-Location: Kiroko Mine, Saitama Prefecture-
-Jujutsu Tech Training Ground No.4-
Gojo had taken Naoto to the training grounds owned by jujutsu tech. This area was a mine, and was used to mine materials for cursed tools.
They also used this as a training area for new jujutsu sorcerers. Gojo is currently teaching Naoto how to enter his Innate domain.
An innate domain is a metaphysical space bound to a jujutsu sorcerer at birth. A sorcerers innate domain represents their cursed technique, mind, and soul.
Innate domains can be constructed or "expanded" into the physical world using the most supreme jujutsu, Domain Expansion.
This is what Gojo is teaching Naoto, once he enters his innate domain. He'll get a better understanding on how to bring his domain into reality.
"Sit down and get into a meditative position, after you do that, focus on your inner self." Said Gojo.
Naoto nodded and sat in a meditative posture, he closed his eyes and focused on his inner self and cursed technique.
Gojo watched intently with his blindfold off. He wanted to "see" everything that went on in Naoto's innate domain.
After some time, electricity started to circulate through and around his entire body. Naoto had a calm look on his face and within his mind and soul, he was looking at a raging storm and dark clouds.
Naoto felt like he was floating. He looked around and seen a floating throne made out of pure lightning.
Naoto moved toward the throne and inspected it. He was astonished by how his innate domain functions.
When he appeared inside his domain, it felt like he could do anything, and all his techniques could be used without any drawbacks.
After admiring the throne for a while, he finally decided to sit on it. He slowly approached the throne and sat down.
When he did, the raging storm came to a standstill. Naoto couldn't hear the roars of thunder anymore, all he could hear is absolutely nothing.
An airy silence was all that existed in his domain. He looked around and felt like he was a god looking down on earth.
"This is cool, my domain will definitely be one of the most powerful domains to ever exist." Said Naoto.
Naoto then exited his innate domain and returned to the real world. When he opened his eyes, gojo was looking at him with a smile.
"So you did it huh?" Asked Gojo.
"You already know the answer don't you?" Asked Naoto while pointing at his eye.
Gojo smiled and walked over to Naoto. He wasn't surprised at how fast Naoto entered his innate domain, he himself did it instantly, it's the matter of bringing your domain to reality that is the tricky part.
It took Gojo a 2 years to perfect his domain. If it were any other sorcerer, it would take them 6 months to enter their innate domain, and 7 years to bring their domain to reality and perfect it.
(A/n: This is all headcanon so don't take this as law. Only the truly talented sorcerers can do it in less time. Like Yuta, Gojo, and Yuki. Hakari is different as his cursed technique requires his domain to activate, he can use the train doors from his domain though.)
"Okay, now that you can enter your innate domain. I'll have you fight a sorcerer with a domain." Said Gojo.
"Am I fighting you?" Asked Naoto.
"Nope, that wouldn't be fair. My domain is super duper dangerous. So fighting a kid with it is a no, no." Said Gojo and he made an "X" with his arms.
"Then who is my opponent?" Asked Naoto with an annoyed expression.
"Kin-Chan, would you be so kind." Yelled Gojo as his voice echoed through the mine.
Out of nowhere, Hakari came falling out of the sky and landed right next to gojo. Following Hakari was Kirara.
"I'll be fighting him?" Said Naoto with a smile.
"Yes, he was the one who wanted to fight you in the first place." Said Gojo.
Naoto smile grew more and more as he was happy with this arrangement. He wanted to fight Hakari ever since he met him a few months ago.
"Alright, let's get started then." Said Naoto.
Gojo nodded and started to walk away with Kirara. Kirara obviously cheered on Hakari, while Gojo told Naoto to do his best.
"The time has finally come, I can feel the fever coming off of you. You're just like me huh?" Questioned Hakari.
"Maybe, I just really like fighting strong people. As much as I complain about fighting Gojo, I've always had a blast fighting him." Said Naoto.
"Now, enough with the chitchat. We got a fight to get too." Said Hakari as his curse energy flowed out.
Naoto nodded and his cursed energy began to flow out of his body too. He and Hakari started at each other waiting for the signal.
"Okay fighters, have a nice a clean fight. No eye poking, no biting, no groin shots." Said Gojo with a loud speaker.
"Fighters ready in, 3…..2…..1…..GOOOO" Said Gojo with a lot of enthusiasm.
