After Nue appeared, the two of them circled it for a long time, happily touching its wings and body. Once they were done playing, each grabbed one of Nue's claws and experienced a low-altitude flight.
"Interesting, hey Eiji, you should be my driver from now on."
Eiji shot Satoru Gojo a glare.
"Go cool off. If you want to fly, get stronger and fly yourself. Nue is mine."
Eiji's mouth twitched as he remembered how Satoru Gojo later used his Cursed Technique to launch himself around the world like a cannonball.
He was sure Satoru Gojo chose this teleportation method not just because it was fast, but because it was fun, thrilling, and the most stylish.
"Speaking of which, what about the thing I asked you to do earlier?"
"Ah, that. I finished it a while ago."
With that, Satoru Gojo casually tossed a briefcase over.
Eiji took out the documents inside and began to examine them carefully.
Name: Dongfang Eiji
Head of Household: Dongfang Xiang (Deceased)
Address: XX District, XX Block, XX Street, XX Building, X Unit, Osaka City
Inside was the new identification document that Eiji had asked Satoru Gojo to handle for him.
Compared to China, the household registration management system in Japan was much more lax. They didn't have a strict household book or ID card system; identity was usually proven with things like a driver's license.
Furthermore, the interconnectivity between different regions in Japan was relatively poor, making it not as easy to verify if an identity was forged as it was in China.
Japan would later issue something similar to an ID card, but that was something that happened 20 years later.
"How is it? If you call me Onii-sama (Big Brother), I can let you be my little brother."
Satoru Gojo said with a mischievous grin, putting his arm around Eiji's shoulder.
"Huh? If anyone's calling anyone brother, it should be you calling me brother. I'm two months older than you."
"What a shame, you're younger than me now."
Satoru Gojo pointed to the birth date on the documents.
It stated December 8, 1989, exactly one day later than Satoru Gojo's.
Veins instantly bulged on Eiji's forehead, then, they bulged for a moment.
"You must have other Summoned Spirits, right? Call them out and I'll help you tame them."
Seeing Eiji remain silent, Satoru Gojo muttered "boring" to himself and looked for a new topic.
"I really don't understand whether you understand the Ten Shadows Technique or not."
Eiji looked at Satoru Gojo speechlessly. Sometimes, this guy would spout information about the Ten Shadows Technique, including Mahoraga, as if he knew it better than Eiji, the owner of the technique. Other times, what he said was completely nonsensical.
"Wait, don't tell me you only looked at Mahoraga's information and came here to show off?"
Recalling his childhood habit of showing off any new knowledge he learned to adults, Eiji suddenly understood something.
"How could that be? I looked at Full Elephant's too."
Satoru Gojo spread his hands, showing no sign of embarrassment at being exposed.
"Don't even think about it. Taming the Ten Shadows Technique's Summoned Spirits has restrictions. It's no use for you to try."
"Oh? What kind of restrictions?"
Eiji didn't hide anything.
"There are quite a few conditions, but they can be summarized into two aspects: First, no entity other than the Cursed Energy of the Ten Shadows Technique's owner can interfere with the taming ritual. Second, the taming site must meet certain conditions to ensure fairness."
The taming ritual for the Ten Shadows Technique's Summoned Spirits is essentially the owner of the technique beating all ten spirits into submission. However, even the strongest person so far has only managed to subdue nine spirits.
"Oh?"
Satoru Gojo fell into thought, catching the subtle meaning in Eiji's words. However, he gave up thinking in less than a minute.
Eiji didn't seem to mind this much. In reality, Satoru Gojo wasn't the type of person to overthink things. During their time at Jujutsu High, many of his decisions were made based on Suguru Geto's arrangements.
For example, during the Star Religious Cult incident, he had asked for Suguru Geto's opinion and abandoned the idea of killing the cult's pawns after Suguru Geto stated it was meaningless.
"Simply put, there are two points: Only my Cursed Energy can be present during the taming ritual, and the taming site, at least the site where the Summoned Spirit is summoned, must be relatively fair."
