"Oh, right. It's rare to have so many Grade 1 Cursed Spirits. Suguru, don't waste them."
"Hmm? But the requirent for Rank assessnt is to exorcise your own Cursed Spirits."
"It's fine. We can just beat them until they're on their last breath, then give them to you."
"Is that so?"
Suguru heard this and was a bit confused.
Because Satoru had previously said that in the Jujutsu Sorcerer Rank assessnt, only the person being assessed could act.
What if Eichi and the others beat the Cursed Spirits to their last breath and then he absorbed them, only for it to be judged as non-compliant?
"No problem. You agree, right, Satoru?"
Eichi glanced at the Gojo Family Jujutsu Sorcerers and the Assistant Supervisor.
Satoru instantly understood Eichi's aning.
"Daijoubu, daijoubu. It's fine."
He waved his hand at Suguru.
"The Jujutsu Sorcerer Rank assessnt is to test a sorcerer's strength. As long as the strength is sufficient, there's no problem."
"You agree, right?"
Satoru looked at the two Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerers from the Gojo Family next to him.
Eichi also followed Satoru's gaze.
Familiar faces. Weren't these the two bodyguard elders who often drank tea outside his courtyard before?
Under the benevolent gazes of Satoru and Eichi, the two decisively nodded.
They knew the inside story.
This, however, displeased the Kamo Family's Jujutsu Sorcerer.
Kamo Yoshitaka, a sorcerer who used Blood Puppet Manipulation.
Although it could not compare to Blood Manipulation, in an era without a successor to Blood Manipulation, he was already considered one of the Kamo Family's representative figures.
It was estimated that after Kamo Noritoshi awakened Blood Manipulation in a few years, the Kamo Family would be happy for a while.
Though it would not be very useful.
Yoshitaka was the oldest among the four Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerers present.
"Hmph, conducting the Jujutsu Sorcerer Rank assessnt separately is to ensure fairness. What if soone cheats if it's done together?"
After speaking, Yoshitaka looked toward the two Zen'in Family mbers.
With support from the Zen'in Family's Jujutsu Sorcerers, it was not just a 2-on-2 in numbers.
It also represented two of The Big Three Families simultaneously putting pressure on the Gojo Family.
This had been the law of survival for the Kamo and Zen'in Families in the decade since Satoru's birth.
The high bounty on Satoru in the black market might not have been without the push from these two families.
However, the situation this ti was very strange.
Facing Yoshitaka's gaze, the Zen'in Family's Jujutsu Sorcerer actually looked up and started whistling.
Yoshitaka, helpless, could only turn his gaze to Zen'in Shuji.
He knew Shuji's identity. Although his combat strength was low, he had achieved a good position in the Zen'in Family due to excellent support abilities.
Shuji's stance was the sa.
"We are only responsible for Suguru-san's Rank assessnt."
Shuji smiled and nodded at Yoshitaka.
No, is looking at Suguru useful?
The Kamo Family had already prepared for the Cursed Spirits assigned to Suguru to be subjugated by him.
Therefore, the Cursed Spirits assigned to Suguru and Satoru were relatively weak.
The problem now was that they were going to give all those Cursed Spirits to Suguru. Wouldn't this fail to achieve their goal of annoying Satoru's group, and instead beco a painstakingly prepared big gift?
No, absolutely cannot let the other three give all the Cursed Spirits to Suguru. The Rank assessnt must be conducted separately.
"According to the regulations of Jujutsu Headquarters, interfering when soone else is undergoing a Rank assessnt is a violation."
Yoshitaka finished speaking and once again directed his gaze at Shuji.
I have already made my point, hurry up and take it.
"According to the regulations of Jujutsu Headquarters, privately cultivating or utilizing Cursed Spirits also violates the rules, you know."
Eichi smiled as he looked at Yoshitaka.
Impossible, has the matter been exposed?
Only the Kamo and Zen'in Families knew about this. Wait a minute…
Yoshitaka seed to have thought of sothing.
"You actually dare to betray…"
"Betray what?"
The mont the enraged words escaped his mouth, Yoshitaka realized his mistake and quickly stopped.
Eichi, however, pressed on.
"Is the Zen'in Family willing to beco a subordinate of the Gojo Family?"
There was no answer to Eichi's question.
Yoshitaka ignored him and asked Shuji another question.
"You seem to have misunderstood sothing. The Zen'in Family was one of The Big Three Families before, and will always be one of The Big Three Families. It will not beco anyone's subordinate."
Shuji still had a faint smile on his face.
"Then why?"
Yoshitaka finally cald down a bit.
It was good they were not becoming a subordinate of the Gojo Family.
No, how could the Zen'in Family abandon its status as one of The Big Three Families? Was he overthinking in anger?
"No why."
The sudden voice made Yoshitaka's anger flare up again.
We, The Big Three Families, are talking. What right does a brat like you have to interrupt?
Just as Yoshitaka was about to reprimand him, a terrifying killing intent sent a chill down his spine.
"Divine Dog: Totality."
A dark figure erged from the shadow behind Yoshitaka.
Yoshitaka wanted to dodge, but a hand had already grabbed his arm.
"I rember you are an elder of the Kamo Family, right? A pleasure, a pleasure. Let introduce myself, my na is Azuma Eichi, and my technique is Ten Shadows Technique. Nice to et you."
As he spoke, Eichi fumbled in his shadow. Hmm, these are all things he is used to, he does not want to give them away.
"Shuji, get Elder Kamo a bottle of honey tea."
"Yes, Young Master Eichi."
Shuji bowed slightly, then opened the trunk and took out a bottle of honey tea.
"Co, co, Elder Kamo, you have been talking for so long, you must be thirsty. Have so honey tea, honey is good stuff…"
At this mont, Yoshitaka was too shocked by the turn of events to speak.
Did he just say Divine Dogs?
He can use Ten Shadows Technique?
The Zen'in mbers call him Young Master?
The Zen'in Family has Ten Shadows Technique?
Has the Kamo Family been abandoned?
Yoshitaka was sweating profusely.
Because the application for the Rank assessnt was arranged by Satoru, the form reached the Gojo Family's person in charge at Jujutsu Headquarters first.
The Gojo Family did not submit the application directly but planned to approach Eichi and Suguru first, intending to recruit the two into their family before submitting it.
However, Satoru refused.
He did not want his family's reasons to affect his pure friendship with Eichi and Suguru.
The Gojo Family Head's heart was shattered.
However, the Gojo Family Head did not give up and secretly sent people to contact Eichi.
Suguru could be forgone, but they had to find a way to get the Ten Shadows Technique.
Eichi showed enough goodwill but never expressed a stance.
The Family Head's heart completely collapsed.
The only thing worth celebrating was that Eichi clearly stated he would not be an enemy of Satoru.
Finally, the Family Head could only convey so of Eichi's information to the Zen'in Family.
Look, your family's Ten Shadows Technique was found by us, and it was returned to you by us. You must rember this favor and repay it.
As for the Kamo Family?
Actually, the Kamo Family once had soone who knew about Eichi's existence and information, and that was Kenjaku, who occupied the body of a Kamo Family elder.
However, Kenjaku had gone to experience the joy of giving birth in recent years, so currently, no one in the Kamo Family knew Eichi's information.
This ti, the Kamo Family was triple-stabbed by the Gojo Family, the Zen'in Family, and Kenjaku, who often returned to use the Kamo Family and then left.
Yoshitaka did not know how he got into the car.
