I Play Ninjutsu in Jujutsu Kaisen!

"You can do that?"

Kirara Hoshi was utterly speechless. He hadn't expected his foolproof Cursed Technique to meet its match. Now that his technique had been completely figured out, he was as useless as a broken tool.

The rest would have to be left to Yuta Okkotsu, his junior.

He released his Cursed Technique, and the pebble attached to Todo Aoi fell to the ground. Kirara turned to Yuta and said, "Sorry, my Cursed Technique was broken. I'll have to leave it to you, junior."

Yuta nodded. "Yeah, I know. But senior, you did your best. There's no need to blame yourself. I wasted the opportunity you created."

"Good that you know. Then make up for your mistake properly," Kirara Hoshi said with a smile. He had been in this situation before. As a first-year, not everyone was like Hiraku, who was outwardly kind and thoughtful but also a battle maniac.

This assessment might not be popular, but it was how he felt.

Todo Aoi, sensing the release of the Cursed Technique, let go of the dog in his hands and twisted his neck, walking towards the two.

He had already made contact with the number 2. Even if his Cursed Technique was reactivated later, he would still be able to touch them. What he needed to do now was defeat them and await the final battle with his best friend.

He couldn't let yesterday's disappointment linger. He declared, "If you're not coming, then I'm coming over!"

With that, Cursed Energy instantly covered his entire body. He clapped his hands together, instantly swapping positions with Yuta Okkotsu, and threw a punch at Kirara Hoshi.

Kirara Hoshi seemed to anticipate this. His scrawny body was instantly covered in Cursed Energy, and he crossed his arms to block. Watching the incoming fist, he inwardly sighed, "Maybe... I should work out more often."

"Bang!"

The blow landed. Kirara Hoshi gritted his teeth. His crossed arms felt like they were about to snap, making cracking sounds. In an instant, he was sent flying backward by the immense force.

His back slammed hard against the wall, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Senior!!"

Yuta Okkotsu's pupils contracted. Although he knew that killing was forbidden in the competition, he still lamented his current weakness. If only he were as strong as Maki Zenin, Panda, Toge Inumaki, or Hiraku.

No... I will surpass them. Only then can I protect them all.

"Let's have a great fight, Yuta...!"

Rika Orimoto, sensing the change in Yuta, emerged as a phantom from the ring and said.

"Ah! Let's have a great fight! I won't be cowardly anymore."

Yuta Okkotsu seemed like a different person. The immense Cursed Energy within him surged outwards, filling the surroundings, making the air incredibly oppressive.

Asura, who had been unconscious nearby, felt a deathly aura and his fur stood on end. He instantly woke up.

Kento Nanami, who had finally caught the "rat," also felt the surge of Cursed Energy. The word "Special Grade" immediately flashed through his mind. Fearing an accident, he rushed over.

Hiraku, who had been meditating on the ground to recover his Cursed Energy, also opened his eyes and looked into the distance, sighing, "Rika is out... Looks like Todo is going to have a tough time."

"What the hell is this terrifying Cursed Energy? Special Grade!"

Noritoshi Kamo, who was chasing the rat, looked at Momo Nishinomiya in the sky and shouted, "Go see what's going on!"

"Understood!"

Momo Nishinomiya glanced at the distant source of Cursed Energy and swallowed. He had never seen such a vast amount of Cursed Energy before. It felt stronger than the principal's.

"Notify all sorcerers above quasi-Grade 1 within the school to mobilize and surround and kill the Special Grade Cursed Spirit, Rika Orimoto's host, Yuta Okkotsu!"

In the principal's office, Yoshinobu Gakuganji, watching the screen, crushed the cane in his hand and shouted at the teachers.

Upon hearing that it was a Special Grade Cursed Spirit, everyone's expression turned serious, and they left the principal's office directly.

Yoshinobu Gakuganji looked at Yuta Okkotsu on the screen and said, "Rules are rules. If we don't kill him, he'll be too much of a threat to future society."

"Oh dear, this is going to be hard to clean up. That old man will probably kill Yuta, right?"

Gojo Satoru removed his legs from the desk and moved the bound Utahime Iori to his seat. "I'm going out for a bit. Sit here and don't move. I'll be back soon."

"Do you know what you're doing? Saving him once is one thing, but the higher-ups will hunt you. You can't protect him forever."

