The Zenin Family's Two Brothers

After Shinsuke Zenin's explanation, Toji remained expressionless, feeling much more at ease.

If it was because of their mother, he could understand.

However, it did bother him a little that she had forgotten about him, her younger brother, just because of their mother.

"She left a letter for you. It's with me. Come get it if you want to see it," Toji said.

"No need. You keep it. It's probably just useless words anyway."

Shinsuke Zenin waved his hand.

So much time had passed; he didn't want to bring these things up again.

Knowing his mother, it was likely just more apologies. It wasn't her fault, so why apologize? The world was the one at fault.

"What are your plans now?" Toji stared at Shinsuke Zenin.

"Of course, to eat... cough cough, find a job first."

Shinsuke Zenin almost blurted out his true thoughts.

But thinking that his younger brother already had a family and children, it wouldn't look good if he, the older brother, was still idle and mooching off others.

"Since you're back, don't leave. Come work as a Sorcerer Killer with me?"

Toji extended an invitation. Given their unique circumstances as brothers, being killers was the only suitable path. They couldn't possibly exorcise curses like other sorcerers.

"No thanks. I'm not interested in being a killer."

Shinsuke Zenin shook his head and flatly refused.

He already had his own plans.

His main goal now was to quickly increase his strength.

The future of the Jujutsu World wouldn't be peaceful, and his current strength wasn't enough to protect those around him.

Thinking about his nephew's future experiences, shouldn't he, as his uncle, support him?

If Sukuna dared to lay a hand on his family, he'd kick him to the curb.

Of course, besides improving his strength, earning money to support himself was also important.

Besides mooching, what other ways were there to make money quickly...

"I advise you not to be a Sorcerer Killer either. Just go home, live your life, and raise your children. Don't waste your time on these useless things."

Shinsuke Zenin lectured Toji.

Neglecting his children and constantly fooling around outside – what kind of behavior was that?

"Mind your own business. I'm leaving. Don't bother me if you have nothing important to say."

Toji got up and left, too lazy to listen to Shinsuke's nagging. He was like an old woman, always so annoying.

Though he seemed indifferent, the corners of his mouth slowly curved upwards.

His older brother, who had been gone for so long, suddenly returning lessened his sense of loneliness.

Seeing Toji leave with his words contradicting his true feelings, Shinsuke Zenin shook his head. "Remember to bring me to meet my nephew and niece tomorrow."

Hearing this, Toji froze, his mouth twitched, and he immediately pushed the door open and left, pretending he hadn't heard.

"This kid..."

While the Zenin brothers were resolving their misunderstandings, Jujutsu High was in an uproar.

Satoru Gojo and Geto Suguru, both quasi-special grade sorcerers, had defied the higher-ups' orders and sent the Star Plasma Vessel, Riko Amanai, back.

This action had severely impacted the safety of the Jujutsu World.

After all, if Tengen did not assimilate with the Star Plasma Vessel, his body would evolve to a higher level. At that point, Tengen might lose consciousness and even turn against humanity.

An evolved Tengen would become closer to the Cursed Spirit side.

While the higher-ups were contemplating how to deal with the mess Satoru Gojo and Geto Suguru had caused, Tengen spoke.

Instead of opposing Satoru Gojo and Geto Suguru as expected, Tengen told them not to worry.

It was fine if Riko Amanai didn't want to assimilate with him; he could still control himself for now and there was no need to rush.

"Gojo, it seems Tengen is quite kind. He's not blaming us."

Inside Jujutsu High, Geto Suguru and Satoru Gojo were talking in a spacious indoor basketball court.

Shoko Ieiri leaned against a nearby door, sucking on a lollipop, with nothing to do.

"Otherwise, why would they be Tengen?"

The perspective of a great being was different. It wouldn't be difficult for them to let a young girl go.

Watching the two of them sweat it out on the court, Masamichi Yaga was furious. If Tengen hadn't let it slide, these two might have been branded as curse users.

"Teacher Yaga, you look a bit unhappy. Did something happen? Tell us so we can be happy too?"

Satoru Gojo, seeing Masamichi Yaga's long face, asked with high emotional intelligence.

"You brat, itching for a beating again?"

Yaga Masamichi put on his teacher's stern demeanor, and Satoru Gojo immediately shrunk his head.

He knew, of course, that because of what he and Geto had done, their teacher Yaga must have been thoroughly chewed out by the higher-ups.

"Don't be angry. The higher-ups can't do anything to us because of our strength," Satoru Gojo said by way of comfort.

With the Six Eyes and Limitless, he was already powerful enough to defy the heavens. This time, he had even awakened Reverse Cursed Technique and the rarely known Void Style of the Gojo Family.

He was confident that his current strength was enough to make the higher-ups back down.

Indeed, the higher-ups hadn't really troubled them, only spouting some empty threats without taking any actual action.

"Yes, yes, yes, you're the most powerful."

Yaga couldn't be bothered to argue with Gojo.

One day, the brat would understand that some things couldn't be solved with strength alone.

"Gojo, the people who tried to assassinate you this time have been identified," Shoko Ieiri interrupted their conversation.

When Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto had returned Riko Amanai, she had asked Mimiko to investigate the assassin's information.

The Zenin brothers hadn't hidden their identities, and they were easily found out, down to their underwear.

"The culprits are from the Zenin Family. They are natural-born non-cursed energy users."

"The older brother, Shinsuke Zenin, brutally murdered dozens of people in the Zenin Family eight years ago and went abroad. He seems to have just returned. The younger brother, Toji, has married into the Fushiguro Family, changed his name to Toji Fushiguro, and is a Sorcerer Killer."

Upon hearing this, Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto stopped what they were doing.

"The Zenin Family?"

"No cursed energy? How is that possible?"

Suguru Geto could hardly believe it. How could someone without cursed energy defeat Gojo so easily? Was that even plausible?

"They really have no cursed energy. I'm certain of that," Satoru Gojo confirmed.

He hadn't sensed even a trace of cursed energy from those strange brothers.

"Oh, right, Shoko, what's the story about Shinsuke Zenin massacring the Zenin Family eight years ago?" Satoru Gojo was a bit curious about it.

Shoko Ieiri's eyes were lazy as she casually replied, "The Zenin Family, no cursed energy. Do I need to explain further?"

"I see."

Satoru Gojo rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "As expected, an interesting person."

The first time he met the man, he had seen something different in his eyes.

Now that he thought about it, wasn't that the absolute confidence unique to the strong?

Meanwhile, Shinsuke Zenin, who had no money for a hotel, returned to the courtyard he had lived in before going abroad. It was right next to the Zenin Family's estate.

"It's quite clean, not bad."

Returning home, it wasn't as desolate as he had imagined. Someone must have been cleaning it regularly. Besides that old man Naobito, it was probably his idiot brother who did it.

Tired from the day's events, Shinsuke Zenin fell asleep. Tomorrow, he would meet his nephew and niece, and then consider whether to find a job. He couldn't exactly ask the Zenin Family for money, could he?
