🎊🎊HRU: Chapter 377/380

Chapter 377: Your Grave

Although Suguru did not know what the standard for being strange was, he still brought something this time. It was a stone he obtained while performing a mission before coming here. Once he touched this stone, his five senses would be disrupted. He did not know what it was for.

In his opinion, this might be more in line with the strange and bizarre standard Satoru mentioned.

However, he could not tell whether Satoshi would like it or not, so he could only give it a try.

Today he and Satoru were called over, and he happened to bring this stone with him.

"Satoru, Suguru, you're here. I asked you to come today because I want to entrust you with protection."

Although Satoru and Suguru are not permanent staff members of the Yorozuya, they often carry out tasks at the technical college to earn points in the hope of becoming Special Grade sorcerers as soon as possible.

However, the two are actually non-staff members of the Yorozuya, and his goal this time is to let these two carry out the Zenin commission.

When they saw Satoru and Suguru arrive, Toji and the others had some ideas in mind. Now, hearing Satoshi say this, how could they not know who he had chosen to carry out the protection mission.

Jogo curled his lips. Satoru and Suguru were indeed strong, but he still thought that he was more suitable. However, since Satoshi had made his choice, he would not argue.

"A commission? A commission from the Yorozuya?"

Satoru suddenly looked bitter.

"Satoshi, the tasks at the technical college have started to line up. In this case, Suguru and I may have to carry out tasks separately. We will have no time to do any protection commissions."

When Satoru heard about a protection commission, he had no interest in it. This kind of thing was time-consuming and laborious, and he did not know how long it would take to complete.

And he wanted to carry out a protection commission together with Suguru? Who would qualify for that?

Satoshi shrugged. The Zenin family probably did not want the college to get involved. Otherwise, if they told Jujutsu High about Riko directly like in the original story, Yaga Masamichi would probably arrange for Satoru and Kagome Tomo to protect her.

However, since he was ready to accept the commission, he would not hand it over.

This was his chance to explore the Zenin family's Treasury again after nine years. His current Tenshintai had reached a bottleneck. Maybe there would be something in the Treasury that could inspire him.

"This time it is the protection of the Star Plasma Vessel. Since Tengen concealed it from me before, she certainly would not want me to get involved personally. So, do you accept this commission?"

Satoshi's words immediately made Satoru fall into silence.

During these nine years, Satoru was the person who went in and out of the Tombs of the Star the most. Under such circumstances, Satoshi knew Satoru would not leave Tengen alone.

Tengen is not only the key to the entire Jujutsu world, she also has a very good relationship with Satoru.

Satoshi knew that Satoru did not believe that Tengen could master Bankai. As one of the only two people who had mastered a Zanpakutō's Bankai, he knew how difficult it was.

According to Satoshi, as long as Tengen could successfully perform Urozakuro Bankai, she would be able to maintain her original consciousness without having to merge with the Star Plasma Vessel.

However, nine years had passed, and Tengen still had no way to complete her Zanpakutō's Bankai, and she could not even reach Shikai.

In this case, could she complete her Zanpakutō's Shikai and Bankai before she could no longer bear it?

Satoru felt that this was too difficult.

He believed that if Tengen had not been forced, she would not have secretly handed the Star Plasma Vessel to the Zenin family, the enemy of the Gojo family, without Satoshi's help.

Satoshi felt Satoru's inner struggle, and he smiled. "Satoru, you don't have to worry about being caught between me and Tengen."

"As for your tasks at Jujutsu High, I will let Jogo and Yuto help you and Suguru complete them. You can temporarily treat this as a vacation."

Hearing that Satoshi had already made arrangements, Satoru immediately relaxed.

Given the level of Jogo and Yuto, it was more than enough to complete tasks on their behalf.

"That's great. Suguru and I can finally take a break with this mission."

Satoru stretched. After such a high-intensity stretch of missions, even though he possessed Six Eyes, he felt a little tired from the bottom of his heart.

When Suguru saw that Satoru agreed, he naturally would not refuse.

In his mind, if it was not absolutely necessary, it would be better for this famous duo in the Jujutsu world not to be separated.

"Satoshi, I will also complete this commission well."

Satoshi was very satisfied with Suguru's attitude, but he felt that something bad would always happen given Satoru's personality.

