On the next day, by evening, the Zenin estate had undergone a huge change. Traditional and expensive decorations were put up everywhere to display the status of the clan.
After all, this was a major event where the Zenin had invited the other two major clans: Gojo and Kamo.
Meaning the event had to be grand to showcase their status.
And the main reason for the event, the star of the show, was none other than Naoya Zenin.
The child who awakened the legendary 'Ten Shadows Technique.'
"He's the one, isn't he?"
"Yes, that's Naoya Zenin."
"Both the Zenin clan and the Gojo clan are blessed with monsters in the same era...."
"Could it be an auspicious sign? Or a disaster in disguise?..."
Naoya, following behind Naobito, met a lot of different guests.
But there was only one he personally wanted to meet.
Gojo Satoru.
Nah! I'd win!!
Bro was too busy aura farming that he forgot to win!
Naoya smiled and kept looking around for the future strongest sorcerer.
And he didn't have to wait long.
'There he is.'
He saw Gojo, wearing a blue Japanese outfit, making his way toward them, surrounded by members of the Gojo clan.
'Hm, why is his hair a bit long? Almost reaching his neck....'
It seemed the poor Gojo clan was unable to afford a barber for their little genius.
"Clan Head Naobito, congratulations," the Gojo family head greeted Naobito in a calm tone while looking at Naoya.
"Gojo Clan Head..." Naobito narrowed his eyes, then started a conversation with his rival clan.
While the two old farts were busy in their own world, Naoya was staring directly at Gojo with a smile.
The intense gaze seemed to have attracted Gojo's attention as he looked back at him.
Instantly, their eyes met.
Naoya seemed to have read something from them.
Confusion.
And... surprise.
'First time someone dared to look you straight in the eye, huh? Hehe, I bet you must be confused, Gojo Satoru...'
Containing the bubbling excitement inside him, Naoya raised his hand and pointed at the confused Gojo before saying,
"Genius of the Gojo clan, how about the two of us talk alone?"
His words seemed to have an effect as everyone suddenly stopped talking and turned to look at him.
Gojo's eyes widened a little, then he unconsciously turned his head to look at the Gojo family head.
But before he could—
A casual voice entered his ears.
"Don't tell me you're too scared and need to ask for permission."
Hearing those provocative words—
Gojo's frozen expression finally changed as he narrowed his eyes to stare at Naoya.
"Clan Head Naobito, what is this—"
"It's a simple interaction between children and nothing else," Naobito said in a calm voice.
Although he didn't know what had happened to his idiot son, he wouldn't mind supporting it.
The Gojo clan head frowned, then just as he was about to speak, Gojo suddenly moved and took a step forward, ignoring those around him.
Seeing the scene, Naoya smiled widely and turned around, leading Gojo away under everyone's attentive gaze.
The Gojo clan head silently gestured to his guards to be prepared in case of emergency.
Naobito remained silent, still wondering what his idiot son was up to.
After coming to a less crowded area, Naoya stopped and turned around.
And as soon as he did, he was met with a close-up of Gojo's face.
'Bro, why the hell are you walking so close??'
He was almost climbing on his face!
Barely controlling the corners of his mouth from twitching, Naoya took a step back.
'This bastard is probably trying to make fun of me by catching me off guard! Too bad for you! I know exactly how your character is!'
Honestly, there was a lot he wanted to discuss with Gojo.
By simply giving him some hints, he could pretty much change the entire flow of the story. Not to mention, even if he just told Gojo to become stronger faster, the entire future could be changed for the better.
Still, as a true fan of the JJK verse, there was one thing he had to do before they got to the technical part.
Seeing Naoya suddenly become silent, the genius of the Gojo clan was about to speak when a calm voice rang out.
"Are you the strongest because you're Satoru Gojo? Or are you Satoru Gojo because you're the strongest?"
Tell us!
The world wants to know!
As Naoya calmly waited for the answer with a smile on his face, a sudden, unexpectedly soft feminine voice entered his ears.
".... My name isn't Gojo Satoru...."
Naoya's smile froze, and his body started shaking.
"...It's Gojo Satori."
Naoya felt his vision go blank for a moment.
'What is happening?'
'Why is it happening?'
'Did Gojo just sound like a.... a girl?'
