(This chapter was written because the author simply couldn't accept Gojo Satoru's defeat. So, besides this chapter, the usual two chapters will still be updated today.)

"Kiriyama, calm down. It's just a small matter. There's no need to get angry."

Horikita Manabu stopped him again.

But this only made everyone else even more astonished, and they couldn't help wondering who the student in front of them was.

"Gojo-kun, is there something you need here? You didn't come all this way just for a sofa, did you?"

But Gojo Satoru had already put away his usual smile, his expression looking very serious.

Just now, the system—which had never contacted him of its own accord since the first time it introduced itself—had unexpectedly sent him a mission.

Emergency Mission!!: Due to Gojo Satoru in the original work losing his battle against Sukuna, he has been cut in half and is on the verge of death. (Battle situation. mv) Mission: Go to the Jujutsu World and kill Sukuna Time limit: Within 24 hours Reward for accepting the mission: Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan (all abilities), Absolute Defense Reward for completing the mission: Infinite Stamina (you will never feel tired) No penalty for failure. After accepting the mission, you will immediately be transported to the Jujutsu World, within 500 meters of "Gojo Satoru."

"Are you kidding me?! How could I possibly accept something like this?!"

Gojo Satoru shouted in fury and punched the table beside him. The sturdy table shattered under his monstrous strength.

After watching the entire battle, and hearing "Gojo Satoru" speak as if in a vision of his life flashing before his eyes—

He hadn't worried about the students' safety, hadn't cared about Megumi's body, had forgotten his best friend's body had been taken by Kenjaku, and instead kept praising Sukuna's strength and apologizing for not making Sukuna go all out!

Gojo Satoru couldn't believe it! That was the Gojo-sensei he had admired for so long!

What was that supposed to be?! He would never accept it!

The people in the Student Council Office were stunned by the sudden turn of events. They were too frightened to speak as they watched Gojo Satoru, unable to understand why he had suddenly become so furious.

Ignoring everyone else, Gojo Satoru walked straight out of the Student Council Office and headed for the dormitory, ignoring the greetings of acquaintances along the way.

The four people in the meeting room could only stare at one another.

Back in his dorm, he changed into casual clothes and silently thought,

Accept the mission!

Jujutsu World.

Standing in front of "Gojo Satoru," who had been cut in half, Sukuna said admiringly,

"You were amazing, Gojo Satoru! I probably won't forget you for the rest of my life."

A breeze swept by, and petals drifted down all around, landing on "Gojo Satoru" like a silent funeral.

In the distance, a black figure came hurtling toward them, growing larger by the second.

There was no time to mourn "Gojo Satoru's" death. "Thunder God" Kashimo Hajime had entered the battlefield!

The excited smile hadn't yet faded from Sukuna's face. He summed up Kashimo's fate in a single sentence:

"I'm in a good mood right now, so don't you dare spoil it."

He then launched a casual slash, intending to destroy "Gojo Satoru's" corpse.

"Boom!"

The heavy slash crashed down, and a cloud of dust shrouded the corpse.

When the dust cleared, "Gojo Satoru's" corpse was gone from the ground, leaving behind countless slash marks.

But Sukuna wore a grave expression, because he knew that the slash hadn't hit its target.

He jerked his head up and looked toward a nearby high-rise that was on the verge of collapse.

"No way!"

Noticing Sukuna's strange reaction, both Kashimo and everyone watching the Livestream Room turned to look in the direction he was staring.

Inside the Live Broadcast Room,

Everyone was stunned as they watched Gojo Satoru standing beside "Gojo Satoru's" corpse!

"Why?! Why is there a high school version of Gojo-sensei here?!"

Seeing another Gojo-sensei appear, Okkotsu Yuta could barely stay in his seat!

"No! That's not right! He does look exactly like Gojo Satoru did in high school, but he definitely isn't him! Look at his eyes!"

Ieiri Shoko, "Gojo Satoru's" classmate and friend, was the first to notice that something was wrong.

As if he had noticed them, Gojo Satoru looked straight at the camera.

His eyes, each bearing nine tomoe, seemed to peer through the crow and see everything inside the Live Broadcast Room. A chill ran down everyone's back.

"That's right. He absolutely can't be Gojo-sensei! Those eyes feel way more evil than Sukuna's!"

From that gaze, Itadori Yuji sensed a pressure far greater than Sukuna's!

Faced with Gojo Satoru's sudden appearance, everyone froze. Even Kashimo stopped and stepped aside.

After all, he wanted to fight the strongest. The aura radiating from this newcomer was no weaker than Sukuna's or "Gojo Satoru's" had been moments ago.

Looking back at the dead figure he had admired, Gojo Satoru's anger gave way to sorrow.

He crouched down, reached out, and closed the other man's eyes, which were still open. Then he said softly,

"You must be tired too, right? Being the strongest is nothing but a curse the world has placed on you!"

Standing up again, he summoned the King of Hell from the Naraka Path, and it swallowed "Gojo Satoru's corpse."

Inside the Live Broadcast Room,

"Damn it! Where did he put Gojo-sensei's body?!"

Itadori Yuji jumped to his feet, ready to rush out.

After all, ordinary people couldn't see the King of Hell summoned by the Naraka Path. Only those who were caught by it could see it, so to them, "Gojo Satoru" had simply vanished into thin air.

"Calm down! We don't know yet whether he's friend or foe. From the way he talks, he seems to know Gojo Satoru very well."

Kusakabe shoved Itadori Yuji back down into his seat, then continued,

"The current situation is that Gojo Satoru is dead, Sukuna seems to be seriously injured, Kashimo Hajime has arrived, Kenjaku is nowhere to be found, and now there's this sudden newcomer.

"If we act rashly without knowing whether he's friend or foe, it'll be pointless—and we might end up getting wiped out!"

At Kusakabe's warning, everyone fell silent.

That was right. "Gojo Satoru" was dead. The only ones who might be able to defeat Sukuna were Kashimo Hajime, whose true strength was unclear, and the high school version of Gojo Satoru who had suddenly appeared. And Kenjaku was still lurking somewhere in the shadows.

After putting "Gojo Satoru's" body somewhere safe, Gojo Satoru instantly appeared in the space between Kashimo and Sukuna.

He looked up at Kashimo, his expression indifferent, and said,

"You only want to fight the 'strongest,' right? Then step aside for now. I have some business to settle with him!"

"Of course. I don't care who I fight, as long as they're the 'strongest'!"

With that, he headed back the way he had come. In his eyes, this battle wouldn't be over anytime soon, so staying here would only waste time. Besides, the view from the Live Broadcast Room was much better for watching the fight.

Watching Kashimo walk away, Sukuna asked the other man in confusion,

"Who exactly are you?!"

As the strongest sorcerer in a thousand years, Sukuna had never felt nervous around anyone.

But now, on the very same day, he had felt it toward the "same person"!

"Me? I'm Gojo Satoru,

the second Gojo Satoru!

The only one of my kind!"
