She looked at Yuji giving him a gentle smile, mouthing to him "everyone will be okay"

She then looked at Sukuna

"Baby love... What do feel for him"

This question momentarily startled everyone

"I don't get it, auntie"

He said still confused

"I asked what do you feel for him? Do you resent him? Do you dislike him? Do you hate him?"

Yuji heard her out before looking back at the thing that lived in his body for so many months.

He thought about it long and hard, staring at those red pupils full of hate and blood lust, he thought about all the time this person tried to harm his friends, let his friends die in front of his eyes when he could stop it, the times he kept him awake all night just blabbering poison about the world

It all felt nasty. As if looking at this being made his skin crawl

"I don't like him... But I don't hate him either..."

As soon as he said this, everyone snapped their head at them, looking at Yuji with pure disbelief,some even disappointed. Even Sukuna looked like he didn't expect that answer

But what made Yuji the most confused that his aunt began to giggle. She looked happy, as if she'd achieved something precious

She replied with a smile at his questioning gaze

"Say baby love, till now did you ever hate anyone in all your life?"

Her question got him confused again

"What are you asking Sakura? This is not the time to-

Geto started only to stop when she looked at him with a disapproving look

"I think it's best if you stay out of this, senpai. We don't need you or want you now. It's a conversation between me and my nephew "

She said and for the first time in years, her voice was cold. Like she was talking to a person she really didn't like

She looked back at Yuji, encouraging him to say something

He gulped and shook his head no

"No, I don't think so. I have never hated someone in my life"

Her smile only Brightened with his words

She gently stroked his head

"I know... Because you're a part of us"

His eyes widened a bit as he tilted his head. He didn't understand what she meant at all

She hummed and looked at Sukuna

"Even though this man took so much from you, treated you so bad, gave you all the reasons in the world for you to hate him, you don't... It only shows how loving you are. How big and forgiving your heart is"

She explained with a smile before taking a deep breath

"You know baby, there is a reason why the Kanroji clan is so well respected... You know why?"

He shook his head no

She hummed, making herself comfortable with the sitting position

"Because we don't have hate in our hearts. We are unable to feel this emotion"

Yuji looked visibly surprised. A small gasp left his mouth. He put a bit of pressure on his head he could relate... He'd never felt hate before in life

This revolution left him astonished

She just smiled, knowing he's going through the same emotions she went through years ago

But unlike her, Yuji would have a support system who'd help him sort out all these emotions. She'll make sure of that. He'll never be alone like she was

So she looked forward, a contant smile on her face

"Kanroji Mitsuri, our ancestor, she was an incredible woman. She never felt hate before and was the only hashira who made breathing technique based on a emotion... It only proved the strongest emotion she had, the strongest emotion we have now... And that's love"

She said, looking up at the sealing

"What is this woman! Why did you bring me? To tell me about your family history?"

Sukuna said, his voice sheathing with venom

Her eyes flickered towards his but her smile didn't falter once. She still had those eyes filled with kindness and generosity

"Give me a minute, Sukuna-sama... Just a moment"

He soft voice kinda made Sukuna a little confused. He felt calm tho, a lot calmer than he felt before

She went back to Yuji

"All the other breathing techniques were based on elements of nature... Stone, water, fire, sun, moon and many more... Except Kanroji Mitsuri's breathing style that she created"

Yuji didn't say anything, just listened to her in awe. He always thought about his heritage and family history. He knew he was from a respected clan but he didn't know any history about his current clan

So hearing his aunt talk about it was just pure Bliss

"She had so much love in her heart that she even had Iguro Obanai, a person who had a hate filled heart her husband. She changed him and made him believe in love"

After telling this, she looked back at Yuji

"You know why I'm telling you this?"

Yuji shook his head again, though this time, his eyes had this look of curiosity in his eyes

Her smile widened

"This why we Kanrojis cant feel hate. We can dislike, we can hold resentment towards the ones who wronged us, but we can't ever feel hate. No matter what they did to us"

This lines were something she wanted yuji to know, she wanted him to know all this and be proud of the person he is, just like she's proud of him

She smiled at him

"I'm telling you this because after me, you'll be the one to pass down this trade. I was told this by my mother, your grandma, and now you'll tell this to the future generations "

A joyful giggle left her throat

"This is my power. I can love with everything I have."

Her eyes flickered towards those crystal blue eyes that she always loved so much, thinking of old days

It was pitiful. Pitiful how it all ended, how they ended. Or maybe, it was just her imagination and there was a never them. But that day when it all ended, she got the push to be the person she is to, so she didn't blame them

She looked back at Yuji

"Because even though love is the most twisted curse of all time, I'll continue worshipping it till my last breath"

She then looked back at Sukuna, the same smile on her face

"Because in all my life, I've never felt hate for anyone. My love was strong enough to make me wanna live in this world in the toughest times.... Because I am the reincarnation of Kanroji Mitsuri"

This claim startled the unknown two in the room, lady Tamoyo audibly gasped and Yoshiro looked pale as a gosht. Their eyes filled with tears, shock and disbelief

But Kana didn't stop there

"In both of my life's, I've never hated anyone, this makes me who i am "

She raised her hand and covered half of her face, her lone eyes still staring at Sukuna's Ruby colored eyes

"Because love is my strength...

Domain expention.... This is endless love"

Everyone felt the dull room lit up with light, bright pink light surrounded them. Sukuna's shackles broke into pieces, making everyone alerted

While everyone was getting ready for a battle, Kana just sat there with a soft smile on her face

She raised her hand, telling the males in the room to stop. Of course, they complaid

She stood up and to everyones horror, started to go closer to Sukuna

A free from all shackles Sukuna

Their was no restrictions and he could kill her

Before she could go much farther, she felt someone grabbing her waist from behind. Soon she was pulled away to a firm chest

"You can't do this, Sakura. He's gonna kill you"

She sighed hearing the voice. She gently grabbed his arms that were wrapped around her and untangled herself

Looking up she was met by his deep grey eyes. She internally sighed, thinking to herself how possibly he could still make her heart go crazy like this...

It's been years and she should've moved on. She knows he's never gonna be hers, yet this stupid heart of hers couldn't take no for an answer

"I'll find, Nanami senpai... I know what I'm doing... You'll be surprised to know how I'm not so useless anymore"

She couldn't really describe the look he gave him when she said this... She didn't understand. Why did he look like he was physically in pain, like she'd ripped his heart out. Maybe it was just her eyes playing games

She started to walk towards Sukuna even after everyone's protest

She didn't stop until she was sitting right Infront of him
