Jujutsu Tech...

Right after Satoshi used instant transmission to allow Yuji and Todo to fight against the special-grade cursed spirit, Hanami, Seemingly, the reason for this was the development of both Yuji and Todo's abilities. However, the real reason Satoshi had left was because he was curious about the powerful energy signature he felt nearby.

He noticed a horde of cursed spirits—roughly around four thousand—had surrounded him, many of whom ranged from special-grade to first-grade.

However, there was a distinctly powerful being among them hovering nearby that caught Satoshi's attention; he appeared to be a young man with matching cyan hair and eyes, along with little zig-zag symbols at the corner of his eyes.

The curses surrounding the white-haired man slowly approached him, and Satoshi smiled. He was going to have some fun after all...

Satoshi raised his right arm, charging a condensed cursed energy blast from his hand. The Cyan-haired man was most curious about this choice to observe what his opponent would do. Satoshi released the energy blast upwards. Right after he did, the energy shot off in multiple directions, immediately exorcising all of the curses present, immensely surprising this Cyan-haired warrior.

"You want to dance with me, too? You didn't have to use those cursed spirits to draw me out, you know?" Satoshi cockily asked.

This mysterious man remained silent for a moment, observing how Satoshi stood. He was analyzing this man for any potential weak points in his fighting style, but he realized that his opponent had no openings; he realized what he was told about this man was true; this would truly be the test he lived for. The cyan-haired man smiled.

"So you're truly Gojo Satoshi. Tell me, did you earn the title of the strongest? Or were you simply born as such?" The Cyan-haired man asked.

"To be honest, it was earned." Satoshi answered.

"You've earned it, you say?" The cyan-haired man asked back.

"While it's true I was already born strong, I was born with the Divine Eyes Technique after all; some people may say the title of 'the strongest' is mine by birthright. But... the real reason I'm 'the strongest' is because I've never been satisfied with my strength; I keep pushing myself to the edge and beyond, time after time." Satoshi answered.

"Interesting answer... You just get stronger; it's as simple as that to you? Don't you worry about connecting with others? How can you love those beneath you... while knowing nothing of weakness? That's something I never understood. I was always surrounded by those as feeble as the dirt beneath my feet."

"Tell me, what do you define strength within the realm of Jujutsu sorcery? Er... I didn't quite catch your name." Satoshi responded, rubbing his head sheepishly after realizing he didn't know this guy.
