"Little Ai, what is this?"
So Yuki, having just finished a meeting and returned home from work, saw steaming food on the table and asked her daughter curiously.
"These are the pork ribs that Brother Genji stewed," Furukawa Ai replied.
"They taste super good. I didn't expect Brother Genji to have such skills; I've already eaten several bowls."
"You child, you haven't seen each other for so long, yet the first thing you do is go over for a free meal. Not only that, but you even brought some back," So Yuki said, gently tapping Furukawa Ai on the head.
"Hehehe, don't blame me. Brother Genji told me to bring these back for you."
Furukawa Ai rubbed her head and retorted, feeling justified.
Despite her words, So Yuki didn't doubt the taste of the ribs. One reason was the fragrance wafting from them, and the other was that she knew full well how picky her daughter was, even though neither mother nor daughter knew how to cook.
Thinking this, So Yuki opened the lid, picked up a piece of rib, and started eating it with rice.
"Mmm, delicious."
"Right?"
On the other side, at the Gojo Family training grounds.
"Take this kick from yours truly!"
Satoru Gojo kicked Gojo Hajime in the chest, knocking him back several meters.
"You brat, you really don't hold back at all when fighting your own father!"
Saying this, Gojo Hajime grabbed Satoru Gojo's leg.
Seeing that he had been caught, Satoru Gojo instantly shifted his posture, exerted force with his other leg, and unleashed a whip kick toward Gojo Hajime.
Seeing this, Gojo Hajime exerted force from his waist, throwing Satoru Gojo several meters away and dodging the whip kick.
"Alright, let's end the warm-up here." As he spoke, Cursed Energy rose from Gojo Hajime's body, and he activated his Cursed Technique.
"Fine, don't regret it!"
Seeing this, Satoru Gojo also activated Limitless, and the two figures collided once again.
Gojo Hajime's Cursed Technique was also the Gojo Family's inherited technique, "Limitless."
However, without the Six Eyes, the difficulty for him to maintain Limitless increased exponentially. He could only maintain it for a few minutes and couldn't instantly activate infinite defense like Satoru Gojo, nor could he use techniques like "Blue" while maintaining the infinite defense.
Gojo Hajime and Satoru Gojo each threw a punch at each other. Their fists collided, and the massive reaction force caused both of them to stumble back.
At this moment, Gojo Hajime took the opportunity while they were retreating to leap into the air and kick toward Satoru Gojo.
"Hehehe, you fell for it!"
At this moment, Satoru Gojo smiled. Gojo Hajime's leg was intercepted by the infinite barrier. Seizing the opportunity, Satoru Gojo grabbed his father's leg and, like Hulk slamming Loki, slammed Gojo Hajime down a few times before throwing him far away.
"How did you do that?"
Struggling to stand up, Gojo Hajime looked at Satoru Gojo in disbelief.
Although the Limitless techniques between two users can influence each other, allowing them to ignore each other's barriers to a certain extent, that required extremely high levels of concentration. Previously, when they sparred, although Satoru Gojo won more often, it was always by dragging the fight out until Gojo Hajime couldn't maintain his Cursed Technique. Before that, neither could bypass the other's Limitless.
But just now? Satoru Gojo had influenced Gojo Hajime's Limitless while maintaining his own. This was not something that could be explained by conventional logic.
"It's no big deal, just a matter of timing."
Satoru Gojo smiled smugly.
"Timing?"
"That's right. Closing the Limitless at the moment of attacking, giving up everything to focus on disrupting your Limitless, and then reactivating it after successfully landing the attack. That's all there is to it. It's just that the entire process takes less than a second, so in your eyes, it appeared to happen simultaneously."
"But even with the Six Eyes, it's still quite difficult to accomplish all that in such a short time."
Gojo Hajime suddenly understood after hearing Satoru Gojo's explanation, but he still raised a question.
"Yeah, being able to actually pull this off is thanks to the help from Genji and the others."
