Heavenly Restriction User of the Gojo Clan: I Refuse to Be Cut in Half-Chapter 226: The Purpose of Reclaiming Sukuna’s Finger?

Chapter 226: Chapter 226: The Purpose of Reclaiming Sukuna’s Finger?

"Well then, cheers to peace!"

The four of them clinked their glasses, faces filled with joy.

If anyone else had said those words, it would’ve sounded shameless. But coming from Satoshi, it felt entirely possible. After all, nine years ago, he had created countless miracles for them. He was someone they could trust completely.

Toji smiled and asked, "Satoshi, just tell us what you want us to do!"

Satoshi glanced at Jogo, then calmly said to Toji and Yuto, "There’s nothing specific for now.

The main thing is to keep an eye out for any news about Sukuna’s fingers, Itadori Kaori, and other Curse Users.

As far as I know, they intend to revive the Curse King from a thousand years ago, Ryomen Sukuna."

Then, he continued, speaking clearly and firmly, "And I intend to stop that from happening."

"Curse Users?" Jogo was a little stunned.

He was well aware that group was a threat to humanity—arguably even more ruthless than Cursed Spirits.

Toji and Yuto came from prominent sorcerer families. They were naturally familiar with Curse Users. Unlike Cursed Spirits, Curse Users had once been human. They were those who had awakened Cursed Techniques and used them to kill for desire or pleasure.

"So next, I’ll be destroying Sukuna’s fingers, weakening his power."

"All you need to do is monitor the Curse Users’ movements. Don’t act unless necessary."

He suddenly thought of the Star Plasma Vessel. If Kenjaku wanted to assimilate Lord Tengen, he would definitely target her.

It wasn’t time yet, but with the butterfly effect in play, who knew what might change? It wouldn’t hurt to have them keep an eye on Riko Amanai.

It had been a long time since Satoshi had seen his friends at the Yorozuya, so he ended up chatting with them for quite a while.

They even sparred.

Neither side used their full power, but Satoshi’s strength had clearly grown far beyond what it was nine years ago.

Satoshi reminded them seriously, "That’s enough for today. Everyone in the jujutsu world knows the Yorozuya is closely tied to me. Be cautious when you go out on missions."

With that, he turned to leave. At the door, he looked back at them and smiled. "Take care. I’ll visit again once I finish handling things."

Then he left.

Toji watched Satoshi’s back, then slung his arms around Yuto and Jogo’s shoulders, speaking softly.

"Satoshi really is a monster. He’s still that strong after nine years asleep. Even with all three of us, it felt like we wouldn’t gain an edge."

"This is all Jogo’s fault for holding us back!"

"Are you sure you two weren’t the ones dragging me down? But yeah, the boss really is powerful."

Yuto ignored Jogo’s sarcasm. He turned to Toji and said with a smile, "He’s calm and composed. That kind of presence is rare among the younger generation. Jogo, don’t worry. You followed the right person."

Jogo responded calmly, "You don’t need to tell me. From the moment the boss first used Ryūjin Jakka, I knew I picked the right side."

Toji smiled faintly. "Yuto, keep an eye on the Star Plasma Vessel just in case something happens."

Yuto groaned. "Why don’t we let Jogo handle it?!"

Jogo: "..."

...

The next morning.

Satoshi was already up early, training on the field while thinking about how to deal with the remaining two of Sukuna’s fingers.

He needed to both refine his Fist-Slashing Technique and continue adapting to his body. There was no time to waste.

Suddenly, his phone rang, which was rare.

Satoshi stopped and checked the screen. It was a call from Yagyū Hidetsugu.

Hidetsugu was in a unique position. If he was calling, it likely meant trouble.

Satoshi had a vague sense of what was coming as he answered the call.

"Hello, Uncle Hidetsugu," Satoshi greeted calmly.

Hidetsugu’s voice came through the speaker, slightly anxious.

"Satoshi-kun, the finger that you and Satoru retrieved yesterday must be returned to the Jujutsu Headquarters for safekeeping. It’s been requested that the item be placed under the care of the Directorate."

Satoshi wasn’t surprised.

When Hidetsugu called, he had already guessed this would be the case.

After a brief silence, Hidetsugu sighed. "I’m sorry, Satoshi-kun. I really tried, but they brought in the Minister."

After another moment of silence, Satoshi responded thoughtfully, "Uncle Hidetsugu, it’s fine. No need to apologize. If I’m right, this probably has something to do with the group you mentioned yesterday, doesn’t it?"

Yesterday, Hidetsugu had mentioned that aside from himself, there was another force within the Jujutsu Headquarters secretly gathering Sukuna’s fingers.

Apparently, it was linked to the old sorcerer families.

I wonder what their goal is in collecting Sukuna’s fingers.

Hidetsugu sighed and confirmed, "Yes. And if nothing unexpected happens... well, something unexpected will happen. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

That faction is tied to the Zenin and Kamo families.

They’ve also rallied several smaller families to their side, but their objective remains unclear.

I’ve already sent people to investigate further."

Satoshi replied, "Good. You keep investigating. As for Sukuna’s finger, it’s still at Jujutsu High. No need to pay them any mind. Let them try to take it if they can."

With that, he hung up.

He knew Hidetsugu would take care of the follow-up, so he didn’t need to get involved further.

...

At the same time, in a meeting room at the Jujutsu Headquarters.

Three men sat upright in traditional kimonos, each with a cup of steaming tea before them.

One of them picked up his teacup, took a sip, and spoke first.

"Say, is this really okay? Those two fingers were recovered by the Gojo brothers on behalf of the high school. If we force them to hand them over, won’t we provoke the Gojo clan?"

The man in the gray kimono sitting opposite him chuckled, the smile on his face tinged with disdain.

Anyone who knew him would recognize his Zenin heritage.

"Since when is the Kamo clan afraid of the Gojo family?"

He continued calmly, "It’s true that Gojo Satoshi is still powerful. But without his Zanpakutō, he’s nowhere near as terrifying as he was nine years ago.

The ’Kidō’ he uses to exorcise Cursed Spirits is merely another form of jujutsu."

"That’s right. Without his Zanpakutō, Gojo Satoshi is not worth fearing," the third man said indifferently. "Kamo, nine years have passed. This is no longer Gojo Satoshi’s era."

The Zenin representative didn’t refute the claim. He simply sipped his tea in silence.
