A confident smile graced Gojo's face, but behind him, Yaga Masamichi's eyes flashed with red light. In just a breath's time, he used his exquisite grappling skills to utterly subdue Gojo Satoru.
Yaga Masamichi: Who were you calling an old man just now?
Gojo Satoru: S-sorry!!!
Gojo Satoru awkwardly pleaded for mercy from Yaga Masamichi. Although their strengths were on completely different levels, Yaga Masamichi was his former teacher, and he not only respected him but also genuinely feared him.
From the rubble created by the collapsed wall of Tokyo Jujutsu High, Kashimo Hajime slowly climbed out and stood up. He had been expecting a serious battle to unfold, but instead, he saw the two of them playfully bickering.
Am I... being underestimated?
Although Kashimo Hajime thought this, he wasn't angry. He didn't care about others' attitudes; what he cared about was whether his opponent's strength could give him a satisfying fight.
"You are Gojo Satoru? the strongest?" Kashimo Hajime looked at Gojo Satoru, who had just regained his ability to move after being released from Yaga Masamichi's hold, and spoke earnestly.
Gojo Satoru paused slightly upon hearing the words "the strongest," and his sister's image instantly appeared in his mind.
However, seeing the surging Cursed Energy erupting from Kashimo Hajime, and considering the atmosphere had been built up to this point, he didn't want to spoil the other party's mood. Moreover, he didn't want to stand behind his sister in his heart.
"That's right, I am the strongest."
Gojo Satoru gestured to Kashimo Hajime, indicating for him to come forward. Kashimo Hajime naturally wouldn't cower; all the electricity stored in his body surged forth, and he charged towards Gojo Satoru like lightning, throwing a punch.
Flickering electricity bloomed in the air. This punch carried an extremely powerful momentum; even the overflowing electricity that landed on the ground blasted holes into it.
But this punch was ineffective.
Kashimo Hajime's fist stopped less than a foot away from Gojo Satoru. Kashimo Hajime's powerful punch failed to break through Gojo Satoru's defense.
Kashimo Hajime's electrical attack actually has a unique guaranteed hit effect, which is to use the characteristic of positive and negative charges in the current attracting each other, giving his attack a tracking effect.
However, under the interference of Limitless Defense, even positive and negative charges cannot attract each other to collide. Therefore, Kashimo Hajime's unique guaranteed hit cannot break through Gojo Satoru's invincibility.
Although Kashimo Hajime had long been mentally prepared for this, truly witnessing this scene still made him show a look of surprise.
Of course, following that was even greater excitement.
Such an opponent is indeed the strongest!
The thunder erupting from Kashimo Hajime's body was like a restless rhapsody, and electricity shot out like lightning spears from different directions towards Gojo Satoru.
Thick smoke billowed upwards. Kashimo Hajime waved his arms to disperse the smoke surrounding him, while Gojo Satoru and Yaga Masamichi had already vanished, reappearing beneath the Tokyo Jujutsu High teaching building not far away.
"Principal Yaga, why don't you step aside for a bit?"
"You... just don't tear down Tokyo Jujutsu High."
Yaga Masamichi gave Gojo Satoru a speechless glance. He still remembered when Gojo Satoru and his sister were sparring during their student days, they accidentally demolished half of Tokyo Jujutsu High.
Although the reconstruction costs were borne by the Gojo Family, and Tokyo Jujutsu High was rebuilt in not much time, Yaga Masamichi stated that one thing is one thing. He had no doubt that if Gojo Satoru got carried away, he alone could demolish the entire Tokyo Jujutsu High.
After sending Yaga Masamichi off, Gojo Satoru finally perked up and looked at Kashimo Hajime opposite him.
If it were the Gojo Satoru from the original work, who felt the loneliness of being at the top, he might indeed get carried away during an intense battle with a strong opponent. But the Gojo Satoru standing here now would not let that happen.
Because his mindset had long been tempered by his sister; the Gojo Satoru who once stood at the peak, looking down on everything, had now raised his head and seen his sister, who trod upon the clouds.
Gojo Satoru then prepared for battle. Although from the single exchange just now he realized Kashimo Hajime didn't seem to have a way to break his defense, even so, he wouldn't casually deactivate Limitless Defense and give his opponent a chance.
Kashimo Hajime also understood that in his normal state, he probably wasn't qualified to fight the person in front of him.
I can only use that one move!
Although he had originally intended to use this move in his battle with Ryomen Sukuna, his obsession, at its core, was only to fight an absolute strongest, and he believed the person before him was worth giving his all.
Kashimo Hajime leaned forward, the lightning flashing from his body intensified, and his eyes, like those of a wild beast, fixed on Gojo Satoru.
"Cursed Technique Release: Mythical Beast Amber!"
This was the true form of Kashimo Hajime's Innate Technique. Once this Cursed Technique was activated, the surging electrical Cursed Energy would transform and assimilate Kashimo Hajime's entire body.
In the Cursed Technique Release state, Kashimo Hajime's electrical attack output would greatly increase, and he would be able to launch attacks more freely.
But the price was that after Cursed Technique Release, Kashimo Hajime's life would enter a countdown; with the end of Cursed Technique Release, Kashimo Hajime's physical body would completely collapse and become unrecognizable.
However, Kashimo Hajime cared even less about this price. As long as he could fight the strongest he had long awaited, it was enough.
After entering the Cursed Technique Release state, Kashimo Hajime leaned back, opening his mouth to take a deep breath.
And when he exhaled, what came out of his mouth was not air, but intense electrical cannonballs.
Bang!!!
Gojo Satoru's original position instantly exploded, cracks spread from that spot on the ground in all directions, and chunks of collapsing rubble splattered everywhere.
But Kashimo Hajime was surprised to find that his "Thunderball Spitfire" attack had not hit Gojo Satoru. Just as his attack was about to connect, Gojo Satoru's figure suddenly vanished.
In the Cursed Technique Release state, Kashimo Hajime's eyes scanned his surroundings like X-rays, but before he could locate Gojo Satoru, he himself appeared, emerging beside Kashimo Hajime as if in a horror movie.
Kashimo Hajime instantly sensed something amiss. He quickly turned, intending to launch an attack, but saw Gojo Satoru's fist already halfway there.
He immediately switched from offense to defense, blocking Gojo Satoru's fist with his arm. However, he was still sent flying by Gojo Satoru's heavy punch.
This was a punch imbued with "Blue"; its power was far from ordinary. But in his Cursed Technique Release state, his physical constitution was also not ordinary, so he was unharmed.
His excited gaze remained fixed on the seemingly effortless Gojo Satoru, and the electricity on his body pulsed even more intensely.
Such an opponent, well worth the 400-year wait!
