"Doing something foolish?"
Zenin Naobito did not understand what Gojo Shion meant.
But the moment Shion appeared inside the Zenin estate, Naobito knew something major was about to happen. A bad feeling immediately rose in his chest.
Shion glanced at him calmly and spoke in a relaxed tone.
"Don't worry. Even if the Gojo Family and the Zenin Family have their grudges, it's not serious enough for me to start a war. I'm not here to attack you."
Naobito finally relaxed a little.
However, before he could fully calm down, Shion suddenly smiled.
"But if it's your own family tearing itself apart, that has nothing to do with me. And the Jujutsu Higher-Ups won't interfere either. After all, it's just an internal matter of the Zenin Family."
He took a sip of tea as if the situation had nothing to do with him.
"That excuse was created by your own people, not me."
Naobito fell silent.
Internal conflict?
He immediately remembered the looks in the eyes of his younger brother Ogi, his son Naoya, and his nephew Jinichi when they left earlier.
His heart suddenly sank.
He stood up at once, preparing to rush outside and check what was happening. But before he could take a single step, an invisible pressure descended on him. His entire body froze in place.
"Zenin family head," Shion said casually, "I already told you not to do anything foolish."

Inside the armory.
Geto Suguru injected a special medicine into Mai Zenin's body, then used Reverse Cursed Technique to restore her severed limbs.
Satoru clicked his tongue.
"This girl drained the last bit of cursed energy from her sister, then still tried to use the Construction Cursed Technique to reshape the true steel lacerator. She would have died from exhaustion no matter what."
He looked at the unconscious Mai and sighed softly.
"Choosing death and leaving everything to her sister, even entrusting her soul to the sword. She really is insane."
Geto picked Mai up.
"Alright, Satoru. Take her away first. Whatever happens to the Zenin Family next must not be connected to us."
Satoru raised his hand and casually tore open a crack in space.
Throughout the entire process, Maki stood there in a daze, staring at the two of them without saying a word.
"Go… Gojo-sensei…"
Satoru paused for a moment, then turned back and smiled faintly.
"Pretend we were never here. Do whatever you want to do."
"We'll be waiting for you at Jujutsu High."
He waved casually and stepped into the rift. His figure disappeared instantly.
The space closed again as if nothing had happened.
Maki stared blankly at the place where Satoru vanished, then pinched herself.
"It hurts…"
So it wasn't a dream.
She looked down at the knife wound on her chest. It had already healed and formed a scab in a short time.
The shackles inside her body were completely gone. Warm blood flowed through every part of her body.
Her body felt unbelievably light.
---
"ROAR!"
The sudden roar of a cursed spirit snapped Maki back to reality.
After the two terrifying presences disappeared, the surrounding low-grade cursed spirits immediately became active again.
Without any cursed energy, Maki became easy prey in their eyes.
"Hmph."
Her eyes gradually became sharp.
Do whatever I want to do?
Mai… I'm really glad you're still alive.
So I won't let you return to that disgusting family ever again.
Maybe destroying everything was your last act of stubbornness before dying.
If that's what you wanted… then the destruction of the Zenin Family will be our gift of rebirth.
---
Boom!
Deep inside the armory corridor, Ogi suddenly stopped walking.
"The cursed spirits… they're all gone?"
He frowned, turned around, and hurried back.
The moment he entered the armory, he saw Maki standing there.
In that instant, a suffocating pressure crashed into him.
Ogi's pupils shrank violently. For a split second, he felt like he was facing Toji Fushiguro again.
His entire body trembled uncontrollably.
"I remember… my body still remembers…"
"That suffocating fear… that helplessness…"
Maki looked at him without emotion.
Like she was staring at a stranger. No, not even a stranger. More like an insect.
That gaze immediately enraged Ogi.
A useless failure dared to look at him like that?
He pulled his sword and took an Iai stance, shouting angrily.
"So you're still alive?"
"Fine. This time I'll do it myself. I'll burn even your bones to ashes!"
"Cursed Technique Release: Blazing Valor!"
Flames erupted around his body. The heat distorted the air itself.
As the second strongest member of the Zenin Family, Ogi was a peak Grade 1 sorcerer.
But a Grade 1 was still just a Grade 1.
Maki stared at him calmly.
The technique that had been impossible to deal with ten minutes ago now looked full of openings.
"Come on!" Ogi roared, trying to drown out the fear in his body.
Zheng.
A faint metallic sound rang out.
Then everything went dark.
Ogi's skull was split open in an instant. His body still maintained the Iai stance even after death.
He never even realized he had been killed.
Maki walked past his corpse calmly and stepped out of the armory.
---
"Bad news! Bad news!"
Inside a nearby room, Naoya and Jinichi were discussing the succession of the family head when Ranta suddenly rushed in, his face completely pale.
"Maki has gone mad! She killed Uncle Ogi!"
"The Kukuru Squad is already heading there!"
Jinichi immediately stood up.
"What? Ogi is dead? That useless girl actually…"
Naoya only sneered.
"This just became interesting."
---
At the same time.
"Ogi actually died to that useless girl?"
Nobuaki, the captain of the Kukuru Squad, spoke with clear disdain.
"It must have been a sneak attack. Even strong people get careless sometimes. Sleeping, using the toilet, anything could happen."
"And she's his daughter. Getting close enough to attack him would be easy."
Clearly, Maki's reputation as the useless member of the Zenin Family had never changed in his mind.
Nobuaki waved his hand impatiently.
"Hurry up and deal with it. I still have to attend the succession banquet."
"Oh, and capture her alive. I want to kill her personally."
Behind him, dozens of Kukuru Squad members rushed forward together.
---
The Kukuru Squad.
A unit made up of Zenin Family members without innate techniques, subordinate to the Hei.
At this moment, surrounded by them, Maki slowly raised the true steel lacerator.
A cold smile appeared on her lips.
