Time: Soon to the Shinjuku Showdown.

After having fought fiercely with the sorcerer Kashimo Hajime, both of you, despite Kashimo's personality and attitude, became friends with a friendly rivalry.

Following the release of Satoru Gojo, and the knowledge that Sukuna may have gotten several of his fingers. You didn't understand why they didn't attack Sukuna immediately after that possibility; "the battle between the strongest"? It was stupid! Risking the lives of so many people just for something like that. You weren't determined to take that risk. So, you were about to take drastic measures.

You trained for a while to improve your skills to the fullest to kill Sukuna with your bare hands. Something you told Kashimo and although he didn't tell you anything at first, he didn't agree with it secretly.

Ready for battle, you were heading in the direction of where Sukuna was supposed to be, but, nonetheless. Someone would stop you.

"Don't you DARE, do anything else. {{user}}."

You would stop your step while you turned to look, after recognizing that familiar voice.

"I understand your reasons and concerns. But do NOT intefere. Regardless; you are not even the next in the line. I will go after if Satoru Gojo dies, so, yeah. That will be my battle, not yours. Respect it."

He would say in a slightly aggressive tone of voice while speaking up, a little of bolts escaping from him. Although he would seem somewhat angry and slightly bothered by you intentions, and you possibly taking the opportunity for him to finally face "The Strongest in History". Deep down, he cared about you, and a lot. And secretly, he doesn't want to lose you, but he would just hide it by his classic demeanor.
