Heavenly Restriction User of the Gojo Clan: I Refuse to Be Cut in Half

The sudden attack did not deter Satoshi from proceeding with his planned visit to the Zenin Clan.

After all, he had already sent a formal request through Toji, and breaking the appointment now would be unacceptable.

Besides, given the situation, after a failed assassination attempt, it was unlikely that another killer would be foolish enough to target him when he was now on high alert.

It wasn't as if the mastermind behind this had another cursed object capable of possessing a second Gojo Clan member that he knew.

Such a thing could only happen once, never again.

This kind of cursed object, one that could maintain the body's appearance after taking possession, was an exceptionally rare ability.

Satoshi scoured his memories.

In the original timeline, Sukuna's remains and Kenjaku's techniques allowed for similar possessions, where the host body retained its original form even after being taken over.

This cursed object is special. I wonder if I can recover it after Toji killed it?

Since it was a possession, the physical body was exorcised, but the actual cursed object should still exist, right?

Satoshi walked quietly beside Toji, deep in thought about his future plans.

At present, he already had three Zanpakutō: Sode no Shirayuki, Suzumushi, and Senbonzakura.

Of these, Senbonzakura and Suzumushi had already been loaned out through the Borrowed Sword Function—one to Satoru, the other to Shunichi.

Only Sode no Shirayuki remained as his exclusive weapon.

Both Senbonzakura and Suzumushi had achieved Shikai in their users' hands, revealing their true abilities.

Based on his current training schedule, his Hakuda progress wouldn't take long.

Within a month, with Toji's guidance and enough experience packs, he should be able to reach the level required to learn Hohō (mobility), specifically Shunpo (Flash Step).

With that, he would have mastered two core Shinigami combat techniques.

Combining Sode no Shirayuki, Zanjutsu and his growing proficiency in Hakuda, his strength in this timeline was already comparable to a Grade 1 Sorcerer.

As long as he, Satoru, and Toji didn't run into Sukuna or Kenjaku, they would be practically unbeatable.

Even Special-Grade Cursed Spirits wouldn't be a problem against the three of them.

Yet, despite his current strength, Satoshi felt an overwhelming sense of urgency.

Even with his preparations, even with Satoru wielding Senbonzakura, there was no guarantee that the future where Sukuna bisected Satoru wouldn't happen.

Sukuna and Kenjaku were not to be underestimated.

Especially Kenjaku, who had been planning in secret for centuries. There was no telling how many backup plans he had in place.

If he let his guard down simply because he had three Zanpakutō and had mastered Zanjutsu, Satoshi was certain he would regret it in the future.

That's why he needed to gather as much strength as possible.

He had to rally every potential ally who could stand against Kenjaku and Sukuna.

If possible, he wanted to establish relationships with all of them.

Even after all this time, he still didn't know Kenjaku's true power.

In the original timeline, Special-Grade Sorcerer Tsukumo Yuki, Special-Grade Cursed Spirit Tengen, and even Sukuna himself couldn't prevent Kenjaku from executing his plans.

After all, in the original story, Sukuna's rise was orchestrated entirely by Kenjaku.

I need to forge an invincible Zanpakutō for myself.

At the same time, I need to lend more Zanpakutō to worthy allies…

The problem is, most of the sorcerers I know are either still kids or haven't even been born yet.

As for the current higher-ups in the Jujutsu world… they're all corrupt. None of them are worthy of wielding my swords.

Satoshi's Six Eyes constantly processed information from his surroundings, and before long, fatigue set in.

At that moment, he understood why Satoru always wore sunglasses when he was younger.

And why, as an adult, he constantly wore an eye mask.

When he first read the original story, he assumed Satoru did it to show off.

But now, he realized the truth.

The Six Eyes' analysis ability was too exhausting.

It never stopped. Every detail he saw was broken down and examined, straining his brain with an overwhelming amount of information.

When I get back, I need to forge a pair of sunglasses for Satoru and myself.

This might help with mental training, but being this tired all the time isn't ideal.

Satoshi exhaled, glancing at Toji beside him.

With Toji guarding him, he didn't need to keep his Six Eyes constantly active.

That in mind, he closed his eyes and simply followed Toji's lead.

I wonder if I can find the cursed tools I need in the Zenin Clan's secret storage…

A fire-based cursed tool would be ideal…

If I can forge that Zanpakutō and successfully achieve Bankai, I could potentially shut down all of Kenjaku's contingency plans.

But to forge it, I would need at least a Special-Grade Cursed Tool.

Had Yoru wielded a Special-Grade Cursed Tool back then, he might not have forged Sode no Shirayuki.

Instead, he could have created Hyorinmaru, the strongest ice-type Zanpakutō in Soul Society.

Satoshi continued analyzing his past forging experiences.

Every Zanpakutō in this world was linked to the characteristics of the cursed tool fused into it.

If he wanted to recreate the legendary Zanpakutō from Bleach, he needed to find exceptional cursed tools as base materials.

However, it wasn't an absolute requirement.

As long as the essential characteristics were present, even lower-grade materials could still produce a Zanpakutō.

If the Zenin Clan's vault doesn't have the tools I need, many legendary Zanpakutō may never be born in this world.

That means I need to check three locations: the Zenin Clan, the Kamo Clan, and Jujutsu High's storage vault.

These places are the most likely to contain Special-Grade Cursed Tools.

Kenjaku has been manipulating events for centuries, he must have his own collection of cursed tools.

But if possible, I'd rather not confront him directly just yet.

If he had the chance, Satoshi would love to kill Kenjaku right now.

That would prevent the entire disaster that was to come.

But he knew that was just wishful thinking.

Kenjaku wasn't just strong, his strategic planning was nearly flawless.

Even as a reincarnator with cheats, Satoshi knew that some opponents could not be taken down in a single battle.

And Kenjaku was one of them.
