"Since everyone is here, let's begin the meeting."
The current head of the Zen'in clan, Zen'in Naobito, drank from his gourd and spoke in a drunken manner.
The focus of this meeting was simple.
It was about how the jujutsu world would be reshuffled after the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons incident.
"There is no doubt..."
The head of the Kamo clan, also one of the Big Three Sorcerer Families, said in a deep voice.
"After Geto Suguru's death, Gojo Satoru has completely cleared his suspicion. It seems the previous accusations made against him by the jujutsu world no longer stand."
Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru were once classmates at Jujutsu High. During their student days, they were known as the strongest duo, and both were recognized as part of the four Special Grade Sorcerers in the jujutsu world.
But with Geto Suguru's betrayal, this former golden duo also fell apart.
The Jujutsu Headquarters once ordered Gojo Satoru to kill Geto Suguru, but under the watchful eyes of the public, he remembered their old friendship and personally let Geto Suguru escape.
This matter had always been a thorn in the hearts of the jujutsu higher-ups.
A thorn that could not be pulled out.
Gojo Satoru himself was the strongest modern sorcerer. He was the chosen one of the Gojo clan, the first in hundreds of years to possess both the Six Eyes and the Limitless Cursed Technique.
Because of his birth alone, the balance of the Big Three Sorcerer Families directly collapsed. The Gojo clan soared completely, directly punching the Zen'in clan and trampling the Kamo clan. Their glory could be described as radiant.
But such a scenario was also built on the premise that Gojo Satoru was within the control of the jujutsu higher-ups.
The jujutsu higher-ups would rather have an obedient dog than a genius like Gojo Satoru who was capable of changing the jujutsu world.
Therefore, in recent years, Gojo Satoru had always been guarded against everywhere by the jujutsu world, for fear that he would follow the same path of betrayal as Geto Suguru.
But such concerns were temporarily resolved with the death of Geto Suguru.
Gojo Satoru was indeed an uncontrollable guy in his youth, but now, as he grew older, he gradually recognized his status and was willing to obediently become a dog doing dirty and tiring work in the hands of the jujutsu higher-ups.
But this result was obviously bad news for the Zen'in clan and the Kamo clan.
No one wanted to see the Gojo clan dominate alone.
The more Gojo Satoru obeyed the jujutsu higher-ups, the more massive the resources the Gojo clan would possess.
If this continued, the Big Three Sorcerer Families would exist in name only and soon cease to exist.
"I heard... Gojo Satoru once had a very unpleasant fallout with the jujutsu higher-ups in order to protect Okkotsu Yuta."
Zen'in Jin'ichi stroked his chin and spoke.
"Okkotsu Yuta was once given a secret death sentence by the Headquarters. Gojo Satoru stubbornly protected him, even publicly threatening the jujutsu higher-ups, saying he would stand by Okkotsu Yuta from beginning to end. Hmph, it seems as a teacher, Gojo Satoru is quite loyal."
"Ridiculous!"
Zen'in Ogi, kneeling on the tatami, snorted coldly.
"I have already investigated Okkotsu Yuta's identity. He was selected as a Special Grade Sorcerer at such a young age. Tokyo claims it is because he possesses the Special Grade Cursed Spirit Orimoto Rika, but how could such an explanation be recognized by Kyoto? Sure enough, after my intelligence network investigated, it turns out Okkotsu Yuta is a distant relative of Gojo Satoru. He has the bloodline of a Gojo branch family!"
Such secret intelligence immediately froze the atmosphere in the room.
Because it involved a matter that all the Kyoto jujutsu sorcerers present were very resentful about—
That was the selection of Special Grade Sorcerers.
One must know, before the appearance of Okkotsu Yuta, the three recognized Special Grade Sorcerers in the jujutsu world were Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, and Tsukumo Yuki.
There was naturally no need to say much about Gojo Satoru. As the chosen one of the Gojo clan, the possessor of the Six Eyes and the Limitless Cursed Technique, his title as the strongest modern sorcerer naturally made his status as a Special Grade Sorcerer unquestionable.
Geto Suguru came from an ordinary background; his parents were both normal humans. However, because of Cursed Spirit Manipulation, a rare cursed technique seen once in a millennium, he brought a revolutionary breakthrough to the jujutsu world's methods of dealing with cursed spirits. Being hailed as a Special Grade Sorcerer was unexpected but perfectly reasonable.
As the strongest Star Plasma Vessel in history, Tsukumo Yuki had been famous for a long time. Coupled with her close relationship with Kyoto, there were naturally no objections to her being a Special Grade Sorcerer.
But Okkotsu Yuta was purely parachuted in.
From beginning to end, it revealed Tokyo's arbitrary actions. The very existence of this Special Grade Sorcerer made Kyoto very unhappy. Now that he was implicated as a distant relative of Gojo Satoru, it was hard not to imagine that the Gojo clan was playing tricks behind the scenes.
One must know, despite also being part of the Big Three Sorcerer Families, neither the Zen'in clan nor the Kamo clan had a single member selected as a Special Grade Sorcerer!
Could it be that their inherited cursed techniques were inferior to the Gojo clan's?!
"We must join forces to pressure the Headquarters and stop the Gojo clan from continuing to grow!"
Zen'in Ogi said coldly.
"Gojo Satoru must be held responsible for the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons! Even though he personally killed Geto Suguru, it does not clear him of suspicion! Gojo Satoru must give up all his positions at Jujutsu High and be locked up in prison!"
"I think we must strip Gojo Satoru of his Six Eyes. Now that Geto Suguru is dead, the jujutsu world faces no threats. A dangerous hidden risk like Gojo Satoru must be eliminated!"
Listening to the endless protests at the scene, Zen'in Naoya was almost dumbfounded.
Holy crap.
Isn't this the most classic part of Jujutsu Kaisen?
The classic lowest-tier players pressuring the team's carry?
The teacher just endured the pain of killing his best friend, and now he's going to be morally kidnapped by you pack of wild dogs like this?
It seems the jujutsu world is thoroughly rotten to the core!
"...Naoya, what are your thoughts?"
Zen'in Naobito ignored the surrounding public indignation. The old man instead continued to chug his alcohol as usual, but his lazy gaze turned towards his silent son.
Although this father knew his son never cared about this jujutsu world nonsense, given Zen'in Naoya's punchable personality, it was indeed strange for him to not say a word for half the day.
"Naoya, are you dissatisfied with your uncle's proposal?"
Zen'in Ogi also frowned and turned his head to look at Zen'in Naoya.
After all, as the next heir of the Zen'in clan, although Zen'in Naoya's personality was explosively rotten, if he continued to remain silent, this meeting would be equivalent to being held for nothing.
Facing everyone's gazes, the transmigrator only felt deeply helpless.
Of course he had thoughts.
He planned to cling to Gojo Satoru's thick thighs.
If you bunch of bugs keep messing around, won't I have to wait for death together with the Zen'in clan next?
Faced with the clan head calling him out personally, although he didn't want to cause trouble, the transmigrator could only sigh.
No matter how much dissatisfaction he had in his heart, it wouldn't help right now.
After all, emotions were running high. Stepping out to sing a different tune would only make the situation worse. The best thing to do right now was to say nothing and play dead.
He decided to use a milder attitude, play dead, and laugh it off like this—
"Uncle, are you telling me what to do?"
