Jujutsu High, at the foot of Mt. Yan.
"Gojo."
"Hm?"
Satoru Gojo, still scanning their surroundings, looked at Suguru Geto.
"Good work."
Suguru Geto, hands on his hips, spoke gently.
"Sigh."
Satoru Gojo sighed, then feigned a relaxed tone to change the subject.
At the same time, the Six Eyes beneath his sunglasses ceased their faint blue glow.
The bounty on the black market had expired.
Moreover, they had already entered the heavily protected Jujutsu High grounds, sealed by a barrier.
The escort mission was practically complete.
However, the darkest hour of the day is just before dawn.
To everyone's disbelief, A sharp blade pierced Satoru Gojo's chest.
Satoru Gojo retaliated immediately.
Suguru Geto also released a cursed spirit, swallowing Toji Fushiguro whole.
"Gojo!"
After the Worm Cursed Spirit swallowed Toji Fushiguro, Suguru Geto rushed towards the injured Satoru Gojo.
"I'm fine. I dodged the vital organs and protected myself with cursed energy in time."
As he spoke, Satoru Gojo, kneeling on one knee, explained while standing up.
Satoru Gojo didn't want Suguru Geto to worry.
As he got up, Satoru Gojo used the analogy of a needle piercing a sweater.
"More importantly, you should protect Amanai and the others and take them to Master Tengen."
'Gojo.'
Suguru Geto sensed Satoru Gojo's forced bravery.
But looking at Riko Amanai and Misato Kuroi beside them, their faces etched with worry, he knew Satoru Gojo's proposal was indeed the best course of action.
"Be careful."
With that, Suguru Geto took Riko Amanai and Misato Kuroi towards Kurokoshi-gu.
At the same time, Toji Fushiguro, spitting out Uraume from his mouth, also drew the Soul Release Blade, slicing Suguru Geto's Worm Cursed Spirit into pieces.
He had used ordinary knives earlier to prevent the cursed energy emanating from the cursed tool from being detected by the Six Eyes.
Now that the surprise attack had succeeded, although he hadn't killed Satoru Gojo instantly, he had indeed inflicted damage.
Fatigue and pain would continuously affect Satoru Gojo's condition in the upcoming battle.
"Did the Star Plasma Vessel brat escape?"
Toji Fushiguro scanned his surroundings with his eyes.
At this moment, Satoru Gojo was wondering where Toji Fushiguro got the cursed tool and cursed spirit from.
"The bounty expired, idiot."
"Ah, that. I was the one who canceled it."
Toji Fushiguro wore a smug expression.
"If I hadn't set an expiration date for the bounty, you wouldn't have canceled your cursed technique until the very end, would you?"
Although Amaterasu could forcibly deactivate Infinity and thus harm Satoru Gojo.
However, Amaterasu was a Special Grade cursed tool.
In an environment where there was nothing around, the cursed energy it emitted could not escape the observation of the Six Eyes.
"Ah, is that so? Then bring it on."
Confirming that this fight was unavoidable, Satoru Gojo broke into an excited and wild grin.
He hadn't encountered an enemy of this caliber in a long time.
'Fast. Then...'
Satoru Gojo raised his hands, and the maximum output Cursed Technique: Blue, under his command, destroyed everything obstructing his vision.
Instantly, the area around Satoru Gojo, dozens of meters wide, was cleared of any obstructions.
'A clever tactic, but...'
Toji Fushiguro, hiding in the woods, patted Uraume.
Understanding Toji Fushiguro's intent, Uraume opened its mouth, and a large number of Fly Heads flew out.
Thousands of Fly Heads swarmed around Satoru Gojo.
The Six Eyes' observational ability was greatly hampered.
Satoru Gojo prepared to use a second Blue to clear the Fly Heads, but the next moment, he suddenly realized something.
Why aren't they attacking.
If the goal of these Fly Heads was to interfere with my vision, why didn't they seize the opportunity to attack?
These Fly Heads would be destroyed by me if they didn't attack soon.
Satoru Gojo paused his movement to cast Blue.
The bounty on Riko Amanai was posted by him. His target from the very beginning was Riko Amanai!
Realizing this, Satoru Gojo immediately turned to head for Kurokoshi-gu.
However, the instant Satoru Gojo turned, Toji Fushiguro appeared behind him.
I fell for it.
The Cursed Tool in Toji Fushiguro's hand had been switched to Amaterasu.
Unaware of Amaterasu's abilities, Satoru Gojo had no time to make any further moves and could only strengthen his Infinity defense.
The next moment, Infinity was forcibly interrupted, and Amaterasu pierced Satoru Gojo's neck.
Satoru Gojo wanted to counterattack.
Having gained the initiative, Toji Fushiguro naturally wouldn't give him a chance, and a series of skillful combos sent Satoru Gojo to the brink of death.
"Finally getting my feel back."
Toji Fushiguro turned and walked towards Kurokoshi-gu.
At this moment, an indescribable satisfaction surged in Toji Fushiguro's heart – the satisfaction of crushing the Jujutsu World that looked down on him under his feet.
Shortly after Toji Fushiguro left, a figure appeared where Satoru Gojo had fallen.
Heroic Spirit Emiya looked at the battered Satoru Gojo and placed a red gem on him.
Although he trusted Eiji's information and knew this was Satoru Gojo's chance to awaken, his kind heart couldn't let go of his worry for Satoru Gojo.
The gem emitted a red light, healing the fatal wounds on Satoru Gojo's neck and forehead.
Next, Heroic Spirit Emiya dematerialized and disappeared again.
Inside Kurokoshi-gu, Suguru Geto voiced Riko Amanai's deepest desire.
"Pass through the gate, and at the base of that large tree, there's a special Barrier different from Jujutsu High. Master Tengen will protect you there until the assimilation is complete, or... you can turn back now and go home with Misato."
Seeing Riko Amanai's incredulous expression, Suguru Geto slowly revealed the decision he and Satoru Gojo had made.
Even if it meant opposing Master Tengen, they would protect Riko Amanai.
"I..."
Tears welled up in Riko Amanai's eyes, her voice gradually choking.
"After all, I want to be with everyone, I want to be with everyone..."
The next moment, Riko Amanai lost consciousness.
Suguru Geto stared in shock at the man who appeared behind Riko Amanai.
Toji Fushiguro reached out a hand and grabbed the unconscious Riko Amanai.
"Why, why are you here?"
Suguru Geto asked in disbelief.
Satoru Gojo lost?
This was the answer Suguru Geto had realized but dared not believe.
"Leave Riko's side."
Suguru Geto immediately attacked Toji Fushiguro, trying to reclaim Riko Amanai.
Toji Fushiguro retreated, carrying Riko Amanai in his left hand, and repelled Suguru Geto with a knife in his right.
Behind Suguru Geto, the Rainbow Dragon, the Slit-Mouthed Woman, and a Special Grade Demon Cursed Spirit appeared.
Toji Fushiguro seemed to completely disregard Suguru Geto's actions.
"Hey! I've got this kid. How do you want to kill them? I forgot, you had too many requests."
There's still an enemy!
Suguru Geto immediately realized this.
"Oh my, how did you sense I was here?"
Seeing this, Medea no longer hid and appeared generously in front of the two.
Although there were conflicts among the people present, they would all become companions in the future.
Kenjaku did not enter Kurokoshi-gu. When Toji Fushiguro defeated Satoru Gojo, Kenjaku met his opponent.
As for Master Tengen? Don't worry about this thousand-year-old shut-in.
Suguru Geto and Satoru Gojo were both ready to fight Master Tengen, so why bother with her?
"I don't know, I just tried it, and you came out on your own."
