I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 251 No Boundaries and Crescent Moon Sky Strike

The pause was only for a moment.

The next second, Uchiha Hikaru twisted his waist and turned to the side in mid-air, and unleashed a fierce spinning whip kick!

Bang--!!

The force of this whip kick was greater than the previous punch, but it still stopped about one centimeter away from Gojo Satoru's shoulder. A large cloud of milky white air rippled out to both sides, accompanied by a deafening sonic boom.

"...That's interesting."

Uchiha Hikaru's lips curled into a smile, his waist twisted at an incredible angle once again, and at the same time his right arm was raised high, swinging in a semi-circle like drawing a bow and shooting an arrow, before smashing it towards Gojo Satoru!

"Ten-Day Breathing Technique - Fist Thrusting!!"

With the aid of breathing techniques, the speed of this punch reached more than twice the speed of sound, so fast that it was almost invisible to the naked eye!

then……

A faint sound of breaking could be heard.

When the fist was about 0.5 centimeters away from Gojo Satoru, the latter finally made a counterattack move, first grasping Uchiha Hikari's fist with his palm, and then suddenly bursting out his curse power to create an extremely powerful repulsive force that sent her flying!

Bang——! !

Only then did the sonic boom of the punch reach their ears. Uchiha Hikaru performed a backflip in mid-air, landing lightly on the ground seven or eight meters away like a butterfly, before attacking again: "Again!!"

Next.

Uchiha Hikari transformed her body into a human weapon, relentlessly attacking Gojo Satoru's chest, abdomen, and face with fists, feet, knees, and elbows. Although it was just a simple taijutsu attack, with the blessing of the "Ten Heavens Breathing Technique," each of her strikes had speed and lethality no less than a punch.

Gojo Satoru finally revealed a serious expression, his feet moving nimbly as he continuously parried Uchiha Hikaru's attacks with both hands, occasionally managing to launch a counterattack.

Both of them moved incredibly fast.

If this scene were captured with an ordinary camera, you would probably only see two blurry afterimages. Only with a high-speed camera breaking it down frame by frame can you clearly distinguish each of the two people's movements.

—For Esdeath and Yamato, seeing things clearly wasn't difficult. After all, the battle during the finals of the martial arts tournament was far more intense than it was now.

During the confrontation.

Uchiha Hikaru had already awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, but instead of releasing his eye technique, he carefully observed every subtle fluctuation in the airflow around Gojo Satoru, and a sense of understanding gradually dawned on him—

In the original Jujutsu Kaisen manga, the concept of having no limits in jutsu was mentioned.

This technique involves a spatial dimension and requires the possession of the "Six Eyes" to use. Its principle is based on the mathematical "Achilles Paradox".

To put it simply, Gojo Satoru can manipulate the cursed power around him to divide the space around him into countless tiny slices, and then infinitely stretch the distance between each slice. The closer to his body, the more slices there are, and the longer the spatial barrier becomes. So what appears to be one centimeter is no different from several kilometers in reality.

The closer you get, the slower you will be, so you will never be able to reach his true form.

In fact...

There's definitely something to it.

As Uchiha Hikaru continued to increase the power of his punches and kicks.

The distance between her fist and Gojo Satoru's body shrank from one centimeter to a fraction of a centimeter, then to a fraction of a centimeter... until finally, the distance between them was almost as thin as a hair, but...

Uchiha Hikari still felt as if there was an invisible membrane blocking her and Gojo Satoru. Most of the impact of the punch was neutralized by this membrane, and only a small part of the pressure actually reached Gojo Satoru.

Of course……

Up until now, Uchiha Hikari hasn't used her full strength, only about 30-40%. If she were to unleash the Eight Gates and Ten Heavens Breathing Technique to their limits, combined with the Ninth-Rank Instantaneous Release, she might be able to close that final gap. However, her goal was to confirm the mechanism of the "No Limit Technique," and now that her goal has been achieved, there's no need to try the same technique again.

"Conventional physical techniques aren't very useful, so..."

"Let's try the escape technique again."

