It was clear to everyone that Gojo Satoru survived the assassin's blade today.
It was all thanks to Hazome Sosuke's strange and rare Jujutsu that interfered with the killer's fatal blow.
Therefore, the Great Elder did not neglect him in the slightest, walking warmly to Hazome Sosuke and bowing slightly, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Hazome, for saving Satoru's life. I've heard the Kamo Family Head mention you. From now on, you are the most esteemed friend of the Gojo Family. If there is ever anything the Gojo Family can help with in the future, please do not hesitate to ask. All members of the Gojo Family will go through fire and water for you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present gasped in surprise.
For a Jujutsu Sorcerer, the Big Three Families were the highest mountain, the deepest river.
Not to mention the Gojo Family, which had given birth to the Six Eyes divine child, Gojo Satoru. All the guests present, except for Zen'in Naobito and the Kamo Family Head, weren't they all hoping to make a connection? They hoped to establish a friendly relationship with the Gojo Family, even if it meant only a marginal share of benefits in the future, it would still be a delicious feast for them.
Yet now, the Great Elder regarded Hazome Sosuke, a newcomer to the Jujutsu World who was not well-known, as an honored guest.
The hearts of the guests coming and going were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred!
Hazome Sosuke returned the bow, saying, "The Great Elder exaggerates. Shino-kun is my teacher. Thanks to his unreserved practical teaching, I was able to awaken my cursed technique so quickly."
Gojo Shino stepped forward, his voice clear and bright, "What's with all this 'teacher' talk? It's too formal. From now on, whether at Gojo Tech or anywhere else, you, Hazome, are one of my best friends."
Gojo Shino's voice was loud.
Not only had the Great Elder stepped forward, but now even the Gojo Family Head had come out to acknowledge Hazome Sosuke as one of their own.
This declaration shocked all the guests, big and small, in the courtyard.
After all, as one of the Big Three Families, the Gojo Family, although not as feudal and traditional as the Zen'in Family and Kamo Family, was still very proud.
Ordinary Jujutsu Sorcerers simply couldn't catch their eye.
However, today's situation was special, as Hazome Sosuke had, after all, saved the Gojo Family's Six Eyes divine child.
It was reasonable and proper for him to be honored as a distinguished guest by the Gojo Family.
The guests only regretted that they didn't have a cursed technique as bizarre as Hazome's, otherwise…
Similarly, Zen'in Naobito and the Kamo Family Head, whose wishes had been dashed, were incredibly frustrated!
Gojo Satoru was on the verge of dying at the assassin's hands; he was so close.
But he was saved by a cursed technique released by Hazome Sosuke, who had only been enrolled at Gojo Tech for just over two months!
Such are the sudden ups and downs of life.
Moreover, Gojo Satoru survived today's crisis with divine favor.
It was likely that their wishes would have little chance of being realized.
Therefore, Zen'in Naobito and the Kamo Family Head exchanged glances and sighed heavily in unison.
As this sigh of relief was exhaled, the two instantly seemed to have aged several years.
After a brief interlude, the still-shaken Great Elder cautiously led Gojo Satoru back to the inner sanctum.
The remaining elders were left to entertain the distinguished guests.
And Hazome Sosuke and Masamichi Yaga also went to the inner sanctum at Gojo Shino's enthusiastic invitation.
They passed through a sun-drenched winding corridor and arrived at the inner sanctum.
The Gojo Family's inner sanctum was no different from an ancient noble's residence.
It was a simple, pure wooden structure, with a bamboo forest and tiger-leopard painting on the screen separating the entrance.
Passing through the entrance, Gojo Shino led them to the main study, specifically for important guests.
It was a particularly large suite, with walls and partitions adorned with auspicious patterns like pine, bamboo, and plum blossoms.
Gojo Shino instructed a servant to brew a pot of good tea, and as soon as he sat down, he eagerly asked, "Hazome, was that… your awakened cursed technique? When did you awaken it?"
After all, during the practical training a week ago, Hazome Sosuke showed no signs of awakening a cursed technique.
Saying this, Gojo Shino looked at Masamichi Yaga beside him.
Feeling the gaze, Masamichi Yaga quickly shook his head and said, "Don't look at me; I'm just like you, only finding out today that Hazome awakened his cursed technique."
Since he had used his cursed technique in public, Hazome Sosuke had no intention of hiding it.