Satoshi naturally knew that Satoru was in a very strong state at the moment. However, if he could really deal with it so easily, then the things that happened in the original work might not necessarily happen.

Although Toji already belonged to their camp, this time, Choso and Uraume appeared more than ten years in advance.

"Well, Satoru, if you die in this protection mission, I will go to your grave and toast you."

Satoshi made a casual joke, and Satoru's expression suddenly fell.

"Huh? You're still visiting my grave and toasting me? Satoshi, what are you talking about?"

It was not like he did not go to Kamo's house to rescue them today. He was already working overtime despite his tired body, and now he was being mocked by his own brother.

Moreover, for Satoru, he did not think the Curse User who attacked the Kamo family was very strong.

When he arrived, they were already scared away by his name. How powerful could such a Curse User be? The Kamo family was in such a mess, and it was undoubtedly their own problem.

Although they are all Big Three Sorcerer Families, Satoru and Toji actually do not think too highly of the Kamo family in their hearts.

How long has it been since Blood Manipulation appeared?

The Zenin family at least has the Heavenly Restriction and Jujutsu practitioner, and has gained some fame, but what about the Kamo family?

The last time the Kamo family was famous was a hundred years ago when Kamo Kenshin was the most evil sorcerer, right?

Chapter 378: The Same Guy From Nine Years Ago

Hearing this, Suguru looked at Satoru and Satoshi. He had also heard about the attacks on the Zenin and Kamo families this morning, but he did not know what role Satoru played in that action.

Satoru casually mentioned that he did not even see the Curse User who attacked the Kamo estate, which put Suguru and Satoru in the same mindset. He also felt that the attacker was not strong.

However, compared to him, who possesses Cursed Spirit Manipulation, and Satoru, who possesses the Limitless Technique, the Kamo family is indeed nothing.

Toji raised his eyebrows and smiled playfully.

He did not think the one who attacked the Kamo family would be weaker than Uraume. Since Uraume could master a Domain Expansion, Toji felt there was a strong possibility the person who attacked the Kamo family could also use a Domain Expansion.

Even if he was not as strong as Uraume, he was almost at the same level.

If Satoru was really so casual, what Satoshi just said might really happen.

Under Six Eyes, everything that happens in the Yorozuya cannot escape Satoru's observation.

Realizing Toji's chuckle, Satoru immediately felt that something was wrong.

"Toji, what are you laughing at? Is there something wrong with what I said? I remember you were supporting the Zenin family, right? Did something happen that I don't know about?"

Although Satoru is casual, he is not arrogant.

After hearing what Satoshi said and seeing Toji laugh, he felt a little strange.

"Yeah, nothing. The attacker at the Zenin family also escaped in the end."

Toji raised his eyebrows, but the next sentence left Satoru completely stunned.

"Well, it was just a Curse User with a Domain Expansion, nothing big. I believe the two of you will be fine together. You are the most sought-after and best partners in the entire Jujutsu world."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Toji's words.

Jogo and Yuto also had smiles on their faces. Although Satoru was powerful, he was not so powerful that he could ignore a Domain Expansion.

Now, looking at the changes in Satoru and Suguru's expressions, Jogo suddenly felt much happier.

"A Domain Expansion?"

Satoru subconsciously widened his eyes, and the round sunglasses on his nose were about to slide down.

He was a little unconvinced. After all, there were only a handful of people who possessed Domain Expansion in the Jujutsu world. However, he also felt that Toji would not deceive him on such a matter.

"Satoshi, does that person really have a Domain? Are Satoru and I going to deal with such an opponent?"

Suguru turned his head and looked at Satoshi with a serious expression.

He knew he was very strong, but he was not invincible. Now he understood why Toji had not succeeded in defeating the Curse User this time.

It turned out to be someone with a Domain Expansion.

Satoshi nodded. "Yes, Suguru, this protection commission is not easy. That is why I chose to let you and Satoru go together to protect her."

"After all, Jogo and Yuto are not very effective in protection."

"As for Toji, he is more suitable for assassination rather than protection."

Satoshi had his own thoughts. It was not out of respect for the original storyline. In fact, Satoru, who possesses the Limitless Technique, and Suguru, who possesses Cursed Spirit Manipulation, are the most suitable people to protect Riko.

Moreover, they are of similar age, so Satoru could also handle some personal matters through this.