After another exchange of blows, Uchiha Hikaru performed several backflips to retreat, widening the distance between them again. Then, he formed a hand seal with one hand: "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

call--!!

As Uchiha Hikaru opened his mouth and spat out a burst of intense flames, they surged into the sky like a tidal wave and struck Gojo Satoru's body!

Immediately afterwards, she changed her hand seals and released another Wind Release ninjutsu:

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

A sudden gust of wind!

At this moment, the already spectacular flames transformed into a raging sea of ​​fire, engulfing almost half of the lake. Large amounts of scorching steam shot into the sky, blurring the lake's surface into a hazy landscape, and Gojo Satoru's body was also enveloped within it, disappearing from sight.

……

"So, Miss Hikari also possesses this ability to manipulate flames...?"

In the woods.

Yuji Itadori stared wide-eyed at the scene unfolding not far away, his face filled with shock.

Not long ago, he had witnessed Gojo Satoru's battle with Louju, during which Louju also used this ability to manipulate flames and magma, which was extremely similar to what Uchiha Hikaru was using now. However, in terms of momentum, Uchiha Hikaru had the upper hand.

Just then.

A slight fluctuation of energy suddenly appeared on Hisahito Itadori's cheek, as if a line was slowly splitting open.

Esdeath turned her head as if sensing something and glanced at his face.

"This is……"

Before her eyes, a pair of fierce eyes slowly opened, also looking at the scene on the lakeside. Then, seemingly noticing Esdeath's gaze, they glanced at each other and met eyes.

"...You're the 'Sukuna' that Hikaru mentioned?"

Esdeath narrowed her eyes slightly, recalling the information she had heard before setting off.

Yuujin Itadori naturally noticed Sukuna's unusual behavior and wanted to explain, but when he opened his mouth, a different voice came out: "Heh, a bunch of unknown people, have they ever heard of my reputation? That wretched brat only took advantage of me while my strength was not yet restored. The day I regain my power, she will be the first one I kill!"

"Oh?"

Esdeath's expression remained unchanged upon hearing the first half of the sentence.

But when Sukuna shouted "Kill her!", Esdeath's expression hardened slightly. Though her face remained impassive, a dangerous glint flashed in her eyes: "Tell me, who do you want to kill?"

"Of course it's that brat named Uchiha Hikaru..."

The conversation abruptly ended.

At that moment, Esdeath unleashed an incredibly pure killing intent, and a phantom of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood seemed to float around her. Even Sukuna, the "King of Curses" who had killed countless people a thousand years ago, felt as if he were a mere child compared to a great demon, and his heart trembled for no reason.

"you……"

"This is impossible..."

Previously, when Sukuna encountered Uchiha Hikaru in the spiritual space, he had already been shaken once.

And now, Esdeath made him experience a tremor he hadn't felt in many years—

This woman...

Just how many people must one have killed to hone such a pure and terrifying killing intent?!

For a fleeting moment, Su Nu even felt that the title of "King of Curses" was somewhat undeserved, and that this title should be given to the woman in front of him.

"I know you are just a spirit that parasitizes someone else, so I will not pursue your nonsense for now."

"but……"

Esdeath narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze sharp as a knife: "Since you're so confident in your strength after your resurrection, then... I'll help you achieve that goal, and then I'll personally assess your abilities. If your performance satisfies me, I might consider giving you a dignified death."

"..."

This is a blatant threat, something that Sukuna would usually say to others, not something he would say to himself.

Su Nuo wanted to retort sharply, but when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she suddenly became speechless.

a long time.

Sukuna snorted, glanced at Esdeath with an unpredictable look, then at Uchiha Hikaru and Gojo Satoru who were still fighting not far away, before quietly disappearing from Itadori Yuujin's face and returning to his mental space. Only then did Itadori Yuujin wipe the sweat from his forehead and apologize to Esdeath and Yamato.

Esdeath waved her hand and said nothing more.

Yamato, standing next to him, scratched his head in confusion, seemingly not quite understanding what had just happened.