'Gojo S-satori? I-isn't t-that a female name???'
It was only now that his eyes opened up to the obvious hints he had been unconsciously ignoring before.
The way Gojo was wearing her dress..... was exactly similar to a woman....
After gathering all the clues in an instant, Naoya's mind came to a single conclusion.
'Holy shit—!'
'I don't believe it.'
Naoya looked at Gojo with widened eyes and asked in an almost shouting voice,
"You're a woman?!"
Gojo Satori raised her eyebrow at his sudden question and said as a matter-of-fact,
"Of course I am a woman."
Gojo Satoru turned into a woman, fck!!!!
T-this plot twist was crazier than an alien invading the JJK world!
The sudden shock was a little hard for Naoya to handle as his mind fell into confusion.
Gojo Satori, seeing the dazed look on his face, tilted her head in confusion. Then she suddenly understood something and asked in curiosity,
"You.... thought I was a man?"
Naoya remained silent, not knowing how to reply.
"No way....."
Gojo Satori suddenly smiled, then pointed at Naoya before saying,
"Could it be that you're an idiot?"
"I'm not an idiot..."
"Then why did you think I was a guy?"
"There was a gap in information—"
"Gap in information? Puff! Your father came to our place before, he knew I was a girl! Which means you made a mistake on your own, idiot!"
Gojo started snickering at Naoya, completely losing her icy-cold expression from before.
'How did it come to this... I'm being laughed at by the idiot Gojo....'
Rubbing his temple, Naoya released a sigh before regaining his composure.
Anyway, it didn't matter.
Gojo was Gojo, even if he was no longer a 'he' but a 'she'.
Hey, as long as she was able to take care of the future trouble, he really couldn't care less.
"It seems we got off to a rough start. My name is Naoya Zenin."
Naoya said as he extended his hand toward her.
Satori looked at his outstretched hand for a moment before raising her own and shaking it.
"Gojo Satori, and please don't forget I'm a girl."
Black lines appeared on Naoya's forehead.
".....I won't."
"Then why did you call me here?"
"Well, it's nothing major....."
Naoya stopped for a moment before smiling and saying,
"Would you like to be my friend?"
Hearing his words, Satori blinked before repeating,
".....You want to be friends? With me?"
"Yes, I do."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course."
Satori fell silent for a moment, wondering if Naoya was lying.
But seeing his clear eyes, it didn't seem like he was.....
Silently, a small smile appeared on her face as she asked,
"You got any hobbies?"
"Yup, I like to watch anime."
"Wait—you like anime too?"
Satori's eyes lit up.
"Yes, I'm a big fan!"
"Then..."
Satori took a step back and put her arms together, making the legendary pose no true fan could ever mistake.
Pushing her arms toward Naoya, she said in a cute but serious voice,
"Kamehameha!"
Naoya wasn't to be outdone. He quickly spread his arms and made another counter gesture.
"Curse you, Kakarot! Take my Galick Gun!"
"Hahaha, you know your stuff, Naoya!"
On the side, the clan heads of Zenin and Gojo were staring at the two in silence, the same thought passing through their minds.
'What the hell are these brats doing?'
They were both uncultured swine.
"Alright, let's be friends," Gojo Satori said while clapping her hands.
"Mission accomplished," Naoya said while raising his clenched fist.
"Hahaha, you're a weird one, Naoya, but thank you for being my friend."
"Hm? What's there to thank about?"
"That's why I said you're a weird one."
Not understanding her meaning, Naoya decided to ignore it.
At the same time, Satori took out her mobile and asked,
"Tell me your number, Naoya."
"Ah, I don't have a phone."
"What? Seriously?"
Satori gave him a surprised look, as if she were looking at a rare animal.
Naoya shrugged.
"How about you leave me your number? I'll text you after getting a phone."
"Hmm, alright."
Gojo Satori nodded and wrote her number down on a paper presented by one of the Zenin clan's servants.
Then, since the event was long, the two of them started talking about anime and games.
Time passed, and the event ended before they knew it.
While leaving, Satori kept waving her hand, which Naoya replied to by waving his own.
Seeing her figure disappear in the distance, he lowered his hand and let out a small breath.
His suppose to be bro just became a sis.
He didn't know how to feel.
He almost felt like he was dreaming.