Immediately Hakari rushed Naoto and threw a cursed energy enhanced punch at him. Naoto dodge and sent a kick at Hakari.
Hakari blocked it but felt electricity flow through his body and started shocking his muscles.
'So I can't protect myself from his cursed energy, man this is gonna be fun.' Thought Hakari as his sent a flurry of punches at Naoto.
Naoto dodged all of them as he could see the intent behind Hakari's attacks. Observation Haki was op, and when he unlocks future sight, he'll be even more powerful.
As Naoto continued to dodge, he found several openings and took advantage of them. He punched Hakari in his stomach, ribs, chest, and face.
Hakari was flustered and couldn't comprehend what just happened. The speed of Naoto's strikes caught him completely off guard.
Naoto back away and started walking slowly. He and Hakari eye balled each like two predators.
Naoto was the first to move and went on the offensive. Hakari tried to protect himself from Naoto's strikes, but Naoto's cursed energy was making it harder to defend himself.
Hakari was getting hyped up even more and decided it's time to use his technique. He waited until Naoto slowed down his attack and immediately kicked Naoto away from him.
But to Hakari's surprise, his leg went right through Naoto. This made alarm bells go off in his head. He felt like something was wrong.
Naoto stopped his assault and backed away to give Hakari some breathing room. He just exposed one of his secrets, now he wonders how Hakari will counter it.
"The hell was that just now? I kick went right through ya." Said Hakari.
"Figure it out yourself." Said Naoto.
Hakari scoffed and smiled as both of his hands made a chopping motion. Train doors appeared on both sides of Naoto and trapped him.
Naoto knew this was coming since he knew Hakari would want to use his domain. But to his surprise, Hakari rushed Naoto and tried to hit him, but his fist went through his head.
"I see now, this is part of your technique. This just got more interesting." Said Hakari as he put his hands together.
Immediately the surroundings changed and both Naoto and Hakari were in a white space with train station ticket holders.
The information about Hakari's technique flooded into Naoto's brain. Hakari soon sent a green ball at Naoto. He dodged it easily but soon, red doors formed out of thin air and tried to trap him.
"Riichi!" Said Hakari as the scenario changed inside the domain.
Suddenly the scenario started to play and Naoto seen the main character of the game.
"I'm sooooo late!!" Yelled Yuki.
(A/n: If you wanna know how Hakari's domains works, then look it up. I had to re-read the fight he had with Charles to get how it works.)
If Yuki passes through the gate and arrives of time, Hakari hits the jackpot. This was one of the conditions for Hakari to hit jackpot.
Naoto watched as Yuki arrived late and missed his train. The scenery changed back to the starting area.
"Damn, seems my luck isn't to good today." Said Hakari.
Naoto immediately appeared in front of Hakari and tried to strike him. He dodged and immediately conjured up Golden doors.
'Shit, he has a high chance.' Thought Naoto.
"Riichi!!" Said Hakari as the scene changed again.
The scene immediately switched to the final train station, meaning that Hakari had an 80% chance at hitting jackpot.
Hakari and Naoto began trading blows as the scene went on. Yumi had to get on the train, if she did then Hakari would not hit jackpot. But if she misses the train, he'll hit jackpot.
The scene played out and to Naoto's surprise, Yumi missed the train and Hakari hit jackpot.
An enormous amount of cursed energy started to form inside of Hakari. The domain broke down and revealed both Hakari and Naoto.
Hakari was overflowing with unlimited cursed energy. Music was playing and Hakari was dancing.
"HAHAHAHA, IT SEEMS LADY LUCK IS ON MY SIDE. THIS IS THE STUFF." Yelled Hakari.
Naoto looked at Hakari with a smile. The adrenaline was pumping and getting him hyped up. He thought that it was time to use one of his favorite techniques.
An immense amount of cursed energy started to flow out of Naoto's body. The color of his cursed energy turned from blue to white. Electricity started to circulate all around him and form a protective barrier.
His hair started to rise and turn a powder white color. His black eyes turned royal blue in color. This was a technique he stole from one of his favorite characters.
With his transformation complete, he rushed Hakari immediately at the speed of lightning. Before Hakari could even process what happened, he was sent flying across the mine.
Hakari got knocked into the forest right outside of the mine. This obviously left some damage to the terrain.
