If he had a choice, Fushiguro Toji wouldn't want his son to awaken a Cursed Technique and step into the foul Jujutsu World.
But if he did awaken a Cursed Technique, Toji hoped his son would awaken a powerful one, because only then would he have the strength to stand firm in the Jujutsu World in the future.
However, when Fushiguro Toji discovered that his son's awakened Cursed Technique was actually the Zen'in Family's top-tier Cursed Technique, the Ten Shadows Technique, even he, with his strong heart, couldn't help but be stunned.
He hadn't won many bets, but when it came to his son, he had an overwhelming victory... For a moment, he even reached out, wanting to pull out his phone from his pocket and make a call to tell the utterly depressed Zen'in Naobito this news.
But he ultimately didn't do so. Fushiguro Megumi was still young, and it was too early to let him step into the foul, corrupt Jujutsu World.
Hide a hand, play it safe.
A faint smile appeared on Fushiguro Toji's face, because he could already imagine the expression on Zen'in Naobito's face when Fushiguro Megumi, having mastered the Ten Shadows Technique, appeared before him in the future.
Afterward, Fushiguro Toji explained the existence of Jujutsu Sorcerers and Cursed Spirits to Fushiguro Megumi. During this explanation, Tsumiki Fushiguro also overheard the conversation, but Fushiguro Toji didn't mind and simply waved her over to listen.
They were all family living under one roof; it would be difficult to hide it, so it was better to explain everything clearly to avoid misunderstandings in the future.
And when Fushiguro Megumi and Tsumiki Fushiguro heard about the many things in the Jujutsu World, both of their faces showed expressions of shock.
Especially Fushiguro Megumi.
He really wanted to deny his old man's wild tales, but he found he couldn't find a point to refute.
Cursed Spirits, he could see them.
Cursed Techniques, he could vaguely feel them.
Tsumiki Fushiguro didn't doubt her father's words. She raised a hand to cover her mouth and murmured in surprise, "This world actually has such a side to it..."
Amidst her surprise, she blinked her eyes somewhat confusedly, then spoke, asking Fushiguro Toji her curious question.
"So... Papa, what's Papa's status in the Jujutsu World? Papa must be very strong, right?" Tsumiki Fushiguro asked innocently.
This question stumped Fushiguro Toji. He was just about to blurt out the word "assassin," but he held back in the end.
Fushiguro Megumi, 5 years old.
Tsumiki, 6 years old.
That brat was one thing, but Fushiguro Toji really didn't want to engrave the word "assassin" onto his pure and kind daughter, who had no Cursed Technique talent.
After a moment of thought, the figures of Chinatsu and Gojo Satoru appeared in his mind.
He extended both hands and placed them on their heads, gently on one and roughly on the other, rubbing their heads.
"Of course, I'm very powerful. In the entire Jujutsu World, there are definitely no more than a handful of people stronger than me!"
Tsumiki had already learned about the cruelty of the Jujutsu World from Toji before this. Now, knowing that her father was a formidable character and wouldn't be in any mortal danger, a brilliant smile involuntarily appeared on her face.
In contrast, Fushiguro Megumi, who was nearby, heard his old man's confident declaration and couldn't help but show a pair of skeptical, deadpan eyes.
"You're that strong? I thought you were just scraping by, and that long time you didn't come home recently was because you were being chased by enemies..."
Before Fushiguro Megumi could finish his sentence, Fushiguro Toji, with a stern face, delivered a "fist of love" that made his head personally experience his old man's might.
No more than a handful of people stronger than him?
In fact, he was even exaggerating... After realizing his old man's formidable strength, Fushiguro Megumi began his journey of home-based Jujutsu Sorcerer training.
Time flew by, and Chinatsu and the others successfully advanced to their third year at Tokyo Jujutsu High. However, at their level, they were only students in name, and Yaga Masamichi no longer restricted their freedom of movement.
Gojo Satoru was a street wanderer, occasionally going on Jujutsu missions alone, sometimes with Geto Suguru, and sometimes just lying in bed, slacking off for an entire day.
Geto Suguru, when not out on Jujutsu missions, became a martial arts instructor at Jujutsu High. His excellent nunchaku skills captivated many junior students, providing many Jujutsu Sorcerers with excellent martial arts skills for the future Jujutsu World.
Ieiri Shoko spent a lot of time outside of Jujutsu High because she possessed the Reverse Cursed Technique. By her third year at Jujutsu High, she had become a qualified combat medic. Essentially, as long as someone still had a breath left, she could at least save their life, regardless of whether they were crippled.
Among her Classmates, only Chinatsu frequently carried out Jujutsu missions. Although completing these Jujutsu missions didn't significantly improve her strength, Chinatsu's actions weren't solely for increasing her power.
During her Jujutsu missions, she would record aspects that symbolized the corruption and even the dark side of the Jujutsu World, which would serve as the foundation for her future plan to overthrow and reform the Jujutsu World.
During one Jujutsu mission, Chinatsu unexpectedly discovered wisps of Cursed Energy from Cursed Spirits floating above a remote mountain village in the distance.
Preliminary assessment indicated that the Cursed Spirits in this village were not strong, but there were multiple of them, and they were not of the subtle type, but actively causing mischief.
On her way, Chinatsu, through her Rikugan, observed from afar that the Cursed Spirit level in this village was indeed not high. It could be said that once she reached her destination, a punch imbued with Cursed Energy would be enough to exorcise them.
However... when Chinatsu arrived at her destination and saw the scene unfolding in the village, one of the reasons that led to Geto Suguru's mental breakdown in the original work instantly flooded Chinatsu's mind.
She saw two girls dressed in tattered clothes being forcibly dragged forward by tall adults, their wrists clutched. The girls cried, trying to break free from the adults' Binding Vow, but were met with even stronger pulling.
Around this act, many other villagers gathered. They saw this scene but offered no help to the girls, not even a show of pity. There were only curses filled with negative emotions.
"Monsters! Two monsters!!!"
"My grandson was almost killed by you monsters! We can't let this monster continue to harm the innocent people of our village!"
"Just like your parents, you're born monsters! We should have killed you when you were babies!"
Listening to these curses and the girls' cries, Chinatsu couldn't help but experience the emotions that surged within Geto Suguru when he had his mental breakdown.
"This is truly... awful."
