HRU: Chaper 374/375

Chapter 374: Visitors

Satoshi took a deep breath, and his eyes grew deep, as if he could travel through time and space and see the past and the future.

He said slowly, "According to Toji's description, this Curse User is likely from a mysterious organization that has been secretly training powerful Curse Users in an attempt to break the existing balance in the curse world.

They act in secret and are ruthless, like a poisonous snake hidden in the dark, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time."

After hearing what Satoshi said, everyone felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, as if a huge rock was pressing on their chests, making it hard to breathe.

Jogo frowned and said, "A mysterious organization? I've never heard of it. Could it be that they are more terrifying than the Curse Users we know of?"

Humph, the human world is full of troubles. These organizations pop up one after another. I don't know if the cursed spirits will be affected in the future, which is really frustrating. His flame burned more vigorously, as if venting his inner dissatisfaction and worries.

Satoshi nodded, his expression as serious as an inscription carved on a stone tablet.

"They are extremely dangerous. This attack on the Zenin and Kamo families is probably just the beginning of their plan. It is like the first thunder before a storm, foreshadowing a huge disaster is coming. We must prepare for it as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Toji stood up. His tall body was filled with a sense of oppression. He rolled his shoulders and his joints made a cracking sound, like the beating of war drums. He said coldly,

"No matter what organization they are, if they dare to provoke us, we will destroy them all. Even if it is a dangerous place, our Zenin clan will never retreat."

Satoshi glanced at him and said solemnly, "Don't underestimate the enemy.

We need to make a detailed plan.

Every step and every detail must be considered carefully.

Moreover, I suspect that this attack is not only aimed at the Zenin family and the Kamo family, but the entire Jujutsu world may be their target.

This is a carefully planned conspiracy, and we must deal with it carefully."

Yuto clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force, and said firmly, "Then what should we do? No matter what, we can't let them succeed." There was a determined light in his eyes, like the brightest stars in the night sky.

Satoshi pondered for a moment, his eyes slowly sweeping over everyone, then said, "We must first collect more intelligence to understand their purpose and behavior patterns.

Just like a hunter tracking prey, we must be familiar with the habits and whereabouts of the prey.

At the same time, we must strengthen our ties with other families and sorcerers, and unite all forces that can be united.

Many hands make light work, and only by unity can we have the possibility of defeating them."

At this time, the atmosphere in the Yorozuya became increasingly solemn.

The dim light flickered in the corner, as if it would go out at any time.

Reflecting the heavy expressions of the crowd, each face was filled with worry and determination.

The air was filled with tension and uneasiness, as if it could bind people tightly.

Yuto was lost in thought, his brows furrowed as he tried to digest everything Satoshi had said. His mind was constantly working through countermeasures, like a high-speed machine.

Toji folded his hands in front of his chest, with a determined light shining in his eyes, like the never-extinguishing North Star in the night sky. He secretly swore in his heart that he would make the escaped Curse User pay the price.

...

While everyone was still discussing, a burst of hurried and heavy footsteps suddenly sounded at the door of the Yorozuya, like the drumbeat of fate, rapid and powerful, making people's hearts tighten.

Then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the old wooden door made a painful creaking sound. Zenin Naoya and Zenin Shinsuke strode in, followed by a girl in a high school uniform.

After Zenin Naoya and Zenin Shinsuke entered, they first bowed slightly and greeted Satoshi with a not-so-respectful gesture.

Zenin Naoya had a smile on his face that seemed polite but concealed something. He was thinking in his heart, Satoshi, this time I want to see how powerful you can be. The person I brought will definitely surprise you.

Zenin Shinsuke, on the other hand, seemed somewhat reserved and helpless.

Alas, Naoya is always so impulsive. I don't know whether it is right or wrong to come to the Yorozuya this time.

They moved aside to let the woman behind them out, as if they were showing off a precious and mysterious treasure.

Jogo, Yuto, and the Zenin members all looked puzzled and cast their eyes toward this strange woman.

Jogo frowned and thought to himself,

This woman looks ordinary, nothing special about her.

Is she some powerful character hiding her true self? Or is the Zenin family up to something again? Humph, human affairs are really complicated. His body, burning with flames, trembled slightly, revealing his inner anxiety and vigilance.

Yuto saw a high school girl appear, his expression also became strange, and he guessed in his heart,

Is she related to the mysterious Curse User? Or does she have some unknown secret that made the Zenin family bring her here so solemnly? I hope she won't bring us more trouble.

Toji folded his hands over his chest and looked at her suspiciously.

What's the Zenin family's plan? Is there anything special about this woman? His eyes were like a sharp blade, wanting to peel off the woman's appearance and find out her true identity and value.

The moment Satoshi saw this high school student, he recognized that this was this generation's Star Plasma Vessel, Amanai Riko.

There was no trace of surprise on his face, but his heart was full of curiosity.

He didn't understand why the Zenin family brought Amanai Riko to the Yorozuya at this sensitive moment.

The Zenin family's move must have a deeper meaning. Could it be that they are really unable to cope with the current situation?

Zenin Naoya raised his lips, looked at Satoshi with a hint of provocation and pride, and said sarcastically,

"Satoshi, do you know this person? This woman is hidden very well by the Zenin family, like a treasure buried deep underground. I don't believe you can know her identity."

(To be continued.)

Chapter 375: Doubts

Shinsuke sighed helplessly and thought to himself: Naoya has always been jealous of Satoshi's talent and prestige, especially since his idol Toji has always been willing to follow Satoshi, even at the cost of abandoning his family.