Facing Utahime's questioning, Gojo Satoru replied with a smile, "If those old geezers dare to do that, I'll make their heads take a different place to live. He's my student. Whether he's dealt with or not is my problem."

With that, Gojo Satoru opened the window and flew out.

Inside the labyrinth.

Todo Aoi felt immense pressure from the surging Cursed Energy. He inwardly cursed himself for not looking at their profiles. This was on a completely different level than he was used to.

"Thank you, Rika. I will defeat him."

Yuta Okkotsu walked towards Todo Aoi, holding his long sword. Under the pressure of the Cursed Energy, the space became silent, and his footsteps echoed in the dead end.

Oppressive, oppressive, oppressive!

It felt as if the sky had turned dark. Todo Aoi's heart pounded as he watched Yuta Okkotsu approach. Whether it was fear or excitement, the strong opponent he craved had appeared!

This made him burst into maniacal laughter. "Hahaha, you fit my taste perfectly, Yuta Okkotsu! From today on, you are my rival!"

With that, Todo Aoi clapped his hands together, instantly swapping positions with the terrified, trembling Asura beside him, and threw a punch!

Yuta Okkotsu didn't look back, but the scattered Cursed Energy had already sensed Todo Aoi's incoming punch. Like a cunning rabbit, he instantly lowered his stance and swung his sword.

His speed was so great that his sword had already been swung, but a residual image of him remained standing in place.

"So fast!"

Todo Aoi was greatly alarmed, but he managed to dodge the attack with his extremely sharp reflexes. Touching the cut on his waist, he began to pant with excitement.

I was so close... so close to being broken.

I haven't felt this way in a long time. That mix of fear and excitement... ah... it feels so good!

"Next..."

Todo, snapping back to reality, was about to counterattack when he saw Yuta Okkotsu already swinging his blade.

Rika Orimoto cackled from the side, "Kill... Kill him! Yuta!"

Hearing the word "kill," Yuta instantly reacted. He realized he was being swept up by the intense curse and immediately retracted his blade, dodging past Todo Aoi.

He said to Rika Orimoto, "We can't kill people. Our goal is to defeat him."

"Can't kill...?"

"No!"

"Okay... Yuta, don't be angry."

"No, I'm not angry," Yuta Okkotsu shook his head. "With you here, how could I be angry? Let's defeat him together."

As he spoke, he gripped the sword in his hand, and cursed energy once again covered the blade.

Todo Aoi didn't dare to be careless either. He had been distracted for a mere moment, less than 0.2 seconds. He had almost lost his head from his neck; the speed was so fast it was like fighting a different person.

However... as expected of a worthy opponent. To maintain his composure amidst such powerful resentment, I thought I was going to die.

"Sorry, I lost my head for a moment. Let's continue with our second round of battle."

In response to Yuta Okkotsu's apology, Todo Aoi resumed his attacking stance and said, "It's fine, I was the one who was careless. Let's start our second round, worthy opponent!"

With that, Todo Aoi's cursed energy erupted within him. His eyes locked onto Yuta Okkotsu before him. After taking a deep breath, he stepped forward.

The ground cracked, and he covered ten meters in an instant, throwing a direct punch at Yuta Okkotsu's chest.

"His speed got faster!"

Yuta Okkotsu instinctively blocked, but the moment his fist made contact, cursed energy erupted in black, as if space itself had warped, forcibly breaking through his arm defense.

He was directly slammed into the chest!

"Black Flash!"

Todo Aoi threw a punch. This move was his admiration for a worthy opponent. After all, he wouldn't even use this against his best friend; not out of contempt, but because the lethality was too great and could lead to accidents.

But against him, he absolutely could!

"Cough! Ah... that hurts."

Yuta Okkotsu, sent flying dozens of meters, knelt on the ground and spat out blood. That punch had truly hurt. If not for his body being reinforced by his almost "infinite" cursed energy, he might have been blown through.

"Now is not the time to rest, worthy opponent!"

Todo Aoi's voice echoed. Looking up, Todo had already thrown another punch.

Enduring the pain in his chest, Yuta Okkotsu got up and swung his sword.

"Clang!"

Upon collision, the blade shattered. It was as fragile as brittle glass. Todo Aoi warned, "You injected too much cursed energy. The blade, as a vessel, couldn't withstand it, worthy opponent."

