Onoki's attack left a straight, empty path through the forest towards the Jujutsu School; parts of the forest were missing as if they had never existed before.
There was no trace of Toji anywhere, as if he had vanished into thin air.
"Although Yoshinobu Sensei said not to kill anyone, he didn't leave me a choice."
On the ground in front of Onoki was the sword that Toji had previously wielded, without any signs of being damaged by Onuki.
The length of the sword was about a meter and a half or more with a thick handle and a tassel between the handle and the blade. The blade was broad and slightly curved with an edge; it was clearly a cursed tool.
It was a shinogi-zukuri, the most common shape of Japanese katana, although swords in the Naruto world were generally straighter and thinner, it didn't pose a problem for Onuki to carry it.
The only problem was that he hadn't touched a sword since he was a genin in the Naruto world , there was a reason why kunai were used more frequently in the world of Naruto, unless you had the talent to wield a sword, it was better to use kunai. Of course, Onoki didn't have the talent to use a sword.
When he carries the sword, Onoki felt the distinctive cursed energy around it and easily guessed that it was a cursed tool of a special grade.
"A weapon of a special grade is not something easily obtained; I can easily guess that the dagger he used to pass through the Gojo's infinity is also a special grade tool."
"Cursed tools don't grow on trees, especially tools of a special grade; to be able to possess more than one, one must be from one of the three major clans."
"Gojo Clan shouldn't send someone to kill the future clan leader, right? Also, Gojo didn't recognize him, so this denies him being from the Gojo Clan."
"The possibility of him being from the Kamo Clan is also low, as the clan has been in decline since no one has been born in their cursed technique for a while."
"This leaves only the Zenin Clan; since Naobito Zenin took over the leadership of the clan, the clan has been constantly rising, with him gaining the title of the fastest living sorcerer."
"Although he didn't say he was from the Zenin Clan, he had the characteristics of the clan."
"But what benefit does the Zenin Clan have from killing the star plasma vessle , or was it just a cover for killing Gojo Satoru? I've read that the relations between the two clans have been tense for the past 400 years."
"Well, it doesn't matter now, although it's unfortunate that the dagger that pierced through Gojo's infinity was destroyed with Toji , at least I got a special-grade tool."
After surveying the area to ensure that Toji was completely dead, Onoki leaped into the air and flew to where Gojo was swimming in his blood.
Along the way, the trace of dust was very clear, his technique left a straight path devoid of trees for 300 meters leading to the entrance of the Star Shrine.
Part of the thorn forest that had been created earlier was destroyed, and Gojo Satoru was standing here in the center .
Onoki approached and landed on the ground, not concerned about revealing more of his techniques, as the battle report was enough to expose much about his strength and techniques.
When Onoki looked at Gojo Satoru, the first thing he noticed was the disappearance of all wounds from the previous fight. Although the blood on the ground and his clothes still testified to the previous battle, there was no evidence of his injuries.
Suddenly, Onoki noticed that Gojo wasn't normal at the moment, as his head was lowered and his body was shaking violently.
Just as Onoki was about to advance and check his condition, Gojo burst laughing and threw his head back to spread his laughter to the world.
"Hahahahahahaha, I finally understood it, I understood the cursed energy core."
"Cursed energy is born from negative energy, so even if it is able to strengthen your body, regenerating it is impossible, so negative energy must be multiplied together to make positive energy. This is the reverse curse technique. Of course, it is not that simple, but I am a genius after all."
'Has he gone crazy or what, it's as if he took several stimulants at once' Onoki thought.
Gojo was babbling in a completely hysterical state as he described how he had achieved the Reverse Curse Technique.
Suddenly he turned to me and said condescendingly, "Where is he? Where did he go? "
"He already lost when he couldn't completely kill me before, we just started the fight, and I will destroy him completely."
I watched as Gojo acted as if he was on drugs , he spoke condescendingly to me as if I was an ant on the side of the road.
What did he mean by he couldn't kill him? If I hadn't stopped him from stabbing your head, you would be dead by now.
Despite Gojo's behavior and harsh speech, Onoki was not bothered by how dirty his clothes got when the wind blew on him.
"He is dead, I killed him," I said and waved the sword over my shoulder so he could see clearly.
