Reincarnated as an Uchiha, Do I Have to Fight Sukuna Too? [3]

“Ohoho~ No wonder the report Ijichi submitted said these blocks have been unusually quiet lately…”

“So there’s been a helpful citizen quietly cleaning things up all along~ Your work is rather neat, too.”

“Not bad, not bad~”

Every muscle in Uchiha Ayato’s body went taut the instant that voice reached him.

Every hair on his body stood on end. His heartbeat shot past its limit, pumping blood through him like mad.

He could not escape.

The gaze behind him had no physical weight, yet it pinned Uchiha Ayato in place like a mountain.

Uchiha Ayato slowly turned his head. The glow of the streetlamp was split apart by a tall figure.

The newcomer was probably well over six feet, his black high-collared uniform outlining a long, lean frame.

Most striking of all was the white hair that stood out even in the night, and the pure black blindfold covering his eyes.

Gojo Satoru, the Special Grade jujutsu sorcerer known as “The Strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer.”

From the moment of his birth, he had altered the balance of the jujutsu world, causing modern Curses to gradually grow stronger as well. He was an existence feared by Cursed Spirits and curse users alike.

A monster. An absolute monster.

It was fine to laugh about him online, but if you actually ran into Gojo in real life, who wouldn’t panic and run for their life?

The tomoe in Ayato’s eyes spun madly. In his field of vision, the other man’s energy flow was like a vast ocean hanging upside down over his head, ready at any moment to smash the entire block into dust.

Around him, this world’s so-called “Cursed Energy” formed a warped zone that bent the laws of physics, slowing all objects that approached him to infinity.

He was standing right there, yet on a physical level, he seemed forever impossible to touch.

Uchiha Ayato took a deep breath, deactivated his Sharingan, and forced his breathing and physical reactions back to normal.

Then he put on his usual carefree smile again.

“Old man, showing up behind someone in the middle of the night dressed all in black without making a sound is pretty scary, you know?”

“I feel like my lifespan just got shortened a little from fright.”

“Ah, sorry, sorry~”

Gojo Satoru walked toward Uchiha Ayato with both hands in his pockets, the soles of his shoes grinding over the remnants of the Cursed Spirit’s ash on the ground.

In the end, he stopped three steps away from Ayato and studied the black-haired boy in front of him through his blindfold.

“It’s a uniform, after all. But…”

Gojo Satoru bent down slightly, bringing his face a little closer. The pressure belonging to an absolute powerhouse struck Ayato directly.

“Your Cursed Energy residuals are pretty interesting.”

“And those eyes of yours… They turned red just now. A special Innate Technique, right?”

Gojo Satoru snapped his fingers.

“An unlicensed person who can one-shot a Grade 1 Cursed Spirit in the middle of the night, looks like a middle schooler, and has the kind of face girls would like…”

“Mm! Kid, do you have any plans for high school?”

“How about enrolling at our school? Tokyo Jujutsu High.”

The instant Gojo Satoru finished speaking, the system immediately reacted.

[CAREER MISSION: ACCEPT HATAKE KAKASHI’S INVITATION AND JOIN TEAM 7.]

[MISSION REWARD: THREE TOMOE SHARINGAN]

Uchiha Ayato: “…”

Hatake Kakashi had arrived.

Wasn’t that a bit disrespectful to Gojo-sensei?

Gojo-sensei was at least the strongest of the modern age. As for Kakashi, well…

But to be fair, white hair plus an eye covering, along with that laid-back personality—Gojo and the Copy Ninja did have quite a few overlapping elements.

That was how insane this system was. This time, it had identified Gojo Satoru as Hatake Kakashi. The next time Gojo showed something resembling teleportation, it would probably identify Gojo Satoru as Namikaze Minato.

Complaints aside, the reward offered by the system was enough to tempt Ayato.

But of course, Ayato could not agree immediately.

Joining Jujutsu High meant selling his labor. And if he was going to sell his labor, he had to sell it for a good price.

Who would work themselves to death for a monthly salary of three thousand?

Aside from that, there was one more important reason…

When it came to the world of jujutsu, Uchiha Ayato was a casual.

Back when he had finished the first season of the anime, the online version had already gotten to the part where Kashimo became mango chunks. He genuinely did not know much about what had happened in between.

Once he entered jujutsu society, Ayato would have to face far too many unknowns.

So Ayato decided to play for leverage.

Kids, watch Uncle Ayato squeeze concessions out of Gojo Satoru!

“No.”

Uchiha Ayato rejected Gojo Satoru cleanly and decisively.

“Huh?”

Gojo Satoru paused.

“That decisive? Why?”

“A technical college?”

Uchiha Ayato shook his head and revealed a careless, contemptuous smile.

“The name alone sounds pretty lame, old man.”

