Modern AU where Ace and Sabo take care of baby brother Luffy.

Ace doesn't have his tattoo here yet. Sabo still lost his memories when they were kids, but didn't disappear and Ace helped him with his recovery.

It isn't. The amount of money is staggering for most, Noritoshi included, but the Big Three Clans were ungodly rich, generations of wealth and siphoning the money the government had given them for all sorcerers into their own coffers. Compared to that this was but a pittance, especially for all that the man in front of him has done. Yuji was instrumental in defeating Sukuna no matter what Principal Gakuganji told the rest of the world and deserved some sort of reward for it.

Unfortunately it is against Yuji's nature to accept it when he feels so guilt ridden for actions outside his control.

Fortunately, that isn't the route Noritoshi planned on taking.

"This is the same amount I offered the other survivors of the Kamo after our dissolution," he states plainly, and before Yuji could deny relations like he does any time someone connects the two beyond simply being distant cousins he continues.

"As well as recompense for those wronged by the Kamo clan."

Yuji looks uncomfortable, as uncomfortable as Noritoshi's own mother did when he brought her the same package as his final duties of the now defunct Kamo clan.

"But I was never—" Yuji starts before Noritoshi interrupts him.

"Even if you feel otherwise, Kenjaku wronged you, and your family. And it had been a Kamo—"

"Kenjaku was a lot of clans, and I doubt I'll see them do this song and dance,"Yuji rebutted.

"—as well as the reason for Kamo Choso's suffering. As his final living relative, it's my duty to see him be compensated as best as we can in this tragedy."

Yuji freezes, and that's when Noritoshi knows he's won this bout. He feels horrid, like scum (like a politician) using Choso against Yuji, but he knows the man would be glad that he was doing it in order to help his younger brother.

 Because it's not just honoring the deceased. Noritoshi has seen the writing on the walls, and knows the Gojo for the vultures they are. How perfect is it that they are the heroes of the Jujutsu world. Bright in coloration with their strongest dying to defeat the greatest evil that Jujutsu society has deigned to reveal.

The only of the Three Great Clans to stay standing with the Kamo and Zenin dissolving due to separate massacres. All their secrets kept while the other two had them thrown into the world. The enlightened winners so graciously accepting one of the two special grades left alive, and the only one uncontested in strength, despite his history because he was taught by The Honored One (conveniently ignoring that the man has also taught the other special grade, the "Kamo").

So generous to accept the blackened Zenin murderer into their home, and with her the bloodline of the Ten Shadows with the only other vector belonging to a homosexual man, alongside a sizeable dowry of all the Zenin secrets for their magnanimity in taking her in despite her deeds. Deeds that her husband has wiped off the table for recompense.

How poetic that the white haired Gojo be the shining beacon of good while the blood soaked Kamo, which to most includes the man in front of him no matter how distant the relation, are painted as the villains who helped usher in devastation. And the darkened Zenin too ignorant to see the treasure in front of them no matter how much the Gojo themselves followed many of the same beliefs.

Noritoshi is glad to be done with the world of Jujutsu politics, and will be looking for the first exit from the world he can the second it stabilizes. He simply wishes to make sure his remaining cousin, his favorite one and family of their choice, is safe once Noritoshi is gone from that sphere. 

Because without a name, and without the money from the Zenin considering how much Fushiguro used to help rebuild, pay for the dowry, and recompensated the survivors of his aunt's rampage alongside his own guilt, Yuji is in danger of being collared and leashed like an attack dog. Overworked worse than Gojo Satoru was, without any of the political power the man had that let him act however he wished.

(He doesn't believe that his juniors know how much they control. How easily they can ruin the rest of them. They are too good, too kind, he believes. But he's seen how surprisingly…traditional the couple is becoming. Listening far too attentively to men and women their beloved sensei had written off, and those who were too cowardly while their faction had desperately fought against the King of Curses, only to reap in rewards unearned. Noritoshi himself has Yuji and his mother to help him see his blindspots from being raised in such a conservative society. The latter especially opening his eyes at how event he radical Satoru Gojo is fairly conservative in the wider world. He hopes it's simply a couple who never expected nor trained to wield power taking too much advice from the generation before. And not a sign of what's to come.)

Yuji sighs, and quietly agrees.

"Choso deserves better, but he would want me to keep it," he says begrudgingly, unhappy but knowing the words are correct.

Good, now for part two.

Noritoshi brings another eight folders out of his bag. Each of them with a different entitlement and recompense from the Kamo clan.

Kamo Eso. Kamo Kechizu. Kamo Noranso. Kamo Sho-oso. Kamo Tanso. Kamo Sanso. Kamo Kotsuso. And  Kamo Shoso.

My blue girls 🥹🩵 Mis chicas azules!! Bonus below!

Losing confidence in Himself, G-d became an atheist. He decided to go down to Earth, to walk among humans and see how they found meaning.

He wandered the world until he came to a town, where he happened upon a pastor. "Come to our church this Sunday!" said the pastor. But G-d shook his head. "I don't believe in G-d anymore," he told the pastor sullenly. "And besides, I really shouldn't be working weekends." . . .

bonus/proof:

One of my biggest projects - an entire Hydrapple, with all the syrpents included! There's toothpicks in the main head's horns for rigidity, while every syrpent has armature wire inside them for poseability. And...

...that includes the two tail syrpents! All six syrpents other than the main one are completely removable along with the apple top, which has little hooks to hold it in place when it's on there. The apple base also has a plastic pot inside it, to help it hold all that weight.

The one thing they can't do is fold the bonus heads flat against the apple like the ingame model does, but they can get... some of the way there? although it does require something of a Noodle Vortex on the inside for all those tails to still fit in the apple.

Very proud of these good apple noodle friends and how well they turned out!
