortable.
So, I am living in their home, which is very near a popular temple/shrine of Kangiten, Ganesha in the Hindu religion. It is located on the Eastern slope of Mt. Ikoma which is just outside of Osaka city. I'm still in my elementary school which I attend in Osaka.
Anyway, from the day I returned onwards, I was experimenting with my cursed energy. For so many times, I can only manifest it in red color. And at the start, I can only feel my cursed energy, when I'm down.
Just a month back, I finally got my cursed energy in blue color, harnessing while being calm, and normal. And one thing I noticed is that I don't have a Cursed technique. At least as far Ias can tell, by drawing out my CE multiple times in these six months and not noticing my CT.
So, if I want to become a sorcerer, that would be someone like Kusakabe or Miwa. Of course, it's not like I wanted to become one either. At least without the Cursed technique. I couldn't do shit with just CE, I'm not Yuji with a strong body or Kusakabe with years of experience and talents in CE Manipulation. Although, there's nothing wrong with making my body stronger and learning some martial arts.
Well, with that thought, I asked Tanna-san permission to join a dojo. Specifically, a Wing Chun dojo. That's what Gojo used against Miguel if I remember correctly.
2012 Nov. 10 years old. (Dob: September 2002)
I'm 10 years old now. I can safely use my CE without any problem and I have to say I feel like I got a decent amount of it. Not necessarily heavyweight like special grade or some, but enough to be Grade 2 or semi-grade 1. But, then again, realistically, I don't know the levels, so I could be completely wrong too.
I exorcised some Grade 4 and 3 curses here and there with just pure CE. At least that's what I think they were when I compared them to the canon ones. Not necessarily powerful, but not to be ignored either. I have to say that my fighting skills helped me more than quite a bit in a couple of tight situations.
Now, though, I'm sitting near the inner shrine of Kangiten or Ganesha. Since I'm living with them, I'm helping Tanna-san in cleaning and maintenance of the Temple during weekends and holidays mornings. As I just finished cleaning the area, I sat down with a small blade and made a very small cut on the side of my forearm.
I'm trying to channel RCT to heal myself, but the attempts are so far unsuccessful. Since, I don't want my guardians to find out, lest they think I'm hurting myself. I was making my cuts where it's easily coverable.
It was then as I attempted to use RCT again for who knows how many times, it was then I noticed a spike of cursed energy near me. Very near me.
I turned around and looked at what appeared to be a glowing ball of CE near the statue of the Ganesha in the shrine. As they say, curiosity killed the cat, I moved closer and inspected the levitating glowing ball and saw a tiny Ganesha curse - from what I remembered - in it. Honestly, it looks so fucking cute.
Wait, is this what they call Metamorphosis? Like a special grade curse is born and growing? I placed my hand under the ball and it fell on my hand. It gave me quite a scare as I stumbled to catch it properly.
It was then a weird, crazy and future-changing thought occurred. 'What if, what if I can make a pact with this?' Like Toji and Geto made a pact with that one ugly-ass inventory curse in canon. Albeit, this one is a Special grade or has the potential to become one.
So, with the decision made, I channeled my cursed energy, calmy, lest I made it a bad cursed spirit ( Is that even possible?). The ball shattered and it was revealed to be a tiny Ganesha with peach color skin, just like in the Manga. It opened its eyes and looked at me for a while.
I, being me, couldn't control myself so instead of being careful, I started scratching its head with my finger. Whoa! Did it just purr, no purr is not quite the right word, but it looked like it was enjoying it. So, with a final decision made, I spoke.
"Hello, little Ganesha, or Kangiten, If you can understand me, please nod your head twice." Haha, this feels fucking weird talking to a cursed spirit based on a God-like as a pet. And would you look at that, it nodded its head twice. Little adorable guy...Ahem! Back to the topic. "I want to make a pact with you. A binding vow. Not as a master-servant pact but more of a friendship and partnership pact. Where our lives are intertwined and we fight together. If you like the agreement, please tap my hand with your four hands. We can discuss the technicalities later. Okay?"
Well, I felt four little taps on my palm, that's enough of an agreement. Just then, the sky roared, the clouds became dark and the lightning danced as the wind picked up its pace.
I felt the tug of invisible chains wrapping around me, and from what I can see from the little guy's face, he felt it too. And just as quick as the feeling came, it left.
I took the little Ganesha with me outside all the while feeding him more and more of my cursed energy. He grew up till he was the height of a basketball. And he came with his clothing too, the same as in the manga.
No way, I'm gonna let this guy go like that. Even though I'm more non-believer myself, this is like a boon from Ganesha himself, like how OP is the technique that removes the opponent's cursed technique. Or at least the concept of it. Then again, this guy was really small, in the original, he was as big as a house. 'But, since he grew up by feeding on my CE, should I feed him other cursed spirits? Hmmm, interesting theory to consider.' I thought as I placed him on my lap while rubbing his head, which he immensely liked from the blissful expression on his face.
I got lost in my thoughts again, this time, about how the binding vow took place. I honestly thought it wouldn't work. Seeing as I don't know anything about any chants or mantras. And I have to be careful about this binding vow aspect in the future. At least I sacrifice my soul without realizing it.
