The cursed sorcerer incident was merely a minor interlude.
Though Nira Susaka and Granny Oshin were supposed to reappear during the Shibuya Incident with significant roles.
Sawa Gojo wasn't worried about their deaths disrupting the timeline.
Just a couple of small fries.
The only thing to note was Granny Oshin using her spirit summoning to possess Toji's body—a major event.
"That Toji Fushiguro guy…"
Sawa rubbed his temples, troubled.
Personally, he pitied the man, but alas, Toji was fated to be a trial in Satoru's life.
Of course, if Toji's clash was necessary for Satoru to awaken Reverse Cursed Technique, that'd be a different story.
Not a trial, but an opportunity.
Sawa mulled it over, deciding he might spare Toji's life—just give him a good thrashing.
Back at the Gojo Clan, Sawa and Satoru were informed they'd attend a banquet hosted by the three great families in three days.
"Can we skip it?"
Satoru clearly had no interest in such affairs.
The Gojo Clan elders nearly jumped out of their seats.
The banquet of the three great families—what did that mean?
It was the Gojo Clan's golden chance to flaunt their Six Eyes Twins before the Zen'in and Kamo Clans! (Scratched out)
It was an opportunity for the outstanding youths of the three great families to exchange and learn!
Though the elders were itching to show off to the Zen'in and Kamo Clans, Sawa and Satoru remained unimpressed.
"You two are the stars of this banquet. If you're absent, the Zen'in and Kamo Clans will think we're arrogant, which would reflect poorly on the Gojo Clan!"
Sawa shot back, "Arrogant? Isn't that the Gojo Clan's brand?"
Satoru nodded in agreement beside him.
The Grand Elder choked on his words.
In the jujutsu world, the arrogance of the three great families was infamous.
To them, anyone outside the three families was trash, and non-sorcerers were mere monkeys!
Yet, to the elders' surprise, the supposedly exalted Six Eyes Twins were remarkably "down-to-earth," even "lowering themselves"!
Seeing how much the elders valued the banquet, Sawa relented, guided by a principle of respecting the old and caring for the young.
"Any fun activities at this banquet?"
The Grand Elder eagerly explained, "Oh, plenty! The young generation of the three families will spar and exchange skills."
"Tch~"
Sawa and Satoru rolled their eyes in unison.
Sparring with those kids? Like playing house?
Knowing such events bored the twins, the Grand Elder continued, "There'll also be an auction where you can bid on items you like. The highlight is a Special Grade cursed tool!"
Sawa's ears perked up. "Special Grade cursed tool? What's it called?"
"Playful Cloud!"
Oh, that three-section staff!
Sawa's interest was piqued. "Sounds good. Let's check it out!"
Seeing Sawa's enthusiasm, Satoru grudgingly agreed.
Three days passed quickly.
Sawa eyed the elongated black limousine and the lavishly dressed servant whose sole job was to open the door for him.
For the first time, he grasped the Gojo Clan's obscene wealth.
How to put it? Like waking from a deathbed to realize I'm the tycoon?
Sawa and Satoru clambered into the car on tiptoes.
The limo's interior was absurdly spacious for the two kids, equipped with a TV and a mini-fridge, exuding luxury.
Sawa grabbed a drink from the fridge.
Gulp, gulp~
The cool, sweet liquid slid down his throat to his stomach, and Sawa let out a satisfied sigh.
Ah! This extravagant lifestyle—I'm in love!
Satoru looked exasperated. "Cold drinks in the middle of winter?"
"My veins pulse with the hot blood of youth!"
"…"
As they chatted, the limo carried them to a five-star hotel in Ginza.
"Welcome!"
Two rows of impeccably dressed maids bowed in unison, the display grandiose.
Sawa was taken aback. "Isn't this a bit… ostentatious?"
The Grand Elder chuckled. "No worries, Young Master Sawa. This hotel is owned by the three great families. Today, it's exclusively for sorcerers—no outsiders allowed!"
Sawa's eyelid twitched.
Alright, he was out of his depth!
The group took the elevator to the top floor.
When Sawa and Satoru entered the venue, the bustling scene of clinking glasses and mingling quieted instantly.
Besides the three great families, various allied clans and factions were present, like the distant Gojo relatives, the Okkotsu Clan, or the Ieiri Clan, famed for producing Shoko Ieiri, a natural Reverse Cursed Technique user.
But as Sawa and Satoru appeared, the noisy hall fell silent.
Then, every sorcerer turned, their gazes sizing up the twins.
The Six Eyes Twins!
Their birth had rocked the jujutsu world.
In Gojo Clan history, a Six Eyes was rare, appearing once every four or five centuries.
But Six Eyes Twins? Unprecedented.
Curse or blessing, one thing was certain: Sawa and Satoru, the Six Eyes Twins, would undisputedly dominate the future jujutsu world!
Facing countless stares, Sawa and Satoru frowned, unaccustomed to the attention.
The Grand Elder chuckled beside them.
"Young Masters Sawa and Satoru are truly special—always the center of attention!"
Sawa gave a sardonic smile. "Center of attention? Feels more like monkeys gawked at in a zoo!"
"Uh…"
The Grand Elder's mouth twitched.
Young Master Sawa was perfect in every way—except for that razor-sharp tongue, venomous since he learned to speak.
At that moment, two figures approached, the crowd parting before them.
The Zen'in Clan head, Naobito Zen'in.
The Kamo Clan head, Takayoshi Kamo.
Though they wore smiles, their icy auras betrayed their foul moods.
Understandably so.
Six years ago, the Gojo Clan hit the jackpot with the Six Eyes Twins, securing the Limitless technique's legacy.
The Zen'in and Kamo Clans had been green with envy ever since.
Over the past six years, Takayoshi Kamo ordered his clan to boost birth rates, hoping for a child to inherit the Blood Manipulation technique, but fate wasn't kind.
The Zen'in Clan fared worse. Not only had they failed to produce a Ten Shadows Technique heir in decades, but they'd birthed a "Heavenly Restriction" carrier.
No cursed energy—a monkey in the eyes of the three great families.
In the rigid, archaic Zen'in Clan, a Heavenly Restriction was an undeniable stain.
Every thought of it kept Naobito Zen'in awake at night, fuming.
The Gojo Clan… what did they do to deserve this?!
"These must be the famed Six Eyes Twins! I'm Naobito Zen'in, head of the Zen'in Clan. A pleasure to meet you both!"
Takayoshi Kamo stepped forward too, swallowing his jealousy to put on a polite front.
"I'm Takayoshi Kamo, head of the Kamo Clan! Delighted to meet you two young friends!"
While Satoru pondered his response, Sawa grinned and replied, "You're both delighted a bit too soon!"
Naobito Zen'in: "…"
Takayoshi Kamo: "…"
