Soon after, the protagonist of this banquet finally appeared, escorted by many elders of the Gojo Family.
In the vast courtyard, the previous clamor seemed to be under a spell, instantly becoming so quiet that the drop of a needle could be clearly heard.
Everyone looked at the Six Eyes child held in the hands of the current family head, Gojo Shino.
He had silver-white hair and delicate, flawless skin.
His tightly closed eyes seemed to respond to everyone's anticipation, slowly opening.
His eyes, as blue as the clear sky, were dazzling yet carried an air of inviolable divinity, as if a god from heaven was observing his devout followers.
The Six Eyes, which had previously only existed in rumors passed down through generations in the Jujutsu World.
When truly witnessing its existence at this moment, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in awe from the depths of their hearts.
The moment Zen'in Naobito and the Kamo Family Head's gazes met the Six Eyes, their breathing suddenly became rapid, their bodies uncontrollably trembled, and the Jujutsu within them became as chaotic as a collapsing mountain and a raging sea.
At this moment, even though they had prepared themselves mentally, complex emotions of shock, bitterness, and helplessness intertwined within them.
Because the birth of the Six Eyes child, Gojo Satoru, disrupted not only the balance of the Big Three Families but also the balance of the entire Jujutsu World!
As long as he existed in the Jujutsu World, he would be a great mountain suspended over the heads of every Jujutsu Sorcerer and Curse Spirit.
And all they could do was look up!
Damn it!!!
Even though it was inappropriate for such a grand occasion, Zen'in Naobito couldn't help but curse; otherwise, he feared he would truly die from suffocation.
The Kamo Family Head's face was equally grim.
At this moment, Zen'in Naobito and the Kamo Family Head no longer hoped for a child born in their families to awaken Ten Shadows Technique or "Crimson Blood Manipulation".
A single thought, as if they were telepathically connected, arose in their minds.
That was for a mysterious and highly skilled assassin to appear on the Jujutsu World's dark web and completely nip Gojo Satoru in the bud, the sooner the better!
However, they also knew how absurd this idea was.
A bounty of one hundred million, though an unprecedented sky-high reward in the Jujutsu World, was merely a drop in the ocean compared to the Gojo Family's profound heritage.
Trying to kill Gojo Satoru under the current protection of the entire Gojo Family was simply a pipe dream.
But the world is never short of hotheads blinded by money.
The young servant who had just been holding red wine beside Zen'in Naobito looked at Gojo Satoru in Gojo Shino's arms not far away.
A thrilled smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
A sharp blade, glinting with cold light, slid out from his sleeve, and then he thrust it directly towards Gojo Satoru's heart!
His thrusting arm, along with the sharp blade, instantly vanished, and simultaneously, at a distance of one foot in front of Gojo Satoru, half of the assassin's arm mysteriously appeared.
This was his cursed technique, Leap, which, as the name suggests, allowed his attacks to leap through space within a certain range, achieving spatial transfer to deliver a fatal blow to the target without anyone noticing.
Such a cursed technique was also his reliance for daring to carry out an assassination at such a grand occasion as Gojo Satoru's celebration.
It must be said that such an unpredictable cursed technique was no different from cheating for an assassin.
The sudden assassination stunned all the guests present.
Gojo Shino and the elders also didn't expect that an assassin would actually dare to assassinate the Six Eyes divine child in broad daylight.
They were all in a panic, almost instinctively moving to save Gojo Satoru, but the ability of Leap was too far beyond their expectations, so much so that they couldn't possibly snatch or block the blade that was about to plunge into Gojo Satoru's heart and take his life.
Seeing this situation, Zen'in Naobito and the Kamo Family Head were stunned for a moment, then their hearts swelled with wild joy.
They felt that heaven had heard their fervent prayers, bestowed its protection, and answered their requests!
I succeeded! I'll take the one hundred million bounty!
With no one seemingly able to stop his attack, the assassin couldn't help but celebrate prematurely in his heart, and the image of Gojo Satoru's heart being pierced by his blade flashed through his mind.
But just then, Hazome Sosuke gripped his sword hilt in reverse, drew his sword, and held it before him.
His voice was deep and magical as he softly said, "Shatter! Kyōka Suigetsu!"
[Interest +1+1... Anticipation +1+1...]
Hazome Sosuke's sudden action attracted the attention of almost everyone present, and even the dark web assassin was bewildered by his inexplicable behavior.
From such a distance, what was he going to do by drawing his sword?
Everyone saw the space where Hazome Sosuke stood, like a mirror struck by an external force, producing cracks and shattering.

The next second, everyone felt their world spin, and a wave of dizziness swept over them.
When they recovered, they found that the ground where they had been standing had become the sky, and the sky had become the ground; everything in reality had been inverted.
Seeing this scene, the assassin felt a bad premonition.
Sure enough, the blade that was originally meant to pierce Gojo Satoru's heart had completely reversed direction and was now stabbing into empty air.
The assassin stared in disbelief at his failed assassination attempt; the joy he had felt instantly vanished, replaced by a bone-chilling coldness.
Because he had already seen the elders of the Gojo Family, enveloped in a rage that seemed capable of devouring a person whole, appearing before him.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
One after another, cursed techniques landed mercilessly on him, intense pain accompanied by the sound of breaking bones.
Just as the assassin thought he was doomed, the elder who had struck the hardest suddenly called out to stop: "That's enough, leave him with one breath. Take him away and lock him up. After the banquet, we will interrogate him about how he managed to sneak in!"
After speaking, the elder's gaze, as sharp as a knife, swept over every member of the Gojo Family present.
The larger the family, the more internal strife there is, and the Gojo Family was no exception.
If it weren't for an inside member colluding with this assassin, he would never have been able to infiltrate.
This made the elder both furious and disheartened.
Someone within the family had actually become so deluded, willing to collude with outsiders to eliminate the Six Eyes divine child, a once-in-a-century talent for the family, all due to jealousy and fear of losing their own interests, just to solidify their position.
If he didn't uncover and thoroughly eradicate this person, how could he possibly continue to sit as the elder?!
