Return of the King!
Akuta grew increasingly excited as he thought about it.
The thought that his challenge was about to be completed made him hum softly.
Miwa looked at Akuta, who was grinning foolishly on the spot, gently nudged Mai, and asked in a low voice:
"Mai, your sister... is she alright?"
At this moment, Maki, who had been suppressed by the Akuta, also recovered from her shock.
Feeling the joy emanating from the Akuta, she couldn't help but speak.
"That's enough! The patriarch just died, can't you be normal for once!"
Akuta coughed lightly, quickly suppressing the smile on his face and trying to put on a sorrowful expression.
"Actually, my smiles are just a protective facade; deep down, I'm also very sad."
Maki squinted. After all, it was her own body, and she was too embarrassed to refute Akuta. She could only speculate in her heart.
You'd better be truly heartbroken!
"Alright!"
Nanami clapped her hands, drawing everyone's attention.
"I know everyone is tired, but now is not the time to rest."
Although Kenjaku has escaped, the crisis in Shibuya is not yet completely over.
There may still be remnants of Transfigured Human and Cursed Spirit outside; we need to clear them out.
He looked around, his gaze sweeping across every face.
"Maki, take the people from Kyoto Jujutsu High and search the surrounding area. Eliminate all the Transfigured Human who are still active."
"Understood."
The Akuta had already returned to Maki's body, and he naturally had no desire to get involved in the troublesome work of dealing with the aftermath.
Maki looked at everyone and immediately gave instructions:
"Momo Nishimiya, you're in charge of surveillance from the air. Report any unusual activity immediately. Kamo, you're in charge of remote support. Miwa and Mai, you'll clean up the ground with me."
Upon hearing this, everyone agreed and began to carry out the plan.
"Nanami- senpai, I'll leave this to you."
Maki nodded to Nanami, then turned and walked towards the outskirts of Shibuya.
Sanlun and Mai exchanged a glance and quickly followed.
Maki walked along, making plans in her mind.
Kenjaku has run away, and the Culling Game has begun; the situation will only become more chaotic from now on.
But before that, she had to settle things with the Zenin Clan.
The will of the Naobito Zenin has been obtained, and Principal Yaga has a backup copy.
Once Yaga returns to the Jujutsu High, this will will have an effect throughout the entire Jujutsu Society.
By then, even if there are opposition within the Zenin Clan, they won't be able to cause any trouble.
"Maki."
Mai's voice came from behind.
Maki stopped and turned to look at her younger sister.
"Are you... really okay?"
Maki knew she wasn't asking about the injuries.
"No problem, I'm determined to be the head of the Zenin Clan."
Mai looked up at her sister's incredibly confident face, still feeling a little hesitant.
"But... even with Naobito Zenin's will, what about Father's side..."
"Father?"
Maki sneered.
Of course she remembered this father who had taken her place.
Ogi Zenin has always dreamed of becoming the head of the family. Now that Naobito Zenin is dead, he probably thinks his chance has come, right?
"It's alright." Maki waved her hand.
"If he objects, just kill him."
He's just a father, isn't he?
It's given!
The man on the tricycle, listening nearby, was terrified and cautiously raised his hand to ask:
"Um... Maki- senpai, shouldn't we deal with the Transfigured Human first?"
With the cooperation of Shibuya and the others, the remaining Transfigured Human and Cursed Spirit in Maki were quickly wiped out.
Meanwhile, during the cleanup, Maki not only encountered Aoi Todo who came to help, but also found Yuji Itadori sleeping soundly in the subway station.
The two sisters, Kagura and Katsura, wanted to Sukuna Yuji Itadori feeding him Sukuna's fingers.
They simply don't have enough fingers to do that!
The two sisters had no choice but to abandon the Yuji Itadori and retreat after noticing the people from the Jujutsu High approaching.
After Yuji Itadori was woken up, the matter in Shibuya was basically over.
Nanami and Kusakabe returned to the Jujutsu High with their respective groups; they still needed to discuss the matter of the Culling Game.
Before they could discuss the matter, Akuta had another important thing to do.
He was to return to the Zenin Clan and inherit his position as head of the Zenin Clan.
Zenin Clan.
Naoya Zenin strolled leisurely along this corridor of ancient civilization, his face beaming with uncontainable joy.
Behind him, Maki's mother was taking small, quick steps and speaking cautiously in a low voice.
