I didn't expect it… Gojo Satoshi, you actually used a cursed tool to take down Shihis was beyond my expectations.

  As someone bound by Heavenly Restri, are you fog on developing your physical strength instead?

  I have to admit, that's a solid choice. Cursed tools are valuable assets… Maybe I should start colleg some myself.

  Toji narrowed his eyes as he observed Satoshi from the training grounds.

  The battle just now had made ohing clear to everyohe cursed tool in Satoshi's hands was terrifyingly powerful.

  But Toji knew better.

  Satoshi himself was just as formidable.

  Even if he hadn't used Sode no Shirayuki to instantly kill Shioji was certain that Satoshi's raw physical ability alone would have been enough to defeat him, especially given Shinsuke's overfidence.

  Do you want to be my friend? I aowledge you, Gojo Satoshi.

  Toji smirked and turned away, dark amusement flickering in his eyes.

  A new friend, huh?

  Perhaps… a special cursed tool like that would be better suited in my hands.

  ---

  The onlookers processed the battle in silence.

  But ultimately, their emotions all verged into one overwhelming realization.

  The Gojo family, wielding two Six Eyes, is destio domihe sorcerer world.

  The Zenin family had lost a future prodigy to a so-called "fake Six Eyes" before Satoru even made a move.

  It was clear.

  In terms of potential, the Zenin could no longer pare to the Gojo family.

  And as for the Kamo , another of the Three Great Families…

  They could barely produce a det Blood Maniputiohese days.

  If things ti this rate, it wouldn't be long before their influence faded entirely.

  The path forward was obvious, align with the Gojo family.

  With two Six Eyes users and trol over the mysterious cursed tool in Satoshi's hands, the Gojo had already surpassed the other two families.

  If they alone possessed this ype of cursed tool, the Gojo wouldn't just be a leader in the jujutsu world.

  They could rule it.

  And so, many powerful fas began iigating the creator of this powerful cursed tool.

  That was when they discovered something unbelievable.

  The fer of this on was her than Gojo Satoshi himself.

  How was that possible?

  A six-year-old child had fed such a masterpiece?

  Even more terrifying…

  The Zanpakutō he created could not only shift forms but also produ entirely ype of cursed teique.

  An ability unlike anything recorded in jujutsu history.

  "First Dance: White Moon!"

  The name of that teique would be etched into the history of sorcery forever.

  At this moment, everyone wanted Gojo Satoshi for themselves.

  ---

  Some people were irrepceable.

  Like Satoru, who had Six Eyes and a on-a-lifetime sorcerer talent.

  But Satoshi?

  He was different.

  A genius cursed tool fer was something that could be replicated.

  If Satoshi tio create more cursed tools like Sode no Shirayuki, any sorcerer could massively increase their strength in a short period of time.

  Together, Gojo Satoru and Gojo Satoshi were a terrifying duo.

  ---

  The gathering at the Gojo estate came to an end.

  With Shinsuke frozen solid by "First Dance: White Moon," Zenin Ogi stepped forward, aowledged Satoshi's victory, and finally freed Shinsuke from the ice.

  Humiliated, the Zenin wasted no time leaving the Gojo estate.

  By the time Satoshi regained his focus, Toji was already gone.

  Damn… I didn't achieve my most important goal this time.

  Fet it. Toji might be gone, but at least I still introduce Satoru to some future teammates.

  Taking Satoru with him, Satoshi went to find Shoko and Yuto.

  At Shoko's request—" I touch Sode no Shirayuki?"—the four of them ended up bonding and successfully f new friendships.

  These es would be valuable.

  After all—

  The stro healer iure and the father of a future Special Grade sorcerer were now part of Satoshi's work.

  No matter what, this gathering had been a worthwhile success.

  ---

  "Satoshi, this whole event was s."

  Walking back to their rooms, Satoru sighed, pining as if he had suffered through a painful chore.

  The whole time, he had just been a spectator.

  If he had known Satoshi was going to be so cool, he would have jumped in and shown off himself.

  Now he regretted letting Satoshi fight Shinsuke.

  "Well, this kind of event isn't meant to be eaining. But at least we met some new friends, right? Okkotsu Yuto and Ieiri Shoko—Satoru, you should treasure them."

  Satoshi nudged Satoru, subtly reminding him.

  He didn't want Satoru to bee a lone wolf iure.

  Strength alone wasn't enough.

  Sometimes, panions couldn't help someone bee stronger but they could provide emotional support.

  Iure, Satoru would meet Geto Suguru, reect with Shoko, and be guided by Yaga Masamichi.

  These retionships would shape his journey.

  Maybe…

  If Satoru learo trust and cooperate with others sooner, instead of relying on his own power, some tragedies could be avoided.

  "Alright, alright, I get it! Geez, Satoshi, you're starting to nag like an old man."

  Satoru shrugged, gng at Satoshi with a teasing smirk.

  Then, as if realizing something, he raised an eyebrow and asked pyfully.

  "But… wasn't your real goal this time to befriend the Zenin's Heavenly Restri user?"

  "Wait—are you telling me you actually got rejected?"

  Satoru's voice was full of amusement, and his grin widened.

  Watg Satoshi's face darken slightly, he burst into ughter.
