As Shunichi entered the hall, escorting Satoru and Satoshi, the entire room fell silent.
This gathering was of an unprecedented scale, and the fact that the Gojo clan had sent both Six Eyes bearers demonstrated just how seriously they took this meeting.
Satoshi remained unfazed by the attention.
However, at this young age, Satoru had yet to grow into the formidable force he would one day become. He still found it difficult to adjust to such an environment.
Without a word, Satoshi stepped forward, subtly positioning himself to shield Satoru from some of the overwhelming gazes.
At the same time, his pseudo-Six Eyes scanned the room, searching for familiar faces.
The Zenin clan. Oh, there he is.
Satoshi was the first to locate the Sorcerer Killer.
It was immediately apparent that Toji did not have a good relationship with the other members of his family. Even sitting next to his brother, Jinichi, there was no conversation between them, only silence.
Zenin Ogi, huh? I didn't expect the Zenin clan's elder leading this delegation to be the father of Zenin Maki and Zenin Mai. He's just as bad as the rest. Even though they're also twins, his experience with Satoru is worlds apart from what Maki and Mai went through.
Satoshi's gaze shifted toward the middle-aged man, who was engaged in a lively discussion with the "Twin Curse" faction of the Gojo family. His expression darkened slightly.
It truly seemed like, aside from Fushiguro Megumi, there were no normal people in the Zenin family.
Hmm? That little girl looks familiar... Wait, she looks like a young Shoko. No way... is that really Shoko? Damn, she actually tied her hair into a bun? She looks completely different from how she does in the future.
Originally, Satoshi had thought that Shoko and Satoru had only met during their high school years.
Yet, here she was at this gathering...
It seemed that with her father performing Reverse Cursed Technique treatment on the Gojo clan head, young Shoko had been left here alone.
Perhaps later, he could introduce Satoru to her.
Shoko's talent in Reverse Cursed Technique was unparalleled in the Jujutsu Kaisen world. Establishing a good relationship now could prove useful—after all, if any serious crises arose in the future, her healing skills could be a lifesaver.
Wait a minute. Who's that young man sitting next to Shoko? He looks familiar, but I can't seem to place him.
That shouldn't be the case. If he were part of the main storyline, I should remember him.
Satoshi's gaze lingered on the unfamiliar young man as he combed through his memories.
Since the man was here, he had to be connected to the sorcerer world in some way, right?
Was he from the Kamo clan? Probably not. The only ones Satoshi was familiar with were the ones skilled in Blood Manipulation.
If not the Kamo family, could he be affiliated with Kyoto Jujutsu High?
That didn't seem right either.
Satoshi mentally sifted through images of various jujutsu sorcerers. When he reached the four modern Special Grade sorcerers, he paused.
One of them—Okkotsu Yuta.
Yes, the young man before him bore an uncanny resemblance to Yuta Okkotsu.
In fact, he looked like an older version of Yuta.
But that was impossible.
In this timeline, Yuta hadn't even been born yet.
That meant the man in front of him could only be one person.
Satoshi raised an eyebrow, his full attention now focused on the man.
This gathering is stacked with hidden monsters.
The future strongest Six Eyes user, Gojo Satoru. The future strongest assassin, the Sorcerer Killer Zenin Toji. The future master of Reverse Cursed Technique, the Ultimate Healer Ieiri Shoko. And now, the father of Yuta Okkotsu, the man who would one day inherit the most overwhelming cursed energy in history.
One day, I'll be standing at the same level as all of them, right? After all, this system isn't just for decoration.
As Satoshi contemplated, Satoru followed his gaze, casually glancing at Zenin Toji, Ieiri Shoko, and Okkotsu Yuto.
He knew his twin brother wasn't the type to show interest in just anyone. If these people had caught Satoshi's attention, they were worth noting.
One man and two women? That tall man... he was the one spying on us earlier in the garden. The other man, I've never seen him before, but his cursed energy feels incredibly strong.
And that girl... Hmm, she's kind of cute. Is she Satoshi's type?
As the central figures of the gathering, Satoru and Satoshi's every move naturally drew attention.
Previously, Satoshi's quiet observations had gone unnoticed. But when Satoru joined in, the "Twin Curse" faction of the Gojo family immediately took notice.
They had already been displeased with Satoshi's attendance at this gathering.
To them, Satoru was the true heir of the Six Eyes, the rightful successor of the Gojo bloodline. Satoshi, on the other hand, was nothing more than a fake Six Eyes user, completely unqualified to be a jujutsu sorcerer.
However, due to Shunichi's recent change in stance, the faction had been forced to reconsider their approach.
Thus, while they had allowed Satoshi's presence at the gathering, they were determined to suppress his influence among the other jujutsu families.
At first, they had worried about how to clearly distinguish Satoru from Satoshi at the event.
But seeing Satoshi carrying a katana, they realized they had their answer.
"You're in high spirits today, Satoru."
Kumaen, the leading elder of the Gojo clan and the official host of the gathering spoke up, immediately drawing the attention of the entire room toward Satoru.
