Chapter 270: Changeability

The Kamo Family

Kamo Shinji held his child and muttered to himself.

"Noritoshi, the future of the Kamo family rests on you. If Gojo Satoshi can do this, then I believe you can too."

At this moment, he had already begun shifting focus away from current events, turning his full attention toward cultivating the next generation.

Those of the same generation as Gojo Kumaen and Zenin Naobito had already been swept aside by the tide of time. They could only begin to yield to the rise of a new era.

...

The Yagyū Family

Yagyū Yusuke sat drinking alone, satisfied with his past decision now that Gojo Satoshi had awakened.

Sometimes, a single decision could shape the fate of an entire family.

If not for Nejibana, the Yagyū family wouldn't have been able to firmly align themselves with the Gojo clan.

Without Nejibana, they would've remained among the countless minor spellcasting families, unable to rise to a position of influence within the Jujutsu Headquarters.

"In the future, Hidetsugu is the one most suited to become the head of the Yagyū family."

Yagyū Yusuke mumbled to himself.

Although Yagyū Saemon, who wielded the Zanpakutō Satoru, was indeed more powerful in terms of combat strength, Hidetsugu's vision and judgment far surpassed Saemon's.

Yusuke believed Hidetsugu had what it took to guide the entire Yagyū family down the correct path.

Ieiri Household

Ieiri Inamichi watched the scene of Gojo Satoshi destroying Sukuna's fingers with pride and excitement surging in his heart.

He had already been astonished when Shoko had managed to damage Sukuna's fingers.

Now, seeing Satoshi achieve what no one before him could, he felt nothing but pride.

The only thing weighing on his mind now was the quiet rivalry between his daughter and Yuki.

Nine years ago, he had already sensed that this girl named Yuki was a threat. But he hadn't expected that, nine years later, she would become the only Special Grade sorcerer in the world.

When it came to strength, there was no debate. Especially since Yuki had once served as a Star Plasma Vessel.

Ieiri Inamichi frowned slightly. Still, he knew Gojo Satoshi wasn't the kind of man who only cared about power...

Shoko's Reverse Cursed Technique was undoubtedly a major asset as well.

Shoko, you've got this.

...

Nanami Kento looked at the silent footage, desire flickering in his eyes.

If possible, could he obtain a Zanpakutō?

He didn't expect to wield one like Sode no Shirayuki or Ryūjin Jakka. He just wanted a regular Zanpakutō.

They were simply too cool. He couldn't resist the appeal.

Besides, he had confidence in his own strength. If he had a Zanpakutō, his power would undoubtedly reach the level of a Special Grade sorcerer.

Right then, Nanami Kento made up his mind. He would join Tokyo Jujutsu High School. He had to become Gojo Satoshi's classmate. That was his only chance to obtain a Zanpakutō.

...

Tombs of the Star

Inside the Tombs of the Star, Tengen wore a gentle smile, though a trace of melancholy lingered in her expression.

With a long life came deep memories. Every person and event she had encountered remained etched in her mind.

From the founder of the Three Great Sorcerer Families, Sugawara no Michizane, to Kenjaku, she remembered them all.

Ryoumen Sukuna was no exception, a long-standing rival.

Now, his indestructible cursed remains had been completely destroyed by Gojo Satoshi. It stirred a strange feeling in her heart.

Will I, who am immortal, be slain one day by Gojo Satoshi as well?

Tengen lightly brushed the Urozakuro in her hand and murmured softly. There was no real fear in her tone, only a faint trace of relief.

If it truly came to that end... maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing.

Tengen stretched, a playful smile forming on her lips.

"Gojo Satoshi, if your Zanpakutō, Urozakuro, really proves to be useless, then I hope you'll end me before I lose self-awareness and reach my next stage of evolution."

"You made the choice to back Yuki. That alone made me lose interest in assimilating the Star Plasma Vessel. Naturally, you must bear the consequences of my failed assimilation."

The reflection in the blade of Urozakuro mirrored Tengen's delicate, beautiful face. She didn't know it, but even she cherished her own beauty.

And she wasn't sure if she would retain it after entering her evolved form. If not, she sincerely hoped she wouldn't turn into something grotesque.

But, perhaps by then, the standards of beauty will have changed?

Tengen chuckled to herself and stopped dwelling on such trivial matters.

Now that Gojo Satoshi has awakened, I want to see how long it takes for you to return to the Tombs of the Star. The bad temper of Urozakuro must be your fault as the forger.

Still, we need to consider new candidates for the next Star Plasma Vessel. We can't place all our hopes on Gojo Satoshi.

Tokyo Jujutsu High – Underground Treasury

Inside the sealed archive, Sekiguchi Seiji and Yaga Masamichi had already recognized the uniqueness of Gojo Satoshi.

In their eyes, Gojo Satoshi and the others existed in entirely different categories.

There was a time when they believed Gojo Satoru was the future of Tokyo Jujutsu High.

Now, before Gojo Satoshi, even Satoru seemed to be on a lower tier. As for Suguru, Shoko, and the others, their importance had diminished even more.