However, he hadn't forgotten that his system mission was to impersonate Aizen.
So, Hazome Sosuke took a sip of the clear tea just brought by the servant and said, "My cursed technique was able to awaken, thanks to Shino-kun's practical teaching. After fighting with you a week ago, I gained a lot of insight, so I awakened my cursed technique two days later."
"My cursed technique is called [Reverse Stroke], and the incantation is [Shatter, Kyōka Suigetsu]. As for the ability of the cursed technique, you all just saw it. Once the cursed technique is activated, it can confuse the opponent's visual nerves, completely reversing their sense of front, back, up, down, left, and right."
Just as Hazome Sosuke finished explaining his cursed technique, he saw several lines of characters appear on the surface of the tea in the teacup in his hand.
[Interest +2+2… Expectation +2+2…]
[Scene compatibility 56%]
[Overall excitement 48%]
[Rewards: "Reishi Theory", "Reigai Production Method", Zankensoki Specialization +5, Wisdom +5, Charisma +5, Strategy +5….]
[Additional comment: To actually disguise Kyōka Suigetsu's ability as Hirako Shinji's Reverse Stroke, Haki Hazome, you truly have an unexpectedly wicked personality!]
In the original "Bleach" series, Hirako Shinji was once Aizen's superior, and later, Aizen ambushed and ambushed him, performing a Hollowfication experiment that almost killed him.
The two could be said to be mortal enemies.
Yet now, Hazome Sosuke actually disguised his own Kyōka Suigetsu's ability to manipulate the five senses as Reverse Stroke.
It was no wonder the system would add such a comment.
Seeing the characters formed by crimson light dots, Hazome Sosuke knew he had acted correctly.
Only the system rewards were beyond his expectation.
"Reishi Theory," in the "Bleach" worldview, Reishi are the fundamental particles of the soul, the energy that constructs the entire soul world.
As for Reigai, they are bodies that can contain souls.
With both, theoretically, Hazome Sosuke could, like Masamichi Yaga in the later stages, create an army of Reigai.
However… to come up with a name like Haki Hazome, System, you also need to hire an expert.
Although they had been mentally prepared, after listening to Hazome Sosuke's detailed explanation of his cursed technique.
Gojo Shino, Yaga, and the Great Elder present still couldn't help but show expressions of shock.
Reversing the target's visual nerves?!
One must know that a Jujutsu Sorcerer's battle is a duel of cursed techniques.
Every tiny oversight could lead to falling into the abyss of death.
And in such a life-and-death struggle, if the opponent suddenly releases a cursed technique that can reverse your visual nerves, making you believe you are attacking the opponent when in reality you are attacking in the opposite direction.
The result would be to completely expose your defenseless back to the opponent.
By the time you react, the enemy would have killed you several times over!
"What a terrifying cursed technique. It's also fortunate that you were able to awaken Reverse Stroke; Satoru is safe and sound today."
Gojo Shino looked at Gojo Satoru in his arms with paternal love, then looked at Hazome Sosuke, and suddenly said, "Hazome, do you want to hold Satoru?"
Hazome Sosuke looked incredulous: "Ah? …Can… I?"
"Of course you can."
Before Hazome Sosuke could react, Gojo Shino had already stood up and handed Gojo Satoru over.
Hazome Sosuke clumsily took the infant Gojo Satoru, whom he had only seen in manga.
Now, he was actually holding him in his arms.
It turned out that infant Gojo Satoru was so light and so cute.
Gazing at Gojo Satoru's pure and brilliant eyes, Hazome Sosuke couldn't help but exclaim, "So this is the legendary Six Eyes, truly beautiful, like the expanse of the sky."
"The expanse of the sky, what a clever description." Gojo Shino and the Great Elder laughed in unison.
And Hazome Sosuke, overflowing with affection, also began to tease Gojo Satoru in various ways.
Clicking his tongue to attract attention, poking his chubby cheeks that were as bouncy as pudding.
And Gojo Satoru suddenly opened his small hand and affectionately grabbed Hazome Sosuke's index finger, not letting go.
"It seems Mr. Hazome and Satoru have a great connection. Since I've been taking care of him, he's never made such an affectionate gesture towards an old man like me."
Hearing the Great Elder's tone of relief mixed with a hint of grievance.
Gojo Shino and Yaga beside him also couldn't help but burst into laughter.
For a moment, the main study was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