After speaking, Eiji pointed to a structure outside the courtyard, pieced together from various materials.
"See that?"
"I see it. Do you like that trashy style?"
... Eiji's forehead veins bulged again.
"That's an iron cage I temporarily put together with materials I found nearby. I originally planned to summon Nue inside it so it couldn't fly, but I was told the site didn't meet the requirements for the taming ritual. So, I had to go to an open space outside to perform the taming."
"Is that so? What a shame."
What Eiji didn't say was that although the Ten Shadows Technique's taming ritual had many rules, there were still quite a few loopholes.
This time, Eiji had exploited the second rule concerning the site, preparing a trap in the woods outside the taming ritual's designated area.
Afterward, he summoned a Nue in a clearing by the woods and immediately entered the forest. He used the trees to disrupt the Nue's aerial dive and lightning attacks, finally using himself as bait to lure the Nue into a trap and subdue it in one go.
Regarding the first rule, Eiji also had some ideas. On one hand, there were modern firearms, which many people discussed online in his past life. They had no Cursed Energy but possessed immense destructive power. Unfortunately, he had no way to acquire them now. On the other hand, there were Cursed Tools.
Eiji discovered that some Cursed Tools possessed their own Cursed Techniques and Cursed Energy. They were not recognized by the subduing ritual. However, Cursed Tools like the Heroic Spirit Chess Pieces, whose Cursed Energy fluctuations were identical to the person who injected Cursed Energy into them, were recognized by the subduing ritual.
This meant that some Cursed Tools could still be used in the subduing ritual.
"Hey, why don't you summon Full Elephant and let me test its level for you? That thing looks pretty strong."
After a few seconds of quiet, Satoru Gojo's lips curved into another mischievous smile, and he kept poking Eiji's shoulder with one hand.
He felt like a giant white cat that couldn't resist poking things.
Confirmed, this guy is just here to have fun.
"Don't even think about it. You can't beat it right now."
He said this while swatting away Satoru Gojo's poking hand.
"Ha! Are you underestimating me? If you could beat me, how could you possibly not beat it?"
With that, Satoru Gojo placed his hand on Eiji's head and began to tousle his hair.
I'll endure it, I'll endure it, I... can't endure it anymore.
"This is a good time for you to realize who's the boss here."
After saying that, the two of them started wrestling.
"Are you defeated yet?"
"Is that all?"
"Are you defeated... Ow, that hurt."
"My turn. Are you defeated?"
"You're a sore loser, aren't you? Using Infinity!"
"You have the nerve to say that? That dog almost bit my leg off."
"Who told you to step on the Divine Dog's tail, you brat? Apologize to the Divine Dog!"
"Ha, you want me to apologize to a dog? I won't."
"Divine Dog, bite him."
After a chaotic brawl, both boys and both Divine Dogs lay sprawled in the yard.
Although Eiji's Cursed Energy hadn't fully recovered, the two Divine Dogs he summoned earlier still retained a significant amount of Cursed Energy. With a 3-on-1 advantage, they actually had the upper hand.
What Eiji didn't know was that while the two of them were having fun in the yard, their two bodyguards stationed outside were on the verge of a heart attack, terrified that if the Divine Child were accidentally injured, they would be severely punished by the head of the Gojo Family.
Fortunately, although the Divine Dogs looked fierce, they were only targeting clothes. After all, it was just a playful fight between boys, and neither Eiji nor Satoru Gojo was using their full strength.
Moreover, Satoru Gojo was only 7 years old, and his control over Infinity was not as skilled as it would be later. Several times when he lost his balance, he unintentionally interrupted the operation of Infinity. Eiji naturally instructed the Divine Dogs to be careful and not bite too hard, just enough to tear Satoru Gojo's clothes to shreds.
You can endure the pain, but can you still be stubborn when your clothes are this tattered?
As it turned out, Satoru Gojo was indeed stubborn. He would probably still be defiant even if he were burned to ashes.
