The Jujutsu Gossip Reporter Brings You the Latest from the Front Lines

Extra! Extra! The latest on the jujutsu world: its hidden secrets, the higher-ups' latest moves, scandals involving the Three Great Families, gossip from the two Jujutsu High campuses, secrets of Grade 1 sorcerers, and tales of curse users... All the jujutsu news you never knew you needed, right here in the Jujutsu Tabloid!

Our intrepid reporter will head straight to the front lines to bring you the hottest, freshest gossip!

Kobayashi Makoto was born into the world of jujutsu. Her family had produced plenty of Grade 1 sorcerers, but when it came to combat talent, she didn't exactly have none. She just might as well have had none at all. Her cursed technique was useless in a fight, thanks to her weak cursed energy, and her career as a sorcerer was effectively over.

After a senior recommended her for a job as a Jujutsu Tabloid reporter, she realized she had found her calling. Whenever one of her shocking stories rocked the jujutsu world, she would stand hidden behind the crowd, nudge her glasses up, and smile without a word.

But when she went snooping around the Gojo family, her perfect record of infiltrations without a single failure came to an abrupt end.

A tall, dark-haired, dark-eyed young man dragged her out of the bushes and asked what she was doing. Looking at his face, which bore an eighty percent resemblance to the young master of the Gojo family, she blurted out:

"I'm taking scandalous pictures of the young master. Want to split the profits thirty-seventy?"

"...Sure. But I get seventy, and you get thirty."

After a few seconds of thought, he agreed with a cheerful smile.

After becoming partners with Gojo-kun, her work went more smoothly than ever. The Jujutsu Tabloid's reputation kept growing, and everyone wanted to know the reporter's identity. But no one knew, except the two of them.

One day, she caught up with her buddy Gojo-kun and asked if he could take her to meet the young master of the Gojo family. Faced with his enormous question mark, she blushed and said:

"The first time I saw the young master in person, I fell in love at first sight."

"Huh...? Look at my face and say that again."

"That's different. Put white hair and blue eyes on a face like yours, and it's a completely different kind of knockout!"

Gojo-kun laughed in anger. The black hair on his head instantly turned white, and his dark eyes became as blue as the sky. He gripped her chin and gritted his teeth as he asked:

"Say that again."

Kobayashi Makoto leaned back in a tactical retreat. She couldn't understand what was happening. She was completely stunned.

"Wait, how could you possibly be the young master of the Gojo family?!"

"The young master and I have never appeared together. Why couldn't I be him?"

He said it with complete conviction, without a trace of guilt.

Please note:

1. A sudden idea that came to me during a training meeting. I thought I should try writing a secret identity story, but did I get the secret identity part wrong?

2. There will be lots of scenes where someone's secret identities are almost exposed. For why he's using secret identities, read the story, lol.

3. The heroine is a face-con: she often forgets her friends when she sees someone handsome. Her combat ability won't improve, but her character will grow.

4. It's short. Really short. It should wrap up as a short story!

5. This blurb was written on February 12, 2025. Maybe I'll start it when Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 begins...?
