Gojo came rubbing his eyes, his white hair tousled over head.
"Huh, who's this boy, old hag?" He looked at Hojo and his colourful iridescent eyes.
"I'm Hojo, eighth six-eye user." Hojo replied immediately, snatching the chance from Yahaech.
"Six-eye user..." Interest flickered in Hojo's blue eyes. "Looks like you are weak to die at your age."
He came and stood before Hojo, inspecting him. He looked at him from different angles, his hand resting on his chin.
'He will never change,' Izumi thought, grimacing as he watched Gojo.
Gojo remained watching Hojo for few moments before he asked about why his eyes colour was different than other six-eye users.
"That's because he has complete inheritance of my strength."
Yahaech stepped forward, answering the question.
"No way, he's the weakest here. How can he get your full powers?!"
Gojo reeled back in his causual sense of humour and over reaction.
"He hasn't awakened my all powers yet," Yahaech clarified, "and also he's still alive."
Everyone watched Hojo with focused eyes until he questioned them hesitantly about why they are staring at him.
Gojo came closer to him, placing his hand on his shoulder and asking him question about what is happening on the Earth.
"Hey, tell me, what's happening on earth? That monster Sukuna is dead or not? Do you know anything about Itadori Yuji or Okkotsu Yuta?"
Hojo flinched back a little then answered his questions.
"Yeah, Sukuna was already dead after you died. Okkotsu isn't alive and Yuji is missing."
Gojo went silent for a moment, smile vanishing from his face. He was happy and sad at the same time. Sukuna was dead. Humanity was safe.
But... Yuta died and Yuji is missing... Wait!
Gojo was stunned as a thought came in his mind.
"You said Yuji is missing. Why isn't he died yet?"
"Even I don't know why? But according to what info we have, he is alive." Hojo immediately replied to his question.
Gojo was going to another question before Michizane stood from his position.
"Gojo, why are you annoying him?"
Just as Michizane stood and came near Hojo, he felt a little weight in air pressing on him from all directions. He instantly realized the strength of this ancient monster.
Hojo couldn't help but found himself helpless between these strongest of their own respective era.
"Yahaech, what about some tea for him?" Gojo suggested.
"A cup of tea?" Yahaech whispered, "it's not problem for me."
Yahaech raised his hand a little, flickering it in mid-air. Immediately, a tea pot and few cups materialized on the table.
This didn't stop here, tea automatically got poured into the cup. It hovered in the air and reached to Hojo's hand. Hojo hesitated for a second before taking a sip of it.
A surprised look spread across his face as the taste of tea surpassed his original expectations. It was really delicious.
Hojo savoured each drop of the tea, enjoying it to its maximum potential possible. In the last, he couldn't help but heave a sigh of refreshment as he felt stronger somehow.
It was feeling like his cursed energy doubled after drinking that godly-delicious tea.
Yahaech and others watched Hojo's expression silently. Hojo was thinking something in his mind, and due to this he forgot to put the cup down on the table.
Yahaech stepped forward and on his will, cup vanished from the existence like it never existed.
Hojo snapped out of his trance as the weight and sense of cup suddenly disappeared from his hand.
"Don't be so surprised. What you are feeling is because you just drink my cursed energy."
Yahaech said as a calm and subtle smirk appeared on his lips which made Hojo even more stunned in disbelief and awe.
"Oh no! You are going to really die now, this old man wants you to be here permanently by making you drink his cursed energy."
Looking at Hojo's face, Gojo arrived before him and said in serious tone, frightening Hojo to the extent, that he reeled back.
Looking at smiling Yahaech, his face distorted even more in fear before Michizane stepped forward and said that they were just kidding with him.
"They are just kidding you, there isn't any effect of the tea like that he told about."
Hojo's expression changed suddenly from horror to embarrasment as he realized his stupidity and the fact that he was fooled here.
Then Michizane turned toward Yahaech, asking him, "Do you have any idea about when he will return to Earth?"
Yahaech went silent for a second before he answered in a solemn tone.
"I don't know exactly but he still has few couple of hours here. His soul is temporarily trapped between life and death. Also as he's my true inheritor of complete strength, Im going to return my remaining four eyes to him."
"But that can kill him so I want you to train his soul before the ritual."
After hearing Yahaech's word, Hojo understood what he was talking about. Yahaech had six eyes, of which two were same as what presently people calls "six-eyes".
Although, they were only two eyes, people continued to called them six-eyes.
Between all this, a strange sense of pride has developed inside Hojo as he was the first inheritor of Yahaech's complete strength.
"To think that you are true inheritor of this old hag, even though you are weakest here."
Gojo sighed, jealous clearly visible across his face. Izumi didn't said anything as he continued to gaze at Hojo. He had no animosity for him but still he was slightly jealous.
Michizane had no expression on his face. He remained expressionless.