-POV: Satoru Gojo-
It seem Kinji and Naoto are getting serious. Well Kinji is, Naoto is still holding back. He hasn't used any of his large scale attacks to put Hakari down yet. I wonder what he's planning.
"Umm Gojo-sensei? Is it okay to let this battle continue? The land will be destroyed if we don't stop it." Said Kirara.
"Nah it's fine, Tengen's Barrier is protecting the outside world from discovering this place. And when the battle is over, it will all be restored." I said to my adorable student.
I continued to watch Naoto thrash Kinji around like it was nothing. I have to say, that new form in powerful. Way stronger than his Lightning armor.
Naoto's lightning armor boosts all his physical abilities while also providing him with a solid defense. This new transformation is practically the same but I can tell there are some differences.
Like how Naoto is dodging automatically. His nervous system is being stimulated with a constant flow of electricity and information, which allows his brain to make decisions for him instead being the one to dodge.
(A/n: That's really the only difference between the two abilities. Godspeed looks cooler so he'll be using more.)
Naoto is a rare prodigy, he will definitely be one of the students to be on par or surpass me one day. Hopefully I'll be alive to see it.
-POV End, Back with Naoto and Hakari-
Naoto was the main aggressor, not allowing Hakari to gain any ground. Hakari would throw punches now and then, but Naoto would just dodge them and hit him with a counter attack.
This has been going on for the past four minutes. Hakari has 11 seconds until his jackpot ends.
11…
Hakari tries to hit Naoto but he dodges again and hits him in the gut sending him into a tree.
10…
Naoto stops and waits for Hakari to recover. All of his wounds healed at a fast rate, thanks for the automatic reverse cursed technique that came with his domain.
9…
Naoto begins to walk towards Hakari slowly, Hakari sees this and rushes at him with a crazed smile on his face.
8…
Hakari struggles to land a hit on Naoto as he dodge every punch flawlessly. Naoto coated his leg in Lightning and kicked Hakari at that speed.
7…
This sent the boy flying once again. But that didn't stop him from rushing back at Naoto, who hit him with three lightning fast punches.
6…
This sent Hakari flying once again, but this time he stopped himself from crashing into a tree. When he looked up, he seen Naoto pointing at him with his hand.
(Image)
At the tip of Naoto's fingers was a ball of lightning slowly forming. He put a lot of energy into this technique.
5…
Gojo from afar seen the amount of cursed energy being put into the attack and immediately grabbed Kirara and disappeared.
4…
Naoto continued to charge the attack, but every time the ball of lightning grew bigger. Naoto would shrink it down to the size of a ping pong ball.
3…
2…
1…
Hakari's domain ended, and when it did. He heard these words come out of Naoto's mouth.
As soon as he finished, a beam of electricity was shot out of the finger tips of Naoto's hand.
Hakari tried to cast his domain again but he was too late. He saw his life flash before his eyes. He closed his eyes and accepted what was about to happen with a smile.
BOOOOOOOOOM!!!
A lone boom could be heard. But what surprised Hakari, was the fact that he was still alive. He opened his eyes and seen Gojo standing right in front of him with his fingers crossed.
He slowly turned around as he smelled burning wood. What he seen was pure mass destruction, trees were nowhere to be found, there was a giant ravine made my Naoto's technique.
"Okay I think that's enough for today. You win Naoto." Said Gojo.
"Kin-Chan are you okay?" Asked Kirara as they checked of there was any damage.
Thankfully Hakari was perfectly fine. His domain healed him from his previous injuries he suffered at the hands of Naoto.
Hakari stood up and walked towards Naoto. He stuck out his hand and Naoto took it. They both shook hands and smiled at each other.
"To feel that close to death was exhilarating. We have to fight on a regular basis from here on out." Said Hakari.
"Yeah, but that's only when I have time. I'am studying some theory about cursed spirits." Said Naoto.
"That's fine, as long as we get to fight I'm good." Said Hakari.
"Okay my dear students, it's time to go home." Said Gojo.
They all gathered around Gojo and disappeared from the mine. After they left, the land slowly returned to its former state.
This battle was witnessed by the one who set up the barrier around the mine. She looked at Naoto with interest but also worry.
"What are you up to now Kenjaku? Your child is strong for his age." Said Tengen.
This marked the day Naoto drew the interest of one of the most powerful sorcerers in jujutsu tech.
