Born as Gojo Satoru Cousin

"Satoru Nii-san, let me deal with Sukuna."

"Are you kidding, Eiji? This is my fight. I don't need you to interfere."

Of course, Eiji had anticipated this reaction. If his cousin agreed so easily, he wouldn't be Gojo Satoru, who was confident in his abilities and reputation as The Strongest, believing himself to be invincible. With his arrogance and pride, it was impossible for him to back down.

"Don't you Nii-san realize that Dismantle just now? It's an upgraded version after Mahoraga's adaptation to Infinity! In other words, Nii-san would have died if I hadn't pushed you earlier."

"I don't need a lecture from you. I know what I'm doing. I admit I was a little careless earlier, after I learned this, I won't foolishly accept Dismantle."

"Really? Dismantle is invisible, it would be very difficult for Nii-san to avoid it."

"So? Are you saying you can see it?"

"I can't. But I can feel its arrival."

"If you can, I can too."

"Nii-san can't."

"You!!!"

Satoru and Eiji stared at each other, reflections of each other's faces visible in each other's Six Eyes. They both refused to yield.

"..."

On the other hand, Sukuna felt humiliated to be ignored. Without hesitation, he launched a regular Dismantle at them.

*WHOOSH!*

Only Eiji didn't move, while Satoru stepped back to avoid the incoming Dismantle.

"See? Nii-san can't distinguish between the regular Dismantle or the upgraded one."

Protected by Infinity, Eiji didn't need to dodge. The regular Dismantle wasn't enough to penetrate Infinity.

"Tsk, after a long time not seeing you, your changes are drastic, Eiji. You've become so annoying as if you're a different person. If it weren't for your Six Eyes, I doubt you're Eiji."

"No one remains unchanged, it's just a matter of time."

"Do as you please. But make sure you win! If I see you losing, I'll come back."

Finally, Satoru compromised. Despite his arrogance and power, he was more human than he appeared.

"Thank you for trusting me, Nii-san." Eiji said with a light smile.

"I'll leave the rest to you."

"You want to run away, Gojo Satoru?"

Seeing the family debate end, Sukuna couldn't help but mock Satoru, who was retreating from the fight.

"Don't misunderstand, Sukuna. I haven't lost. After I know your Dismantle can penetrate my Infinity, do you think I can't do anything?"

"Could you have forgotten, from the beginning, I'm the one who has the upper hand in this fight. Because this is my cousin's request, I will let him take the role of defeating the King of Curse, receiving honor and glory after your downfall."

Turning to face Sukuna, Satoru delivered his sarcastic words.

"You're very good at making people upset." Sukuna sneered. Only he was the one who looked down on others, not the other way around.

"Want to fight me? Defeat Eiji first! If you can."

Leaving behind a final insult, Satoru's figure disappeared, returning to the location of his allies watching the fight.

"Brat, don't expect to die easily."

"Really? Prove it through actions, not just words."

"Your arrogance is just like Gojo Satoru. In the end, you're just a slightly bigger fish than the others."

"..."

Ignoring Sukuna's sarcastic comments, Eiji scanned the other party with Six Eyes and Kenbunshoku Haki at the same time.

'Nii-san has destroyed Agito and Mahoraga, the Ten Shadows Technique is no longer a threat. The effect of Unlimited Void hasn't disappeared, Sukuna can't use Reverse Cursed Technique, and his domain can't be used for a while.'

'In the original work, Nii-san was killed by the Dismantle enhanced by Mahoraga's adaptation pattern. But apparently, there's a price to pay for Sukuna. Because his body is still taking Megumi's form, Sukuna has to make a Binding Vow that includes additional incantations and additional hands later.'

'Because of this, Sukuna can only release Slash That Cuts The World if two conditions are met. It was finally anticipated after Yuta injured the second mouth and Maki cut off Sukuna's two hands. Thanks to that, Sukuna is having trouble releasing Slash That Cuts The World.'

In a short time, Eiji had analyzed Sukuna's condition. Moreover, the wounds on Sukuna's body hadn't healed, which proved that he couldn't use Reverse Cursed Technique at this time.

"..."

Eiji's indifferent attitude only made Sukuna feel belittled.

"You think you can defeat me, brat? Even Gojo Satoru couldn't do it."

"Are those your last words, King of Curse?"

"Damn brat..."

*WHOOSH!*

Suddenly, Sukuna slid forward with incredible speed, using Dismantle towards Eiji. However, before the attack could hit, Infinity activated, creating an invisible barrier that stopped the attack in its tracks.

*BOOM!*

With a swift movement, Eiji manifested Blue in his right hand. The gravity sphere exploded towards Sukuna, pulling in the surrounding debris.

Sukuna jumped back nimbly, but Eiji was already behind him, dashing forward with incredible speed thanks to the boost from Blue.

"You're slow." Eiji said while hitting Sukuna with a kick enhanced by Busoshoku Haki.

*BAM!*

The blow was strong enough to throw Sukuna into the building behind him, destroying the remaining floors.

"HA HA HA… No wonder you're arrogant, brat."

Sukuna got up with a mocking laugh, even though blood was dripping from the corner of his lips.

*SWOOSH!* *SWOOSH!* *SWOOSH!*

With one movement, he released Dismantle, a deadly attack that split the air along its trajectory.

However, Eiji had anticipated it. Quickly, he summoned Red and released it to block Dismantle.

*BOOM!*

A huge explosion occurred between them, creating a shockwave that destroyed the remaining buildings around them.

Before the dust settled, Eiji continued his attack. He teleported behind Sukuna, taking advantage of a gap in the enemy's defense.

*BAM!*

With a punch enhanced with infused Haoshoku Haki, he hit Sukuna's back, sending the King of Curse flying hard to the ground.

"This is just the beginning." Eiji said while manifesting Scarlet in his hand.

Red flames blazed around his body, creating a heat wave that made the air vibrate. He swung his arm, launching a barrage of fire attacks towards Sukuna.

*SHUA!* *SHUA!* *SHUA!*

*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*

Sukuna tried to block the attack with his Cursed Energy, but the Scarlet flames were too hot. One of the explosions hit his body, leaving visible burns on his skin. Despite this, he just smiled, revealing his blood-stained teeth.

"You think this is enough to stop me?"

"..."

Eiji didn't answer. Instead, he summoned Cyan, creating a layer of ice that froze the battlefield around them.

Sukuna tried to move, but his feet were stuck by the ice that suddenly appeared.

"Damn annoying!"

He shattered the ice with his incredible physical strength.
