The twins {243}

Keitaro made his way to the bathroom. He wanted to clean his body from the dirt currently on it. Plus, he was quite sweaty from the tennis game, so it never hurt for him to just take a bath and stop stinking all over the place.

He stepped into the bathroom and turned on the faucet, letting the hot water cascade into the tub, the steam rising to fill the room.

He stripped himself of his torn clothes before sinking into the warm water with a sigh, he could feel his muscle relax the second he was in there.

While he lay in the tub, he thought about how life had been treating him lately, without paying much attention really, he slipped the ring off of his ring finger and placed it somewhere close by.

He sighed a bit, feeling the natural energy in the water, helping his body relax, he felt completely relaxed.

He started scrubbing himself off, took him a bit, 5 or so minutes give or take, he could have probably done it sooner but Keitaro was in no rush, a hot bath was the best.

Today was not one of the days, he took a cold shower.

As he emerged from the bath, he felt refreshed. He dried himself off quickly using a towel and dressed himself up in a simple black shirt and pants.

He then slipped his ring back on, he just felt like it needed to be there.

After getting dressed and making sure his ring was on, he made his way toward the workshop.

He found the batch of pills neatly sat in a wooden container on the counter, glowing faintly.

Shoko probably was the one who arranged them like this.

How sweet of her.

Keitaro carefully placed the container into a small leather satchel and slung it over his shoulder.

As he was about to leave, his gaze landed on Akane, his 8-tail kitsune companion.

Her tail flicking in the breeze as she appeared by his side

"You're coming along?" he asked.

Akane let out a soft chuff, her amber eyes gleaming. She didn't need to speak; her presence was enough to signal her intent to accompany him.

Well to the Zenin clan they went.

Time skip.

As Keitaro got close, he could see it, the Zenin clan compound.

From what he could see, it was a traditional architecture that was bathed in the golden light of the setting sun. Two guards could be seen.

They were probably part of the Kukuru unit, though the second they saw him, it seemed like their inner bootlicking mode was activated.

"Keitaro-san," one of them greeted warmly, bowing slightly. "Naobito-sama is expecting you."

"Thanks," Keitaro replied with a nod, stepping past them into the compound.

There was no need for anything formal, he was just here to deliver the batch and nothing more.

He could see some kids training, though he wondered why they were training in the open... Hmm, so the Zenin clan was truly like he thought it was.

On the day he was visiting, suddenly all the kids with potential were training outside, he could see a boy, roughly around his age training.

That was projection sorcery alright....probably Naoya.

Though he wasn't really interested, the man Atma felt...dark and lustful, and for some reason, he could smell the misogyny from here. He felt like if this was man were to be killed by a woman, he would come back to life as a curse out of sheer misogyny.

As he got close to the main hall, he stopped. His gaze was drawn to a figure standing alone in a nearby garden, a girl around Megumi's age who was a year or two older than him.

Unable to control his curiosity, he walked closely to where he felt her presence.

There, he saw it.

2 girls, probably twins, both having green hair, one of them being scared because of a curse that was there, the other could not see the curse for some odd reason.

oh...a heavenly restriction... Keitaro could see the chain around the girl's body and a small link between her and the other girl.

So they were twins.

As he took one step forward, he felt it.

A ripple of aw, untapped nature energy, the ratio of it was something along the line of 7/1, so much of it, yet it was being restricted.

The feeling felt raw and primal...this feeling was familiar.

Toji.

Dam, it hadn't been that long since the man died and yet the Zenin clan had produced another prodigy like that.

How fun.

He would make sure to keep an eye on them, if she does jujutsu high, he wouldn't mind teaching her a thing or two about natural energy.

She and her sister were welcomed.

Keitaro could feel that Naobito had noticed his little interest, he could already feel the offer coming.

He sighed to himself, how would Shoko react when he came back home with 2 girls...he sighed to himself, he probably could explain his way out of it.

Plus he was rich, not like 2 more mouths to feed was anything scary.