The smile froze on his face and he looked at me as if I was the funniest clown in the world.
It was clear that he did not believe me at all, but the sword in my hand was the best proof of that.
The look on Gojo's face went from smile to confusion and then to disbelief as his brain tried to come up with an explanation as to how I acquired the sword.
In the end, his face would settle into anger when he looked at me , but suddenly he calmed down and the expression on his face relaxed.
I didn't really care whether he believed me or not, I wanted to go down to the Star Shrine and make sure everything was fine in order to complete the mission and return to Kyoto.
"I will go down to the Star Shrine to make sure that everything went well with Jito and that the Star Plasma vessel was delivered."
Upon hearing my words, Gojo seemed to gain a sense of serenity and came out of his hysterical state and looked at me seriously as if he was accepting the fact that I had killed Toji Fushiguro.
Suddenly, Gojo stood in front of me and prevented me from moving towards the entrance of the shrine.
I narrowed my eyes slightly at this action.
"What are you doing?" I quietly asked Gogo standing in front of me.
"I'm afraid I can't let you go,"
Gojo said with a provocative smile, looking at me from above.
I frowned as I looked at him, what the hell was he thinking to stop me from passing, suddenly a crazy idea popped into my head when thinking about his and Geto's behavior with Amanai Riku in the past days.
"You're not thinking about stopping the merger, are you?"
I asked as I filled with anger, what are these two idiots thinking about interfering with the fusion, do they have no idea what are the consequences of their stupidity.
"Exactly, Geto and I agreed to prevent the merge if the Star Plasma vessel did not agree to it, even if it meant fighting you and Tenjin-sama"
He said with a more provocative smile.
If there was one thing Onoki could say he was proud of other than his strength, it was his calmness and long patience, but now Onoki could easily feel his blood boiling with anger.
"Do you have any idea what might happen if Tenjen is unable to merge with the astral ship? The difficulty of using the barriers will increase, the entire world of Jujutsu will be exposed to the public, and chaos will spread throughout the entire country and the entire world. At worst, Tenjen will turn into a cursed spirit. Can you imagine how strong is a cursed soul that has lived for more than a thousand years ?"
Onoki exploded in anger and shouted at Gojo as if he were lecturing a stupid kid .
Even Onoki, who had read only the mission file , could guess the consequences of failing to complete the mission, while these two idiots were planning to destroy the world.
What made the matter worse for Onoki was Gojo's answer.
"It doesn't really matter, because he can't defeat me, I'm the strongest in the world."
The hysterical smile reappeared on Gojo's face as he opened his arms as if he wanted to embrace the world.
Gojo's answer made Onoki understand that this person in front of him was arrogant and selfish beyond measure, to endanger the world just because of your arrogance was too much for Onoki.
After living in Naruto's world for eighty years, peace was something Onoki valued deeply and he would not allow a child full of himself to try to put him in danger.
In less than a second, Onoki appeared in front of Gojo and sent a punch filled with cursed energy towards his smiling face, but before he could reach him, the punch stopped just a few millimeters away.
Onoki suddenly felt a force pulling backwards as he was forcefully thrown towards one of the houses outside the range of the Forest of Thorns technique.
Now the battle between the two most powerful sorcerers in the future has begun

-Gojo pov-
What did I thought when I heard that Onoki Kamizoru would be participating in the mission? It must be Curiosity .
Onoki Kamizoru has been a sensation in the Jojutsu community for twelve years now. His birth caused numerous deaths throughout Kyoto that night without mentioning the Kyoto General Hospital incident.
The three major clans fought over who would get the newborn, but in the end, he was placed under the care of Yoshinobu Gakugangji at the Kyoto Jojutsu School.
Usually, the three major clans wouldn't give up this easily over who gets the child, but due to Tangen-sama's intervention, the matter was quickly resolved.
Of course, such information is only known to clan leaders, but as the next leader of the Gojo clan, he still has access to such information.
By accepting Tangen-sama's request, the three major clans stopped trying to get the child, but it didn't end there. A binding vow was made on the mother's life not to attempt anything to the child before he joins the Jojutsu High School in exchange for one favor per clan when he grows up.
Naturally, Gogo only saw the cruelty of the ancient elders. In fact, what is impressive is their plan.
