Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Gojo Satoru's Guilt

Six years later.

"Ming, do you want to go out and play?"

A boy with white hair, white eyelashes, and a pair of blue eyes looked at his younger brother curiously, wondering what his younger brother thought about every day.

Although many in the family said that Gojo Ren would hinder their future and advised against interacting with him, Gojo Satoru had his own ideas. He felt a unique bond with his twin brother, who looked just like him.

Even though this younger brother couldn't use Jujutsu and had Heavenly Restriction, it didn't stop Satoru from showing his care as an older brother.

"Satoru, are you sure the family head will let you go out to play? Both of us have a high bounty on the dark web."

"If you sneak out to play, you might cause trouble for the family."

Gojo Ren glanced at his brother, already accustomed to Gojo Satoru's impulsive nature.

Gojo Satoru and Gojo Ren, the two children of the Gojo family, have a 100 million bounty posted on the dark web.

Such a reward is too tempting, attracting many overconfident Jujutsu masters.

It is absurd to think a low-level Jujutsu master could breach the Gojo family's protection.

The truly powerful upper-class Jujutsu masters know these bounties are traps. The significance of the Six Eyes to the Gojo family is obvious. They represent the family's future, prompting the Gojo family to protect them at all costs.

No one could access Gojo Satoru under these circumstances.

Moreover, even if they managed to kill the Six Eyes of the Gojo family, they wouldn't escape alive due to the Gojo family's furious retaliation.

Therefore, as Gojo Satoru and Gojo Ren grew older, assassination attempts against them decreased.

Now, Gojo Satoru, with his free spirit, wanted to escape his family's protection and adventure out with Gojo Ren.

After all, both of them had Six Eyes!

Yes, both possessed the Six Eyes. Although Gojo Ren's Six Eyes weren't as comprehensive as Gojo Satoru's, they still had the basic function of a 360-degree view.

With both of them together, anyone harboring ill intentions would be detected.

"Satoru, I know you've mastered the Limitless Technique! So, you want to show off, ignoring those killers, and even want to meet them, right?"

Gojo Ren's expression was somewhat helpless.

Although Gojo Satoru's talent is unmatched, he's still a child and not very mature.

After learning something new, he always wants to show it off.

Ren, being more mature, had no desire to show off. If it meant putting himself in danger, he'd refuse.

But, five minutes later.

Gojo Satoru had already carried Gojo Ren over the wall and jumped out.

Ren's expression showed his current thoughts clearly.

——[Gojo Satoru, you! Do you have to squander your talents? There are things you'll regret in the future.]

——[If you treat me like this, be careful. I won't help you fix your regrets in the future. I'll let you end up being cut in half!]

——[Darn, Gojo Satoru, carrying me like this, don't you care about my pride? If I had magic power, if Heavenly Restriction were fully developed, you might not have the upper hand now.]

Ren's heart was full of complaints about his own system.

It's been six years, and he hasn't activated his Zanpakutō ability. The so-called Zanpakutō ghost-walking function has been inactive.

If the system didn't respond to him every time, Gojo Ren would think he got a defective system.

As his body grew, the physical enhancement from Heavenly Restriction began to take effect, but the [Death Fusion System] remained dormant.

If this broken system hadn't saved his life at birth, Gojo Ren might have given up.

He's aware of the Jujutsu Kaisen world. He has Heavenly Restriction and no magic power, but he has potential like Zenin Maki.

With focus, he might become another powerhouse.

In the future, who knows if he or Gojo Satoru would be stronger!

Of course, these are just Ren's inner complaints. Right now, Gojo Satoru, who mastered Limitless Techniques, completely outshines Ren.

——[When will I forge my Zanpakutō? Once I have one, I'll use it to slash you, Satoru!]

Thrown to the ground by Satoru, Ren's eyes showed resentment. He looked up at Satoru standing coolly beside him, while he lay on the ground. It was far from cool.

Thus, the Gojo twins, two identical Six Eyes teenagers, left the Gojo family alone.

"Ren, it doesn't matter if you don't have magic power! I'll help you find a way to become a Jujutsu master. It's just magic power and techniques. Trust me, brother."

Gojo Satoru didn't understand Heavenly Restriction at this time, so he always felt guilty towards Ren.

Six Eyes aren't ordinary. They have innate consciousness and exceptional memory.

Therefore, Satoru remembers what he did to Ren in the womb and knows why Ren lacks magic power.

Satoru knew Ren had magic power before!

Moreover, the intensity was similar to his own. It was due to uncontrollable thoughts that he absorbed Ren's magic power, leaving Ren without it.

In the Jujutsu world, almost everyone has magic power. It's very rare to be completely unaware of magic power like Ren.

Without magic power, Ren doesn't have the Gojo family's unique talents like "Limitless Techniques" like Satoru.

If "cursed power" is like electricity, then the "magic" everyone is born with is like an appliance that produces effects when powered.

In terms familiar to time travelers, cursed power is like chakra in Naruto, and techniques are like jutsu. But in Jujutsu Kaisen, techniques are mostly innate, nearly impossible to learn later, hence called "inherent techniques."

Knowing Ren could have a future like his, Satoru always felt guilty.

That's why he repeatedly advised the family not to interact with Ren, yet he remained close and never gave up on him...

"Satoru, don't worry! It's fine without cursed power."

Gojo Ren smiled slightly. He was actually glad Satoru absorbed his spell power, making him the bearer of Heavenly Restriction.

If not, they might have become like Zenin Maki and Zenin Mai in the future...

Neither their magical powers nor physical talents might have been fully realized!