I looked down my lap to see the little guy sleeping. 'What! Does CS even sleep? Hmm, interesting… this feels a little too easy though.' Acquiring a CS that too with the potential to become a special grade and making a pact with it. But, now that's done? Where should I hide him? Would it be possible to dismiss him? Where would he even go? Can it be even possible? Can I hide him like Toji? Though I'd imagine being swallowed would not be pleasant. So, could I hide him like Geto or Yuta?
Looking at him again, I noticed how I didn't feel any negative aura coming from him. He's a Curse spirit, isn't he? He is not a shikigami, that's for sure.
I scratch my head in confusion. Was it because of the place of his birth? Origin?; was it because of the pact? Or if it was his nature itself that's calm?
I already have a theory of how he formed actually. Cursed spirits are born from negative energy, which itself comes from negative feelings like sadness, despair, anger, rage, helplessness, unhappiness, fear, etc..Several kinds of people come to this temple/shrine with several types of problems, they all(mostly) come here with negative energy, to pray for betterment. It could be that all their negative energy accumulated and formed into the object of their prayers i.e., Ganesha or Kangiten.
Feeling a tug on my shirt, I look down to see Ganesha look up at me. Instinctually, I realized how to dismiss him or store him in my body or my subconsciousness with the link to my CE. Which I did. Wow, now That's a different feeling. Is this how my man Naruto always feels? Of course, the thought about making a pact came from my favorite anime Naruto. How Naruto befriended the strongest-tailed beast and gained his trust. I don't want a servant or slave, I want a friend, who can be with me and can help in the field. Viseversa.
Hohoho…now I feel like a Shonen manga protagonist. Haha. "...I'm hungry" I spoke out loud hearing the growl of my stomach. Cleaning the shrine, and feeding Ganesha my CE, made me lose calories quite a bit. So, off I go, to have some breakfast.
My phone started ringing, I took it out of my pocket and looked for the contact name, it was a Blackberry Curve 9320, a present from Tanna-san for my birthday. It's Tanna-san himself calling me.
"Hello, Tanna-san? I'm at the shrine. Yeah, yeah, I'm coming, I'll be there in 10 minutes." Such a caring person, and I'm really lucky to have them as my caretakers. I started a light jog back home since everyone was waiting for me to have breakfast together.
As I entered the home and started removing my sandals, I was tackled by 2 little rockets. Aki and Anko, twin brother and sister, children of Hachijo Tanna-san and Ako-san's. They're adorable 5 year olds.
"Ren-nii, Ren-nii where did you go?" Asked Aki with his sister nodding her head in support. "I told you you take us with you, didn't I?"
Aww, they're pouting. So, cute. I gently pinched both of their cheeks and ruffled their hair, making them squawk and hold their heads with their hands.
"I didn't go anywhere special. I just went and cleaned the Temple. You know, it's so boring, that's why I didn't take you both. Now, let's go a eat. Come on, come on." I hurried them inside while I went and cleaned my hands and legs in the bathroom.
The entire Hachijo family sat at the dining table including me. The thought itself made me smile. Family. Breakfast is a quiet affair, nothing special other than some chit-chat among us. And that itself is very special.
After breakfast, I helped Ako-san a bit in cleaning the dishes. I don't want to take their guardianship for granted. And it's not like it's a big chore for me, I have experience in cleaning after myself in my previous life. After that, I played with the twins for a while, then my schoolwork. Which is quite a chore, if I have to say so myself. Then again, it's like a new experience in itself because there's quite a bit of difference in Japanese and Indian syllabi and concepts. And I'm doing most of my work in Japanese, which makes it very different from the work in English I'm used to doing; even as an elementary schooler.
After lunch, I got a bit of free time as the twins were asleep and Ako-san didn't want me to work the second time of the day. So, I left for the Temple. There's a place in the temple where people are not present. Especially afternoon. So, I walk towards it. It's the back of the compound-like wall design is filled with trees and has a small clearing. I often go there to enjoy some peace.
I summoned Ganesha again, this time I had a basketball with me. I feed some of my CE to him, making him grow up to my waist. He grows very rapidly. I gave him the ball and watched him try to play with it excitedly. I played with him for a while, throwing the ball and playing catch with it.
I lay down on the grass and looked up. I like cloud watching, there's something about it that makes me relax and feel peace. I think I got it from Shikamaru from Naruto. Not so little Ganesha is now sitting on my stomach. I was about to adjust him since he grew a bit, but then he shifted into a smaller size to be accommodated on my stomach.
'Hmmm, that's a very nifty ability he got there.' I'm still not sure if I want to be a sorcerer, but if I don't, the events gonna repeat, and I don't know what happens in the manga after chapter 263. For all I know, there could be the awakening of Merger or America nuking the entire Japan. Which I do not want to happen obviously. So, I decided, I would become a Jujutsu sorcerer. If I had to guess, I'd probably be in the same age range as Yuji and Megumi. Hmm, I'd probably be a first-year. Then again, I can take on missions if I can impress some reputed Grade 1 sorcerer and accompany them on missions way before I even join the Jujutsu High.
In a year, I have to make Ganesha reach the level of Special grade by feeding a lot of cursed spirits. Also, train with him in martial arts. He grows up to be huge, so it's a waste if he can't fight. I looked at the little guy sitting on my chest.
"Let's get Strong shall we?" and his response made me smile.
And, there, done. The actual CT of Ganesha is a bit complicated and varied based on the perspective of the reader. But in this fic, I will simplify it as best as I can. Of course, based on what you already know, it may seem a different technique. But hey! This a fanfic you can change anything.
