I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 252 Sorry, I didn't let Lord Guang use his full strength.

Air riots.

A massive ring of smoke spread high into the sky, transforming into raging gusts of wind that swept across the entire area. A significant portion of the lake was lifted up by this gale, carried for kilometers along with the flickering flames. In the air, a terrifying, blazing white sphere of vacuum appeared to expand.

Esdeath casually erected an ice wall tens of meters high, blocking the fiery storm blowing in her direction.

But those in other directions weren't so lucky.

soon.

Trees as thick as buckets were uprooted and felled, and in some places, raging fires broke out.

"Clang—"

With a slight flick of his wrist, Uchiha Hikaru retracted the Dragon Bone Blade to his side, then looked up at the sky.

As the smoke dissipated.

Gojo Satoru plummeted from the sky, his clothes torn to shreds, revealing a horrifying wound. At that moment, the wound was slowly healing, new flesh wriggling and growing back together.

—Reversal technique.

The principle behind this technique is to use the power of incantations, which originally represented negative energy, in a multiplicative manner, thereby transforming it into positive energy capable of healing the physical body. In essence, it can be seen as a version of the Palm Healing Technique in the world of incantations.

When Gojo Satoru saw this, he thought...

Uchiha Hikaru's eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought to himself, "Just as I expected."

Just as she guessed, the "no-limit technique" actually has a limit.

The principle behind this technique is indeed to use incantation to slice space, then extend and stretch it, thereby isolating the caster from the outside world. However… what it slices and stretches is still the space of the real world, not an alternate dimension independent of reality. This characteristic means that its strength is not as solid and stable as a true alternate dimension—such as the Divine Might Space or the Infinite City.

Therefore, Sukuna's Spatial Slash was able to destroy it.

Therefore...

Only her "Crescent Moon Heavenly Strike" could injure Gojo Satoru.

Strictly speaking, this is actually using brute force to overcome skill. No one in the world of jutsu can do this because there is a limit to how much power they can achieve. Only she and Esdeath, who come from other worlds with higher levels of power, can pull this off.

"Huff, huff..."

Satoru Gojo stood above the lake, using a reversal technique to heal his wounds while breathing heavily.

Until a minute ago.

He still only regarded Uchiha Hikaru as a challenger whose strength was roughly equal to his own, or slightly stronger.

but……

That flash of light made him realize a fact—

perhaps……

"Am I the challenger?"

With this thought arising.

Gojo Satoru let out a breath and asked in a deep voice, "Miss Hikari, did you... use your full strength just now?"

"Um?"

Uchiha Hikaru paused for a moment, a strange expression on his face: "What do you think?"

"..."

Gojo Satoru did not answer. After a moment of silence, he once again uttered the same words he had said before starting the sparring: "Special Grade Spellcaster, Gojo Satoru... nice to meet you."

As the words fell.

Then they saw Gojo Satoru assume a fighting stance, slowly raise his hands, then clasp his palms together and begin to gather the incantation power within his body: "Spell Rotation - Azure".

The power of the incantation solidified.

Under the gaze of the Sharingan, Uchiha Hikaru "saw" a ball of azure flame rising within Gojo Satoru's body, emitting an extremely strong gravitational pull.

All the surrounding pebbles, branches, and fallen leaves, large and small, were swept up by this gravitational force and began to swirl around Gojo Satoru's body.

then……

"Spell Reversal - He".

Another ball of dark red flame began to rise, emitting a repulsive force even stronger than that of "Azure". All the pebbles and fallen leaves were frozen in mid-air, as if time had stood still.

And then...

Gojo Satoru spread his arms and manipulated the two balls of energy to gradually intertwine and overlap, transforming them into a purple-white ball of energy.

At this moment, this nascent flame is exhibiting extremely unstable characteristics, slowly materializing in the air.

"This is the strongest move I can use, and I didn't originally intend to use it in this battle, but..."

Gojo Satoru's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said slowly with a hint of respect, "If it's you, it's worth meeting it."

"..."

Uchiha Hikaru remained silent.

Even before she heard the words "Nice to meet you," she had already guessed what Gojo Satoru was planning to do.

The technique "Azure" is a method of manipulating gravity.

