3. The Perfect Moment for Toji Fushiguro to Strike Gojo Satoru

After Gojo and Geto fought off powerful Jujutsu sorcerers who attempted to attack Riko Amanai, they discovered that someone had placed a bounty to eliminate Riko Amanai within 47 hours.

Upon learning that Kuroi had been kidnapped, Riko Amanai refused to be taken to the Tokyo Jujutsu High. She wanted to say goodbye to Kuroi before surrendering her body to Master Tengen and insisted on joining the mission to save Kuroi, who had cared for her since she was a child. Kuroi was believed to be held hostage by bounty hunters in Okinawa. Gojo and Geto granted her request. They boarded a flight from Tokyo to Okinawa and successfully rescued Kuroi from her captors.

Since the start of the mission, Gojo had continuously activated his Six Eyes Technique for two straight days to detect any approaching threats. During this period, he did not sleep. He even delayed their return to Tokyo to escort Riko Amanai to Master Tengen as the new vessel. Instead, Gojo invited Riko to enjoy her last moments by taking a day off to have fun and relax in Okinawa.

Geto had previously warned Gojo about delaying their return to Tokyo, worried about Gojo’s condition as he planned to stay awake for three days straight while using the Six Eyes Technique non-stop. However, Gojo reassured Geto that he was fine, especially with Geto, who was equally strong, by his side.

On the third day, at 3 p.m., Gojo and Geto managed to bring Riko to the gate of Tokyo Jujutsu High. All they had to do was deliver her to become Master Tengen’s new vessel. Feeling safe, Gojo deactivated his Six Eyes Technique after using it continuously for three days.

Suddenly, Toji appeared behind Gojo and stabbed him through the back, piercing his chest with a sword. Fortunately, Gojo did not sustain a fatal wound from Toji’s attack. Gojo then told Toji that it was foolish of him to still target Riko Amanai, as the bounty to kill her had officially been withdrawn at 11 a.m. Toji revealed that he was the one who had pulled the bounty.

Toji then explained that, to defeat an opponent as invincible as Gojo, he needed to prioritize and set an elaborate trap. Toji was certain that Gojo would only lower his guard and deactivate his Six Eyes Technique if there was a time constraint on the bounty. Gojo was stunned by Toji’s clever strategy, which had perfectly anticipated his thinking and ensnared him.
