Shinjuku
Gojo smiled. "[Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue]."
A blue orb appeared behind Naohiro.
Contrary to most expectations, he wasn't pulled back.
Due to the adaptation that occurred during the clan tournament, Naohiro is no longer affected by blue.
However, its use wasn't to harm Naohiro.
It was made to increase his speed by using its properties of attraction.
*WOOSH*
Gojo vanished, appeared in front of him, and threw a punch.
Naohiro smiled as he blocked in an X formation.
*BAM*
Gojo's fist connected with Naohiro's arms as he went flying.
*BOOM*
In the span of a second, Gojo vanished and sent Naohiro flying into a building.
While people were shocked and some were booing (Utahime), Gojo thought to himself. 'What's going on? He should've been able to react to that.'
A voice spoke up from the dust. "[Twin Meteors...]."
*SLICE*
Gojo's eyes widened as he bent back 90 degrees to avoid a monstrous slash that would've diced him in two.
He laughed as he stood back up. "HAHA, copying Sukuna now!?"
Naohiro walked out of the dust unharmed with a smirk. "My whole technique is using the phenomena that people have used. It takes a lot of focus to launch one of those things. I just wanted to see if you could dodge something like that."
Gojo is already aware of how his technique works, but he never thought that he could strengthen someone else's technique.
Out of all Sukuna's slashes, the one Naohiro used was stronger than all of them.
Had it been anyone else, he might've allowed the attack to connect due to infinity, but Naohiro has long since been immune to it.
Added to that, he no doubt would be in a bad spot if it landed, judging from the charge time and raw amount of cursed energy.
Gojo cracked his neck. "Now that the openers are done, let's get the ball rolling. I still need to show off to my students."
His eyes glowed blue as cursed energy erupted from his body.
In all of his fights since coming to Jujutsu High, Gojo has had to hold back his strength.
Even in his fight against Sukuna, he hasn't gone all out.
This will be the first time he would be able to fight with everything unlocked in his Jujutsu arsenal.
Every exchange is to find out superiority.
The next step is.
...
To see who wins in a domain clash.
...
Gojo crossed his fingers while Naohiro brought his hands together. "[Domain Expansion: Unlimited Void], [Domain Expansion: Cycle of Saṃsāra]."
*WOOSH*
A desert clashed with an infinite void of nothingness.
To the shock of everyone, they were evenly matched.
However...
*crack*
Unlimited void started to shatter.
A domain expansion is made by infusing it with the cursed technique, so anything Naohiro had adapted to, such as another domain, can be ignored and destroyed.
Gojo narrowed his eyes as Naohiro had a wide smile.
Their domains were similar in that if you were affected by the sure hit for even a second, it was over.
So, Gojo smirked as his domain patched itself up and held firm.
Naohiro widened his eyes. "Not bad."
Gojo manipulated his barrier's properties and took inspiration from a man he fought not long ago.
Binding vows.
One that removes the sure hit and allows for the barrier to be non-solid to counteract the damage that Naohiro could do, keeping his technique from burning out and having the same amplification to his cursed technique.
'clink'
However, Naohiro was adapting to the new change.
Naohiro and Gojo charged at each other as it came down to who could make the other drop their domain, Naohiro being on the advantageous side.
Gojo threw a punch, but Naohiro caught it with his right.
Naohiro threw a kick to Gojo's side, but he flipped over Naohiro.
Using his time in the air, Gojo spoke. "'Phase.' 'Pāramitā.' 'Pillar of Light.'"
Naohiro wasn't idle as he tightened his grip on Gojo's hand and spoke with a raised left hand, making a hand sign. "'Blast.' 'Recoil.' 'Shockwave.'"
Gojo landed and pointed at Naohiro's face while veins bulged on Naohiro's arm. "[Red]!, [Thunderclap]!"
*BTZ SPLAT*
*BOOM*
A black shockwave gets sent through Gojo's arm while the red hits Naohiro in the face.
*crack*
'clink'
*shatter*
Naohiro's and Gojo's domains both shatter.
...
Naoya spoke while in the TV room. "Please don't tell me they killed each other..."
Naobito laughed. "That would be pretty anti-climactic, wouldn't it!?"
Naoya turned toward his father. "I'm more worried about them dying rather than winning or losing a stupid fight! I didn't think they would go this far..."
Shoko stretched. "Trust me, that isn't nearly enough to put either of them down. Now that Naohiro is adapted to Gojo's red and that domain binding vow won't work again, Gojo is in a tough spot."
Yaga showed up out of nowhere. "He's going to win this thing."
Maki spoke up. "What makes you say that?"
Yaga stared at the screen. "Because he told me he was."
*step*
*step*
*step*
*pat*
Naoya slowly walked over to Yaga and put his hand on his shoulder. "It's okay to have opinions, some are just more wrong than others."
Yaga shook his head. "Don't say it's over until it's over."
Naoya smirked and looked into Yaga's eyes. "The longer he fights, more and more cards get taken out of his deck...until he loses."
...
When the debris cleared, Naohiro had half of his face missing, which showed broken bone and blood, with part of his neck removed.
With the combination of adaptations and reverse cursed technique, it took only five seconds for all the injuries to disappear.
Naohiro smiled. "That fuckin hurt."
However, that attack wouldn't work again.
The combination of chanting, Gojo being domain amplified, and having a red shot at point blank made Naohiro take more damage than he had when adapting to Sukuna's fire arrow.
Gojo, on the other hand, was only missing an arm.
Before the shockwave could go through his entire body, he ripped off his own arm.
Gojo had a wide smile. "Holy crap, I would've died had that thing hit me."
He had won the exchange, but that was all that happened.
Gojo could no longer use red for offense purposes and his domain has become essentially useless if Naohiro uses his own.
If it were the other timeline's Gojo, the only thing he has left is purple and hand-to-hand
He spoke with a smile.
...

"My anti-Naohiro technique that I haven't used since I was a teenager."
