Time flew by. While Kenjaku quietly built up strength, life was not merely peaceful-it could even be called leisurely.
To snatch up Sukuna's Fingers scattered in the outside world, the thousand-year-old curse user Kenjaku transformed into Jujutsu Society's model hardworking jujutsu sorcerer. Many sorcerers arrived at their mission destinations only to discover that their target cursed spirits had already been exorcised.
How could Chinatsu possibly not know the purpose behind Kenjaku's actions? She simply had no intention of competing with Kenjaku for Sukuna's Fingers.
Sukuna and Kenjaku were powerful enemies she would almost inevitably face in the future. Chinatsu had once tried competing for Sukuna's Fingers herself, but after defeating more than a hundred cursed spirits in succession, she had not obtained a single finger.
Eight years passed in the blink of an eye.
In the end, Chinatsu could not outlast the clan elders' relentless wheedling. She ultimately became the Gojo Clan's next clan head.
Not only was she the Gojo Clan's first female clan head, she was also the first among Jujutsu Society's Three Great Families.
Chinatsu still felt somewhat resigned about this, though she often comforted herself with the thought, I can treat running the clan as preparation for running Jujutsu Society before long.
But whenever the subject came up and Satoru Gojo snickered beside her, Chinatsu could never resist punching him in the head to vent her frustration.