Satoru Gojo said, recalling the special training Geto Suguru, Genji, and Shoko Ieiri had given him.
First, Geto Suguru controlled a Squid to crash into Satoru Gojo, and Satoru Gojo used Limitless to hold it at a certain distance from himself.
Then, Genji would activate "Destruction" to break Satoru Gojo's Limitless. The unrestrained Squid would then crash into Satoru Gojo again, and Satoru Gojo had to restore his Limitless in the less than one second before the Squid hit him.
This special training lasted for nearly a month. During this time, Satoru Gojo was attacked by the Squid countless times, lost consciousness countless times, and was saved by Shoko Ieiri each time. Just like that, after a month, Satoru Gojo was finally able to truly pull it off.
"I didn't expect you to make such progress in this one year at Jujutsu High."
After hearing Satoru Gojo's description, Gojo Hajime suddenly realized that such high-intensity special training would have been life-threatening if not for the presence of a Reversal technique user like Shoko Ieiri.
"Alright, let's stop here. I'm no longer a match for you at all."
After the battle, Gojo Hajime realized that other than some techniques for using Cursed Techniques and a bit of hand-to-hand combat, he had nothing left to teach his son.
"Oh, giving up?"
Satoru Gojo raised an eyebrow.
"Now you are qualified to learn the secret techniques of Limitless."
"Secret techniques?"
Satoru Gojo asked, puzzled.
"That's right. Although you haven't learned Reversal technique yet, you can start by learning its theory."
Gojo Hajime paused, then continued speaking to Satoru Gojo with satisfaction.
"As everyone knows, the Gojo Family's inherited technique, 'Limitless,' has a very famous move called 'Blue.' Besides 'Blue,' there is the less well-known 'Red,' but there is another move that is rarely known even within the Gojo Family."
"What move?"
Satoru Gojo's curiosity was successfully piqued.
"'Purple'."
Gojo Hajime looked at Satoru Gojo and said solemnly, "That is the name of this move."

Meanwhile, at a horse racing track, a sturdy man was looking at his betting slip with a bored expression.
"Lost again? Fushiguro."
A middle-aged man walked up to him to strike up a conversation.
"Isn't that just how this stuff goes? Maybe I'll win it back next round. Anyway, what do you want with me?"
The sturdy man—Toji Fushiguro—casually tossed away the betting slip, which had now become waste paper.
"There's a job. You taking it or not? The pay isn't much, but it's decent."
The middle-aged man—Kong Shiu—looked at Toji Fushiguro and asked.
"Let me see."
Saying this, Toji Fushiguro took the tablet from Kong Shiu and browsed the relevant information.
"Oh, this is actually quite simple. Is this really the price for just taking out a woman and her daughter?"
"The target seems to have hired a Jujutsu Sorcerer for protection. Also, the mission has a time limit. It seems that after the day after tomorrow, the employer themselves will be kicked out of the company by the target, which is why they are in such a rush to post the bounty."
"Is that so? Whatever, it's none of my business. It just so happens that I'm a bit short on cash for horse racing lately, so I'll take this job."
Toji Fushiguro picked his ear, paying no attention to the trivial matters behind the bounty.
"Alright. The deadline for the bounty is 8:00 AM the day after tomorrow. Don't forget."
Toji Fushiguro waved his hand, indicating he understood.
"By the way, how is your son doing?"
"My son?"
Toji Fushiguro frowned and thought for a moment upon hearing this.
"Oh, you mean Megumi? He's doing great. I've already negotiated his price with Zenin Naobito."
Hearing this, Kong Shiu really didn't know what to say to the man in front of him.
"Forget it. Just don't get so caught up in horse racing that you forget the bounty."
After saying this, Kong Shiu left.
"I'm getting a bit tired of horse racing. Should I try betting on boat racing when I get the pay for this job?"
Toji Fushiguro muttered to himself. On the tablet he had casually set aside, the target photo displayed was none other than So Yuki and her daughter!
