When it comes to the Limitless technique, if you ask who in this world—or even the previous one—understands it best...
Besides Yuu himself, it would naturally be Toji Fushiguro, who arrived here with his memories intact.
Born Toji Zenin into one of the three great sorcerer clans, he left the Zenin clan early on, taking his wife's surname, Fushiguro. But due to the long-standing rivalry between the Zenin and Gojo clans, he knew quite a bit about the Limitless technique.
And precisely because he knew enough, Toji understood just how difficult it was to break through the Limitless defense, especially in a world devoid of Cursed Techniques and Cursed Tools.
Toji himself was an extremely rare individual with zero Cursed Energy. Even knowing the mechanics, he couldn't exploit them, as all known methods to bypass Limitless were tied to Cursed Energy.
...
Feeling his blade stopped by Yuu, Toji didn't hesitate to let go and retreat, his face full of displeasure.
"Tch!"
Once Toji had retreated several meters and steadied himself, Yuu released the debris and the long blade suspended in mid-air.
The rubble clattered to the ground, and Yuu crushed the blade in the middle. Aside from decent craftsmanship... it was nothing special.
"Looks like today's business is a bust."
Toji smiled. "But this works out... I can test just how much you've grown. Consider it me taking your measure."
"I hope you can give me a surprise too."
Yuu teased back with a smile.
"Heh... quite confident, aren't you, Gojo brat?"
As Toji spoke, Yuu noticed a stern-faced middle-aged man appearing on a nearby rooftop.
Short black hair, rugged features, and a scar near his eye.
He held a katana wrapped in bandages, covered in dense text written with 'Nen'.
"You're late, Doron."
The man Toji called "Doron" was smoking a cigarette, looking down at the situation.
"Since you're not dead, I guess I'm not too late..."
After glancing at Yuu and Kurapika, Doron tossed the katana to Toji and asked, "Need a hand?"
"No, I'm enough for this guy. You'd only get in the way."
Toji caught the katana, unhurriedly unwrapping the bandages and wrapping them around his hand instead.
Soon, the black blade, covered in dense patterns, was revealed.
The intricate patterns were circular, the size of eyeballs. upon closer inspection... each circle was a terrified human face, blurry but distinguishable.
Now unbound, the blade emanated a massive amount of Nen, which enveloped Toji.
"What an ominous aura..." Kurapika whispered.
Although he hadn't yet learned the concept of 'Nen', seeing the black blade in Toji's hand gave him heart palpitations.
But glancing at the white-haired man beside him, Kurapika saw he remained relaxed, seemingly under no pressure.
The next moment!
Before Kurapika could react, Toji charged with the black blade!
Faster than before!
He flashed in front of Yuu almost instantly, slashing horizontally from a distance, releasing a slash made of 'Nen'!
The slash passed Yuu but left a deep gash on the walls on either side!
Where the walls were hit, black marks appeared on the edges, slowly absorbing the aura radiating from Yuu and Kurapika... In other words, attacks from this blade devoured the life energy of those nearby.
"Interesting..."
Yuu smiled, his interest piqued.
Although he could completely block the black blade's attacks and avoid having his Nen drained... Kurapika beside him couldn't.
So he teleported himself and Kurapika to a high-rise rooftop.
Toji, seemingly boosted in speed and physical strength by the black blade's powerful Nen, leaped into the air the moment Yuu appeared, slashing downwards fiercely!
A sharp attack accompanied by whistling wind!
But the next moment, Yuu dispersed it with a wave of his hand, turning it into malicious Nen that dissipated into the surroundings.
Then!
The two clashed almost every second, fighting their way across rooftops for hundreds of meters in just over ten seconds. Toji left terrifying slash marks on every building they passed!
Swish swish Sharp attacks never ceased!
Even from a distance, Doron could clearly hear the wind generated by Toji's swings.
Seeing Yuu constantly flashing in the air with a relaxed expression, Doron couldn't help but marvel:
"What a monster, to fight Toji to a standstill!"
The black blade in Toji's hand was a famous cursed sword that had claimed over ten thousand lives.
It devoured others' Nen to feed itself, seemingly strengthening endlessly... but the cost of using it was equally high.