If not for mission commissions, Satoru might not have a chance to interact with anyone for an entire year.

Up to now, the people Satoru had the most contact with were Yuki and Shoko.

However, those two were impossible for Satoru.

Therefore, Riko, who originally became a regret for Satoru in the plot, seemed like a suitable person for him to connect with.

Of course, the most important thing is that Satoru, who has already mastered Bankai, should be strong enough to deal with the attackers.

However, Satoru and Suguru must take this seriously.

Seeing Satoru looking at him, Satoshi said very seriously, "Satoru, I can tell you clearly that both Curse Users this time have Domain Expansions. So, if you are not careful enough, I may really have to visit your grave."

Satoru curled his lips. "It is just a Domain. I still have Senbonzakura. Even if I do not use a Domain, with Senbonzakura's Bankai, I can break it."

After all, he had never personally dealt with a Domain user, and Satoru still had a trace of unwillingness in his heart.

Satoshi smiled. "The Limitless Technique is very powerful, and Senbonzakura's Bankai is also very powerful, so I believe in your strength. But you must know that the commission you accepted this time is a protection commission, not a destroy-everything commission.

Protection is much more difficult than destruction, understand, Satoru?"

Suguru nodded thoughtfully. He knew Satoshi was speaking to both of them.

However, Satoru was still somewhat unconvinced.

"I know. Senbonzakura's defensive ability is also very strong. As long as I take them out before they open their Domain, it will be fine."

Satoru was confident in his own strength. Even if his opponent also possessed Blood Manipulation from the Big Three Sorcerer Families, he felt that he would not lose.

However, how to protect the Star Plasma Vessel was a problem.

Forget it, let Suguru be responsible for protecting Riko later. As soon as those two show up, I will deal with them together.

Rather than saying Satoru was arrogant at this time, after he obtained Senbonzakura Kageyoshi, his strength was already at the pinnacle of the Jujutsu world.

Satoshi felt Satoru's inner stubbornness and sighed inwardly. Under such circumstances, he could not let Satoru make the same mistake again.

"Satoru, the Curse Users this time are with the same group as the one who attacked me nine years ago. So..."

When Satoshi's voice sounded, Toji and Satoru's faces suddenly changed as they realized something.

(To be continued.)

Chapter 379: The Trio Gathers

It turns out to be that person's accomplice.

Toji had never imagined the two could be related.

If that was the case, he would definitely have been more serious in the previous battle, striving to capture the ice Curse User.

At this moment, all the resentment in Satoru's heart disappeared.

He could never forget how powerless Satoshi had been in front of that Curse User. Under that Domain Expansion, even if all the strong in the Jujutsu world had gathered, they could not take a single step into that created domain.

During these nine years, the Gojo family had never given up searching for that Curse User.

Unexpectedly, this attack was actually related to that person.

This meant that if that person really took action this time, they might have to face three Curse Users with Domain Expansion.

Satoru had already begun to take this commission seriously.

He did not know whether that person would show up, but if he really came, he would definitely not just watch from the sidelines like nine years ago. His strength was no longer as weak as before.

Feeling Satoru's change in attitude, Satoshi's lips curled.

"Satoru, take this opportunity seriously. Hasn't your Limitless Technique still been unable to break through? If you don't have enough pressure, it may take a long time to comprehend Hollow Technique: Purple."

"However, this time, I think you can successfully complete Riko's protection commission, and you are not far from comprehending Hollow Purple. I even think you may be able to comprehend your own Domain Expansion through fighting these two."

Satoshi's words made everyone look over. They had not expected him to have such a purpose in this arrangement.

Satoru nodded, indicating he accepted the commission.

"Satoru, when we get back, I will teach you a high-level Kidō. Suguru should learn it as well. Take it as a reward for accepting the commission."

"What Kidō is it? What does it do?"

"Dankū, do you want to learn it?"

"Dankū?"

Looking at the backs of Satoru and the others as they left, Jogo felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

"Dankū, I remember this was the technique Satoshi used to directly block Satoru's Cursed Technique Reversal: Red during the Jujutsu High exam, right?"

Yuto was shocked when he recalled that scene.

"However, Bakudō #81 'Dankū' is indeed suitable for protecting others. This kind of Kidō should be at least in the seventies, right?"