—The existence of "Sukuna" had actually been discussed in the chat group before, but given Yamato's carelessness, he clearly hadn't noticed. Therefore, Itadori Yuuji had to start from the beginning, explaining the origin of the one within him:

"Here's what happened: a few months ago, I swallowed a finger that was called a 'Special Grade Cursed Object'..."

……

Uchiha Hikaru naturally noticed the commotion that was taking place in the woods.

She was initially a little worried—

Esdeath isn't one to swallow her anger; faced with Sukuna's provocation, she might just attack on the spot. Sukuna, however, is currently only a soul, temporarily residing within Itadori Yuujin's body. If a fight breaks out, it will only be Itadori Yuujin who dies; Sukuna might be completely unharmed, and could even return to another finger at any time, waiting for the next "Jinchūriki" to devour him.

If that's the case...

There might be some turmoil in the chat group—after all, there has never been an incident involving injury or death of a group member.

Moreover, once Yuujin Itadori dies, the Jujutsu World will likely be shut down to other members.

Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not occur.

Although they were too far apart to hear what Esdeath and Sukuna were saying, from Uchiha Hikaru's perspective, they seemed to be communicating quite harmoniously.

She was temporarily relieved and looked at Gojo Satoru across from her again.

The latter had already escaped from the sea of ​​fire and leaped into the air above the lake, where he stood suspended in mid-air. The Great Fire Extinguisher, enhanced by the Wind Release technique, still did not harm his main body, only leaving some soot and fire marks, making Gojo Satoru look quite disheveled, with several charred and torn marks on his clothes.

"...It seems that ordinary escape techniques are useless, and their effect is even worse than conventional taijutsu."

"We don't need to try Amaterasu and Susanoo, and there are also sealing techniques..."

The first two options were not tried, mainly because we didn't want anyone to die.

Regardless, this was just a friendly spar, not a life-or-death battle. Uchiha Hikaru's goal was simply to observe Gojo Satoru's spells and consider whether he could replicate them in his own way. If he used Sharingan techniques, especially Tsukuyomi and Susanoo, the nature of the matter would be completely different.

—Leaving aside the earlier forms of Susanoo, the complete form plus "Fire and Thunder God" could flatten this forest on the spot. No matter how powerful Gojo Satoru's "no limits" are, there is absolutely no way he can withstand an attack of this magnitude. The only possible outcome is that he will be directly crushed into dust.

—As for sealing techniques, it's foreseeable that they will be effective. After all, Gojo Satoru in the original work was sealed by "Gokumon Sō," and sealing techniques in the Naruto world can naturally do the same thing.

If these methods are not available...

"Then let's try this one."

Uchiha Hikaru slightly raised his arm and opened his palm.

With this movement, the four-foot-long dragon bone knife quietly appeared in mid-air, its hilt firmly held in her palm, the blade facing outwards.

—The lightning sword transforms.

This technique was learned from Sasuke. Its principle is similar to the sealing scroll. In essence, it is also a sealing technique with the nature of summoning. It is not difficult to reproduce when there is a target in mind.

"That knife... is it something like a cursed artifact?"

Gojo Satoru, suspended in mid-air, frowned, a sudden sense of unease creeping into his heart.

Uchiha Hikaru looked up at the sky and exhaled slightly: "Let me see if the 'No Limits Technique' really has no limits..."

As he spoke, Uchiha Hikaru gripped his long swords in both hands and made a gesture of preparing to strike Gojo Satoru, who was standing on the lake.

next moment.

Uchiha Hikaru suddenly swung his sword. With the enhancement of the eighth-level Instantaneous Strike, the Dragon Bone Blade vanished in a flash of white light halfway through its journey. However, a crescent-shaped slash burst forth from the blade, then, with indescribable speed and overwhelming power, it hurtled into the sky.

"One Hundred and Eight Segments - Crescent Moon Heavenly Strike!!!"

The fiery conical cone has reappeared!

At that moment, a dazzling blade of energy, trailing a fiery line, soared upwards, illuminating the eyes of everyone present. Then, the blade of energy collided violently with Gojo Satoru's figure, accompanied by a deafening roar, and a massive amount of firelight scattered like fireworks across the sky!
