As much as I hate to admit it.
Kenjaku was right.
Since the balance shift, it was obvious that the Six Eyes Limitless user was the cause.
However, never in history has the balance changed so drastically. It turns out that the reason for such a shift was two anomalies in the Jujutsu world rather than only the Gojo brat.
Ever since Kenjaku failed to kill a twelve-year-old child, we have been keeping an eye on him.
A homeless child running around a town is fairly obvious, so we have given him the 'illusion' that he has evaded us.
Kenjaku and I have been alive for over one thousand years, and some brat thinks he can keep away from us.
The main issue comes with his cursed technique. Kenjaku would've gone after him again if it weren't for his immunity to most of his techniques.
Ever since we figured out that he has been able to eat Master Sukuna's fingers, we have been quickly collecting as much of them as we can.
We have collected thirteen fingers so far, and with Master Sukuna's corpse, we have effectively collected fourteen to fifteen fingers.
When I discovered that he had eaten one of Master Sukuna's fingers, I immediately left to kill the brat who thought he was worthy of carrying a diety like him, but Kenjaku stopped me since I would soon have the chance.
The only reason I listened to him was because of the interesting plan that he created.
Rather than killing him, we would make him a useful tool in this 'game' of Kenjaku's. He's important to bringing Master Sukuna back.
We have already made plans to punish his imprudence. Before he dies, I'm going to make sure that he is a broken tool.
I don't care how much Kenjaku tries to hold me back. I'll destroy his entire life. He is sorely mistaken if he thinks he can escape punishment for his actions.
Honestly, I found it insulting that the boy named Yuji resembled Master Sukuna, but he isn't a human, only a shell for the strong.
I smile to myself.
After one thousand years, he would finally be back. People will worship him as this new era's God. Who cares if two brats become strong when the truly strong will put them in their place?
I must prepare a meal worthy of his return.
????? P.O.V
I look at the paper in front of me. "You want me to kill a bunch of children? Since when did we start taking jobs executing teenagers?"
Even though I say that, I see that these aren't any normal teenagers.
If it was to kill some random kid, I probably wouldn't bother with it since it would be a waste of time, but if it involves the two newest talks of the town, then I'm interested.
Especially the one with the blue eyes.
Shiu Kong speaks with a cigarette in his mouth. "The one who ordered the hit is anonymous, but the payout is extremely high. I'm not too in the loop with everything that goes on in Jujutsu society. I only keep track of potential targets. However, I know that these two aren't normal."
I narrow my eyes at the sheet of paper. "Yeah, the one with the white hair is Satoru Gojo. He has the Six Eyes and the Limitless technique. I met him a few years back."
Shiu Kong flicks his cigarette. "What about the other kid?"
I ponder for a moment. "Naohiro Zenin. At first, I thought he was nothing special, but it seems like I ended up being wrong in my assessment."
He looked at me with a surprised expression. "I thought you, of all people, would've made an accurate assessment, given your...past."
I send him a side glance. "Yeah, it's really strange. All he had going for him was above-average cursed energy and an average cursed technique."
Shiu Kong looks confused. "Why do you find it strange if he is on the hit list? He is the new leader of the Hei in the Zenin clan."
I have a neutral look on my face. "It's strange because apparently, he beat Satoru Gojo in a clan tournament seven years ago."
He narrows his eyes at me. "It sounds like you're worried, for a sorcerer killer. Think you can handle it?"
I give him a smirk. "Of course, I can handle a couple of teenagers."
I take a look at the paper again and give it a wide smile.
Naohiro
*Shiver*
Why does it feel like I have a bunch of people trying to kill me right now?
I'm across from Gojo while Shoko and Geto are sitting down a little ways away. I couldn't avoid it forever, so looks like I'm going to fight him.
I see the annoying smile that Gojo is known for. "We'll just have a normal spar. Going all out in a normal training field can come later. Plus, you might become brain-dead if I go all out."
I narrow my eyes. "It sounds like you're confident you can beat me. You don't have a great track record with that."
He figured out Unlimited Void. The butterfly effect can create a lot of unpredictable moments. My existence alone has made almost everything I know be thrown out of wack.
He has a fake, hurt expression. "I'll let you know that I have a great track record. You're the only person I've lost to."
He then smirks. "However, I plan on that being the only loss that I take."
I get into a normal fighting stance and give him a smile.
'shink'
And with that, my anti-Gojo adaptations are turned on. I'm not going to go easy on the PREVIOUS future strongest sorcerer.
*Inhale* *Exhale*, round two of Naohiro and Gojo.
Here we go.