Toji shook his head. "It should be in the eighties. I heard Satoshi mention it before."

"Is that so? If I had known earlier, I would have applied to protect the Star Plasma Vessel too."

Yuto stretched. Anyway, his main goal was to cause trouble.

"Why learn it? Your talent in Kidō is not much higher than mine."

Toji glanced at Yuto and shook his head helplessly.

"That is true, but..."

Yuto glanced at the short one beside him, caught the sour mood coming off Jogo, and immediately dropped the topic.

Jogo himself must also want to master this Kidō cut, right?

Back at the Gojo residence, Shoko had arrived.

To protect Riko this time, Satoshi made a big move. Not only did he arrange for Satoru and Suguru, he also prepared to have Shoko participate.

Two top fighters in the Jujutsu world, one top support in the Jujutsu world, three Zanpakutō, three Kidō users.

Such a lineup was used to protect Riko, and all of this was to prevent the collapse of the original world.

"Shoko, why are you here too?"

Satoru and Suguru were both a little confused, but Shoko just rolled her eyes at them.

"I will also participate in this commission and be responsible for supporting you."

Satoru and Suguru froze for a moment and looked at Satoshi. Seeing he had no other reaction, they both realized how seriously he was taking this matter.

They actually asked Shoko to come with them to protect Riko? Is it really necessary to be so cautious? If Shoko is there, even if Riko suffers a fatal injury, with Shoko's Reverse Cursed Technique and Minazuki, she would probably be able to save her.

Satoru had thought he was serious enough back at the Yorozuya, but now it seemed it was still not enough.

You need Shoko accompanying you. The enemy this time is extraordinary.

Suguru frowned. He had a different temperament from Satoru and did not carry Satoru's air of looking down on the world.

When he heard there were two opponents with Domain Expansion, he knew this mission would be very difficult. Then, when he learned there was another Curse User hiding in the dark who had attacked Satoshi nine years ago, his pressure doubled.

Now that he saw Shoko was here, he also knew Satoshi had made all the arrangements.

Teaching the three of them Dankū and arranging Shoko as support also showed how much importance Satoshi placed on the Star Plasma Vessel and this commission.

Seeing more gravity in Satoru and Suguru's eyes, Satoshi nodded and said,

"If you can pick it up smoothly, the three of you should be able to provide enough protection for Riko. However, in such a short time, your mastery level will not be high. After learning the technique, you still need to spend more time practicing and refining it."

Satoshi glanced at Satoru and Suguru, then said directly, "Satoru, Suguru, attack me at the same time."

After that, Satoshi added, "Use your strongest attacks."

Satoru and Suguru grew solemn. They realized Satoshi wanted to demonstrate Bakudō #81, Dankū, but was it not a bit arrogant to ask them to unleash their strongest attacks directly?

During the previous Jujutsu High exam, Satoshi had to chant to block Satoru's Cursed Technique Reversal: Red. Now, facing both of their attacks, he just stood there casually.

Satoru and Suguru looked at each other, mentally preparing to give Satoshi a small shock.

If Satoshi still thought they had the same strength as when they were at Jujutsu High, then he might suffer a big loss this time.

Chapter 380: Dankū Teaching

"Dankū."

Facing the powerful attacks from Satoru and Suguru, Satoshi lifted his gaze and a transparent barrier appeared in front of him, directly blocking the strike from both of them.

Satoru and Suguru were stunned.

"This, this…"

Satoshi had not recited a single verse, he cast Dankū with just a lift of his hand.

From Satoshi's previous teaching, both of them knew the advantage of no-incantation Kidō was speed of release, but the effect would be reduced.

How is that possible? A no-incantation Dankū actually blocked the attacks from me and Suguru. I did not hold back at all just now.

Satoru's eyes widened. With Six Eyes he saw the flow of Satoshi's Reiryoku, but he had not expected the effect of this barrier to be so strong.

Back during the Jujutsu High exam, Satoshi still needed an incantation to use Dankū to resist.

Suguru felt even more powerless. One Kidō had already shattered his confidence. He had thought their training during this period would let them get closer to Satoshi.

But now?

It felt like the gap was only growing wider.

Their strength was improving, yet Satoshi's had not declined at all.

After waking up, Satoshi had begun improving at a pace they could never catch.