After saying that, he threw a punch at Yuta's face. He didn't use Black Flash, just a simple punch. After all, he had held back earlier, so it was only fair.

For Todo Aoi, he would generously teach anyone he could teach what he knew. His goal was for his opponent to become stronger, and then fight him again.

Yuta Okkotsu, after rolling a couple of times on the ground, wiped the blood flowing from his nose and said, "Thank you, I understand."

"Okay, let's continue."

"Gojo Satoru! What are you doing? Yuta Okkotsu is on the verge of going berserk right now, he must be executed!"

At this moment, Yoshinobu Gakuganji, shedding his previous appearance of an old man in a kimono with a cane, was now wearing a black t-shirt and holding an electric guitar, his tone filled with a bit of passion.

"It's nothing, I'm just stopping you all here. I have two suggestions for you."

Standing in the sky, looking down on everyone, Gojo Satoru raised his right hand and said, "1. I'll take you all down. 2. Be sensible and lie down on the ground. Only I can handle my students."

Facing the arrogant Gojo Satoru, the crowd below exchanged glances. They couldn't make up their minds for a moment, especially since they were employed at the Kyoto Prefectural Jujutsu High School.

However, they dared not make a move against Gojo Satoru's threat. After all, the title of "Strongest" rested upon him. Although no one knew his true strength, that very title of "Strongest" weighed heavily on their hearts.

"Are you serious?" Yoshinobu Gakuganji stared intently at Gojo Satoru in the sky, seemingly wanting to test his true strength.

"Of course. I won't kill you. If you want to challenge the title of the strongest, you're welcome to come at me all at once." Gojo Satoru said, then landed on the ground and beckoned them with his finger.

"Attack! If you can touch Gojo Satoru even once, your bonus this month will triple, and your hospital fees will be covered."

As soon as Yoshinobu Gakuganji finished speaking, the three quasi-Grade 1 sorcerers present at the school exchanged glances and then pulled out their respective cursed tools.

As the principal, Yoshinobu Gakuganji naturally set the example. Holding his electric guitar, he walked forward. His fingers lightly strummed the strings, and the cursed energy within him began to stir with the rhythm.

"Buzzz!"

As he strummed the strings again, the sound amplified tenfold, like it was coming from a speaker, deafening. Four blades of cursed energy shot towards Gojo Satoru, swift and fierce.

But they couldn't get close to Gojo Satoru. This was within Yoshinobu Gakuganji's expectations. He then strummed the strings violently again, and countless blades of cursed energy appeared from all directions, launching a no-holds-barred assault on Gojo Satoru.

After three breaths, Yoshinobu Gakuganji stopped strumming and looked at the thick smoke in front of him, knowing that it wouldn't have any effect on Gojo Satoru. He said, "Charge!"

"Yes!"

Three sorcerers grabbed their cursed tools and rushed forward. In an instant, before they could even activate their cursed techniques, they were instantly killed by Gojo Satoru, who wasn't harmed at all.

He kicked all three of them away simultaneously, his speed so fast that even Yoshinobu Gakuganji, who was watching, couldn't react.

He truly lived up to his name as the strongest. He slaughtered Grade 1 sorcerers like he was killing dogs.

Yoshinobu Gakuganji didn't know what to say at this point. He felt like the two were creatures from entirely different dimensions. Everyone knew Special Grade sorcerers were outrageously strong, but he never expected them to instantly kill Grade 1 sorcerers.

So this is Gojo Satoru, the one with the name of the strongest...

"What, still want to fight? Old man."

Gojo Satoru had his hands in his pockets, showing no signs of pressure. He calmly looked at Yoshinobu Gakuganji with his azure eyes.

At this moment, Yoshinobu Gakuganji could only submit. He put down the electric guitar in his hand and said, "I'll pretend I didn't see what happened today. You'd best keep your student in check and stop him from doing foolish things."

"Of course, as it should be."

Gojo Satoru watched Yoshinobu Gakuganji turn and leave. He waved and said, "Safe travels. Remember to come for tea next year."

"I will."

Yoshinobu Gakuganji left with a grim expression. The teachers who were sent flying were not seriously injured and followed the principal as they left. They had experienced the gap between Grade 1 and a top-tier Special Grade sorcerer – a world of difference.

Their speed was so fast they couldn't even react.
