Chapter 13: Gojo vs Onoki 2 .
-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.