"How is it? Did you learn it?"

Suguru and Shoko both shook their heads helplessly. He showed them a no-incantation Dankū right away. Was Satoshi's teaching always this advanced?

Following Satoshi's gaze, they realized he was not asking them, but Satoru.

Looking at Satoru, who had taken off his sunglasses, they understood he was using Six Eyes to observe the Kidō Satoshi had just used.

After a moment, Satoru let out a breath.

"I got something."

Satoshi nodded, satisfied. In terms of aptitude, his adopted brother was still exceptional. The Gojo family's Six Eyes was almost comparable to the Uchiha clan's Sharingan.

If he had not appeared in this world, Satoru would undoubtedly have been the backbone of the entire Jujutsu world.

Among the three, since Satoru had roughly grasped the flow of Reiryoku, the follow-up guidance for Suguru and Shoko could be handed over to him.

Satoshi glanced at the three and spoke softly.

"Next, I will demonstrate the complete version of Dankū. Memorize the chant order and the flow of energy."

"This kind of advanced Kidō is not easy to master. How much you learn depends on your own comprehension."

Satoshi's demeanor shifted, becoming composed. A low chant flowed from his lips.

"The pride of heaven, the iron wall."

"Cut off heaven and earth before they collapse."

"Bakudō #81, Dankū."

Seriousness filled Suguru and Shoko's eyes. Memorizing the chant was not the problem. The key was matching the chant to circulate Cursed Energy.

The two of them did not have Six Eyes, so they could not feel the changes in Satoshi's Reiryoku at all.

However, Satoru had already memorized the energy flow from the earlier demonstration, and now he was using Cursed Energy to synchronize his flow with Satoshi's.

Meanwhile, Suguru and Shoko did their best to adapt to Dankū's flow by sensing the changes in Satoru's Cursed Energy.

As Satoshi's Dankū appeared, an unstable barrier also formed in front of Satoru.

With just one look, he had already begun manifesting Bakudō #81. Satoru's aptitude was terrifying.

Seeing this, Satoshi nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good. Let Satoru teach you how to master this Kidō. I do not use Cursed Energy, so his teaching will be more effective than mine."

Satoshi was about to leave, when Suguru, immersed in thoughts about Dankū, suddenly reacted and called out.

"Satoshi, wait a moment."

Satoshi paused and turned to look at Suguru.

"Satoshi, thank you for your guidance, for forging my Zanpakutō, and for teaching me Kidō.

I have always wanted to give something in return, but I do not know what you need.

I do not know what this is, but it is very strange.

Satoru said you might be interested in strange items, so I want to give it to you."

Suguru took out a box that could isolate Cursed Energy. Inside was the stone he had obtained before, the one that disrupted the five senses upon touch.

Satoshi raised his eyebrows slightly, surprised.

He had not expected Suguru to make such a decision. In fact, Satoshi knew about Suguru's prior discomfort with him. His actions nine years ago, taken to correct Suguru's worldview, had not been a good experience for a young Suguru.

But now Suguru had prepared a gift for him, which left Satoshi a little moved.

"Suguru, you are thoughtful."

Perhaps it is because of this mindset that such changes happened in the original story. Still, this feeling is good.

Satoshi took the box from Suguru, a little curious.

"Shoko, look at him. You have known Satoshi longer than Suguru. Have you ever given Satoshi a gift?"

Satoru, watching the fun, nudged Shoko with his elbow.

Shoko subconsciously glared at Satoru, a slight blush on her face.

What? I do not want to give him one? Men and women cannot just exchange gifts casually. Satoru knows nothing.

Shoko was also a little emotional. She and Satoshi had known each other for nine years, but when Satoshi woke up nine years ago, they were still young and had never thought about giving gifts.

Now that they were older and at Jujutsu High, how could she casually give a gift unless it was a special holiday?

Suguru really is something. What day is it today, handing out gifts at random?

Is today Christmas? Valentine's Day? Or Satoru and Satoshi's birthday?

It was none of those, yet Suguru prepared a gift.

That really hit Shoko where it hurt.

"Shoko, if you do not have a gift, you can just keep it to yourself…"

Satoru was teasing the girl next to him when he suddenly felt a heavy blow to his abdomen. Shoko drove an iron elbow into him, almost knocking out his lunch.

(To be continued.)
