Banquet of the Three Great Families

The curse user incident was just a minor episode.

Though Jiro Awasaka and Granny Ogami were supposed to reappear in the Shibuya Incident with plenty of screen time.

Gojo Sawa wasn't worried about their deaths affecting the timeline.

Just two small fries.

The only thing worth noting was that Granny Ogami used her Seance Technique to summon Toji's body—that was a major event.

"That guy Toji Fushiguro..."

Gojo Sawa had a headache.

Personally, he kind of pitied the guy, but unfortunately, Gojo Satoru had a calamity waiting for him.

Of course, if Toji had to pull that stunt for Gojo to awaken his Reverse Cursed Technique, that was another story.

That wasn't a calamity—it was an opportunity.

Gojo Sawa pondered and decided he could consider sparing Toji's life. Just beat him up and call it a day.

Back at the Gojo Clan, Sawa and Gojo were told they'd attend a banquet organized by the Three Great Families in three days.

"Can we skip it?"

Gojo clearly had no interest in these things.

The Gojo Clan elders immediately grew restless.

What did a Three Great Families banquet mean?

It was their one-in-a-lifetime chance for the Gojo Clan to flaunt their Six Eyes Twins in front of the Zenin and Kamo Clans! (Strikethrough)

It was an opportunity for the outstanding youth of the Three Great Families to exchange and learn from each other!

Even though the old geezers really wanted to show off in front of the Zenin and Kamo Clans, neither Sawa nor Gojo was interested.

"You two are the main guests of this banquet. If you're absent, the Zenin and Kamo Clans will think we're arrogant. That would reflect poorly on the Gojo Clan!"

Sawa shot back, "Arrogant? Isn't the Gojo Clan already like that?"

Gojo nodded in agreement beside him.

The Great Elder was instantly choked.

In the jujutsu world, the Three Great Families' arrogance was well-known.

In their eyes, aside from the Three Great Families, sorcerers from other factions were trash, and non-sorcerers were wild monkeys!

Yet, contrary to the clan elders' expectations, the Six Eyes Twins—who should have been the most exalted in their eyes—were surprisingly "down-to-earth," even "lowering their status"!

Seeing that everyone seemed to value this banquet, and out of respect for the elderly, Sawa relented.

"Are there any interesting activities at this banquet?"

The Great Elder quickly introduced, "Yes, yes. The younger generation of the Three Great Families will exchange with each other at the banquet—that is, a sparring match."

"Tch~"

Sawa and Gojo rolled their eyes in unison.

They were supposed to play house with those little brats?

The Great Elder also knew that with their strength, such things were indeed boring, so he continued:

"There will also be an auction at the banquet. The two young masters can bid on whatever catches your fancy. And the final item is a special-grade cursed tool!"

Sawa's ears perked up. "A special-grade cursed tool? What's it called?"

"Playful Cloud!"

Oh ho! That three-section staff!

Gojo Sawa was intrigued. "Sounds good. Let's go take a look!"

Seeing that Sawa was willing to go, Gojo reluctantly agreed.

Three days passed quickly.

Sawa looked at the extended black sedan in front of him, and the servant beside it—lavishly dressed, yet only fit to open the car door for him.

For the first time, he realized the Gojo Clan's obscene wealth.

How to put it... Sitting bolt upright in sickbed, I realize the conglomerate is me?

Sawa and Gojo tiptoed into the car.

The interior space was absurdly large for the two of them, equipped with a built-in TV and a cooler—looked extremely luxurious.

Sawa took a drink from the cooler.

Gulp gulp~

The cool, sweet liquid slid down his throat to his stomach. Sawa let out a satisfied sigh.

Ah! This kind of extravagant lifestyle—loved it, loved it!

Gojo was a bit speechless. "Drinking cold drinks in the middle of winter?"

"The hot blood of youth is surging through my veins!"

"..."

As the two chatted, the car carried them to a five-star hotel in Ginza.

"Welcome!"

Two rows of maids in formal attire bowed in unison, putting on quite a show.

Sawa was a bit surprised. "Isn't this a bit too flashy? Might it cause trouble?"

The Great Elder chuckled. "Rest assured, young master Sawa. This hotel is property of the Three Great Families. Today, it only serves sorcerers—outsiders aren't allowed in!"

Sawa's eyelid twitched.

Fine, he was just out of his depth!

The group took the elevator and soon arrived at the hotel's top floor.

When Sawa and Gojo entered the venue, the scene was already one of clinking glasses and bustling crowds.

Besides the Three Great Families, many affiliated factions and clans had also arrived one by one.

For instance, the Okkotsu Clan, distant relatives of the Gojo Clan, or the Ieiri Clan, famous in the sorcery world for producing the natural Reverse Cursed Technique user, Ieiri Shoko.

But the moment Sawa and Gojo appeared, the noisy venue quickly fell silent.

Then, every sorcerer present turned to scrutinize them.

The Six Eyes Twins!

The birth of Sawa and Gojo had once shaken the entire sorcery world.

In the history of the Gojo Clan, the birth of Six Eyes was already rare, occurring only once every four or five hundred years.

But this time, twin Six Eyes had appeared—an unprecedented event.

Whether curse or blessing, one thing was certain: Sawa and Gojo, the Six Eyes Twins, would become the undisputed protagonists of the sorcery world in the years to come!

Now, facing countless gazes, Sawa and Gojo frowned, quite uncomfortable.

The Great Elder laughed beside them. "Young masters Sawa and Gojo are truly special—wherever you go, you're the center of attention!"

Sawa gave a stiff smile and replied softly, "Center of attention? I feel more like monkeys being gawked at in a zoo."

"Uh..."

The Great Elder's mouth twitched.

Young master Sawa was good in every way, except that mouth of his—it had been sharp since he learned to talk.

Just then, two figures approached Sawa and Gojo, and the crowd parted to make way.

The head of the Zenin Clan, Zenin Naobito.

The head of the Kamo Clan, Kamo Takanobu.

Though both wore smiles, judging by their chilling auras, neither was in a good mood.

It was understandable.

Six years ago, the Gojo Clan had struck gold with the birth of the Six Eyes Twins, securing the future of the Limitless technique.

The Zenin and Kamo Clans had long been twisted with jealousy.

Over these six years, Kamo Takanobu had ordered his clan to increase births, hoping for a child who could inherit Blood Manipulation, but heaven hadn't obliged.

The Zenin Clan was even more aggrieved. In recent decades, not only had they failed to produce a Ten Shadows Technique heir, but they'd also seen the birth of a Heavenly Restriction bearer.

No cursed energy—in the eyes of the Three Great Families, that was a wild monkey.

Especially in the most rigid and backward Zenin Clan, Heavenly Restriction was a downright stain on the family.

Every time he thought of it, Zenin Naobito couldn't sleep from anger.

The Gojo Clan... what right did they have!

"So these are the famous Six Eyes Twins? I am Zenin Naobito, head of the Zenin Clan. Pleased to meet you both!"

Kamo Takanobu also stepped forward to greet them, hiding his jealousy behind a facade. "I am Kamo Takanobu, head of the Kamo Clan! Pleased to meet you two young friends!"

Gojo Satoru was still pondering his response when Gojo Sawa smiled and replied, "Then you two are pleased far too early!"

Zenin Naobito: "..."

Kamo Takanobu: "..."