"Naoya, the meeting is about to begin. Lord Ogi and Lord Jinichi have already arrived..."
Naoya turn his head, speaking with an indifferent expression.
What's the rush?
His tone was so light and cheerful that he almost hummed a song.
My father is dead.
Naobito Zenin, that old man who had sat in the position of head of the family for decades, finally died.
When the news came back from Shibuya, Naoya almost burst out laughing in his room.
How many years had he waited for this day?
From the day he awakened his Cursed Technique, he knew that the next head of the Zenin Clan would only be Naoya Zenin.
Who are his brothers anyway?
A bunch of useless trash who can't even use Cursed Technique properly!
Who are his uncles anyway?
A bunch of old guys who've been left behind by the times!
Now that the old man is finally dead, who in the Zenin Clan can rival him?
"That's what they say..." The mother wanted to say something more, but Naoya had already pushed open the meeting room door.
Inside the spacious room, two familiar faces were already waiting.
Ogi Zenin and Zenin Shenyi were already seated inside.
Ogi Zenin frowned as soon as he saw Naoya enter.
"Naoya, you're late! This is the meeting to decide the next head of the family. With your abilities, what qualifications do you have to succeed as head of the family!"
I'm sorry.
He spread his hands, his smile unrestrained and arrogant.
"But it doesn't really matter whether I come or not, right? After all, I'm the next head of the Zenin Clan."
Fan's face visibly darkened.
Naoya didn't care at all.
He continued, saying:
"My older brothers are all useless, and my uncles... well, they're no good either."
As he spoke, he pointed to the Ogi Zenin and the Zenin's name with his finger.
Ogi Zenin's sword was drawn directly from his waist and placed against Naoya's neck.
Zenin Jinichi's fist also slammed into the wall next to Naoya.
Despite the danger of death, Naoya remained completely unconcerned.
"I'm telling you, your father just died, can't you even hold back for a moment?"
Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, a question came from outside.
Is everyone here?
As the sound came, the door behind them was pushed open.
Naoya subconsciously turned around, and when he saw the person walking in, the smile on his face froze for a moment.
Kokan, an old man from a Zenin Clan, is said to have the will of the Naobito Zenin in his hands.
But it wasn't Furudate who made Naoya's smile freeze.
Instead, it was three people who followed the old mansion in.
Maki Zenin, Mai Zenin, Megumi Fushiguro.
Naoya's brows furrowed, and his voice immediately betrayed undisguised disgust.
"This is Zenin Clan. What kind of stinking outsider came here begging for the Zenin Clan? Get out of here right now!"
The Ogi Zenin was also stunned.
He never expected his two daughters to suddenly appear.
Especially Maki, the useless person she considered a disgrace, who didn't even have any Cursed Energy.
"Maki! Mai! Who allowed you in! Get out! This is not a place for you!"
Maki didn't speak, but just stared at her father expressionlessly.
Mai instinctively wanted to back away, but after seeing her Maki's motionless back, she forcibly stopped herself.
Megumi Fushiguro looked at the three people in the room, recalling the argument she had just heard, and smiled disdainfully.
Ignoring the atmosphere inside, Gu Guan sat down unhurriedly.
"Young Master Naoya, Lord Shan, Lord Shenyi." Gu Guan's voice was as calm as still water.
"The presence of Ms. Maki, Ms. Mai, and Mr. Fushiguro here is precisely the reason for this meeting."
Naoya's brows furrowed even more.
"What's the meaning?"
Furudaten didn't answer him, but instead took out a cell phone from his sleeve.
All eyes were on the phone.
The old man slowly said:
"Mr. Fushiguro sent me a video before I entered the conference room."
"The content of this video is Naobito Zenin's will, which he personally wrote before his death."
Will!
Those two words made the air in the conference room freeze instantly.
The hand holding the knife trembled slightly.
Could there be a plot twist?
The old man pressed play.
The screen lit up, Naobito Zenin's familiar face appeared before everyone.
A hoarse voice came from the phone's speaker, echoing in the Japanese-style room.
"I am Naobito Zenin, the twenty-sixth head of the Zenin Clan."
"This is my will, with Megumi Fushiguro as witness."
Naoya's eyes were fixed on the screen, his lips pressed into a straight line.
On the screen, Naobito Zenin took a deep breath, his gaze seemingly piercing through the lens, looking directly at everyone in the conference room.
"After my death... the position of the next head of the Zenin Clan will be inherited by Maki Zenin."