The reversal technique "H" that can manipulate repulsive forces.

The combination of these two techniques constitutes Gojo Satoru's strongest killing move, theoretically capable of instantly killing even a top-tier cursed spirit...

"Xu Shi·茈!!"

This moment.

Gojo Satoru extended his right hand and made a snapping motion.

A purplish-black energy wave, shaped like a ball of lightning, condensed and took shape in front of him, radiating vibrant electric light and a buzzing sound like the chorus of thousands of birds.

In just a moment!

An energy wave shot out from Gojo Satoru's body and simultaneously appeared before Uchiha Hikaru! Everything in its path was instantly crushed to dust, leaving only a massive circular gap. Even the air along the path of this gap was scorched to ashes!

Completely crushing everything in its path!

at the same time.

Uchiha Hikaru gripped the Dragon Bone Blade tightly with both hands, exhaled, and once again made a downward slashing motion with the blade.

This time, the Dragon Bone Blade revived and pulsed as she swung it, rapidly extending from its original four-foot length to over four meters. A crimson flame erupted from Uchiha Hikaru's palm, enveloping her and the Dragon Bone Blade in a fleeting instant!

—Flame Form!

Amidst the surging demonic power.

An even more astonishing demonic power condensed on the Dragon Bone Blade, then tore through the air and exploded with a roar!

"Crescent Moon Anecho!!!"

This moment.

The howling wind exploded in the air with a deafening roar!

There is no process.

Gojo Satoru's Hollow Style: Zi and Uchiha Hikaru's Crescent Moon Tenshou, enhanced with Flame Form, collided in the open space between them as they were released, sending milky-white shockwaves flying behind them. A moment of intense light flashed, followed by an incredibly terrifying shockwave that spread in all directions!

boom--!!!

Uchiha Hikaru closed his eyes and simultaneously activated a one-man version of the Blood Jade Barrier.

Even with her eyes closed, she could feel the huge flash of light pierce her eyelids and enter her mind.

From an outsider's perspective.

It was as if a gigantic hemispherical barrier was slowly unfolding above the forest, tearing apart the clouds thousands of meters in the sky. A blazing pillar of light pierced through the sea of ​​clouds, stretching to the very edge of the field of vision. Thousands of lightning bolts, accompanied by turbulent air currents, roamed freely around the pillar of light, turning the sky for several kilometers around it a deep purple!

Four or five minutes passed.

The beam of light and the lightning bolts gradually dissipated.

By this time, the forest had disappeared.

Within a radius of several kilometers, there was hardly a single intact tree to be seen; only charred logs stood atop the ruins covered in scorched earth.

—The reason I say "almost" is because there is another area that Esdeath has enclosed with ice walls, which is the only green area that can be seen.

As for that lake...

In those few short minutes, it had become almost completely dry. A strong aroma of grilled fish filled the air, wafting far and wide.

"...Is it over?"

Uchiha Hikaru looked around through the dark red barrier, then put away the Blood Jade Coral and stepped back onto the ground.

After walking forward about a hundred meters, I saw Gojo Satoru's half arm in a pile of ruins.

Hmm... it didn't break.

As Uchiha Hikaru activated his "ki" to remove the rocks and dirt that were pressing down on Gojo Satoru, he saw that the guy was lying on the ground, half-dead, looking like a doll that had been trampled by an elephant, riddled with holes.

The impact of Crescent Moon Sky Strike and the Void Style: Zi clashing head-on was far more intense than the previous strike.

Even the "no-limit technique" could not completely isolate this impact.

Severely injured, Gojo Satoru didn't even have the strength to use the "Reversal Technique" to heal himself—to be precise, he had been using it, but because his injuries were too severe and he had already exhausted some of his energy, Gojo Satoru's spell power was only enough to keep him barely clinging to life.

"Can you still stand up?"

Uchiha Hikaru asked a question.

no respond.

At that moment, Uchiha Hikaru sighed, then flicked his finger and tossed a Senzu Bean into Gojo Satoru's mouth.

"...?"

"Eat it, then get up and talk to me."