“I don’t know what kind of hidden system you people belong to, but with ‘technical college’ tacked onto the name, what, does the Prime Minister stamp your diploma when you graduate?”

Ayato raised a hand and pointed toward the bright city lights in the distance.

“Do you see those thousands of lights? I, for one, have an extremely rigorous and ambitious life plan.”

“Oh?”

The corner of Gojo Satoru’s mouth rose even higher.

“Let’s hear it. Are you going to become the guardian of all those lights, or trample them all underfoot?”

“Neither. I’m only saying that all that luxury and indulgence is far too tempting not to sink into.”

Uchiha Ayato spoke with perfect righteousness.

“I’m going to get into the University of Tokyo.”

“Before my third year of university, I’ll make something of myself, attend all sorts of mixers, and use this face to filter out the top thirty wealthiest young ladies in Tokyo.”

“After that, I’ll employ some necessary social methods and make one of them fall hopelessly in love with me.”

“Marry into her family, get the certificate, and thoroughly begin my life of living off my wife, waking up naturally every day in a big house. Simple as that.”

Gojo Satoru: “???”

The air went quiet for a few seconds.

“Pfft…”

Gojo Satoru clutched his stomach, his shoulders shaking violently.

“Hahahahaha~!”

“Marry into her family? You have abilities like this, and you’re thinking of relying on a woman?”

“Don’t look down on me.”

Ayato stepped around the man laughing so hard he was doubling over, his feet already angling toward the broader main road.

“In order to maintain this face and mental state capable of attracting rich women, I must ensure sufficient sleep and absolute personal safety.”

“A job that sounds like it involves fistfighting monsters that stink like sewers? Whoever wants it can have it.”

“If there’s nothing else, I’m going back to catch up on sleep.”

Gojo Satoru stopped laughing.

In the next instant, that tall white-haired figure was already leaning against a telephone pole at the intersection, tossing and catching a phone with one hand.

“Your marrying-in plan does sound wonderful.”

Gojo Satoru spoke with complete nonchalance.

“But the benefits at Jujutsu High are very good, too. I can even introduce you to a real young lady from the Big Three Sorcerer Families.”

“Besides, I haven’t introduced myself yet, have I?”

“My name is Gojo Satoru. I’m in charge of the first-years at Tokyo Jujutsu High.”

“Incidentally, I have a very low tolerance for being rejected.”

[NAME: HATAKE KAKASHI]

[CHAKRA: 8,884,841/8,884,844]

[RANK: SUPER KAGE (GODLIKE)]

Staring at the tall figure blocking the mouth of the alley, Uchiha Ayato was silent for a few seconds.

Then he sighed.

“A very low tolerance? That really is unfortunate.”

“But old man, can you really blame me?”

Ayato pointed at Gojo’s blindfold.

“Wearing a pure black blindfold in the middle of the night and acting all mysterious here is a bit too disrespectful, isn’t it? If you sincerely want to talk, you shouldn’t be hiding yourself, right?”

“Why would I entrust my future to some weirdo who won’t even show his face?”

At that, Gojo Satoru chuckled, his fingers hooking the edge of his blindfold.

“You really dare to say it, huh, picky kid.”

With that, he tugged his fingers downward, and the black cloth slipped away.

A pure, heavenly blue.

It was a vast color, as if the entire sky had been compressed and placed inside his eye sockets. Deep within his pupils, fine streams of Cursed Energy light flickered.

In the very instant the blindfold slipped down and their eyes met, Uchiha Ayato’s pitch-black pupils were dyed bloodred. The black tomoe tore through the red glow, spinning into rings of afterimages.

Gojo Satoru’s breath abruptly cut off.

The lazy smile froze on his face. His azure pupils dilated, and his entire body went utterly still, as though struck by lightning.

“Before these eyes, it doesn’t matter how strong you are. That’s just reality. What a shame.”

Uchiha Ayato walked around Gojo Satoru and headed down the moonlit main road.

“I’m going to walk my own path. Don’t get in my way.”

“Later~”

However, in the next second, a strong, powerful hand landed on his shoulder.

“It wasn’t Cursed Speech, there were no hand signs, and no Domain Expansion…”

“Just from the instant our eyes met, you bypassed Limitless and shoved an illusion straight into my brain?”

Gojo Satoru’s voice was filled with excitement.

“Interesting. Too interesting!”

“You sly kid. You really got me there!”

Uchiha Ayato: “…”

“Uh… can we call a truce?”

A/N: Let me say this, okay? For the kids discussing whether Gojo Satoru has Super Kage-level ability, is there any chance that this is a duel-arena rank? As for whether Gojo-sensei specifically has Super Kage-level combat power… everyone, please actively and amicably discuss. I enjoy reading debates too.

T/N: mmmm gojo mmmmmmmmmmm gojo mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm fuck me gojo
