A/N: I thought I should clarify that Satoru's Six Eyes don't work on Hiyori so he actually sees her properly. However, this does mean he can't see her cursed energy like the way he does others with his Six Eyes. He can still sense it though. Even Satoru does not know how much cursed energy Hiyori has. I think this will also give context as to why Satoru was so eager to adopt Hiyori (will delve into this in Book 2).

"Geto, you lied to us. Because of you, Hanami is dead!" Jogo shouted, the volcano on his head erupted with anger as he stared daggers at the man that had given them false information. 

"Now, now, I had no idea that Gojo Hiyori wasn't dead. I was told that she died and only passed on that information to you" Pseudo-Geto replied with his hands raised up as if to say he was innocent. "But I believe even I underestimated her power."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Jogo demanded.

"You see, she killed Hanami instantly with one touch." Pseudo-Geto explained with a raised pointer finger to emphasize the one touch it took for Hiyori to take out Hanami. Mahito, who had been trying to get a word out of an extremely sad Dagon who was grieving Hanami's death, looked up upon hearing that.

"That–How is that possible? Hanami is strong." Jogo sputtered. 

"Though I don't know how she did it, within almost an instant, Hanami was exorcised. As far as I know, no one knows how she does it except maybe Gojo Satoru. Only Gojo Hiyori and Hanami know what happened, which makes it impossible for us to find out since a dead cursed spirit can't speak." Pseudo-Geto said matter-of-factly. This new development, Gojo Hiyori's appearance in Japan, meant that there was a chance his plans might not go as planned. He would have to make adjustments to accommodate this change. 

Gojo Hiyori truly was an anomaly.

"Gojo Hiyori...how strong is she?" Mahito asked curiously. So what if she was strong enough to kill Hanami, he would have to get creative on how to fight her. It scared him and piqued his interest at the same time.

"From prior knowledge, she is weaker than Gojo Satoru. Though I believe, with her recent performance, it is likely that she would be able to kill any of you alone without any need for backup."  

"Well, then why don't we gang up on her and get her out of the way? Make the rumor that she's dead a reality." Jogo suggested, itching to avenge Hanami. He wasn't going to let some little human girl get away with this.

"Unfortunately, that is not possible. You would all simply just die" Pseudo-Geto said with a sickly sweet smile that had Jogo itching to fight the man. Mahito hummed in thought.

"She may be strong but she's no Gojo Satoru" Mahito said nonchalantly, lazily laying down on the sandy beach. 

"Mahito, you should be wary, it's likely that your idle transfiguration does not work on her. Gojo Hiyori is immune to cursed techniques" Jogo and Mahito froze in surprise. Mahito got up and stared at Pseudo-Geto in disbelief. A chill ran up his spine at the thought of someone he stood basically no chance against in a fight simply because she was born different.