The user was usually the first to be severely drained. A weaker Nen user would be sucked dry in minutes.
As for ordinary people... even close contact with the sealed blade would kill them in days.
Only Toji, with his special constitution and complete lack of life energy, could use it. And with the blade's 'Nen' boost, he could unleash terrifying physical power!
That was why Doron marveled at Yuu being a monster, and now understood... why Toji didn't want him to interfere!
After a few minutes of fighting!
Yuu also realized the uniqueness of the black blade and roughly understood why Toji's strength had skyrocketed...
However, he also saw that even Toji, in his puppet body, couldn't use the black blade for long.
Although the aura didn't spread, every time Toji swung the blade... a corresponding black mark appeared on his body due to the force of the swing.
But Toji didn't seem to care.
As the battle progressed, his movements became sharper and faster, seemingly enjoying the thrill of combat after a long time.
Seeing Yuu dodge his slash, Toji's smile grew more natural. He kicked off the ground violently, chasing Yuu's aura!
This time, he gripped the blade with both hands, spinning before launching himself, instantly appearing in front of Yuu for a fierce horizontal slash!
Boom—————!
A deep gash appeared on the wall of a building a street away behind Yuu, causing a loud noise!
Yuu, hovering in mid-air, looked at Toji nearby, raised his palm, and gathered Cursed Energy at his index fingertip!
A red glowing sphere formed instantly.
"Cursed Technique Reversal—Red!"
The next moment, the sphere at Yuu's fingertip condensed the light beam and unleashed the accumulated power forward!
The astonishing impact hit Toji in mid-air, the powerful repulsive force sending him flying over a hundred meters!
Finally, he crashed onto a rooftop, leaving a deep crater surrounded by dust!
Lying in the ruins, Toji quickly got up, gripping his long blade and looking at Yuu hovering in the air, laughing genuinely:
"Haven't seen him for a while... this guy has become stronger than I imagined."
After that hit, Toji was certain Yuu had mastered the Reverse Cursed Technique, fully awakening the Limitless technique. His strength was on a different level now.
But this didn't dampen his confidence; instead, his fighting spirit soared... After all, from the moment he left the Zenin clan, he had completely cut ties with sorcerers.
Most of his subsequent missions were assassinating famous sorcerers. Not only did he make a lot of money, but he also made the Zenin clan, which he loathed the most, lose face.
It even gave him the confidence—to challenge the pinnacle of the Jujutsu world!
At the same time, Yuu's fighting spirit was also ignited!
The next moment, he flashed in front of Toji, raising his hand in a pistol gesture, gathering another astonishingly powerful 'Red'!
The moment the impact burst forth!
Toji could have dodged by stepping aside, but he chose to charge and swing his blade!
'Red' and Toji's slash made contact but didn't affect each other, instead rushing towards their respective targets!
Missing the critical moment to dodge, Toji had to block with his blade, taking the full force of the monstrous 'Red', being pushed back horizontally by the impact, leaving two trails under his feet.
He held on for a moment, but was eventually blasted backwards again!
And Toji's astonishing slash!
The moment it hit Yuu's Limitless barrier, the part contacting Yuu instantly turned into energy-laden Nen and dispersed!
Like a fierce gale hitting an invisible wall!
A second after contact, the terrifying impact cracked the ground behind Yuu!
The resulting hurricane blew past Yuu, spreading dust violently.
When the commotion ended, only the ground beneath Yuu and Kurapika remained unharmed.
At this moment, the late-arriving Doron looked at the dust filling the air and the terrifying marks left on the buildings.
He knew even Toji couldn't take down this opponent... objectively speaking, Toji was just getting beaten up.
Yuu hadn't sustained a single scratch.
Rationally, they should retreat...
At the same time, Yuu noticed that although he had protected Kurapika from the attack's impact, due to the black blade's properties...
He couldn't stop Kurapika's own aura from leaking out.
So Kurapika was in bad shape, having fallen unconscious at some point... Yuu needed to find a place to treat him quickly.
"Let's fight another time..."
Yuu glanced in Toji's direction, then teleported away.