Their plan from the beginning was to leave the child to grow up alongside his mother to develop the basic feelings between them, so when the mother's life is threatened, he would have no choice but to comply with their request.
This was better than the possibility of betraying them even if he lived among them.
Of course, there was a possibility of him seeking revenge afterwards, but that was the reason behind that there is three requests.
If he tries to seek revenge, one of the clans will restrict him using one of the requests they have, so for this plan to succeed, the three clans agreed to execute it together.
Gojo couldn't see this because of his lack of experience.
'For this reason, I hated these old rascals , they use a child's life to threaten the mother. For this reason, I and geto agreed to protect Riko if she didn't agree to merge with Tangen-sama ' gojo thought.
I was more curious about Onoki than I showed outwardly. The headquarters constantly monitored the child, so when I heard that his cursed technique was controlling the earth , I was extremely frustrated.
After hearing about his cursed energy and how it made leader of the Zenin clan and Yoshinobu Gagogangi kneel on the ground just by being exposed to it, I hoped that there would be something he could reach my level.
But I was extremely disappointed.
When we arrived at the place we were supposed to meet him, he wasn't anywhere to be found. I couldn't even feel his cursed energy , yet he suddenly appeared behind us without us noticing at all. With that smile, I knew he was only faking in front of us.
His cursed energy was immense, much more than mine, although he kept it closed within his body, the small amount that leaked made me feel like I was in a sea of blood.
Over time, he showed that he could do more than just control rocks. Standing on water, clinging to surfaces, shape-shifting, creating clones, changing voices, flying, making things float.
I doubt that was all he could do. So there were two possibilities, either the headquarters had misidentified his cursed technique or he didn't show its full strength.
Usually, I could tell the type of cursed technique a person possesses just by looking at the cursed energy flowing through their brains, but for him, it was so complex that it was almost impossible even with my six eyes.
His fighting style was much better than mine. His blows targeted the fatal spots when attacking the assassins we fought against, although he reduced his strength against them to avoid killing them.
Nothing matched what I saw from him in these past three days with what Utahime described about him at all.
His power was at the level of a first grade sorcerer and could be promoted to special grade in the future.
However, I wasn't worried that he would ever surpass me. After all, I had the six eyes and the limitless. So even if his cursed technique was more distinctive than what he said, he wouldn't be able to defeat me.
After all, through the heavens and the earth, I alone am the honored one .
At least that's what I thought before Toji Fushiguro wiped the floor with me. A person without a cursed technique or cursed energy and using pure physical strength was able to inflict serious injuries on me and even kill me if Onoki hadn't intervened in time and saved me.
Despite my reluctance to admit it, I was completely defeated. There was a burning fire of shame inside me when I saw Toji and Onoki leaving.
However, in that state of mine, as if fate smiled at me, I understood the essence of positive energy and the reverse cursed technique. Now I was ready to respond to the shame that Toji inflicted on me.
With my new arsenal, I was confident that I was the strongest sorcerer in the world. I would wipe Toji off the face of the earth, but when I entered my hysterical state, Onoki returned and claimed that he had killed Toji himself.
I was in a state of bewilderment and disbelief. How could he defeat someone who defeated me? Doesn't that mean he's stronger than me? That was completely unacceptable .
But his waving of toji's sword proved his claims, I was weaker than a 12-year-old child? A child without even a unique or distinctive cursed technique.
But then he began to talk about completing the mission and verifying the delivery of the star plasma vessle.
At that moment, I knew that I could regain some of the dignity that was shattered, as he was able to defeat Toji who defeated me, this means that he is stronger than him, so if I defeat him, this means that I am able to defeat Toji, isn't it?
Although it wasn't the ideal way to do it, there was no other way, I needed to prove that I am the strongest.
With some words here and there and acting indifferent, arrogant, and selfish, I knew it would greatly anger him, and that was achieved when he suddenly appeared in front of me and tried to punch me on my face, unfortunately for him he couldn't penetrate the infinity between his hand and my face.
I smiled when I saw that I was able to motivate him, and using blue , I threw him towards one of the distant houses outside the range of the stone thorns he had created before.
I was going to defeat him and prove that I am the strongest sorcerer ever.
Now the battle between the strongest sorcerers in the future has begun.