……

Satoru Gojo, of course, knew nothing about Senzu Beans. After all, even Hisahito Itadori was unaware of their existence, so there was no way to mention them to him.

and so……

As his injuries healed at a visible speed, and his depleted strength was fully restored within minutes, Gojo Satoru's face revealed intense shock: "Hikari-san, what exactly was that thing you gave me? The healing effect is even more amazing than Glass's Reversal Technique!"

—Shoko Ieiri, a classmate of Satoru Gojo and Suguru Natsumi, is a master healer who is proficient in reversal techniques.

Although he hadn't met her yet, Uchiha Hikaru estimated that her medical skills should be quite good, even in the Naruto world, they would be top-notch, perhaps only slightly inferior to Tsunade.

but……

In terms of healing wounds rather than curing diseases, even the most skilled healer can hardly compare to Senzu Beans.

—Seriously speaking, there is indeed another healer comparable to the Senzu Bean: Dende from Namek in the Dragon Ball world, who will become Earth's Kami. Buu could also be considered half a healer, as he does possess powerful healing abilities, though he doesn't quite qualify as a "healer."

the other side.

Esdeath dispelled the ice wall, strode across the ruins, and arrived here. She then looked at the newly recovered Gojo Satoru: "It seems your stamina has fully recovered. Very good. Let's begin then."

"……start?"

Gojo Satoru was taken aback for a moment.

Esdeath nodded: "According to the result of the rock-paper-scissors game, Hikaru is in the first round, and I'm in the second. Is there a problem?"

"..."

In theory, Gojo Satoru, after consuming the Senzu Bean, did indeed recover to full strength and was indeed able to fight again.

but……

"Well, there's no need to rush."

Uchiha Hikaru spoke calmly: "After all, we just finished a battle. Even if our physical strength has recovered, we still need to recover mentally... Mr. Gojo, if it's not too much trouble, could you please demonstrate the techniques you used earlier? I'm quite interested in them."

"……good."

present.

Gojo Satoru used "Azure" and "Hell" in turn. Then, at Uchiha Hikaru's request, he demonstrated the "No Limits Technique" several more times.

The "cursed power" in the world of sorcery originates from the power of negative human emotions, and its nature is very similar to that of Yin Release.

The so-called "reversal technique" is close to Yang Escape.

Uchiha Hikaru had been studying the application of Yin-Yang Release, so after watching Gojo Satoru's demonstration, he quickly found the similarities and, after several attempts, successfully reproduced "Azure" and "Crimson" using Yin-Yang Release.

Of course, it's just a reproduction of the effects of attraction and repulsion. If we delve deeper into the operating mechanism, there are still some subtle differences.

However, this was enough to surprise Gojo Satoru.

"...Miss Hikari, is this really your first time encountering jutsu?"

As the strongest in the contemporary world of jutsu, Gojo Satoru is a genius among geniuses. However, even a genius like him only comprehended the Reversal Technique after a difficult battle with Fushiguro Jinji, and on this basis, he developed "Kaku" and "Zi".

But Uchiha Hikaru...

You can learn it after watching it a few times? Are there really such geniuses in the world?

"That's how we eye-tracking gamers are."

Uchiha Hikaru said half-jokingly, "Besides, 'no limits' hasn't even been reproduced yet, so how can you be considered a genius?"

"..."

Wu Tiaowu hesitated to speak.

In theory, he himself is also an eye-wielding player, because he was born with six eyes, which allows him to use the Gojo family's ancestral "no-limit technique." The last person to possess six eyes was born hundreds of years ago.

So...

Perhaps Uchiha Hikaru, who also possesses a pair of special eyes, could truly break the rule that those who are not six-eyed cannot learn "no limits" and completely reproduce this technique?

Just as Gojo Satoru was about to speak again.

Yamato suddenly raised his head, as if he had heard something, and looked into the distance.

"Hikaru, everyone... it sounds like something's coming from over there, did you hear that?"

"Um?"

Uchiha Hikaru used the Flying Technique to leap into the air and looked in the direction Yamato was pointing. As far as his eyes could see, he saw several helicopters flying towards them, and further on the road, he could also see several vehicles that looked like fire trucks driving by.

"...Let's leave first, and talk somewhere else."

Uchiha Hikaru returned to the ground and activated "Shangri-La" once again.

With a flash of white light, the figures of the group disappeared into thin air.
