Seeing the unease on Gojo Shunichi's face, Gojo Kumaen comforted him. "Shunichi, since Satoshi didn't bring you along, just stay calm here. If there were any issues, he would've considered them. We just have to wait for his news."
Gojo Shunichi nodded.
The atmosphere gradually fell into silence.
Their anxiety grew stronger with each passing moment.
If it were just about retrieving Minazuki, Satoshi should've returned to the school already.
"Why haven't we heard anything from Jujutsu High yet?" Kumaen frowned.
As one of the Big Three Sorcerer Families, the Gojo clan also possessed equipment to connect to Cursed Corpse live broadcasts.
But there had been no signal so far.
Gojo Kumaen couldn't help but feel a twinge of worry for Satoshi's safety.
Although with Satoshi's strength, his worry seemed unwarranted…
But the thought that Satoshi was carrying four of Sukuna's fingers…
If anyone knew this, it wasn't impossible for them to specifically target him.
Gojo Shunichi shook his head helplessly. "Still no news from the school."
Kumaen exhaled. "Wait a little longer."
He understood that launching a large-scale broadcast through a Cursed Corpse did take some time to prepare.
"Shunichi, report to me the moment anything comes through."
As soon as he said that, Kumaen stood up.
But at that moment.
The Cursed Corpse transmitter in Shunichi's hand lit up. A screen slowly activated and began projecting footage from within the school library.
The angle was odd, as if it were secretly filmed. The lighting in the library was already dim, and combined with the low resolution, it gave off the feel of a pirated movie.
Gojo Kumaen paused. He looked up at the screen showing the upper levels of the Treasury. Satoshi and Satoru appeared on screen.
His breathing quickened slightly. "It's finally on!"
Seeing that Satoshi wasn't alone and that the school's other top members were with him, both Kumaen and Shunichi felt a wave of relief.
As the strongest Six Eyes sorcerer in the Gojo family's history, Satoru's Cursed Energy reserves were undoubtedly immense.
And although Suguru's fighting style relied heavily on cursed spirit manipulation, his Cursed Energy was easily on par with a top-tier sorcerer.
Maybe they really have a chance after all.
Gojo Kumaen exhaled deeply at the thought.
…
At the same time, the Zenin and Kamo families also received the Cursed Corpse live broadcast signal.
Zenin Estate, Main Hall.
As soon as the broadcast began, the scene of Jujutsu High's Treasury appeared on the screen.
Soon, they caught sight of Satoshi.
Zenin Shinsuke smirked. "Didn't expect Gojo Satoshi to actually try and destroy Sukuna's fingers. He's really overestimating himself…"
Beside him, Zenin Naobito sighed.
He glanced at Shinsuke and chuckled. "If you get those fingers back, maybe your stagnated technique might finally evolve."
Shinsuke's expression instantly darkened.
If it weren't for Satoshi, he might've already reached Grade 1 or even Special Grade.
Now that Naobito had brought it up again, he naturally felt irritated.
Shinsuke scowled. "Thanks to the Gojo family, we've had to cozy up with the Kamo clan."
"Now that Satoshi can't use Sukuna's fingers to repair his Zanpakutō, his strength is probably only one-tenth or twelfth of what it was."
"When I recover my power, I'll make him pay the price!"
Every time the name Gojo Satoshi came up, Zenin Shinsuke felt like losing it.
Naobito waved a hand. "Forget it. Let's just watch."
Though Shinsuke looked annoyed, his gaze was still fixed on the screen.
…
Meanwhile, in the Kamo family estate.
Kamo Shinji leaned back in his wooden chair, propping his head on one hand as he watched the live feed with interest.
Looking at Satoshi's figure on the screen, he muttered, "I thought he was just buying time, but I didn't expect him to actually attempt destroying Sukuna's fingers."
Shinji narrowed his eyes.
"What is he thinking?"
He couldn't help but grow more curious about Satoshi's intentions.
…
Compared to the Big Three Sorcerer Families, the many smaller clans didn't know much about Satoshi's actions.
Many didn't even know that he had been collecting Sukuna's fingers, let alone that he planned to destroy them.
But to their surprise, the Jujutsu High broadcast they had subscribed to suddenly lit up with a signal.
Families like the Yagyū and Ieiri clans had supported the Live Curse Corpse project back when Yaga Masamichi developed it, but due to limited progress, they had shelved it.
It was only brought back out during Satoshi and Satoru's entrance test.
They had assumed that once the Gojo twins completed that mission, the device would be shelved again. Yet now, the signal had unexpectedly returned.
Yagyū Yusuke and Ieiri Inamichi stared at the screen from the Cursed Corpse with strange expressions. The video quality was so poor it made them frown.
"What the hell is this? Did that guy Yaga Masamichi not even finish developing this properly? He scammed us out of our money and won't even offer support?" Yusuke grumbled.
Although he was the head of the Yagyū family, Yagyū Saemon and Hidetsugu hadn't told him much about the Gojo clan or Satoshi.
They had done so to protect the clan.
After all, the two of them were deeply involved with the Gojo family. But at the very least, they wanted to keep a spark alive in the Yagyū bloodline.
Even though Yusuke's talent wasn't as great as theirs, he could still steer the clan's future.
If the Gojo family was ever suppressed by the Zenin and Kamo clans, Yagyū Yusuke could still lead the family in a new direction.
Because of that, Yusuke paid close attention to the suddenly revived Cursed Corpse broadcast.
"Wait, Saemon's in the picture too? Where is this? Is this the Treasury at Jujutsu High?"
"There are the two Six Eyes heirs from the Gojo family. Looks like something big is about to happen…"
Yagyū Yusuke's eyes gleamed with interest.
He hadn't been present during Satoshi's entrance purification mission. But now, this unexpected live stream was giving him a clear look at the boy he had invested in after nine long years.
After all, in order to provide him with the Zanpakutō Nejibana, he had given up the Yagyū clan's treasured Tsuki no Sho without hesitation.
So now, what was Gojo Satoshi planning to do in this broadcast?
Yagyū Yusuke locked eyes on the screen, following Satoshi's every move.
