Six years ter.

  "Satoshi, want to go out and py?"

  A boy with white hair, white eyeshes, and striking blue eyes stared curiously at his younger brother, w what was always on his mind.

  Despite the elders in the warning him that Satoshi would hold him back, advising him to keep his distance, Satoru had his own thoughts oter.

  He couldn't quite expin it, but he felt a unique e to this twin brother of his, one who looked exactly like him yet stood apart in so many ways.

  Satoshi cked Cursed Energy and bore the burden of Heavenly Restri, but that didn't stop Satoru from g for him.

  "Satoru, are you sure the Patriarch will let you go out? There's a massive bounty on both of us on the dark web."

  "If you sneak out, you could bring trouble to the family."

  Satoshi g his older brother, long used to Satoru's uable nature.

  Gojo Satoru and Gojo Satoshi—the twin heirs of the Gojo —had bounties of 100 million yen pced on their heads.

  The reward was tempting enough to lure in reckless sorcerers who overestimated their abilities.

  Of course, low-level sorcerers had no ce of breag the Gojo 's security.

  And the truly powerful ones knew better.

  The Six Eyes were the Gojo 's most prized legacy, and they would spare no effort in defending their future.

  Even if an assassin mao nd a hit, they wouldn't survive the 's iable retaliation.

  As a result, assassination attempts had dwindled over the years.

  But now, Satoru, always uable was eager to shake off the 's prote and roam freely.

  After all, the two of them possessed the Six Eyes!

  Though Satoshi's Six Eyes weren't as refined as Satoru's, they still granted him a 360-degree field of vision.

  If they were together, no attacker could approanoticed.

  "Satoru, you've pretty much mastered the Limitless Teique by now."

  "You're pnning to show off, aren't you? You want to ighe assassiirely or worse, seek them out just for fun."

  Satoshi's tone was exasperated.

  Satoru might be a prodigy, but at the end of the day, he was still a kid.

  And kids loved to show off.

  Satoshi, oher hand, had no such desire.

  Especially if it meant putting himself in unnecessary danger.

  But five mier…

  Satoru leapt over the estate wall, Satoshi slung over his shoulder.

  Satoshi's face was bnk with despair.

  Gojo Satoru, you absolute bastard.

  Do you even uand the cept of restraint? One day, yoing tret being this reckless.

  If you keep treating me like this, don't expect me to cover for you when things go south. I'll just stand by and watch you get sliced in half like a Kit Kat!

  And seriously, carrying me like this? Where's my dignity? If I had Cursed Energy, or if my Heavenly Restri had fully developed, you'd be the oruggling right now!"

  Satoshi let out a silent sigh, direg his frustration at the system.

  It had been six years.

  And still, his Zanpakutō hadn't activated.

  The so-called Zanpakutō F Fun had been dormant sihe day it appeared.

  If not for the system responding every now and then, Satoshi would've assumed he had gotten a defective one.

  As he grew, the Heavenly Restri began enhang his physical abilities, but the [Shinigami Fusion System] remaiagnant.

  If not for the fact that it had saved his life when he was born, Satoshi would've given up on it entirely.

  He knew how the Jujutsu Kaisen world would unfold.

  He possessed Heavenly Restri and no Cursed Energy but so did Zenin Toji.

  If he dedicated himself to training, he could very well bee another unstoppable force.

  Maybe even… rival Satoru.

  But for now?

  Right now, the Limitless Teique ehat Satoru could still pletely overpower him.

  Satoshi, thrown unceremoniously to the ground by Satred at his brother with rese.

  Satoru stood coolly beside him, pletely unfazed, while Satoshi was left sprawled on the ground. It was a ridiculous sight, ohat was far from dignified.

  And so, the twin heirs of the Gojo left the family estate alone.

  "Satoshi, don't worry about not having Cursed Energy! I'll figure something out whe back. It's just Cursed Energy and Teiques, I'll find a way for you to bee a sorcerer. Trust me, brother."

  At this point, Satoru still didn't fully uand Heavenly Restri or its implications.

  All he knew was that he felt guilty.

  The Six Eyes were not ordinary. Those who ied them were born with heightened awareness and an exceptional memory.

  That meant Satoru remembered.

  He remembered what had happened in the womb.

  And he kly why Satoshi had no Cursed Energy.

  Satoshi wasn't supposed to be powerless.

  Before birth, his Cursed Energy had been just as strong as Satoru's.

  But due to an untrolble instinct, Satoru had absorbed all of it, leaving Satoshi pletely devoid of Cursed Energy.

  Iire world of sorcery, nearly everyone possessed Cursed Energy to some degree.

  For someone like Satoshi, who couldn't se at all, it was almost unheard of.

  And without Cursed Energy, he couldn't use the Gojo 's signature ability, the Limitless Teique.

  If Cursed Energy was electricity, then sorcerers were electrical appliances, each funing uniquely when powered.

  For an easier parison, if Cursed Energy was like chakra in Naruto, then Jujutsu Teiques were like ninjutsu.

  But unlike ninjutsu, Jujutsu Teiques weren't something one could learn. They were innate abilities, ied from birth.

  Satoru khis.

  And because of it, he had always felt guilty.

  Satoshi should have had the same potential as him.

  But because of what he had done, Satoshi had been dehat future.

  That was why, despite the elders repeatedly warning him to stay away, Gojo Satoru never abandoned his brother.

  He refused to.

  "Satoru, you're overthinking it."

  Satoshi gave a small smile.

  In truth, he felt nothing but relief.

  Because of what happened in the womb, he had gained Heavenly Restri.

  And he knew, if that i had never happened, if they had both been born as sorcerers.

  They might have ended up like Zenin Maki and Zenin Mai.

  Two siblings, each with potential, yet uo fully unlock it.

  But now?

  His path… was different.

  And that, to him, was a blessing.
