The Curse User incident was just a minor interlude.
Although Awasaka Jiro and Ogami Granny were supposed to reappear in the Shibuya Incident with quite a lot of screen time.
Gojo Akira wasn't afraid that the deaths of those two would affect the timeline.
Just two small pieces of trash.
The only thing to note is that Ogami Granny used her Seance Technique to summon Toji's body; that was a major event.
"That guy, Fushiguro Toji..."
Gojo Akira had a bit of a headache.
Personally, he felt quite sorry for the guy, but unfortunately, Gojo Satoru was fated to face a trial by his hand.
Of course, if it took Toji's intervention for Gojo Satoru to grasp the Reverse Cursed Technique, then that was a different story.
Then it wouldn't be a trial, but a stroke of luck.
Gojo Akira pondered and decided he could consider sparing Toji's life, just giving him a beating instead.
Back at the Gojo Family home, Akira and Satoru were informed that they would be attending a banquet organized by The Big Three Families in three days.
"Can we not go?"
Satoru was clearly uninterested in such things.
The elders of the Gojo Family immediately became restless.
What did a banquet of The Big Three Families signify?
It was a unique opportunity for the Gojo Family to show off their six eyes twins in front of the Zenin and Kamo families! (Strikethrough)
It was an opportunity for the outstanding younger generation of The Big Three Families to exchange knowledge and learn from each other!
Although these old fogies really wanted to show off in front of the Zenin and Kamo families, neither Akira nor Satoru had much interest.
"The stars of this banquet are the two of you. If you're absent, the Zenin and Kamo families will think we're arrogant, which would reflect poorly on the Gojo Family!"
Akira retorted, "Arrogant? Isn't the Gojo Family always like that?"
Satoru nodded in agreement beside him.
The Great Elder was instantly choked up.
In the Jujutsu World, the arrogance of The Big Three Families was legendary.
In their eyes, except for The Big Three Families, Jujutsu Sorcerers from other factions were trash, and non-sorcerers were just wild monkeys!
However, to the surprise of the family elders, the six eyes twins, who should have been incomparably noble in their eyes, were quite "approachable," and even "lowered their status"!
Seeing that everyone seemed to value this banquet so much, Akira relented and compromised out of respect for his elders.
"Are there any interesting activities at this banquet?"
The Great Elder quickly introduced: "Yes, yes, the juniors of The Big Three Families will interact with each other at this banquet, which means martial arts sparring."
"Tch~"
Akira and Satoru both rolled their eyes.
They were expected to play house with those little kids?
The Great Elder also knew that with their strength, such things were indeed boring, so he continued:
"There will also be an auction at the banquet where you two young masters can bid on items you like. Furthermore, the grand finale is a special grade cursed tool!"
Akira's ears perked up. "A special grade cursed tool? What's it called?"
"yūun!"
Oh ho! That three-section staff!
Gojo Akira became interested. "Sounds good, let's go check it out then!"
Seeing that Akira intended to go, Satoru reluctantly agreed as well.
Soon, three days passed.
Akira looked at the stretched black sedan in front of him and the elegantly dressed servant who was only fit to open the door for him.
For the first time, he realized the sheer wealth of the Gojo Family.
How should he put it? Startled awake from my deathbed, it turns out I'm the tycoon myself?
Akira and Satoru stood on their tiptoes to climb into the sedan.
The interior of the car was excessively large for the two of them, with a built-in TV and refrigerator, looking quite luxurious.
Akira took a bottle of drink from the refrigerator.
Gulp, gulp~
As the cold, sweet liquid slid down his throat into his stomach, Akira exhaled a breath of comfort.
Ah! This life of extreme luxury, I love it!
Satoru was a bit speechless. "Drinking cold drinks in the middle of winter?"
"The hot blood of youth is surging within me!"
"..."
While the two were chatting, the sedan had already carried them to a five-star hotel in Ginza.
"Welcome!"
Two rows of maids in formal attire bowed in unison, showing off quite a display.
Akira was a bit surprised. "With such a big fanfare, won't it create a bad impression?"
The Great Elder laughed. "Don't worry, Young Master Akira. This hotel is a property of The Big Three Families. Today it only hosts Jujutsu Sorcerers and is not open to outsiders!"
Akira's eyelid twitched.
Fine, it was his lack of experience!
The group took the elevator and soon reached the top floor of the hotel.
When Akira and Satoru arrived at the venue, it was already filled with people mingling and clinking glasses.
Besides people from The Big Three Families, many factions and families affiliated with them had also arrived one by one.
For instance, the Okkotsu Family, distant relatives of the Gojo Family, or the Ieiri family, famous in the Jujutsu World for producing Shoko Ieiri, a natural user of the Reverse Cursed Technique.
However, as Akira and Satoru appeared, the originally noisy venue quickly fell silent.
Immediately after, all the Jujutsu Sorcerers present cast scrutinizing glances.
The six eyes twins!
The birth of Akira and Satoru had once caused a sensation throughout the entire Jujutsu World.
In the history of the Gojo Family, the birth of the Six Eyes was rare, occurring only once every four or five hundred years.
But this time, six eyes twins had appeared, which was an unprecedented situation.
Whether it was a curse or a blessing, it was certain that Akira and Satoru, the six eyes twins, would become the undisputed protagonists of the future Jujutsu World!
At this moment, facing the countless gazes, Akira and Satoru frowned, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
The Great Elder chuckled from the side. "Young Master Akira and Young Master Satoru are truly special; you're the center of attention wherever you go!"
Akira responded softly with a fake smile, "Rather than being the focus, I feel more like monkeys being watched in a zoo!"
"Uh..."
The Great Elder's lips twitched.
Young Master Akira was good in every way, except for his mouth, which had been venomous since he learned to speak.
Just then, two figures walked toward Akira and Satoru, with the crowd parting wherever they went.
The head of the Zenin Family, Zen'in Naobito.
The head of the Kamo Family, Kamo Takanobu.
Although both wore smiles, judging by their chillingly cold aura, neither was in a good mood.
This was understandable.
Six years ago, the Gojo Family had the dumb luck of birthing the six eyes twins, ensuring a successor for the Limitless technique.
The Zenin and Kamo families had long been consumed by jealousy.
Over these six years, Kamo Takanobu had ordered his clan to produce more offspring, hoping for a child who could inherit Blood Manipulation, but unfortunately, fate did not grant his wish.
The Zenin Family was even more miserable; not only had they failed to produce an heir for the Ten Shadows Technique in recent decades, but they had also seen the birth of a Heavenly Restriction carrier.
To The Big Three Families, someone without Cursed Energy was just a wild monkey.
Especially in the most conservative and pedantic Zenin Family, a Heavenly Restriction was a complete stain on the family.
Every time he thought of this, Zen'in Naobito was so angry he couldn't sleep at night.
The Gojo Family... what did they do to deserve this!
"These two must be the famous six eyes twins? I am the head of the Zenin Family, Zen'in Naobito. It's a pleasure to meet you both!"
Kamo Takanobu also stepped forward to greet them; though his heart was filled with jealousy, he still had to keep up appearances.
"I am the head of the Kamo Family, Kamo Takanobu! Very pleased to meet you two little friends!"
While Gojo Satoru was still pondering his words, Gojo Akira already responded with a smile, "Then the two of you are happy far too early!"
Zen'in Naobito: "..."
Kamo Takanobu: "..."
