Heavenly Restriction User of the Gojo Clan: I Refuse to Be Cut in Half Chapter 162: Zanpakutō – Urozakuro

"Alright. I'll have Yuki take care of it. Have her go to the Zenin estate and retrieve that Cursed Tool."

"Gojo Satoshi, one last question. What is the na of the Zanpakutō you're going to forge?"

This was a test from Tengen.

If Satoshi could na the sword, it ant its power already existed in so form.

But if he only had a conceptual image in mind and didn't know its na, then it ant Satoshi had simply acquired the forging thod from sowhere else.

Satoshi smiled, a faint trace of amusent flickering in his eyes.

Tengen understood imdiately. He had seen through her test.

She thought her plan had failed, but to her surprise, Satoshi spoke directly, revealing the na of the Zanpakutō he intended to craft for her.

"Urozakuro."

"The Zanpakutō I will forge for you is called Urozakuro. If you can fully master it, then the task of assimilation with the Star Plasma Vessel can be left entirely to the blade."

Satoshi stretched, then turned to leave.

"Lord Tengen, I'll leave the rest to you. I need a proper rest. I'm still a bit tired today."

"Is there a place to stay within the Tombs of the Star?"

...

Elsewhere, in one of the larger tea rooms.

When Satoru saw Satoshi arrive and ntion that he would be staying at the Tombs of the Star for a while, he was sowhat surprised.

At that mont, a voice echoed in Yuki's ear.

"Go to the Zenin estate and retrieve the Cursed Tool"

"Understood, Lord Tengen."

Yuki's eyes flickered with understanding as he glanced at Satoshi. He imdiately realized that Satoshi and Tengen had reached so sort of agreent in the other tea room.

Moreover, it seed that Satoshi hadn't lost anything in the negotiation. On the contrary, Tengen appeared to be relying on him.

Under the gaze of everyone, Satoshi nodded with slight helplessness.

"This Cursed Tool is exactly what I need. I'll be forging a Zanpakutō for Lord Tengen, and this item is essential."

"I get the feeling things might not go smoothly if Yuki goes to the Zenin estate alone. Toji, could you help retrieve the Cursed Tool?"

Satoshi looked at Toji. He didn't want to complicate things, and helping Tengen forge Urozakuro as soon as possible was the top priority.

Toji nodded. If Satoshi requested it, that ant the Tombs of the Star were currently secure.

Satoru also offered to go. He understood that the Cursed Tool required for Lord Tengen's Zanpakutō must be extrely important.

Satoru believed that his presence might help smooth things over.

After all, the tension between Satoshi and the Zenin family was no secret in the jujutsu world.

"I don't think it's necessary, but you have nothing else to do here, so go ahead and accompany Yuki and Toji."

Satoshi nodded. In the coming days, he would focus on carefully planning the forging of Urozakuro and also consider what kind of Zanpakutō would be suitable for Yuki.

Once he completed the Zanpakutō for Yuki and Tengen, he could finally leave.

...

Zenin estate.

The mont they heard that the Tombs of the Star had sent an envoy, the Zenin family imdiately suspected it had sothing to do with Satoshi.

But they weren't sure how to respond.

When Yuki, Toji, and Satoru arrived together, the entire Zenin household was stunned by the lineup.

The Six Eyes heir of the Gojo clan.

Tengen's Star Plasma Vessel.

And the Zenin clan's strongest current mber, Toji, bearer of the Heavenly Restriction.

If these three stood together, not even the entire Zenin family could oppose them. Just what kind of mission would require all three of them to appear at once?

"Toji, when did you return?"

Zenin Naobito ca out with Ogi, Shinsuke, and Jinichi to receive the envoy from the Tombs of the Star.

But the first person he looked at was his nephew, Toji.

Even though the envoy from the Tombs of the Star was of high status, to the Zenin clan, Toji held far more weight.

Upon hearing Naobito's words, Toji frowned slightly.

"I'm not coming back. There's nothing here worth returning to."

"A dump is just a dump. I have no intention of living among trash."

Toji's blunt response darkened Naobito's expression.

Ogi's face twitched with suppressed anger, but he held it back. After all, Toji's identity now was not what it used to be.

He was here as Tengen's envoy. More importantly, Ogi was no match for him.

Zenin Shinsuke's expression remained cold. Ever since realizing he would never surpass Satoshi, his progress had stagnated completely.

Unless he broke through the ntal barrier within, Shinsuke would remain at his current level forever.

As for Jinichi, Toji's older brother, though he wasn't pleased with his brother's words about the family being a dump, he didn't dare rebuke him.

His position within the Zenin clan was entirely due to Toji.

"Toji, this is still your ho. You've lived here for so many years. The clan may have made mistakes in the past, but I hope you'll rember what the Zenin family gave you."

Naobito sighed, saying no more.

Convincing Toji to return to the Zenin family would be a long and difficult path. But he wouldn't give up.

If Toji were to return and take charge of the family, the Zenin clan could avoid decline for at least another fifty years.

Satoru watched the tense interaction between Toji and the rest of the Zenin family with a thoughtful expression.

He had never visited the Zenin estate before and hadn't realized how distant Toji was from his clan.

The thought struck him with a bit of fear.

If the Gojo family allowed Gojo Kumaen's faction to continue using emotional abuse to isolate Satoshi, would he one day beco like Toji?

If that were to happen, the Gojo clan could end up in the sa state as the Zenin clan.

Fortunately, that didn't happen.

Even though the Gojo family valued Cursed Energy, they weren't as rigid as the Zenin family.

Under those circumstances, not only had the Gojo clan retained Satoshi, but they had also gained the friendship of Toji.
