"Young Master Satoshi, what is the name of this Zanpakutō?"

  Shunichi's eyes sparkled with excitement. He was eager to know if the name of this Zanpakutō was still Cicada's Cry.

  Satoshi paused for a moment before speaking in a deep voice.

  "Its name is Suzumushi. It was fed using the characteristics of Cicada's Cry."

  As he spoke, Satoshi tossed the Asauchi to Shunichi.

  The moment Shunichi made tact with Suzumushi, a system notification sounded in Satoshi's mind.

  [The system has detected that the host has lent his Zanpakutō to another person. The Borrowed Sword fun has been activated!]

  [Borrowed Sword Fun 1: All Zanpakutō fed by the host belong solely to the host. When others use a Zanpakutō, they are merely borrowing it. The host recall the Zanpakutō at any time, reverting it to its Asauchi state.]

  [Borrowed Sword Fun 2: While a borrower wields the Zanpakutō, they gee experience for the host as a rental fee.]

  [Borrowed Sword Fun 3: The borrower must gain the Zanpakutō's reition to access its Shikai. If the borrower achieves Bankai, the system will randomly extrae of their skills and grant it to the host. (Each Zanpakutō only provide one skill, and only from its first borrower.)]

  [Borrowed Sword Fun 4: The host observe the outside world through the Zanpakutō's perspective and unicate with the borrower via the Zanpakutō's spirit.]

  Satoshi was momentarily stunned by the system's notification.

  He had assumed the system had bee dysfunal, leaving him only with the ability te Zanpakutō and use Zanjutsu, Hakuda, Hohō, and Kidō.

  Yet now, after lending Suzumushi to Gojo Shunichi, he had uedly unlocked the Borrowed Sword fun.

  Even with just a g its abilities, he could tell how powerful this feature was.

  If F and Zanjutsu-Hakuda-Hohō-Kidō were meant to build his foundation, then Borrowed Sword was desigo drastically raise his upper limits.

  The system had clearly defihat no matter who wielded a Zanpakutō, ultimate ownership remained with him. Even if he fed a Zanpakutō for Zenin Toji, should Toji one day bee his enemy, Satoshi could revoke the bde's power instantly.

  Additionally, he could absorb bat experience from multiple users through the Borrowed Sword fun.

  Most importantly, if a borrower achieved Bankai, Satoshi could randomly extrae of their skills.

  Although he wasn't yet sure what kind of skills he could obtain, this meic was like opening a blind box, it could yield either something ordinary or something overpowered.

  For instance, if he could extract Limitless from Satoru, wouldn't that mean he could wield the same abilities as his brother?

  The only downside was that each Zanpakutō could only provide one skill, and only from its first borrower.

  This meant he couldn't repeatedly lend his Zanpakutō to multiple people, harvest an array of skills, and theribute the swords to new wielders.

  This restriade ohing clear, he had to be careful in choosing who borrowed his Zanpakutō. If he lent it to someone ordinary, he would likely only receive a basic or useless ability.

  Still, the most broken ability of Borrowed Sword was the shared vision with his Zanpakutō and the ability to unicate with the borrower through its spirit.

  This meant that even without leaving his home, he could observe and experience tless battles.

  He could even use his Zanpakutō as a long-distanunication device, essentially turning his bdes into a supernatural cellphone.

  Satoshi furrowed his brow slightly. He had only scratched the surface of this ability, but he was sure that with time, he would discover even more ways to exploit it.

  He quickly opened his system panel.

  Takutō were now dispyed oerface:

  [Zanpakutō: Sode no Shirayuki (ojo Satoshi) (Borrower: None)]

  [Zanpakutō: Suzumushi (ojo Satoshi) (Borrojo Shunichi)]

  Satoshi suddenly felt a pang ret.

  Ohe first borrower was selected, it couldn't be ged.

  Even if a sed person borrowed Suzumushi and unlocked Bankai, Satoshi would not get another ce to extract a skill from them.

  As he watched Shunichi testing out Suzumushi, a sense of loss settled in.

  Shunichi was only a Grade 2 Sorcerer. Even if he eventually reached Bankai, the quality of the skill he provided would be nowhere hat of someone like Toji or Satoru.

  In hindsight, he should have waited for a stronger didate before allowing his first Borrowed Sword tract.

  Satoshi sighed helplessly but quickly shook off the regret.

  This was his first time testing the ability, Shunichi would be the guinea pig.

  Besides, Suzumushi suited Shunichi far more than it did Toji or Satoru. Their fighting styles didn't align with its abilities.

  At the very least, by lending Gojo Shunichi a Zanpakutō, Satoshi had likely secured his loyalty.

  If nothing else, he had exged a Zanpakutō for an ally.

  Even if it felt like a loss, it was still an iment.

  Satoshi dismissed the stray thoughts and turned his attention back to his surroundings.

  "Satoshi, did you succeed in f it?"

  Satoru's face broke into a wide grin. He had been worried that Satoshi might lose fideer his repeated failures.

  But now that Suzumushi had been successfully fed, he could finally rex.

  This wasn't just about Shunichi acquiring a powerful new cursed tool, this proved that Satoshi could reliably fe Zanpakutō.

  And if he could create two, then there would be more to e.

  The birth of Suzumushi wasn't just an isoted achievement, it was the beginning of something much bigger.

  First, Sode no Shirayuki.

  Now, Suzumushi.

  Iure, even more Zanpakutō would be fed.

  More mystical abilities would surface.

  The entire world of Jujutsu Sorcery was about to ge.

  And at the ter of it all, Satoshi would stand as the creator of Zanpakutō, a revolutionary figure in the world of curses.

  There wasn't a sirace of jealousy in Satoru's heart.

  This was his younger brother.

  The other Six Eyes of the Gojo family.

  Even without cursed energy, Satoshi possessed overwhelming strength.

  And he would still stand at the peak of the Jujutsu world.