Now that he has found the opportunity, Naoya wants to use this to show off the capabilities of the Zenin family, and at the same time he also wants to embarrass Satoshi.

Everyone looked at Satoshi, only to see him speechless, with his arms folded across his chest, leaning back in his chair.

His lazy posture revealed an invisible majesty.

He asked in return, "The Zenin family brought out the Star Plasma Vessel so ostentatiously? Aren't they afraid of being attacked again?"

His voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable power.

The Zenin family is really getting more and more confused. They brought such an important person out so easily.

When Naoya heard this, the smile on his face froze instantly, as if covered by frost. There was a look of shock in his eyes.

How could he know? Could he really see through everything? Obviously, they did not expect Satoshi to reveal their inner concerns in just one sentence.

Shinsuke looked as if he understood everything, and thought to himself: As expected, Satoshi knows everything. He was already accustomed to Satoshi's keen insight, but at the same time he felt a little helpless about Naoya's recklessness.

Alas, Naoya, you underestimate Satoshi just like the younger me did.

At this time, everyone turned their eyes to Riko, their hearts filled with shock.

It turns out that this ordinary-looking, even somewhat timid high school girl is the legendary Star Plasma Vessel.

Riko was being stared at by so many people. Those curious, vigilant, and scrutinizing looks made her feel extremely scared and uneasy. She subconsciously took a step back, clutching the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, her body trembling slightly, and her eyes full of panic.

What should I do? Why are they all looking at me like this? I'm so scared.

Seeing this, Satoshi no longer paid attention to Naoya's ugly expression, but slowly returned to his seat.

His movements were graceful and calm, as if everything was under his control.

He looked at Naoya calmly and asked again, "Tell me, Naoya, what is your purpose in bringing the Star Plasma Vessel to the Yorozuya?"

Naoya finally came to his senses, cleared his throat, and tried to cover up his gaffe.

He said, "Satoshi, since you know that she is a Star Plasma Vessel, you should also be aware of the current situation.

The Zenin family was attacked, and we are worried that we can't protect her with the power of the family alone."

There was a hint of reluctance in his words, but he had to bow his head due to the situation.

Satoshi narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked back and forth between Naoya and Riko, as if he was thinking about something. His eyes were deep and complex, making them hard to read.

The Zenin family has really encountered a problem this time, but is there any other hidden story behind this?

There was silence in the Yorozuya, with only the heavy breathing of the people and the occasional sound of vehicles passing by outside the window. Everyone was waiting for Satoshi's answer. The air seemed to freeze, and the pressure was so great that it made people feel breathless.

Outside the window, the night in Tokyo deepened. The neon lights shone through the window onto everyone's faces, casting colorful shadows. The bustling streets were still crowded, but it formed a sharp contrast with the tense atmosphere in the house.

Satoshi was silent for a moment, and finally said, "The Zenin family is smart this time and knows how to seek cooperation. But this matter is not trivial, and asking for help also requires the proper attitude."

His voice was calm and steady, but it made Naoya's heart instantly rise to his throat.

Naoya's face darkened and he was about to open his mouth to refute, but was stopped by Shinsuke. Shinsuke hurriedly said, "Then I'll leave it to you, Satoshi. We await your reply." His tone was full of sincerity and expectation.

I hope Satoshi can agree to help, otherwise the Zenin family will be in danger this time.

After saying that, Naoya and Shinsuke took Riko and left the Yorozuya.

On the way back, a hint of curiosity emerged on Riko's face. She already knew her identity as a Star Plasma Vessel, but she didn't know many things in the Jujutsu world.

"Is that young man wearing sunglasses very powerful? It seems like you are afraid of him?"

Riko's words immediately angered Naoya.

"I'm afraid of him? How is that possible?"

Naoya stopped and shouted angrily.

"Then you're not afraid? If you're not afraid, why were your legs shaking in front of him?"

Riko did not give Naoya any face at all. After all, she is a Star Plasma Vessel and the key to Tengen's fusion. She would not be afraid of Naoya at all.

In this Jujutsu world, only the Curse Users wanted to hurt her, and the Zenin members in front of her were not among them.

Naoya's expression froze and he fell into silence.

Shinsuke smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Riko, you are right. We are indeed afraid of Satoshi. Satoshi is the strongest person in the Jujutsu world today and the forger of Zanpakutō."

"Zanpakutō?"

Riko, who is not a sorcerer, didn't know the meaning of this name.

But she was very clear about the title of the strongest person. To have such a title was enough to prove how powerful Satoshi was.

"How does this Satoshi compare to the ice Curse User who attacked the Zenin house before? How does he compare to Toji?"

In Riko's eyes, Uraume is already very strong.

In her mind, Uraume and Toji were the powerful ones, and these two became her standard of strength.

After all, the Zenin family, who had always said they would protect her, was in a very embarrassing situation in front of Uraume.

Shinsuke sighed, but did not hesitate or hide anything.

"Satoshi is a little bit stronger. There is no doubt about that."

Ever since Satoshi destroyed Sukuna's finger with his own hands, Shinsuke knew in his heart that no one in the Jujutsu world could be a match for Satoshi.

Toji might be able to compete with him, but he believed that Satoshi would definitely be the final winner.

Not only does Satoshi possess the strongest body, but he is also the nemesis of sorcerers with his Heavenly Restriction and Jujutsu, and he also created the Zanpakutō system.

The most important thing is that after sleeping for nine years, Satoshi has mastered a power system called Kidō that is different from Jujutsu.

If others were moving forward based on the experience of their predecessors, then Satoshi was the pioneer of everything.
