### Chapter 5: The Man Who Changes the Structure of the World!
"A small scene...?"
Ryota's voice snapped the two women back to reality.
Iori Utahime gazed at the desolate, scorched earth where not a single blade of grass grew, resembling a land ravaged by a drought demon. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
If *this* was a small scene, then what were her battles with Cursed Spirits?
"Releasing flames by transforming Cursed Energy... is this his Innate Technique?"
After hesitating, Utahime couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked.
For Ryota to spew such a massive wave of fire from his mouth was definitely not something an ordinary person without Cursed Energy could do.
She had been absolutely focused just now and hadn't missed a single movement Ryota made.
She was certain she hadn't seen Ryota take out any Cursed Tool to assist or release the flames.
In her understanding, although she still couldn't sense any trace of Cursed Energy, she could only categorize this within the realm of techniques she understood.
She leaned more towards the idea that it was a technique a Jujutsu Sorcerer was born with—an Innate Technique.
"It's not a technique. As you can see, I don't have a shred of Cursed Energy, so I can't be said to possess an Innate Technique."
Ryota had one hand in his pocket, the other spread casually at his side.
Even after obtaining the template's power, it was a fact that his body still possessed no Cursed Energy.
To people of this *Jujutsu Kaisen* world...
Anyone who looked at Ryota would come to the conclusion that he was an ordinary person without Cursed Energy.
Of course, if we're talking about combat strength, that's a different matter entirely.
"No Cursed Energy?!"
Utahime's first reaction was disbelief.
"So, what you used wasn't an Innate Technique either," Mei Mei added.
"I disdain to hide anything regarding this matter."
Ryota's expression was indifferent.
Having personally experienced Uchiha Madara's life through the System and subsequently obtaining 35% inheritance, Ryota had also developed the arrogance belonging to a powerhouse.
"Although you've likely never heard these two terms before, no matter. I'll let you know in advance... about the power used by the man who will change the structure of the world."
"The power I use is called Chakra, and the *Gōka Mekkyaku* just now is a *Ninjutsu*, specifically a Fire Release *Ninjutsu*."
With those words, Ryota turned and walked away.
"Change the structure of the world—?!!"
Both Utahime and Mei Mei were shaken to their cores by the content of Ryota's words.
If anyone else had said this sentence, whether it was Utahime or Mei Mei, they would have dismissed it as a fantasy.
Jujutsu Sorcerers and Cursed Spirits, along with Curse Users, had been fighting for thousands of years, and ordinary people were completely unaware of it all.
In the current era, due to the impact of Japan's bubble economy, the pressure on people had increased sharply.
This led to an explosion in the number of Cursed Spirits born from human negative emotions, and Curse Users ran even more rampant.
Thus, the Gojo clan's possessor of the [Six Eyes], the Sky Eyes—Gojo Satoru—was born in response to the times, balancing the structure of the Jujutsu world from the shadows.
Under that pair of Sky Eyes, neither the rampant Curse Users nor the Cursed Spirits scattered everywhere were anything to fear.
From the moment of his birth, Gojo Satoru signified the birth of the "Strongest."
When Gojo Satoru was a child, various people had inquired about him, wanting to claim the hundred million bounty on his head.
But they were all deterred, unable to move, by a single glare from him.
Thereafter, all the Curse Users vanished due to this deterrence.
The might of the Six Eyes suppressed all enemies in the world.
If Utahime and Mei Mei had to choose one person capable of breaking the current structure of the Jujutsu world...
Then that person would undoubtedly be Gojo Satoru—
Before meeting Ryota, if asked such a thing, the two would have given this answer without hesitation.
And they would have denied any other answer.
But now.
Regarding Ryota's arrogant declaration this time, neither woman felt the slightest urge to refute him.
Although their contact with Ryota was very brief...
His two attacks had assaulted their vision and understanding time and time again.
In their hearts, they had already categorized Ryota, who was roughly their age, as having Special Grade strength!
They even involuntarily began to compare Ryota in their minds with the natural-born wielder of the [Six Eyes], the [Strongest] Gojo Satoru.
And they got the feeling that even facing Gojo Satoru, Ryota would not necessarily lose!
However!
What Mei Mei and Utahime didn't know, or more accurately, what they subconsciously ignored, was—
Ryota wasn't talking about the Jujutsu world.
He meant... the entire world!
"Wait! Your name—"
Snapping back to reality, Utahime shouted loudly in the direction Ryota had left, wanting to ask his name.
However, Ryota's figure on the horizon disappeared from her view just as she shouted.
"Looks like I'll have to ask next time."
"To be honest, I'm a bit curious about a man like that too."
Mei Mei rested her slender right hand on her waist, watching the direction Ryota had left, her eyes full of interest.
An existence like that, even if unheard of before, perhaps practically nameless...
Once he appears, he certainly won't continue to keep a low profile.
She had a premonition that it wouldn't be too long before she met this powerful, mysterious, and arrogant black-haired young man again.
"That's all we can do."
Although the time was short, Ryota had left an extremely deep impression on Utahime.
The girl thought to herself that the next time they met, she definitely had to ask for Ryota's name clearly.
At the same time, she planned to ask if there was any information on Ryota after returning to Jujutsu High.
"The Grade 2 Cursed Spirit has been eliminated, so our mission is complete. We can go back..."
Her gaze swept over the large swaths of cracked, scorched earth, and Utahime's voice stopped abruptly.
Her clear eyes widened slightly as she realized something belatedly.
Her movements were slightly stiff as she looked at Mei Mei, whose expression was also cracking a bit.
"The Curtain!"
As Jujutsu Sorcerers, every time they exorcised a Cursed Spirit, they would cast a barrier called a [Curtain].
This was to avoid involving ordinary people and to prevent ordinary people from seeing Jujutsu battles.
But because they were trapped in the Cursed Spirit's barrier, neither of them had had time to cast a [Curtain].
Subsequently, the appearance of an inconceivable existence like Ryota made them ignore it as well, focusing all their attention on him.
Because of this...
"Next on the news, a fire occurred in a certain area of Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture."
"The cause was a gas pipeline that had not been repaired for a long time. Deterioration of the pipeline led to a gas leak which triggered an explosion."
"Now we go live to our reporter at the scene."
