"Hmm?"
The newborn Naruto seemed to sense something. He slowly opened his eyes and immediately met Itadori Kaori's gaze.
Their eyes met, and they both saw emotions that shouldn't appear in the other's eyes. Then they both froze.
Naruto saw Itadori Kaori's gaze, and a thought immediately surfaced in his mind:
'Is this my mama in this world? Why does she feel so evil?'
Although Naruto was born with consciousness, it was a new body after all. He had lost consciousness for a while due to overexertion during birth, so he didn't "see" Itadori Kaori cruelly killing the doctors and nurses who delivered her after giving birth and then leaving the hospital delivery room with "weird" abilities.
He only felt a very evil aura from this "mama" of his now. He even felt that this "mama" of his didn't seem human!
"Hehe!~"
Itadori Kaori suddenly laughed when she saw Naruto's gaze, then asked the Naruto in her arms,
"What are you?"
Although she didn't know what was going on, she had just seen emotions in the eyes of the infant in her arms that absolutely shouldn't appear in the eyes of a newborn infant.
This made her even more certain that the child she had given birth to was definitely not a normal human, and quite possibly not human at all!
This also made Itadori Kaori even more interested in the child in her arms.
"..."
Naruto's eyes flickered slightly when he heard Itadori Kaori's words. Then he struggled to open his mouth, trying to say something, but only made "Eeyore" (yiyiyaya) sounds.
"Can't speak?"
Itadori Kaori was first stunned by the sounds coming from Naruto's mouth, then pondered thoughtfully for a while. Just as she was about to continue asking, her expression suddenly changed, and she sharply turned her head to look toward the left.
There, a woman was slowly riding a lady's motorcycle toward her. When Itadori Kaori clearly saw the woman's appearance, her expression immediately became ugly.
"Yo!~"
The woman on the motorcycle stopped a few meters away from Itadori Kaori, then waved at her with a smile, greeting her brightly:
"Miss Cursed Spirit over there, where did you get the child in your arms? Can you hand him over to me?"
"Special Grade Sorcerer Yuki Tsukumo!"
Itadori Kaori looked at the smiling young woman not far away, a hint of solemnity flashing in her eyes. Then she smiled and said,
"I didn't expect to meet a Special Grade Sorcerer from Jujutsu High in a place like this. What bad luck. But this child is my son, born from my belly, so I can't give him to you."
'Cursed Spirit? Jujutsu Sorcerer?'
Naruto, held in Itadori Kaori's arms, heard their conversation and immediately realized that this "mama" who was holding him was actually not human, but a creature called a "Cursed Spirit"!
As for the Jujutsu Sorcerer over there, it was probably a human profession similar to the Demon Slayer Corps members who specialized in hunting demons in the first virtual world.
However, Naruto suddenly thought—if he was born from a "Cursed Spirit" in this world, then was he still considered human? Even in a virtual world, Naruto didn't want to be a monster!
"Oh? You know me? It seems you're not an ordinary Cursed Spirit!~"
Yuki Tsukumo's face showed a hint of surprise when she heard Itadori Kaori's words. Then she smiled and said,
"I was just passing by, and I didn't expect to meet someone interesting. But since I've met you, I can't pretend I didn't see you. How troublesome!
I don't want to fight right now, so will you hand over the child to me and turn around and leave, or do you want me to kill you and then pick up the child from your corpse?
Hmm, Cursed Spirits don't leave corpses after being exorcised, do they—"
Saying this, Yuki Tsukumo took off her helmet, got off the motorcycle with a pained expression, then looked at Itadori Kaori, tossing her hair, and asked with a smile, "So, Miss Cursed Spirit, what's your choice?"
"Kill me? Hehe!~"
Itadori Kaori's eyes filled with a hint of anger when she heard Yuki Tsukumo's words. Then she said with a mocking tone,
"As expected of the Jujutsu world's only female Special Grade in this era, you're indeed overly confident.
But you expect me to hand over my 'child' just with a 'threat'? I can't do that!~"
"Your child? Ha, don't joke, Cursed Spirit!~"
Yuki Tsukumo's smile faded when she heard Itadori Kaori's words. She raised her hand and pointed at the child in her arms, saying in a deep voice,
"Although I don't know why you're wearing a human body, that foul smell on you is definitely that of a Cursed Spirit.
But the child in your arms is undoubtedly human. Even if you're wearing a human body, it's absolutely impossible to give birth to a child with such a pure human 'scent'.
And—"
Yuki Tsukumo pinched her fingers, tying up her long, flowing hair, and stared at Itadori Kaori with a stern gaze.
"If you really think my words just now were a 'threat' to you, then from now on, hold the child in your arms tightly. Don't relax, and don't blink, so he doesn't fall to the ground!"
After she finished speaking, a strange arthropod creature appeared out of thin air around Yuki Tsukumo. Immediately after, a powerful aura erupted from her body, and the immense pressure made the surrounding air feel much heavier.
"This aura—"
Itadori Kaori felt the powerful aura emanating from Yuki Tsukumo, and her heart immediately sank. She subconsciously took a step back, then smiled and said,
"As expected of the youngest Special Grade of this era. It seems fighting you is not a wise decision."
"Then leave the child and get lost from my sight!"
Yuki Tsukumo said coldly, then suddenly remembered something and added,
"Oh, right—the youngest Special Grade Sorcerer? That won't be me for much longer."
If she hadn't been worried about the child in the other party's arms, she would have already made a move!
"Alas!~"
Itadori Kaori sighed, ignoring the latter half of Yuki Tsukumo's words. She looked at Naruto in her arms and said with a regretful tone,
"Child, you heard it. It's not Mama abandoning you; it's just that circumstances are beyond my control, so I can only temporarily inconvenience you."
After speaking, she directly threw Naruto toward Yuki Tsukumo.
She knew Naruto could understand her words, and her meaning was to tell him that she was only temporarily handing him over out of necessity, and that she would come back for him later.
"Whoa!~"
Yuki Tsukumo cried out in surprise, carefully catching the thrown Naruto. By the time she had a firm hold on him, Itadori Kaori had already disappeared.
"Alas!~"
Yuki Tsukumo sighed as her aura receded. Then she looked at Naruto in her arms with curiosity. Just as she was about to reach out to play with him, she suddenly heard Itadori Kaori's voice echoing from the night sky:
"Yuki Tsukumo, that child's name is Naruto."
"Itadori Naruto!"
