Under everyone's gaze, the new arrival took custody of the star plasma vessel without moving from his spot and by just extending his hand.
The peculiar thing remained in the fact that this guy also had blindfolds over his eyes but Gojo didn't even entertain the idea of someone else also possessing the Six Eyes.
"Let me go! I am not a suitcase for everyone to carry me like this!" The girl shouted since she was being held by Haru from the back of her collar. However, Haru wasn't physically holding her at all, to save the girl from any kind of injury.
"Another shithead after the bounty? It has already been put down, you copycat."
Gojo smirked at the boy who looked no younger than him yet he indeed was an idiot to harbour any intention of killing Amanai. After all, the money over the girl has already been brought down.
However, "It was taken down, you prideful snort. All this hotchpotch was to wear you out and finish that girl. " Strangely it was the man who was holding a long blade over his shoulder and cursed spirit around his shoulder and neck, spoke up.
The way the older guy warily stood against the new arrival signified that the two intruders weren't with each other.
"Don't make it difficult for me, girl. If you want to live, stay silent. "
Amanai gulped at the intense glare she felt from behind those blindfolds and the overwhelming intent made her shut her mouth within a moment.
Haru just looked away for a moment and the very next instance, he found a blade nearing his face.
"Not too smart, buddy. "Raising his hand, Haru pinched the blade with his index and thumb before pressing it with some percentage of his strength.
*Clink*
Under the slightly widened eyes of Toji, the Inverted Spear of Heaven which could nullify any cursed technique, broke like a glass and shattered into hundreds of pieces.
'This is bad.... ' Toji was about to make some distance when suddenly he felt his body freezing in mid-air.
Before he could have leaped away from this ominous radar of his opponent, Toji found his arms being cut off and his body thrown back at an unimaginable pace.
Haru's control over infinity has grown to a level where he could manipulate the space around him without exposing his eyes or straining himself excessively. He just needed to be precise with his commands or maybe everyone around him would end up in great danger.
"What are your motives regarding Riko-chan? "
Haru turned his gaze toward the possible vessel of Kenjaku if only he didn't stray from his path now that Haru had intervened with the timeline.
Haru didn't care either way.
"Just bringing her to another world where she won't have to face dangers every other day. Quite a noble man I am, right? "
From the looks of it, it didn't seem either of the two Jujutsu High sorcerers buy any statement Haru threw.
"Don't. "With a flash Gojo's cursed technique to manipulate infinity was subdued temporarily.
Gram Demolition has many use and could be utilized to negate anything that was supernatural. It wouldn't cease Gojo's ability to control infinity but it surely would suppress its function to the minimal for the time being.
Gojo's inability to use the technique he was awakened with surely brought a sense of utter shock but his outer appearance remained the same to save himself from being insulted by his opponent.
'This is bad...should I try using Curse Amplification?'
Using the Reverse curse technique to bring out the Red was out of his reach as of now, but the endless void of Blue was still within his range.
Lost in choice, Gojo decided to throw everything he had at this unexpected mammoth.
"Suguru, I need a distraction. And if possible, separate Amanai from him. "
"Understood. "
Geto didn't have to ask, what his friend had in mind since more than being knowledgeable about Gojo's skills, Geto trusted his friends above everything.
Calling forth numerous small infant-like curse spirits with wings over their backs, Geto launched them at the blindfolded assailant, intending to attack him by surprise.
But as he expected, the boy had a similar skillset as Gojo that didn't allow the spirits to fly past a certain distance before they slowed down at an almost immovable level.
However, attacking the boy wasn't Geto's initial plan at all. Rather he just wanted to block his vision, since another spirit in the form of a one-eyed dog lunged toward Amanai, intending to snatch the girl away.
But...
"It's futile."
With just his words, all the cursed spirits blasted away like the guy has used Speech based cursed technique, which was impossible for him to possess. However, to think that someone was able to destroy those many spirits without physically moving a bit was a lot concerning.
Suguru was preparing to attack once more with his strongest spirits this time and Gojo was preparing to unleash his technique from the perfect angle when an invisible beam of energy rendered them motionless.
"The fuck....what the heck was that... " Geto didn't voice it out but he had the same question as his friend as he felt all his curse energy immediately getting suppressed and a nauseous feeling assaulting him.
However, Haru didn't answer them since he was already busy dealing with a persistent hunter.
Sensing the attack from behind, Haru didn't budge since he knew it was just a diversion from the real attack. And as he thought, Toji with his both arms missing was right in front of Haru with his both feet pressed against the barrier which separates the world from the teenager.
"Quite devoted to your job, eh? "Haru asked with a smirk.
"The pay is nice. "Toji replied with his own smirk but as he thought, attacking the guy again was fruitless since his body was once again stuck at the same place.
"You know I really admire you, Fushiguro-san. But... " As Haru said his index finger was ignited with a red orb, which pushed Gojo's eyes to their widest extent before Haru finished his words, "...we all have our jobs to finish, right?"
A gaping hole in baseball size allowed the natural light to pass through Toji's chest as Haru obliterated Toji's blood-pumping organ to end this battle.
He didn't want to torture Toji in the first place but to deal with the other two, he didn't finish the Sorcerer Killer right off the bat.
*Dhak*
Under everyone's shocked gaze, Haru let Toji's lifeless body fall flat on the ground. Doing a simple small prayer for the peace of his soul, inwardly, Haru decided to move back to his world when suddenly...
"Wait...please let me say goodbye to Kuroi...please... "
The tear-eyed Amanai requested with a genuine plea flowing through her voice. She has already surrendered to her fate since she knew this new guy was stronger than Geto and Gojo. There was no fighting him anymore.
Rather if she was really getting taken away for unknown reasons, she wants to at least say goodbye to her only family member.
"Alright. " Haru wasn't in a rush since time stops in his real world when he was on a Floor so he has nothing to hurry about.
Straightening the girl, he released her before she dashed toward the maid.
"You...are you from the Gojo clan? How are you able to wield something that shouldn't be in possession of anyone else than me? "
Gojo's usual lively and casual demeanor was nowhere to be seen. The skills Haru has shown until now must have made him baffled beyond belief by now.
Regardless, Haru just let his lips lift a little as he deliberately spoke in a cocky tone, "Sorry but I don't answer to weaklings."
*****
A/N: - I am choosing the routes and dialogues from Haru considering the plot since I don't want to alter the storyline much from the canon.
I might bring Haru at times of the final battle with Sukuna as well.
There's a possibility but nothing is set in stone.
Well, I hope you guys liked the chapter.
